DOG SUICIDES

M. Camille Flammarion, in an article
written for Paris contemporary, dis
cusses the question whether it is really
possible for dogs to commit suicide like
human beings, and concludes in the
affirmative.
His remarks were occasioned by the
alleged suicide of a st. Bernard dog,
which threw himself under motor bus
in the Place st. Sulpice recently, an
hour after mistress demise.
He argues that the dog may be as
sumed to have known as we'll as
human being that a motor bus could
crush him to death, and when he got in
front of its wheels he probably did so
as the quickest way to end his grief at
his mistress demise.
He relates another story, which. he
says, came under his own notice, Of a
dog which threw himself into a river
and deliberately held his head under
the water until he drowned because his
master. who did not wish to keep him
any longer, had driven him away from
his home.
From these and many other incidents
which he recalls he concludes that the
stories of dogs having committed sui
eide are not so incredible as they may
seem at first sight, and he adds that
they may even have borrowed the in

A MISTAKEN FRESHMAN

1t is said to be a popularity of the
island of Montserrat that the negroes
speak with a rich Irish brogue This
phenomenon is explained by the fact
that in the seventeenth century the col
ony was peopled almost entirely by
the Irish. In 1.-THE Cradle of the Deep
Sir Frederick Treves gives the follow
ing incident illustrative of the care
with which this dialect has been pre-
served. 1t is quoted from Ober
An Irishman fresh from Donegal ar
rives at Montserrat, and leaning over
the steamers rail addresses himself in
the following terms to a coal black ne
gro, who has come alonside with pro-
visions:
''Say, Cuffee, phwat's the chance for
a lad ashOre?"
Good, yer honor, if ye're not afraid
of wurruk. But me names not Cuffee,
an phase We it's Pat Mulvaney"
"Mulvaney? An do ye name to say
ye're Oirish?"
"Oi do.''
"The saints defend US! An how long
have yer been out here?"
"a matter of tin year or so.''

"QuITE soD


When the late Louise Chandler Moul-
ton was in London in the late '7Os she
noticed the servility, as a rule, of the
shopkeepers. 1t is a comfort, to be
sure, not to be bullied into buving
things not really desired but strongly
recommended by the tradesmen. In her

PERFECTLY EQUIPPED

When the large and healthy looking
individual who had asked at the door
for "a little something to eat'' was told
that he might have it if he would work
a while at the wood pile he shook his
head mOurnfully.
I've got the ague," he explained,

SUFFRAGE CAUSE TO
BE AIDED BY DRAMA
WOMEN OF CHICAGO FORM
THREE COMPANIES
Performers, Managers and Stage
Hands All Drawn Exclusively
from the Ranks Of the
Organization

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The gospel of
votes for women will be spread
through Illinois by means of the
drama. Three companies are being or
ganized in Chicago for performances
of plays dealing with suffrage. The
performers, managers, stage hands and
property boys are to be drawn from
the ranks Of the suffragist party ex-
clusively.
The company nearest organization is
one made up of students of the Uni
versity of Chicago. There Is a suffra-
gist league composed of students, many
of whom are undergraduates and
they will present a play under the
stage direction of Mrs. F. Gurney
Stubbs.
The Northwestern University league
is also truning its attention to the pre-
sentation of a drama along the same
general lines for the benefit of the
North Shore and Mrs Katherine
Waugh Culloch will be sponsor as we'll
as stage director and property di-
rector.
More elaborate than these, however,
is the dramatic enterprise under con-
sideration In which Mrs. Culloch as
well as Mrs. Stubbs and, perhaps, Mrs.
Lillian Duncanson, president Of the
Political Equality league. and Mrs. Ella
Stewart, president of the Illinois Equal
Suffrage league, will be performers.
This play probably will be presented
In a downtown hall or theater.
Meantime the smaller towns are
clamoring for the cooperation of Mrs
Stubbs and other suffragist leaders OF
Chicago in helping them to arrange
theatrical performances.

