FAR FROM CLOSED.
Iatinated Crane Was Victim
OF Political Intrigue.
Asserted As Real Reasons for De-
manding His Resignation-De.
elares He Carried Out Mr..
Taft's Instructions.

New York, Oct. 15.-While Charles
r. Crane, who was appointed minister
to China. and who was recalled just as
he was about to sail for his post, de-
clined today to reveal what his friends
declare are the real reasons for his
recall. One of these friends, however,
Walter L. Fisher, of Chicago, init
mated strongly that the incident was
far from being closed and that revela-
tions Dhich would be made in due
been the victim of a political intrigue.
Mr.. Crane has decided, he said, not to
go into the situation fully now be-
cause of the possibility that a public
discussion at this time might be HARM
full to the public interest.
$50 far as the personal indignity
and official embarrassment that has
occurred has been due to publicity,
the responsibility is on the Depart
ment of State, and not on Mr. Crane"
said Mr.. Fisher.
I'm the long ride across the CONT
nent to Washington Mr.. Crane did not
mention the reason for his recall" he
continued. "He could not, as he did
not know that the offending newspa-
per article had been published and did
not see it until the day after he reach
ed Washington. It is deeply signih-
cant that none of the scores of news
paper men whom he met on his jour-
ney mentioned this article or any Ca
nards,' concerning an American pro-
test to Japan. The Importance Of the
article may be judged from the fact
that it was not suspected of being the
cause until the tip was given in Wash
ington and not from Mr. Crane.
"The possibility of protest was so
much a matter of common knowledge
that the offending article in which it
was mentioned attracted no particular
attention. It was not until after it's
connection with Mr.. Cranes recall
leaked out in Washington that the ia
pan embassy sent to the newspaper
Office for 2 copy of the article"
Mr.. Fisher said it was due to Mr..
Crane also to note that in carrying
out the Presidents wishes that he
should do some vigorous public speak
ing and in the absence of instructions
from the State Department Mr.. Crane
carefully confined himself to the lines
laid down by Mr.. Taft himself in the
famous Shanghai speech, ringing with
vigorous Americanism and so definite
ly friendly to Chinese that it ended all
talk of dismemberment Of China.
When he let them "have it hot" Mr.
Crane talked only on the common in
terests of America and China and he
received no criticism from the De-
partment Of State.

FREAK RAINFALL
With Sky Clear and Sum Shining, Rain
Falls Over o Small Area.

Arlington, Oct. 14.-Quite q strange
and unusual occurrence. which is
causing much interest, is going on
near here. On the Gisenheimer farm
near the Cabarrus line, rain has been
falling over small area for two
weeks or longer. With the sky per-
fectly clear and the sun shining
brightly the rain continues to fall. 5
Some boys first saw the phenome-
non. and as it was an unusual occur
renee, people seemed to doubt the
truthfulness of their statement. Since
then quite a number of people have
visited the place and are convinced
that rain is actually falling. It seems
a mystery which no one is able to
solve satisfactorily.
The boys who first saw the rain say
snow fell there Sunday week ago.

REVOLUTION I'm NICARAGUA.
Insurgents Hold Five Towns-Theil
Number Is Not Known.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Late ad-
vices received today at the State De-
partment show that martial law has
been declared in Managua, the capital
OF Nicaragua, and that President Ze-
laya has decreed the Atlantic coast
ports closed as ports OF entry. It is
also reported that the entire east coast
of Nicaragua is in the possession Of
the revolutionists and that the revolt
has extended to the western part OF
the country.
The closing Of these Nicaraguan
ports is proving an embarrassment to
the steamships which have received
goods for shipment there, and the
State Department has been asked as to
what course should be pursued with
respect to mails destined to eastern
ports as we'll as to interior points.
The State Department has referred
the latter matter to the Postmaster
General for reply, and with respect to
the shipment Of cargoes the Depart
ment as yet has made no reply, but 1t
is believed that freight landed at
closed ports now in the hands Of the
revolutionists are liable to confisca-
ton as smuggled goods, should the
Zelaya government subsequently Sc
cure possession of them

That a destructive storm of wind
and hail swept over west and middle
Tennessee and North Alabama early
tonight Is evidenced by the fact that
no communication of any character

Incoming trains from the storm

lack Of telegraph facilities in giving
orders. There were no evidences of
the storm in Memphis other than a
sudden drop in the temperature.

meagre reports say the damage is ex-

Cleveland, Tenn, twenty-eight miles
from Chattanooga, reports the most

reports cannot be obtained. No loss
of life is reported.

Tom Helm was killed in Lincoln coun-

and wife severely hurt. Carter Ar

Wartrace, was caught in the storm
and has not been heard from. Many
residences were wrecked in Tennes-

struck Atlanta at 500 o'clock this at

dows were broken, chimneys were
blown down, trees uprooted and
houses were unroofed. The property
loss is estimated at at least 100000
There were no casualties. The storm
lasted only twelve minutes, but the
wind attained and held a velocity OF
forty-six miles an hour. Pedestrians
were blown against buildings and in
some instances through windows. The
covers OF umbrellas were stripped
from them by the hail stones, one o1
which weighed fourteen ounces.
