movement. He has been operating from
Salvador and Guatemala. and both these
countries have been informed OF his reyo-
lutionary activities. The Presidents OF
Salvador and Guatemala, acting upon the
information received from the United
States, as well as from other sources.
have taken steps to prevent ex-President
Bonilla from using their respective coun-
tries as bases Of operations.

in Washington. was informed by mis- gov
ernment 20 lay the matter befoce the
State Department and request that an
American gunboat be sent TO Honduran
waters, to prevent Bonilla from carving

Acting in accordance with Secretary
Roots policy 10 insist upon the mainte-
| nance OF order in Central America. the
State Department advised both Salvador
and Guatemala To take measures TO head
on the proposed revolution.
There are many American commercial
interests in Honduras. and If the re
ported revolution assumes a DANGEROUS
| aspect an American golnboat will be sanr

Acting Secretary Adee.
Minister Herrarte. Of Guatemala, denied
that any aid or encouragement was being
given to the Bonilla movement within the

BRYAN IN TAFT's OWN STATE.
n. Y. Central Threatens Employees IL
Bryan Is Elected.

Marietta, Ohio, Oct. 22.-Monster
crowds and lustry cheering was
Ohio's greeting of William J. Bryan
yesterday. Inspired by the fact that
he was literally carrying his warfare
into the camp Of his political enemy,
he spoke with great y!gorousness.
While still in bed a newspaper was
handed into his stateroom and Mrs.
Bryan read to him dispatch stating
the New York Central Railroad sys-
tenn Is threatening it's employers with
reduction OF wages If he (Bryan) Is
elected, but promised an increase in
work and wages If he Is defeated.
This was his cue for the day, and
he pitilessly fired broadside after
broadside into the Republicans for
their tactics. While talking to a vast
throng IN Youngstown, big card
signed by number of workers in the
steel plants was sent up to him bear
ing the message: I'VE can't be with
you to-day. but we will on November
3D."
Taft got his share Of criticisms,
particularly in the matter Of cam
paign contributions and his attitude
regarding trusts and labor.

AEROPLANEs FOR EVERYBODY.
English Balloonist Says They Will
Cost Only $500 Each.

London, Oct 25.-In less than ten
years aeroplanes will cost no more
than $500, Is the prediction made by
Frank Hedges Butler, the we'll known
English balloonist, who has just re-
turned from LIE Mans, where he made
an ascent in Wilbur Wright's aero
plane. Mr.. Butler thus continues his
glimpse into the future:
Lighthouses on land will be erect
ed by the trinity board. To mark the
way at night lamps on aeroplanes or
fiiers will be used. With the smaller
planes the speed will be terrific-200
miles an hour-and the 21 miles
across the English channel will mean
a very few minutes. Winds at sea
blow more steadily than on land, and
aeroplanes can be made to float on
the water and raise themselves. If
such machines now can carry what Is
equal to three passengers, there is
no reason why an aeroplane should
not carry more with larger planes
and engines.

ests Of Central Africa, Australia and
the Sahara Desert will be new fields
for the explorer to glide over"
