HARRISON NOT AN APPLICANT
Lincoln Man surprised by Statement
that He is TO Have Consular
Post.
lFrom a star Correspondent.l }

LINCOLN, March 17.-(Special Telegram)
The kilograms i'm the morning papers that
Frank Harrison is slated for a consular
position in Central America we're sur
prise to Mr.. Harrison, who said he knew
nothing of even being mentioned for such
a position. Last year he was offered a
position as receiver of the land office at
either Valentine or ONeill, but as the
offer was endorsed by Senator Millard,
Harrison turned it down. Regarding the
consular appointment he said:
Il am not an applicant for a consular po-
sition in Central America or any other
place, so this dispatch is a surprise to me.
l do not think The Bee correspondent Is
correct in saying l am on the eligible"
list, as consular positions are now filled by
applicants who have passed examinations.
1 have taken no examination and have not
applied for one.
From my experience in Central America
I believe that anyone would be foolish to
apply for a place there without knowing
which place was to be vacant Many OF
the consular cities are unhealthy and un-
desirable, while the few desirable loca-
tions will probably be filled by promotionS'

Trial of Woman and
AccOmplices.

ROME March IT. Especially - After a
hearing lasting for several weeks the ia
nous case OF Filomena Stoppato. who posed
as niece of Cardinal Rampolla and de-
frauded various people out of large sums
OF money, has reached an end. Although
the little army OF lawyers tried to give the
AFFAIR the Importance Of a Humbert case
the crowds who thronged the courts every
day were disappointed. as the judges were
inclined to soften down any and all at
tempts to attack the Vatican and the
church.
Nevertheless the pope has ordered a
stringent inquiry to be made, as during the
trial II appeared that Filomena Stoppato,
alias MRrchioness Venizia, had acted as
kind OF go between for the proprietor
OF the well known church at Vale de
Pompeii, where miracles are supposed to
have taken place and certain friars who
were represented as being anxious 10 obtain
the administration OF this valuable prop
erty. His holiness sent to Vale de Pompeii
his almoner, Mgr. Sill, whose brother is an
Italian deputy.
The public at the trial was also disap-
| pointed because the judges refused TO order
Cardinal Rampolla to appear as a witness.
F1lomena was sentenced TO twenty-five
months imprisonment, the priest, Ferretti.
| her partner, to nine months, and the Do
minican frtar, Ciarachi. her lover, to eight
months. The latter was liberated. as he

In the Lincoln Star OF Saturday afternoon
was published a tabulated statement. pur-
porting to show the values Of railroad
property I'm the different towns and how
much would go to the assessment roll under
TERMINAL taxation. This showing lie mis-
leading, for the figures were furnished by
the railroads, and are the railroad valua-
tions OF the property. II the several rail-
roads OF the state are to be allowed to
make their own assessm. nL then the figures
Will stand. But the supreme court has de-
cided that the assessment Is made by the
state authorities, and not by the railroads.
This was the crux OF the case Just settled
by the supreme court Of the United States,
after going through the courts below for
three years The terminal property Will be
valued for purposes Of taxation by the
state authorities, and not by the railroads.
This means that the figures In the Star are
worthless showing the true condition.
Members of the legislature should bear this
In mind when discussing terminal taxation.
1t is the state board. and not the railroad
tax agents, who make up the assessment

MULE THE CAUSE OF WAR
Origin of Dispute Between Honduras
ana NIearasua -SsAtch Resulted
in HostiIities.