Zelaya. had been seated in one of them
he posed for half dozen photograph
ers.
His baggage included two valises
filled to their capacity with American
gold and a third fairly bursting with
paper money. These had been closely
guarded throughout the trip from
Sallna Cruz.
At his hotel Zelaya first received a
number of personal friends and then
the newspaper men. There were nc
Mexican officials among his callers,
but Zelaya said he expected to see
President Diaz within a few days.
Still the President
He repeated his assertion that he
was still the head of the Nicaraguan
government.
To avoid confusion he has adopted
the title of "titular president"
81 am the titular president of MIC
aragua and still at the head of the
government" he declared. II do not
believe Madriz will be successful as
president as / do not consider him
versed in military affairs. Estrada Is
acceptable to the people of the in
terror.
"I am out of politics and possibly
will engage in business in Mexico
The only way to discontinue disturb
ances throughout Central America will
be found in the consolidation of all
the republics. Now is as good a time
as any for the United States and Mex
leo to engage in a friendly interven-
tion to that end. / believe ii will be
possible to secure as the head of this
proposed consolidation a good man,
and one acceptable to all"

ESTRADA REFUSES TO
END FIGHT AND PLANS
TO BESlEGE MANAGUE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Doubting
the sincerity of President Nadriz, who
has made representations to the revolu-
tionary army in Nicaragua with the
establishment of peace as the ostensi-
BILE object in view, General Estrada has
declined to suspend hostilities and is
determined to push his army on toward
Managua.
A cable dispatch from Estrada dated
Bluefields, December 30, received to-
night by Dr. Castrillo, representative of
the provisional government in Nicara-
qua, indicated the attitude of the revo-
lutionists toward the proposition made
by the new president. It's text follows:
'Madriz has asked me to suspend
hostilities, but our military operations
cannot be suspended, because we know
Madriz is making conscriptions of
troops from the interior and is foment-
ing a division between the eastern and
western sections of the republic.
"You know that this procedure can
only result in more bloodshed and the
foundation of anarchy in our father
land. (Signed)
"ESTRADA,"

CONSUL TO BE SENT
TO MANAGUA TO GET
FACTS ABOUT CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-As the
state department has had much dith-
cultv in obtaining from Vice Consul
Caldera at Managua important details
of recent happenings in the Nicaraguan
capital, it has decided to send Consul
Olivares, now on leave in Washington,
to Managua to take charge of the con-
sulate there.
The department is inclined to attrib-
ute Mr. Caldera's unsatisfactory mes
sages to the fact that he is oVereco-
nomical in spending money for cable
grams, the toll on which is 25 cents a
word.
A dispatch was received from Mama
qua today that it was currently re-
ported there that before he left Mama
qua Zelaya distributed 10000 rifles
among his followers. Military activity
at Managua and on the west coast, 1t
is said, continues. Another message
says that Madriz has issued an order
creating a tribunal to investigate the
alleged frauds of the Zelaya admins
tration.
Commenting today upon the fact that
Admiral Kimball had visited MadriZ at
Managua in full uniform and accom-
panied by an aide, Assistant Secretary
Wilson said the visit was entirely with
out the knowledge of the state depart
ment and could not have any signifi-
canoe.
Stories that this visit might be re-
garded as a preliminary step to the
recognition of Madriz as president of
Nicaragua are declared to be ground
less.

