LOEB PUT AT HEAD
 OF STREET RAILWAY
THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY, RUMCR SAYS, IS MADE PRESl- DENT OF THE WASHINGTON RAILWAY AND ELECTRIC co.

Washington April 25.-An important change in the control of the Washington Railway and Electric company, of this city, will occur at the annual meeting next January It became known today that a number of local capitalists had purchased a majority of the stock.
 Simultaneously with this announcement, it was rumored that William Loeb, sec. retary to the President, had been deter mined upon as the president of the cor poration The fact that the purchase had been made did not become public until after MT. Loeb had departed on the May flower with the President for the James town exposition and therefore the re- port of his connection with the company could not be confirmed, inasmuch as the brokerage firm which negotiated the pur- chase of the stock were mute on the subject of who the purchasers were, or whether they were committed to MT. Loeb.
 A similar rumor regarding MT. Loeb s utilization with the company has been in circulation for several months, but not until today did it take definite shape
 Former Representative McDermott of New Jersey, is now president of the com- pany, which heretofore has been owned largely by New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia capitalists.

 Conspiracy Warmly Received.

Washington. April 25.-(Special.)-Th long heralded interview of Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania took place with the President at the White House this morn ing, where the Pennsylvania senator, ac- cused of giving away the inside of the five million dollars conspiracy, received a reception which could not have been more cordial. In fact, he was so warmly greeted by the President that there is just a suspicion that MT. Roosevelt Is very happy that Senator Penrose talked too much at the famous dinner party
 Undoubtedly the President is indebted 10 Senator Penrose for furnishing him means to turn public attention from the Hartman letter to the conspiracy. Sena- tor Penrose, however, cannot see the joke.
 Ever since the announcement of the President there has been talk of oppo- sition to the senator. This has now pro ceeded so far that Justice John F. Elkin of the state supreme court is said to have received assurances from the opposition that he will receive the support for Pen roses toga.

PEACE CONGRESS IN
 CENTRAL AMERICA
Third Conference Arranged By Nicaraguan-SaIvador Treaty
EXPECTED TO END WARS
Diplomats Are Gratified, and Believe This Time Peace Will Be Se- cured for Many Years
 at Least.

Washington, April 25.-Details of the treaty of peace and amity between Me aragua and Salvador which was signed at Amapala on Tuesday last were re- ceived at the state department today through cablegram from Philip Brown. charge of the American legation at Guatemala The treaty Is similar to that entered into a year ago and known as the Marblehead pact, and 1t includes a provision for a general Central American peace congress to be held in Nicaragua in the near future, and a special commer- cial treaty between Nicaragua and Sal vador.
 The new conference to be held in Mic aragua under the terms of this last agree ment will be the third of series Of such gatherings of the republics of Gen. tral America, each and all with the same purpose, namely, to conserve the peace of that section of the world.
 The first conference was held at Corinto in 1905 and resulted in the adoption of a scheme for the settlement of issues be- tween the little republics, which if 1t had been adhered to would have put an end for all time to the frequent wars that have ravaged that section Within year after the conclusion of the Corlnto agreement friction again developed, and actual war between two of the republics was only prevented by the active inter- vention of Secretary Root. This took the form of proposals to both sides which could not be resisted for another confer ence which was held on board the United States ship Marblehead about a year ago.
 The outcome was another agreement to which four of the republics were par ties to preserve the peace on well de- fined principles looking to the arbtra- ton of any threatening issues Nicaragua did not adhere to that arrangement, talk ing the ground that It was uncertain because she had already subscribed to the Corinto convention. In the course of another year troubles again developed. this time between Nicaragua and Hon duras, over boundary question and in- cidentally Salvador was dragged Into the war that followed.
 It is tho expectation of the officials that as a result of the third conference about to be held here will be no furher dis turbances in Central America, at least not for many years to come.
 The news of the signing of the treaty of Tuesday was received here with the greatest satisfaction by the Mexican am bassador, Mr. Creel. who has been partic- ulariy active in bringing this to con- clusion and indeed by the whole Central American diplomatic contingent, who to- day called at the state department to express their qualification at the outcome.

