Suit Of Lille S. SpaIding Is Dis
missed by the Court

SEATTLE, July 20-The div .rce suit
of Lille S. Spalding against w. S.
Spalding was dismissed in the superior

S. Spalding, who deserted her in 1890.
The erring husband was a painter with
a sandy mustache. Mrs. Spalding a
few months ago learned of the presence
in Seattle of a painter whose name and
description were the same as that OF
her missing husband. Suit was brought
against the Seattle Spalding, who cas-
ily proved his innocence. He came
here from Helena, Mont, three years
ago. and six months ago went to Los
Angeles, where he is now living with
his wife.

BLUEFIELDS RESIDENT
PREDICTS EARLY PEACE
Business Man Says War in Mica
ragua Soon Will Enc

F. G. Martin, a business man of
Bluefelds, who arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday and registered at the King
Edward hotel, said that peaceable con-
ditions will soon exist in Nicaragua
and that the opposing forces are en-
gaging in little warfare. The arrival
of a force of American marines and
sailors in Bluefields May 16 much mod
flied the stormy conditions.
Mr.. Martin said that when he left
Bluefields the only American vessel
there was the United States steamship
Dubuque, and that only occasionally the
Estrada forces, which occupy por-
ton of the eastern country, including
the outskirts of Bluefields, created any
disturbances.
'Shortly before I left" said Mr.. Mar
tin, zone of Estrada's gunboats at
tackled and captured Half Way Key, a
small island lying between Bluefields
and the bluff which is occupied by the
army of Madriz. News was received
July 4 from Gen. Mona that the west
ern division of the Estradan army
was rapidly approaching Managua, the
stronghold of Madriz and was being
STRENGTHENED daily by desertions from
Managua and Granada. The foreign
element in and around BlueieldS gem
orally favors Estrada, as he is popu-
lar, we'll meaning sort of chap, who
takes the revolution business very Serl-
ously.
Pittman, who is now in Jail at Mana
qua, enlisted with Estrada and was
caught by the followers Of Madriz one
night while attempting to set off ex-
plOsives on the Bluefields bluff. 1 saw
DR.. Burgheim in Blueflelds ten days
ago and L do not believe he is in
prison. as reported.
Vessels are coming and going from
Bluefelds without interference, so the
present blockade OF Bluehelds is a
farce. In Bluefelds there are now
about thirty American residents. Busi
ness there is flourishing."

MAKES THEFT CONFESSION
AS JURY RETURNS WITH
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY

CHICAGO, July 2O.-Benjamin Biano
watched the clock in Judge Barnes court
room for an hour and half yesterday
imagining every minute that the jury
was getting nearer and nearer a verdict
in his trial on a charge of stealing $1,000
worth of clothing.
And then, just as the first juror made
his appearance in the doorway Biano
Ieaped to his feet and told the judge he
was guilty He was sentenced to five
months in the bridewell.
When BianO had been led from the
court room the verdict was opened, just
for curiosity, and it read:
''Not guilty.
But 1t was too late to help BianO:
BianO's partner had turned states evil
dence against him at the trial.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Fear exists
that Edwin F. Trimmer United States
consul at Cape Gracias, Nicaragua,
may be assaulted or possibly even as
sassinated, and it has been decided to
send the cruiser Tacoma to that port
to investigate. If conditions demand
it. marines will be landed to protect
American lives and property. This was
the report made to the state depart
ment today by Thos. p. Moffatt, Unit
ed States consul at Bluefelds. Two
officers and forty-five men were ordered
to Cape Gracias on the Tacoma, he
says, after a conference between him
self and Commander Hines of the Du-
buque. The Tacoma probably has
reached the scene of trouble by this
time.
An article in La Nacion, an official
Madriz organ, published at Managua,
indicates the feeling in Nicaragua
against Americans. In part it reads
as follows:
1--WE Nicaraguans have some limited
means to which we may resort as a
final recourse if it comes to the point
that the Yankee tries to execute his
threat. Let US lay hands on all the
North Americans residing in Nicaragua
and let us say to Mr.. Taft, for each
shot you hurl against us, a head of one
of your countrymen shall roll on the
ground
Another of the means to which we
may resort in revenge for SO great an
injury, and for this I do not believe
we are less able than the Young Turks
let us organize in the form of pow
erful coalition, to the end that in all
the Latin American countries, no goods
shall be purchased from the United
States making our people understand
that this is the most efficacious method

