indications That the Trouble
in Nicaragua VIII Be
Strengthened Out With a
Jerk by Force From Ships.
ZELAYA UNABLE TO STOP
RIOTS IN HIS CAPITAL
This Country Being Urged to
Establish a PrOteCtOrate,
Either SingIy or in Conjunc-
ton With Mexican Republic.
NOTE OF PRESIDENT DIAz

/ Washington, Dec. 14-One of the
/ projects for the solution of the Mica
faguan situation that has been strong
ly urged upon the state department is
/ the establishment of a protectorate,
| either singly by the United States or
| Jointly with Mexico.
This may be regarded as necessary in
the event that the insurgents fail to
| displace Zelaya by their own efforts,
and it may follow an insurgent triumph
that would leave the country with re-
/ sponsible leaders.
It is said precedent Tor such action
could be found in the cases of Santo
Domingo and Cuba. In the first in
stance large sums of money due
/ American citizens, could not be collect
[ ed from the DOMINICAN government
I (then in a state of chaOs) by diplomatic
means. In the case of Nicaragua the
| government has defaulted in payment
( in agreed allOtments on the Emery
claim. In the case of Cuba a state of
| disorder that threatened lives and prop
/ erty of Americans and other foreign
ers was the warrant for intervention.
Movement Expected Soon.
There is reason to believe that a for
ward movement viii be adopted by the
government perhaps as soon as a suf-
fcient number of marines have been
gathered off the Nicaraguan coast. To-
days news from Managua indicating
the imminence Of rioting beyond the
ability OF the local government forces
to suppress, might serve as a basis for
landing the marines aud their dispatch
to Managua if necessary to maintain
order just as was done on the Isthmus
of Panama q few years ago. 1t is not
part of the plan TO maintain such a
force in Nicaragua perna gently, but
only long enough to permit of a fair
and free general election and the estab-
lishment of president pledged 10 OBJ
serve constitutional obligations.
Attitude of Mexioo.
The attitude of the government of
Mexico in the NiCaraguan situation is
set forth in a document that today was
placed in the hands of Secretary Knox
by Governor Creel of Chihuahua.
Governor Creel. who recently arrived
i'm Washington, had an interview with
Secretary Knox this afternoon. Gov
ernor Creel presented a statement from
President Diaz containing his views.
At the state department this after
noon it was announced no statement
could be made with respect to the Mex
lean note, for the present at least, or
until department officials had an oppor-
tunity to give it thorough cOnsidera-
ton Tt is expected, however that this
governments reply may be ready for
delivery to Governor Creel within the
next day or two.

Ten People Dead and Property
Loss viii Reach 100000.
ENTIRE GULF COAST is SWEPT
e.owsll Built After Former Devasta-
Saves City From Complete
Destruction.

Galveston, Tex, July 22.-A hurri-
cane eoualng in violence the one that
dsvastated this city nine years ago,
swent in from the Gulf of Mexico yes
terday, did 500, 900 worth of damage
n the city proper, cost the lives of
about a dozen people, cut off all rail
and telegraphic communication with
tbe mainland and then swept on inland,
leaving wake of destruction and suf-
fering behind.
Owing solely to tn warnings sent
mt by the weather bureau that had
first detected the storm in the Carib-
bean sea, the shipping at the port
here escaped damage, all vessels being
made snug before the fury of the gale
struck. The 17-foot seawsll, built
two years after the former devastation
of the city, kept the huge waves from
eating away the land as they had done
before, but this wall was not sufficient
to keep the water from the lower
streets, from whence, it poured into
the warehouse cellars, damaging thou
sands of dollars worth of goods.
Ten people were drowned in the
wster that swept over a portion Of
Tsrpon pier, seven miles from the
city. They were washed from the
rock promentories into the gulf and
the bodies have not yet been recovered.
During the height of the gale a
heavy dredge which was at work in
the channel behind the island, broke
from its mornings and was swept into
the steel railroad bridge that connects
Galveston with the mainland. The
impact of the blow at once severed tel
ephone and telegraph wires, and for a
time fears were felt on the mainland
that repetition of the disaster of
nine years ago had occurred.
Sweeping westward, the tropical
storm, which had been central over
the gulf for "a hours or more struck
Galveston shortly after IL o'clock. The
wind attained velocity of 68 miles
an hour, and heaved the waters of
Galveston bay up against the island
and flooded the section that had not
been raised. The water backed up
into the main streets. The principal
damage, however, was confined to the
beach front, where bath houses and
pleasure piers were swept away, but
shipping was not disturbed.
A hurricane for East Texas was fore
casted early in the day, and when the
storm broke. Galveston was prepared.
The inhabitants of the few scattered
houses sought safety, as did the yes.
sells riding at anchor in the bay. The
fury Of the storm soon abated and the
anxiety of those who entertained fears
OF another tidal wave were thus early
relieved. So short was the duration
OF the storm. that a Mallory line
steamer, booked to start for New York
shortly after noon, left on time.

