is expected TO be the last and most
important of the series of speeches he
has been making in explanation of
the legislation for currency reform to
be recommended to Congress by the
National Monetary Commission. The
members of the Chamber of Com
merce hold decided views on the cur
rency question, and will doubtless put
many interroeations of pertinent
character to the Rhode Island states
man. An attempt may be made to in
veigle him into a statement on the
tariff, the chamber having adopted a
resolution on this subject which reads
as follows:
Whereas, The present system of
tariff construction, based upon politi-
cal influence, the representations of
special interests and inadequate and
imperfect information, is not produc-
tive of results conductive to the pro-
per development of the business in
terests of this country and our foreign
trade; and
Whereas, the Congress in the pro-
per preparation and adjustment of
tariff schedules, should be provided

AMERICANS
WERE SHOT

New Orleans, La, Nov. 1S.-A cable
from Panama says that passengers
arriving from Nicaragua today say
reign of terror exists in the region
controlled by President Zelaya- The
government troops are rounding up
every person suspected OF sympathy
with the revolutionists and execut-
ing them without trial.
More than five hundred suspects
have been shot and the bloody work
continues. Woman relatives of the
Revolutionary sympathizers have been
subjected to inuignities and tae refu-
gees declare 1t is time for the civiliZ
ed powers to interfere and put an END
to such atrocities.
American Warships on the Way.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-Two Ameri-
cans with the revolutionary army in
Nicaragua nave been captured and
su-nCnarily shot. Two American war
vessels have been ordered to proceed
to Nicaragua Immediately and the
meeting of the new Nicaraguan min
lister with President Taft has been
Indefinitely postponed.
The names of the men executed are
Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon
They were sentenced to death by
President Zelayas order. The brutal
ity of the government in ordering
the execution of these nen without a
trial of any sort is likely to result in
this government taking drastic meas
ures. President Taft was so incensed
that he Immediately announced he
would have no communication witA
the new Nicaraguan minister.

TOMORROW

Ell Paso, Nov. lS.-The United
States Senate Irrigation COMMITTEES,
headed by Senator Carter, of Mon
tana, spent today at the site of the
Elephant Butte dam north of Ell Paso
in New Mexico. This will be the
greatest irrigation project In the
world, larger even tnan the famous
Assouan dam In Egypt. 1t will cost
eight millions and will require eight
years to construct. The lake to be
formed by the dam will be forty miles
long and will hold the entire flow of
the Rio Grande for three years. The
lake will irrigate 225,O0O acres of
land in New Mexico, Texas and Mex
leo. The building of the dam fulfills
treaty obligation with Mexico. That
country complained for twenty years
against the stoppage of the flow of
the Rio Grande and the matter was
finally settled by the United States
agreeing to inpound the waters of
the International stream and divide
them with Mexico.
