Mexico City, Dec. 30.-Jose Santos
Zelaya deposed president OF Mica
ragua, at whose direction at least two
Americans were murdered, arrived in
this city and, safe under the Mexican
flag, began his campaign against the
United States government at Wash

as the direct target of his verbal
broadside.
The people of the United States
were provided with a startling piece
of information when Zelaya declared
that 400 American marines took part
in the recent battle between the gov
ernment and insurgent forces at Rama
and that at least 20 United States ma
rines were killed in an engagement
on November |.
Mr.. Knox is not my Judge; | am

In these words Zelaya replied to a
question as to what attitude he would
assume should Secretary Knox seek to

mated that the secretary of state
would not have the right to request
his presence in the United States.

INDICT CHICAGO COAL MEN
Two Prominent Dealers Are Charged
with Defrauding the city-Gamb-
lers Are Also Hit.

Chicago Dec 30.-Indictments on
charges of larceny and obtaining
money by false pretenses in selling
coal to the city of Chicago were re-
turned before Judge McEwen in the
criminal court against:
James p. Connery, secretary and
treasurer of the Chicago Fire Appli-
ance Company and secretary of the
Miami Coal Company.
Michael II. Rogers, Democratic COM
mitteeman of the Thirteenth ward
and head of the NJ H. Rogers & Co.
coal concern.
The return of the two indictments
against the two coal dealers is the
first step in States Attorney Way
mans attack upon the alleged graft
combination. which is charged with
defrauding the city of Chicago out of
many thousands of dollars.
Seven indictments were also re-
turned by the grand jury against six
well known Chicago gamblers. This
action is said to be the opening volley
of determined attack on the part OF
the states attorneys Office to crush
out gambling in Chicago. The state
prosecutor also hopes to show what
gamblers are being protected, by what
city hall men and for what reasons
