COMPLAINTOF CONSULS
WHY EXEoUATURS WERE CAN
CELED By HONDURAS.


Minister Ugarte of Honduras has given
the acting secretary of state two tele-
grams from the Honduras government re-
iating to it's action in. canceling the ex-
equaters Of the former consuls at Ceiba.
Inc dispatches declare that this action
was taken because of the unlawful inter-
Ventfon of the consuls in the political af-
fairs of Honduras; that they asked the
commandant Of the town to Immediately
surrender; that they concealed the place
where the revolutionists were and that
they exaggerated the number Of them.
Pubiic opinion, the Hondurans hold. Is
against the behavior of these consuls,
which. the minister's dispatch says, my
government considers quite contrary to
the friendly attitude of the American gov
eminent"
Reports which have reached the State
Department uphold the contention of the
consuls that they have not been guilty OF
any breach Of propriety. that they did not
advise the surrender of the town when de.
manded by the revOlutiOnfsts as charged
by Honduras. but simply communicated
the demand to the commandment. The IN
cident has caused considerable annoyance
to this government. which ever since the
revolution in Honduras commenced has
exerted its best efforts to prevent an!
breach of neutrality in Central America
which might prove adverse to the inter
ests of President Davila's government.

Gle the dog.
That was the last of the matter until

Police Court Monday morning.

MANAGES BLOODY ACT
SHOOTS FARMER AND HOUSE.
KEEPER AND THEN SELF.


AURORA, ILL.,, August III. A. Morreli.
a wealthy farmer living at Blackberry
Center. a village fifteen miles from Au-
rora, was fatally shot early today and
his housekeeper, Mrs. May Balloon, was
murdered by John Anderson. who was en-
ployed on Morreifs farm. Anderson later
committed suicide with shotgun, blow
ing the top of his head on.
No cause is known for the attack on
Morrell and the housekeeper, as Anderson
Is known to have been warmly attached
to both of them. He had been drinking
heavily for several weeks, and 1t Is be-
lieved was demented.
From the brief story which Morrell has
been able to tell it Is believed that An
derson, after killing the housekeeper,
awakened to a sense: of what he had done
and endeavored to aid Morrell. The farm
er says he remembers that some man
tried to help dim. and that he heard a
voice asking for forgiveness. 1t is also be
lieved from an examination of the body
of the housekeeper that Anderson at
tempted to help her, but realizing that
the woman was dead. went away and kill
ed himself. t
When Mrs Lucinda Morrell, mother OF
Mr.. Morrell, saw her sons unconscious
form she tainted and physicians, who were
called, predicted that her death from the
shock would precede that Of her son.

RESIGNS FROM COMMITTEE.
Georgia Physician Then Testifies il
Convict Labor Hearing.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 1.-Senator j.
r. Brock, member of the legislative COM
mittee investigating the Georgia convict
lease system, yesterday resigned from the
committee and this afternoon took the
stand in his own behalf. He said he took
this course not to defend himself from
any charges made against him. but in
the effort to throw further light upon the
working Of the system.
DIR. Brock formerly served as camp
physician at the Durham coal mines and
the mines Of the Georgia Coal and Iron
Company. His testimony dealt chiefly
with the conditions prevailing in these
camps and took up most of the time Of
the session of the committee.
Judge Maddox Of Rome. Ga, who de-
clared that he represented former Chief
Warden Moore. asked permission to cross
examine witnesses. He was advised by
Chairman Fielder that he might submit
questions In writing, which will then be
propounded to the witnesses.

Chose Street as Scene Of
Near-Tragedy.

William Javins. aged twenty-five years,
who attempted to shoot himself in the
head with a .32-caliber revolver last night
near 4th street and Maryland avenue
northeast. was arraigned in the Police
Court this morning. before Acting Judge
Aukam. upon charges of carrying con-
cealed weapon and Of discharging fire.
arms without permit.
The court. after hearing all the evil
dence in the case decided to give the de-
PENDANT another chance. He was liberated
on his personal bonds on condition that
he leave revolvers alone and chase sui
cidal ideas from his Uranium.
Javins. according to the testimony OF
Policeman Gee of the ninth precinct, who
was close a hand. walked out OF a drue
store about 10 o'clock last night, stood
for a moment on the pavement and then
pulled revolver from his pocket, placed
it at his temple and fired. Javins toppled
to the pavement.
Gee hastened to the man. whom he
thought for the instant was dead. Javins
was still breathing and there was no sign
of blood. AS the policeman turned him
over Javins suddenly jumped to his feet
and demanded that the bluecoat tell if he
were shot.
Gee decided that it was a clear case
for the doctors and summoned the am.
bulance Of the Casualty Hospital. An
examination by the ambulance surgeon
showed that the bullet from the revolver
had just graZed the man neck, not even
breaking the skin.
After a conference between the hospital
physician and the policeman it was con
cluded to place Javins under arrest and
let Police Court judge determine wha,
should be done with him.
Javins said he was formerly employed
as driver by local ice company anf
was discharged several days ago. He sait
that the loss of his position worried
him to such an extent that he finally con
cluded to end everything by shooting
himself.
Javins was taken in charge by Agen
Massie of the Prisoners Aid Society. III
will probably be given permanent employ
ment in day or so.
