JUST CAUSE FOR
ANOTHER SCRAP
President Cabrera of Guate-
mala Butts in on Election of
President in Honduras.

Berlin, Sept. 24.-According to official
information received here today, Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala has notified
President Davila of Honduras that Guate-
mala will support Manuel Bonilla of Hon
duras in the latter's efforts to regain the
presidency of Honduras. This, the off
cial advices add, is taken to mean that
war between Guatemala and Honduras is
likely to begin Immediately.
Washington. Sept 24-The underlying
cause for the action of Guatemala in try
ing to influence Honduras in the selec-
ton of a president I'm the coming election,
is said to be President CabreTa's desire
to insure an ally to strengthen his posi-
ton against Mexico, which government.
he fears, is likely to pursue the effort to
secure the punishment of the Guatemalan
officials charged with participation in the
assassination of the former president.
Reports of Guatemala's activity in Hon
duran politics have FASTENED the conclu-
sion of negotiations towards the assem-
bling of the peace conference in Washing
ton next November. With the recent sig
nature of the Central American peace pro-
tOcol, both the United States and Mexico
believe the danger of an outbreak has
ties to 1t to refrain from any move that
might disturb the status quo and thus
endanger the success of the projected con-
ference, and as the officials here feel that
any attempt of Guatemala to interfere
with the internal affairs of another SOW
ereign state would be in violation of that
protocol il is not doubted here that the
movement in favor of Bonilla will be kept
within the bounds of propriety.

SHIPWRECKED
ON BLEAK ISLE
Four of the Crew of American
Bark Perish and Others En-
dure Horrible SufferingS.

New York, Sept. 24.-The story of the
wreck of the American bark Prussia, on
bleak Staten Island, Terra del Fuego,
of the crew have been landed here by the
steamer from Montevideo. Four persisted
and three are in a hospital at Puntas Are
mas. The Prussia was owned in San Fran
cisco and sailed from Norfolk, Va March
q, with cargo of coal for San Francisco.
On the night of June 10, which was stormy
and bitterly cold, while Captain Johnson
was trying to make the New Years is
land light the bark went ashore and soon
broke up. Eleven of the thirteen men in
the crew succeeded in reaching a strip
of sand, sheltered somewhat by Overhang-
ing rocks. At dawn it was discovered
that Sabata, the Japanese cook and Har-
ry Hammond, sailor, were missing. The
strip of sand was narrow and huge cliffs
barred any escape across the island.
Captain Johnson soon died of exhaus-
ton and was buried in the sand. The
survivors had few provisions and sub
sided off these. Meantime a boat was Ia
boriously built from the Wreckage. But

Mcclellan Secures Two District
Leaders Out of 35.

New York, Sept 24-The results of to-
days primaries for district leaders and
delegates to the judicial nominating con-
ventiOns leave the fractional line-ups in
the two parties practically unchanged. In
tereSt centered in the contests in the as
sembly districts of New York county.
Here there were sharp fights in several
instances between the respective follow
ers of Tammany leader Charles T. Muir
ply and Mayor George B. Mcclellan, in
the Democratic party In the Republican
party there were fewer contests, though
in several cases the district leadership
was contested. where friends of Repub-
Hcan County Chairman Parsons were in
control.
Two of Mayor McClellan's candidates.
Maurice Featherston, and Francis j.
Lantry were reelected district leaders
with many votes to spare. The reelection
of these two out of thirty-five districts
in Manhattan had been generally con-
ceded by the Murphy supporters. The Re

HEARST NOT A CANDIDATE
Does Not Want to Be Placed in a
Position Where His Sincerity
Can Be Questioned.

New York, Sept. 24-In an interview
published here, William R. Hearst takes
occasion to deny that he is a candidate
for the presidency on the Independence
League ticket, or on any other ticket.
4 cannot conceive of any conditions
under which 1 would be willing to become
a candidate he said. This determina-
ton is not because of any feeling of pique
or disappointment at the result of the
late election. 1 am well satisfied to have
the efforts of the league through the
election of others to promote the prin-
ciples 1 stand for. 1 dislike holding office
and dislike being placed in a position
where the sincerity of my principles can
be questioned through campaigning for
some office that 1 don't want and that
[ would only consent to hold through
a sense of public duty, as 1 would serve
on a Jury"

NINE CENTS A QUART.
New York Milk Concerns Announce
Rise in Price.

New York, Sept. 4.-Milk will sell in
this city at a higher price this winter
than it has commanded in a generation,
and probably, say the dealers. at the
highest price it has ever brought here.
Two of the big milk concerns already
have announced an increase in prices, one
applying to the retail trade in bottled
milk and the other to the wholesale or
can delivery
The changes will go into effect on Oct.
/. Nine cents quart will be charged for
bottled milk, instead of cents
explained as being due I'm part to an
actual shortage in the supply which has
existed for a year. The principal causes.
however. are the increased demands of
the dairy farmers and the increased cost
of bOttling and delivering.

Especial to The HeraldN

Ogden, Sept. A-The inability of the
officer, sent to Salt Lake on Monday, to
locate Mrs. Wilbur F. Hull and daughter,
the two witnesses wanted by the state
to close its case in the inquiry into the
death of Earl S. Beers, caused two post
ponements of the inquest today. The
time now set for taking further testimony
is o'clock Wednesday afternoon If at
that time the officers are unable to have
the two witnesses on hand it is likely
that County Attorney n. ]. Harris will
file charges of murder against both
Walker and Lawrence and continue the
inquest until the Hulls can be located.
Additional developments in the case to-
day were few. the most important being
the receipt of another letter from Mrs.
Walker in Los Angeles to Beers. A teIe-
gram addressed to Beers personal was
also received at the hospital from Mrs.
walker. Both of these show conclusivelv
that she was madly in love with Beers
In the letter the woman used the most
endearlng terms and pleaded for Beers to
declare his love for her
The letter was received by Mrs. Beers
who refused to divulge the contents She
SAID she destroyed it, but il is known
however, that instead of DESTROYING the
letter Mrs. Beers retained the same in
her possession.
To some of the officers Mrs. Beers
stated the letter contained the statement
from Mrs. Walker that her husband Of

In conference with the prosecuting of

was beaten up by the two of them. To
this Lawrence is said to have replied:
He's a liar. 1 helped him or Walker
