LAWLESS ACTS TOLERATED
A Well-Known Newspaper Correspon-
dent and a Prominent Physician Are
Sentenced to Banishment from
Nicaragua for IA Years

Managua, Nicaragua, September 20.-The
courtmartial which was in session here
for several months trying, in the absence
of the most of them, the chiefs of the
revolutionary government which began in
February at Bluefields, has proclaimed its
decision.
the prominent leaders was captured. He
insurgent officers who escaped from Nicar-
aqua are condemned to death. Only one of
the prominent leaders were captured. He
is now in the penitentiary. 1t is believed
that he will be placed in chains for life
instead of being shot.
Adolfo Vivas, a we'll known newspaper
correspondent, and DIR. Jose Meuria
Quadras, a prominent physician, who was
educated in the United States, together
with a few other young men, are sentenced
to banishment from Nicaragua for fourteen
years
To the general surprise of the public,
President Zelaya has with ma few days ar
rested several prominent citizens of Leon,
Nicaragua, and transferred them to the
Managua penitentiary. No public accusa-
ton was made in these cases or is any
reason offered for the arrests
The sensation is all the greater because
there have been no indications of an up
rising against Zelaya since last February.
AS a matter of fact the natives have been
busy on their farms endeavoring to make
a living for themselves and families and
to recover from the evils of scores of reyo-
lutions, forced loans and heavy fines.
Such lawless acts as the government Is
committing In this regard, usually at
the expense of members of the party now
| in power, tend to check the returning ac-
tivity and again to impair credit Except
for such arrests, however, and the impress
sing into the army, matters are fairly quiet.
President Zelaya is giving truly nation
al reception to General e. Alexander of
South Carolina, in the latters capacity OH
arbitrator of the boundary between Mica
ragua and Costa Rica. The various issues
involved have been settled and the boun-
dairy has been distinctly marked.
General Alexander has been for nearly
three years at San Juan, Del Norte en-
gagged in this important work, at report
ed salary of 81 900 in gold and his expenses
per month, paid, it is said, by the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
All his decisions seem to have been just,
and In full accord with the facts, and his
course here has been highly creditable to
himself and the United States government.
1t is quite probable that Costa Rica Will
also extend to him national hospitalities
and courteses.

At Alliance. o.

Alliance, O., October 5-The Pennsylvania
special bearing the presidential party west
ward arrived in Alliance at 1O:45, having
made the run from Pittsburg without
stopping. The president and party spent
the morning quietly. Crowds were no.
ticeably absent at the stations along the
line, as II was we'll known that no stops
would be made.
According to the printed itinerary, no
speeches of any length were made today.
During todays trip through Ohio and In
diana stops of five minutes were scheduled
for Canton, Akron, Fostoria and Defiance,
O., and Fort Wayne, Ind, and If crowds
of any magnitude are present at the sta
tions it is possible that short speeches will
be made by the president from the rear
platform.
Early this morning the private car Of
Senator Hanna was attached to the presi-
Dental train for a short time at Pittsburg,
allowing the president and senator an op-
portunity for brief conference.

and Canton was especially warm. The
short stops did not permit any speechmak-
ing and the good-sized crowds which had
gathered were forced to be satisfied with
congregating about the rear platform and
shaking hands with the president and
members of the cabinet. The presidents
niece, Miss Mary Barber, boarded the train
at Canton.
Defiance, O., October 5.-As the presiden-
tial train went farther westward through
the state of Ohio the crowds at the sta
tions grew larger. At Chicago junction, a
great number Of school children were col
lected at the depot waving flags and cheer
ing for the president. At every station the
crowd loudly clamored for speech, but
the first day of the trip was passed con-
trary to expectations, without an address
or speech of any kind and the addresses at
the Quincy Soldiers home tomorrow morn
ing will mark the opening of the president $
tour to the northwest. The largest crowds
of the day were at Tiffin and Fostoria.
The entire trip from Washington to the
Dakotas and return is given on the printed
itinerary as covering 5000 miles. The
| tracks of sixteen different railroads will be
utilized in covering this distance.
