Men Are Said to Be Held on False

Washington. Sept. t6.-Nicaragua
Is to be given an application Of the
big stick, and unless two American
citizens confined by the government
are released a clash between that
country and the United States may
follow. According to information re
ceived here the prisoners, William,
s. Albers and his brother, are victims
OF Il plot on the part of officials of the
NlcaraSuan government.
AT conference bet Ween the navy
and state departments it was decided
to send d warship to one of the Costa
Rico ports to convey American Min
lster Merry northward to the nearest
port in Nicaragua to the place where

Tells Facts of Case.
An American of much intelligence
who has been travelling in Central
America engaged in scientific work
has written to friends in Baltimore an
account OF the affair His letter has
eeen forwarded to the authorities
mere. This informant, who is thor
oughly familiar with all the facts of
the case. says:
Ihe Llmon company of which
William S. Albers is the manager is
lccated at Jauapa, Soeovio, near the
border of Honduras. This corpora
ton is engaged in gold and silver min
ing and In raising wheat and tobacco.
Last March a company of armed
men, alleging they were sent by the
government tobacco syndicate. de.
manded of Alters that he permit them
TO enter and carry away his stock of
tobacco under seizure. Albers replied
mat he had no ccntraband tobacco:
that he obeyed the law. An inspec-
ton was made and ne contraband to.
hacco was found
The executive at Managua, the
capital of Nicaragua, then decreed
that anyone holding tobacco in stock
should obtain a permit, or his tobacco
would be confiscated Several Amer
leans holding tobacco applied for the
permits and were refused them
Brothers Are Arrested.
These American holders thereupon
sold their tobacco to the syndicate.
with the exception of Albers. But the
treatment received from Albers. who
threatened to shoot anyone who at
tempted to confiscate the company's
caused the syndicate man
ayers to misrepresent and exaggerate
the actions of Allpers. AS result.
charges of resistance to authority and
violent abuse of the executive were
made. Both the Alberses were arrest
ed and are now held in custody at
Ocotal, pending the verdict of the
court"
The letter says it is probable that
the Alberses will be convicted without
regard to the evidence.

BIG LUMBER MEN
WILL MEET IN LITTLE ROCK ON
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER
%.
Meeting Will Be Of Considerable In
terest, as Association Includes Big
Interests Of State.

1t has been announced that a gene
raj meeting of the Arkansas Short
Leaf Yellow Pine association will be
held in Little Rock, Friday, September
%
This meeting will be one of consid
cradle importance, as the membership
of the association includes most OF the
large lumber interests of the state
who control the greater part of the
announcement has been made as tG
what matters will come up for consid
GRAFTON before the association, but it
is said that the question of making a
general advance in prices will be dis
cussed. The Arkansas mills practical-
ly control the market, so fai as the
81 ort leaf yellow pine is concerned
and the mill men believe, it is said
that in view of the big demand for
the Arkansas product. prizes should
be higher, regardless of whatever ac-
ton the Southern association may
take. The Arkansas association is in
a position to practically dictate the
prices, as this state furnishes almost
81! of the short leaf yellow pine or the
market. Louisiana, Mississippi and
other states further south can furnish
plenty of the long leaf variety of yell
low pine but they have little or none
of the short leaf pine Arkansas has
only the short leaf pine and this is
regarded as much superior to the 9TH
er pine for interior finishing. It has
less pitch in it than the long leaf pine
and, for this reason, is much better
material for doors and other interior
work. For this reason there is a big
demand for the Arkansas pine.
Lumber Trade FIourIshina.
Conditions in the lumber trade in
Arkansas have never been better than
at present, it is said. There is big
demand for the Arkansas product, and
the wholesalers are unable to get suf-
ficient lumber to supply the demand.
The wet weather during the early part
of the season cut down the output OF
many mills, and, although they have
been working to their full capacity
for some time, they have been unable
to meet the steadily growing demand.
AS result of these conditions prices
have steadily advanced, and are still
advancing. The last price list prepar-
ed by the Southern association, about
two weeks ago, showed general ad-
vance of about 81 per thousand and on
some classes of lumber prices have
gone still higher since this list was is
sued
Within the next month the annual
car-shOrtage period will be entered
upon, but the Little Rock dealers are
so situated that they will gain rather
than lose ty this fact. There is never
any difficulty in securing all the cars
needed in Little Rock, but trouble is
generally experienced in other parts
of the state at this season Ct the
year. In this respect the Little Rock
dealers have decided advantage
over their country competitors and
are able to get somewhat higher
prices than the latter.

