ing about events in Nicaragua after
having waited ten days for a reply to
numerous messages sent by him to
Managua.
General Toledo is besieged at Grey
town, which is surrounded on land
and sea by the insurgents.
General Vasquez, commander of the
government forces at the last battle
near Rama, was court martialed be-
cause of defeats suffered by the gov
ernment troops.
This battle is said to have been a
desperate one. A government column,
which entered the fight with $50 SOL
diers, left all but four of them dead
on the field
One of the arrivals here who is not
a native of Nicaragua states that the
government officials in Nicaragua pub
licly assert that Mexico will support
Nicaragua in any controversy in which
it may become involved with the
United States. No foreign newspapers
are allowed to enter Nicaragua at
points in control of the government
All passengers on landing there are
searched and not allowed to bring in
arms or anything which the officials
believe might be used to help the in
surgents.

perate for every one, including Ze-

CHICAGO, Dec. S-"Improvemento of
the highways to keep pace with deep
waterway development" will be the
slogan of the national good roads con-
vention next Tuesday and Wednesday

gress and by state legislatures in ac-
cordance with the declaration of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties in the last national platforms.
"T anticipate that we shall make a
showing of strength at the Topeka
convention which will go a long way
toward convincing the states and the
nation of the Importance of our move
ment," said Mr.. Jackson. "Kansas
and it's surrounding states are partic-
ularly interested in the gathering, and
delegates will be present from AL parts

WAsH1NGrON, Dec. S.-The Mic
w araguan legation here is no
more. Big vans nave carried oil
the furniture and other appurtenances
of the house in 0 street where Pres
ldent Zelaya's representatives once
were domiciled.
A "for rent" sign ornaments the
front lawn and drawn curtains and
an air of desolation greet the caller,
while no servitor hastens to answer
a ring at the bell.
In addition, it is the gossip in Cen
tral American circles that the Zelayan
government has not sent the monthly
checks to its legation, an oversight
that is said to be sorely felt by the
legation force.
Senior Rodriguez. special emissary Of
Zelaya, through whom Secretary
Knox's sharp note was conveyed to
the Nicaraguan government, is still in
Washington.
1t was said by a former attache OF
the legation that the furniture mad
been stored until the present situation
cleared and that it was the property
of the government.
1t was Indignantly denied that the
legation had been driven from its
quarters because of the failure of the
Nicaraguan government to meet the
monthly rent bills.
Word was received tonight in Cen
trail American circles that reports of g
Zelayan victory over the insurgent
army near Rama were without the
slightest foundation in fact.
1t was declared there had been no
fighting in the last few days.
'It is the lull before the storm, SAID
a Central American diplomat. In
few days we will hear of battle, anu
it will be a decisive one, provided the
ESTRADA forces are victorious. If they
are not they will fall back again"

T FEEL that as a candidate
in the late election | should
express my sincere appre-
citation of the work that has
been done for the good of the
city of Los Angeles by The
Herald, the Express, Meyer
Lissner and Marshall Stimson
in bringing about, by their
joint labors and efforts, the
splendid victory that we
achieved at the polls on Tues
day. There are many other
gentlemen who have contribut-
ed largely to the success OF
the campaign, but Mr.. Lissner
is particularly deserving of the
thanks of the whole city of Los
Angeles for his devotion to its
interests and the time and
labor he has unselfshly given
to the conduct of the cam
paign.
Last Tuesday was a great
day for the city of Los Angeles.
The good people, true to their
better instincts, rose uF. in
their might and overcame the
corrupt political machine that
has dominated the politics and
administration of this city for
years. The work was done by
men who were striving for the
good of the city, with no COM
pensation except that of salts

Sets High Standard, Says Judge WOrkS

hcation to me that the people
seem to appreciate more than
ever before the duty and neces-
sity OF giving their own time
and attention to the campaign,
resulting in the large vote that
was polled. | have never seen
a time in the history of the city
when the Southern Pacific ma
chine, with all its allied inter
ests, fought so desperately for
success as on Tuesday. But
with the new primary election
law in force the people were
able to dictate their own nomi-
nees and to strip the election
largely of any partisan charac-
ter, and thereby put the ma
chine at a disadvantage and
enable the people to overcome
the enemy. The city of Los
Angeles has by this election
set a high standard in the adj
ministration of its affairs and
the kind of men selected to fill
the offices, and from this time
on we may look for better
things in the government OF
the city's affairs. The next
duty that rests upon the peo-
pie is the application of the
same remedy to the affairs of
Los Angeles county and the
cleaning out of the court house
as they have done in the case
of the city hall.

Big Business
tAssociattd d Pressl

G. AN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.--Inhu-
~ enced by the rapid growth of
~ western business in the last few
years, the Pullman company has de-
termined to construct in the vicinity
of San Francisco a repair plant em-
ploying 800 men and capable Of taking
care of its entire western equipment,
according to a statement made tonight
by Richmond Dean, general manager
of the company.
Mr.. Dean is here i'm company with
S. s. Hungerford, general superinten-
dent of the big car works at Pullman,
ILL.,, and Edward Sollas of Chicago, a
large stockholder in the company.
They are inspecting several proposed
sites for the shops in a preliminary
way.
1--WE have thought it best to con-
slider the repair of our western equip
ment by our own plant" said Mr..
Dean, "because of the great growth
of our western business of late. We
have not decided upon any site for the
plant, but are looking about for some
thing that will prove TO our taste.
To Employ 800 Men
"The shops when constructed will
employ 500 men and will be able to
care for all our western equipment"
Mr.. Dean would not make any esti-
mate of the cost of the proposed plant
and intmated that the plans for the
shops had not been perfected in detail,
that depending upon the site.
1t is believed here that the action
of the Pullman company was induced
by the carrying through of the Pa
mama canal project by the govern
ment.
1t is argued that the completion OF
the canal will admit of shipping manu-
featuring materials in bulk at a. low
cost and that the company will be in a
position not only to repair, but to con
west.
There are many sites available along
both sides of the bay and three trans
railroads reach the bay
waters.