race so proud on account OF its power,
so insolent on account of it's pride, and

INVOLVED IN GRAFT CASE
Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, July 20.-Ira G.. Rawn,
president of the Chicago, indianapolis
& Louisville (the Monon route), died
of bullet wound at his summer res
idence in Winnetka, fifteen miles north
of Chicago, earl ytoday.
Members of Mr.. Rawn's family say
he was killed by a burglar. The po-
lice are working on a theory that Mr..
Rawn killed himself. AS a basis for
their suicide theory the police point
to the fact that Mr.. Rawn was oper-
ating vice president of the Illinois Cen
tral at the time the fraudulent car re-
pair contracts were put through and
that recently he has been drawn into
the Illinois Central graft investiga-
tion as a chief witness. They say the
atcion of Mr. Rawns relatives in re-
fusing the aid of the Chicago detec-
tive department to search for the al
legged murderer is suspicious.
They declare there exists a lack of
convincing evidence that an intruder
had actually been discovered in the
residence.
Mrs. Rawn, tie widow; r. G. Coburn,
his son-in-law; Mrs. Coburn and two
children and three maids were in the
house when the tragedy occurred. Mrs.
Rawn says her husband was aroused
from sleep at 1:30 o'clock this morning
by a noise on the first floor of the
residence. She says Mr.. Rawn picked
up a revolver, started down stairs and
was shot while on a landing on the
way down.
CLAIM TWO SHOTS FIRED
Both Mrs. Rawn and Coburn say two
shots were fired. A minute search of
the front hall and adjoining rooms of
the residence, however, show but one
bullet, that fired from Mr.. Rawn's re-
volver and which apparently had
passed through Mr.. Rawn's body just
below the heart.
Coroner Peter Hoffman took personal
charge of the investigation into the
death. He said powder marks had been
found on Mr.. Rawn's night gown. in
dicating that the revolver from which
the fatal bullet was fired was dis
charged at close range. Friends and
business associates of Mr.. Rawn say he
has beed looking badly for several
weeks. Some thought he was worry
ing over the investigation of the con-
spiracy by which the Illinois Central
railroad claims it was mulcted of thou
sands of dollars.
AVOIDS EXAMINATION
On two successive days last week
Mr.. Rawn begged for and secured a
postponement of his examination as a
witness on a plea that his wife was ILL.,
His examination was scheduled to be
taken up again next Tuesday.
Mr.. Rawn left the Illinois Central
railroad in November, 1909, and became
president of the Monon. Early this
spring the Illinois Central fraud came
to light.
At the first hearing before Master in
Chancery Thomas Taylor, jr., Mr..
Rawn testified that car repair con-
tracts all came under his supervision.

MAUD ALLAN Will
DANCE AT ORPHEUM
Will Appear in Vaudeville Play
house This Morning, Only
Salome Being Barred

The announcement in yesterday morn
ing's Call that Miss Maud Allan would
not dance The Vision of Salome" at
the Orpheum theater this Friday morn
ing led some readers to the hasty con-
clusion that she was not going to
dance there at all. Miss Allan is going
to dance at the Orpheum this morning
and will appear in a portion of her
repertoire of classic dances, but she
is not going to dance the Salome. She
is also going to dance a farewell re-
cital at the Garrick Sunday afternoon.
The advance sale of seats for both
performances has been very heavy, the
management states. Her grace and
the beauty of the music which she I'M
dertakes to illustrate have not been
questioned, and the attendance at her
recitals bespeaks the curiosity and in
terest of the public in her perform
ances.
The recital Sunday afternoon will be
positively her farewell to San Fran
cisco. Unlike her former recitals,
however, there still remain choice res
ervations, it is announced.
