Cooper Jury Hears
 A Mighty Argument

When the laughter began this morning he cleared the steps again and ordered the deputies to keep them cleared.
 General Washington once moro reached the shooting and called a mes senger boy. to help him. re- e-enact the tragedy. This was the third time the speaker has described the tragedy Spectators Laugh. '
 You are Carmack," he exclaimed. Washington seized the automatic re. yolyer. crouched down. with gleamins ns eyes, and bristling mustache. The boy frightened, began to back away as Washington stealthily advanced. The crowd laughed and the judge did too.
 "A son who sees his fathers enemy revolver in hand, and does not kill thai enemy as he would a mad dog, Is not fit to be food for worms." the attor- ney declared.
 Something distracted Washington's attention and he wandered off into the testimony of witness who found an empty shell. The boy took advantage of the Aggression to escape and when the attorney turned around to shoot Carmack." "Carmack' was missing.
 And Carmack fell dead." he went on. T do not care for all the mon- strosities in surgery that are reported linen who have lived with bullets in brain and heart and spinal cord. dc not care for such neophytes as Dr Glasgow and others. I say Carmack was dead the moment that first bullet entered his heart.
 Now let's see where Robin Cooper was." another boy had come in and Washington grabbed him. You are Robin now" he said. "Carmack sees you. Bang! bang! Two shots. Why does he not shoot Robin again? Be cause Robin has shot him and he is dead. Anyway to get away from those wounds in Carmack? Shakespeare calls them these dumb mouths with ruby lips.' These wounds cannot be rub. bed out.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED FILED1 BY ONE CONGRESSMAN.
The Special Session Promises t, Keep Rank With Previous Sessio ms as Regards Number of
 New Measures.

Washington. March 12.-ThB deluge of bills introduced at the opening of each session of Congress D romises to be as great for the special session. which will begin next Morrday, as for the regular sessions, despite the pros pect that little Legislation other than the tariQ bill will receive consideration when 500 bills we're today presented to the clerk by one Representative alone.
 All of them were introduced at the last session and many have been re- introduced year after year. It.. is claimed that the number of bilis In troduced at session has increased over 50 per cent in the, past five years Members at the beginrling of each ses. sion are accustomed to reintroduce the unsuccessful bills which they have of. fered in the preceding session.
 Pension bills are ften introduced by a Representative yf,ar after year and in few instances the person for whose benefit such a measure was intended has been dead for several years.
 Although members, with few excep- tion, can rarely procure action by the Pension Committee on more than five bills during q stission, some of them introduce several, hundred such meas ures. The memt lers who have been in the House for a number of years. in- troduce fewer blhls than the new mem- bers. There wsfe 2s.44O bills lntro- duced in the Ho nse during the last ses- sion and over g 1000 in the Senate.

Gregory. the American charge at Managua, and ordering the legation placed in the hands of the Consul. who will have no diplomatic capacity. probably broke off diplomatic relations with that country.
 Affairs in Central America have been closely watched by the American and Mexican Governments. both of which have now come to an understanding that the time has arrived when drastic measures should be enforced to insure peace in the Central American Repub- lies. Ambassador Iabarre. of Mexico, spent some time at the State Depart ment today in conference with Assist ant Secretary Wilson and the determts nation was reached that If the Ameri- can war ships now in Nicaraguan wa ters and to be sent there are not suffi- cient to impress President Zelaya that the treaty of peace entered into be- tween the Central American Republics Is not lived up to, more radical tseps would be taken to accomplish that re- suit The impression was given that If need be- intervention would be re- sorted to. The governments of the United States and Mexico, it was stat ed. are in full accord as to the policy to be pursued towards Nicaragua. and are now anticipating Zelayas' further moves So far as could be ascertained, no official information has been re- ceived here of d reported naval en- gagement between gun boats of Nic- aragua ana Salvador. as bearing on affairs in Nicaragua. the following statement was obtained from ofiiciai sources.

Engagement is Conarrned.


 Mexico City. March 12.-A private dispatch received here today absolute-' ly confirms the reported naval engage ment between the ships of Nicaragus and Salvador
 Three Nicaraguan gunboats led by the Momotombo Tuesday Attacked the Salvadorean gunboat Presidente. The latter. by lucky shot, put the Mo- motombo out of action almost at the beginning of the engagement. Tha three Nicaraguans then withdrew. Later the Momotombo was repaired and went in pursuit of the Presidente.
 The gunboat Presidente left the port of Acajutla under sealed orders and proceede dto cruise along the Nicara- ragua. getting wind of this. ordered the Momotombo and two other ships to intercept the Salvadorean vessel and engage her in battle.
 The President was encountered off the harbor of Corinto. but succeeded in getting in action first and disabling the Momotombo. The latter was back to the port of corinto. The two vessels accompanying her also withdrew. Nasty repairs were made on the Mo- motombo. and within few hours she was ready to put to sea again. As she | is Q faster and better equipped ship than the Presidente, 1t is considered certain that she will overtake the Sal- vadorean gunboat.
 American Men in Fight. It is said here that @ second engage ment was fought either today or yes- terday. According to reports. the Momotombo carried among its crew American officers and gunners.
 Assistant Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs Federic Gamboa told the corre- spoudent of the Associated Press to- night that the Mexican State Depart ment had received no word gnom it's Niearaguan representative for the past week. It is thought the cable commu- nication between Mexico and Nicara- qua has been cut.
 Secretary Gamboa declared that up to tonight no instructions had been sent to Minister de la Barra at Wash ington relative to joint intervention in Central American affairs by Mexico and the United States. He admitted that the situation is grave.
 Unoffcially. it Is declared that pro- tectorate Is being considered and inc tervention similar to that which was in force in Cuba up to the present year Is a possibility.
 Secretary Gamboa was in conference with President Dieaz, at the Castle of Chnpultepec today, and Central Ameri- can affairs were discussed by them. What decision. If any. was reached. is not known, as nothing of the con- ference was made public other than the admission that Central American affairs were touched upon.
 In unofficial, but well-informed csr- cles, 1t is declared that General American affairs are on the eve of epoch making happenings.
