The funeral of Senator McLaurin Of
Mississippi will not be OF an ofnciai
nature. nor wifi committees of the Sen.
ate and House attend the obsequies.
This will be in accordance with the
wishes of the McI.aurin family.

ZeIaya in a Manifesto
Protests to the World

MANAGUA. Nicaragua. December a.
Ex-President Zelaya has issued . mani
festo declaring that his surrender Of the
presidency was caused by . desire to save
Nicaragua the humiliation Of outrages
threatened by . powerful fereiGn nation.
which was now inaugurating a decisive
innuence over the destiny Of Nicaragua.
Because Of his resistance against the i'm
position of tutelage. which was the fore
runner Of the conversion Of the Latin
nations Of this continent into dependencies
Of the United States, he had incurred tho
hatred Of that government. and when the
defeat Of the rev0lutfonists appeared GER
tain the United States government mex
plicahly severed relations with Nicaragua
through Secretary Knox's letter to the
world against the meddling Of the United
States and the threat to land marines.
Zelaya in his manifesto takes up vari-
Gus clauses Of the Knox letter In an at
tempt to refute certain charges with
copies OF letters he had received from
John Gardner Coolidge, the former Ameri-
can minister at Managua, thanking him
for his courteous treatment in the matter
of the claims Of Guatemala and Salvador.
The former president declares that the
Americans, Cannon and Groce, were exc
cuted according to law. This pretext for
Intervention, he asserts. Is similar to that
employed when the United States first in
tervened in Cuba, for there was no proof
that the Maine was blown up by Span
iards; yet this was taken as q cause for
action. Nor Is there any proof that Cam
non and 0roce were put to death un.
lawfully.

LOCAL MEN CONSIDERED.
President Thinking Over Names for
Commissionerships.

The President is giving earnest consid-
GRAFTON to the question OF the commits
sionerships. Each day he Is discussing
the matter with one or more officials or
citizens. and II is generally expected that
a decision as TO the successors OF Mr..
mcfarland and Mr.. West will be reached
shortly.
Present indications suggest that the
President Is giving more consideration 20
the names of purely local men than az
any time heretofore. and that the candi-
dates with outside state applications no
longer have the inside track I'm the race
The advocates Of the appointment Of To-
cal men to the commissionerships are
much encouraged by the latest indica-
tons.
The names most prominently mentioned
at present are Arthur C. Moses, w. v.
Cox. Cuno Rudolph and OF the outside
man. J. ]. Hemphill.

CONDITION OF BRAVE
NURSE SOMEWHAT BETTER
Physicians Feel Hopeful Of the Re-
covery Of Miss Brown, Shot by a
Delirious Patient.

The condition Of Miss Mary r. Brown,
trained nurse who was shot by Martin
F. Sterling. a delirious typhoid patient,
Monday night. Is somewhat improved to-
day. It was stated at the Emergency
Hospital this morning that she was much
stronger than she was yesterday and both
patient and physicians feel hopeful Of the
outcome.
Miss Brown is not out Of danger, the
physicians say. but her condition is such
as to encourage them and they feel tina.
she has chance to recover Many
friends Of the popular nurse have called
at the hospital to ask about her condition.
but none OF them has been permitted to
see her.
Mr.. Sterling, who is still under the
care Of DR.. J. r. Biggs at the George
Washington University Hospital, is also
doing well. His condition was such
this morning that his physician was
able to hold out hope for his recovery.
1t has been suggested that Miss
Brown, who made so brave a struggle
with her delirious patient and prob
ably prevented homicide, should be
rewarded for bravery. It Is likely that
some friends will put in q claim for a
Carnegie hero medal for her.

Nansen Never Trusted Cook
and Says He Is a Dead Man

CHRISTIANIA. December 2S.-Fridtjof
Nansen. the Norwegian arctic explorer,
has broken his long silence and talked Of
tho Peary-Cook controversy.
1t Is my opinion" he said. that Cook
Is no longer interesting. He Is practical
~ dead man and ought to vanish from
the confederation OF the world.
Il never trusted him. for the first re-
port which he made did not inspire conf
dence. especially his statements concern
ing the distance Of fourteen seconds from
the pole. This proved that Cook was
ignorant Of the simplest principles Of as
Economical observation. Even his later
reports contained nothing of value; on the
contrary. they were filled with improb-
abilities and contradictions.
From the first was unable to support
Dr. Cook. l therefore preferred to keep
silent: AS for Peary. I never doubted his
veracity, although I should not approve
OF his behavior after his return However,
It Is easy to understand his Indignation
At least he is a man. and there is no COM
parison between him and Cook

SOMETHING IN A NAME.
Bill to Protect Business Concerns
From Imitators.

