A. B. CLEMENTS HELD
EX-Cashier in Prison in De-
fault of $4,000 Bail.
FOUR CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Former OflclaI of Wrecked Institu-
tiOn Accused of Taking $4,000,
Withdrew $4,000 without Making
Note Thereof, and Signed Alleged
False Report OF Banks Condition.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 3.-Abner B. Gem
ents, former cashier OF the wrecked Aetna
banking and Trust Company, was ar
raigned in the criminal division Of the
District Court to-day on four informa-
tions charging felonies il connection with
the bank failure.
One charge against him is the taking Of
$4,000 another taking out $4,000 without
making an entry of It, and the two other
informations relate 10 the issuance and
publication of alleged false reports about
the financial condition Of the bank. These
latter charges simply accuse him Of con-
curing in the statements, which were
signed by F. Augustus Heinze. rs presi-
dent OF the bank, and by Clements. as
secretary. Clements is in jail in default
of bail aggregating $4250O.
He is a graduate Of Annapolis, and was
an officer in the navy for several years.
Since the failure of the bank he has
been in the custody of a jailer. who was
one Of the heaviest losers in the Aetna
failure. and that fact has not added to
Clements Jail comforts. Depositors real
lied 70 per cent on their deposits. The
bank failed for SJ00 900.

ZELAYA IN THE ROLE
OF A PACIFICATOR

The relations between the republics OF
Central America continue to afford u
topic Of acute and vivid discussion. In
the view Of those well acquainted with
the situation. the most astonishing an
nouncement yet made is that The Presi-
dent Of Nicaragua, Gen. Zelaya, is now
an advocate Of international peace
throughout that zone OF this continent
ZeIaya, they say, has hitherto been best
known as a fomenJor Of revolutions in
his own and other countries-nine Of
them in fourteen years. His sudden ap-
pearance in the role Of pacifcatOr is only
10 be explained, they contend, by the
utter failure Of his ambition TO place
himself at the head Of the FIVE republics
by force Of arms. For this change OF
attitude. the critics Of Zelaya offer the
explanation that as a Little Napoleon
he IS down and out"
Zelaya declares himself in favor Of
Central American conference 10 guaran-
tee peace. This IS precisely the end to-
ward which the other four republics have
been striving. only they steadfastly re-
fuse 10 submit to a union 0f force, d0mi-
mated by ruler who, they declare. vio-
lates treaties, and whose idea Of arbitra-
tion is that it should be al the mouth Of
q gun. They point TO the record Of
Zelaya as an armed tyrant TO explain
why other republics shrink from his pro-
. fessions Of peace.
When in 1905 Zelaya was defeated in his
project 20 enlist Salvador and Honduras
in war against Guatemala. he sought re-
venre upon Honduras. He invaded that
country with forces CfIiCeTed by Horduran
emigres. his purpose being. it is claimed,

archy. He established there i govern
ment that is subservieat. his critics say,

that has disorganizcd the public service
and handicapped for years the normal
/ progress Of that unfortunate country
This spectacle has caused the other re-
publics to regard the ruler Of Nicaragua

the name of liberty and justice.

Join that country and Honduras in an alli-
ance against Salvador and Guatemala
But those who know the temper of the
/ Costa Ricans confidently predict that they
VIII never yield TO fear and that they can
neither be bought nor cajoled. They will
remember how Zelaya broke the treaty Of
Amalpa with Salvador. which the United
States, Mexico. and Guatemala compelled
( him to sisn. just as he had broken pre-
vioUs treaties and had refused TO abide
/ by an arbitral decision. The first of the
( signers OF the treaty of Amalpa was Mr.
/ Philip Brown. charge d'anaires of the
! United States. 1t is well known in Wash

/ based upon the good faith which must
prevail in the understanding between fra

/ the convention of which il is charged

The Kaiserin was headed out into the
Atlantic with all her lights set and her
fog horn blowing continuous signals.
There was a mist hanging over the wa
ter that cut of the view for more than a
ships length.
In view Of the heavy traffic on that
coast. the Kaiserin was moving at not
more than half speed. Capt Ruser was
on the bridge. All the passengers. tired
out from the excitement Of preparing for
departure FOR home, were in their state
rooms.
The navigating officers Of the KaiseTin
heard no fog horn otEer than their own
and supposed their way was clear. when
suddenly the schooner popped out OF the
haze, She was headed directly for the
steamship and there was no time for
either 20 change course.
With "a crash that carcened the pom
derous liner, the schooner struck her Just
forward Of amidships on the starboard
side. The shock threw all persons stand
ing to the deck. In an instant word was
telegrarhed from the bridge to the en-
Eiue-room TO stop the ship, and she soon
lost headway.
The passengers did not wait to dress.
They Swarmed on the decks by hun
dreds. women screaming, children cry

decks were wet the depressing fog dim

ship was net seriously damaged. but he

KAISER IN TIGHT PLACE.
Diplomat Sees Permanent Peace or
Early War in the situation.

London, Aug. 3-"The permanent peace
~ Europe depends far more on the atti-
tude England and the Continent assume
toward the recent friendship proposals Of
Kaiser William than any number OF
Hague conferences" This is the opinion
expressed to-day by an ambassador Of
one Of the great powers 10 your corre-
spondent. His name, for obvious reasons,
cannot be used. Continuing. he said:
The Kaiser is making the first peace
crusade Of his reign. It must succeed, or
there viii be trouble The Kaiser realizes
how his country has lost diplomatic pres
tige through the ententes between nations
which leave Germany out. England
France, Spain. and Italy have eliminated
the possibility Of var among themselves,
so far as human foresight can do IL
Japans treaties with England and France
have placed trouble in the far East out
of the range OF diplomatic possibility.
Even Russia is joining the international
peace movement by her new entente with
England.
The Kaiser sees he cannot hold out
against the opinion of Europe Hence
his desire TO join the peace movement.
Put before reaching this conclusion he
made two attempts 10 once more dazzle

not generally known. lie asked the Dutch

waters. could hold the Baltic against the
combined nayies Of Europe
Had the Danes agreed. the Baltic
would have become a German lake. But
remembering how Prussia robbed them
Of SchleswiE-H -Holstein, they refused.
In seeking peace the Kaiser is learn
ing how sadly his reputation for wanting
trouble is against him. Replies to feel
crs put out In Paris and London were far
from flattering. Suspicious Of his sudden
change. France and England told the
German ruler he cannot be admitted
into the peace circle until he gives evil
dence OF his sincerity.
Il believe the Kaiser IS sincere. and
that these assurances viii be forthcoming

movement earnestly. limitation Of arma-
ments and complete compulsory arbitra-
tion are within the range Of practicable
ity. II Is conceivable. therefore. that be-
fore another Hague conference assemblies
