NICARAGUA JAP AN
ALLIANCE AIMED
At AMERICA
Little Republic Is Suspicious OF

WOULD GRANT CANAL ROUTE
President zelaya's Official Organ Says

trail America
WOULD GRANT CANAL ROUTE

Washington, May 18.-While Senior
Pedro Gonzales, special Commission
er from Nicaragua to undertake the
settlement of the vexed Emery claim,
was assuring President Taft at the
white house yesterday of ais govern
ments sincere desire ito maintain
and strengthen the friendship which
the two countries have preserved so
cordially and for so long" diplomats
were smiling automatically behind
their hands. For there arrived in
Washington during the day transla-
ton of a fiery editorial in the official
newspaper of the Nicaraguan govern
ment condemning the United States
and advocating an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Japan, aimed
against this country.
The attack appeared in the Diario
de Nicaragua, which is published in
Managua, the capital. 1t bitterly as
sailed both Honduras and San Saliva
dor for entertaining the American
fleet under Rear Admiral Swinburne
some time ago, and declared that the
United States was endeavoring to be-
come the master of Central America,
with a view of enslaving it's peoples.
AS a means of baking Wasningtons
imperialistic advance, the paper ad
vocates an alliance with Japan, and
urges the dispatch of commission to
Toxic to draw up the articles, and
offer Japan the right to construct
canal through Nicaraguan territory.
The editorial would not have at
tracted attention had 1t appeared in
any other paper than that recognized
as the official organ of the Zelavan
government. The state department
of course. will pay no attention to
the matter Among those knowing
the situation President Taft inspired
still another smile when, in replying
to Senior Gonzales felicitous speech
with one equally felicitous, he closed
with the hope that the Special Com
missioner's Snort sojourn here might
be agreeable"
In company with Minister Espinoza
the special commissioner called at
the State department and had long
conference with Secretary Knox and
Assistant Secretary Wilson. The de-
partment declines to discuss the
methods under which the negotia-
tions are being pressed. or the man
ner in which they are being conduct
ed. 1t was stated. however, that the
prospects are bright for an early set

HASN'T PRISONERS
/. ENOUGH TO RUN
W0RKH0USE
Superintendent Morgan Has
Places For so Men
NEW LAW REDUCES FORCE
Two of Sheriff Godfrey's Long Timers
Sent Up to Help Keep Things
In Motion

Sheriff Fred Godfrey returned Mon
day evening from Rutland where he
went with two prisoners from the
county Jail who will serve out the
balance of their sentences at the
house of correction. The change in
the laws made by the recent legisla-
ture providing that all persons who
receive sentences of less than one
year shall be incarcerated in the
counts jails has resulted in so reduc-
ing the number of prisoners at the
house of correction that there are not
now enough men confined at the in
stitution to keep the different depart
ments in operation.
When the law was changed pro-
viso was made that the governor
might issue orders for the transfer
ring of long time prisoners from the
tails to the workhouse. Since the
present condition of affairs at the
workhouse came into existence a
number of prisoners from the north
ern counties of the state have been
transferred from the jails To Rut-
land and while conversing with Sher-
III Godfrey Monday, Superintendent
Morgan said that ne would be glad to
have so more men sent to the institu-
ton.
The two men taken from the jail
here were William Bowker, who was
sentenced to "a days for stealing an
overcoat, and Henry Scoville who was
given term of similar length under
a failure to pay fine for attempting
to beat a board bill.

EXHIBIT AT Y N C A
OF INTEREST TO
EVERYONE
Gymnasium Turned Into a Model
tuberculosis Exhibit
EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS
Causes, Methods of Treatment and
Prevention of the Great White
PLAGUE Clearly Shown

A free tuberculosis exhibit under
the auspicies of the Vermont state
health department opened in the \.
NJ, C. A. gymnasium this morning at
8 o'clock. The exhibit consists OF
charts and maps showing the prevail
ence of this disease in the United
States, Vermont and. the different
counties of the state. Many photo
graphs are snown of outdoor sleep
ing apartments and porches, and of
views of the Vermont Sanitarium at
Pittsford which was endowed by the
late Senator Redfeld Proctor.
Pictures are also shown of the
means by which the dread disease,
consumption, is spread from
diseased person to one not effected.
An interesting feature of the exhibit
is a contrivance resembling an alarm
clock which strikes every few
minutes and is supposed to denote each
time it's strikes the interval that
elapses between the death of q tu-
berculosis patient in the United
States. By the rate the clock strikes
the number of deaths caused by con-
sumption in this country Is brought to
the mind in a very forcible manner
TIE proper way to prepare bed for
out door sleepers is also shown.
The preventions of tuberculosis
also plainly described and include,
fresh air, sunshine, good food and
rest. The best way to care for
patients in order that those affected
may not transmit the disease to other
members of the family is also among
subject
This evening at 1880 and tomor-
row night at the same hour a lecture
illustrated with stereoptican views
will be given by an authority in the
subjects.
The exhibit will close at o'clock
Wednesday evening. All should avail
themselves of this excellent oppor-
tunity to study the causes and pre-
ventives of the great white plague"
which yearly causes the death of so
many of our fellow country-men.

ing Experience

sistance Frightened AssaiIant Who
is Still at Large

Burlington, May 1S.-Mrs. c.. A.
was the victim of a brutal assault
Sunday at her home, 6S College street
and is on the verge of nervous col
lapse as result.
Mrs. Hubbard said that strange
young man dressed in gray suit and
soft felt nat called at her residence
and asked that he be conducted to the
second floor of the house to look at
some rooms. He was escorted to the
second floor and when in one of the
rooms with Mrs. Hibbard seized her
about the throat without warning and
threw her down. She is a small wom-
an, about 80 years of age, but by fight
ing furiously she loosened the mans
hands so that she could call for help.
No servants were in the house at the
time ard Mrs. Hibbards cries were
only heard by bed-ridden sister who
was in one of the rooms below The
assailant, becoming frightened, fled
after locking Mrs. Hubbard in the
room.
The police were at once notified and
nave placed one man under arrest
pending further examination. The
young man says that he can prove an
alibi. The police do not feel very con-
fident that they have the guilty man
and the search is being continued to-
night by the regular and special Off
GERS.
Mrs. Hibbard is one of Burlington's
most prominent families, being a
daughter of the late M. d. l.. Thomp-
son, and wife of former shoe man
ufacturer here. A man said to have
been discharged recently from an in
sane asylum has been seen about the
city and has been making inquiries
for rooms. The police are looking for
him, but no clew to his whereabouts
has yet been found.
