aware was given last night IN St An
drews' Church by the rector, the Rev.
Hubert w. Wells. assisted by the

Quoted I'm the sign language It pre-
sented many novel features. With the
aid Of pencils and paper, the prelimin-
airy social time was passed interesting
ly in conversation between the guests
and their entertainers.
Most Of the speakers On the program
found the interpreters a necessary
feature. but Bishop Kinsman knows
the sign language himself, and de-
livcred ono of his most interesting
speeches in that-not tongue-but
hand. A series Of recitations of ma
tional songs in the sing language was
given by several of the guests.
Perhaps the most unusual number
on the program was the singing OF
hymns, by means of these motions OF
the hands, by Mrs. Syle. The deaf
mutes were pleasant guests to enter
tain, they entered so heartily into
making the evening an enjoyable one
for themselves and their hosts The

our National Ovcrseor Atkinson

is not i'm the rural homes. or at least
comparatively few of them. Does II
not seem that we ought TO have more

Fair and honest men are the natu-

TRAP ZELAYA
ABOUT RAMA
His Forces Hemmed in, He
Tries to 0utWit the In
SurgentS
WANTS TO NAME HIS
SUCCESSOR AS PRESIDENT

By Uuiied Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-With his
forces effectively cornered at Rama,
President Zelaya is making a strenuous
effort to outwit the revolutionists by
placing his henchmen in power in other
parts of Nicaragua according to
dispatches received to-day at the state
and Navy Departments.
Commander Shipley of the Des
Moines. reports from Bluehelds that
the revolutionary forces are now equip
ped with additional automatic guns
and ammunition and the general opin-
ion is that if there is an engagement
at Rama, it will result in the surrender
of Zelaya's forces. Reports of an en-
tirely different nature are being cir
cuiated by Zelaya on the Pacific
coast.
Vice Counsul Caldera telegraphs that
the zelaya newspapers already report
the capture of Rama. The reports of
rioting at Leon We're also confirmed
i'm the capitol. President Zelaya has
despatched arms TO Granada to over
come opposition to his candidates
there. Commander oliver, of the
Albany. which is at Corinto, confirms
the reports of riots at Managua and
says that in connection with them the
municipal authorizes have been inn
prisoned.
To-day's despaches are taken TO in
dicate that that the extreme measures
adopted by Zelaya mean that he will
not give up he presidency, unless one
of his own followers is seated, with
out desperate opposition. This is ap-
parent not only from his circulation
Of untrue reports Of government vic
tories, but from his attempt to in
huencc elections by force of arms.
Former Ambassador Creel will be
received by President Taft Tomorrow
afternoon when he will present his
credentials as special agent to Mexico
President Taft will not discuss with
him the proposal submitted by Senor
Creel on behalf of his government. This
matter will be taken up by Secretary
of state Knox at the later conference

BRUSSELS. Dec. licking Leopold
tainted several times during last night
and is to-day growing steadily weaker
His occasional rallies are Of constantly
shortening duration being followed by in
creasing depression. The report that Leo
pold is a victim Of progressive paralysis
was confirmed to-day.
Cardinal Mercier who is almost con-
stantly with the King is bringing pressure
to bear on him to relent toward his two
estrangedN daughters. Princess Louise and
Princess Stephanie. and grant them a
final audience. So far Leopold has been
adamant TO all entreaties.
His treatment of his daughters has
caused a wave Of resentment and the pub
lie is rapidly changing from indifference
toward the King TO open hostility.
Princess stephanie has called at the
palms several times to see her father.
but the attendants are under orders not to
admit her and she has not seen the KIM.
Dispatches from Budapest to-day say
that Princess Louise has suffered a ner-
vous collapse. due to her unanswered ap-
peals TO be allowed to come to Brussels.
One Of the kings physicians let fall in
an unguarded moment to-day the state
ment that the King is greatly concerned
over the wicked life that he has led and
has repeatedly sought solace from Cardi-
nal Mercier.
II is this feeling OF repentance that is
counted to cause him to forgive his daugh-
ters and permit them to come to his bed
side.
