Mr.. Pears; alleges United States Min
lister Hunter has done nothing In the
matter.
Pears will again press the case at
Washington. Pears was refused per-
mission by the Honduras authorities to
disinter the body of his brother.

John b. Richards and w. H. Har-
rS American citizens, have also reach

UNWARRANTED CRITICISMS.
1t is said at the State Department
tnat the criticisms passed upon Min
lister Hunter in connection with the
Pears case are entirely unwarranted by
the facts. 1t is said that so far from
MI. Hunter being responsible TO any
delay In the prosecution of the claim
against Honduras. the State Depart
ment has simply delayed further action
on representations to it: that the man
Pears who had just arrived in New Or
