AMERICA WILL
NOT INTERFERE

WASHINGTON, D. C., March o.
Mexico and the United States are using
their kindly offices in an attempt to
effect settlement of the trouble
which threatens to involve all five OF
the Central American republics in war.
Mr. Creel. the Mexican ambassador
had long conference with Secretary
Root to-day, and Mr.. Corea, the Mica
raguan minister, and Mr.. Calvo. the
Costa Rican minister, also called at
the State Department, but there We're
no late advices, and no new develop
ments IN the situation to-day.
The impression is still general in
diplomatic circles that Salvador, Qua
temala and Costa Rica are about to
thrown their support to Honduras In
an attempt to crush Nicaragua and
humble President Sclaya. 1t can be
stated positively that there is no
thought of intervention on the part of
the United States. and Mexico is be-
lleved to he unwilling TO intervene.
Although strong efforts are being
made for an arbitration of the griev-
ances which threaten to result so dis
astrously, the opinion prevails In
WASHINGTON that the five republics
will all become involved In actual war.

Lorenzo Aquilano, who has been held in the police station the past few days oh suspicion of being the murderer of Rocco Elanss '. body was found in the brush near Highland avenue over 8 week ago, was to-day released on the finding of Coroner Eli Mix.
 In the city court this morning At torney Guilfoile appeared to defend Aquilano, but at the suggestion of Prosecuting Attorney c. E. Meigs the case was put back another day for the convenience of the coroner. Be- fore court was over, however, Prose- cutor Meigs had telephoned the cor oner about the matter and the cor oner answered that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant hold ing the man for trial. Accordingly the case was nolled and Aquilano was released. Outside the police station he was met by his wife and children and host of friends, who kissed and embraced him with such yigor and indifference to the public that there was no thoroughfare there for some time.

.SALOONFORTOWNPLOT
Residents Worrying Over Stories
 Going About.

There was not much said about the trolley on Town Plot yesterday
 and it is doubtful if the subject was
 mentioned to-day. The people have other fish to fry just now and wheth. CT 1t is false alarm or not, they are very much worried over 1t. It is un- derstood that the owner of a build Ing in the vicinity of Clark street and Washington avenue is about to apply for a license to sell liquor, and while there is nothing really certain about 1t yet, the thing has bothered the neighbors so that some of them have not closed an eye since they heard 1t. It is a very nice residence dis trict and it was expected to be more so after they got the trolley, but now they don't know what to say. T suppose" said one of the old settlers to reporter, we're foolish to take this thing too seriously, for l don't suppose the commissioners would grant license there in opposition to such an emphatic protest as would be made against it. For my own part I'm not opposed to a saloon in a proper place and under suitable management, but purely residence neighborhood like that is no place for the business. I'm not worried over this as much as some of my neighbors are, because I feel that the danger from this source is very remote, but after all in case what we have heard Is true 1t shows what we are coming to and that no matter what part of the town a man builds in he doesn't know when something will happen that would make him wish he never invested a dollar in the place. But l don't believe we will have saloon up there very soon. I'm not a total abstinence crank, but I don't care for a cafe too near the house where my family live and where I call home."

WORKED HIS OWN REDEMPTION.
Future Held Greatness for Young Man 1 of Character.

A New York judge gave his son a thousand dollars, telling him to go to
 college and graduate. The son re-
 turned at the end of freshman year without a dollar and with several ugly
 habits. At the close of the vacation
 the judge told his son that he had
 done all he could for him. If he had wasted the money that was to have taken him through college, he might as
 well leave home and make his own
 way in the world. It was a rude awak- ,ening for the young man, but he knew that his father was. right. And so strong was the good influence of his
 upright father that he did leave home to go to work in downright earnest.
 He went back to college, made his way through. graduated at the head of his class. studied law, became gover. nor of the state of New York, entered the cabinet of the president of the
 United States and made record for himself. It was William H. Seward.

BUSY MOVING FREIGHT
Superintendent Dunn and Agent White Were Busy Yesterday.

l Yesterday was another busy day al the freight house and more cars were unloaded than on any other day since I .ne strike started. Assistant Super intendent Dunn and Agent White were at the house all day and the gangs were kept on the jump. Con- sequently the houses this morning we've piled almost to the roof. Ex- pressmen and teamsters were having 2 hard time endeavoring to find their goods.
 Three or four of the factories had men at the stations to-day to look after their freight.
 One of the checkers and about five of the freight handlers got through Saturday. A new checker wds at the Naugatuck station this morning and two new delivery men. One of the men who was handling a truck is at the Waterbury, hospital since Friday as the result of allowing a heavy box to fall on his leg.
 M. J. Leary, who was not seen at the houses last week was again in town to-day. There are now 43 truckers at the Naugatuck station, more than double the number before the strike started
 Judge L. F. Burpee to-day re- ceived from the railroad company a reply to his letter sent few days ago regarding conditions consequent upon the strike which might injure hA Ix., T. According to the answer of the rail- road officials they intend td prosecute a speed termination of the strike. They said they intend to send here Michael Leary, formerly freight agent at the Highland division aud to open another freight office if it is found necessary. They expect, ac- cording to the letter. to be able to get a full complement of freight cars moving early this week.
