 EL PRES|DENTE His Unanimous. Election By HicaPaguan Congress
 WILL TAKE OFFICE TODAY
This Government Does Not Accept New Situation But Indicates That New President Will Be on His Good Behavior

Managua. Dec. 20.-Dr Jose Madriz today was unanimously elected by congress to succeed Zelaya as presi dent The session was stormy but there seemed to be perfect unanimity regarding the election of Madriz. When the official announcement was made there was vocfferous cheering and cries of Viva Madriz," Viva Leon. ." Down with monopolies' and Long live the constitution"
 Madriz will assume the presidency a. 10 o'clock tomorrow morning He was escorted to the balcony of the hotel where he greeted the great gath ering in a brief speech urging harmony and cooperation. He pledged himself to uphold the rights of citizens. to the granting of free elections and to the establishing of policy of equal oppor- tunities .o al
 It is known to both Zelaya and Mad rig that Estrada, the leader of the rev olutionists. is ready to battle the gov ment forces and that he is strongly opposed to the new president The hope is cherished. however. that Mad rig will be able to smooth the many rough places and bring about an ami cable condition and not be compelled to withdraw from office. What Zelaya and most of his supporters have fear ed the most was a rising of depart ments around Managua for in the last two weeks widespread denunciation of Zelaya were verginG on a revolution.

 AT WINoNA LAST WEEK.
The Railroad Company Held Respon-
 sibe By the Verdict

Flagstaff. Ariz. Dec 2O.-(SpaciaI) Tn the matter of the inquest of Mrs. Alice Bennitt, who was killed in the Santa Fe wreck at Winona last week. the coroner's jury did not complete it's investigation until this afternoon. when the following verdict was rendered: We, the jury find that the deceased. Mrs Alice Bennitt. a resident of East Hartford. Conn, came to her death on the sixteenth day of December through criminal carelessness on the part of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa &'e Railway company.
 Furthermore. we recommend that the coroner take the necessary steps to bring to the notice of the grand jury at the next session of the dis trict court, the fact that the railroad company. or it's employees caused the body to be removed from the scene of the wreck. thereby interfering ma terially with the coroner's jury in it's investigation of the matter and pre- venting them from securing promptly the effects on or about the deceased"

DRUGSTORE BANDIT
 THE EX-POLCEMAN
CRUSHED UNDER WHEELS AT
 SAN JOSE ON SUNDAY.
That IS the Opinion Entertained by the
 Police of San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 20.-The police believe that the lone drug store" ban dit whose operations terrorized the city two weeks may have been Walter Carroll. formerly member of the San Francisco police force. whose body lies in the morgue at San Jose. A partial Identification was made today by Dr. Henry Noland, clerk in Gleason's drug store. who was twice visited by the robber and by Detective Burke of the local force. NOland said he thought he was the man who forced him to open the cash drawer at the muZzle of his revolver
 Burke reported that Carroll's meas urements and appearance tallied with the descriptions of the desperado. Dr. F. II. Gleason. who also faced the rob- ber's weapon will go to San Jose to- morrow. If he identifies the body as that of his unwelcome visitor the po- lice state that they will have no req son to doubt that the bandit has been found
 Carroll was killed by train on Fri day. Whether he committed suicide or fell under the wheels while stealing a ride has not been determined He was identified as man who resigned from the police force in october. following the death of his wife by gunshot wound. by means of a paper. and po- lice revolver found on his body. Moth ing in his effects were found to con meet him with the robberies in this city.
 It was noticed yesterday that Car rolls appearance tallied with the de- scription of the bandit This came about through an examination of the records of the police department fol- lowing recent letters purporting to- come from the robber which stated that he was an ex-policeman. This re- suited in determination to send No- land and Burke to view the body.

New York. Dec 20.-Cocktails and cigarettes. which have figured promi- nently in the suit for separation brought by Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw against her husband. w. Gould Brokaw again assumed importance today in the trial at Mineola, l.. L
 Sidney Woods the Brokaw butler testified for the defense that he had served cocktails to Mrs. Brokaw in teacups. in tumblers and in shaker. when she was up and dressed and when she was in bed. He was posi- tive he had seen Mrs. Brokaw puffing cigarettes and he had served ber with them in her room.
 During her buffers testimony Mrs. Brokaw, who, in her own testimony would only own to an experience of four cocktails and an occasional cigarette sat open mouthed.
 'I carried a cocktail to Mrs. BrOkaw in sun parlor.". continued the butler. and she mentioned to. me that she had discharged her nurse, Miss See. told her that Miss See had asked me for liniment to apply to bruises which she said had beer caused by kicks and lashings from a whip

OR. DEPEW'S RESPECTS Paid to the Critical Senator From
 Wisconsin.

Washington. Dec. 2O.-Senator De- pew today sarcastically thanked Sem ator LaFollette in a speech on the floor of the senate for assoeiating him with President Taft in the criticism appearing in a recent issue of the Wis cOnsin senator's magazine. As pre- face MT. Depew read from the presi- dents annual message the reference to the prosperous outlook of the United States and said that in spite of this portrayal of good times. from a com petent authority. the nation ''is now burdened with pessimistic prophecy" coming from MT. LaFollette.
 His holiday greeting" said Mir. De- pew, referring to MT. LaFollette. ''is severe criticism of the president and myself l thank him heartily for this association

as to leave in the public mind not the slightest doubt of it's thoroughness S inIpartiality.
 MT. Ballinger is impatient at delay and it is said. urged that a resoIu. tion providing for a congressional in. vestigation be presented to the sen. ate tomorrow. It is understood that he has been overruled on that point and that an exceedingly complex text determining the form of the inquiry will be threshed out between now and the re-convening of congress or January 4.
 The whole subject gives promise oi a heated discussion among members of both houses. but it is not unlikely that the investigation at length will be put into the hands of a joint special committee representing both houses. Ordinarily an investigation of this character falls to the committed on public lands of one house or the other. These committees are com posed, however. of men from western states who have in one way or an- other taken sides in. the controversy and whose interests may be regarded possibly as interfering with an un- biased judgment.
 One thing appears certain; the in- vestigation must be relptless: Every body seems agreed that it must be absolutely public It is admitted that anything in the nature of star chamber" proceedings would satisfy none. The entire department of the interior. so far as it concerns public lands, mineral lands and water rights it is agreed will be barred to the searchlight from the time Mir. Bal finger was commissioner of the gen eral land office under the Roosevelt administration down to the present
 The position of Mir. Ballingers friends goes beyond the question of a personal controversy. Those who voice the attitude of the administration disavow a desire to convict some body else" in order to vindicate the secretary of the interior. For in stance it is denied that the interests of the department of agriculture or the forest service of which Clifford Pinchot is chief. will be recognized as having any important stake in this business.
