zELAYA'S ARMY
HAS SURRENDERED
Nearly Two Thousand Soldiers
Taken Prisoners by Estrada's Forces
Six Hundred Killed and Wounded
BY WILLIAM A. DEVERALL.
(Staff Correspondent Of the United
Press and Detroit Tjmes)

BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua. via wire
less to Colon, Dec. 22.-The army un-
der Gen. Estrada has won a sweeping
victory near Rama. and the entire
loyal army, formerly commanded by
Gen. Vasquez, has surrendered with
al OF their stores, after being defeat
ed all along the line by Estrada's
army. The wounded and prisoners
are being sent here. while Estrada
and his men are preparing for an i'm
mediate advance on Managua. Among
the captives are two Of the Zelayan
generals. 1900 men, four field pieces
and many rifles and ammunition. The
killed and wounded exceed COO
There is great rejoicing here and
't is believed that the end of the sue
cossful revolution is already in sight.
Surgeons from the United States war
ships are caring for the wounded
Estrada's army began an organized
attack on Dec. 90 on the outposts OF
the Zelayan forces under Gen Con
zales. These were defeated and rout,
ed and 200 men were captured or kill
ed.
Fighting continued throughout that
day and the day following until the
Zelayan forces surrendered. II Is re-
ported In Dluehelds that former gen.
eral OF the Nicaraguan forces. Vas
quez. has been imprisoned in Mana
qua.
It is now believed that Estrada will
push on at once TO Managua TO secure
control Of the Pacific side OF the coun-
try, which is the stronghold of the
government. Although the Zelayan
army was practically concentrated at
Rama. and the biggest part of his
forces have been captured. Il is pos
sible that Estrada may yet meet with
serious resistance particularly on the
part OF adheronts OF Madriz, who are
numerous and have by their former
mancuvers shown their determination
to retain their leader in the presi-
dency.
If fighting follows i'm Managua and
ether points adjacent to the Pacific
coast. II is possible that a condition OF
cnaos greater than any yet anticipated
will ensue. On the other hand, il is
hoped that an agreement may be
reached by Estrada and Madriz where
by further conflict may be obviated.

CHARGES PLOT
IN EMF DEAL
Attorney Stevenson Says Studebaker
Stockholders Tried To Bankrupt
Detroit Company.

KALAMAZOO. Mich. Dec. 22.-
Especial. I'm his argument before
Judge Henry +. Severens. in the
United States circuit court today. At
torney Eliot q. Stevenson charged the
mobile Co. OF South Bend. Ind, with
attempting to bankrupt the Everett
Metzger-Flanders Automobile Co.
Stephenson said the South Bend
company influenced the directors OF
the Detroit concern TO increase the
holdings to s12.000,000 on a statement
that they could dispose or 10000 ma
chimes each year. but instead the sales
fell off 700 cars in October and No
vember. Stevenson said the contract
between the Studebaker Co. and the
EMF Co. was not made as an organ
ization but as individuals and there
fore is illegal
The officers OF the EMF Co. ac-
cording to its attorney. are hampered
by the Studebaker Co. in dispos!ng or
its machines and appointing agents.
Stevenson asserted that the whole pro
ceeding was tainted with illegality
His argument was on the motion OF
the Studebaker Co. to enforce the
terms OF the contract made with the
EMF Co.
The Studebakers rely on the orig
inal contract for the sale of 5000 r.
M-F machines year. claiming the en-
tire output on that contract. Since
that contract was made the EMF Co.
has been greatly enlarged and 1t now
seeks release and has undertaken to
sell It's own machines. To prevent
this the Studebakers secured the in
junction.
At noon today Judge Severens said
that he desired further arguments of
counsel confined to these issues:
Would the interests of the cor
poration be preserved in resembling
the action Of the lower court?
2-Were the directors of tho cor
poration acting in bad faith In control
of affairs?
3-Whether the contract Of 1905 was
superseded by the later agreements.

MAYOR TO FIGHT
COUNCIL CLIQUE
Indications Are for Break Between
Breitmeyer and One Faction
of the Aldermen.

AS a result of the action OF a ma
jority of the aldermen present Tuesday
night I'm voting down the resolution
TO pay the bill OF the committee OF
ffty, II would not surprise those who
are in touch with city hall politics TO
have an open rupture break out be-
tween Mayor Breitmeyer and the fac
tion OF the council which is headed by
Aid. Gilman and Goeschel.
There Is q great deal OF patronage
directly or indirectly at the disposal
OF the mayor and this may prove a
potent weapon II a break comes.
The council Is not now divided on
party lines, the democrats as well as
the republicans being split on most
questions. And the vote on the COM
mittee OF flftys bill Is not the first
symptom OF the strained condition.
Ever since he took office Mayor
Breitmyeer has manifested his impa-
tience with the Gilman Goeschel fac
tion for their disposition TO hold up
important matters. He did not omit
to state his views in regard to the
long delay in awarding brick and other
material contracts and sent his opin-
ion regarding the delay OF the Michi-
gan Central station site settlement In
a message To the council.
There has been anything but
united support of the mayors policies
among the republican members OF tho
council and the feeling has grown
more acute since Aid. Gilman and City
Clerk Nichols collaborated In the pro
duction OF the Gilman Nichols offer TO
the ID. u. r.
In the vote OF Tuesday night on the
committee OF fifty's report several al
dermen who usually stand by the
mayor opposed him temporarily be-
cause they wished additional guaran-
tees These will doubtless be includ-
ed in an amendment which will sat
isfy enough aldermen to give the
mayor majority next Tuesday.
