LAKE ERIE DEATH LIST IS
INCREASED

Been Missing Several Days,
Although Others Have
Passed Path
LAssnclated Pressl

that afternoon. She has not been
sighted by other boats. An empty
green yawl boat and some wreckage
we're seen by the steamer w b. Davock
near Long Point, Ont, in the path that
the ferry would have taken. Yawl

Port Stanley and It was sixty hours
before she was heard from. She has
since searched the lake toward Point
Pelee, but has found nothing of her
sister ship.
Tugs have secured the lake and re-
port no trace of the No. ..

TO BE PREVALENT
Most Pitiful and Atrocious Phase Of
Human Traffic Laid Bare in
Hope of AmeIiorating
Conditions

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-AIl but
Incredibly revolving are disclosures of
an international system of traffic in
both the enforced and voluntary deg
radiation of men and women contained
in the report on the sorcaIled "wf1ite
slave" trade submitted to congress
today by the United States immigra-
ton commission.
Shocking as is the tale of voluntary
shame told in the report, immensely
more so is the setting forth of we'll
attested facts as to the compulsory
consignment of innocent immigrant
girls to an immoral life.
Much o the subject matter of to-
days report was covered by the coan-
mission in its 14oo-page preliminary
report published and widely discussed
year ago. Today's report is briefer,
containing only sixty pages, and a
large part of 1t Is unsuitable for news
paper publication.
When the report was presented in
the house today by Congressman Ben-
nett of New York, Champ Clark,
minority leader, objected to its being
printed as a house document, but
later withdrew his objection.

His GOVERNMENT
SAYS HE HAS BEEN UNJUSLTY
CONDEMNED
President of Nicaragua in Interview
at Managua, Gives His Version
of the ENHANCEMENT with
United States
Associated Pressl

MANAGUA, Dec. 10.-'The United
States unjustly condemns my admin
istration," said President Zelaya in an
interview with staff correspondent of
the Associated Press today.
Il proposed to Secretary of State
Knox that he submit the case to the
investigation of a committee of his
own choosing, agreeing to surrender my
rights to the presidency if charges in
his letter to Isidore Hezera, former
Nicaraguan minister to the United
States, were sustained. Secretary
Knox has not replied.
"Defenseless against the hostility of
a powerful nation, l must submit, al
though | have been condemned un-
heard.
The coercion of the United States
will not rebound to its credit as ma
ton, whose motives are questioned in
all Latin America
THE shooting of Groce and Cannon
was a pretext Both were amenable
to the laws of Nicaragua, which dis
tinctly authorizes the shooting OF in
dividuals commanding rebeis.
1T is different if a person is cap
tured in the course of an international
war. The attempt of Secretary Knox
to establish the inviolability of Amer
leans participating in foreign reVolu-
tions will result in constant reVolu
tions led by immune Americans.
THE initiative in the shooting of
Groce and Cannon was not mine.
simply refused to extend clemency to
them after properly constituted mil
itary tribunal had passed upon the
case"
Recites Instances
President Zelaya then recited several
instances of what he declares is hostil-
ity against him in the United States
through paid articles appearing in
American newspapers. In one of these
instances, he says, he was endeaVoring
to raise a loan in France when his
enemies persuaded the United States to
interpose an objection through the
French ambassador at Washington, on
the preteXt that the money sought was
intended for the purchase of war ma
terials, when in reality it was to have
been used in the construction of a rail-
way.
"While 1 am ready to surrender the
continued President Zela-
va, IT cannot do it precipitately, as it
would result in uprisings by several
factions, each of which is eager to OBJ
tain power.

EARLY ORDER
MAKES THAW ANGRY

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y. June IL
Harry X. Thaw will have to wait in the
Matteawan asylum until July for a
hearing to determine whether he is now
sane and in condition to be released
from the asylum. The case came up
before Justice Mills here today on il
writ of habeas corpus obtained by Thaw
Thaw's counsel, Charles MOrschauser
wanted to go on with the hearing. but
Mr.. Clark, a representative Of the attOr
ney general. wanted to have the case
transferred to New York county. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York
asked that the hearing be postponed in
order TO give him an opportunity to
attend to other business. Justice Mills
decided that the hearing would be held
in White Plains
Mr.. MOrschauser asked that Thaw be
kept i'll the Jail of either Westminster
or Duchess county until the hearing,
but the justice declined. Justice Mills,
however. ordered DIR. Baker of the asy
lum to permit Thaw to stay up until 9
o'clock at night on the representation of
Thaw'S counsel that he was compelled to
90 to bed at s p. M, and that this was
too early.
Mr.. Morschauser declared that Dis
trict Attorney Jerome was unnecessarily
bounding Thaw. and that the asylum au-
thorties were unnecessarily antagUnistic.
He said that all Thaw's papers were
taken from him, and that his counsel
was not permitted to consult with him
alone. but only in the presence of other
inmates.
Thaws mother. Mrs William Thaw:
his sister. formerly the Countess of Var
mouth, and his two brothers were in the
courtroom. When the justice announced
lis decision to delay the hearing Harry's
mother collapsed She shook as though
seized with chill and her daughter
called out for drink of water saying
that her mother was choking. The wa
ter revived Mrs. Thaw somewhat, but
she was unable to walk without help.
Harry Thaw assisted her to ante-room
and remained there with her for short
Iime.
