VIM. Boatman Writes an Inter-
esting Letter.

Honduras, for a season helping
his brother, Robert Boatman, and
Eddie Johnston, late Of near
Santa Fe, in the shipment of chic
lie and mahogany wood TO the
States. Mr.. BOatman writes
back to his wife at Centralia
under date of January 18th and
we are permitted to copy the
following therefrom:
| want to tell you about the
society stunt l went through
with yesterday. The Governor
of the Colony returned this week
from an extended visit to Eng
ldng and the old bachelor sur
prised his people by bringing
home with him a brand new bride.
Their eat home" was announced
for yesterday from 4 to 6. /
wanted TO beg off, but Robert
would have me go. 1t was quite
a show to me. A formal affair
and 1 did not have to say or do
much. At the front gate stood
a guard, a soldier, whose face
was as black as tar, but whose
uniform was very bright, most of
it red. He stood at attention so
stifily that he could not even turn
his eyes, much less his head We
got by him safely, however, and
pushed our way in to where the
Governor and bride stood receiv-
ing. By them stood the Cover
nor's aide, three-fourths mu-
latto negro, in full uniform and
sword by his side, who wa5 sup
posed to do the introducing.
After a few words to the Cover
nor and his bride we mingled
with the crowd for a season. The
people in general were of all
shades-frOm a three-fourths mlI.
latto to a pure Caucasian. All
kinds of drinks were served. We
cut the ice cream, also the whiskey
and took a simple lemonade. The
wedding cake was a monster; !
am told it cost near $400. The
Governors house attracted my
attention. 1t is the prevailing
type for this climate-just a skel-
eton, all doors and windows, no
plastering whatever inside. The
joists and beams are surfaced
nicely and painted, withal max
ing a neat appearance. A large
lawn veranda extends all around
the house, well shaded with
trees that are native to this eli,
mate. You will understand the
trees are now all in foliage-just
as green here now as you ever
saw trees in Missouri in June.
The above was my first taste
of high life here.
We have no coal SCOT or dust
or house flies here, but we have
plenty of mosquitoes, and sand
flies which bite worse than mos.
quitoes.

His Coincidence,

An English lord used to tell a story of sheriff substitute he once knew slightly.
 Although he was a very religious man. the sheriff had his faults. and one of these was that he had a habit of using strong language without re aIiZing what his words implied. The sherit1'S best friend was the minister of the parish and Il great misfortune befell the reverend gentleman by the death of his wife.
 The sheriff wished to express his sympathy. but he found himself quite at loss to knew what to say. He sat for q long inle scratching his head and puZZling himself to know what lie could say to the minister, At last he 5lurtel out. w ell. minister. this is q d--l of business. ."-Loudon Express

CROMWELL MUST
GIVE TESTIMONY
Grand Jury Will Compel
Him to Divulge Details
of Canal Deal.
Continued from First Page)

Nj Cromwell is expected To return.
Should he not come back, however, it
is within the power OF the grand jury
to subpoena him, no matter in what
part OF the country he may be-
Contrary to the general impression,
the grand iury's arm iu criminal pro
ceedings can reach into any part of
United States territory. even TO the
Philippines, although its authority TO
summon witnesses is limited ia civil
cases to a radius of one hundred miles
of the District.
When asked today to state whether
Mr.. Cromwell would bee compelled
to come before the grand jury
and testify, Stuart MCNamarar As
sistaut United States District At
tOTneE. who Is cooperating with
United states District Attorney Daniel
w. Baker in the conduct of the iuVesu-
cation, declined to discuss the matter
I'm reply 10 a query, however he made
II plain that the grand jury could sum
mon Nj Cromwell from any part OF
the country 10 give them any and an
information on the subject now under
the probe.
The session of the grand jury today,
which began at II o'clock in the morn
ing, and lasted only two hours, was
taken Up with the examination of the
various witnesses summoned from In
diauaDolis. They included Hilton y.
Brown, general manager of the Indian
apOlts News; Bart Parker, Edward
Harding, and James u. Homaday; JO-
Seph Barry, township assessor Albert
Sahm, the county auditor, and Charles
Clarke, a member OF the Indianapolis
News business staff
The gentlemen from Indiana were ac-
COmpanjed by John W Aerkes in the
capacity of attorney. Mr.. Aerkes was
not permitted inside Of the grand jury
room, but advised the witnesses on
matters OF law.
To e. Times reporter, Mr. YeTkes made
the statement that the witnesses did
not produce any books or papers in tie
grand jury room
Contrary 10 the general supposl-
ton. said AR Herkess the Indiana
polls News is not a corporation. 1t is
owned 10y private parties
Irving G.. Sauters a special agent of
the Department OF Justice, reported TO
District Attorney Baker today the re-
suit OF an investigation that he has been
carrying on in indianapolis I'm conucc-
ton with the present grand jury in
quiTy.
The nature of his report was not made
public, but IL Is understood his trip to
Indiana was made for the purpose OF
obtaining data TO be used in the eXaml-
nation OF witnesses summoned from that
State
The fact that twenty-five of the twen-
ty-IOuT grand jurors were on hand in
dicates the lively interest that the mem
uers OF that body are taking IN the mat
ter. Only thirteen members, Including
Foreman John r. Devine, are required
so be present to transact business.
Close friends OF Vice President Fair
banks today emphdtically denied that
ne owns any stock in the Indianapolis
News.
The failure OF the witnesses from IN
diana 10 submit books and papers will
not interfere with the progress Of the
investigation, as IL IS said, Special
Agent Sauter has obtained all the in
formation that might be obtained from
such books OI papers
