Imposition of Fine.

To a whispered question from United
States Attorney Baker King said he was
without funds and Deputy Marshal Crab
tree explained that the witness is poor
man.
Il see no circumstance in the case to JUS
tify leniency, except the condition of Mr..
Kings family and the hardship which would
be imposed by leaving him in this city with
out money to pay for his return home Mr.
Baker remarked. 1T Is the desire of the
United States attorneys office, and l know
1t is the wish Of the court. to impress upon
all the necessity of obeying subpoenas OF
the District Supreme Court. The general
impression seems to be that the jurisdiction
of this court does not extend beyond the
boundaries OF the District of Columbia. but
1t has been amply upheld by judicial deci-
sions that the service of the court must be
obeyed in all states of the Union"
Mr.. Baker suggested that King be fined
ton was in accordance with his own idea
and it was ordered that the sum mentioned
be deducted from the witness fee and
mileage due King from the government
namely, $3O4. That will leave the witness
$104-barely enough with which to make
the return trip to Seattle.
After The Stars report of the Hermann
trial closed yesterday Irwin Rittenhouse
identified q large number of letters which
were directly or indirectly connected with
the letter books which the defendant is
charged with destroying.

CARD ONLY ORDINARY
FAIR-sIZED TURNOUT AT BEN
MING TODAY.

Another very ordinary card was offered
today by the Washington Jockey Club for
the fourth session of it's spring meeting at
Benning. The fields were very light and
comprised, with few exceptions, about the
cheapest class of horses at the track.
Patrons as We'll as the bookmakers were
loud in their complaint. everybody insisting
that the stewards should get the big stick
after the trainers and owners.
Todays turnout of spectators was only
fair. the local people doubtless waiting for
more attractive programs while the regu-
lars were in attendance through force of
habit. Notwithstanding that the bookies
have been big winners so far, the number
doing business today was lessened by fully
a dozen as the attendance has not been
large enough to keep the entire lot busy.
The track continued dry and fairly good.

NOT READY TO STEP IN
MEDIATION IN CENTRAL AMER
IcA NOT IMMINENT.

The moment has not yet arrived when the
stop the spread Of war in Central America.
That was the decision arrived at as the
result of conference between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Creel at the State
Department today. The Secretary had also
the benefit OF the advices received by the
diplomatic representatives of the Central
American states from their own govern
ments.
The Mexican ambassador and Secretary
Root had a long conference concerning the
provisional government In Honduras. and
Secretary Root also conferred with Mr.
Sorea. the Nicaraguan minister; Mr.. Calvo
the Costa Rfcan minister, and Mr. Toledo
the Guatemalan minister. Mexico and the
United States have not yet decided upon
what course they shall follow to insure
peace in Central America but II Is NOT
likely that these two republics Will recog-
nize the provisional government in Hon
duras until they have consulted the wishes
OF all the Central American republics.
Officials Embarrassed.
The absence of definite informant from
the seat of trouble is very emba ira ssing to
the officials. who are sincerely DESTROYS of
bringing about peace.
II Is reared that the collapse of the
Bonilla government in Honduras. and the
consequent installation of the provisional
government in accord with that of Nicara-
qua, Will result in combined attack by
them upon other Central American re-
pubiics. The apprehension of such a move
ment has greatly alarmed all OF the other
states. and 1t Is said that Central America
after an unusually long term of peace is
now being rapidly turned into an armed
camp, In readiness to repel attack from any
quarter. 1t is said that there is no dispo-
sition on the part of the United States gov
eminent to play the part of policeman to-
ward these sister republics, but ii would
welcome any proper opportunity to restore
peace.
Late Advices.
The State Department received a dis
patch today from United States Minister
Merry at San Jose, Costa Rica. ANNOUNCE
Ing that 1t Is reported there that ANA
pala, Honduras. is being bombarded. Anna
pala is the chief Honduran port on the Pa
cifc side, and President Bonilla of Hon.
duras Is reported to have fed to that port,
which was formerly one of his strongholds.
Sometime ago 1t was reported that Mica
ragua had sent a gunboat to storm ANA
pala.
Several of the Central American minis
tiers received dispatches today concerning
the new Honduran provisional government.
affairs are In charge of a junta composed
of the following men: Gen. Maxine Ro-
sales. A. Bustillo and Miguel Davila. Mr..
Bustillo is prominent lawyer. and Mr..
Davtla Is wealthy planter and business
man.

NEW YORK. March 28-The war of the

Bryan press agents said today that they
had the trust bund and the Hearst public
ity promoters left at the post The SO a

management of the anti Bryan wing of the

Alton b. Parker the chief guest of

When the row over the question of MAX

be so large and important as to give I'M
usual opportunities for trading for strength
in the control OF the state as to the Presl-
Dental Endorsement and the senatorial NOM
ination. There will be thirteen nominations
to be made for state offices next year. not
to speak of the legislative offices and the
congressmen-alld due to the recent change in
the state constitution by which general
elections are to be held in the even years
and local elections in the odd years. 1t is
undoubtedly with these trading possibili-
ties in view that the organization in the In
terest of Secretary Taft is put on Its feet
fully eighteen months before the meeting
of the republican national convention. Much
can be accomplished often in the attitude
Of a congressional district on a question
of party policy by a judicious distribution
that opponents can work at as Wei. and
opponents in this case certainly gave evil
dence at Dayton last fall that they were as
good as the best in political manipulation
of this kind.
Showing New Lines.
Already the new situation Is showing
new hines of factional cleavage In the re-
publican party here. 1t seems quite like
iy that whatever division may result in the
party may be along lines wholly ignoring
old fractional differences For instance. Will
liam F. Burdell, for many years treasurer
of the republican state executive commit
tee. and always with Senator Sherman.
Senator Hanna and Senator Dick in their
political fights. is an outspOken advocate OF
the nomination of Secretary Taft.
Some new light may be thrown on the
as far as Gov. Harris adminfstra-
tien is concerned in 1t. by some utterance
from him. The governor minated yester-
day that If his administration should De
criticised as the result of the action OF
Vorys he would reserve the
right to make statement in its defense
statement of this kind from the governor or
the withdraw wal Of Mr. Vorys from the state
insurance department would separate the
Taft organization from the state admins
traitor and put it before the republicans
of the state in quite different light. 1t is
quite likely that action of this kind VIII
simplify the situation very much within the
next week.