$4OO,OOO IS AMOUNT
 OF MISSING BONDS
Alleged Conspiracy Against
 Trust Co. of America
BOSTON MAN ITS LEADER
Secrecy Surrounds the Work at the District Attorneys Office and De- tective by Order of Jerome
 Refuses to Talk.

New York April 25.-The World will say tomorrow: It was learned yesterday that the amount of bonds stolen from the trust company by w. O. Douglas, the assistant loan clerk, was in excess of s4oO,oo0. All those bonds are now in the possession of the trust company or have been located
 Secrecy surrounds the work at the dis trict attorneys office and the private de- tective bureau charged with running down those responsible for the theft of the bonds of the Trust Company of America, and in connection with which Robert A. Douglas. loan clerk. and A. M. Den nett, a broker are under arrest.
 Throughout the day there were rumors that many of the missing bonds had been found where they had been secreted under the floor of Dennett's office on Wall street. This could not be officially verified nor could the still more persistent report that the brains of the conspir- acy against the trust company were to be found in the person of Boston law yer, yet unnamed publicly.
 Pressed for a statement District At torney Jerome late tonight, said:
 There are certain phases of the case now under consideration of which neither my assistant, Mir. Murphy, nor myself could speak at the present time We are both considering the matter"
 Later MT Murphy was asked speclfcal- ly if there were $32, 2,000 in bonds or money in the office of MT. Dennett He said:
 If anything of moment was found l could not tell you. If $32000 was found no person would be more pleased to know than myself
 No statement has been issued by the company to show exactly what the defal- cation amounted to. Richard Honey counsel for Douglas, was unable to raise 5000 today for bail for his client, and Douglas remained in jail.
 The Herald today says that the iden- tity of the man who engineered the raid on the securities of tho Trust Company of America for which two men, w. O. Douglas, the companys assistant bond clerk and Oliver M Dennett, a broker are under arrest, has been disclosed, and that his arrest is expected shortly. He is' stated to be a Boston man, vel known in financial and political affairs. A statement from Douglas is looked fol soon and he says he will furnish the evil dence on which the Boston man will be arrested. When the man is arrested, fl is declared. there will be told the most amazing story that the financial district has heard in years.

 Officers.

Washington, April 25.-(Special.) 1.-The worklngmen of Washington in common with those throughout the United States ance of President Roosevelt in the Alex ander letter. reterating his former state ment that Mover, Haywood and Pettibone of the Western Federation of Labor are with Hartman, undesirable citizens.
 Any man that Roosevelt may now name for the Presidency will be defeated" 1" said a man high in the labor world or any man that he may seemingly support Besides the 60O, 900 soclialistic voters, the millions of organized workingmen will be against him or his candidate They are not so dumb as not to be able to read between the lines his hatred for trade unionism and without the labor vote no man can be elected to the Presidency
 MT, Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation, said:
 The time may come when 1t will be necessary for the American Federation of Labor to take action. Until that time We have nothing to say
 MT. Samuel Gompers could not be found, but the statement of MT. Morrison is understood to be about what he would have said.
 When MT. John H. Brinkman, presi- dent of the Central Labor union. and an international officer of the Brotherhood of Carriage and Wagonmakers. was found, he talked freely about the action of the President and unhestatingly con demned it. He said:
 President Roosevelt, in my opinion, has arrayed the great organizations of labor against him, and I do not believe that there is an honest laboring man in the United States affiliated with any polf- tical organization that could possibly mark his ballot in favor of him. He has written himself down as a tyrant He has in this case trampled the constitution under his feet. He is no more entitled to the support of the lawabiding citizens of this country than a man who has done his utmost to upset it's institutions. l l believe these views will be shared by every labor leader in the United States whether he is in affiliation with the Vest ern Federation of Miners or any other labor organization"