Show Great Destruction.
Houston, Tex, July 23.-The Wes,
india hurricane that swept from one
end of the Texas coast to the otber
wednesday brought death to l2 outside
OF Galveston, fatally injured four and
seriously wounded 16. Whole towns
were devastated and the damage will
reach to hundreds of thousands of dol

capped. The same situation is reported
from Lissie, Nowatta and East Ber-
nard.
AT Elcampo the electric light plant
is wrecked, all elevators are badly
damaged and almost every church in
town is wrecked. In the oilfield around
Markham derricks were blown down
and wells were stripped of machinery.
At Galveston Bay the situation is
not as bad as it was first reported. No
part of the railroad bridge which spans
the arm of the bay between the island
and Virginia point was washed away,
but 30 feet of the structure was thrown
out of alignment by huge barge
Communication was established this
afternoon with Angleton, town of
1000 people on the Gulf coast south
OF Galveston. Angleton reported that
nearly every house in the town had
been badly damaged as result of yes
terday's hurricane.
Damage from the storm in the Texas
rice belt will reach $1OO, 900. The
towns of Rosenberg, Random and East
Bernard suffered.
A dispatch from Sabine Pass says
the gale caused record breaking tides
there, but no serious damage was done.
The streets were flooded, but the
waters receded rapidly.

LOSS is HEAVY IN LOUISIANA
Grave Fears for Safety of People in
Small Towns Entertained.

New Orleans, July 23.-That there
was greater loss of life in Southwest
ern Louisiana than that reported up to
l O'Clock today is confidently believed.
Several hundred people have taken
refuge in the United States biological
station at Cameron, La. The waters
of the gulf last night covered large
portion of the parish, rising to point
within six inches of the high water
mark made during the storm which
destroyed Galveston nine years ago.
Much stock has been destroyed.
The gravest fears are still being en-
tertained in connection with the fate
of many persons at coast towns. Be-
tween Calcasieu Pass, La, and Sabine
Pass, Tex, there are several hundred
people who have failed to get into COM
munication with the outside world
since the hurricane. Heavy damage
and possible loss of life is feared at
Johnson's Bayou, La.
Reports of damage at settlements
and towns as far south as Brownsville,
Tex, are coming in.
1t is reported that many houses were
wrecked in Brazora and Allenhurst.
At Richmond, an interior town, Sc
houses are reported to have been par
TALLY wrecked.
On account of anxiety felt over the
fate of 1000 or more persons in at
tendance on the State Baptist Young
Peoples encampment at Palacios, on
the coast of Texas, an effort is being
made to reach that point. All tele-
graph wires are down as the result OF
storm which swept the entire coast.
Further loss of life is reported from
Cameron Parish, La. Basile Dagg, 9
fisherman, and his young son were
caught by the high tide which resulted
from the hurricane and were drowned.
Another son, IL years old, managed to
escape.
The st. Louis-Brownsville Mexican
railway has been advised that the dam
age at Bay City, Tex, is $3.50, 900,
with two dead and six seriously In
jured, many others being slightly
hurt.

VOLCANO BURSTS FORTH.
sumatran Villages Are Devastated by
Eruption and Floods.

Victoria, B. c., July 22.-News was
brought by the Norwegian steamer
Iricolor, which passed in today from
Sourabaya, Java, of disastrous earth
quake on the west coast of Sumatra,
the second largest island in the Malay
archipelago, in mid-June.
According to the report received by
the Trieolor 200 lives were lost. The
earthquake followed an eruption of
Mount Korintji, volcanic peak IL, 400
Ieet high, and inland so miles from
indrapura. Mount Korintji has long
oeen supposed to be extinct, its crater
navlng been filled with large lake.
Following the eruption of the vol
eano and the earthquake there were
torrential rains, flooding the rivers and
causing additional losses.

