Patients in Home for Nervous People
Terrorized by Night Visit.

Chicago, Ill.-Three armed and
masked men, at 8 o'clock Friday morn
ing, drove up to the North Shore
health resort of Winetka, 16 miles
north of Chicago on Lake Michigan, a
sanitarium of fashion for the treat
ment of nervous disorders, and ran
sacked the entire place, throwing the
81 patients into a state of terror, and
leaving some in a critical condition.
The men walked through every cor
ridor in the place, forcing nurses to
accompany them and show them
where patients clothes were kept in
their rooms. Patients awakening in
terror and beginning to scream, were
forced into quietude at the point of
revolvers.
Everybody, every room, every bu-
eau and every desk in the institution
was searched. The bandits secured
over $4,000 in money and Jewels.
Much valuable clothing was carried
away.

TROOPS TAKE TO THE SHIPS
American Leader of Revolution Is
Among Those Who Are
Captured.

San Salvador.-A force of Nicara-
guans landed at Acajutla, and
at once made their way to the town
of %Sonsonata, where they p~lundered
the custom house and stole $4,000
from the local agency of the Bank OF
Salvador. S~alvadorean troops tnen
appeared and defeated the invaders,
who fled precipitately back to AGA
Julia, where they re-embarked upon
some vessels flying the Nicaraguan
flag, and made their way out of the
harbor.
The battle was fought near the town
OF Sonsonata, which is we'll garri-
soned, and is about twelve miles from
Acajutla, on the Salvadorean railroad,
which connects the ports of AcaJutla
with the capital of the republic, AS
soon as the invading force entered the
harbor they easily took possession Of
the town, which was poorly defended.
They then seized a train and swiftly
moved on to Sonsonata.
odtNduOT WOpliIZCS ARMY
Meanwhile President Figueroa had
heard of the capture Of the town and
ordered al immediate mobilization of
the Salvadorean army. A number Of
troops were rushed by the train from
the capital to S~onsonata. During the
night the invaders surrounded the
town, attacking this morning with the
result above stated.
An intimate friend of President Fig
ueroa declares that while this latest
movement has been checked it has
not been crushed, for every one in the
country realizes it is but the fore
runner of a well-thought-out plan, the
ultimate aim of which is the seating
in the presidential chair of a man of
President Zelaya's choice. Within a
few days, 1t is believed, President
Figueroa will have to divide his forces
in three bodies.
Americans Fight for ZeIaya.
In General Sierra's army are two
young Americans, aged respectively
% and 26. They are from New Or
leans, and are paid by Zelaya, @ho
has made them colonies, commanding
two respective regiments of this ex-
petition. One of the men is said to
have attended West Point.

HEAD OF THE HAGUE CONFER.
ENcE TAKES A PEssl-
MYSTIC VIEW.
HAS HOPE FOR ARBITRATION
The Dutch Government is Doing All
Possible to Promote Success
Carnegie and Roose-
welt Cheered.

The Hague-M. Nelidoff opened the
peace conference by affirming that uni
versal peace and disarmament was un-
attainable.
The deliberate utterances Of the Rus
sian statesman, although pessimistic
to the extent referred to, were hope
full later, when he said he believed that
a better method for the judicial adjust
ment of disputes was possible, even
though all conflicts between nations
were no more avoidable than conflicts
between individuals.
In the course of his address, M. Mel
idoff greatly pleased the American
delegates by the high tributes which
he paid to President Roosevelt and
Andrew Carnegie, not mentioning any
other countries or rulers.
The reference to President Roose-
welt in the speeches of both DR.. Van
Tets van Gourdain, the Netherlands
foreign minister, and M. Nelidoff were
greeted with rounds Of applause.
Conference in Session 20 Minutes.
The whole ceremony lasted hardly
20 minutes, when the conference ao-
iourned.
Tea was served in the main hall and
the committee rooms after the ad-
journment.
A drizzling, overcoat day did not
prevent the government of ehe Neither
lands from trying to give the city a
gala appearance.
The red, white and blue flag of Hol-
land, side by side with the orange
standard Of the republic of Nassau,
was hoisted over every public build
ing and many private residences flew
the national colors.
Fortunately the clouds began to
break toward noon and people gath
cred to witness the arrival Of the dis
tinguished foreigners.
AS upon the occasion of the first
conference, the government of the
Netherlands, in order to lay stress
upon the peaceful character and OBJ
jects of the conference, especially re-
quested the delegates and military and
naval attaches not to appear in uni
form or wear any insignia of their
rank.
Much surprise at the fact that Ger.
many and Australia have representa-
tives on the secretariare at the peace
conference. This state of affairs is at
tributed at an alleged agreement be-
tween the three powers to adopt a
passive attitude keeping themselves
apart from the intimate work Of the
conference.

