CHRONIC REVOLUTIONIST
is DENIED A LANDING
Johnny Moisant Not Wanted in
Either Salvador or Qua.
temaIa

Johnny Moisant, the turbulent Ala
medan and chronic revolutionist, is
still among those not wanted in SAL
vador and Guatemala He was a pas
senger as far as Acapulco on the Pa
cifc Mail liner San Juan; which ar
rived here yesterday. He boarded the
liner at Amapala with the intention OF
visiting Salvador.
President Figueroa's officials saw
him coming, however, and when the
San Juan dropped anchor at AcaJutla
the comandante came of in his off,
cial barge and notified Captain Frazier
that John Moisant would not be al
lowed to set foot on shore.
Moisant then guessed that it was
Guatemala and not Salvador that he
wanted to visit and he took a transfer
to San Jose. Now Moisant is supposed
to be in the confidence Of President
zelaya of Nicaragua and zelaya is one
of the million or two men Of whom
Cabrera is in deadly fear, so when the
San Juan arrived at the Guatemala
sign had been turned to the wall as far
as he was concerned He went on as
far as Acapulco. where he went ashore
to await the next southbound liner.

SALVADOR MAY

Adverse Decision of Cartago
Tribunal Expected to Precip-

According TO Donald Baker, a min
ing engineer; who arrived here yester-
Cay from Central America on the liner
San Juan, the republic of Salvador is
waiting for the decision of the Cartago
tribunal in the matter of the dispute
between, Salvador and Honduras. with
an army ready for instant service and
magazines filled 10 overflowing with
arms and ammunition. Salvador is pre-
pared. says Baker. to dispute with Un-
Gle Sam himself, If necessary. its abso-
sute independence.

tion Of the United States and the estab-
lsshment Of the arbitration court at

tien President Zelaya was placing his
army on a war footing When the big

pie that with Uncle Sam as the police
man on the beat they could settle down

that the peace would. be preserved
The people of Nicaragua have accept

pretectorate. and whenever United
states Minister Coolidge appears on the
streets he. is greeted with cries OF Viva

that they are going too fast are Of no
avail. and whether Uncle Sam wants
them or not. the people of Nicaragua
are determined to be his wards.
In Salvador, however, and Costa Rica.
SAYS Baker. the protectorate idea is not
popular. They have both been the vic
tins of. adverse arbitration decisions
and prefer TO fight for their rights. Sal

COURT DECIDES $500
is VALUE OF FINGER
Laborer Hurt While at Work
Gets Compensation for
Injuries

Judge Graham appraised the price Of
the ring finger. Of James L. Scanlon at
1880 yesterday.
Scanlon was an employe Of the Stauf-
fer chemical works in Alameda county
and lost the third finger Of his left
hand while ar work. He brought suit
for $3.50 damages and a jury awarded
him that sum. The defendants made
a motion for a new trial, one Of their
grounds being that the award was ex-
cessive.
Judge Graham took the matter under
advisement and yesterday handed down
a decision stating that unless Scanlon
agreed to accept 81, 500 he would grant
that inasmuch as Scanlon was not in
capacitated from his work as a laborer
by the loss of his finger, he considered
$500 sufficient damages for such pain
and. mental torture as he had suffered.

STUDENTS SLAIN BY
!. ORDER OF CABRERA
Youths Who Dared to Criticise
the Executive Executed
at Break of Day
Reported Atrocity Indicates
That Blood Lust of Guate=
malan Is Not Appeased

President Cabrera of Guatemala has
not yet appeased his thirst for blood,
and the slaughter of innocents still
goes on in the capital of the Central
American republic. According to re-
port brought here yesterday by the
steamer San Juan, Cabrera ordered three
students, boys not yet of age, to be led
forth and shot to death three weeks ago
for the crime of criticising Cabrera's
administration at college debate.
The story was told on board the
San Juan by c. L. Vucanovich and
DR.. Grimler, his medical adviser, who
had accompanied him on business
trip to Guatemala. Vucanovich and
Grimler, who are both American citi-
zens, left the San Juan at Acapulco,
where they have business interests.
THREE YOUTHS SHOT AT DAWN
Two days before they left Guatemala,
they told their fellow passengers. they
heard nine shots fired within the walls
of the penitentiary. Only after per-
sistent inquiry did they learn what the
shots meant. A number of students
had engaged in debate the night be-
fore. and. at it's conclusion had adopted
set of resolutions criticising Ca
brera's administration. There were
spies at the meeting, and as the
students dispersed they were arrested
by Cabrera's soldiers. meeting of
the presidents ministers was hastily
called, the report of the spies was SUBJ
nitted, and three of the students were
condemned to death. The sentence was
carried out at dawn.
When the United States notified Ca
brera some time ago that this govern
ment would not countenance his indis-
-criminate slaughter and Imprisonment
OF so called political offenders that
murderous magistrate made great show
of opening the prison doors. About 100
persons were given freedom. Accord
ing. to Vucanovich and Grimler, the
cells vacated by the lucky hundred
were filled within few days by others,
on whose property Cabrera had his eye.
The arrests were made quietly and at
night. So far their lives have been
spared.
DOES NOT FEAR CABRERA
One of the few men in Guatemala
who does: not fear Cabrera is said to
Guatemala City for the Pacific Mail
company. Passengers on the San Juan
told the following story yesterday to
illustrate Hunters independence:
One of Cabrera's ministers sent for
Hunter, but was not in his Office when
Hunter called at the time appointed
Hunter was asked to call again at a
SpeclHed tlme,. ana the second time ne
kept the appointment, to find the Of
fetal who had summoned him absent
Hunter returned to his office. and when
again summoned to appear before this
official sent back word that the official
knew where Hunters office was, and
If he wanted to see him he could find
him there. In response to this message
a police officer was sent to take Hunter
by force to the officials quarters.
Hunter refused to go. The policeman
tried to take him, and the thrashing
that Hunter gave the minister's ennis
sary is said to be the talk of Guate-
mala-
In spite OF Cabrera, business in
Guatemala is said to be improving, and
the prospects for big coffee crop are
good.
