THE RAILROADS.

The attempt of Wall Street to get
up a fake panic, in order to bulldoze
the administration SO that a halt
might be called, has proven fiat
failure. Legitimate, honest business
methods as applied to railroad man
agement has nothing to fear at the
hands of Congress, State Legisla-
lures or the President Legitimate,
dishonest watering of stock of the
Hartman order is what must be
stopped, and it will be. The people
OF this country, not the politicians,
are back of this movement. Wild
cat speculation in railroad stocks
and bonds will not only bring on a
disastrous panic, but will force more
drastic legislation by the States
and the United States, having fur
Their and better control over these
railroads. If this occurs the rail
road management or mismanage-
ment will be responsible. The HaI
riman class of men who control the
vast properties must be unloaded
and that quickly.

RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME

Brainstorm, irresistibleimpulse, in
sanity. has been the talk OF the peo-
Ole and theme of the press for some
time. Atwhat stage and under what
conditions man is responsible Tor
his acts has been the subject OF ex-
pert testimony in several important
criminal trials recently. Some one
has said that when all other pleas
fail in murder case the defense
rushes into either plea OF abb or
insanity. The insanity plea II car
ried much further will resolve itself
10 this-that a man seemingly sane
is insane when he commits murder,
because sane man would not COM
nit murder. and that is absurd.
Every man should be held account
able for what he dOes-what is the
legitimate result OF his acts-and IT
the insanity plea is interposed it
should be sustained by some facts,
some proof OF insanity other than
expert testimony. Expert testimony
il, not to be undervalued. but at the
sIme timesome otherevidence should
be required. Expert testimony is
rarely used when a very poor man is
on trial. The size OF man spocket-
book and bank account will tell how
many orhow few expert witnesses will
appear in his case.

MULE CAUSED WAR

Nicaraguan Cavalry Charged With
Entering Honduras and Stealing
Mule-caused Dispute Which Ended
In War;
Washington. March lS.-One mule.
mule belonging to Senior lreneo Sal
gadO was the chief object of the dis
pute between Nicaragua and Honduras
when they began the quarrel which
finally ended in the war that is threat
ening the peace Of all Central Amer
lea. according to the official communi-
cations exchanged by the ministers OF
foreign affairs for the two republics,
COPIES of which communications have
been received in Washington.
The controversy began when Senior
Augusta c. Coetello, the Honduran
minister for foreign affairs. wrote a
note to Senior Jose d. Gamezsthe Mica
raguan minister for foreign affairs, on
January 26. protesting against the. theft
of a mule from Ireneo Salgada by 80
Nicaraguan cavalrymen, who were
charged with entering Honduran terri-
tory.
In reply. Senior Gamez said the Mica
raguans did not quite enter Honduras,
although they passed near to the lit
tie town of Los Manos, in that repub-
lie. The taking of the mule was not de-
MED. but Senior GameZ insisted in his
letter that Salgado was not a Hondu-
ran citizen, but Nicaraguan, who had
TO leave that country because of the
part he played in a revolution two
years before. Consequently, Nicaragua
maintained that Honduras had no
right to fly to the defense of Salga-
dos mule.
This note brought a spirited reply
from Honduras, the minister of for
eign affairs announcing that Ireneo
Salgado, the Nicaraguan refugee, was
living in Tegucigalpa, happily engaged
In trade there, while man by the same
name, a most reputable and respected
farmer, Honduran of unquestianed
citizenship. lived at Los Manos. and
owned the much-mooted mule.
Nicaragua replied that it was true
that Colonel Juan |. Rocha, who COM
manded a party of cavalrymen. took
a mule near Las Manos, but reiterated
that the animal was not taken in Hon
duran territory. Dispatches grew Ion.
ger as the controversy waxed warmer.
other questions arose. Then the ar
bitration tribunal was opened, and
finally the break came when President
Zelaya. of Nicaragua. withdrew his
member of the board of arbitration.
