New York Sun.
The general principle involved in the
case OF the two American citizens exc
cuted in Nicaragua Is fairly illustrated
by the Crittenden case IN 1851 and the
Virginius case in 1873. The execution OF
Colonel Crittenden and his associates by
the Spaniards is regarded as justihable.
They had broken the laws OF their own
land as well as the laws Of the country
which they invaded. and the order for
their execution was properly authorized.
The Virginius case stands in a different
light. Caleb Cushing then the American
Minister to Spain, denounced the pro-
ceedine as 1.-THE inhuman slaughter in
cold blood Of hfty-three human beings,
large number OF them citizens OF the
United States, shot without lawful trial,
without any valid pretension OF authority,
and TO the horror Of the whole civilized
world" In this case England and the
United States demanded and received a
considerable money indemnity.
It is not entirely clear that the irregu-
lar or even the unlawful execution OF
American citizens participating actively
In rebellion against a foreign Govern
ment can In itself be regarded as a suf-
hcient cause for military OF naval acti-
vities on the part Of the United States. It
does demand a prompt and thorough in
vestigation. II that has been had, II the
facts have been established. IL just ground
for demanding reparatlon exists, we'll and
good.
Meanwhile. the ardor and thunder OF
war in the Washington despatcheR need
abridge nobody's sleep; and fortunately
the time forbids their affecting any eIee-
ton.

YOUNG DAREDEVIL
HAS CLOSE ESCAPE
MEETS ACCIDENT IN LEAPING
GAP ON BICYCLE
Apparatus Placed in Incorrect Posi-
ton, Causing Performer to Suffer
Serious FaII-Shoulder Sc
vereIy Fractured
Home 4o15
Especial to The Herald. ]


VENICE, July 11.-"Daredevir' Col
by, the young aeronaut who has eXpe-
rienced a number of narrow escapes
at the Chutes park in Los Angeles dur
ing the past few weeks, had another
close shave from death today while
leaping the gap on a bicycle at the
Venice White city.
Colby is supposed to mount to the
top of an incline, which is about fifty
feet from the ground. and ride a BIZ
cycle down the grade at railroad speed,
the momentum carrying him over a
thirty foot gap in the slide and send
ing him a hundred feet along the solid
ground.
By some mistake in placing the APP
paratus the gap was considerably less
than the required distance. and his ma
chine turned clear over, throwing the
rider, and darting off into the crowd,
hitting a small boy and knocking him
down.
The performer was at once picked up
and taken to his dressing room, where
physicians found that severe fracture
of the shoulder had been sustained.
After considerable hard work and
many severe twinges of pain on the
part of the sufferer the bones were
forced into place and the young man
sent to his home in Los Angeles. The
regular Sunday afternoon balloon as
cension at the chutes had to be de-
clared off by Manager Lehigh on ac-
count of the accident.
The child was found to be unhurt,
although badly scared by the collision
with the performers wheel.

ARROWHEAD HOTEL WANTS
PERMIT TO SELL LIQUOR
CircuIates Petition Asking Board of
Supervisors to Grant License
to Hostelry

SAN BERNARDINO, July 1.-THE
hackers of the Arrowhead hotel have
circulated a petition in the Arrowhead
precinct in an effort to regain the priv
ilege of placing liquors on the tables
at the exclusive resort.
Several weeks ago the board of su-
pervisors voted down the application
for a hotel liquor license, but later de-
cided to hold up their final action until
this week in order to give the hotel
management an opportunity to show
why their application should not be
turned down, inasmuch as the precinct
by a vote of the people was supposed
to be dry"
1t is stated that a majority of the
voters in the precinct have signitied
their willingness to allow the hotel a
liquor license. and with the petition
the hotel management hopes to change
the sentiment of the supervisors.

STRONG FLOW OF WATER
STRUCK IN OLD SHAFT

PASADENA, July u.-There is small
danger that the city will suffer from a
water famine as long as the new well
of the Lake Vineyard Water company
continues its flow. Because of a scar
city of water last year this company
started to lower its we'll. Striking bed
rock, it encountered a flow of water
which has raised the level in the wells
forty feet about the old 160-foot depth.
More than 100 inches are being pumped
a day from this source, and there is
talk of sinking new wells in the neigh
borhood and so obtaining an additional
supply.

to be held in the city hall Tuesday
evening, at which time an attempt will
be made to organize a volunteer fire

the young men are enthusiastic and the
older ones convinced of the necessity OF
protection against fire. One or two

alarmed seriously some of them, and an
organized body which can be called on
in case of fire will have their support
