DAVENPORT SHOCKED BY
DEATH OF REMINGTON

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 29.-Homer Daven-
port, seriously ill at the home of A. G.
Spalding, Point Iona, is today fighting
to recover from a nervous breakdown
precipitated by the news of the death
of his old friend, Frederick Reming-
ton the noted artist.
Mr. Davenport slept well last night
but today a new complication threat
ened. A sharp pain has developed in
the back of his head and while there
is no fever the attending physician
has not yet decided the nature of this
latest development in Davenports
condition.
1t will be several days before Mr.
Davenport can possibly be considered
conValescent.

MORSE DENIED
ANOTHER TRIAL
CONVICTED BANKER MUST GO
BACK TO PRISON
Only Technical Legal Shadow Stands
Between Former Financial King
and Federal Prison ut
Atlanta, Ga.
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Only a techni-
cal legal shadow now stands between
Charles w. Morse, banker and one-time
ice king, and a fifteen-year sentence In
the federal prison at Atlanta.
Judge Hough in the United States
circuit court today denied his motion
for new trial, but Martin w. Little
ton, his counsel, announced that one
more stand would be taken. Tomorrow
he will move in the circuit court for a
writ OF error.
II this is denied, Morse will begin the
new year serving his sentence for vio-
lation of the national banking laws.
Mr.. Littletons recent application for
a new trial for Morse was made on the
ground that the jury was improperly
guarded and that some of the jurors
drank to excess in the trial.
With respect to this charge the court
holds that the fact that the Jurymen
were in the custody of secret service
men instead of regular deputy mar
shals was we'll known to both the coun-
sci and jurors when the trial began
The court also notes that more than
year has elapsed since Morse was con-
vcted and sentenced, and that a writ
of certiorari has been denied by the
United States supreme court.
So far as the record of these affl-
daVits show, says Judge Hough's
memorandum. there was nothing con-
cealed or secretive about the appoint
ment of these men.
Drinking Charges
AS to the drinking charges. Judge
Hough says:
Legislation must advance good
deal before a prisoner may claim to
be entitled to a jury of teetotalers in
New York at all events"
Judge Hough points out that 1t was
by direction of the court that the
Jurors be permitted to lead their
usual lives" and that the affidayits
submitted by Morse's counsel showed
merely that in the entire trial only
twenty bottles of liquor and some in
dividual drinks had been consumed by
the jury.
"And it is not pretended that anyone
was at all intoxicated" adds the court.
All parties agreed, the memorandum
continues, that no liquor was served
to the jury after the case had been
given to them.
"The same juror who had deposed
for the defendant as to the drinking
habits of the jury" says the court, lis
by the defendant alleged to have been
himself so sodden with drink as to be
incapable of clear cool and undis-
turbed Judgment.
AS to the charges that the jurors
were permitted to read newspapers
with "hostile'' accounts of the trial,
Judge Hough said:
"This case was dull; it took long
timeato exhibit necessary preliminary
facts; newspaper accounts were incom-
plete and incorrect, but there is no
evidence that they We're hostile or
biased.
"Unless all reading of daily journals
by Jurors is unlawful. this point re-
quires no further consideration"

WORRIED ABOUT "DIXIE"
AND "YANKEE DOODLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"Is Dixie
more popular than Yankee Doodle? %
That is the question which apparently
has divided the country into two camps
and brought about controversy which
promises to become second only to the
recent great question of the day: "Who
discovered the north pole?"
The innocent assertion Of Otto G.
Sonneck, chief of the division of music
of the library of congress, that "Dixie''
was more prominent in patriotic popu-
larity than yankee Doodle" has
stirred up veritable hornets nest and
even resulted in threats of death to
Mr.. Sonneck.
His office has been swamped with
letters from various parts of the coun-
try in which the writer's take exception
to the statement about ''Dixie."

