Diplomatic Relations With
Nicaragua Broken Off
U. S. AND MEXICO IN ACCORD
Chief Executive of Central American
Republic Has Not Been Fulfilling
Peace Agreements.

Washington. March l3.-Owing to
the continued disturbed conditions in
Nicarauga and President Zelaya's
failure to make serious efforts looking
to the settlement of the Emery claim,
the state department yesterday by
Withdrawing Mr.. Gregory, the Ameri-
can charge, at Managua, and ordering
the legation placed in the hands of
the consul who will have no diploma
tic capacity, practically broke off di-
plomatic relations with that country
Affairs in Central America have
been closely watched by the American
and Mexican governments, both of
which have now come to an under
standing that the time has arrived
when drastic measures should be en-
forced to insure peace in the Central
American republics. Ambassador lie
Barra of Mexico spent some time at
the state department yesterday in con
ference with Assistant Secretary VIII
son and the determination was reach
ed that if the American warships now
in Nicaraguan waters and to be sent
there are not sufficient TO impress
President Zelaya that the treaty of
peace entered into between the Cen
trail American republics is not to be
lived up to, more radical steps would
be taken to accomplish that result
The impression was given that if need
be Intervention would be resorted TO-.
The governments Of the United States
and Mexico, it was stated, are in full
accord as to the policy to be pursued
toward Nicaragua, and are now antic-
ipating Zelayas further moves.

WENT BACK ON HIS o N
Exasperated Composer Glad to Prove
Words Were False.

George Christie, nephew Of the
noted minstrel man, and himself a
well known composer, says that he
never was sorry but once that he
helped write a song.
When Bert Ftzgibbon came to him
with the lyric of a song called you
Can't Stop Your Heart from Beating
young Christie most enthusiastically
set to work to put music to it, but
now he's sorry. 1t happened this way
Christie occupied the adjoining room
to a newly married couple who were
very much in love.
The husband had learned Christie's
song and all day long he sang it to his
bride. In the morning before break
fast his accordion plated tenor voice
warbled you Can't Stop Your Heart
from Beating for the Girl You Love"
After lunch it was the same and as q
good night solo he rendered it.
The last straw was added to the
camel's back when the bride learned
the song and the love-struck couple
sang the song in barber shop harmony
This was too much for Christie and hi
left the hotel, sorry that he had evel
written the song.
Passing a n%eighboring drug store
an idea struck him, and he entered
and purchased a bottle of carbolit
acid. Wrapping it up in a neat pack
age he presented it through the bell
boy to the honeymooners with q not
that simply read:
"This will stop your heart from
beating. Use it,"

TIE Common Strain.

The stress of life may touch some
lightly, may appear to pass others
by, but most men whom we meet,
with whom we deal, who work for
us or for whom we work, know well
the common stress of humanity. II
in all our human relations this
thought could be kept before us 1t
would revolutionize life. We would
be humanized-ennobled. We would
care for men as lei We could
not escape the Transforming realiza-
ton of an actual brotherhood if we
recalled and thought upon the I'M
deniable fact of our own part in the
universal brotherhood CT the com
mon strain.-Schuyler G. Woodruff, IN

He was an only child. They were

Revision OF Primary Election Law.
The last general assembly enacted o

test in the nomination OF the candidates
for office in the last campaign. Although
there is some difference Of opinion as TO
the ACCESSIBILITY of this legislation. a ma
jority of the people seem 10 favor 1t.
There should, however. be changes
made In this law to correct its many I'M
biguities and inadequacies In order that
fair and free expression Of their choice
for candidates for office. Fraudulent
practices in connection with the primary
should be clearly made a criminal Of
Tense, and in case both of the general
and the primary election, provision
should be made by which a contest can
be instituted and decided In the ~fairest,

Senatorial Primary Law
/ wish also to invite YOU earnest con-
sideration to the question of the repeal
or amendment of the primary election
law for the nomination of a United
States senator.
This law, 1 think l can fairly say, was
not enacted in good faith for the sole
purpose of enabling the people OF the
state to nominate a United States sena-
tor, but was enacted for political advan-
tage. and to prevent Independence in
voting.
This law is, in my mind, and in the
opinion of many able lawyers. IN VIOLA
ton both of the federal and state consti-
tutions. 1t undertakes, in effect, to pro-
vide a method for the election OF q
United States senator in violation Of the
spirit, If not of the letter, of the Fedora
Constitution; and it submits 90 the peo-
pie at a constitutional election, held fol
the purpose of choosing state officers, q

Regulation of Business Enterprises.

impressed with or devoted to a public
use is no longer open to controversy.
Maximum Freight Rate Law.
The legislature, in 1905, passed a maxi
mum freight rate law which, however
has never been put into force and effect
by reason of an injunction granted b.
the federal court upon the petition of tn
railroad companies claiming that this act
If observed, would deprive them of
reasonable return upon the value of thei
properties.
In 1907 the legislature made som
changes in the act of 1905, favorable t
the railroad companies, n also passe
a law reducing the rate of passenger ser
vice from 3 to 2 cents a mile. Suit
