New Orleans, La, March
States Minister Merry has beer driven
from Nicaragua by soldiers, his cable
grams and mail seized and the United
States flag insulted by President Eel
ava. Mr.. Merry, at last accounts, a
closed the legation and was in Costa
Rica.
These accounts were brought here by
passengers on several ships n south
American ports. The news hrmed
by a prominent resident Of leans
just back from the tropics,
Minister Merry and PresiC Zelaya
had a stormy interview following
charges that Minister Merry's official
papers and dispatches had been tam
pered with, and Mr.. Merry intimated
that Zelaya was to blame. A INST nght
was the result and guards in the Zelaya
mansion had to interfere.
Due to Zelaya's Cupidity.
Mr.. Merry had been pushing a claim
for $50, 900 against the N~icaraguan gov
eminent for Samuel Well, of New
Orleans. who does a commercial bust
ness with towns in Nicaragua. Mr..
Merry was having success with his
claim against the government, n
Zelaya, to whom at this time money
is doubly precious, perceived that he
might be forced to pay the claim. He
needed that $50, 900 in his wal against
his hated enemy, Bonilla.
Three weeks ago Merry awoke to the
fact that his cablegrams were being
tempered with, this being easy for the
government, because it controlled the
cable and the cable stations.
Whether Merry openly accused the
president of having Nicaraguan ennis
saries Of the government rife his dis
patches has not appeared. But there
were hot words. determinations n
recriminations passed between Zelaya
and the United States minister. Both
were thoroughly aroused, and a rough
and tumble fight was started.
Mr.. Merry made known the facts to
Washington. He was ordered to close
the legation and start for Costa Rica.
Gathering his papers together he start
ed for his vessel, which was to carry
him to Costa Rica.

Instantly a file of Nicaraguan SOL

the United States.
Drawing his revolver, Mr.. Merry
stepped to the rail of the vessel, and In
pure, unadulterated, but very forceful
English language, informed the min.
lister of war that he would be shot to
death If he stepped foot on the ship.
The war minister and his soldiers re-
tired and reported to President Zelaya,
Mr.. Merry went on his way and ten
days later arrived in San Jose, from
which point he communicated with this
government.

Mound cemetery at Zion City, beside
the grave of Dowie's daughter, who
died several years ago from burns
caused by the explosion of an alcohol
lamp. No memorial services for the
deceased were held In Zion City, he

a tribute to Dowie by n of the dea-

services was observed.
Chicago, March 9.-Unable to recover
from the condition into which he was
thrown by being deposed from the posi-
ton of head of the Christian Catholic
church, John Alexander Dowie, aged 60,
Elijah H." as he styled himself, died
here his morning. He a been grad
ually sinking since the row which
ousted him from Zion City. He was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 20,
1917.
Mrs. Dovie, Judge Dowie, the
prophets father, and his son Gladstone,
in Ben McDhui, Mich. have been noti-
fled and are coming. Judge Barnes,
who was at the bedside OF Dowie, is q
member of Voliva's council, but re-
manned friendly to Dowie, believing him
to be insane n not responsible for
his actions.
Dowie's wife, father n son held the
same view and though e~stranged will
attend the funeral.
In 1860 Dowie's parents removed to
Adelaide, Australia, where for seven
years the youth was a clerk in n bust
ness house. Here he developed COM
mercial instinct that served him SO well
later in life. He saved enough money
to return to Edinburgh at the age of
20 and take a five years curse in the
ology and arts.
Dowie landed in San Francisco IN
1888. He needed $3.50 n had just told
his wife he had asked God for it,"
when a man he had not seen in months
came along and put the mount in his
hand. That was the starting point in
his wonderful money-getting greer in
the western world. DoIyie, his wife,
sol and daughter arrived in Chicago il
1890.
During the next five years Dowie was
arrested at least 100 times for violation
of city ordinances relating to care of
the sick, but the more trouble made
for him he more he prospered.

