May Appeal to Congress.

It is asserted that the visitors are plan
ming to present their case to members of
Congress, in the hope that the admins
tration's active opposition to Zelaya may
be suspended.
The Mexican government Is fully In
formed of the action of this govern
ment. 1t was given a copy of Secre-
tary Knox's note to the Nicaraguan
charge. copies OF which also were sent
to the representatives in Washington OF
the other Central American republics.
Inasmuch as Secretary Knox bases his
action principally upon violations of
the Central American peace treaty, II
was regarded that Mexico and the other
states. as part Of the conference,
should be notified. While 1T is officially
denied that armed Intervention or the
establishment of a protectorate in Mica
ragua Is contemplated. 1t is intimated
that the course taken by the United
States In the case OF Cuba will be re-
peated If necessary. An occupation of
Nicaragua would mean the use of the
Army as well as the Navy and Marine
Corps. Accordingly the army is con-
sidering the possible necessity of trans

POLICY HOLDERS TO GAIN
MORGAN CONTROL TO SAFE
GUARD THEIR INTERESTS.
Asks States Cooperation in Work
ing Out Plan-Blow at In.
dividual Ownership.

ALBANY. y. Y, December Al. Pier
pont Morgan's purpose in purchasing 4
majority control of the stock Of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society. as stated by
himself and his partner. George W. Per-
kins, was made public tonight in state
ment issued by State Superintendent OF
Insurance Hotchkiss.
Mr.. Morgan's idea is to make It impossi-
ole that this great interest should be used
to the detriment of the policy holders
and also to place the control OF the
Equitable stock OUTSIDE the present or
any future financial situation in New
York or in the country, SO as to end for
all time the dangers which Turk in an in
dividual holding.
Mr.. Morgan also is quoted as saying that
he desires the cooperation of the insur-
ance department In working out a plan
whereby the stock. which means the con-
troll Of the company, would be safeguard
ed in the interest of policy holders.
Supt Hotchkiss' statement follows:
Immediately on learning that Mr.. Nor
gan had acquired this stock / called upon
ment as TO his intentions. He replied
that in acquiring the stock he had but
single purpose, namely. to prevent its
being sold to different individuals and
thus make IL Impossible Inal, AT the eA-
piration of the present voting trusteeship.
this great interest could be used to the
detriment of the policy holders.
He stated further that he desired the
cooperation of the insurance department
in working out a plan whereby the stock
which means the control of the com
pany-Would be safeguarded in the in
terest of the policy holders. and that I
could assure Gov. Hughes that no steps
to that end would be taken by him save
with the concurrence OF the insurance
department.
Later in the day I had a talk with
George w. Perkins of j. P. Morgan &
Co.. who reiterated what Mr.. Morgan had
said, and stated that that gentleman de-
sired shortly to take UP with the insur
4nce department the matter OF so placing
the control Of the Equitable stock out
side the present any future financial
situation in New York or in the country
as would end for all time the dangers
which Turk in an individual holding, such
as that held by Mr.. Hyde prior to the
insurance investigation. or trustee hold
ing, such as that which has recently been
the fact.
I'm any such plan which j may approve
of the policy holders Of the Equitable
may rest assured that their interests will
be the sole consideration and will be
fully protected"

This declaration was made today by

i'll health, and there were intimations
that he might not be disposed to take
them up i'll the regular session.
The few democratic senators in town
were notified last night of the action OF
Senator Culberson. and gossip immedi-
ately started as to his successor. Senator
Bailey is in the city, but was indisposeo
last night to talk upon the subject of the
leadership for publication.
Privately. he told some of his friends
that if he consulted his personal inclina-
ton he could find no reason TO alter the
decision which he made when the minor
ity leadership was originally offered to
him. His friends in the Senate with
whom he talked last night were not ready
however, to accept as final that former
decision. and unquestionably strong pres
sure will be brought upon Senator Bailey
to induce him to take the place. In the
meantime Senator Bailey will probably
be restrained from making a downright
refusal to serve.
Senator Bailey's Position.
1t will be recalled that when the late
Senator German decided to retire from
the minority leadership he urged the
election of Senator Bailey. At that time
Senator Bailey gave out statement In
which he said he did not feel inclined TO
accept a place whose burdens and re-
SpOnSlOlltleS ne so thoroughly appreciated
as to be doubtful of his ability TO bear
and fulfill them.
Senator Blackburn was then elected MI
nOr1ty leader. He was rounding out a
long and conspicuous career in the SEN
ate and his colleagues were glad to be-
stow that honor upon him. Senator Bali
ley was found at his right hand always
in every party contest, and did yeoman
service in fighting the party battles.
Senator Culberson succeeded Senator
Blackburn when the latter retired from
the Senate, being placed in nomination
by Senator Bailey. who lauded the abili-
ties of his colleague and gave him his
hearty support, although at that time
the Bailey ard Culberson factions in
Texas were warming up to lively work.
Borne Brunt of Fight.
Senator Bailey throughout Senator Gull
berson's leadership has upheld his hand
and many. times has borne the brunt of
the fight in contests between the repub-
licans and democrats.
1t Is probably not stretching prophecy
unduly to predict that if Senator Bailey
will consent to serve he will be chosen
without dissenting voice by the demo-
cratic caucus. The cold fact is that while
Senator Culberson has been the ttuldr
leader Of the minority, Senator Bailey has
been the rough and tumble captain If the
democracy in most of the important bat
ties in the Senate, especially within the
last year.
Senators say that the minority leader
must possess oratorical ability and par
liamentary skill as prerequisites, and
these two qualities are conceded to Sen

