FOUR GOVERNMENTS ACTING IN
UNISON TO SETTLE CENTRAL
AMERICAN TROUBLE.
QUESTION OF PRIDE is UpPERMOsT
COUNTRIES INVOLVED BELIEVE
WAR ALONE CAN SATISFY
DEMANDS OF HONOR.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Costa Rica
and Salvador have joined their efforts
> those of the United States and
Mexico to prevent war In Central
America as the result of the present
friction between Honduras and Mic
| aragua. Senor Calvo, the minister to
Washington from Costa Rica, had a
conference with state department off,
cials relative to the subject and was
able to assure them that his govern
| ment, after communicating with that
Of Salvador, had undertaken to inter-
vene to the extent of making repre-
sentations to the opposing govern
ments calculated to induce them to re-
| frain from hostilities.
1t appears that the question Of ma
tional pride is large factor In the
problem. Each side feels that In view
of the bloodshed that has taken place
| on the borders only war can satisfy
the demands of honor 1t Is the pur-
pose of the four governments that are
now acting in conjunction In the in
terest of peace to convince the would
be belligerents that their honor would
not be aspersed by submitting their
differences to peaceful adjudication.
Honduras has accepted this view and
1t now remains only for Nicaragua to
yield to this influence.
Later Minister Corea, representing
Nicaragua, called at the state depart
ment and had a long interview re-
specting the situation with Assistant
Secretary Bacon, whom Secretary
Root had charged to represent him in
the matter. Senor Corea had no d.
rect advices from his own government
and was in search of information.
However. he did not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that hostilities
would be averted and that upon re-
Election both sides to the present con-
troversy would consent to submit their
differences to treatment in the or
binary diplomatic method.

PUT TRUST IN ROOSEVELT
JAPANESE SHOW CONTEMPT FOR
VIEWS OF AMERICAN PRESS
ON PRESENT SITUATION.

Toxic, Feb. lin discussing the
anti-Japanese feeling expressed by a
portion of the American press all
classes whose opinion Is worthy OF
consideration are significantly re-
served. The two prevailing sentiments
noticeable are a strong disdain and
contempt for the papers in America
which entertain the idea of war be-
tween Japan and the United States
and implicit confidence in President
Roosevelt, who is regarded as the
true type American.
People are inclined to smile with
satisfaction at the Outburst OF what
appears to them as ridiculous agi-
tation and at the barbarity practiced
toward innocent children in Chris
tian land which had been classed by
missionaries and others as country
which possessed the only true religion
and the only true God.
The Japanese have no doubt been
smarting under the assumed superior
ity Of Christian nations and now find
such an occurrence amid Christian
civilization which serves, In their
Judgment, as the confession of an in
feriority, moral and otherwise.
Moreover, the successful war with
Russia has inspired the Japanese with
great confidence and although the pos
sibility Of q war with the United
States Is not now generally enter.
tanned it may not be amiss to point
out that some are inclined to regard
as significant Secretary Taft's dec
laration in regard to fortifying the Ha-
waiian islands.

DOCUMENT OFFERED BY DEFEND.
ANTS ATTORNEYS SAID TO
BE REMARKABLE ONE.
SEVERAL QUEER PROVISIONS MADE
ONE SETS ASIDE $4,000 FOR CARE
OF WOMEN WHO SUFFERED
AT WHITES HANDS.

