TETHEROW IS SENT
TO LUMBER CAMP
Nine Convicted Criminals Will Serve
Out Sentences With Henderson
Lumber Company.

Glen Tetherow was one of the nine
criminals who were sent to the camp of
the Henderson Lumber company below
Montgomery yesterday afternoon to serve
ont his sentence of forty years. Glen has
been an inmate of the county Jail for
more than three years. and had become
one of the most trusted prisoners. Until
the confirmation of his sentence by the
supreme court the other day he acted as
assistant stevedore, and the warders give
him credit for being the best prisoner
they have ever had.
Now that Judge Tetherow of the Kan
CARGO court has been removed an election
will be ordered to fill the vacancy. This
will probably be held tomorrow morning.
and a number of the prisoners will more
than likely run, prominent among them
being Richard Wray, the present prose-
cutting attorney.

Intervention Impossible.

Washington, February 2.-Such adj
vices as reached the state department
from Central America today indicate the
existence of a deep seated suspicion by
each of the republics of the motives of
another that does not tend to make
easier the task. set for the United States
and Mexico of reconciling Nicaragua and
Honduras. In fact, the officials have al
most reached the conclusion that not
until the quarrel has proceeded further
and some bloodshed has sobercd the in
famed parties to the strife, will it be
possible to attempt to intervene success
fully even to the extent of a prefer of
arbitration. The last statement bearing
on this point is to the effect that Sal

possible that this is founded ON the fact
that these two countries have generally

So Hungry.

The first words ON shore by Frau
Schroeder were. "Oh, we're so hungry"
Relating her experiences, Frau Schrae-
der said:
Il never can forget the terrible hours
we passed while watching with our hearts
| might say, the efforts of the crews of
the lifeboat and the tugs to snatch us
from the jaws of death. Thursday night
our anguish reached its height Then
the gale seemed tiercer than ever Noun
famous, death-cold pillows broke over
the ship every minute, and the dense,
binding blizzard hid the comforting lights
of the port. At about $3.50 in the morn
ing we heard the siren of an incoming
steamer and Fraulein Buttel in frenzy
of despair shouted to the bowling winds:
We're here. Whenever we saw or heard
a passing craft we shouted, fearing lest
the people on shore think all was over"
According to Steward Fisher the two
women, Fraulein Thiel and Frau Wern-
berg, were alive when the tug came out
but died before the work of rescue was
completed. Fisher said:
when l left the wreck the engineer
was scarcely breathing. and there is no
hope of getting him off alive.
I'VE had "A terrible time. When the
steamer broke twenty-five of us took
refuge in a recess behind the smoke room.
This morning only fifteen remained We
could get no good sleep; We were too
busy lodging the waves that kept food

one another to keep warm, but we had
to cling to what We could when n big

people who put off in boats to view the
wreck and watch those searching for
bodies in the sea-
The survivors praise highly the gracious
ness of Prince Henry, who personally
assisted the women and had gloves pro-
vided for them. The Prince wrapped his
fur overcoat about one woman. Captain
Jansen of the lifeboat and the other res
cuers warmly praised the courage of
Prince Henry, who went out in the smaller
boat. pulled at the oars and helped tor