To keep irresponsible concerns from
using names very much similar to the
titles Of perfectly legitimate corporations
and firms. Commissioner West today
drafted a bill which would make it an
expensive misdemeanor to do business
under a name that might mislead people.
There has been SO much complaint
throughout the United States from corp0-
rations and business houses which have
seen other establishments spring up with
q thoroughly respectable name twisted
into very good imitation Of its former
self, that the American Bankers Asso-
citation sent out formal protests recent
ly. The bill of Commissioner West was
suggested first by a committee Of trust
company officers OF this city. who pro-
tested against the use of the word trust
by uninc0rpOrated associations, corpora
tons with little or no capital ana various
other business ventures. ri.
II the bill becomes q law, no business
will be allowed to trade under q name
SO similar to the name OF some other
firm in the same line Of business that It
could be mistaken for the original arm
or business house.
The penalty is fixed at a fine OF $50 for
each day that the offending sign hangs
upon the door.

the statement made by the persons con-

University OF Copenhagen eventually will
Withdraw the honorary degree conferred
on COOK. though some Of the professors
laboriously explain that this degree was
given to him not as the ''discoverer Of the
north pole" but as an arctic explorer
Prof. Salomonson says for publication
that the consistory of the university will
give DR.. Cook another chance to establish
his good faith.
The number OF those who still maintain
that Cook honestly believed he reached
the pole is dwindling rapidly and soon
there will! be none, unless DR.. Cook
quickly gives some sign of life. His
whereabouts still are unknown.

ELECTION NOT LEGAL.
Madriz Not President, According to
Estrada Supporter.

Adolfo Was one of Gen. Estrad4's
supporters. who is in this city with the
special purpose of helping the cause OF
the revolutionary forces in Nicaragua.
made the following statement concerning
rhe election of DE- MadFiz as president by
the congress of Zelaya:
ITO prove to the American public the
iIlegality of that election, will quote
here the opinion on the matter Of one OF
our foremost lawyers in Nicaragua, Mr.
Modesto SeqNeira, how staying In New
Orleans. Mr.. Sequeira said From the
moment that the Nicaraguan congress &C
cepted the resignation OF President Ze-
laya there has been a vacancy in the
presidency
&" Neither Dr. Madriz nor any one but
one of the three desianadoS can lawfully
occupy the ONCE, in conformity OF section
IS of the Nicaraguan constitution. and
the possession of the Office shall be given
by the assembly. actually in session, &C
oording to section q. These sections
read: "Section 10 In case of absolute
or temporary vacancy of the presidency
of the republic the executive power shall
be intrusted to one of the deSignados'
chosen by lot by the council or ministers,
out Of the three appointed by the assem-
bly,. ...,
dency Is filled by the person called by the
law. the executive power shall be Vesteo
give possession thereof to the correspond
ing designado when the assembly IL not
in session.
Paragraph II or section u, which
cnumerates the powers vested In the as
sembly, reads: ITO appoint every two
years three of its members to replace the
president of the republic when an aoso-
lutte or temporary vacancy occurs.
Section IS reads When the president
of the republic has TO deposit the power
he shall turn il over to any OF the dep
uties of the legislative assembly. If the
assembly 10 in session it shah designate
the one to whom the power shall be In
trusted"
The opinion published in one Of the
New Orleans papers In the form OF q
Washington dispatch. that section 76 Is
to be applied only in case OF a vacancy
and not by depositing Of power by resiS-
nation. Is absolutely incorrect. since
resignation and deposit are not one and
the same thing.
The acceptance of the resignation puts
an end to the position resigned. and the
position again excepting by new appoint
ment or by election.
The deposit does not put an end to
the position, and the officer filing 1t can
claim it again without need Of new APP
pointment or election"
Mr.. vivas adds: DIR. Madriz knows this
perfectly well. because he Is q lawyer
: himself. and we may say that Zelaya
leaves an absolutely vacant job This can
not be Strengthened at present, but by
the complete victory Of Gen. Estrada's
movement. The battle of Rama is the
beginning of this accomplishment. Neither
Madriz nor Zelaya. nor any one OF his
supporters will be able to make strong
standing against the triumphant army of
the Nicaraguan iberator."
