KNOX HAS WAY
10 FIX HONDURAS
State Department Believes Trouble I'm
Central America Can be
Ended.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Secretary of
State Knox has found a new way to
lay the everlasting ghost of trouble
in Central America, which has
haunted the state department. The
proposition is to have American bank
ers refund the debt of Honduras.
At present the bonds of the coun-
try are selling about 95 per cent be-
low par and bonds would be cheap as
wall paper if they were not too small
TO paste on conveniently.
Most of the bonds are held by
English investors and Great Britain
has heen prevented only by regard
for the Monroe Doctrine from jump
ing in and making Honduras pay.
1t is believed it would be a good
thing for American bankers If the
American government, through the
state department. should stand back
of them and see that Honduras keeps
up her payments. That happens to
be what Secretary Knox is looking
fora good and valid excuse for
jumping into Honduras and making
it walk the straight and narrow path
of free and enlightened government.
By gettig at Honduras he can get
at the other republics and make their
direputable presidents toe the line
also. Honduras happens to be the
backyard of Central America in
which Cabrera of Guatemala and Ia
laya of Nicaragua are always having
their frictions.

With the arrival of two witnesses
yesterday the naval inquiry into the
death of Lieut.. sutton will be resumed
and the court is expected to finish
its work within short time.
The present court of inquiry has
shown at least that the midnight fight
ending in Suttons death was sur
rounded by peculiar circumstances.
That the officials of the marine
corps made no effort to probe into the
case.
That the hurried inquest held the
next day over the dead officers body
made no such effort.
That the navy department is doing
its best to make it appear that there
was nothing suspicious about the af-
fair.
Also to "whitewash" the officials of
the school and the court of inquiry
that concluded sutton had killed him
self.
Beyond these facts, no conclusion
whatever can be reached from the
testimony except that the truth is be-
ing withheld by someone. No court
or jury in civil life in the world
would be able to reach any conclusion
from the garbled and conflicting tes-
timony given by the young officers
who were concerned in the Orawl that
night. 1t only grows more and more
strange every day that the first board
of inquest could have possibly reached
a verdict of suicide.
But through the maze of conflicting
statements some things stand out. II
is evident that sutton rode to the
grounds that night with Lieuts. Robt.
E. Adams, Edward A. Osterman and
Harold H. Utley. The automobile was
stopped and there was a fight. State

Delanco. N. j., Aug. A tree
lookup is the device by which Special
Officer Hahner, the towns single DO
liceman, has succeeded in Kidding this
neigh5orhood of the tramp5 who for
merly infested IL.
Unable to hold his tramp prisoners
longer than few hours because OF
ruling of the county auditor which
forestalled the commitment of tramps.
Hahner struck upon a new scheme.
He ordered an extra supply of hand
cuffs, and some of the tramps caught
in the next raid were chained to trees
in the village.
The experiment was success. with
no shelter and tormented By swarm
ing mosquitoes from the nearby
swamps, the culprits were glad 20
quit the town when brought before
the constable and given their liberty.

JEROME ALLEGES
IHAW IS NCURABlE
Reads Authorities and Examines
Experts to Show That Asy-
lum Is the Proper
Place for the
Slayer.

White Plains, n. Y, Aug. A.
Thaw's attorneys are preparing now
to provesthat Thaw's alleged delusions
regarding the treatment of young
girls sby Stanford White were well
fouuded, They prepared the way for
this when they had Thaw identify an
affidavit made by Ada G. Dickhart
and it is supposed that Morschauzer
win build the remainder of his case
around this affidavit.
DIR. Austin Flint, who yesterday de-
clared Thaw is q paranoiac and in
durable, was the first witness today.
MOrschauzer amused the spectators
when he attacked the reputation #
the witness by producing can of
baking powder bearing Flnt's en-
dorsement. He said the baking pow
der contained alum. Jerome enabled
Flint to explain that he did not au
thorize the endorsement and threa.-
ened legal action If ii was used.
Did you testify before the sanity
commission that Thaw in the progress
of exaggerated ego had reached the
stage of GRANDEUR" asked MorschauZ-
er.
II probably did" answered Flint.
Jerome then calle,f the last state
expert, DIR. Carlos II. Mcdonald, pres
ident of the state lunacy commission.
Jerome read passages from authorities
regarding paranoia, applicable t1
Thaw, and Mcdonald agreed. He en-
deavored to make clear by illustra-
tions the danger of liberating a para
noiac and said that Thaw is suffering
from paranoia of a degenerate type
and Is incurable. By degenerate type
he said he meant person who never
attained the normal type.
He characterized Thaw's manner
on the stand in the present hearing
as frivolous" showing no apprecia-
tion of the importance of the hearing.

VACATIONS ARE

New York, Aug 4.-Wives ought

This conclusion is reached from
interviews with leading New York
