VERY PECULIAR
 CRIMINAL CASE

Cincinnati, November 2s-tspecial) )-The case of George B. Shaw. filed the other day in the United States circuit court of appeals, is said by lawyers to present a feature seldom found in a criminal case. After a conviction for stealing money that Shaw confessed to have stolen, the appellate court reversed the finding on freed him. Then the postal authorities caused his indictment on another charge and convicted him. He is appealing from
 the second conviction to the court that
 freed him of the first charge.
 Shaw lives in Louisville. He was em-
 ployed as transfer mail clerk in the rail-
 way station in Louisville. His business
 was to transfer mail bags from one train
 to another and letters deposited in the
 mail box in the railway station to the
 mail cars. Suspecting him of tampering with the mails, the postoffice inspectors deposited a decoy letter When they ar- rested Shaw they found the letter in one coat pocekt and s4 in another pocket, Shaw collapsed on his arrest and ad- m1tteu ne ntiu ldfken IIle 9f ITOLn d letter,
 and that he had neglected to mail the decoy letter. The postal authorities thought so well of his s4 confession that | they caused his indictment for stealing ene s4 and ignored the decoy letter prop osition.
 When Shaw's conviction reached the l United States circuit court of appeals the | judges found that the indictment failed | to specify that Shaw took the money 'in | the regular course of his duty a | transfer clerk That omission was fatal | to the indictment so the court set Shaw | free and he could not be tried again on | the S4 letter Then he was indicted on l the charge of abstracting the decoy let | ter from the mails. He was convicted. | The testimony showed that he had not 1 opened the letter; that 1t was not unusual ] for mail clerks to carry letters In their
 clothes from the depot box to the trains
 and that the government failed to pro- l vide the clerk with receptacle in which l to transfer the mail.
 ! An effort was made to get into the rec | ord of the second case some reference to | the first conviction, but the trial judge | prevented that.

JAMES J. HILL
 IS PESSIMISTIC

St. Paul, Minn., November cs.-(special.) James J. Hill today took occasion to qualify the statement made by Brad streets this week to the effect that con- sumption of food products had caught up with the production. If the report is authentic the great railway magnats says it foreshadows a new danger point
 When the consumption of good prod- ucts Is close on to the production" he said, when shown the statement. there is danger of food famine. We are not exporting foodstuffs as we were. We are consuming them ourselves. The reas- on for higher prices this year. therefore. sinners down to basis of supply and demand. The Bradstreets statement gives a summary of the crop year of 1909 and places the yield of tho six leading cer- calls as 7.6 per cent larger than in 1908, which was itself declared a bountiful year. The present crop is only { per cent below the aggregate record yield ee the past"

TROOPS WILL LAND
 IN NICARAGUA

Washington, November 2S.-(Special.)- )- Plans for putting United States regular troops into Nicaragua were completed yesterday by the war department. AS soon as the expected word is received from the state department a large force of regulars will be hurried forward to occupy the republic. Orders have been given to assemble transports on the Pa cifio coast.
 At short notice this government Is pre- pared to land a fighting force of more than 15OO marines and sailors. Within two days that number can be increased by some 600, and inside of a week there can be poured Into Nicaragua from the naval force a number approximating 25o0 men.
 It Is figured that an occupation by army troops can be completed within less than 10 days.
 Secretary Knox held long conference today with President Taft on the Central American revolt. It was soon after the secretary returned to his department that unusual activity was noticeable among the big officials of the war department. Secretary Dickinson had a conference with the chief or star or the army deh- eral Bell. Later General Bell and several members of his staff got together.
 The navy is ready to strike. Assistant Secretary Winthrop, although disclaim- ing any knowledge of a decision Of the United States to take possession of Mica ragua now, explained that he is keeping closely at his post in order to be able to respond to any emergency demand upon his department in the absence of secre- tary Meyer
 Tonight this dispatch came from Mica ragua;
 'There is absolutely no truth in the report circulated in the United States to- day and cabled here for confirmation, that MT. Caldera, the American vice coH- sul at Managua, has been imprisoned by President Zelaya. MT. Caldera Is at lib- erty and is attending to the duties of his office" af

WOODS POLICY IS
 LENIENT TO MEN

New York, November 2S.-Soldiers con- victed by courtmartial of minor offenses and dismissed from the army should not be branded as convicts or permanently barred from re-enlistment in all cases, ac- cording to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. in his first annual report today as comman- der of the department of the east.
 General Wood also expresses the opin- ion that it would benefit the country to turn back into civil life a number of trained soldiers each year.
 "In view of the fact" he said. "that it Is not the policy of the United States to maintain a large army, it is believed that the interests of the country will be served best by turning back into the population each year as many trained soldiers as possible. To this end, re-enlistments should be limited to non-commissioned officers and privates first-class.