ROOSEVELT STAMPEDES
CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS

Sacramento, Cal, March 13.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt has again appealed to
the legislature of California to stop
all Japanese legislation. The president
has sent a telegram to Governor Gill
lette, urging that the legislature sus-
pend all Japanese legislation and ex-
pressing the fear that the action of the
senate Saturday in passing the two
Japanese bills n a resolution may
render ineffective his efforts to secure
exclusion of Japanese laborers by
friendly agreement with Japan.
The governor transmitted the presi-
dents telegram to the assembly, where
action was to be taken On the two
bills n the resolution adopted by the
senate, with a message recommend
ing and urging that the presidents re-
quest be acceded to.
On Stanton's motion the assembly
by a viva voce vote decided to take no
action on the bills on file.
The message is as follows:
Action Of legislature reported in this
mornings papers most unfortunate in
effect upon my efforts to secure exclu-
sion Of japanese laborers by friendly
agreement, and, If continued, will prob
ably render recent legislation Of con-
gresS for that purpose ineffective.
Please secure suspension of further &C
ltion until receipt of letter from me.
Theodore Roosevelt
The action referred to by the presi-
dent was the passage of the bill linn
iting the age of children when first
entering the primary schools to 10
years, the measures prepared by the
Japanese-Korean Exclusion league sub
hitting the question of Asiatic exclu-
sion to a vote of the people, and a reso-
luton protesting against Japanese
naturalization.
The message created something of a
sensation in the lower house. Grove,
l.. Johnson arose, expressed his conf
dence in the governor n president, be-
lieved the matter should be left to
them, and moved it to be the sense of
the assembly that no action be taken
on the Japanese question at this time.
The motion was carried.

Their than an admission that the presi-
den had communicated with Governor
Gillette regarding the action Of the
California Legislature relative to the
school question no statement on the
subject was obtainable at the White
House. The letter following the presi-
dents telegram to the governor on the
subject may be given out at the White
House when 1t is received by the gov

Hartman came TO Washington and got

In the matter of criminal prosecution

Doubts regarding the kidnapping the

Washington, d. c.. March 13.-There
Is seeming no limit to the joys that
science may not yet bring to life In
this capital. Science and government
going forward, hand in hand, promise
soon to make this town the JOY mead
quarters of the world.
For DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, CHER
chemist and pure food sharp, has dis
covered that good whisky can be made
out of saw dust, and Representative
Sims, of Tennessee. is pushing the
good thing along by demanding a law
for the District of Columbia, under
which any saloon man who sells liquor
to a man until he gets drunk u pay
his family 81 a day during his period
of incapacity to work.
Sawdust whisky is going to be so
cheap that nobody al afford to stay
sober. The man who doesn't have
two sheets out will be overlooking the
fact that bounteous providence mas
showered blessings upon him, and he
paeans of praise for the services of
science. What If he loses his job and
fails to provide for his family? The
saloon man will do that.
Milking Machine.
Washington is the scientific capital
Of the new world. Uncle Sam keeps
hundreds Of scientists constantly at
work crossing honey bees with milk
weeds and potatoes with bushel bas-
kets so that the tubers may learn to
grow all ready picked and ready to be
put I'm the cellar. He has recently pro-
1uced q milking machine that makes 1t
b pleasure to OAK the fluid from bossy,
and by so doing promote the dairy IN
iustry and make milk n butter cheap
beyond the utmost dream Of poverty.
The department of agriculture is re-
ported to be well on the way toward
~snnexing an adding machine to a Ply
mouth Rock hen, SO as to give more
regularity TO her egg production.
But chief Of all the benefits is ex-
pected to flow from the sawdust whisky
discovery. The alcohol produced by
distilling sawdust, curiousiy enough, is
not wood alcohol. 1T can't be told by
taste, effects or analysis from the pro-
duct Of corn or rye. DR.. Wiley vouches
for this. Fixed up with a proper adj
mixture of water and a dash of prune
juice for coloring-Dr. Wiley has re-
peatedly explained that q large part
of the whisky of commerce Is made in
this way-it will sell over any bar to
an appreciative and cultured trade as
seven-year-old bourbon.
1t is regrettablc hat Mr.. Sims bill
to require the saloonkeepers to pay 81
a day to the dependents of incapaci-
tated drinkers has been hung up for
this session. But It's chances, Mr.. Sims
hopes are better for next session. Then
with assurance Of plenty of sawdust
whisky n a competency for his fam
lily, the Washingtonian can be eternally
happy, n sing the praises of science
without interruption.
