FRESH FIGHTING
AMONG FACTIONS
TROOPS OF HoNDURAN REBELS
ATTACK EACH OTHER.
SEVEN i PERSONS KILLED
Trouble Brought About by the Unusu
II Hird of Government Which the
Leaders Tried-DaViIa becomes
President with FactionIsts HoIolhs
Ministerial Offices.

Perto Cortez, Honduras, April 70,
via New Orleans, April 3O.-Fresh
lighting has occurred in Honduras,
the latest being a battle in the streets
of tba CAPITAL city between factions or
the victorious Honduran rebels VINO
weeks ago helped Nicaragua over
throw the government. The hghung
WAS brought on because of the unuS-
nal kind of government which tbe
leaders had tried. Three Of these
leaders RogaIes, BustiIlO and Casrto
agree to take turns as president,
each serving Is days. 1t developed,
however, that each during MS term
attempted to strengthen his party by
dividing the patronage where it would
do him most good. Finally friends OF
RopilIa proclaimed BustillO the pro
vfsfoDaI president without any Is day
clause, and the opposing factions did
the same for ROsales. Then the fight
ing began.
Troops of both sides occupied uni
versity place adjoining the palace and
attacked each other Seven persons
were killed. General Davila, now
provisional president, rushed among
the combatants and persuaded their
leaders to stop fighting.
Later another battle was started
near town but this time the Nicara-
guam invaders marched up and liter
ally arrested all troops of both fac
tions. This effectively stopped the
fighting. Later DaViIa became pres
ident with faction leaders holding the
ministerial offices.
The Nicaraguans continue to po-
lice the capital. + President Zelaya
withdraws his forces from Honduras,
the strongest faction will take posses
sion and proclaim a president Of its
choice. These same conditions may
make it necessary for the American
gunboats to continue indefinitely their
protection over foreign interests. AL
ready forced loans in Tegucigalpa and
the infusion of paper money in the
currency have about paralyzed. the
commerce Of that city and Of CANA
yaqua. These conditions would like
ly extend to the coast towns within 48
hours after departure of the American
bIuejaCkets.
May Suspend Relations.
Washington, April 30.-MeXican
Ambassador Creel last night said that
unless Guatemala honors MeXico's
request for the extradition of General
Lima, diplomatic relations between
the two countries will be suspended.
He expressed the hope that the
trouble may be satisfactorily adjust
ed without resorting to force. No
advices were received at the Guate-
maIan legation yesterday.

HERE'S TO TOM WATSON.

Tom Watson, about year ago, in
conjunction with Col Mann, the fam
Gus Town Topics publisher, launched
virile and vigorous magazine, known
as Tom Watson's Magazine. The
union between Watson and Mann did
not last long. Trouble soon began to
brew, which terminated in an eruption
and Tom Watson withdrew. Col. Mann
and subordinate associate make Wig
orous effort to continue the publica-
tiOn of Tom Watson's Magazine. The
effort, however, seems to have failed,
as Tom Watson's Magazine is not MAX
ing it's appearance, since Toms with
drawal This is a marked tribute to
the vigor and intellectual vitality Of
Tom Watson. It is evidence that Tom
Watson was the life and sou and
spirit Of Tom WatsOn's Magazine, for
when he withdrew the Magazine died.
This is the best proof that Watson
was the life and soul of the New
York publication. The friends Of Tom
Watson and of reform regretted the
short and untimely career of Tom
Watson's Magazine. All earnest, sin
sere men recognized Tom Wat
sons Magazine, as publication of
unusual vigor and ability, and
marked addition to the reform litera-
ture of the times. This regret, how
ever, has turned into joy, by the an
nouncement and the subsequent publi-
cation of weekly paper and month
ly periodical. These publications,
know as Watson's Jeffersonian and
Watson's Jeffersonian Magazine, are
up to the high standard for which Mr..
Watson is noted. Both publications
are a distinct contribution to the re-
form cause, and the sincere wish of

WANTS NATION TO OWN RAIL.
ROADS,

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Pat
terson, of Colorado, addressing the
senate today, made plea for govern
ment ownership of railroads. He pre-
dicted that such a condition would be
brought about within the lifetime Of
the present members Of the senate,
but did not anticipate any speedy ac-
tion In that direction.
The railroads, he declared, are grow
ing more arrogant each year and as he
saw little or no relief in the new rate
law, government control of the roads
would supply the only remedy. To
show the value of his idea. Mr.. Pat
terson presented figures from fifty
nine countries showing the presence
Of government ownership in some
form, and he saw steadily increas-
ing sentiment in that direction so far
as the United States is concerned.
American roads are valued at be-
tween eleven and twelve billion dol
lars. They could be obtained by con-
demnation proceedings, the financial
end being covered by mortgage back
ed by the governments guarantee.
Mr.. Patterson ridiculed the idea that
vast political machine would be built
up through federal operation of roads.
AS a matter of fact, he declared, rail-
road politics would be abolished.
Among the benefits to be gained
through ownership Mr.. Patterson men,
toned extension of the postal system,
a postal express and equitable rates.

