The patience OF the government OF ths
United States and that OF Mexico with
the attitude OF President ZeIaya. OF Mica

the Niearaguan executive. who is rapidly
becoming the Castro" OF Central Amer

the two governments wiz take drastic
action.
Il Is safe to say that this action viii
not consist OF further peace conferences
or arbitrations. but VIII be some definite
forcible move which viii thoroughly
awaken Zelaya 10 his international obi
cations.

DAYS MURDERED
Former Suitor Suspected OF
Killing Young Woman
for Revenge

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Mrs. Ida Cooper,
a bride of four days. who, the police
say. they believe was murdered was
found dead in bed in her home today
with bullet wound in the head. Five
men, said to have been boarders at the
house. We're taken into custody, but
were not locked up. Mrs. Cooper was
said to have expressed fear OF some
man.
There were finger marks on her
throat, indicating struggle. but death
was due to bullet wound in the
head. The boarders who were arrested
were released when the police learned
that a former suitor had been seen
leaving the house shortly after the
sound of two shots had been heard by
two little girls who were playing in
the neighborhood.
Another story given the police was
that the former suitor had been given
a ticket to New York by. Cooper on
the day of his (Cooper's) wedding. but
that he apparently, had not used it
Mrs. Cooper's maiden name was Ida
Miller and her home is in Chicago.

tary. This continued for nearly two
months but 10 days ago complications
set in and he was forced to relinquish
all business and since that time has
failed gradually. His physicians for
several days have held out no hope for
his recovery and it was realized that
death might be expected almost hourly.

FEAR TARIFF WAR
Insist on Reduction OF Duties to
Minimum to Provide

PARIS. Feb. 2O.--French exporters
are greatly alarmed at the possibility
of tariff war with America.
A delegation. consisting of represent
atives of the French chamber of COM
merce and the manufacturers of gloves
lace, porcelain, perfumery, etc, called
today on Minister of Commerce Cruppi
and pointed out the disastrous effects
to them of the proposal to impose
ad valorum duties In America based
upon the prices there and not in the
country of origin.
Instead of an increase, they insisted
that the French general tariff must
be reduced to minimum rate in order
to permit greater elasticity in the tariff
negotiations which were bound to fol-
low revision here and In America
