WILL STRAIGHTEN OUT
NICARAGUA AFFAIRS
Estrada Communicates Plans for
Stable Government to
United States

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA definite
program for the establishment Of a
stable government in Nicaragua and
the financial rejuvenation of the coun-
try was set before the American gov
ernment today for it's approval in a
long cable dispatch from Provisional
President Estrada which Senior Saliva
tore Castrillo, Nicaraguan representa-
tive in washington, presented to AS
sistant Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson.
First of all, President Estrada wish
es to re-establish friendly relations
with the United States. He suggests
that the American government appoint
O. high commissioner to visit Nicaragua
with full powers to negotiate, IL nee
essary, a treaty covering all the claims
which the United States has against
Nicaragua. These include the claim for
indemnity for the execution Of the
Americans Groce and Cannon, and the
Emery claim. The Nicaraguan gov
ernment desires to settle them and in
order to raise the money hopes to nego
tiate a loan which would be guaran-
teed by the setting aside of one per
cent of the customs receipts.
In the matter of re-establishing the
government OF Nicaragua on firm
basis, the president stated, consti-
tutional convention would be called
to recognize him as provisional presi-
dent and fix date on which national
election should be held.

BELL SUPPORTS PROPOSAL
TO TAX STATE FOR FAIR
Points Out Reasons Why Expo
sition Is of Statewide
Importance

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-Ad-
dressing mass meetings in two sections
of the city tonight; Theodore A. Bell,
Democratic candidate for governor,
vigorously supported the proposal to
levy a special tax of $5,00O,000 upon the
state for the Panama-Pacific eXposi-
tion. In doing SO he explained his op-
position at the Democratic convention
last week to pledging the party to sup
port the measure by saying that it was
not political question. After point
ing out reasons why the exposition was
of statewide Importance, the speaker
said:
"The proposed exposition cannot be
treated as a local affair. 1t will be Of
vital concern and value to the entire
state. There is no section of Cali
fornia that viii not receive great profit
from it. Surely no man will claim that
the opening of the canal affects only
San Francisco; surely no man will
claim that the creation of markets here
at home and the establishment of need
ed industries is alone the concern of
San Francisco. They are Of more than
statewide concern for the entire Pa
cihc coast is deeply interested in
them"
Bell declared that he spoke Of his
own personal view, not Of a party
policy; but that he proposed to argue
in behalf of the amendment through
out his campaign.

trlbutlng importers Money

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-At the GUS
toms underveighing fraud trial before
United States Judge Martin today

ENGINEERS FIND NIGHT
SURVEYING SUCCESSFUL

PITTSBURG, Sept. 12.-Civil engi-
neers have added their company to an
already large number of night workers
here, and belive that their idea of sur
veylng at night may be a really new
thing. The engineering corps of the
Pittsburg Flood commission, which is
finding out just what work is neces-
sary to keep the three rivers from in
undating the lower city every spring,
have lately had success in making
their observations in the dead of
night.
The main advantage lies in the fact
that there is no street traffic to hinder
but 1t is also claimed that by the use
of an electric flashlight the numbers
on the measured poles are more easily
distinguished through the transit at
night than by day.

ROOSEVELT MEANT
IT. Says GRISCON
New York Committee President
Declares Fight viii Be
Made on Bosses
Associated pressl

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. IL
Theodore Roosevelt meant what he
said when he announced on his return
from his western trip that he was
going home "to fight the BOSSES.
"Mr. Roosevelt's name certainly Will
be presented to the Republican state
convention" said Lloyd G. Griscom,
president of the New York county Re-
publican committee, tonight after a
conference of several hours with Col.
Roosevelt.
Moreover" he added, 1--WE can count
on a majority of the delegates"
In conference with Mr.. Griscon and
Mr.. Roosevelt were Representative
Herbert Parsons, Representative Will
liam M. Calder of Brooklyn, Comp
troller William Prendergast OF New
York city, F. J. Fl. Kracke, naval OF
ficer of the port, and Postmaster Voor-
his of Brooklyn.
DISCUSSION OF CANDIDATES
Mr.. Griscom admitted the subject of
candidates for governor had been dis
cussed but no one name, he said, mad
been considered to the exclusion of
others, as before a choice could be
made the preference of state leaders
from every section must be learned.
The names of w. H. Hotchkiss, state
superintendent of insurance, and OF
Clark Williams, state comptroller,
which have been mentioned, had not
come up for consideration, he said.
Although he did not say so, 1t is
known that Mr.. Prendergast's name
was among those discussed.
The comptroller himself was asked
if he was a candidate, and laughlngly
replied that he was not.
"Could anything happen between now
and September 21 to change your
mind?" he was asked.
IT don't know" he answered guard
edly.
president Taft and Col. Roosevelt" "
said Mr.. Griscom, "are in perfect ac-
cord"
All that Mr.. Roosevelt would say
was: "These gentlemen came to dis
cuss the state situation. They report
satisfactory progress"
He was told of the Democratic VIC
tory in Maine, but had nothing to say.
Probably one of the bitterest Repub-
lican fights in Manhattan tomorrow
will be carried on in the Fifteenth dis
trict, where Assemblyman William M.
Bennett is a candidate not only for
reelection as district leader, but for
the congressional nomination to sue
ceed J. Van Vechlen Olcott. The dis
trict committee has indorsed the ticket
of the Olcott faction and Chairman
Griscom, replying to an inquiry today
from State Committeeman Harry w.
Mack, stated that because of the dis
trict committees Endorsement the Oh
colt ticket was 20 be recognized as

ARMY NEEDS MORE
OFFICERS, IS CRY
Transportation Department No
Better Than in Civil War,
Says Inspector
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-If crit
icism is calculated to benefit the
army then Uncle Sans soldiers
should profit much in the annual re-
port of Inspector General Darlington,
just made public.
The report mentions a whole bat
talon of artillery starting for the
Philippines without a single field Of
ficer and one of the batteries COM
manded by a second lieutenant of less
than two years service. The inspec-
tor general declares this absence Of
captains from their commands is "the
most fruitful source of professional
disease in the line of the army today"
In one department nearly third OF
the line officers were absent from
their commands, but under detail, and
altogether the situation, according to
the inspector general, warrants the
prediction of disastrous results. The
obvious remedy, he says, is the pro-
vision for sufficient number of su-
perior officers to replace those on de-
tail.
ARMY VNPREPARED
Inspector General Bell says tho
army is wholly unprepared for field
service. He says the new regula-
tions are almost entirely theoretical
or dependent upon the experience of
European armies. Our transporta-
ton, he says, is the same as at Lne
beginning of the civil war, for our
army has so far failed to make use
of automobiles, traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field.
The weakness could be remedied If the
present maneuvers could be replaced
at least once by a march of COM
plete army corps. Few of our officers
have ever marched with more than o
regiment Major General Bell says:
"While our infantry is composed of
the best material in the world, and
probably is as WELL If not better,
trained in the use of the rifle than
that OF any other army, it's marching
capacity is below mediocrity, and yet
it is admitted today that the fate of
the battles of the future depends, as
it has in the past, upon marching ca
pacity of the infantry"
To remedy these conditions. Major
General Wood, chief of staff, today Is
sued orders which will change mate
rally the training of the army All
inspectors general will be required to
submit the troops to an annual in
spection in the field, in addition to
the present method, which is described
in some quarters as being little less
than an inquiry into the accounts and
garrison work of the troops. The new
inspection will be designed to show
the efficiency of the troops In the the
oretical work taught army officers at
the various. schools provided In the
drill regulations.
