No BLIZZARD TO-DAY.
Fair Weather Prediction Was Made
Last March 4.

AT midnight il looked as If the Weather
Bureau had made a far wiser guess this
year in predicting "fair weather for
March than il did year ago. when the
same forecast was made for Inauguration
day-and a blizzard followed
Exactly the same predictions were sent
out this year and last on March 3 Tor
the following day. but a clear sky last
night gave promise that the weather man
may have picked a winner for to-day.
One year ago Washington was cut off
from the world, the inaugural ceremonies
were marred by the blizzard. and intense
suffering from the cold was caused. To-
day, the bureau that made the same fore
cast says Washington shall enjoy the
same ideal day that was promised year
ago. and if-but what's the use of try
ing to beat the official forecaster at his
own game?
Look the weather over yourself and
then say. II told you so
William II. Taft has been President OF
the United States just one year to-day at
noon. That twelvemonth has been an
eventful one for the Chief Executive of
the nation. In a speech on inaugural
eve. he said he expected to be criticised
and hammered. His recent remarks in
dicate conclusively that he hasn't been
disappointed.

Hunting Man Lured to Bet
OH the Races.

New York, March 5.-Wireless wire
tappers. the police have learned, are ac-
tive in New York these days. Walter
Gwynn, of Huntington. w. Va, told the
police that he lost $4,000 trying to beat
the poolrooms. He said that he was
stopping at the Broadway Central when
he met the men who got him in bad. and
it was all because of a southern gem
tlemen."
The Southern planter was a good
spender, and Mr. Gwynn was impressed.
They went to one of the old-time dirigible
poolrooms. Mr.. Gwynn saw the Southern
planter put up lots of money. Monday was
fixed for the time when the big race was
to be played and the killing was to be
made. Mr.. Gwynu, the police say. tel
egraphed to his bank for the money.
He turned 1t over to the Southern gen.
tlomen and they all waited in a house in
West Fifty-eighth street for the returns
from the track. Shortly after the money
was put UP a newspaper came in and
said that there had been a mistake and
the horse had fallen down.
Later Gwynn bought a newspaper and
saw that the horse really did win, but
the wireless wiretappers had gone.

ESTRADA TO START
REPUBLIC OF OWN
Expected to Appeal to United
States for Recognition.

Bluefelds, by wireless to Colon. March
3-Officials OF the Estrada government
took account of their lighting stock this
afternoon and arrived at the conclusion
that they have not enough soldiers left
to carry on guerrilla warfare.
The upshot of this conclusion has been
to order the remnants Of their once pre-
sentable army to hasten back to Blue
fields. Another decision IS to organize
a republic in place Of the domain over
which Judge Madriz. Zelaya's successor,
rules.
The only impediment to this. programme
would be the arrival of Vasquez and his
victorious army in this community. II
is reported here on apparently reliable
authority that Vasquez is well on his way
across the republic and is prepared to
attack Rama. the center Of Nicaragua's
banana industry.
Now Estrada wants to rule his own
little domain, and unless Washington in
terferes this will be the programme. Pa
pers will be drawn up this week calling
on the American State Department to
indicate its wish In the republic.

Democratic National Chair
man Says Days Are Done.

Hot Springs, Ark. March S-Norman
z. Mack, chairman OF the Democratic
National Committee, declared in an in
terview to-day that the sun of the Re
publican party was setting, and predicted
that the Democratic party would be su-
preme in national affairs within a few
years.
Mr. Mack said the next House Of Rep
would be Democratic by a
large majority, and that the next Presi-
Dental election would show the country
how the Republican party has deterior-
ated.
The Democratic party, he said. IS In a
splendid condition for a fight--a condition
which offers a sharp contrast to the dis
and split in the ranks of the
Republicans The breach in the latter
party. made by the 'insurgent'' move
ment, he said, is constantly widening.
and the leaders will have hard time IN
bridging it.
says DisSensiOn Is Fatal.
The Democratic chairman declared that
the majority in Congress shows a thor
ough lack of harmony, and that dis
sension had badly hampered its work.
The Republican party, he said. is badly
split up in New York State and through
out the nation.
''As surely as the Republican sun is
going down into the cloudsS the sun OF
the Democratic party Is rising into a
clear sky" he said. when a national
party gets its entire system so thor
oughly impregnated with poison. It is no
easy matter TO clarity it again AS things
look now, we are going to carry the next
House Of Representatives beyond doubt
What effect do you think the home
coming of Roosevelt will have?" was
