WARMERS PROSECUTOR
TREADS TH0RNY PATH

CINCINNATI, o.. Dec. 17.-Another
obstacle has been encountered by Prose
cutor Hunt in his efforts TO discover
what became of the S643,000 embezzIed
from the "Big Four" railroad by
Charles l.. Warriner, former local treas.
urer.
According to statement given out
by the prosecutor tonight, Henry Clews
q Co. New York brokers, through whom
Warriner claims to have lost vast sums
in speculation, have refused to allow
their books to be examined.
The brokers claim that 90 Big Four
accountant has already received all the
information they have, but according to
Mr.. Hunt all the railroad officials, too,
could get slip showing that Warriner
lost $4,000 on the stock market. As
more than 100000 Of the defalcation
remains unaccounted for, Warmer S

DENIES THAT TAFT
SHOWS STATESMANSHIP

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 President
Taft, in his recent message, denied that
the recent and constantly increasing
cost Of living is due to a protective
tariff, statement which proves nothing
so clearly as that his training as a
lawyer has not made of HIM a states"
man. still less political economist. -
John Bigclow, former ambassador to
France, statesman, diplomat and author,
thus criticises the president in a letter
written To the Civic Forum. whose an
nual banquet was held in New York to-
night. Mentally alert, though in his
ninety second year, Mr.. Bigclow gave
his views by letter, because he was uu-
able 20 attend
Mr.. Bigelow IN his letter SAYS:
How will he (Taft) explain the re.
cent extraordinary impulse given to the
white slave traffic, except by the tariff,
which compels women TO abandon their
proper home life and take refuge in
factories of protected industries for
their daily bread. or else, if not in CON
sequence, abandon themselves to a life
of shame

ZELAYA'S RESIGNATION
MAY END THE WAR

BLUEFIELDS, Mic, Dec. 1.-THE
news Of President Zelaya IS resignation
contained in an Associated Press dis
patch, was the first Intlmation here Of
this important development, which, it
is believed, is fraught with roseate pos,
sibilities for the speedy capitulatiGn of
General Vasquez and the complete tri-
umphs Of General Estrada.
The immediate effect of the news was
TO make it certain no battle will take
place for some days. pending negotia-
tions that General Estrada S advisers
urge him to offer in assuring Vasque2
that it will be useless further to resist,
as Zelaya's resignation leaves him no
cause to uphold.
It is considered here that this is
the psychological moment for American
recognition of the insurgents.
There is high hope that General Vas.
quez quickly Will accept an offer of
personal immunity when he learns OF
Iclaya s resignation,
Vasquez is not ambitious to become
president. He is a close personal friend
Of Estrada and has been furnishing him
with wine and camp luXurics, A COM
bination between Estrada and Vasquez
would leave DR. Madriz the only other
presidential factor in the field. East
Nicaragua, however, is said to distrust
Madriz, and the force of alleged revolu-
tiOnists favoriDg him are said to have
been furnished by Zelaya to weaken Es-
trada.
Mexico. it is said, secretly favors
Zelaya and is suspected Of an attempt
to further the candidacy of Madriz,
knowing that he is tool Of Zelaya.
AS this dispatch was being sent, Adol-
70 Diaz was telephoning Estrada at
Rama of Zelaya s resignation and was
urging upon the general the course out
lined in this dispatch. 1t may be some
hours before General Vasquez can be
reached for a conference with Estrada,
but rapid developments are expected.