BOAT SAVED WITH
 MANY OF CREW

Astoria, Ore, November 2S.-A lifeboat containing Captain Snyder one passen- ger and nine members of the crew of the steamer Argo, who put off from that ves- sel when the craft was about to founder off Tfllamook bay Friday night, reached the Columbia river lightship today The Il occupants were taken aboard the lightship and will be sent into Astoria.
 The news of the safety of the missing boat which had practically been given up for lost, was brought by the tug Wallula. The Wallula was able to get close enough to the lightship to talk with persons aboard the vessel through a megaphone. but the sea was too high to permit the Wallula to take off the ship wrecked men.

ZELAYA TOO LATE.
 WITH PROPOSAL

Bluehelds Nicaragua, November B. (SpeciaL)-(By Wireless from Colon .)-It Is officially stated that President Zelaya is willing to resign his office and leave the selection of his successor to the Mic araguan congress. The proposition is absurd for the reason that the congress in reality does not exist.
 The deputies with the exception of those appointed by Zelaya himself are either in the penitentiary or fugitives from the country. His partisans would naturally select as his successor Senor Irias or some other Zelaya satellite, who would continue the oppression which has caused the revolution.
 Zslayas willingness to resign and his proposal that congress dominated by fear select a successor would furnish poor satisfaction to the Nicaraguans. The whole thing is merely another instance of Central American diplomacy

 IN NARROW LIMITS

Sherman. during a recent visit to Albany. attempted to identify a young man who wanted a money order cashed in the capital postoffice, but pay ment was refused, the clerk declaring that he did not know the vice president

POET SAILS ID
 MEET HIS FATE
British Lampooner Comes to
 Meet Richard Le GaIIienne
AMERICAN IS IN WAITING
Watson Is Said to Be Furious at Le- GaIlienne Over Criticism of Poem But Latter Will Face Situ-
 atlon Readily.

London, November 2S.-(Special. )-Wil Ham Watson, the poet, has sailed to meet the poet Le Gallienne. In order to escape the reporters who have been trying to get additional statements from him, Watson yesterday went to Liverpool and Is now aboard the Lusitania, bound for Amer ica
 There is no doubt that the poem ''The Poet With the Coward's Tongue"s is re- sponsible for the sailing of Watson. He has the idea that the American public Is hostile to him and he proposes to justi- fy himself for writing 'The Woman With the serpent's Tongue"
 While Watson himself declines to affirm or deny that Mrs. Asquith was the sub ject of the poem that has raised such stir and led to international poetic cpl sode, his reply to the statement of John Lane. the publisher. that Mrs. Asquith was not the woman aimed at is signifi- cant.
 Lane, when the poem raised a storm, said that Mrs Asquith was not the wom- an in question.
 What business has Lane to make such & denial?'' said Watson to his friends, which remark was taken as a repudiation of the denial.
 The real story of the facts that led up to the writing of the poem are interest ing to English society. Watson, 1t Is thought may make some statement later and probably he will gay he was justified. The story told by his friends, the author ship of which is laid to Watson, Is as follows
 Watson was invited to take tea with Mrs. AsQuith in Downing street. Imme- diately the hostess began what Watson believed to be premediated attack on his personal friends. The men were of the opposite political party and she was aware they were her guests most inti- mate friends. AS a guest Watson mildly dissented. but the hostess continued to villify them. He then wrote the ''Wom- an With the Serpent's Tongue"
 Watson's friends say he is furious over the attack of Le Gallienne For years they have been the best of friends, oc- cupied the same rooms and borrowed money from each other. Watsons anger is said to be due to the fact that he be- lieves the American, before writing the poem, should have written to him and asked his reason for the attack.
 The arrival of Watson and the meet ing of the pair will be anxiously awaited by society here.

AIsop Case Hangs Fire.

washington, November T.-Confrma- ton of the report that the King of Eng land is to act as arbitrator in the Alsop claim dispute between the United States and Chile was not given out by the state department tonight. It was pointed out, however that the agreement to leave the matter to the British monarch would scarcely have been reached without first sounding the arbiter as to his willingness to serve. This. in itself, is accepted here as meaning that King Edward already has announced his willingness to accept the task and decide the controversy.

SUGAR TRUST CASE
 TO BEGIN TODAY

New York. November &-(Special )-The federal grand jury today is known to have been carefully weighing the evil dence presented to it against two of the men "higher up'' in the sugar trust for participation in the underweighing and other frauds.
 United States District Attorney Wise and Special Prosecutor Stimson held an extended conference Saturday afternoon to consider the advisability of having the grand jury withhold the indictments until after the trial of Bendernagel, Spitzer and other minor employees of the trust. Their trials will begin Monday, and 1t is be- lieved that within few days enough will be brought out to show not only guilty knowledge on the part of at least two of the trust officers to warrant their in- dictment. but also that they actually au- thorized the payment of the money with which government weighers were bribed.

John W. Day of Copiah county claims the banner cotton bale of the year, and it may be that 1t is justified This bale weighs 57o pounds and sold for 25 cents per pound, netting $143.50 and to which must be added the premium of s7.5o that was awarded 1t by the judges df the late State Fair being the best ginned and best compressed bale shown there. When cotton sells for $50 per bale the farmer is making more money than government land offices
