President Says He Favors Waterway

Washington, Dec. S-Beginning its
session with a warm reception to Pres
ident Taft, who delivered an address
strongly in favor of the waterway inn
proyement convention, the national
rivers and harbors congress assembled
here today. Entering upon his subject
as soon as the applause ceased, the
president declared he was glad to see
the advocates of waterways improve
ment favored policy rather than a
project.
Taft's reference to the plan for
nine feet of water in the Ohio river met
with an outpurst of applause. Taft de-
clared he was heartily in favor of
waterway improvement because of it's
influence in reducing railroad rates as
we'll as its value in the actual trans
portation of the kind of freight rivers
are especially adapted to handle. Taft
cautioned the delegates to remember
there Was>great opposition to the bond
plan in congress, and their wisest
course would be to induce congress to
make declaration in favor of water
ways Improvement and to begin work
with the ordinary appropriation. Once
launched in the enterprise, he said,
congress will be obliged to provide
bonds unless revenues should be ample
for the work
The German ambassador, Bernstorff,
was the next speaker.

Porto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. S.
Martial law in Honduras was pro-
claimed yesterday. The proclamation
of martial law in Honduras is the re-
suit. probably of suspicion that Cen
eral Bonilla will take advantage of the
situation in Nicaragua to invade Hon
duras with a rebel band and regain the
presidency. from which he was deposed
in 1907 by President Davila, with the
aid of Zelaya. Bonilla is suspected Of
intriguing with Guatemala and Saliva
dor with the purpose of bringing about
a revolution in Honduras, overthrowing
the Davila government and then form
ing union between Honduras, Guata-
mala and Salvador for attack on Ze-
laya's government in Nicaragua The
fact that Davila owes his office as
president to aid at critical time to
Zelaya, gives color to the suspicion Of
a secret alliance between Nicaragua
and Honduras, which, however, Davila
denies.

SUBJECTS IN IGNORANCE.
ZeIaya Keeps News of Conditions From
People of West Coast.

Panama, Dec. S.-Passengers arriving
here from Nicaragua state the people
of that republic are kept in ignorance
of what is happening in the country.
So strict is Zelaya's censorship that
residents of the western part of Mic
aragua have not learned of the break
ing off Of diplomatic relations with the
United States. The president of Hon
Honduran minister at Salvador inquir-
ing about events in Nicaragua, after
having waited ten days for reply to
numerous messages sent by him to
Managua.
General Toledo is besieged at Grey
town, which is surrounded on land and
sea by insurgents. General Vasquez,
commander of the government forces
at recent battle near Pama, was court
martialed because of the defeat sueffr-
ed by government troops. This battle
is said to have been desperate one.
A government column entered the fight
with $50 soldiers and left all but four
dead on the field.
One of the arrivals here states that
the government officials at Nicaragua
publicly assert that Mexico will sup
port Nicaragua In any controversy in
which it may become involved with the
United States. No foreign newspapers
are allowed to enter Nicaragua at
points in control of the government.
All passengers landing are searched
and not allowed to bring in arms or
anything which the officials believe
might be used to help the insurgent
cause. The situation in the interior
is reported desperate for everyone, in
cluding Zelaya's soldiers.

DISCLOSE FATE OF ANDRE.
Eskimos Declare White Men Who De.

Ottawa, Ont. Dec S.--An interesting
story which may disclose the fate OF
S. A. Andree. the explorer who left

who never returned is told by Bishop
Albert Pascal OF Prince Albert, who
has been visiting here.
Bishop Pascal has charge OF an i.n-

extensively among the Esklmos of tho
northern part of the region. in order to
learn their language.
On one occasion recently he won't
journey north OF Reindeer Lake and
there met another party of Eskimos.
Noticing a revolver which the priest
carried the Estilnos told him that some
years before IA white house" had de-
scended from the sky. 1t contained
killed many caribou to supply Them
selves with food.
The Eskimo intimated that the white

DIMES EVERY HOUR.
Negro Who Lived Ten Days on Bread
and Water Making Up Lost Time.

Mason City. Dec. 8.-After subsisting
for ten days upon nothing but plain
bread and pure water, Lewis Driver, a
negro of this city, is now consuming
one good square meal every hour. Driv-
er drew thirty days in Jail for assault
and battery and during the last ten
days of his sentence he consigned the
Jail authorities to the depths of Ger
tain we'll known sulphurous region and
refused to work. He even objected
to keeping his own cell clean and the
Jail attendants punished him by reduc-
ingg him to bread and water diet.
Driver persistently refused to work
and his prison keepers persistently fed
him bread and water. The negro grew
very thin and began to assume blush
pallor under his black skin. But he
stuck to his resolve to not work until
his term of imprisonment expired.
Since then his capacity for all sorts
of tnourishment, except bread and
water, has been enormous and his feats
OF eating have attracted the notice of
not few by reason of their frequency
and the amount of food consumed on
each occasion. The negro is shine"
at a barber shop and he leaves his post
as often as, possible to visit a lunch
counter across the street. Even when
ne is unable to go to eat he keeps a
hungry and watchful eye upon the
lunch counter, as tho he perhaps feared
that It might escape him.
