SKELETON IN ATTIC
OF INSANE ASYLUM

Nework, n. j., Dec. ia skeleton
IN the attic Of the county insane asy-
lum here has proved so effective a wit
ness that the grand jury handed down
a presentment characterizing Dr. Dan

DR.. Dill was unable to account for the
skeleton, which is that of a woman. No

must be that of a visitor, and recon-
mends that the investigation be con-
tinued.

the genial hUmor in which the shafts

wide divergence, were present at the

Intervention Only Hope.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec IA staff
correspondent Of the Associated Press
who recently arrived here, has canvassed
the situation and finds it less hopeful for
the insurgents than had been believed.
General Estrada is greatly disturbed
and has appealed to United States Con-
sui Moffat for bluejackets from the
cruiser Des Moines to protect Americans
1t is known, however, that what he
really wishes is intervention by the Unit
ed States to save the insurgents. cause.
While General VasqueZ at the head or
a handful Of loyal troops, was parleying
with Estrada's ENJOYS before Rama, It
is said the main army OF Zelaya was
marching on Bluefields
A disuuietng report comes from Grey
town, which Is said to contain a govern
ment force sufficient to rout the besieg-
ing troops under General ChamorTo when
ever the word is given.
It is possible that the PROFESSIONALS are
unduly alarmed, just as they appear to
have been over-cOnfident, but the situa-
ton is set forth as it is viewed from the
insurgents standpoint.
