WASHINGTON, D. c., May %
Disquieting advices of revolutionary
movements against President Caceres of
Santo Domingo, led to a conference to-
day between officials of the state and
navy departments. Details indicate that
ex-President Morales is making a deter

the presidency.
Some of the leaders who were instru-
mental in ejecting Morales from office
are reported now to be on his side and
many rumors have been received OF pur-
chases of arms and gathering of revolu-
tionists in ports adjacent to Santo DO
mingo.

NO GRATING At ZION
JUDGE lands GIVES OPINION ON
DOWIE TANGLE.
Declares His Commissioners Have Found
No Misrepresentation of Funds-1n-
dustries Can Be Made to Pay.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, May 22.-Judge Lam
dis today in the United States district
court issued an order restraining Wilbur
G. Voliva and all of his attorneys,
agents and employees from disposing of,
or in any manner dissipating the assets
of the estate of Zion City.
An injunction previously issued enjoin-
ing the counsel for Voliva from attempt
ing to secure the dissolution Of an in
junction in the state court which pre-
vents Voliva from interfering with Dow
lie was dissolved by the court. Judge
Lands said he preferred to preserve the
estate under his own order.
An order declaring Dowie, individually,
to be insolvent was entered by the court.
In making these orders, Judge Lands
said that the agents who had been ap-
pointed by him to examine into the CON
dition of affairs at Zion City had re-
ported to him that the Zion City indus
tries can make money; that there has
been no misrepresentation of funds, and
that under proper management the estate
can be made to pay 100 cents on the
dollar.

GERMAN CONSUL
SLAIN IN PANAMA.
Native Shoots Him While He Is Seated
in Restaurant with His
Chief.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 21.-A.
Cannich, vice consul of Germany at
Bocas del Toro, Panama, and cashier of
the United States Fruit company, was
killed May - by native named Meier.
Cannich was seated in a restaurant with
Consul Beckman, when Meier entered
and opened fire. 1t is claimed Meier in
tended to kill Beckman, but missed him
and shot Cannich.
The murderer was arrested and 1t TOOK
the entire police force armed with rifles
to prevent a lynching.
Marines Sent to Panama.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 22.-Act-
ing on information which is not given to
the public, the administration has or
dered a large number of marines to
points near Panama IN expectation OF
revolutionary outbreaks on the lsthmus
at the coming elections, early in June.
The cruiser Columbia, which sailed
from League island navy yard for Guam
tanamo, Cuba, Monday, carried more
than 400 marines. The cruiser Marble
nead. attached to the Pacific squadron, Is
lup at Amapala, Honduras. not far from
the Pacific side of the isthmus, where
there is a cable station. The Marblehead
has q large number of marines on board.
The Columbia will go direct to Guam
tanamO.
Radicals Now May Subside.
There can be no doubt the government
here had information which strongly in
aicates that the Radicals intend to make
trouble at the elections. 1t is likely,
however, that in view Of the concentra-
ton of marines ready to land on the
isthmus and engage in any revolution,
tha Radicals will cool down.
From unofficial sources it is learned the
trouble is based mainly on the fact that
the Conservatives, now in power, have
everything fixed for sweeping victory.
Direct Warning Sounded.
A distinct warning was sounded by the
administration several weeks ago as to
the course this government would take
if there was a revolution in Panama.
There was good deal of correspondence
on the subject, and both Secretary Taft
and Secretary Root aired their views.
There was no mistaking the meaning in
the letters of both. This was based on
the belief a revolution will interfere with
the canal construction.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Pleas of not
guilty of the charge of allowing rebates
on shipments of sugar, which had been

way, Nathan Guilford, it's vice pres-
dent. and Fred L. Pomeroy, it's general
traffic manager, in reply to the indict
ments found against them by the fed
eral grand jury, were today withdrawn,
in the United States district court.
Eight demurrers were interposed in their
stead, chiefly on the ground that the in
dictments do not set forth the charges
with sufficient particularly to enable
the accused to make a proper defense.

CHAPTER XIX.

Had the keen witted Easton been asked
why he felt impelled to disburse ten
guineas for the benefit of the lessee of the
Epic Theater, he would scarcely have
been able to make an immediate reply. In
his rapid airy fashion he had picked up
and pieced together certain little bits of
evidence tending to prove that the young
people with whom he found himself on
somewhat sudden terms of intimacy were
exceedingly interesting
Matthew Mark Easton was leisurely
surveying the half-empty house when
Miss Winter, Helen Grace and Oswin
were shown into the box by an official.
His quick glance detected momentary
droop of Helens eyelids. A laundering
man would have made some reference to
Tyar's lateness of arrival. Easton did
ward chairs for the ladies, and did the
honors with a certain calm ease which in
no way savored OF familiarity.
Il should like" said Miss Winters, I'M
tying the ribbon of jaunty little opera
cloak, ''the darkest corner"
''Why?" asked Helen, almost sharply.
Because the piece is said to be very
touching and l invariably weep"
Sdlu IIaSlOn sui IL Sdi1AoL
be done. But I can lend you huge pair
of opera glasses"
But" urged Miss Winter, "my tears
drop-audibly on the program"
we want the dark corners for the men
the background" urged the American,
holding chair invitingly. 1--WE love the
shadow Ell, Grace"
'Speak for yourself" said the sailor,
bluntly, pulling forward a second chair
and seating himself Immediately behind
Miss Winter.
One great fault in Matthew Mark Eas-
ton was soft heartedness. He was one of
those mistaken men who hesitate to pun
ish a dog.
at appears" continued Easton as Ty-
ars entered the box, that the piece is
touching. We shall require your moral
support that calm exterior of yours will,
| surmise, assist us materially to keep Il
serene countenance turned toward the
stalls"
Don't be personal" replied the En-
glishman. You may rely upon me at the
pathetic parts. 1t is some years since l
wept."
1.-The last time 1 did it," said the Amer
lean, LnOuSnIlully, WAS WITCH SOL LILY
ears boxed because another fellow broke
window"
Helen and Miss Winter laughed. They
all felt that there was a hitch some
where. They were conversationally lame
and halt.
1--WE both told untruths about it, con-
tinued Easton, determined to work this
mine to it's deepest. But mine failed,
while his succeeded. That was why l
wept. Mine was not an artistic lie, [
admit; but it might have got through with
a little good luck. There is nothing so
humiliating as an unsuccessful attempt to
pervert the truth. Have you not found
that so, Miss Winter? But of course you
would not know. l apologize; | am sor-
nv. Of course you never tell them"
"Oh, yes" said the lady, candidly, Il
do"
At this none the curtain was drawn
up, and Miss Winter broke off suddenly
in the midst of her confession, turning
toward the stage and settling herself COM
fortably to watch the play. In so doing
she unconsciously drew her chair little
further away from Helen and thus left
her and Claud Tyars more distinctly
apart.
