Breathes Spirit of Peace For Christ-
mas season. ..
New York. Dec. 24-"we have
abolished slavery but there remains
the greater sin OF the killing of man
by man. 1t devolves upon our race to
teach the civilized world that inter-
national disputes must be settled by
law and the reign of international
peace established. This is the most
propitious time for spreading such
thoughts over the world"
This in brief is the Christmas greet
ing that Andrew Carnegie sends to the
world. As a iealer In the cause OF
peace he expressed his views freely
tonight with the hope that President
Taft will appoint a committee to con-
fer with other nations with a view to
stopping the constant increase in
ornaments.

washington, Dec. i24.-While the
news OF Zelayas Night from Managua
was received with the liveliest inter-
asst in Central American diplomatic
circles tonight. there was signil-
cant lack of interest in both the state
and Navy Departments. The ofncials
merely smiled blandiy .aad refused TO
talk. excusing their reticence by the
fact that this was the Christmas tide.
In view of the note OF Secretary
Knox to the Nicaraguan government,
and Official pointed out tonight there
will be no retraction by this govern
ment In its demand that Zelaya be
caught and held personally response

This telegram was preceded by one
from United States Consul Moffat at
BIuefields. which indicated that a
desperate situation existed among the
prisoners, which called for immed-
tate action. To this Acting Secre-
tary winthrop replied by sending the
following instruction to Captain Ship
Icy via navy wireless station at CO.

eurate list OF the supplies furnished

penses."
A dispatch from Captain Shipiey
dated this morning shows that he is
promptly meeting the situation BY
minimizing the danger from epidemic
through cleaning the town and segre-
eating the soldiers at point outside
the city. Soup kitchens for feeding
the people have been established un-
der the superintendent OF Comman-
der Niblack. who is given credit In
the telegram for the suggestion. This
course Is made necessary from the fact
that proper food supplies cannot be
had in Bluefelds.

land in a substantial berth And be-
cause Loeb couldn't be made secretary
of the navy-owing to previous mort
gages-he is now headed toward the
collectorship of the port of New York;
which isn't bad direction to be going
toward, since it pays fat stipend and
since it was Chester A. Arthur's step
ptnb stone to the vice presidency which,
in turn, was a stepping stone to the
presidency.
Loeb has a right to hope to be presi-
dent. Cortelyou has a very clear eX-
pectatiOn on the same subject. Where
fore, the latest presidential timber to
be projected into the limelight-presi-
Dental timber because of the job he
is to holds Fred w. Carpenter.
Thus are correspondence schools in
stenography permitted to add another
picture to that advertisement which
shows the prominent men who started
toward fame via the shorthand route.
May Be Cabinet Member
Carpenter may be a cabinet member,
too, pretty soon. 1t is quite a habit.
Cleveland started it when he raised
Daniel S. Lamont to the secretaryship
of war.
No appointment in the new presiden-
tial regime will be more generally sane
toned than that of Fred W. Carpenter
for the post of chief aid in the business
establishment at the White House. Car
penter has been for 10 years past the
fright hand man. of William H. Taft
and has earned the promotion that will
place him at the head of the business
staff at the executive offices-a staff
made up of AZ assistant secretaries,
clerks, telephone and telegraph opera
tors, messengers. etc
Both in personality and business
methods, Carpenter will frequently be
compared to George B. Cortelyou,
who serving in this same position un-
der the administration of the late
President Mckinley. raised the posi-
ton of secretary to the president to
the plane of Importance of cabinet
portfolio. Fred Warner Carpenter,
worthy successor of Cortelyou,
strongly resembles the latter in tenn
permanent. Quiet, dignified and a
trif1e reserved in manner, with sug-
gestfon of tremendous reserve power,
Carpenter is ever tactful and diplo-
matte, yet he has the faculty of being
firm when occasion requires. The
new secretary to the president also
has Cortelyou's love ana prodigious
canacitv for hard work. Like Cortel-
you too, he is a self-made young man
and his meteoric rise had much the
same beginning, with skill in steno-
graphy as the first stepping stone.
He Is Young Man.
Carpenter, who will be 81 years of
age next December is a native of the
