PAVE CARS
NOT WELCOME

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 15.-The
pay as you enter cars have been
introduced in Portland, and, judg-
ing by the amount of complaint
which has been heard since they
were placed in operation they are
not going to be welcomed with
open arms by the travelling public.
During the hours of the day when
travel is light there is little COM
plant to be made on the pay as you
enter system, but when the rush
hours come the cars are the worst
nuisance which has yet been in
flicted upon the public by the street
railway management.
There are so many rules at
tached to the operation of the new
cars that it is worth more than the
price of the ride to comply with the
rules.

This is the sort of debutante
Ethel Roosevelt is:
AS guest of Mrs. Henry Hutton
Landon, Miss Roosevelt attended
many affairs. Wednesday evening
of her stay in New York she kept
late hours at Sherry's, but by
o'clock Thursday morning she was
dressed to attend the funeral of
Mrs. Laura d'OremieAulx, who was
mother of Mrs. ]. West Roosevelt,
cousin of the president. The
funeral was very. quiet and was
held from the modest apartment
where Mrs. dOremieulx has re-

She Is punctual, almost to a minute

HELD FOR MURDER
HE CUTS HIS THROAT

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 15.-Matt
Johnson, accused of the killing of
Fred j. Hollock, after an alterca-
ton in North End saloon, at
tempted to commit suicide in the
county Jail by slashing his throat
with razor
The prisoners are allowed to
shave themselves once each week,
and this was the regular shaving
day. While using the razor, John
son attempted to cut his throat.
The wound he inflicted was very
slight, however, and the sheriff's
office is inclined to believe that the
suicide attempt was only a SYM
nathy play.

against none of whom was there
any evidence, and threatened to
shoot them. But Q little frightened
by Mexico's evident determination,
he finally backed down.
A recent instance of Cabrera's
villainy is told by DIR. Eornos Diaz,
former secretary of state for Hon.
duras, who. In an appeal TO the CIV
ilized nations of America, asks that
Pa stop be put to the Guatemalan
butcheries.
DR.. Diaz asserts that John Bin
ELI, an Italian subject, was recently
poisoned in his cell, by order of
Cabrera, after being imprisoned for
over year. simply because of
quarrel he and Cabrera had had in
which a woman was involved.
Binelli, says DR.. Diaz. was i'm
prisoned on charge OF "having
conspired against the life of Ca
brera." After several months in
Jail, he learned through friendly
jailer that It would be death for
him to eat any more of the food
sent to him, as Cabrera had or
dered that it be poisoned. There
after Binelli lived on food given
him by other prisoners and on raw
eggs which friends were able to
smuggle in to him.
Cabrera was determined the Ital-
ian should die. So he had all polit-
ical prisoners put in small separate
cells. Binelli had to eat prison fare
or starve. Desperate from hunger,
he finally partook of some of the
food For "a hours the other pris-
oners heard his agonized screams,
| then he was still. The next morning
his body was seen hanging by the
neck from the bars of his cell. 1t
was given out that he had commit
ted suicide. The Italian minister
was so notified. An autopsy on the
body showed that Binelli had been
poisoned with arsenic.
Cabrera has very little use for
people from the United States, and
any of Uncle Sans subjects who
make long stays in his country
have to be mighty careful who they
talk to, or they are apt to find
themselves in the cells reserved for
'"political prisoners

PRESIDENT CABRERA, cUATE-
MALA's BUTCHER, EMPTIEs
MORE PRISONS WITH SHOT
GUNs-PoisON HIS LATEST
. WEAPON AGAINST ENEMIES.

Special Correspondsnce TO The Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-There are
assassinations and massacres of
Cabrera, the Guatemala butcher,
to continue?
Is the president of this little Cen.
trail American republic to be al.
lowed to rule his people like an orr
ntal monarch of the middle ages,
chopping off heads, poisoning peo.
pie, shooting them down in patches,
to crafty personal spites and per.
sonal enmities?
Here in this city are hundreds OF
Guatemalans who have fled beyond
the borders of their own country to
save their own lives. Other hun
dreds are in other Mexican cities
in Nicaragua, in California, any
where that the bloody hand OF
President Cabrera cannot reach out
and drag them back to the torture
chambers and the shambles of his
prisons.
The atrocities of this inhuman
despot have been known all over
Central America and Mexico fol-
several years. During the last few
months his reign of terror has
grown worse. Hardly a week now
passes without story of a batch oil
political prisoners being dragged
into some Jail yard and shot to
death.
Many of these were men whom
Cabrera suspected were his rivals
or friends of his rivals. Few were
given any trial at all.
Uncle Sam is apparently too busy
with other affairs to pay any atten
ton to this little monster of the
Monroe doctrine family. Mexico y
zoo inert. The Central American
countries are too weak.
In May of 1907 Mexico did come
cry near going to war with Guate