New York, Feb. lit is expected
that Mr.. Delmas, of counsel for Thaw,
will make vigorous effort when court
reconvenes to introduce Thaw's will
In evidence. 1t Is said to be remark
able document and is believed to be
strongly relied upon by Mr.. Delmas
TO show the effect upon Thaw of the
stories related to him by Evelyn Mes
bit. 1t Is said to have been written
On loose sheets of paper, partly type
written and partly in handwriting,
with many interlineations.
According to report the will Is ex-
pected to show that Thaw feared as
sassination and 1t is stated that in 1t
he ordered that the sum of $4,000 be
devoted to the prosecution of his as
sassin, or the investigation OF his an
ticipated assassin.
Another provision Is one setting
aside fund Of SIS 5000 for the care of
women whom he believed to have suf-
fered through Stanford White. The
names of the women whom Thaw be-
lieved to have suffered are reported to
be given in the will 1t Is also report
ed that the will contains a provision
for tho education of Howard Nesbit,
Mrs. Thaw's brother, and that an al
lowance was made for the care OF
Evelyn's mother during her life. The
income from the remainder OF the
estate was bequeathed to Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw In High Spirits.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw visited her
husband In the Tombs during the day
for the first time since she began to
tell the story of her life on the wit
ness stand. She was accompanied by
A. R. Peabody and John B. Gleason, Of
Thaws counsel. The four had a long
conference In the counselrOOm OF the
prison. Mrs. Thaw appeared 60 be in
high spirits and her husband also
seemed to be in a pleasant mood. He
would not discuss the progress OF his
trial, however.
Some of the Jurors are beginning to

which they are held. Under the rules
which have been laid down for them
they are denied practically every lib
erty and they are permitted 10 leave
the hotel for exercise only when all
twelve of the men wish to 60. Then
they are taken out under close guard.
This condition resulted in what de-
veloped into rather an unpleasant dis
agreement between the twelve men.
About half the number wanted to go
out for walk during the forenoon.
The others had no desire to 60 out,
however. They were weary as . re-
suit of the trying days In court and
preferred to lounge around their suite
In the hotel. A lengthy conference
and much argument brought no result
and then the men who wanted to go
out appealed to the officer In charge.
He told them that he was powerless.
He could not permit the men to leave
the hotel unless all Of them went, he
told them.

ON THE FISHERY QUESTION.
Canada sympathzes With People Of
Newfoundland.

Ottawa, Ont. Feb. l.-Mr. Lewis
West Huron) asked Premier Laurier
In the house to make declaration Of
sympathy with the people of New
foundland In their troubles with the
United States over the fisheries.
Premier Laurier said that it was
with some hesitation that he consent
ed to make pronouncement on the
subject. The question is now before
the colonial Office, he said, and British
diplomatists are not handling the
matter in q way satisfactory to New
foundland. Sir Wilfrid briefly re-
viewed the fishery question and said
the Newfoundland troubles might any
day become those OF. Canada. The
Canadian people, therefore, sympa-
thized with the people of Newfound-
land. But whatever difficulty there
was to be settled, he said In conclu-
sion, it would be settled by peaceful
1eans and never by the arbitrament
Of war.

Count Casteilane Appeals From Di

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE rumor that
Count Boni de Castellane had appealed
from the decision Of the courts last
November granting divorce to his
wife, who was Miss Anna Gould Of
New York. is confirmed. The period
under the French procedure in which
such appeal can be made expires Feb.
IA and the notice of appeal entered in
behalf OF the count prevents the de-
cree from becoming definite on that
date, thereby keeping alive Count
Bopi's hope OF reaching an agree
ment until the appeal is finally de-
cided. The notice does not state the
grounds of the appeal and probably
several months will elapse before the
matter comes up before the courts.

KILLED FOR HIS MONEY
The Victims Body Was Found Near
His Home.

Mr.. Luke Bradford was murdered
at Octagona, Marengo county. Ala.
several days ago. and his body was
found almost entirely devoured by
birds of prey.
The report reached Thomasville
Thursday afternoon by the nephew
of the dead man, Tom Bradford, who
states that negro. while out pos
sum hunting, found trunk near
Bradford's esidence. which had been
forcibly opened and rified. He went
to the Bradford home. and finding no
one there, reported to the neighbors
the finding of the trunk which led
to the investigation.
After a diligent search of several
hours. the party found the badly mu-
tilated body of Mr.. Bradford lying in
n gully about $50 yards from his
house. 1t had evidently been dragg-
ed there in a blanket by the parties
committing the murder. The body
was identified, although the face was
badly mutilated, and one OF the arms
was entirely missing.
Mr.. Bradford was an aged bache-
lor. prominent farmer, and was
supposed to have large amount of
money at his home. 1t was undoubt-
edly for the purpose-of robbery that
the old man. was killed.
