WILL ARRANGE PEACE
Guatemala and San Salvador Are to
Submit Their Differences But Hon
duras May Not Become Party to
the Negotiations.

Oyster Bay, July 16.-Peace negotia-
tions between Guatemala and Salvado"
are being arranged by President
Roosevelt and Acting Secretary OF
State Bacon at Sycamore Hill. The
question is not yet settled as to wheth-
er Honduras will become party to the
negotiations at this time. 1t is rea-
soned here this would hardly be fair to
Guatemala in view of the fact that
Honduras only recently declared war
besides it would not be fare to compel
Guatemala to face two former foes in a
peace conference at one time. Hon
duras will probably agree to settle
ment arranged by states primarily in
volved. The negotiations doubtless
will be held on board the American
cruiser Marble Head, now in Guate-
malan waters.

Washington, July 16.-Perfect sani-

to West Indian negroes employed on
the Panama canal Altho Col. Gorgas
and his assistants have banished yell

which made the canal zone one large

Living for generations in small huts
where large families crowd into rooms

groes from Jamaica and other tropical

Indian laborers cannot be induced TO
eat sufficient wholesome food to keep
them in good health even when supplies
are furnished to them at coss and the
price of meals are made attractive at
great expense to the canal commission.

day, where he Is prisoner, accused OF

was preceded by that Of Thaw's wife.
Evelyn, but the latter, upon ascertaiIl-.
ing that Mrs. William Thaw had not
yet visited the Tombs, declared she
desired her husbands mother to have
the first opportunity Of seeing the
prisoner. The younger Mrs. Thaw
then retired to the consulting room to
await Mrs. William Thaws arrival
Before the latter reached the prison.
her sons counsel Clifford w. Hart
ridge, called on Francis J. Lantry,
commissioner Of corrections, and en-
deavored to make arrangements SO
Mrs. Thaw could meet her son In the
consulting room at the Tombs, instead
Of talking with him thru the bars OF
the cell, but Lantry instructed the
warden he could make no exception TO
the prison rules in Mrs. Thaw's case.
The mother reached the prison short
ly before noon. In the meantime large
crowd gathered about the entrance to-
the prison. and when her cab stopped
at the door bystanders pressed for
ward SO closely that the police had diff
|ficulty in making a line thru them to
permit Mrs. Thaw to pass into the
prison. Mrs. Thaw was met at the
door by the prison warden, who told
her it would be necessary for her to
comply with the prison rule that all
visitors must be searched. Mrs Thaw
then retired to the room Of the Tonbs
matron where the rule was complied
with. She then made her way to cell
No. 220. and greeted her son for the
first time since he shot White.

The girl, however, pointed him
out of Sergeant Carberry. The two
men faced each other. each with pis-
tol pointed at the other. The officer
parleyed with the man. urging him to
surrender, but Hudson warned them
that he would surely shoot to kill IL
they approached. Finally he said:
Now, YOU fellows wait few min
utes. i know there will be ten years
ahead of me, and | want to decide
whether to go with you or kill myself.
1 DON'T care for myself, but l don't
want to bring disgrace on my mother,