ARE THE RAILROADS BEING
PERSECUTED?

The railroads are being prosecuted,
according to William H. Truesdale,
president of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western. Everybody's hand is
raised against them these days, it
seems. There exists" he says, "a
universal and pronounced feeling of
hostility toward these corporations
and their management which is find
ing expression in many states in rad
ical and severely restrictive legisla-
tion" Most Of this hostility is due
to unreasonable prejudice" arising
from exaggerated and distorted"
statements regarding such small faults
as the corporations may possibly have
been guilty Of Incidentally Mr..
Truesdale remarks:
Railroads are the greatest factors
in the upbuilding Of the nation. They
are an integral part Of our daily life,
the foundation of our commercial pros
perity. They are held to be no longer
private property, but part Of the pub
lie service"
They never were private property.
From the beginning they have been
in the eye of the law "a part of the
public service"-a function of govern
ment delegated to the operating cor
porations.
In this fact Mr.. Truesdale should
find the cause of the hostility of which
he complains. That hostility is not
against railroads, but against their
management as strictly private enter
prises, run exclusively for profit and in
entire Indifference to the public well
fare.
There is hostility against discrim-
ination in freight charges, against
systematic and persistent defiance of
law, against the employment of rail
roads to- build up the trusts and ex-
tinguish the small shipper.
Take Mr. Truesdales own company
1t suffered a very complete exposure
In the proceedings brought by William
Randolph Hearst before the interstate
commerce commission. The Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western is one of the
railroads composing the coal trust.
These corporations forget altogether
that they are common carriers. BY
Withholding cars from mining compan-
les outside the trust, and using the dis
eliminating rate, they have expelled
real independent operators from the
anthracite field They engage in min
ing in contempt Of law. In contempt
of law, also, they combine to fix
the output and the price Of coal. They
monopolize a necessary Of life, and
periodically engage in private war
with their miners for the purpose Of
rendering labor helpless by depriv-
ing it of the right to organize in self
defense.
Why should there not be hostility
against the kind Of railroad manage
ment which Mr.. Truesdale and his

Heroic Act Of Capt. {. B.
Dudley Yesterday At.
tGrnOOn
RESCUED LITTLE STEVE HORAN
Who Fell from the Steamer Egmont
When She Was Crossing the
Sound While En- Route to
St. Simon.

By heroie piece of work on re
mart of Capt e. B. Dudley yesterday
afternoon. the life of little ten-year
old Steve Horan, son of P. Horan, the
well known saloonist, was saved.
1t was not the mere every day res
cue or warning OF danger, pulling enc
from in front of a train or the like,
but something that the average man,
NJ matter how brave he may pc,
will not do-plunge into st. Sio.nn
sound to save the life of a person
But Capt Dudley did it yesterday af-
ternoon and instead of being vic
tim OF old Neptune, little Steve is
as happy as usual on st. Simon.
Capt Dudley went over to st. ST
mon yesterday afternoon on the steam
ef Egmont, which was running in the
place of the Dorothy, as purser. and
among the passengers was the little
Horan boy. When at a point almost
il the middle of st. Simon sound,
quite a distance off Jekyl point Capt
Dudley saw the little fellow strug-
Cling in the water Not a person On
the boat had seen the boy when he
went overheard and no alarm at an
was given, but Capt Dudley luckily
observed the youngsteT struggling in
the water and, in a second, he was
overheard, with all Of his clothes On.
Passengers on board feared that Dolh
the boy and the Captain who had
gene to his rescue would be drown
ed. The signal was given and the
Egmont came about as quickly ps
possible
In the meantime however Capt
Dudley had reached Steve, who was
swimming along and managing to
keep on top of the water. AS soon
as he reached the boy Capt. Dudley
took hold of him and both of them
iioated comfortably until the Egmont
returned and picked them I'D ana
further than rather cold bath. ne tn
er Of them were injured in the least.
Little Steve was asked how ne
came to fall overheard, as soon as
he was again safely aboard the Eg.
mont but he was unable to give an
account of it. and didn't know how be
fell in. He said the first thing he
knew was when he went down with
a splash, and he Immediately put lis
arms and legs in motion and wa
swimming when Capt Dudley obs sr-
we'd him from the stern Of the boat
L is fortunate that the little fellow
could swim. although Capt. Dudley
was so quick that he may have been
able to have reached him anyway
before he could have drowned.
Passengers and others on the boat
were high in their praise Of the hero
ic work of Capt Dudley, who made
such a dangerous plunge in his effort
to save the little boy who woula
have found watery grave but for
his conduct.
This is the second time that Capt.
Dudley has made such a rescue. A
few years ago he saved the life CT
e. passenger in a similar way and is
now wearing handsome watch as
token OF esteem given him by the
party whom he saved.