FIGHTS 2-CENT Law
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
AGAINST MISSOURI ROADS.
2S SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED
Attorneys for illinois Roads Meet to
Consider Means of Attack
ing the Law.

Kansas City, Mo.-The railroads
were taken by surprise Thursday
when the attorney general filed
26 suits in the state circuit court
and received orders restraining the
railroads from keeping the old passen-
ger fare of three cents a mile and the
old freight rates in effect. The suits
were filed against 10 roads here and
16 suits of similar nature were filed in
st. Louis against eight roads.
The conflict of state and federal
courts was mentioned by Judge Nc
Pherson, who said such a condition
would be avoided, if possible, but that
the governments jurisdiction would
not be allowed to be superseded. AS
the railroad attorneys wanted time to
consider the states move, adjourn
ment was taken until afternoon, when
the time for arguing the different or
ders will be set.

ROOSEVELT, HUGHES AND MOSES
Massachusetts, Bishop Finds a Resem.
blance in the Three.

Ithaca, New York-Rt. Reverend
William Lawrence, the Protestant
episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, de-
livered the baccalaureate sermon at
Cornell. Bishop Lawrence drew his
text from the life Of Moses. He de-
nounced the theologians who rush to
arms to attack scientific discoveries
and the biblical criticism which
seemed to ~jeopardize the Scriptures.
He declared this attitude shows a
fundamental lack of faith in Gods
trust. Bisnop Lawrence said that Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Gov. Hughes re-
semblet, Moses in that they have be-
come successful leaders by sheer force
Of character against seemingly in
superable obstacles.

Josseas TROUBLES.
The New Law Will Worry Dealers in
Food and Drugs

Washington, D. C.-Trouble is
brewing for joboers and wholesale
dealers of food and drug products un-
der the construction placed upon the
pure food and drugs act by the depart
ment of agriculture. Under the law,
the manufacturer of a particular line
of food or drug products may obtain
from the department a guaranty of the
purity or wholesomeness Of products.
To the manufacturer whose products
have been passed upon by officials of
the department of agriculture, a serial
number is issued as an identification
of the products inspected and found
to be manufactured and labeled in ac-
Gently it was supposed that this guar
anty would hold good throughout the
distribution and sale of the products,
but the department of agriculture
holds that it does not.
The new law requires that the guar.
anty shall be from the person who
sold the goods to the person charged
with the oIfense. Thus If A & Co. sell
to B & Co. and give a guaranty, the
formers guaranty is not a valid de-
tense for c & Co. against any action
under the food and drugs act, as the
last named purchased the goods from
B and Co. 1t is the intention of the
agricultural department soon to issue
a regulation regarding this matter,
which probable will create wide inter
est among jobbers and wholesale deal
ers all over the country. 1t will be
necessary for them, in order fully to
protect their interests, to insist upon
direct guarantees from all those from
whom they purchase food and drug
products.

Illinois Roads to Attack 2-cent Law.
Chicago, III. A special meeting
of the attorneys for the Illinois rail-
roads has been called to consider the
possibility of attacking the 2-cent pas
senger rate law in the courts. It be-
comes operative July 1, and injunction
proceedings will be the method of at
tack if it be decided practicable.
Missouri has set the precedent in a
plea by the railroads for a permanent
injunction against the enforcement of
the 2-cent law and the maximum
freight law.
Proceedings have been begun also
in Minnesota, where a 2-cent law is in
effect, and tentative plans for action
have been made by the railroads in
Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas.
