Time for Action In Central America

Washington, April 6. Secretary Root
and Mexican Ambassador Creel today
decided that the time was ripe for con-
certed action to terminate hostilities in
Central America if that result could be
accepted by moral suasion and earnest
representations; beyond which point
neither the United States or Mexico is
willing to go.
The appearance in Washington of a
minister from Salvador with large pow
ers believed to be authorized to speak
for Honduras, seemed to afford the op-
portunity for diplomatic action here.
Therefore series of conferences began
early today at the state department be-
tween these interested parties, which it
is stated by the participants probably
will lead to peaceful settlement of the
troubles, and, moreover, one that will
endure longer than the few months that
frequently marks the life of these Cen
tral American compacts.

Five men were put ashore for six
hours liberty on January 20. Two

told, Louis Ross and Harris Ross were
taken off while three other men are said
to have been deserted.
The three men were found five davs
later by fishermen, almost starved, and
taken to st. Vincent, Cape Verde Is
lands, afterward being sent to Mobile
in the British schooner Ross Lee.
The American consul at St. Vincent
reports that nine other men were land
ed at St. Vincent and deserted bv Can
tain Garcia. All reported they had been
ill-treated. The consul believes Can

account.

Roosevelt Was Her Good AnueI.

New York, April e.-President Roose-
welt is the sole beneficiary under the
will of Lulu B. Grover, of No. 2089 Lex
ington avenue, which was filed in the
office of the surrogate today. No petit
ton was filed with the will and the val
us of President Roosevelt's bequests
are therefore unknown. The main part
of the will, which is very brief, reads
as follows;
81 give to Theodore Roosevelt at my
death everything that is mine, house
hold furniture, personal property, jew
eIry, diamonds, estate, all money in
bank to my credit, and my cat, Snow
drop Low, and everything that is mine.

good angel who spread his wing of shell

my only true friend in trouble. / glad
ly give my little all to him and only wish
1t were millions instead of so small an
amount. l hope he will accept it in the
spirit l give it and with Gods bless

1t has been announced that President
Roosevelt will accept the estate be-
queathed to him and turn it over to
some New York charity. The cat is

LESLIE NJ. SHAW is AN OPTIMIsr.
ex-Secretary Argues That Recent Panic
Was Not an Unmixed EVIL.

New York, April 6.-Leslie M. Shaw.
former Secretary of the Treasury. re-
Gently spoke at the dinner of the Oswe-
go Society, at the Hotel St. Denis, in
this city. His subject was the recent
panic in Wall Street. Mr.. Shaw, who
IS now president of the Carnegie Trust
Company, was down in the Wall Street
district throughout the most violent part
of the stock slump. He said, among
other things
The recent panic-the first since
l901-was not an unmixed evil. We
have had little more freight than the
roads could satisfactorily handle: a few
more orders than the factories could fill;
little more labor than laborers; a little
more commerce than money, and this
has continued until everybody has be-
come somewhat independent, and living
expenses have advanced little too
high. Living expenses are never cheap.
except in periods of industrial stagna-
ton. There is a reasonable limit. how
ever, to all good things, and that limit
has been a little more than reached. A
slight curtailment everywhere will do
us good.
Our only danger is from unwarrant-
ed alarm. We have been running at a
breakneck pace until everybody is we'll
nigh out of breath. If we could now
slacken and nobody lie down in the road,
it would be well with US.
There is great difference between
panic and commercial and industrial
stagnation. 1t is an error to speak of
the panic of 1898 to 1897. The panic
was in 1898. The confagration which
followed the panic was of long duration.
while commerce meantime sat on the
sidewalk and the fire department dis
banded. That experience is not now to
be repeated. Every dollar of our cur
rency is now admittedly worth e5. 8
grains of gold and passes everywhere
unchallenged.
Revolutionary financial legislation is
advocated by no one, and reactionary
revenue reform is not threatened. Our
prosperity is anchored on surer foun-
dation than stock market quotations.
Our prosperity rests in our faith, and
our faith rests in the promise of God,
that while the earth remaineth, seed
time and harvest, and cold and heat.
and summer and winter, and day and
night, shall not cease We are ap-
preaching seedtime. Let the crop be
put in in great hope"

WHO LET THE CAT OUT2
Speculation Rife In Washington as to
Informant of "CabaI."

