ZeIaya Drops Bond;
Didn't Face Theft Charge

She had declared in the morning that
she had done with him forever and
would never relent in her attitude Of in
difference to his fate, but mutual friends
got busy end persuaded her 20 see him
once more Both wept copiousiy when
brought together. and Mrs. Zelaya an
nounced tnat she had changed her mind
ind would stick to her uncertain hubby
IN the Feeantime Attorney James b.
Green. OF 1925 New York avenue, had
been brought into the case by some per
sons anxious to see young Zelaya get
out of his scrape. and the young man
was much encouraged by the advice
and kindly words he received from the
attorney. Mr.. Green said this morn
ing that he thought Zelaya had been
punished enough, and that he was con-
fdent the authorities would not be too
hard on him for what was really the
prank of an unthinkiag youngster.
Ia the summer garden while Zelaya
was playing were several attaches or q
South American legation who seemed
Intensely interested IN Zelaya and what
was said about him, but they gave him
no sign OF recognition as ne passed
and made few comments on his per
formancc. One Of the features OF his
case has been that he has been cut by
the entire Diplomatic Corps.
Zelaya said this morning that he was
going to stick 10 his job and try 70 get
together enough money 70 go 70 some
other town where he can be forgotten.
Playing the piano is his only means OF
making a livelihood. He has never
worked before and expressed the opinion
some time ago that the son OF Presi-
dent ought not 10 work; that II was
shockingiy bad form. His friends say,
however. that If he is given an oppor-
tunftv he will show that there is the
making OF a man IN him.

Indictment Looked For.
It was said by business man today
that he confidently expected that the
jury will return the indictment or in
dictments that are looked for. He
understood that there will be a great
mass Of evidence adduced by the small
er ice dealers of the city He thought
also that the attitude OF the American
Ice Company is such that 1t would not
be surprised at indictments being found.
although they do not anticipate that
the indictments could be for a moment
sustained IN court so as to bring any
penalty upon the company.
At the offices of the company. how
ever, It was stated that the officers do
not expect any material results from
the grand jury's investigation OF the
matter. because there is absolutely no
proof of any wrong doing or anything
TO restrain the local ice trade.

District Attorney Baker declined 10

The reason Vinol is so far superior
