1t Is High Time
To Do Something.

Mexico City, Dec. 30-Dr Groesbeck
Walsh of Chicago, formerly acting United
States consul at Corinto, Nicaragua, and
now on leave of absence from his duties
in the United States hospital at Colon,
Panama, passed through here Thursday
and made the statement that Zelaya was
being looked upon as a martyr and a
hero by the people of Central America
Speaking of the situation in Nicaragua
and other Central American republics, Dr.
Walsh said that he knew it to be fact
that when Zelaya was in power he caused
consular reports to be intercepted, muz-
zled the press and in many instances
rubbed it into Americans in Nicaragua
He says that the papers OF Costa Rica
are bristling with paragraphs such as
Down with the Yankees" I'VE must
stand together, "Zelaya is martyr
He believes that under the Madrz
regime, particularly since what he termed
the black down of Mr.. Knox" condi
tions insofar as Americans are concerned
will be much the same if not worse than
in the past. He says that the American
consus in Central America have never
been backed up by the state department
when they made true reports of indigni-
ties heaped upon Americans there and
that Central Americans, knowing this,
take advantage of it.

Rochester. n. Y, Dec. So.-Ambassa-
dor james Bryce was the chief speaker
at the night session of the convention
of the Student Volunteer movement in
convention hall. Bishop Hartsell of the
Methodist church, whose field is Africa,
also spoke.
Ambassador Bryce characterized the
present time as a critical and also aus
picious one for Christianity There
had been such progress in recent years,
he said, that today nine-tenths of the
habitable earth was under the control
Of the so-cal!ed Christian powers.
Attention was called 10 the breaking
up of the old ideas and customs in
backward nations and the advance of
western civilization and with these
changes the necessity laid upon Chris
tan nations to "lmplant new and
better faith
Ambassador Byrce then spoke of the
harm done among un-Christian peoples
by members of the Christian nations
who disregard the teaching of their re-
ligion" and then described the present
age among English peoples as unpre.
cedented in its power to draw men to
the pursuit of wealth and enjoyment
The address closed with an exhorta-
ton TO live lives "in the true Gospel
spirit" whether at home or in foreign

ANOTHER VICTIM.
All Hung Murdered in His Room in
New York City.

New York, Dec. 30.--The renewal of
the Tong war in New Yorks China
town claimed another victim early this
morning. An Hung, a Chinese actor,
was shot and killed in the hallway of
his tenement house home just before
daybreak.
All Hung, who was a prominent
member of one Of the Chinese secret
organizations. was in his room when
he heard steps in the hallway outside
and then Voice demanding admission
All cautiously opened the door bare
inch or two and peeked out. There was
shot and then a scamper of feet
down the stairs. Abs neighbors, who
had heard the shot, ran up and found
the body. The bullet had struck him
in the forehead and penetrated the
brain.
The police, who have been expecting
continuation of the trouble in China
town which resulted in two deaths on
Monday night, We're on the spot within
i few minutes. They arrested several
of Abs neighbors as witnesses, but
We're unable to find any tangible clue
to the identity of the murderers. All
Hung came to New York from San
Francisco three years ago.

THE AERO CLUBS SANCTION
With Some Modification Will Be Given
Los Angeles Meet.

New York. Dec. 30.-President c. F.
Bishop Of the Aero Club of America
announced this afternoon that he
would sanction the aeroplane meet at
Los Angeles. commencing Jan. 10 with
some notifications of the program.
The notifications which President
Bishop will suggest will include the
elimination from the program of the
cross-country balloon flight and the
proposed contest of dirigible balloons
between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. According to present Informal
ton it is impossible for gas balloon
to cross the continent because of the
altitude of the Rocky Mountains. Mr.
Bishop contends that insofar as no
dirigible balloon attained anything like
success in the recent attempted flight
from New York to Albany. it would
not be reasonable to suppose that
dirigible could make three times the
distance. from Los Angeles to san
Francisco.
81 am quite certain that the meet
will be more than successful" said Mr..
Bishop, land the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca will do everything in its power to
make it such"
