tion OF the two Americans and this
action of my government was per-

mand Of a military Jury and not by
direct order from the president of the
republic. as ii seems the purpose of
the press to establish When Presi-
dent Zelaya has disappeared from the
Central American scene it is very
probable that President Cabrera of
may have strong power
or control in the politics of that re-
gion. -
Estrada Cabrera-the dictator of
Central AmeriCa-that is what Min
lister Castro sees in the latest step of
the American government in severing
diplomatic relations with Nicaragua.
While Minister Castro would not
answer direct question to the effect
that this was the purpose of the
United States for interposing now, he
would admit that the downfall of
President Zelaya would Increase the
power of the present ruler of Guate-
nala and would make him the dom

The police learned that the young

to direct her to a downtown hotel,
telling them that she was in serious
trouble. They did so and later she

ceived money from him or not Is not

The girl today reiterated her story
that she had run away from a con
vent and an investigation showed that
she had been wearing pair of gym

to report that the young woman
had escaped in a dress taken from
another girls room which she had

GREAT CONSTITUTIONAL
STRUGGLE ON IN ENGLAND
Resolution Adopted by Com
monS Declares Peers Have.
USurped Rights Never Before
Challenged in Modern Times,

IBy Morning Journal special Leased wirel
London, Dec. 2-By a majority Of
235 the house Of commons today re-
corded its claim to exclusive control
of the nation \ purSe-~a claim never
before challenged i'm modern times.
The vote was taken on a resolution
offered by Premier Asquth, which de-
clared that the action of the house
of lords in refusing to pass into law
the fiscal provisions made by the
chamber for the expenses of the year
was a breach of the constitution and
an usurpation of the rights of the
house of commons.
The resolution was passed by a
vote of 349 to III.
BY this vote the opposing forces of
the lords and commons are placed in
battle array for one of the greatest
constitutional struggles that has come
before the country for centuries.
Mr.. Balfour, leader of the opposi-
ton, evidently was suffering from the
effects of his indisposition, and did
not speak at his best His speech
lacked the ring Of sincerity and con-
viction that characterized the prime
ministers The later nad an easy
task in pouring ridicule upon what lie
described as a new tangled Caesar
ism''-"this arrogant usurRation" OF
the house of lords.
The premier's ironical reference to
the instinct of divination' of the
peers on reaching manhood dissolved
his hearers in laughter. He quoted
with trenehant effect the speech of
Mr.. BalfoHf less than q year ago in
which the eX-prenier declared him
self as a house of commons man"
and said.
1t is the house Of commons, not
the house of lords. which settles our
financial system n the house of
lords could touch lie money bills The
whole executive machinery would be

When the peace conference was called
in Washington two years ago, Presi-
dent Zelaya, convinced of the neces-
ity of putting a competent man here
to look out for Nicaragua's interests,
offered Madrz $4,000 a year to re-
turn to the service of that country,
which he promptly did.
1t is plain to us President Zelaya
is desirous of finding a man whom he
can comamnd to put in the presidents

This is the note John Patterson

articles, wanted to throw him into

Patterson found the young woman
weeping on a doorstep near his home

she had been in Chicago only few

He purchased a dinner for her and
then allowed her to use his room

TRAVELS OF A NEEDL E
Circulated the Entire Lenth of a
WOman's Body.

Chicago, June 1.-Just % years ago,
when Mrs. J. w. Knee was a girl liv-
ing at the home of her parents, she
stepped on a needle, burying it in her
right heel. Yesterday the steel silver,
after circulating upward the entire
length of her body. made its appear
ance about as far removed as possible
from the point where it entered and
was removed without causing any
sensation other than surprise.
The needle, as bright as when new,
was taken out, point first, from the
flesh a few inches below Mrs. Knee
left arm, it having crossed from the
right side of her body and in all
probability started on a downward
course.
During all the years it was in her
body it had never created any physical
disturbances unless a temporary attack
of supposed rheumatism-the only at
tack of the kind Mrs Knee ever ex-
perienced-can be attributed to the
rankings of the steel point.

WILL TRY DRY FARMING
Desert Lands in Mexico May Be Made
Productive by the System.

Chicago, June 1.-The mesas and high
plateaus Of New Mexico, long consid-
cred as merely desert land and worth
less, are inviting territory for dry
farming, according to Prof J. D. Tins
ley, soil physicist and field expert of
the New Mexico Agricultural college.
According to Prof. Tinsley, dry farm
ing methods, while never dignified with
any title, are not new in New Mexico.
The Mexicans, and before them the
Indians, have practiced them for gen
erations, especially in the culture of
corn and beans.
The Indians, who first taught these
lessons, usually chose ground at the
lower end of the arroyos, thereby TAX
ing advantage of the natural mulch of
the soil and the moisture left by the
food waters. The Mexicans called the
work in these regions temporal farm
ing long before the title of dry farm
ing was applied
Many Mexicans have made a special
study of the preservation of moisture
and are very successful. The Indian,
however makes little or no effort to aid
nature in the storage and conservation
of the moisture in the soil That he
has left for the scientific farmer, such
as Prof Tinsley, to work out.
