COLLISION DAMAGES ARE
SCHEDULED AT S16,500
Federal Judge Hands Down Decision
In Case Involving Sinking of
Columbia

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-After
limiting the liability of the Metropoli-
tan Lumber company to $16500 for

company's steam schooner San Pedro

DECLARE CANNON AND
GR0CE NOT TORTURED
BY ORDER OF ZELAYA

MANAGUA, Dec. 29.-Recent reports
that Groce and Cannon, the American
recruits in the insurgent army, VIII,
President Zelaya, were tortured betol e
being shot are untrue.
The facts were in the possession of
the state department at Washington
a month ago, and it was generally sup
posed here that the details of the
tragedy had been given publication
through official channels.
AS it is, advantage has been taken
of the opportunity, in some instances,
to paint picture more interesting
than truthful.
The glory of Capt. Anibal Chaves,
who refused to obey an order to take
command of the firing squad, is dimmed
somewhat by the light of known cir
cumstances. Generals Toledo, Medina
and Irias had implored zelaya to
abandon his purpose of shooting the
Americans.
Zelaya, however, could not be in
fuenced. Gen. Toledo finally ordered
Capt. ChaVes not to assume COM
mand of the squad. Chaves chose TO
obey Toledo rather than the president,
and as a consequence was arrested and
held in Jail for six weeks. Upon his
release Chaves made the most of the
episode.
Notified of Doom
Groce and Cannon were notified of
the death sentence at 10:30 on the night
of November 15. They were executed
at 10 o'clock the following morning.
AS they were marched out of the
fortress a drizzle of rain fell. On the
way to the scene of execution they
passed the open graves that had been
prepared for them.
At one time Groce stepped out of lire
of march and pleaded with Gen. Me-
dina:
"Do not shoot me; am a brothe
Mason"
Cannon quickly seized his companion,
and pulling him back into line said:
"Brace up old man; we have no
chance under Zelaya's orders"
Standing in the center of the square
formed by 100 soldiers the two men
heard their sentence read from the four
corners, together with the usual warn
ing in such cases:
anyone displaying evidence of SYM
pathy will be shot in a similar fashion, -
Prisoners Bound
The hands of the condemned men
were bound and their eyes blindfolded.
Cannon shook his head, attempting to
prevent the bandage being placed over
his face, but his protest was unaviling.
They were seated on a low bench
side by side. The firing squad was
made up of twelve soldiers, who all
vanced in three rows within six feet of
their victims.
Capt Constantine Saenz, in command,
instructed two soldiers at the right to
fire upon Groce and two soldiers at the
left to fire on Cannon.
All four bullets were effective. Groce
was shot through the heart and death
was instantaneous. The bullets in
tended for Cannon tore the breast and

by these physicians, because it's use

Avoid Taking
Gold

If people would only use Or
dinary precautions the toll of
disease and death directly trace
able to neglected colds would
not be nearly so heavy. Learn
to breathe properly-don't ex-
pose the person needlessly TO
sudden changes of temperature,
dampness and draughts. Get
busy with the first sneeze and
check a cold before it reaches
the lungs. A simple remedy,
and one that is highly recon-
mended, is made by mixing two
ounces of Glycerlne, half ounce
of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure and eight ounces of pure
Whisky. You can buy these in
any good drug store and easily
mix them in large bottle. 1t
is claimed by the Leach Chem
ical Co. Of Cincinnati, who pre-
pare the genuine Virgin Oil of
Pine compound pure, that tea
spoonful of this mixture four
times a day, will break up a cold
I'm twenty-four hours and cure
any cough that is durable.

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER.


An ideal newspaper for the Ameri-
can home must be habitually clean and
highminded, it must offer something
of interest to every member of the
family, and it must present daily the
news of the whole world in authentic
and readable form. A large contract,
you will say. Well, the newspaper
that comes nearest to filing it in the
West is The Chicago Record Herald
It's moral tone is always high, its news
service is unsurpassed, and probably
no other paper in the United States
has so brilliant an array of special
features suited to the tastes and needs
of every member of the family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded The Record Herald as
the best paper for their own reading
because of it's unequsled faculty for
getting all the news of the world and
putting it into the briefest possible
form for the busy man. They also
esteem it for the reliability of its IL
nancial, agricultural and market re-
ports. Young men perhaps find its
greatest attraction in the excellent
sporting department, which fills four
entire pages on Sunday and page or
more on other days. Wives and
mothers emphatically prefer The Rec
ord Herald on account of it's well-con-
Quoted feminine departments-its daily
recipes and menus, its daily fashion
news and hints for home dressmaking,
Nine. Qui Wives pungent and sensible
beauty talks, Marion Harland's famous
page and the rest of the good things
that make up the handsome Woman's
Section in the Sunday paper. Children
enioy the Little Memo and other Coluic
Section pictures, with the bri G h
stories for boys and girls every Sun
day. And all the family together can
enjoy the interesting travels and spec
ial articles of William E. Curtis, Mr.
Kiser's humor and verse, the serial
stories and many similar features out
sideathe news columns.
The Chicago Record Herald has
every right to call itself the best all
round family newspaper in the West

the book. But if, as is general
ly the case, the student seeks ac-
quaintance with subject rather
than book, he will gain by
reading several treatises at the
same time, weighing and com
pairing their conclusions. The
reader should rather pick out
some period or character and
study that in its relations to the
history as whole.
We may select, for instance,
the Rev. of the Gracchi, the
Career of Pompey, or even a
personality as lll-reputed as Cat
lime, comparing the different
treatment of each at the hands
of the great historians. No one
can do this without soon dlscov-
ering that he has hit upon
method of studing history that
possesses all the charm of his
torical fiction; more, even, for
he finds himself unconsciously
becoming his own novelist, and
recreating in his own magma
ton the scenes and characters OF
pa t ages. A single trial will
prove to any student or teacher
the superiority, in interest, of
the topical and comparative, over
the chronological and consecu-
tive method Of studying history.
