Modjeskn's Grnnddaushtcr Pursued
BY ScOUnIresa.

Chicago, March 2S.--N-ithin the last
two weeks two attempts have been
made to kidnap the 4-year-oll grand
daughter Of Nine. Modjeska the act
ress, of this city. The first attempt

nurse followed several blocks scream
ing before she succeeded in recoy yering

jeska, the father, received an an
onymous letter warning him to leave

PEACE TERMS WE'RE REFUSED
Possibility of n General War in Gem
trail Ameritn.

Managua, Nicaragua, March 30 (via
C.llveston). The peace commission,
consisting Of Dr.. Prudente Alfaro, vice
president of Salvador; General Comlns
Of Salvador, and Senior Romrez Mica
raguan minister Of foreign affairs, has
returncd here from La Paz, where
conference with the representatives Of
the insurgent Leonists had been held.
The terms offered by President Zelaya
are understood to be absolute surren-
der Of all arms, payment of all war ex-
penses and surrender of the leaders for
trial. The insurgents not only refused
to accept these terms. but demanded
that the president turn over to them
the government Of Nicaragua. Conse-
quently the war will be continued with
renewed bitterness on both sides. There
is great excitement here. Steps are be-
ing taken to reinforce the troops at the
front and begin then advance on Leon
as soon as the much needed supplies Of
ammunition reach the government
forces. The government is said to be
hard pressed for funds as well as am
lnunitiO1l, which facts are not unknown
to the LeOnists, who are understood to
be receiving secret support from Guat-
en1ala and other sources, which may re-
suit in complications likely to cause a
general war throughout Central Amer
ica.
1t is suggested that this is good op-
portunity for intervention upon the part
Of the United States with a view to
bringing about peaceful settlement of
the question in dispute, as a conflict in
volving all the Central American re-
publics would put a serious check upon
the business and development of the
natural resources of Central America.

dorsing Mckinley, the defeat Of the six

ternoon al Ravenna, Portage county,

based is largely circumstantial. Thir-
teen years ago Strong Was sent to the

Viction being secured by the testimony
of Stone. Several years later after his
release from prison, he was arrested
again for the same crime, and again
convicted on the testimony of Stone He
gained his liberty the second time
about three weeks ago. After the trag-
edy he was suspected of the murder of
Stone and his wife. When taken into
custody today Strong said he was at
the home of his sister at Rave1na all of
Saturday night, and that he had gone TO
church Sunday morning.
In one of Strong's pockets WIS found