ZELAYA REPEATS HIS
CHARGE AGAINST KNOX
AND TELLS OF NEEDS

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 29.-'Mr. Knox
is not my Judge. l am answerable only
TO my government"
Jose Santos Zelaya, who arrived this
morning from Salina Cruz, thus re-
piled TO question tonight as to what
attitude he would assume should Sec
retary Knox seek to extradite him
from this country.
Zelaya refused TO % discuss such a
probability, but strongly intimated
that the secretary of state would not
have the right to request his pres
ence in the United States.
Il have no feeling against the Amer
lean people at large, nor the govern
ment," lie said. Secretary Knox has
been Systematically misinformed and
public opinion in the United States
has been prepared against me, but the
real facts must become known in time
and it is to time l trust for my vim
dication.
''My relations with the preceding
American government We're exceeding
ly friendly. The situation contains
many unfortunate conditions. Secre-
tary Root had the complete confidence
of Central America and his policies
were drawing the people closer to-
gether. politically and commercially.
am afraid the attitude of Secretary
Knox is undoing all that work through
out Latin America"
Zelaya said American marines en-
gagged in several recent battles in Mic
aragua and that twenty of them were
killed He said:
Four Hundred Americans in Fight
do you know that there were 400
Americans fighting with the insurgents
at Rama? Do you know that at the
battle of Colorado Junction, November
1, the bodies OF twenty American
marines were picked up by our forces.
all dead and all from American gun
boats anchored in the river to protect
American interests?
''The official explanation given me
was that these men were deserters."
Zelaya believes the confederation of
all Central American republics will ul-
timately be brought about. For, he
says, the great masses of the people
are unionists and the principal obstacle
UP to this time has been the selfish
attitude of persons in power animated
by private interests.
He faVors central government for
the new republic, rather than strong
federal government, explaining that
under a central government the va
rious states would preserve their iden-
tity. having officers to transact such
general business as might concern the
whole of Central America and leaving
each of the present republics more or
less independent and handling its in
terror affairs.

ROADS SCATHED
BY COMMISSION
0VERCHARGE BRINGS OUT
SEVERE REPRIMAND
Harlan Says Shippers in All Parts of
Country Complain of Railway
Mems carelessness in Re.
funding Money

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-In a de-
cision by the interstate commerce com
mission handed down today involving
claim of 20 cents in an Overcharge
on freight made against the Aberdeen
and AshborO Railway company and
other lines, railroads generally are Sc
verely reprimanded for their delay in
adjusting claims where there has been
a palpable overcharge.
If carriers persist in their delay the
commission intimates it may be under
the necessity of calling the attention
of congress to the matter.
Commissioner Harlan, in writing the
report of the commission, says:
From shippers in all parts of the
country and from local traffic associa-
tions which are making earnest efforts
on fair and reasonable lines to secure
a reform in the practices of carriers
in this regard, many complaints have
been received in the last year of the
inattention of carriers to plain over
charge claims and of their delay in ad-
justing them. And a survey of these
complaints has led us to the conclu-
sion that this practice. or rather lack
of practice. among carriers is open to
severe criticism.
Burden Too Much
"A substantial portion of time and
labor of this commission is given to
the effort to secure, through informal
correspondence, the settlement of
claims of this character, and it is a
burden from which we ought to be re-
lieved by carriers.
"On the other hand, from the ship
pers' point of view nothing in connec-
tion with transportation is more vex-
ing and irritating than the labor and
delay incident to the following up Of
an overcharge claim and securing it's
repayment.
The commission expressed the opin-
ion that all ordinary claims of this
character should be adjusted and paid
by the carriers within thirty days, and
in special cases that no more than
sixty days should be required for set
tlement, and adds that it will expect
the cordial cooperation of all carriers
in our request that the claims depart
ment be SO organized as to give more
prompt results"
In another case decided today,
originating in Chicago, the COM
plainant had died before his claim had
been adjusted, and the commission or
dered the Chicago Great Western rail-
road to pay the amount of the claim
to his estate.

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many Of Them Happening Every Day
But Soon Forgotten.

Close shaves would be of more ire
ouent occurrence but for the tender
faces of many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore
nothing has been said in these columns
about poslam, a new skim discovery
in connection with it's use after shaw
ing. Its publicity and sales have been
confined almost exclusively to it's re-
markable properties as an eczema cure;
it stops the itching at once and cures
the worst cases in few days. While
the application of poslam after shaving
is one of it's minor uses, such as for
pimples, the complexion, etc, shavers
will find it revelation, as it does for
abrasions, roughness, and severe scrap
ings what it does for all manner of
skin difficulties-heals and cures in a
few hours. 1t is the only article pos
sessiug real antiseptic and curative
value that has ever been exploited for
this purpose, and will soothe and tone
UP the skin as no toilet preparation
could possibly do. A.
Poslam can be had for fifty cents at
any reliable druggists. particularly
Coughlin's Pharmacy, who make a
speciality of it. Or the Emergency
Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City, will send trial sup
ply free by mail to any one who will
write for it. This is sufficient to show
results in "a hours.
