NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 2S.-Liberal
contributions to the revolutionary cause
in Nicaragua have been made by busi-
ness interests of that country, accord
ing to Consul General Susman, repre-
sentative of Gen Estrada at New Or
leans.
The consul said that he had received
advices today that ample financial sup
port for the insurrection had been
vouchsafed by the large industrial and
commercial interests of Nicaragua
which had been taxed eXtortionately by
Zelaya. 1t has not only been large en-
terprises that have felt the oppressive
hand of President Zelaya, the consul
declared. He continued;
There have been many instances of
petty injustice and extortion. Near
Managua there is a little lagoon in
which Indian women have been wont
from time immemorial to wash their
clothes. One day, without warning, an
official proclamation was issued stat
ing that company had been formed
which would charge the women COM
paratively large sum per day for the
privilege of using this water. Pay
ment was demanded beeausesthere was
no other available water supply"
1t was rumored here tonight L. f.
Corea, former Nicaraguan minister to
the United States, is slated to succeed
Zelaya as president of Nicaragua and
that his candidacy will meet with the
favor of the United States government.
While definite knowledge as to the
plans is lacking, it is believed he left
here tonight for Washington.
Nicaraguan insurgents are now en-
gagged in what is expected to be the
final grapple with the Zelayan forces,
according to unofficial advices tonight

MANY JAPANESE
DEAD IN WRECK
One White Man Also Among the Seri-
ousIy nJured-Fireman and
Engineer Both Leap
to Safety
Associated Pressl

VANCOUVER, Nov. 2S.-Twenty Jap
anese were killed and fifteen injured,
several of them fatally, in a wreck of
a work train on the Great Northern
railway between Vancouver and New
Westminster today.
one of the injured is a white man,
George w. Kemp, a commercial trav-
eler of Vancouver who was riding OF
the work train.
His feet were crushed and he was
internally injured. His condition is Sc
rious.
The train left Vancouver at o'clock
this morning on the way to Sumas.
When within mile of the city limits
of New Westminster the train ran into
a washed out culvert.
The engine passed nearly over and
then fell. Fireman Kent and Engi-
neer Beattinger jumped and escaped
injury. Immediately behind the tender
was the bunk car, which held thirty
five Japanese
The engine settled back until IL stood
almost on end The Japanese car was
caught and smashed between the en-
gine and the tender.
Half the car was crushed to klndling
wood, and the remainder smashed in
on the sides, slid further into the gully
The caboose at the end remained on
the tracks. In it was Conductor Ell
lis, who escaped injury.
How Kemp happened to be on this
train is a mystery to railway officials.
That the work train and not the
crowded owl passenger train from Sc
attic met with the disaster is simply
a piece of luck for the passengers on
the night express.
Had the work train not been on the
line the express from Seattle for VAN
couver would not have been held.
The Owl passenger train under nor
NAL traffic conditions would have con-
tinued through to Vancouver without
stopping, and it instead of the work
train would have plunged into the gully.

SAY DR.. COOK LABORS
UNDER CONSTANT FEAR

DR.. Cook, who slipped quietly away

country for a week. also to seek Sc
clusion.
Mr. Wack, his confidant, still af-
firms he knows where DR.. Cook is, and
that he is not going to tell.
Friends of DIR. Cook undertook to
explain the situation today in this
wise:
'.It is true" they say, that the doc

on by the belief of some of those with
whom he associated that there exists

plot to steal his records, even to
spirit him away in person.
"TIe even engaged two private detec-
tives to shadow his supposed shadow
ers. Mrs. Cook and those in her con-
fidence felt that this atmosphere was
not good for the doctor, and arranged
to have him conveyed.
The doctor intended no mystery.
"All that aspect Of his affairs has
resulted from the announcement made
by Mr.. Wack, who has not seen DR..
Cook for week and merely acted on
presumption that he was to sail on the
Caronia."
DR.. Cooks health is a matter of
great concern among his friends. Prior
to his sudden retirement he was re-
ported to be on the verge of nervous
breakdown, and it is assumed by some
that the necessity for absolute rest
may have prompted his wife to insist
on his seclusion

Camille Flammarion, the French sci enlist, wants all the governments to join in digging toward the center of the earth. He calls it we'll of ex- ploration, but expects it to transform civilization and make a glorious new world of gold and platinum.
 Beneath our feet are secrets to make men like demigods, he suggests. We know nothing about the planet VIC in- habit. Geography deals with the sur face; astronomers have determined its form and position, weighed and meas ured it; but what the earth is remains a mystery. Tunnels piercing mount aims only cut through humps of the earth's crust. The deepest mine o: the world, near Rybnik, in upper Silesia, is only mile and quarter deep.
 Is the globe liquid or solid? No one knows. Until recently science sup posed it liquid, iucandescent center covered by d thin crust. The rate of increasing heat observed in mines and the molten matter thrown out of volca- noes furnishes calculations that made the crust less than 70 miles thick.
 Modern geology, however, refuses to admit that such d thin shell is protect ing us from such furnace. The enor- nous fluid mass of the interior, follow inc the attraction of the moon, would smash against the trust twice daily in terrible interior tides.
 We would live in perpetual earth quakes whose violence we cannot inn agine. Vast crevasses woull open under our feet and white-hot molten matter would pour out of them. The speed of earthquake waves and the feeble intensity of actual crust undula- tions, discovered and measured at Pots- dam by Herr Hecker, prove that our
