New Orleans, June 2S-A coup by which the

When war between Nicaragua and Honduras
was a bare possibility Consul General Echasear-
reta then stationed in New Orleans for the
Nicaraguan government, informed President
Zelaya that he knew of a place where rifles
could be bought at from S. to S4 each and am
muniton for almost nothing. These arms had
been purchased for the Cuban Junta, but the
turn Of affairs on the island made their ship
ment impossible. For that reason, Consul
Echasearreta said. they could be bought at a
sacrifice. President Zelaya gave the order. and
the Consul went to New York where he pur-
chased more than ten thousand rifles and 4
large quantity of ammunition. The consign-
ment was shipped in cases to New orleans and
was then sent to Nicaragua.
President Zelaya after learning that his gov
ernment had been swinded and refuse matter
palmed off for modern arms payment for which
had already been made summoned Consul
Echasearreta TO Managua. II is understood thar

suffering also. The same applies TO France and

Tt is a surprising commentary on Mr.. Har-

administration our country has enjoyed the
greatest season Of material prosperity ever
known"
Mr. Carnegie thinks the present general de-

that President Roosevelt is a truly conservative

The Republican Township Caucus
this afternoon promises TO be pretty
well attended. There are really more
candidates than offices and its up to
the working candidate to bring in the
voter who don't vote. AS to picking
out the right candidates there is only
one safe rule to go by, and that is pick
out those whom we KNOW are Repub-
Iicans. We believe IN party loyalty at
all times and If this is to be Repub-
llcan ticket oniv those who are OF that
persuasion should be allowed on.
The Sad Scribe received a severe jolt
Yesterday when Informed by one of
the Township Committee that this
was an independent ticket. If this
is true, then the contention to Vote
only for Republicans tails down.
However the call is Republican, and
we contend that there Is plenty OF
good timber in our township without
br eaking into Anti-Republican ranks.
