New Rupture in Central
America May Necessi-
tate Intervention Of
This Country.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. II.
Following the withdrawal or
the ministers of Guatemala and
Salvador from Honduras ana
Nicaragua, 1t was learned today
from an authoritative source that
the United States government has
warned the Central American re-
publics that any overt act would
Immediately call down armed IN
PREVENTION from this country and
Mexico.
All diplomatic relations be-
tween the countries involved have
been broken of and, despite the
warning from Washington, the
situation is regarded as very SER
ious.
Ever since last July there has
been unrest in Central America.
At that time a revolution was
started in Honduras, and an
American named Lee Cannon was
accused of leading a filibustering
expedition into Honduras from
Salvador. He was captured and
only two weeks ago expelled from
Honduras, after spending many
months in prison. On evidence
obtained from Cannon, while I'M
der duress, Honduras preferred
charges against Salvador and
Guatemala before the peace tri-
bunal and demanded damages.
The court in December last, re-
pudiated the claim of Honduras,
and this provoked President Da-
villa on the opening of congress IN
January to make caustic remarks
about President Cabrera of Guate-
mala and Figuero of Salvador.
The Guatemalan minister de-
manded an instant apology and
the expunging of the offensive re-
marks from the various records,
which President Davila finally
consented to do. t~55a

tute new charter committee en-
powered to draft the new city

William Crehan, who was then
named to head the committee and
he is already busy. The 100 Pc
titions will be printed and will be
out for the signatures of the
voters in couple of days. II

and when they are secured the
council must call the election for
the committee of Is, which will
then begin work on the new char.
ter.
This move is expected to eff
tectually dispose of the lingering

has been trying to get through to
abolish civil service and put the
city in the hands Of the ward

AN UPPER BIRTH AS MUCH AS A
 IOWERI

An interesting case is soon to be decided by the Interstate Commerce commission as to whether the charge for upper and lower berths in sleeping cars should be equal. It has long been the contention of many that the in conveniences of the upper berth should be offset by a lesser charge than is made for the lower and more convenient berths. The case was talk en to the commission by George F.. Loftus of St. Paul, Minn., who com plained of the rates for "uppers" ex- acted by railroads operating between St Paul. Duluth. Chicago and points in the east. MT. Loftus in his com plaint averred that railroad which charged the same rates for upper berths as for lower berths was guilty of a discrimination within the mean ing of the rate law.
 The expectation is that the com mission will hold that there is no dis

BANKER WALSH'S HOPE
 WENT GLIMMERING
The U. S. Court of Appeals Affirms the Judgment of Lower Court.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The verdict of the trial court which found John R. Walsh guilty of misapplication of the funds of the Chicago National bank, was affirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals here today.
 The rise and fall of the fortunes of Walsh, who is now 72 years of age, form an interesting chapter in the history of Americans who have risen from obscurity to power.
 Three Walsh banks-the Chicago National, Equitable Trust and Home Savings-were closed by the comp troller nearly four years ago. Walsh owned these banks. the Chicago Daily Chronicle. all or nearly all of the stock of six railroad companies, three panies. one ferry company and one gas company.
 Walsh bought these when they were practically worthless. and then form ed companies to buy them from him self. taking in payment the stocks and bonds of the new corporations and in this way obtaining them for nothing.
 According to the prosecution. the stocks and bonds had face value of S30,000,0 When the crash came s16.0OO. 900 of s25,OOo.O00 deposits in the Walsh banks was represented by paper and the securities of the Walsh enterprises.
 Walsh must serve a sentence of five years unless the supreme court reverses the decision. He is out on bail of s50.000.
