NICARAGUA DUETS Down
AFTER LONG TURMOIL
New Government SEXES Prop
erty of Former Presidents
ZeIaya and lose Madriz.

Advices from Managua, Nicaragua, in
dictate the early restoration of the re-
publics political equilibrium after the
ten months Of revolution that saw the
deposing of two president and ended in
the triumph Of the Instruction, with
Gen. Juan J. Estrada in power until an
election can be held. But this righting
of the chaotic political situation is not
being accomplished without drastic and
vigorous treatment by the new regime.
The most important acts, perhaps, have
been the seizure by the new government
of the property belonging to former Pres
ident Zelaya and $4,000 in cash left be-
hind by former President Jose Madriz
when he was ousted from Office. Another
interesting development was the Danish
ment from the country Of Rudoifo Es-
pinosa, formerly Zelayas minister at
Washington. He is now in Honduras.
The value of the Zelaya property that
has been confiscated is placed at $500, 900.
1t is understood that 1t will be converted
into cash and part of the proceeds used
to indemnify the families of Groce and
Cannon. the Americans who were exc
cuted for participation in the insurrec-
ton. The $4,000 of Madriz's money that
the present government has seized was
left by him with some friends when he
precipitately departed from Nicaragua.
Madriz Leaves for Mexico.
DR.. Madriz is working his way slow
ly north. Minister McCreery, at Tegu-
cigalpa. Honduras. has cabled to the
State Department that Madriz left
Amapala, Honduras. yesterday. for
Mexico. by way Of La Union, Salvador.
The deposed president with many of
his compatriots arrived at Amapala
late in August 1t was then expected
that he would continue his flight to
Costa RIGA. where he had lived for
some time as president of the court OF
Justice of Central American republics.
The other members OF the party, in
Guiding q number of generals, left him
and went to northern cities. and now
Dr. Madriz follows their course. The
United States government is not in
terested particularly in the movements
Of Madriz or his adherents, except to
the extent OF keeping Informed and
watching for any manifestations of
any purpose to foment trouble.

URGES NEGROES TOAD
IN RACES BETTERMENT
CoIored SoCi0logist Tells Hear
ers They Should Join in
UpIift Movement.

1T seems to me it is the business of
the negro race to nan the widespread lie
that they are content in such a way that
will-quietly or noisily. privately or in
public. in speech or public conversation
lose no opportunity to let the people of the
United States and the people of the world
know that ten million human beings in
this country are not willing to be classed
less than men,
With such a statement DR.. W. T.. Burg
hardt Du Bots, negro sociologist, in an
address last night at the Metropolitan A.
NJ. Z. Church before the members of the
Bethel Literary and Historical Society,
urged local negroes to join in the movea
ment for the further uplifting of the race.
His subject was 1.-The Forward Move
ment''
1T is now time" he continued, latter
fifteen years of experiment that We should
step forward in three definite directions
First. We should seek to get a systematic
and definite knowledge of ourselves Sec
ond. we should seek to make systematic
and continued protest against injustice.
and third, we should in every direction in
crease our organized endeavor. 1t does
seem to me that this program is not one
Of frightfu or forbidding radicalism, nor
does 1t exclude anything for which an
honest opportunist rightly strives.
Have National Association.
To-day We have for this purpose in
New York a National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. And this
association differentiates itself from
other organizations in this one unusual
respect. that is. it is organized in con-
junction with those who are working in
similar ways along other lines of social
uplift We comprise among us social
workers and reformers interested in
nearly every line of social uplift. Hither-
to. the negro in the United States has
had little interest in the work of these
people. Strange to say, he has rather
sided with the great capitalists and
philanthropists. and is even found speak
ing against social reform, against races
like the Jews and against all people who
are fighting for cause. The time for
this foolishness has passed. These are the
people who are revolutioniZing the world.
We must recognize that the cause of the
negro is one with every cause of world
uplift. and one which employs the same
methods and uses the same arguments,
and we must therefore join hands with
all people throughout the world who are
fighting for the worlds good"
