zELAYA YIELDS TO POWER
Nicaraguan President Submits,
Though Condemned Unheard
Calls Protest Against Shooting of
of Americans who Were With In
~ surgents a Mere Pretext.


Managua, Nicara qua. THE United
States unjustly condemns my admin
istration, said President Zelaya in
an interview II proposed to Secre-
tary of State Knox that he submit the
case to the investigation of commit
tee of his own choosing, agreeing to
surrender my rights to the Presidency
if the charges in his letter to Isidoro
Hezera, former Nicaraguan Minister
to the United States, were sustained.
Secretary Knox has not replied.
"Defenseless against the hostility
OF powerful nation, must submit,
although l have been condemned un-
heard.
This coercion by the United States
will not rebound to the'credit of that
nation, whose motives are questioned
in all Latin-America. The shooting OF
Groce and Cannon is pretext. Both
were amenable to the law of Nicara-
qua, which distinctly authorizes the
shooting of individuals commanding
rebels. II is different If person is
captured during the course of an in
ternational war. The attempt OF Sec
rotary Knox to establish the inviola-
bility of the persons of Americans
participating in foreign revolutions
will result in constant revolutions led
by immune Americans.
"The initiative in the shooting of
Groce and Cannon was not mine.
simply refused to extend clemency to
them after a properly constituted mill
itary tribunal had passed upon the
case.
While l am ready to surrender
the Presidency" continued President
Zelaya, II cannot do it precipitately,
as it would result in uprisings by
several factions, each of which is
eager to secure power.
Il am in negotiations with the
revolutionists to secure their indorse-
ment to a successor who will be ae-
ceptable to al parties, and have sub
mitted the name of Jose Madriz,
Judge of the Carriage court.
II hope this will obviate the neees-
sity for American intervention, which
would be distinctly distasteful to the
whole of Latin-America. I am in
formed that it is the intention Of the
United States to prevent my leaving
Nicaragua I do not believe this.
1t is reported that the revolution
lists will reject Senior Madriz as Ze-
laya's successor and insist upon Cen
eral Estrada assuming the Presi-
dency, declaring that the United
States has promised to furnish 1000
marines at Bluefields TO bring about
his success.

WOMAN LAWYERS DEATHPART4
Given Before an Operation She Knew
Would Prove Fatal.

Springfield, Mo.-Determined that
none of her social obligations should
remain unpaid at her death, Mrs.
Alma Dodson, social leader, and the
only woman lawyer in this vicinity
invited ali her friends to a farewell
card party and reception Immediately
after being informed by her physician
that she must submit to an operation
that would probably prove fatal.
The party was held the day before
the operation was performed. Smil-
ing and cheerful, Mrs. DoGson was an
admirable hostess, allowing nothing
to disturb the pleasure of her guests
When the party was over and she
had bade her guests goodby, Mrs.
Dodson calmly arranged her personal
effects and picked out the clothing
in which she wished to be attired
after death She went to the hospi-
tai. and the operation which was per-
formed there caused her death.
The funeral was attended by the
members Of the Springfield Bar Asso-
citation.

BAILEY PROPOSES
NIGHT SESSIONS.

Some interest was injected into the
Senate proceedings by the announce
ment of Senator Bailey, of Texas, that
he had become enamored of the Gus
tom of the British Parliament of
meeting in the evening The Texan
said he realized the futility of asking
the Senate to conform to that custom
just now, but urged that the custom
airy rule providing that the Senate
shall meet at "12 meridian" be
amended to read 20 post meridian. !"
Mr. Bailey did not put his suggestion
in the form of G motion, and the
usual rule was adopted. 1t is safe
prediction that "the British idea" will
find little favor in the upper house,
although its sponsor purposes to press
his suggestion later on.

In one of those graceful and fe1ic-
itous speeches for which his name is
everywhere celebrated Lord Rosebery
sion to the SINNERS Company by
discussing the institutions of the
country There are many whe spend
their lives in attacking the ancient
traditions and the political and social
establishments OF Britain Their
work is ineffective; they do not
realize the strength of the institu-
lions which they have marked down
for destruction, nor do they under
stand that those very institutions in
which they see no good are really
of great advantage. They are sincere
in their opposition, but they are
nevertheless fighting the air The
life of politician is short. The life
of an institution is long. The one
has certain inevitable bounds; the
other need have none so long as, it
adapts itself to the changing needs
of the day. If it does not, If it shows
no signs of progress or of usefulness
it dies; but it dies not from outside
attacks, but from senile decay and
atrophy. AS an example of vigorous
life and adaptability the City Livery
Companies stand as foremost ex-
ample. They have long outlived their
original aims and objects, but they
survive and will continue to survive
because they have found other
spheres of usefulness and the benefit
of their work is cordially recognized
by the country at arge.-London

Bottom of the Boat.

Erie, Pa.-Nine men, frozen to
death, covered with ice, were towed
here by the State Fisheries boat,
Commodore Perry.
The frigid letters that bound them
kept eight of the men seated, stark
and stiff, in the little yawl in which
they had struggled to escape the fate
that overcame them. The ninth of
the dead crew was prone, frozen to
the yawls bottom.
And there had been tenth pas
senger on this hideous voyage, for in
the yawl's bow was found every stitch
of clothing that sailorman on the
Great Lakes wears in this season.
There is little doubt that this tenth.
man, seeing his comrades eyes star
ing at him through films of ice, went
mad, stripped himself and plunged,
to quicker end, in the waters of the
lake.

Thousands of persons swarmed to

procession passed through the prin-

of citizens following.
Conneaut, Ohio, where most of the
men lived, was notified by telephone,
and hundred residents of that city
arrived here and made the following
identifications: H. Thomas, second
cook, Port Stanley; William Ray, J.
w. Souars, waiter; G. r. Smith,
steward; F. Steel, fireman; j. Shenk,
fireman; J. Hart, oiler; O'Hagen,

run by that railroad between Con-

boat left Conneaut with thirty-two
cars of coal aboard and carrying thir-
ty-eight persons. In the gale that
followed, during which at least fifty
two lives were lost on the lakes, the
boat foundered. 1t is supposed that
the boats tossing displaced the coal
cars and they were pitched through
the sides. Then the waves over