WASHINGTON, March H-One mule-a
mule belonging 20 Senior Irenio Saldago-
was the chief object of dispute between
Nicaragua and Honduras when they began
! the quarrel which finally ended in the war
that is threatening the peace of all Central
America, according to the official communi-
cations exchanged by the ministers of for
eign affairs of the two republics, copies Of
which communications have been received
In Washington.
| The controversy began when senior AEusto
| &. COollo, the HOnduran minister for for
| eign AFFAIRS wrote a note to Senior Jose d.
! Gomez, the Nicaraguan minister for foreign
] AFFAIRS on January Is, protesting against
! the theft of a mule from Irenio Salgado by
thirty-hve Nicaraguan cavalrymen, who
were charged with entering Honduran ter
ritory.
| In reply Senior Gomez said the Nicarag-
uans did not quite enter Honduras although
/ they passed near to the little town of Los
Manos in that republic. The taking of the
mule was not denied, but Senior Gomez in
| sisted in his letter that Salgado was not a
/ Honduran citizen, but a Nicaraguan who
had to leave that country because of the
part he played in a revolution two years
| before. Consequently Nicaragua main
/ tained that Honduras had no right TO fly
to the defense Of Salgado's mule.
This note brought a spirited reply from
Honduras the minister for foreign affairs
| announcing that Irenio SalRado was in
Tegucigalpa, happily engaged in trade
there while a man by the same name, a
most reputable and respected farmer. a
| Honduran of unquestioned citizenship, lived
at Los Manos and owned the much mooted
mule.
/ Nicaragua replied that 1t was true that
Colonel Juan Rocha, who commanded a
party of cavalry, took mule near Los
Manos, but reiterated that the animal was
taken in Honduran territory. Dispatches
grew longer as the controversy wa4ed
warmer. Other questions arose. Then the
arbitration tribunal was opened and finally
the break came when President zelaya OF
| Nicaragua withdrew his member of the
board of arbitration and war between Hon.
duras and Nicaragua began.

Der Of John D. Rockefeller's, Jr.. Bible class.

II will amount to at least S5OOOO,OOO It will

The Herald adds:
This man said that when Mr.. Rockefeller

diate gift, but was on the subject Of Mr..

his son and his lawyers. It was said that
this document will astonish the world when
II is made public. II will, II is declared,
donate no less than $3.50, 1000 for charitable
and educational purposes, and II will be
so bestowed that the benefit therefrom
will almost be perpetual
The manner IN which these bequests will
be bestowed is said to be mainly educational
and charitable. While there are some con-
tributicns for religious purposes, It is stated
that Mr.. Rockefeller does not think II
necessary 20 extend any great financial aid
10 churches. He thinks the churches are
! growing steadily stronger and there is nc
danger that they will ever need any great
financial assistance from one man.
/ Mr.. Rockefeller, however is said to b,
much in favor OF the growth Of education
/ and 70 the furtherance Of this end he hai
/ done much I'm his will. He believes that
education will make this country the great

poor, such as have been erected In SOM

In his will. the Heralds informant states
Mr.. Rockefeller has provided these thre
I things-bequests for religious purposes

for education and what are described a

Takes PROFITS Both Ways
During Panic.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Edward H. Har-
rimRn today looms out of the ashes Of
Thursdays financial crash in Wall street
with an estimated personal profit of from
S1B 10000 to S20OOO,OOO on the decline OF
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific stock
and a firmer clutch than ever upon the
stock OF these railroads.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, with
the entire Hartman stock list still are
climbing, and the Hartman interests are
taking down profit both ways, on the rise
as we'll as on the decline. That Mr.. Har-
riman either had lost control or was about
to lose control OF his railroad systems is
vigorously denied in every quarter of the
street.
A representative of Kuhn. Loeb & Co..
Mr.. Harriman's bankers, said today:
"T'he report that Mr.. Hartman was
forced to sell 10000 shares OF Union Pacific
at III is rot That he could have got 120
I'm open market at any time on Thursday

ably owns and controls more Union Pacific
stock at the present time than he ever did,
You can bank on this statement"
Here is the account given by trust
worthy authority OF how Mr.. Hartman has
been winner rather than a loser in the
recent panic:
"wan street knows that big financiers
like Hartman trade entirely upon margins,
and they are never in the slightest danger
Of loss He covered at an average OF 1855,
and this drop Of 40 points in Union Pacific
alone netted him N2OOO,OOO, less brokers'
commissions, In Southern Pacific Mr. Har-
riman Is understood 10 have traded in
more than 10000 shares, which he sold
from s5 down to 70. bringing him a profit
of SbOOaOOO.
