ZeIaya Insists That He Never Gave
Up the Job,
MADRlz is ONLY PROVISIONAL
cites the Floating Of the Nicaraguan
Flag on Mexican Gunboat as
Proof of His Claim--His
.a Wealth Exaggerated.

Cordoba, Mexico, Dec. 29.-Zelaya
declares he is still president of Nj
caragua, although he may never re
turn to assume that office. Madriz
he asserted, is only the provisional
president, and he (Zelaya) has moi
celinquished his Office. He admitted
that, in reply to his request for an
asylum aboard the British cruiser
Clearwater, he was told he could
board her only with the understand
ing that he would agree to leave Nj
caragua forever.
Mexico, on the other hand, he de,
clared, made no reservations in
granting him similar permission.
Zelaya said he was leaving Mica
ragua in the hope that affairs there
would quiet down. .a
In support of his claim the mem
bers of the party said the Guerrero
ioated the Nicaraguan flag In addi-
ton to the Mexican flag. The reports
of his wealth, Zelaya said, We're gross
ly exaggerated. His fortune is not
over 100000. He denied he had
wrongfully obtained any part of his
fortune through government conces'
Sions.

PRESIDENT IS
AFTER TRUSTS
Special Message On Commerce
and Sherman Laws.
DISREGARDS THE OIL DECISION
The President VIII Not Wait For
Ruling by the Supreme Court
Voluntary License For
Corporations.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 29.-Presi-
dent Taft today began the preparation
Of the first of his special messages to
congress. This paper will head with
the amendments which he believes
are necessary in the Interstate com
merce and Sherman antitrust acts.
Recent reports to the contrary not
wfbhstanding, it is known that the
president will take up the antitrust
act and deal with it at great length.
He will also bring forward his ideas
as to issuing federal licenses to cob
porations. The proposed license will
be voluntary one, to be taken advan-
tage of by such corporations as de-
sire to place themselves under federal
Jurisdiction, or left alone, as the di-
rectors or the corporations see fit
1t has been currently reported for
come time that President Taft might
delay his antitrust recommendation
until the supreme court had finally
passed on the recent Standard Oil de-
cision, but he has decided to go for
ward regardless of pending decision.
