NT. PAUL, Dec 3.-Oficials of the
~ Switchmens union said they were
~ not alarmed at reports received
from the west today of members OF the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen go
ing back to work.
Union officers received word that
eVerything was still tied up in Seattle,
despite the report that the trainmen
had decided to go back to work.
Switchmen say that any action taken
by the Seattle trainmen will make no
material difference, as there are only a
few of them in the Seattle yard and
that, in fact, 81 per cent of the switch
men in the northwest are members OF
the SWitchmen's union.
President Hawley spent the day in
Minneapolis, where he had a CONFER
ence with Governor Eberhart. Inc
governor announced later that we'll
defined movement had beer begun TO
effect a settlement of the strike.
A statement was published quoting
the governor as saying he believed the
strike would be settled in three days
Governor Eberhart, when asked as TO
the truth of the interview, said he
had been incorrectly quoted.
He said he had met some Mime
apolis men who had talked with him
regarding the possibilities of getting
and he thought that a movement was
on foot in that direction.
Denies Settlement
President Louis w. Hill of the Great
Northern. when asked if he knew any
thing about it, said there could be no
truth to any talk of settlement, even
with individual railroads, as the gen
eral managers had decided that they
would stand together.
Mr.. Hill said the roads could get
enough men in the east to fill the
nlaces of the strikers, but that they
did not want to bring them all in now,
nreferring to give the old men a chance
to return. ,.-,,
President Hawley of the Switchmen' S
,Inion also said that nothing definite
was accomplished at the Minneapolis
conference, and that the prospects of a
settlement were no better tonight than
they were before.
Regarding the detection of the men
in Duluth, Mr.. Hawley said he had a
message from Duluth today saying that
only three of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen had returned to work,
and that it was believed they would go
out again tonight.
Mr.. Hawley again reiterated his
sta tement that there was no possi-
bilitv of arbitration under the Erdman
act. ILL,

local yards. ana -.
II was estimated that about 1900 men
had been imported into the Twin Cities
today.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 3.--Local Great
Northern railway officials tonight re-
ceived instructions from the superin-
tondent of car service at st. Paul to

The strike OF switchmen locally
shows no change on the surface OF
things.
Helena is threatened with a fuel
famine as the coal supply under pres

UTASHlNGTON Dec. 3.-President
w zelaya has not only refused to
take official cognizanee of Sec
retary Knox's note, which was prac-
tically an ultimatum, but he is declared
to have dispatched special agents to
Washington to endeaVor to have the
uItimatum set aside, first by appeals to
the state department and secondly by
direct appeals to members of congress-
The state department Is entirely
aware of the presence and identity OF
these emissaries. While they are be-
ina watched in a general way, the
United States is maintaining over them
nothing that could be construed as
espionage.
In addition to this, it was reported
today that any attempt that Zelaya
might make to escape from Nicaragua
would receive the direct and vigorous
attention of American warships now
there.
Secretary Knox's note intimated that
the state department looks upon Ze-
laya as the man responsible for the
tortures and death of Groce and
Cannon.

Plan Is Revealed

RAN Is nSNSdiSu
The plan to defect the American
program with reference to Nicaragua
came to light tonight. Senor Fernando
Sanchez and DR.. V. NJ. Roman, the
former accompanied by his family,
registered at leading hotel. Neither
Senior Sanchez nor DR.. Roman would
talk.
They gave their address as New
York. Members of the Central Amer
ican diplomatic corps. however were
in a flutter when they discovered thS
new arrivals. Senor Sanchez, they de-
clared, is a partner of zelaya in many
business ventures, and he has between
four and five million dollars in gold.
Dr. Roman, the report continues, long
has been Senior Sanchez's business ad-
wiser, and he also is close friend ana
adherent of Zelaya. In the afternoon
and tonight more than twenty tele
grams were dispatched from Senor
Sanchezs rooms.
Almost am equally large number
were received This telegraphic ac-
tivity, Central Americans insist, is
aimed at members of congress with a
view of winning over enough to render
in the event it Is presented to congress.
Makes Formal Request
DR.. Salvador Castrillo, diplomatic
agent of the provisional government
of Nicaragua and representatives Of
the revolution here today made for
NAL request to Secretary Knox that
he be received on equal terms with
agents of the Zelayan government.
This naturally will be informally
as neither the Nicaraguan represen-
tatives nor DR.. Castrillo have official
standing here. It is generally believed
that DR.. Castrillo's request Will be
granted.
While making all preparations Tor
action, this government has assumed
the calm that preceded the issue OF
Secretary KnoX's note.
There were no developments in the
state department today, and Secretary
Knox appeared bored when the subject
of Nicaragua was mentioned. To all
appearances. the department is now
marking time"
In explanation of the status of Amer
lean consular officers in Nicaragua,
it was said today that. in all probabfl-
ity, Nicaraguan cOnsuls in this coun-
try would not be disturbed for the
present, nor was it thought that Amer
lean consuls in Nicaragua will be re-
ouired to leave that country.

ROBINSON FOR
BOND ISSUE
Principal of Colored School
States Position of Many
of His Race.

]. w. Robinson, colored. princi-
pal OF the colored schools, writes
favoring the bond issue as follows:
1t will not be very long before the
voters of Clarksburg viii be called
upon to cast their ballot in manifes-
tation of their~opinion as to the ad-
visibility of the city issuing bonds
to secure money for the much need
ed improvements of this growing and
prosperous city.
In the first place, wish to ex-
press my approval OF the issuing of
these bonds and at the same time
express the hope that my people will
examine into the merits Of this pro-
ject and If convinced that 1t is a
worthy cause come out, and vote in
Its favor.
This is purely non-partisan
movement and I feel that all the
citizens should hav2e an interest in
making it possible for the city to
make improvements which will not
only add to the comfort OF our grow
Ing population, but will also elimin-
ate the source OF the germs of dis.
ease caused by our imperfect wate
system. 1'a
Improvement of streets will en-
nance the value of property.
When one considers that eight
years ago there was practically no
paved streets in this. city, he must
admit the work of Improvement has
been carried on as rapidly as could
be expected and this has been done
without any extra burden to the tax
payers. In most cities improvements
are made by a special levy being laid
upon the property OF the taxpayers,
but this has not been the case with
Clarksburg.
There are at least two demands
which the humble citizens are max.
ing Of our solons, the first is that II
the bond issue is = successful. i'm
provements should not be confined
to any particular part of the city but
they should be made wherever most
needed. so that the common taxpay-
ers may reap some Of the benefits as
well as a certain class of citizens who
live on the most prominent streets.
The second demand is that in let
ting the contracts for making these
improvements. preference should be
given to men who will employ our
own citizens to perform the labor as
far as practical, instead of giving the
work almost exclusively to foreign
ers, as has been the custom here be-
fore. The people feel that since both
the interest and principal of these
bonds must be met by the taxpay-
ers. they should he given an oppor.
tunity to do the work and not be sup
planted by men who are not citizens
and never expect to be.
Personal contact with the voters OF
my race has convinced me that some
assurance OF the realization OF the
above demands will go long way
towards influencing their vote.
