YOUNG ZELAYA'S
BRIDE LEFT HIM
Romance of Son of Nicaragua's Pres,
ident and Washington Girl
Quickly Ended,

Washington, D. c., June 9.-The ro-
nance of Alphonse Zelaya. son Of the
president of Nicaragua, has come to an
unhappy eNd. He and his bride, for
merly Miss Marguerite Baker, have sep
arated. Their marriage, in the spring,
followed the sensational seizure of Mr.
zelaya in Washington by the Mica
raguan authorities and his enforced de-
parture FOR his home in order to prevent
his wedding, and his return after over
coming his fathers opposition.
Mrs. Zelaya returned from New York
to her home in Washington four weeks
ago. She was i'll and went to the home
of DIR. William w. Baker. where she
ing there two weeks she again returned
to New York, apparently to Join her
husband. but now she is again in Wash
inCton.
Accordingto the statements of friends
of the Bakers, Mrs. Zelaya is not the
daughter of DR.. Baker, but has been
a member Of his family since she was
a small child. 1t IS said she had not
been legally adopted, but was regarded
as a daughter.
In speaking of Mrs. Zelaya's return
to Washington and the reports of i'll
treatment Of her by Mr.. Zelaya, Dr.
Baker said today:
Il have brought my daughter back
because of young Zelayas apparent in
ability to care for her. He has not
made much effort to work, and the re-
sources l believed he possessed have not
developed. I thought it would be bet
ter for her and better for him because.
relieved of her care, he might succeed
in improving his own material condi-
tion.' AZ

trouble broke out at Cananea last night
between the striking Mexicans Of

ROOSEVELT TO PIXIES
PEAK Centennial
President and Several Members OF
His Cabinet Will Attend
Important Event.

Chicago, June Civilian E. Curtis,
in the Chicago Record-Herald:
President Roosevelt and Secretaries
Taft, Shaw, Bonaparte, Wilson and
some other members of the cabinet,
perhaps, have promised to attend the
centennial anniversary Of the discovery
of Pixies Peak at Colorado Springs in
September. The president will make one
of his characteristic speeches. Several
of the cabinet will also speak. The sec
rotary of state would like very much to
go, but he will be in Rio de Janeiro in
attendance upon the Pan-American
conference at that time.
When Lieutenant Pike was captured
by Spanish soldiers near Trinidad
Colo, on the 26th Of February 1907
they took from him several maps and
manuscripts which were never recov-
cred. He was allowed to retain his
diary, in which were carefully recorded
the events of each day and the remark
able experiences that he met with, and
the original may be seen in the archives
of the war department At the sugges-
ton Of Representative Brooks Of Colo
rado Secretary Root is trying to recov-
er the other papers from the Spanish
government, or at least. have a search
made for them. They are supposed to
have been sent by the governor of
Santa Fe to the viceroy ut the City Of
Mexico and are likely to have been for
warded by him to Madrid The Span
ish are very careful about the preserva-
ton of documents, and it is entirely
probable that Pixies papers may be
found stored away in the Lonja, large
building devoted to the records Of the
American colonies at Seville That
building contains more raw material
for American history than can be found
in any other place in the world. Secre-
tary Root has brought the matter to
affantinn IF i~1,
and the latter has asked his govern
ment to make search
The state of New Jersey is taking an
active interest in the Pixies Peak CEN
tennial because Pike was native of
trenton. He was born there January
5, 1913. His father, for whom he was
named, was an army officer. most
valiant soldier of the revolution. and
several of his ancestors were famous
in Indian warfare. The family lived
at Easton, Pa. while Pike was a child
and then moved to Dearborn county,
Indiana.

those foreigners IL he will join with
his brothers and claim his rights.
Curse the thought that the Mexican
is worth less than the Yankee, that a
negro or a Chinaman is to be com

fact is the result of very bad govern

ting even with China for the opium
evil. We're sending cigarets in ex-
change for refined dope"
A report issued by the department of
commerce shows that in the fiscal year
just ended the United States exported
$1,300,475 worth of cigarets to China.
while $1,469,9 4S worth of opium was i'm
ported from that country.
Trade Of the United States with
China shows rapid growth during
the last decade, especially In exports
to that country. Total exports to China
in the calendar year 1895 were So, 703 1922,
and in 1905 5S,574.793; the total imports
from China We're in 1895 $21. s42, $50, and
in 1905 $2S,113.s11. The exports from
America, through British Hongkong,
are not included In these figures.
The largest growth in the exports to
China Is noted in 1905 in which the to-
tai value Of merchandise exported to
that country was s5S,574.793. against
$27,921, 03S in 1904 and $14.970,13S in 1908.

imports into that country, including in
this our exports to Hongkong, most of
Which entered China. In 1890 the Unit
ed States was supplying only per cent
of Chinese imports. In 1905 America

fore the special grand jury which is in
vestigating insurance cases. Mr.. Jerome
telegraphcd to Representative Babcock on
Monday, but Mr.. Babcock did not get the
telegram until yesterday. Mr.. Jerome
would like to have him before the grand

er Mr.. Babcock will be able to appear on
that day. From Washington, last night,
came word that Mr.. Babcock was very
busy with his legislative work. and that
while he would answer the summons and
appear at a witness. he might not be able
to get here until Saturday.
While there was nothing in Mr.. Jer-
ome's telegram telling Congressman Bah
cock what he was wanted for, and Mr.
Jerome declined to say last night, it is
pretty well known that the grand jury
wants TO hear Mr. Babcock's version of

Chicago, June flight Of the biz

ing TO the charges made in the Neill-

the packing plants and President Roose-

their methods Of manufacture sani-

that for years doctors, chemists, sani-

to be quite good.
Consumers therefore need not be
alarmed as the committee is closely
watching over their interests. P%-

Wilson concluded his testimony with
renewal of his invitation to the COM
mittee to visit Chicago and bring Mr..
Neill with them.
But don't legislate through Neill's
eyes or my eyes, but through your
own" he said.
Mr. Neill was then put on the stand.
He related his parting interview with
Mr.. Dyson, consulting veterinarian in
Chicago representing the packers. Dy-
son, he said. suggested that Neill and
Reynolds go to Washington and make
no report, but inform the packers of
the conditions found and make sug-
gestions for remedies and then to wait
thirty days and come back and see IL
condition had not been bettered. This,
ne indicated, was to prevent injury to
the trade.
Nell said he replied he was not au-
thoriZed to make any trade or dead :
that he did not know what the presi-
dents plan was. but believed it was
to secure adequate legislation.
Neill rather discouraged the visit Of
he committee to Chicago at this time
as many conditions complained of were
due to negligence and could have been
:emedied Immediately. Neill denied the
statement of Wilson that floors were
scrubbed daily. Dirt in some rooms
was caked on the floor and had not
been washed for weeks.

Ownership of Slaughter House.
Chicago, June 7.-Impelled by disclosures
at the stock yards, Mayor Dunno has an
nounced a new municipal ownership pro-

the city owning A slaughtering plant
where the packers would be compelled to
kill their cattle and prepare the meat for
sale to the public under strict municipal
supervision.
The only difficulty forseen by the mayor
is the problem of raising the necessary
funds for such an undertaking He will
confer with Alderman Frank 1 Bennett,
chairman of the council finance COM
mittee, and other members of the city
council to see if there is not some way
of finding the money.

rect the abuses until they employ work