Washington, April 6.-President
Roosevelt is receiving a great many let
ters from different sections of the coun-
try regarding the combination which, it
Is asserted has been formed to defeat,
at the coming Presidential campaign,
the policies of Mr.. Roosevelt. Infor-
nation as to the identity of the writers
and the precise nature of their COM
munications is withheld, but those who
are close to the President say the dis
closures have stirred up considerable
feeling.
The location and date of the dinner,
and the personnel of the party attend
ing 1t, at which the plot is said to have
been elaborated, remain a secret so far
as any information at the White House
is vouchsafed. ''You gentlemen are all
wrong as to the details of the dinner"
is all that Secretary Loeb would tell the
newspaper men today, except to indi-
cate that the affair was of an informal
character and that the disclosures came
out in an informal manner. Senator
Labourne, of Oregon, it has been COM
monty reported, was the host at the din
ner while the guests included, among
Others, Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, and Delegate Andrews, of New
Mexico. Comment was made upon the
fact that all three of these gentlemen
were at the White House today, and
talked with tho Drae;do,+ No.. .r A.
callers would make any statement on
the subject, nor would any of them ad-
nit that his call at the White House
had any connection with the matter.
Senator Loeb said Senator Labourne
had called on the President to discuss
land office appointments which had been
hanging fire for long time.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
whose name has been freely used in
connection with the disclosures of the
alleged plot, has not communicated with
the White House, since the story be-
came public, according to Secretary
Loeb, who stated today that the only
information received there about him
has come from the newspapers. When
a report that Senator Penrose was going
to the White House to talk about the
matter with the President was called to
Secretary Loeb's attention, the latter
said
Il have made no statement about
him, and the Senator has nothing to
deny to me.'

The Thomas Halsey Fight.

Richmond, Va, April S.-Politicians
are today discussing the controversy be-
tween Senator A. f. Thomas, of Lynch
burg, and Don P. Halsey, a former SEN
ator, both of whom are candidates for
the senate from Lyncbburg and Camp
bell county. The statement was made
today that Senator Thomas voted for
Judge Mann in the last gubernatorial
contest, when there were three candi-
dates for the nomination. 1t is known
that Judge Mann has for some time
been counsel for the Norfolk & Western
Railway.
1t is being pointed out that Senator
Thomas is taking high ground against
corporation counsel being on the state
Democratic committee, when he him
self voted for Judge Mann. Senator
Thomas is also said to have voted for
Palmer and Buckner in the first gold
and silver campaign. At this time,
however, he is standing up for Bryan
and his railroad ideas.

Fatal Family Shooting Affair.

Gate City, Va, April Sat Yuma,
seven miles from here, this morning,
Enos K. Taylor, aged twenty, shot his
uncle, j. /. Langsford, through the
bowels, the ball entering at the side
and passing entirely through the body.
Langsford or one of his friends shot
Taylor through the bowels and also
through the neck.
1t is not thought possible for Taylor
to live more than few hours, and
Langsford will probably not recover.
The Langsford and Taylor families
have been in trouble for several years.
Taylor's mother is a sister to Langs-
ford. Taylor seems to have been the
aggressor, and fired twice before the
shots were returned.

New Coffee Invention.

New York, April S.-A New York
concern claims to have invented and is
now introducing to the market a new
process for grinding coffee which, if it
justifies the hopes entertained for it. is
likely to go long way in changing the
popular taste for coffee. The new
goods are known as "steel cut" coffee
and the novelty lies in machinery devel-
oped by the firm during experiments
covering the larger part of two years.
Only recently has this machinery be-
come so perfected as to be practical.
Briefly stated, the chaff which lies
around the inner coating of the coffee
bean is removed by the new appliance,
leaving only the pure clean bean to be
ground and used in drinking coffee.
Chemists find that in this chaff lies the
tartaric acid of coffee, the Objectionable
ingredients which causes the alleged
numerous unpleasant results from
drinking coffee, and has made room for
the numerous grain coffees and substi-
tutes.

POPULARITY INCREASING.
Roosevelt Not Only the Idol of the Masses
of His Party, But is Preferred by
Many Democrats to Amy Man In
Their PARTY.


New York, April 7.-On Monday last
The New York Times addressed to the
editor of 500 Republican papers letter
requesting the opinion of each as to
whether President Roosevelt is as pop
ular and as strong generally with the
voters as he was at the time of his cleo
ton.
Up to the present, sixty-eight editors
have replied. The answer of the Re-
publicans of the country, as it is conf
IDENTIFY, eagerly, and enthusiastically ex-
pressed by these editors, is one unani-
nous shout of praise for Roosevelt, but
many of them do not commit them
selves on the third-term question. 1t is
declared from every hand that he is
stronger in the affections of the people
than ever before. From Maine to
Minnesota, these men, so close to public
opinion, unite in affirming that the
President has so grown in the public
confidence and admiration since his as
sumption of the Chief Magistracy that
he is now the absolute idol of his party
and of thousands of habitual opponents
of his party. He is held to be the in
carnation of the popular instinct against
corporation privilege, the embodiment
of the square deal'' principle.
Where he has made one enemy since
the beginning of his term Of Office he
has won two friends, declare with a Gu
rious agreement in this form of eulogy
several widely separated editors. Some
note tendency to follow Roosevelt i'm
plicitly; to believe that whatever Roose-
welt believes and does is right because
Roosevelt believes and does it. Some
perceive that the first impulsive admi-
ration which was given a somewhat
spectacular martial hero has deepened
into thoughtful and earnest trust in his
conscientiousness, and on the whole his
wisdom. "a ''Never before 80 strong"
stronger than when he was over
whelmingly elected, are phrases which
scarcely one of The Times's correspon-
dents has succeeded in avoiding.
In short, there is no escaping from,
or evading, the fact that if the Repub-
lican editors of the country are judges
of the trend of opinion in their party.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the object of an admi-
ration which it would seem no other
American has ever received. So far as
they undertake to speak for Democrats,
these editors remark curious turning
toward the Republican President of the
heart of the Democratic voters, who by
the thousand, it is said, would prefer
him to any man the Democrats could
nominate out of their own ranks.

