A LONG NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
SECURED.

To Congressman William A. Jones
and the Chamber of Commerce is due
the credit fer securing for the local
harbor acetylene gas buoys a long
needed Improvement that the shipping
men of the port had almost dispaired
of getting. The Chamber has been
giving attention to this matter for a
long time. never allowing the authori-
lies at Washington to forget the New"
psrt News harbor and its needs.
The necessity Of having the lights
placed along the battle-ground chan
mel was laid before the lighthouse
board by the Chamber. through Mr.
Jones and a. the tine the officials
of the board admitted that the i'm
provement was one that should be
made. but pleaded lack of funds. 1t
WIS stated, however. that pending the
securing of special appropriation 10
provide for acetylene lights. the board
would at the earliest opportunity pr-
chase smaller and less costly lighted
buoys for use as channel markers in
this harbor. Nothing more was heard
oil its promise. When DR.. Clarence
Porter Jones was in Washington at
tending the Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress recently he went with Congress
man Jones to call upon the light
house board officials. and again urged
the necessity OF giving Newport News
the lighted buoy. Sinse tnen Mr.

CENTRAL AMERICAN
UNION TALK REVIVED
John Barrett Tells Toledo
Chamber Of Commerce Pros
pect is Bright.
Try Associated Press.1

TOLEDO, OHIO, Dec. ld--ln an ac-
dress before the annual meeting be-
fore the Toledo Chamber OF Com
merce tonight John Barrett, director
Ct the international bureau of Amen-
can republics, declared that the pres
ent difficulties in Nicaragua have re-
vived favorable discussion OF union
of the five Central American repub-
lies:
He said in part:
One important Phase.
There is one important phase OF
the Central American situation that
appeals to all those who are interested
in the genesis and evolution OF ma
items. The present difficulties in
Nicaragua have started afresh the
discussion in favor Of the eventual
organization Of the five central Amer
lean republics of Guatemala. Salvador.
Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica
into one government. When the
Central American peace conference
convened at Washington in Decem-
Der, 1907, Elihu Root, then secretary
Of state, spoke hopefully of such a
realization. He held that the forma-
ton of the Central American court of
Justice. to which go all questions be-
tween these countries, was long
step in that direction. His words
were applauded all over Latin
America. Enrique Greel, former Am
bassador CT Mexico to the United
States and now at Washington on
special mission for his government
in connection with the Nicaraguan
crisis, has announced that he looks
forward to the ultimate consolidation
of the five republics. When two
sucl men as Root and Greel, repre-
serting the best craftsmanship of the
United States and Mexico and at the
same time men who are thoroughly
in touch with the Latin American
viewpoint of Pan-American policies,
express these opinions. it must be
admitted that such a movement is
worthy Of serious and sympathetic
consideration by all nations concerned.
Significance Of Union.
"The significance of the proposed
union is heightened by some ccm-
parsons. One nation formed from
these five republics would have an
area OF one hundred and seventy
thousand square miles, or more than
the combined areas OF the six New
England states with New York, Penn
sylvania. and New Jersey added; an
eastern or Atlantic coast line Of nine
hundred miles. equal to the reach
from Boston 20 Savannah, and a west
ern or Pacific shore of eleven hun
dred miles. equal to the distance from
san Diego to Seattle; an annual foreign
trade valued at fifty millions of dol
lars of which nearly half would be
with the United States and popu-
lation exceeding three millions. a
republic Of which these figures OF
area, commerce. and population are
descriptive would certainly be an i'm
portant and potential accession to the
Pan American family of nations.

Costa Rica's Attitude.
MIR. Calve. the Costa Rican minister
to Washington and Mexico, today
gave the Associated Press the follow
ing statement showing his country $
attitude to Nicaraguan affairs:
AS to the revolution, the govern
ment OF Costa Rica has endeavored
to maintain by all means in its power
the strictest neutrality. both in con-
formfty with its traditional policy OF
non-interference In Its neighbors in
ternational affairs and with the pro-
visions OF tine treaty and conventions
OF Washington.
Regarding the differences now UNI
fortunately existing between Mica
ragua and the United States the Cos
"a Rican government earnestly de-
plores the strained relations between
the two countries ard the consequent
situation; while Costa Rica would be
ready to do all within its means toward
a happy solution, 1t has taken no ac-
ton whatever in the matter. the gov
eminent having no opportunity TO CO.
operate TO that end"
Defends Jiminex.
Also with reference TO the pubiica-
items made in which Senior Don Ricar-
do Jiminez. president-elect of Costa
Rica, has been made to appear as
having antiAmerican sentiments,
Minister Calvo emphatically afiirms
what he has already said. that is. that
these are erroneous and incorrect as
sertions. Senior Jiminez. he said. Is
a prominent lawyer. man of high
character and true patriot with a
keen appreciation of Central Ameri-
can sovereignty and an earnest de-
sire that the traditional good rela-
items vetween Costa Rica and The
United States shall continue Us

GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE
THREE CASES
CIRCUIT COURT, WHICH CON
VENES THIS WEEK, WILL HAVE
TO TRY THREE MEN FOR TAX
ING LIVES OF THEIR FELLOW
MEN,

Three negroes are held at the county
jail for murder and one for being ali
accessory to a capital crime, and all
of them are awaiting action on their
cases by the grand jury of the circuit
court, which will be convened Tues
day of this week The men have all
had preliminary hearings, and, with
one exception, the evidence against
them is said to be Of such conclusive
nature that their indictment for muir
der is almost a fOregone conclusion.
The circuit court will be convened
Tuesday and at that time the grand
and petit jUTieS will be formed. Once
the grand jury elects a foreman and
announces organization, the court VIII
deliver the customary charge and the
investigation into the capital cases on
the docket will be started. The proba-
bility is that two murder cases will be
thTeShed out in this county next week
The third case is said to have been
not such an aggravated one, but one
more on the order of an act OF self
defense.
Will Stewart. a strange negro, who
came here with StTikebreakers from
Louisville, is held on a charge of hav-
ing killed negro woman on Manresa
street, in the city, with a Ratchet.
This is a case where strong circum-
stantiaI evidence will play an import
ant part in case the negro is indicted
Coupee Geralds is held for killing
another negro near tuTpentine camp
in the woods some weeks ago The
negro he is charged with having killed
was VIII Shannon, the entire affair
being the outcome OF a game of cards
At this time two negroes received
wounds which produced their deaths
but the death wound of one of them
was received at the hands of the ne
gro GeraldS Is alleged to have killed.
The negro held as an accessory in the
case is said to have furnished Geralds
a revolver and to have told him to
shoot the negro he did shoot
VIII Joiner is another negro whose
life is in jeopardy so far as the crime
is concerned. He is held for having
caused the death of Allen Dasher, a
negro, a week ago, at the Barrineau
camp.
