washington, March 20.-What is to
be done with the troublesome Central
American states? The small repub-
hes apparently have not the capacity
for self-government, at least not with
out a strong hand over them. The
United States and Mexico have had
many conferences over them during
the past few weeks. The present Mic
Rraguan trouble may be the last straw,
for the edict has gone out that Nicara-
qua and the others must maintain
peace and show respect to the United
States and Mexico. This respect has
been sadly lacking toward both powers.

America and annex four republics In
the event of further disturbances In
that part OF the woEad.
According TO the story, the question
of intervention In Central America has
been discussed between Washington
and Mexico City for some time, and
the conoluslon has been reached that
annexation In the only solution of the
problem Of ending the periodical rev.
olutions that have been the curse Of
the isthmian republics.
As a result of this private under

/. Section 1854, r. c. 1905, providing
that Misrepresentation in applications
or contracts for insurance shall not
be deemed material unless made with
actual intent to deceive or unless the
matter misrepresented increased the
risk of loss" includes statements in
applications called warranties by the
law OF insurance. Such statutes are
remedial and literally construed.
2. The burden is on the defendant
in an action to recover on life in
surance certificate to show that death
was caused by suicide, although the
proof Of death stated on information
and belief that the insured committed
suicide, where such statement was
made under circumstances that this
statement could not be attributed to
the plaintiff. The proof was not made
by her or her agent.
8. The question whether an insur-
ed person committed suicide is for the
jury when there are circumstances
which are conflicting and show that
death may have been caused through
a criminal assault by another.
4. Motions for extensions OF time
within which to file exceptions to a
charge, and motions for leave to file
an amended motion for a new trial so