Canal Open 1915.

Colon, April John F. Stevens, for
mer chief engineer of the Panama Ca
nal, was given a splendid send-off last
night previous to his departure to-day
for the United States. Among those
present were w. G. Bierd, general man.
ager of the Panama Railroad, who act
ed as chairman; the heads of depart
ments of the Canal Commission and the
Panama Railroad Company, Jackson
Smith, who is in charge of the labor de-
partment of the canal and 1000 others.
MIR. Stevens in a speech modestly gave
John F. Wallace, whom he superseded
as chief engineer, the credit for the or
ganization of the work. This, Mr..
Stevens declared, he had modified only
when necessary. He declared the ma
chinery had been completed, homes had
been provided for $50, 600 persons; there
were railroad facilities for handling
over a million yards of earth monthly
and the organization was so advanced
that it was possible to carry on the
work in both wet and dry seasons. He
said he firmly believed the canal would
be opened in January, 1915
Mr., Stevens asked his loyal friends
not to take their complaints to Wash
ington, but to make them to Major
Goethals, the new chairman of the Ca
nal Commission for whom he solicited
the same loyalty as had been given him.
Just before sailing at noon to-day
Mr.. Stevens was presented with a two
volume testimonial signed by American
and other employees of the canal ex-
pressing their loyalty to him. The en-
ployees also subscribed for three gifts
intended to be handed down by Mr..
Stevens to his three sons.

SEVERE ACCIDENT
TO LITTLE BOY
William GreeYer, The Ten Year Old Son
OF DR.. c. W. GrseYer, Receives
Severe Injuries by Explosion
ACetylele Gas Receiver

On last Saturday afternoon one of the
saddest accidents that has ever occur
red in this place happened to William
Greever, the little son of DR.. c. w.
Greever. His brother, DR.. Carl Gree
yer, has for some time been working on
some inventions that he is trying to
perfect on acetylene gas machinery.
For that purpose he had placed gener-
ator and receiver in the basement under
his fathers office at the east end of
Main street. While he was at work in
the room where the generator and re-
ceiver had been placed his brother, Will
liam, came in. Doctor Carl was busily
occupied with his work and his little
brother went to the receiver and
while he was bending over it, there was
a sudden explosion. The bell or crown
of the receiver was blown off and struck
William with such force as to wound
him dreadfully and render him for a
time unconscious. Several of the ply
slcians of the town were Immediately
sent for and the little fellow was car
ried to the sanitorium of DR.. R. B. Gil
lespie, where his injuries were examin-
ed and given the proper surgical atten-
ton by Drs. Gillespie and Crockett.
They found the right eyeball destroy
ed, long and deep flesh wound below
the left eye and down right side of the
nose, a fracture of frontal bone into
frontal sinus, and an ugly scalp wound
across the forehead. There were no
injuries to his body or limbs. The eye
ball was removed, the fractured bone
lifted and the other wounds carefully
brought together.
AT first it was unsettled as to whether
the left eye had escaped injury and
would leave the unfortunate little fell
low with sight in that eye; but from an
examination made on Monday the ply
sicians believe he will not lose the sight
of that eye.
Immediately after the proper surgi-
cal attention had been given the little
boy was taken to the residence of his
father, where he is resting as we'll and
progressing as favorably as could be
expected.

FivJ laps Excluded by Order of the
Secretary.

Washington, April 6.-Secretary
Straus, of the department of commerce
and labor, today denied admission to this
country of five Japanese immigrants,
namely Hismatsu Takemoto, Otokiro
Hatakeyma, Mauskichi Yamado, Keno
suke Sadakami, and Kanekichi. These
are the first Japanese exclusion cases
which have reached the secretary since
the PRONUNCIATION of the executive order
carrying into effect the new immigra-
ton law.
Secretary Straus' action was based
upon an appeal taken by the Japanese
from decision of the Inspector at Ell
Paso, Texas, denying them the right to
enter the country on passports from
Mexico.
