REASONS ASKED FOR.
State Department Wants to Know
Why the Moissants Are Imprisoned

The State Department has cabled an
inquiry to Minister Merry at San Salvador
respecting the reasons for the imprison-
ment in that capital Of George and Ed
ward Moissant, who are reported to be
American citizens, though whether they are
naturalzed or natives is not known 1t
Is said that the Moissants were originally
from California, but they have been for
many years engaged in business In Saliva
dor. being connected with one of the prin-
cipal banks of that country, owning plan
tations and having other large interests
there.
The press reports indicate that the Mois-
SAINTS have, like so many Americans long
resident in Central America become in
volved in the internal politics of Salvador.
and, incidentally, it is charged that they
were connected with the recent revolution
airy attack on Acajutla. On the other hand,
it has been intimated that their refusal to
submit to that peculiarly Latin-American
institution known as the forced loan is
the cause of their prosecution.
The question of their citizenship becomes
d Importance, because If they are not
native, but naturalized. citizens of the
United States. they may have lost that
citizenship under the provisions of an act
of last Congress.

sister counselor; Mrs. John Piland. sister
vice counselor; Mrs z. B. Byrne. secretary
treasurer; Mrs. Jones. sergeant-at-arms. In
her opening address the presiding officer
Mrs. Rohl, stated that the meeting was an
open one and had been called for the pur-
pose of setting forth the object Of insti-
tuting ladies' organization as an auxiliary
to the union carpenters. The speaker
earnestly requested those present to join
the organization and make it a power by
using their influence in promulgating the
principles Of organized labor. This is not
boycotting institution" continued Mrs
Rohl, but we shall very decidedly use our
influence to encourage dealings with those
business firms who are fair to organized
labor. All members OF the Carpenters
Union are eligible to membership" she said
but we more particularly request the
wives. sisters. daughters and their lady
friends to become members

Mr.. Luther w. Lloyd, who had been elected
as general adviser to the auxiliary, respond
ed 10 an urgent call and addressed the
meeting, congratulating the members on
the very promising prospects that had at
tended their efforts in forming their organi-
cation, which he had been creditably in
formed had a membership of close on 200
members, and there was no reason why the
membership should not reach two thousand
inside three months. The Carpenters
Union" said Mr.. Lloyd, numbers nearly
two thousand members, and the auxiliary
with the material at its service ought very
easily to double that number"
In any event he had no hesitation in pre-
dieting that the organization would soon be
a power. The presiding officer named
committee of five members to draft suitable
bylaws to be presented at the next meet
ing, which will be called as soon as the by

take place next Wednesday morning at the
Office of Referee McCalmont. in the Column

Coulter Wells would like to have Thomas

examined by the creditors. but this would
seem to be impossible as long as the Mary
land court order declaring Thomas R. Mar

understood Mr.. Wells will not take any
steps looking to attack the legality
OF the insanity proceedings. Should further
information be CLEANED from the examina-
tion of Lee X. Martin that would make ii
appear that the interests of the creditors
could be better conserved by an attempt
