Denial by Nicaragua.

Washington. Nov. z9.-Denial ts made by the Nicaraguan Legation here that President Zelaya is about to leave that country as a result of the revolution he now faces The legation claims to be in daily communication with Managua, and asserts that the re- port about Zelaya's leaving is absolute ly false. Tt is now quite plain to the impar- tia1 public" said Charge d'Affaires Rodriguez today, 'that the reports giv- en to the press by the revolutionist agents are, to say the least, gross ex- aggerations. The legation has been in constant communication with Managua by cable and there is no truth what soever in the report that lines have been cut in the Interior of Nicaragua.
 There is no truth either in the news concerning the capture by the rebels of the towns of Chinandaga and Fl Viedo and the reports of executions and im- prisonments in Managua is absolutely without foundation. On the contrary the capital Is as calm as can be possi- ble under the circumstances, the Com gress is holding its ordinary sessions aity from the supporters of President Zelaya.
 Senor Rodriguez says that the revo- lution Is at standstill. Estrada has in his power the towns of Bluefields. Rama and Cabo. Greytown is put down as in dispute. Denial Is made that the revolutionists have gained footing on the Pacific slope.
 Tt is false that Zelaya is not friend ly towards the Americans residing in Nicara gua,' said Senor Rodriguez. Americans hold the best concessions in Nicaragua.
 He added that the documents re- lating to the executions of Groce and Cannon, the two Americans, were on their way to the Legation, and that they would show that they had been exc cuted in an entirely legal way.

Merry School War Agitates DAYTON

Dayton-Because two students at
the High School were insubordinate
and mischievous, as is alleged, the
superintendent of the public schools,
L. V. Beaulieu, suspended them.
This brought on a storm, and in the
stress of censure from the school
board, the superintendent resigned.
Then the entire corps of teachers
also quit in sympathy with it's SUI
perior. The striking teachers were
summoned before the board and the
whole affair was gone over. Finally
the teachers admitted they had been
a trifle hasty. They said they be-
lieved the board was condoning in
subordination on the part of the
students.

THE TAFT POLICIES
An Outline of the Recommendation
of the President to Congress in
His Annual Message.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The program
placed before congress by President
Taft in his annual message is the
most extensive and ambitious ever
proposed by a chief executive It
even dwarfs the recommendations
made by Roosevelt Ten main poll
cies are urged by the president, be-
sides list of minor items covering
routine matters and questions of
secondary Importance They are:
Supervision of the issue of stocks
and bonds by interstate corporations.
REIMBURSEMENT of the duties and
powers of the interstate commerce
commission.
Expansion of the duties of the
bureau of corporations.
department Of justice to deal with
violations of law by interstate car
riers
Establishment of a so-called rail
road court
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Creation of postal savings bank.
Ship subsidies
Amendment of the procedure re-
garding the granting Of injunctions.
Conservation of natural resources
One of the minor policies favored
by the president is the consolidation
into a national health bureau of all
instruments for the investigation,
prevention and cure of disease,
which are now included in the ma
tional government. or may properly
be included
Would Control Stocks.
The recommendation for the con-
troll of the issue Of stocks and bonds
by corporations is aimed at the
evil popularity known as stock water
ing, while those for the expansion
of the duties of the bureau of cor
porations and the creation Of a new
bureau in the department of justice
to deal with violations of the anti
trust, anti-rebate and railroad laws
suggest closer inspection and con-
troll of interstate. corporations
Those for the readjustment of the
duties and powers of the interstate
commerce commission, the creation
of railroad court and the amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law,
are partially in line with Rooseve1t's
plans and partially to the initiative
of President Taft himself. The work
ings of the railroad rate law have
not been entirely satisfactory in
practice, and this proposed 1egisla-
ton is for the purpose of remedying
the defects in the act.
President Taft would divide the
executive and judicial functions of
the commission, giving the last
named to court proper
