DEATH BY PHONE
Is FIENDISH SCHEME

san Francisco Sept. 1S.-Dlabol-
cal cunning seems to have surpassed
itself in fiendish ingenuity in the lat
est method Of assassination.
Death by telephone is the most re-
cent invention of the assassin and was
devised for President Cabrera, of
Guatemala according to the state
ments of the officers OF the City Of
Para, which arrived here today.
Tn revolutlonists in the plot hit up
on a new way OF accomplishing death
when they attached a wire to the
telephone in Caberera's office and
connected the other end with an in
fetnal machine hidden In another part
of the room. This Is supposed to have
been accomplished during the night,
and there was nothing in the ap-
pearance of the room to intimate that
sudden death had been so cunningly
prepared for the dictator.
Soon after CABRERA entered the room
the telephone bell rang. Whether
the plotters had themselves called the
presidents number or had left that
to chance and the ordinary routine
OF the day has not been discovered.
Answering the call, Cabrera took the
receiver off the hook and on the in
s:ant came an explosion that shatter-
ed the desk and flung the president
against the wall The device OF the
would-be assasslns had worked as
they had planned, but their victim
escaped with a few bruises.
For want OF a better clew the po-
lice arrested five Salvadoreans on
suspicion. Their immediate execU-
tion was ordered, but the American
minister at Guatemala intervened and
the sentence was commuted to ban
ishment and the five were placed on
board the City Of Para and taken to-
Acajutla, where they went ashore.

Oskaloosa, Ia, Sept. 1S.-Major
John f. Lacey, who has been chosen
by the "stand-pat republicans of
Iowa to lead in the senatorial fight
against Governor Cummins. is proba-
bly, the most representative conserva-
tive in the state
For many years Major Lacey rep
resented this district in congress, be-
ing chairman Of the public lands COM
mittee of the house. He Is best known
as author of the Lacey bird law and
of the law regulating and protecting
the labor of coal miners in the terri
tories.
Major Lacey was first choice of
many Of the republicans although
several Of the leaders urged Secretary
Wilson and Governor Jackson to en-
ter the race for the toga of the late
Senator Allison. over the state gem
orally Lacey has been looked upon as
the logical heir of the "Nestor' of the
senate and it Is declared that he
could duplicate Senator Allisons re-
puted feat of walking from Iowa to
Washington on the keys Of a piano
and never sounding a note.

has received a communication from
f.. L. Stewart Of Prosser, Wash, for

State Horticultural association, rec
ommendlng that steps be taken to get
good representative exhibits in the

His letter in part Is:

1T seems to me that this is a grand
opportunity for the different apple
districts OF the northwest to show
their faith in their claims Of growing
superior apples.
81 think the matter should be
brought to the attention Of the COM
merclal clubs Of the different districts
with a view Of taking the matter up
and getting the best equipped grower
in each district to enter the competi-

at Is certainly the best opportunity

URGING GOOD ROADS
CRUSADE ON POMONA
City's Situation at Extreme End of
County Has Made Citizens Skep-
tlcaI as to Getting Share
of Benefits
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
POMONA, July 20.-The Pomona
board of trade is holding an interest
ing meeting tonight. The question of
bonding this county for good roads is
the topic up for consideration and a
general discussion of the proposition is
going on. Messrs. c. D. Daggett of
Pasadena, president of the State Good
Roads association; E. A. Loder, chief
engineer of the highway commission
of Los Angeles county, and j. M. Eddy
of Stockton, secretary of the state as
ISOLATION, are present, giving sound in
formation on the subject.
Ii is known throughout the county
that Pomona people are bit skeptical
of the three million and a half bonding
proposition, and they are entitled to
their skepticism. Pomona is at the
extreme end of the county and knows
from past experience that she receives
little consideration from the super
visors. The action of the supervisors
in appointing an advisory board of
fourteen men does not help Pomona,
for the nearest representatives on this
board are George d. Whitcomb and
A. P. Griffiths of Azusa and Glendora.
The good roads proposition will have
the hearty support of very large ma
jority of voters If they can be shown
that the city and vicinity will receive
its share of benefits. A mass meeting
is to be called later and will be adj
dressed by Mr.. Eddy.
