Washington. Dec. 7--whiie the im- precision seems to prevail among members of Congress that there should be a thorough investigation of the customs service as the result of the sugar frauds discovered at the Port of New York. there seems to be no disposition to take the matter out of the hands of the Treasury Depart ment and the Department of Justice.
 Although three resolutions bearing on this subject introduced in the House yesterday. were referred to the Committee on Rules. Representative Campbell, tKas.). who Is the author of one of the resolutions. called at the Department of Justice during the day to ascertain the attitude Of the De- partment towards his measure. There in conference with Attorney General Wickersham. he heard emphasized the desire expressed by the President in his message today to Congress. that the latter Should keep hands on" al present.
 Mir Campbell said afterwards that he told MT. wickesham that there was q mass of testimony to be had bearing upon frauds in the customs service which would be irrelevant in law suit. which would be pertinent for the country to know ana could be brought to light only by means of a Congressional inquiry.
 Mir. Campbell assured Mir. Wicker sham that there was no desire on the part of himself or other members to interfere with the work of the execu- tive departments.
 Mir Campbell said he intended to have a conference with the Committed on Rules in regard to his resolution in order to ascertain hts prospects for an inquiry.
 Probe the campaign contributions of the so-caiied sugar trust and show who gave and how much is in effect the direction in bill introduced to. It catis for an invesffgattpn ng join' Congressional coinn,ittee Of the sugai frauds that have caused an upheaval in tlle New York customs house.

MARTIAL LAW
 IN HONDURAS Davila Suspects an Armed Invasion. ELAYA MAY AID B0NILLA Washington Government Advised of
 Precautions. Advantage May Be Taken of Embsr- rassing situation In Nicaragua to
 stn Up More Strife
 in Sister Re-

Washington. Dec. 1.-The Govern. ment of Honduras. experimenting an armed invasion. has proclaimed mar tial law throughout the republic.
 This information reached the state Department today. but no indication was given as to the source from which the invasion was expected.
 It is believed that Manuel Boniila former President of Honduras. who was deposed by Daviia. through the help Of Zelaya.f may be taking advant- age of the situation In Nicaragua tc seek revenge.
 For some time 1t has been suspected among Central Americans that Davila was in sympathy, with Zelaya in nIs efforts to crush the revolution under Estrada, and 1t is thought that Bo- nilla's threatened invasion of Honduras at this time would serve the double purpose of preventing any aid being given Zelaya and at the same time render possible the overthrow of the Davila Government.
 Bonila at present Is said to be al Belize. British Honduras. and if he has any considerable following. 1t Is thought 1t is made up of Hondurans dissatisfied with the Davila Govern ment.
