 THE CITY OF MATAGALPA

Managna. February 14.-fIeayy field guns yesterday began q bombardment of Mat agalpa, which on February 10 was taken by the revolutionary army under Gen eral Chamorro. Prior to the opening of the bombardment the government notified the American consular agent at that city, William II. DeSayisny, so that the non combatants could withdraw.
 MT. DeSavigny protested against the bombardnlent, which nevertheless Was carried out
 The Madriz troops were under command of General Lara, with General Chavarra and Gen. Porto Carriero supporting him. These troops are said to have numbered about 3o00 men.
 Subsequently, the attack upon the city was abandoned, but 1t is likely to be re- stunned at any moment. It occupied several hours ut the extent of the damage done has not been sscertained.
 The situation In Managua is tense and no one can say what is likely to hap pen in the next few days. particularly in event of the government forces fail- ing to defeat the revolutionists.

SUGAR OFFICIAL
 MUST BE TRIED

New York, February 14-Charles R. Refining company, the so-called sugar trust, is not immune" He must stand trial beginning March l next, on in dictments charging him, with other em- ployes of the company, of conspring to defraud the government by underweigh- ing imports of sugar
 For weeks past counsel for Heike have attempted to prove before a jury in the United States circuit court that Heike should not be prosecuted in view of testi- mony he gave before the grand jury, which returned the indictments. But in this they failed, for Judge Martin ruled this afternoon that in the courts opinion the defendant was not entitled to im- munity. and accordingly he instructed the jury to bring in a formal verdict dis- missing the plea interposed in the secre- tsrys behalf
 In arguing for immunity counsel for Heike admitted his guilt but mants inc d that though guilty, his grand jury testi- mony was bar to prosecution. This led the government 10 the decision that the indictment would move for imme- diate sentence on the ground of guilt. Heike's lawyers changed the plea to mot guilty" and time for trial was fixed.
 In ruling against Hcike today Judge Martin referred to the danger that would follow if indiscrimnate pleas at the bar were allowed and the opportunity it would give rich men to avoid the ad- ministration of justice. There had been no evidence, he said. to show that the government was animated by bad faith in bringing the defendant before the grand jury or that any effort was made to extract testimony from the defendant that might be used against him.

MILL OPERATIVES
 WANT MORE WAGES

Fall River, Mass, February 4.-The unrest among the 5000 cotton mill opera lives of Fall River may lead to the ab- rogation of the sliding scale agreement which has been in force for three years or q. decided modification of it's terms in favor of the employees. Three of the un- ions represented in the textile council have called special meetings for We'd nesday night to act upon the question of continuing the agreement. The two re- maining unions will issue calls tomorrow for special meetings to discuss the sub ject. e
 Under the terms of the agreement the unions have until Monday, February % to give notice of desire to withdraw from the sliding scale agreement Should the arranSement be rescinded demand for an advance in wages will be resented it is expected.
 Manufacturers say that the present con 1ition of business is far from satisfactory but add they have kept the machinery In operation despite the strong pressure rom Boston to induce them to curtail output.
 In the event of movement to declare a strike for higher wages, 1t is stated that the mills will be shut down without waiting for the operatives to walk out.

Washington. February l4-(speciai')- ')-- With the. Presidents executive pro- gramme under fire not only by the in surgent republicans and the democrats but within his own organization, mem bers or Congress will try asking one an other the perpiexing question today, how is he going to do, it? The Presidents executive programme is well known to Congress. It was written in the Chicago platform and he has declared his faith in it in a hundred speeches. Meanwhile time is fleeting and Congress is Congress.
 Just exactly like all of it's predecessors the sixty-first Congress ran on the plat form and cheerfully. and promptly forgot 1t when the votes were counted. Some of the leaders whose recollection of the platform is intact are devoting their hardest thinking to processes by which the platform pledges may be carried out in form but nullified in spirit.

Washington February 1.-"Considerabie misunderstanding seems to exist with re- spect to the forfeiture clauses in the fed eral incorporation bill, and it would ap- pear from the criticisms as if though these provisions were designedly misrep- resented for the purpose of creating a prejudice against the measure.

Whot Is Taft Going to Do About
 Executive Plan of Making Laws

1 In his first message to Congress the President presented an ambitious pro- granme, asking for everything promised in the platform and calling for little more which he thought would be good for the country. As soon ssk Congress got under the way the fight between the insur- rents and organizatIon was renewed and all business was tied up until the Presl- dent took a hand. He summoned both factions to him and laid down the law. The revised programme called for amend ments to the interstate law, limitation of federal injunctions. postal savings bank, statehood, and. on the quiet. ship subsidy To this list the President added conser- vation of the national resources and a federal incorporation act as part of his programme but not necessarily test of repuhiicanism.
 Tho President Is going to fight for his propositions, that is, fighs as well as he knows how, which is not much, until Congress adjourns. How Congress Is go- ing to adopt these recommendations no one knows at this stage.

NO TRACE FOUND
 OF MISSING TUG

Washington, February 1A7The search of the. United States navy and revenue cutter service for the naval tug Nina and her crew of B men was continued to- day with grim fidelity Not trace of the little craft has been found at the end of the third day of the exploration of the Atlantic and the only ray of hope is found In the absence of any reports of wreckage in tho broad expanse of water from Norfolk to Boston. Even this hope is discounted by tho fact that the vessel, being of steel .construction, may have gone suddenly to the bottom of the sea before tlae crew hsd time to launch q boat or unlash life preseryer.
 The fate of the crew is all 6 matter of conjecture and the hope to which officials cling is that they were picked up by some passing vessel not yet spoken by the searchers. It. is possible that they may be aboard @ foreign bound steamer and have not yet been transferred
 The government is pushing the search with all possible speed and thoroughness and will continue the work until all hope Is abandoned Today the navy depart ment ordered the fast scout cruiser Salem, which is searching the neishbor- hood ofithe Virginia capes. to proceed to winter quarter and Fenwick Island light ships, located a little above, Hog Island off the Virginia shore and explore the waters in that vicinity.