CREEL CONFERS WITH
TAFT TO PROVIDE FOR
PEACE IN NICARAGUA

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-Governor
Creel of Chihuahua, Mexico, who came
to washington some weeks ago as the
personal representative of President
Diaz of Mexico, today had a confer
ence with Secretary Knox.
Governor Creers mission here was in
the interest of peace in Nicaragua.
No statement has ever been made
either by Governor Creel or by the Of
ficials of the state department as TO
the particular suggestions made by
President Diaz to accomplish this end
However, there is reason to believe
the United States has not changed its
police in any particular with reference
to the Zelaya faction.
Governor Creel said he called on
Secretary Knox merely to say goodby,
as he expected to leave for New York
within the next day or two and then
would proceed to Mexico city.
Up to noon today the state depart
ment had received no kilograms from
Nicaragua. 1t is assumed, however,
that General Estrada is making rapid
preparations for the movement or ms
army on Managua
That he will have determined oppo-
sition is probable, in view of the fact
that Madriz Is reported to be organ
izing an army to meet his advance.
Governor Creel later calledsat the
White House to say goodby to Presi-
dent Taft He declared on leaving
that his mission to the United States
had been successful.
Regarding Zelaya, Mr.. Creel said
that the ex-president of Nicaragua
probably would not spend more than
two or three days in the City of Mex
leo, but would go on to Brussels,
where several members of his family
already had gone.
MIR. Creel left the inference that
Zelaya would remain indefinitely in
Europe and thus be removed from the
zone of Central American activities.

(ContInued from Page OneI
Central American states could be
brought about.
"The immediate result in Central
America" said Zelaya, is difficult to
prophesy. The struggle between the
present government and the forces of
Estrada probably will reach a climax
in a short time, but so many factors
enter into the result that 1t would be
a very wise man indeed who could
discount the future. Estrada Cabrera
is the evil genius of our people-for
we are all Central Americans at heart,
without sectional lines.
Cabrera has poisoned the minds at
Washington. He has furnished money,
supplies and men to the insurgents in
the recent fighting. He will do the
same against the actual government
of Honduras, but he will never be ac-
cepted by our people, and his machin-
ations must be exposed in time so he
will be known for what he is"
The former president reached here
shortly after o'clock this morning
and was met by a delegation of Cen
tral Americans. AS he stepped from
Pullman several persons in the
crowd shouted viva Zelaya, Viva
Mexico!" A Mexican timidly cried,
hissed.
Zelaya was met fifty miles from the
capital by Francisco Castro, Nicara-
guam minister to Mexico, and close
friend of the dictator From the rail-
way station he was conveyed in a
coach to the palace.
To Call on Diaz
As yet no arrangements have been
made for Zelaya to meet President
Diaz in conference, although it is be-
lieved he will call on the chief eXecu-
tive of Mexico in the next few days
to thank him for his kindness in per-
mitting him to come to Mexico on the
Guerrero.
Zelaya said he would make no at
tempt to regain power in his country,
but might return If he were asked to
by his government when peace is re-
stored. He says he now desires to re-
main permanently out of politics and
live the rest of his days in peace and
quiet.
That he is the titular president of
Nicaragua to this day Is the declara-
tion he repeated tonight at his hotel
He asserts he has two more years TO
serve, but will not be actively at the
head of his government.
He says he did not come to Mexico
in any official capacity, but as pri-
vate citizen, and he is being received
as such.
That Zelaya is at liberty to return
to Nicaragua when he pleases was the
information given out at the foreign
office today.
Subsecretary of Foreign Affairs
Gamboa declared it was only tacitly
agreed that Zelaya was to remain out
of Nicaragua, but that as far as Mex
leo was concerned no attempt would
be made to control his movements
Mr.. Gamboa said. however, 1t could
not be imagined that Zelaya would
wish to return to Nicaragua at least
for an indefinite time.

ALASKA GAME WARDEN ON
TRAIL OF BROWN BEAR
Says Closed Season Is Ignored Be-
cause Beast Is Menace to Lives
of the inhabitants

SEATTLE, Dec. 29.-Joseph King,
United States game warden for Alaska,
who has just returned from the north,
says the law for the protection of wild
animals is obeyed generally except that
the provision which provides closed
season for the great brown bear is ut
terly ignored, and for good reason.
In the summer months white men are
afraid to turn out their horses and
never venture forth without repeating
rifles. Mr. King says:
In every native village in the
Alaskan peninsula the aborigines show
scars which have resulted from conflicts
with the brown bears that roam in
large numbers through that section of
the north, and many of them have
sacrificed their lives in battles with
these animals"