UNION PRESIDENTS THREAT

CHICAGO, December 4.-There are
conflicting statements relative to the
| strike of the Switchmen's Union against
the railway companies, but the prepon-
derance of surface evidence seems to
support the contention Of the railway

at an end.
Late tonight the general managers

the strike issued a statement through
0. L. Dickson of the Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy railroad.

The statement is as follows:
The general managers committee has
just received Geographic notice from the
roads entering ST. Paul to discontinue
the employment of men, inasmuch as
so many of the switchmen are returning
to work that they are now supplied
with labor. Concerning this the follow
ing telegram was received from j. NJ.
Gruber, general manager of the Great

with the 800 additional switchmen
you now have i'll Chicago tonight, this
will give us more men than all roads
put together can possibly use on ac-
count of so many of the old sw1tchmen
returning to work today at most yards
from Seattle east. Conditions are prac-
tically normal.

"A meeting of the general managers
was held this morning to discuss the

fact that the strike seems practically

and the meeting was promptly adjourned

Senator Charles A. Culberson Of Texas
has resigned the leadership of the MI
nority Of the Senate on account of ILL
health. The democrats of the Senate
will hold caucus early in the week and
choose his successor.
The name of Senator Bailey of Texas
is most prominently mentioned in that
connection, although the senator has de-
clared his unwillingness to take the
place. Senator Money Of Mississippi, vice
chairman of the democratic caucus, it
is thought, would feel honored by beins
selected, as his term In the Senate is
drawing to close, but Senator Money s
health is not robust.
Announcement of Senator Culberson S
retirement from the leadership was con-
veyed in the following letter, written
to Senator Money, as vice chairman of
the caucus and made public by him last
night:

Hon. II. D.. Money.
Vice Chairman, Democratic Caucus.
Washington, d. C.
Dear Senator: AS you and all my
democratic associates know. l have not
been at all well for nearly year. Last
March 1 had a severe attack of the
grippe. Without taking the necessary
rest from such an attack, / remained in
Washington in attendance upon the Sen
ate throughout the recent extra session.
The result was that I continued i'll dur
ing all the session, and at it's close
was much reduced in strength and vital
ity. From this 1 have not recovered In
the comparatively short vacation which l
have been able to take.
1.-The approaching session of Congress
promises to be d long, eXacting ana ar
duous one, and, in my present condition,
l do not feel that l should undertake the
extra duties which will devolve upon the
chairman Of our caucus. 1t would prob
ably retard or prevent my early and
full restoration to health.
while / am deeply sensible of the high
honor done me by my colleagues in my
unanimous election to this craftsmanship
for the last two Congresses, especially
as it came wholly without my seeking
and while under different circumstances
/ would of course, fulfill as best might
the requirements of the position, yet for
the reasons stated | am compelled to ask
to be relieved of it's duties. Accordingly
at the first conference to be held by the
minority in the coming session l will
submit my resignation as chairman.
1T remains only for me to repeat that
the esteem and confidence and Partially
Of my party associates in the Senate are
even more keenly appreciated than l can
express, and that l will ever bear them
Ia grateful recollection.
(Signed) your friend.

Furthermore, the minority leader has
to be aggressive and resentful as we'll.
No thin-skinned man ever made sue

way of going roughshod sometimes, and
the minority leader must not be sensitive
to hobnails.
In the event that Senator Bailey per-
