GALENA DELEGATION HERE.
They Want to See About a Zinc Lease
ON School Land.

A delegation from Galena is in To-
peka today, comforting with the attor-
ney general about a controversy over a
mineral lease, in which the Galena
board of education is involved. 1t is
claimed that the board of education
leased a strip of school land on a royal
ty for a zinc mine, and Col" Bill Sapp
of Galena objected to the proceeding.
He came to Topeka and secured the
permission of the attorney general to
use the name of the state in an injunc-
ton suit against the board of educa-
ton members 1t is claimed that in
stead of using the name of the state he
brought the suit in the name of the
G2lena board of education, lex rel F.
s. Jackson, attorney general" against
the individual members of the board.
The delegation here from Galena to-
day is to protest against the use of the
states name in such a fashion. They
contend that the board of education
has received $4,000 in leases, and that it
is good thing for the city.

WORKING FOR PEACE.
A Conference of Interested Parties
Held at Washington.

Washington. March 25.-Negotiations
for peace in Central America are being
carried on with great earnestness. Mr..
Creel, the Mexican ambassador. and
Mr.. Corea. the Nicaraguan minister,
both discussed the Central American
war today with Mr.. Root, and although
Mexico and the United States have not
yet found a way to restore harmony 1t
is believed that an arbitration will be
effected soon.
Nicaraguan is unwilling to make ov-
ertures for peace, as it is disclosed such
step would he regarded by President
Zelaya as an indication that he fears

to jointly advise Salvador and Guate-

that the war would end as Honduras

some manner that it desires peace.
Mexico and the United States are I'M
willing to force peace which might be
distasteful to either of the three coun-

TIED UP THE TRAFFIC.
Tramp Caught in Car of Lumber and
Train Held Over an Hour.

Abbrecht Hochuli, who was beating
his way north on a through Rock
Island freight, was the center of at
traction on the bridge for an hour and
a half this morning. Hochuli and his
partner, Paul Knechtn, had crawled
into a sheltering- nook far from the
pryingyr eyes of the. brakemen, in the
end of a car Of lumber. When the
engine struck the North Topeka 'Y''
it left the rails. and the engineer hast
lily set the air brakes. The car of
lumber shifted, catching HochuH, and
pinning him to the end of the car. His
partner escaped with a few slight
bruises, and gave the alarm. The en-
tire train crew and assistants from the
yards spent an hour and half saving
out the end of the car to get at the
injured man, who was badly bruised,
but with no bones broken.
Finding that the man was not seri-
ously injured, the conductor took a
few minutes off to give the hoboes
first class "cussing" for causing the
delay. The pair were beating their
way from Oklahoma to their homes in
ST Louis.
