MARINES WILL BE
 SENT TO HONDURAS

Panama, July 16.-Lieutenant Colonel Cole, commander of the American ma rines now here, today received orders from Washington to have 150 marines ready for immediate field service It IS believed that they will be dispatched to Honduras on the United States cruiser Des Moines, which is expected to arrive at Colon at any moment. The cruiser Albany, which left on Sunday carried 100 marines destined for Amapala Ad- vices received here indicate that the sit uation in Central America is becoming more complicated and tend to confirm the reports that the movement in Hon. duras is aimed against President Zelaya of Nicaragua. There is great rivalry, too, between President Zelaya and Pres ident Cabrera of Guatemala. It is be- lieved here that President Cabrera and President Figueroa of Salvador are de- sirous of having an allied government in Honduras. If they can secure this, it is thought that Costa Rca will be compelled to join in the crusade against Zelaya, who would find 1t difficult task to resist the combined attacks of Hon. duras, Guatemala, Costa, Rica, Salvador and the enemies in his own country.
 In the meantime President Zelaya has presented a complaint to the Central American court of justice that Guate- mala and Salvador have given assistance to the Honduran revolutionists

MORE SPECULATION OVER
 DEATH OF HAZEL DREW

Troy, N. Y, July 16.-That Hazel Drew came to her death as result of an automobile accident instead of being the victim of foul and deliberate murder is one of the theories put forth tonight as a possible solution of the Teal Pond mystery. After five days of careful in- vestigation in which many theories have been advanced a motive for the murder is lacking. Nothing has been learned that would warrant the authorities in making an arrest in connection with the crime. This being the case the accident theory is advanced. The macadam road between Troy and Averill Park is pop ular with automobilists. A reckless chauffeur speeding along at night may have struck the girl with his car caus- Ing her death. Rather than face the con- sequences and knowing the country well, it would have been a comparatively easy
 matter to have taken the girl in the ear up the lonely road toward Taborton and

tentiary and the consequent helplessness of his wife and children"
 Pressed for an explanation of his mean ing in the letter he had written to Ernst the prince exclaimed:
 My God! My God! was more i'll then than I am today!"
 When asked to explain the rapid pro- motion of Herr Kistler, court councillor, with whom the prince was unusually friendly, the prince related at length Kistlers services as his private secre- tary, his gift for letter writing and his ability in indexing documents etc.
 Continuing, the prince explained the letter he wrote to the Emperor in 1888 in the interest of Kister, as an express sion of his wish to see Kistler taken care of in case of his, (the prince's), death Kistlers future lay near to his heart, and as the prince felt his rela- tions to the Emperor might be regarded as justifying this letter, he had written it and given 1t to Kistler to be used in the event of his death. This letter was produced in court, having been seized in Kistlers house by the police when they searched the premises. It was ornamented with five seals, and indorsed My last request" The letter is address ed to His Majesty, the German Elm peror," and in exaggerated language the writer commended Kistler to the imperial favor. In conclusion the prince said;
 My last breath is a greeting to your majesty"
 After the princes explanation of Kist- ler's letter his breath became short and quick and he grew so weak that the doctors recommended an adjournment. This was taken and the proceedings TOT the day were over