German public opinion applauds the
harsh sentence Of twenty-one months
Imprisonment and hard labor inflicted
Oh the motorman of the electric sub
way train responsible for the disaster
last September In which nineteen lives
were lost, a Berlin correspondent OF
the New York Times says.
The sentence exemplifies the German
theory that criminal negligence re-
quires to be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law In all cases as terri
bic reminder to all persons whose oc-
cupation has to do with the care OF
human lives.
The motorman In question submitted
defense which would have cleared
hiIn in an American court, but ne was
made martyr OF the immutab,e Tell,
ton practice of holding somebody re-
sponsible for every accident that oc.
ours on railway lines and Furnishing
him In accordance with the damage
done.
The result Of this system is a maxi.
mum OF care and precaution, which
makes travelling on German railways
safer perhaps than on any other great
trunk lines In the world. No accident,
large or small, is ever permitted ia
pass without the most rigid investiga.
ton, and the cause and culprit are al.
ways detected and penalties invariably
inflicted. This is the rule whether the
lines are owned by the state or pri.
vate corporation. The motorman, who
has just been sentenced, was an EN-.
ploye Of private company.

Obituary Of Joseph P. Massey

The news of the terrible accident
that struck down Joseph p. Massey
near Sun City, Kansas on the morn
ing OF December ., 1908, was shock
Ofindescribable magnitude, to the fam
lily, as he had left his home only short
time before on load of baled hay, in
company with his son, Ralph, they
having been baling and loading out
several car loads during the fall and
winter. When they reached the cross
ing mill northwest of Sun City, MIR.
Massey alighted from the load Of hay
and walked down the track, Ralph
going east on the wagon road. After
crossing Turkek Greek, Ralph noticed
his father on the railroad and. know
ing that it was almost train time, tried
TO attract his attention. A moment
later he heard the train coming and
| became alarmed, knowing the con-
| dition Of his fathers hearing. He
climbed of the wagon and started to
run across the field in an attempt to
reach his father and direct his atten-
| tion to the Oncoming train, but could
not reach the scene of the accident
before the train, and while at a con-
siderable distance he saw the massive
engine hurl his father from the track.
The accident happened at 1852 A. NJ.
The train, after striking Mr.. Massey,
ran distance of 1875 yards before COM
ing to stop. Mr.. Massey was struck
in the back, his right leg being brok-
en- and almost completely severed just
| above the ankle, the back and uppe r
part of his head being crushed in.
He was thrown to the left side of the
| railroad track. The train backed up

relatives had reached the injured man,
among them his son, Ralph. He was
put into the baggage coach and taken
to the depot and from there was car
ried to the home of his brother-in-law,
Thomas Hatfield, where he died at g.
45 A. NJ, without gaining conscious
ness. The wife and other children
were notified as soon as the accident
occurred and arrived in short time
to witness the terrible scene. After
his death, he was removed to the
Massey homestead, three miles north
west of Sun City where the body lay

School Land Questions

So many questions have been asked
since the attorney generals opinion
on school land leases has come out
that the Index has procured COPY of
! his opinion relating to the subject, for
publication, and we produce it here
| with. The attorney general holds that
not only are school land leases void in
cases in which school land has not
been appraised for five Year,, but petit
! tionS to expose the land to sale are al
so void. 1t seems that about all that
has been done in the sale and leasing
of school land is void, according to
Mr.. JackSon'S opinion. His opinion
follows:
1.-THE Constitution of the State of
Kansas requires a revaluation of school
lands every five years and school land
leases are subject thereto, and in the
absence OF such retaliation, the school
land leases are void. Land which is
not leased is open to homestead settle
ment and any person may settle upon
any vacant tract of school land and
thereafter within ten days must make
an affidavit of the fact of his settle
ment and file the same with the Coun-
ty Clerk. He must continue to reside
on the land for six months, after
which the land will be appraised and
the settler will have the exclusive
right to buy the land at the appraised
valuation, and when he does buy it he
is required to pay one-tenth of the pur-
chase price in cash and the balance
may run twenty years at six per cent.
and when the contract of purchase is
fifteen years old, the purchaser may re-
new that contract for twenty years
longer at four per cent interest per
annum. mother words, the State
does not want this purchase money.
All it desires is the interest for the
support Of common schools, but the
state will accept the full payment
whenever the purchaser so desires.
There is another way to purchase
this land, and that is for some person
to take the trouble to circulate petit
ton and secure the signature of twen-
ty houSeholderS of any township where
the land lies Whereupon the land is
appraised and sold at auction by the
County Treasurer to the highest bid
der, no bid being accepted for less than
the appraised valuation. The terms
of purchase are the same as those pre-
Scribed for settlers. but when the land
is bought at auction, no previous set
Element, or any settlement, is requir-
