MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCE
Guatemalan and Costa Rican Minis

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 10
Breeding quiet settled down today on
The strained situation this government
finds Itself in with Nicaragua
But if everything was quiet on the
surface. there was plenty stirring be-
meath. A communication was receiv-
ed at the state department from the
Nicaraguan legation. the puTport OF
which was not divulged. and the min
isters from Guatemala and Costa
R:ca held a mysterious conference
with Assistant Secretary Wilson IN
the afternoon.

Violation of Treaty.
The deepest interest is apparent as
to the conference between Assistant
Secretary Wilson, Senior Calvo. min
lister from Costa Rica. and DR.. Herrat.
minister from Guatemala. II is be-
lieved that the infraction OF the ex-
listing Pan American treaty signed
here little over two years ago was
the chief matter discussed.
The violation of the agreement was
committed by Gen. Toledo, in COM
mand OF President Zelaya's forces,
when he invaded Costa Rican terri
tory in his advance on Greytown'
where practically he is now besieged.
In the threatened trouble between
Nicaragua and Venezuela, only
short time ago, the United States
stood ready to prevent, by force. il
nece ssary. the passage of the DEL
Iiperents across the neutral territory
of Honduras.
This is pointed to by diplomats TO-
night as indicative of the gravity OF
Gen. Toledos offense against the Pan
American compact.

Chammerro are making preparations

NOT IN VIOLATION
OF ANTITRUST LAW
Federrl Court Orders New
Trial in Case of Coal Dealer
Against Railroads.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Nov 19.-Judge
Walt er Sanborn in the United States
Circu: Court of Appeals today hand
ed down an opinion setting aside the
verdict and ordering a new trial in
the case of the United States against
the Union Pacific Coal Company, the
Union Pacific Railway, the Oregan
Short Line. James NJ. Moore and
Everett Buckingham, charging them
with violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law by forming an unlawful CON-
5natiOn.
White the suit was brought in the
pame of the United States, proceed
ings were started by Mr.. Sharp, a
Salt Lake City coal : dealer, who
charged the coal company and the de-
PENDANT railways with refusing to sell
and haul coal for him because he
advertised and sold at a lower fig
ure than his competitors.
No Substantial Evidence.
Judge Sanborn holds there was no
substantial evidence of any combi-
nation between any two OF the de-
PENDANTS, either to refuse to sell coal
to Sharp or to refuse TO transport it
for him.
The lower court found the defend
ants guilty and imposed a fine Of
81 900 and costs on Moore and $4,000
and costs on the other defendants.
The syllabus of Judge Sanborn's
opinion says that under the Sherman
law combination. the necessary

BANK SWINDLER ID

Cornelius Alvord, Who Stole Fortune From Bank Will Be Turned Out of Sing Sing At An Early a0te

NEW YORK, April 1.-Witnin the
 cexC zen days or two weeks-the eT-
 act date has not been made known
 The great doors of Sing Sing prison
 wili swing open for the release of
 Cornelius L. Alvord, jr.. the shrewd- est bank defaulter New York has ever known" Alvord stole three quarters of a n llion dollars from the ! First National bank Of this city. In ! 1900 he was sentenced to ten years | imprisonment which the regular time i allowance for good behavior has re
 duced.
 The Alvord dedication was. in
 many respects, the most sensational
 that Wall street has ever known | When the old First Nat onal bank. noted for it's conseryativeness. came out with a formal acknowledgment that it had been robbed of s700,0OO bv an humble and little-considered noTeteIler. New York financiers could
 hardly believe the report. But Il proved to be true. Alvord-the most
 orderly person imagiDable/ at the bank-was found to have been liv ng
 a dual life. For months and even
 years. as tine evidence at the trial
 showed, he had been gambling at
 Saratoga so rasbly as to attract the attention and admiration of the old. timers at that noted resort. He had maintained, in a trainers name, Q ? string of horses of his own. He had owned motor boats and autOmob les ] and had lived. in short. at an average
 of about $200 day on salary ol SS.5OO a year. To do this he had consistently and systematically rob
 bed the bank for a period of aooui , six years.
 |, The exact way in which he stoi' was never thoroughly revealed by th' q bank officials. His peculations, thel s said were skinfully concealed b. ! clever manipulat on of his -'balaDc' i, books" That was as near as thel J came to telling. The bank had ;. i surplus from which 10 make good thu
 losses. and the dedication caused n' ' embarrassment to the big institution It was on october 23. 1900, whel
