ATLANTA. Ga, December 25.-Mayor
George w. Tfedeman of Savannah takes
exception to the accounts of the recent
triple murder in that city. as sent out by
Savannah correspondents of out-of-town

men assisted the police. that no hand
bills were printed describing the MUIR
derer. that no negroes asked to be locked
up for protection, that no innocent men

FUGITIVE EX-PRESIDENT
NOW MExICO'S PROTEGE
Slips Out of Corinto Under Noses Of
Our Warships.
GIVEN RIGHT OF ASYLUM
Received by Mexican Guard With
Honors as Private Citizen and Es-
corted on Board Gunboat.

News of the flight of President Zelaya
from Corinto is received in official circles
here with varying emotions.
While the State Department undoubt-
edly would have appreciated the cap
ture of Zelaya and his arraignment on
the charge of numbering the two Ameri-
cans, Groce and Cannon, there is in other
quarters a distinct sense of relief In the
passing of the Nicaraguan dictator from
the scene.
Had this government been determined
to stand by the demands made in the
note sent by Secretary Knox to Rod
rigcez, charge d'affaires OF the Mica
raguan legation here, 1t is acknowledged
that the escape of Zelaya could readily
have been prevented.
American Position Untenable.
That no efforts were made to block the
flight of the former president is accepted
as an indication that the position orig
inally taken by the Secretary of State
was not altogether tenable. The right
of asylum, under international law, is
one of the most vigorously regarded st1p-
ulations of such law, and President Le-
lava, in demanding such right from the
commander of the Mexican gunboat Guer-
zero, registered a request that could not
well be refused.
In the failure of the American authori-
ties to file any protest against the ac-
ceptance of Zelaya's person, the Mexican
commander had no alternative but to aid
him in leaving Nicaragua
Precedent Is Cited.
A precedent was established in the case
OF Nord Alexis, former President of Santo
Domingo when he sought asylum on .
French cruiser lying in the harbor. He
was wanted by the succeeding government
on a number of counts. but the French
minister escorted the deposed ruler to the
wharf. where he was met by launch
from the warship and taken aboard. No
protest ever was made over the incident,
and 1t was regarded as coming well with
in the scope of the law of nations.

In quiet, transformations and thorough
ly American fashion President Taft and
his family celebrated their Christmas at
home yesterday in that seclusion that is
naturally welcome to persons whose daily
lives are closely identified with the gem
eral public.
To the Tafts Christmas was in the ma
ture Of a family reunion. All the men,
bers of the Presidents immediate family
were with him at the White House.
Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft, who is
back from Bryn Mawr for the holidays,
attended services at st. Johns Church in
the morning. The Presidents two sons
Robert and Charley, remained in the
house throughout the day, enjoying them
selves generally.
Whisky Decision Prepared.
President Taft also remained indoors all
day working on the problem OF What Is
Whisky?'
|. This mooted question, raised by distill-
ers under the pure food act. has been
pending for some time. The President
has determined to settle it as soon as
possible.
He dictated to a stenographer for some
time during the afternoon. and had an
other one engaged for the evening. The
decision, which will be probably 5000
words in length, will be announced to-
morrow.
Big Pie on Table.
The main point of interest for Charley,
after he had examined his numerous
Christmas presents in the morning, was
the cutting of the big mince pie, made
for the Presidents Christmas dinner by
the International Bakers Association and
delivered at the White House yesterday
! afternoon, in charge of special express
messengers.
Nor were the other members Of the
presidential family totally Indifferent on
| that subject. And the pie was the prin-
cipal feature Of the dinner. the Vermont
| turkey to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Placed in the center OF the table, with
its diameter Of thirty-eight inches and
| its ninety-two pounds weight, the pie
presented an imposing spectacle.
At no time yesterday were any guests
entertained at the White House. There
were a few calls from intimate friends
and a number of telephone conversations
but the Tafts spent the day in q quiet
family atmosphere that was undfSturbed
| by anything but the slightest outside in
| reference.
