ZELAYA ON DEFENSIVE
Politics Behind Refusal of U. s.

A person in the confidence of President Santos
Zelaya of Nicaragua gave to The Tribune yes
terday the inside story Of the refusal Of the
Nicaraguan President to issue an exequatur
to Charles I. Mercury-recently appointed by
President Roosevelt as consul general at Man
aqua He also explained the departure for Cuba
Of Luis +. Corea, Nicaraguan Minister at
Washington, as a sequence Of the affair
OF course. like nearly every action by a Cen
traI American government, politics is the cause
Of the stand taken by President Zelaya. Mr
Mercury, who has been I'm business for many
years in Nicaragua, is married to a daughter OF
J. D. Gamis, who until recently was a power in
Nicaraguan politics. He has been President Of
the Senate, Cabinet Minister, and also looked
after the commercial interests of President
Ielaya. Some time ago there was a disagree
meHt between the President and Sehor Gamis.
Iu Latin American republics when a person be-
comes unpopular with the President he is ap-
pointed to "a position in the government service
outside Of the country. Following this tradition
General Zelaya appointed Senor Ganis as Mica
raSua's representative in the boundary dispute
with Honduras, in which King Alfonso of Spain
is to act as arbitrator. Senor Gamis is now in
Madrid, and thus removed from immediate polit-
icaI influence in the republic

Des Moines. Iowa. March 22-Governor A B.

Governor Cummins Will contend in his answer
that the letter Of Senator EIkins was a ma

behalf of the railroad interests. He contends
that the corporations are anxious to defeat him
in his race for third term Governor, be-
cause he has openly and persistently fought
them, and is making his opposition TO them an

AFTER LOCAL SHIPPERS.
Commissioners Enpect to Disclose
Big UnderbiHng Frauds.

Chairman Knapp and Commissioners Prouty
and Clements, Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, arrived here last night for the hearings
to-day in the cases Of the underbilling of freight
by shippers over the railroads running out Of
this city. The hearings in this city will take
two days, and it Is expected that frauds amount
ing to many thousands Of dollars will be un-
covered. A hearing was held in Cincinnati on
March 10 at which It was found that there had
been extensive frauds in the underbilling Of
coal From here the commission will probably
go to Chicago, and it is likely that the investi-

The investigation is made on complaint Of the
railroads laid before the commission within the

It is thought that it viii be shown that the rail-
roads have connived with the shippers in the
underbnliug OF goods, amounting to a practical
rebate by the railroads.
The witnesses whose testimony viii Doe taken

the shipments and discovered the frauds. There
are about forty inspectors in the metropolitan
district but il is not probable that all Of them

commission as it is thought that under The
decision of Judge Humphrey I'm the Beef Trust
