PEACE ENVOY
DROWNED ON way
Nicarasuan Conference Could Not Be
Held Because Diaz Died Before
Reaching Scene Of
Meeting.
MADR1z is CAST DOWN
A Spirit is Said to Have Occurred In
The Ranks of the Revolution
lists Which Means More
Delay.

MANAGUA, Jan, 1o.-President
Madr1z is greatly cast down by the
death of Gen. Fornos Diaz, who was
drowned while on his way to Managua
to discuss a peace settlement with the
president. General Diaz was per-
sonal friend of Madriz, and it would
have been possible for the president
and the representative of the provi-
s1onal government to go over the
whole situation with some expecta-
tion of an amiable agreement.
President Madriz is hopeful of the
early appointment Of delegate to
take the place of General Diaz, but
he fears that the new peace envoy
will represent only the liberal element
of the revolutionists.
Word has come to him that the
conservatives, led by General Cha
MORO, mean to continue fighting, and
he has been warned that Chamorro
and his army are advancing through
the department of Chontales, toward
Managua. The government, however.
is ready to oppose the advance at La
Mang.
According to the advices received
here, split has occurred in the ranks
of the revolutionists, and it is believed
that one faction will reject all over
lures of peace. President Madriz has
ordered court proceedings to be insti-
stuted for the purpose OF panishing
whoever was responsible for the exc
cution of the two Americans -Groce
and Cannon.
As ex-President Zelaya does not ap-
pear officially in the records Of the
court-martial the responsibility can
not be fixed on him Some official will
be found guilty, probably Solomon
Selva, the prosecuting attorney who
officiated at the trial He may, how
ever, produce instructions from Ze-
laya, in which case congress may or
der the trial Of zelaya.

above four, and who was declared by
the prosecution to have been the head
and front of the conspiracy, through
his position as dock superintendent.
will be sentenced on February 1.
He is now in the hospital recovering
from surgical operation performed
yesterday.
In imposing sentence, Judge Martin
scored the prisoners for failing to
take advantage of his hint, but II they
made clear breast of the matter, he
would have been lenient with them.
He stated that if they had confessed,
he would have suspended sentence
but in view OF the fact that they had
challenged the truth by sticking to
their original story, although the evi.
dence conclusively proved their guilt,
there was nothing for him to do but
to impose the sentence.
1t is expected the case will be ap.
pealed.

men, former Senator Lexow, their
consul. bitterly assails Special Prose
cutor w. l.. Simpson. He told the
court that since the men were con-
victed, Simpson has been giving out
interviews and doing everything
possible to intimidate them.
Lexow insisted that the court
should take under consideration
the recommendations of the
jury for mercy. He insisted that he
had talked with numbers of the jury
! and that they expected when they
recommended mercy in returning their
verdict that the court would suspend
sentence

CHAMP CLARK
SOUNDS KEY NOTE
Says the Whole Gang of Republicans
Should be In Prison For
False Pretences.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 10.-The key
note OF the campaign which Missouri
Democrats expect to swing the show
me" state back into the column head
ed by the Rooster, was sounded Sat
urday night by Congressman Champ
Clark, minority leader of the house of
representatives at the Jackson Day
banquet given at the Baltimore Hotel.
Closer unity of all factions of the
Democratic party in Missouri was
urged by him as the first step towards
the desired result If Missouri will
lead the way. he declared, the De-
mocrats can elect President in 1912
and bring about real revision of
tariff. He said in part:
This meeting is the first gun Of
the coming campaign. The Republi-
cans won their campaign under false
pretenses. If there was law to
prosecute office holders for obtaining
Offices under false pretenses the whole
gang would be behind prison bars to-
night.
The Republican platform said moth
ing definite about revising tariff either
way. but the president in his speech
es said the platform meant revision
downward The issue in the next
CAMPAIGN will be-Are politicians un-
der any obligations to tell the truth?

ON THE
way TO EUROPE
Former Chief Forester to
Meet Roosevelt.
NEWS CAUSES CONNECTION

Departure Of Old Friend Of Ex-Presi-
dent Regarded as Of Great Signifi.
: canoe by Members Of Congress and
Others Interested in the Attitude to
Be Taken by Mr.. Roosevelt on His
Return.
Washington, March s23.-Gifford Pin
chot, the deposed forester, is on his
way to Europe to meet Theodore
Roosevelt. It has just become known
that Mr.. Pinchot left Washington last
Friday afternoon and sailed from New
York Saturday morning. His depart
ure is regarded as of great significance
by members of congress and other
government officials who have a per-
sonal interest in the attitude which it
is hoped will be taken by the former
president upon his return to the Unit
cd States.
1t was said by friend of the ex-
forester that Mr.. Pinchot went abroad
upon the receipt of a cablegram from
Colonel Roosevelt, asking Mr.. Pinchot
to meet him in Europe.
Aside from the newspaper CORE
spondents who were his personal
friends during his administration Colo
mel Roosevelt thus far has been in
formed of the political events in the
United States since his departure only
by means of occasional newspapers
and correspondence. He will now be
informed of existing conditions by one
of his most intimate friends.
Pinchot's departure for Europe was
made ostensibly for the purpose of
meeting a member of his family in
Copenhagen. When the news became
known, however, friend of the fam
lily admitted that before Mr.. Pinchot
had been in Europe many days he
would find it convenient to get into
touch with Colonel Roosevelt.
Carries Messages From Others.
While he is primarily interested in
the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation
and will acquaint the former presi-
dent with his side of the case it is be-
lieved that he also carries messages
from a number of men who we've
prominently identified with the Roose-
welt administration, among them be-
ing James r. Garfield, who was sue
ceeded as secretary Of the interior by,
Richard A. Ballinger.
Mr.. Pinchot's commission is believed
to be to point out to Colonel Roosevelt
that he cannot possibly continue his
policy of remaining silent on things
political after his return to the United
States
He will state with the utmost frank
ness that the Roosevelt policies are
not being carried out and that it is up
to Colonel Roosevelt to avoid at all
costs any expression of opinion which
would be construed as an endorsement
of the present administration and in
directly, however unintentionally, re-
fleet upon his old friends who have
been striving to carry out his policies.
Whether Mr.. Pinchot will be able to
turn the former president from his
determination to remain silent upon
his return is a matter of conjecture,
but it is stated that Mr.. Pinchot would
not have undertaken the trip had he
not felt reasonably confident that the
returning hunter was in a receptive
frame of mind. ia