Little Rock, Sept 16.--The discov-
orv of eight cases of yellow fever at
shelbGurne, Carroll parish. La, eight
miles south of the Arkansas state line,
Yesterday, created a panic among the
residents Of that town and Carroll
narish. People fed toward the Ar
kansas state line in large numbers
and the quarantine guards had huge
task in keeping the refugees back
In an endeavor to effectualy guard
Arkansas against the possible spread
of the fever by the refugees, General
Haynes has taken all the guards
from the river front and concentrate
ed them along the Louisiana Arkansas
line. The detail at every point along
the state line will be Strengthened and
every effort to restrain the panic
stricken refugees from focking into
tions taken by the military forces
the force of deputy sherffs has been
doubled and the local authorities of
the southern border counties are lend
ing their assistance. General Haynes
stated last night that he felt that he
has the situation we'll in hand after
the additional euardsmen have reach
ed their places at the state line. and
he feels that there will be no danger
of the fever reaching Arkansas.
CowbeIl to Deceive Guards.
AS an example of the desire of resi-
dents in Carroll and the adjoining par
ishes to cross into Arkansas because
OF the existence of the fever there |
resort, quarantine guards report the |
capture of a man with coWbell which |
he used to deceive the guards He
was slipping through the woods with .
the bell tinkling, the sound resem-
bling COW feeding and had succeed
ed in making his way for quite dis
tance. A guard detected him, how
ever. and he was forced to return
across the Louisiana border.
All the cases at Shelburne except
two have been taken to Lake Provi-
dence for treatment. The first case
which developed there was that of
S. H. Giles, a section foreman on the
Iron Mountain railroad 1t was not
long before the other cases had devel-
oped.
Shelburne is eight miles south of
Arkana, which is located on the Lotus
ian&-Arkansas line Lake Providence.
which is twenty-eight miles south of
Arkansas, has had a large number of
cases, and one of the most sOrely
Stricken places in Louisiana is Tallu-
lah. which is but short distance
south of Lake Providence. The de-
velopment of yellow fever yesterday
at Cincinnati and Chattanooga among
refugees from these places indicates
making every effort to get away.
Moorehouse parish. which adjoins
carroll parish on the west, is filled
with refugees from the latter and the
residents there are on the border of
panic
Chlcot and the other border coun.
Ties OF Arkansas have recognized for
'ne past four weeks the seriousness of
the situation. The officials have made
several requests for additional guards
put General Haynes has not been able
70 furnish them. The number of dep.
uty sheriffs has been largely increas.
'so and the necessity for still more
guards to- watch the HIGHWAYS seems
evident.

Exonerated BY Department.

The dispatch printed in the Ard
moreite of yesterday to the effect that
the cases against Mansfield, McMur-
ray and Cornish would be dismissed
came as no great surprise in Ardmore.
At the federal building today the an
nouncement that the department had
ordered the cases dismissed was re-
ceived In a perfunctory sort of way.
Although the cases were being pre-
pared for trial IT has been understood
for some time that the tribal officials
would be eXonerated by the depart
ment. So strong was this belief that
the matter was accepted as almost a
settled fact. In addition to the cases
being dismissed against the triba
attorneys Gov. Johnston and ex-Gov.
Mosely have also been fully exonerat-
ed for their alleged connection wit
Chickasaw funds.
Naturally the friends of Mansfield.
McMurray and Cornish were rejoicing
today when the story was printed tina
they have been exonerated. Their
friends here have expressed the ut
most confidence in the firm, and one
leading lawyer said today that he die
not believe the firm was guilty of any
wrong doing although it may have
appeared on the surface that there
were Irregularities.
The dismissal of the cases is unique
proceedings. 1t is very rare that the
department of justice will pass on
cases where parties nave been indict-
ed but this has been done in the cases
of Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish
and GOV. Johnston and eX-Gov. Mosely
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
Chickasaw nation.
