TRYING TO AVERT WAR.
Nicaragua Must Be Shown That Honor
Is Not at Stake

Costa Rica and Salvador have joined their
efforts to those of the United States and
Mexico to prevent a war in Central Amer
lea as the result of the present friction be-
tween Honduras and Nicaragua. Senior Cal
vo, the minister to Washington from Costa
Rica, had conference at the State Depart
ment With the officials today relative to
that subject and was able to assure them
that his government after communicating
with that of Salvador had undertaken to
intervene to the extent of making repre-
sensations to the opposing governments cal
culated to induce them to refrain from hos
tilities. 1t appears that the question of
national pride is large factor in the
problem. Each side feels that in view of
the boodshed that has taken place on the
borders only war satisfy the demands
of honor. 1t is the purpose of the four
governments that are now acting in con-
junction in the interest of peace to con-
vince the woud-De beligerents that their
honor would not be aspersed by submitting
their differences to peaceful adjudication.
Honduras has accepted that view and it
now remains only for Nicaragua to yield to
this influence.

FOR WOMEN SUFFRAGE
TITLED WOMEN AND WORKERS
PARADE IN LONDON.

LONDON, February 9.-Titled women, clad
in silk and velvet, women with university
degrees, girl graduates in caps and gowns,
women artists, members of the .Lyceum and
other women's clubs, temperance advocates
and women textile workers, gathered from
all parts of the country this afternoon and
marched in procession through the rain and
muddy streets of London in support of the
movement in favor of women suffrage The
participants in the procession were mar
shaled at Hyde Park and with bands and
banners marched through Picadilly, Regent
street and Pail Mall to Trafalgar square
and Exeter Hall, where a public meeting
was held.
The speakers demanded the early atten-
ton of parliament to the bill providing for
the enfranchisement of women. The dem
onstration included such we'll ,nown per-
sons as Lady Frances Balfour, sister of the
ex-premier; Lady Maud Parry and other
titled women Mrs. Fawcett, widow of the
former postmaster general, and most of the
leaders of the more important suffrage
societies, who are utterly opposed to the
militant methods of the so-called "suffrag-
ettes," who recently were carried out of the
house of commons by policemen and COM
mitted to prison for disturbing the peace.
There were several thousand women in the
procession, which was half mile long.

An abutment Of the big structure which
towers overhead stands squarely. on the
site of the Washington home In that
stone archway there is now the paper ware
house of James S. Wemyss. Many of the
archways are occupied for commercial pur-
poses, and they are dangerous places for a
nre, for there are only a few windows cut
into the stone, and the lack of ventilation
causes great clouds of smoke so that the
firemen work at a risk.
AT the end of the abutment, which faces
Cherry street, bronze tablet has been Set

HELD ON FRAUD CHARGES.
Men Arrested in New York for Al
legged SWindle,'

NEW YORK, February 9.-Twelve men
were arrested today charged with having
fraudulently obtained more than $4,000
from the Degnon Contracting Company and
the New York and Long Island Railroad
Company, by means of false pay checks.
Several of the men were timekeepers en-
ployed in connection with the construction
of the Belmont tunnel under East river at
42d street, and the others are charged with
being dummies who received the money on
the alleged frauAulent checks.
Police Inspector Mclaughlin, after the
arrests had been made, said that the oper-
atoms of the gang have been in progress
for more than two months. The alleged
principals in the case are Joseph l..
Schwartz. a timekeeper employed by the
Degnon Company; Caldwell j. Eaton. time
keeper for the New York and Long Island
Railroad Company; Orville Eaton, father
of Caldwell, and Otis Latham, a waiter.
The police claim that Schwartz has made a
complete confession in which he said that
he furnished the pay checks, that Young
Eaton o. KID them, and that the elder
Eaton and Latham hired and watched the
dummies who collected the money on the
nav checks.

Investigation.

Resorting to means known only to HIM
self Secretary Taft is seeking to gather
the information desired by the President
as to the financial status of the men who
have been associated with Mr.. Oliver in
his bid for the construction Of the Panama
canal, as well as to learn the professional
reputation and ability of the contractors
who are to participate in the work.
Much of this Information can be obtained
only from persons who have either been as
ISOLATED in business with the subjects of
inquiry or have competed with them pro-
fessionally and in business ways. Mr..
Stevens, the engineer in charge at Pana-
ma, is being consulted by cable to the
details of the bids received and his advice
is being sought on each proposition.

mony that most interests the members OF
the committee Is that all of the men on the
stand have said that they would be able to
distinguish the report of the Springfield
fines or the KragJorgenson rifles from
the reports of other firearms, and most of
the witnesses have said that they did not
hear any army rifles. The testimony of the
white ofhcers now under court-martiai IS
being awaited on this point. Several sena-

some members Of the negro battalion were
guilty OF the shooting now say their
opinions Will be shaken IL the white Off
GERS should go on the stand and say that
they could not detect the reports of Spring

for granted that soldiers are able to dis

makes of guns.
