MADR|z IS PLAYING
SAFE
SEEKING FAVOR OF THE UNITED
STATES TO MAKE HIS OWN
POSITION SECURE.

Washington. Jan. S.-Dispatches from
Managua indicate that President Ma
driz is making every effort to obtain
the favor of the United States.
Madriz's record. however. seems to
justify the doubt entertained in some
quarters as to whether he has any pur-
pose in view other than to make secure
his position.
In addition To- dispatches received
last night that Madriz had publicly de-
nounced the killing of the Americans.
Grocc and Cannon. as unlawful and
unwarranted. and holding \Zelaya per-
sonally responsible for their death. Vice
Consul caldera. in a telegram received
at the state department today. states
that Madriz has issued decress abol-
isiling all monopolies and ordering all
confiscated property to be returned to
the rightful owners.
No confirmation of the reported
drowning of General Diaz has yet been
received at the state department.
The gunboat Marietta. according to a
dispatch received at the navy depart
ment. is On her way from Port Limon
to Bluefields.

A WELCOME VICTORY
TO Cannon
SPEAKER GLAD TO BE RELIEVED
OF RESPONSIBILITY oE.NAM-
ING COMMITTEE.

Washington. Jan. s.-The DISMISSAL
of Forester Pinchot by the president
and the victory for the combined in
surgent republicans and democrats IN
the house yesterday in the matter Of
the selection of the investigation COM
mittee. was the sole topic today at the
capitol prior to the converting of the
house at noon.
There was much reluctance to dis
cuss for the public prints the official
cleaning OUT of the forestry bureau.
but talk was freer with reference to the
fight yesterday on the floor of the
house.
From the supporters of Speaker Can
non il was denied that the insurgent
victory was in any way triumph
over the speaker. II was pointed out
that the whole controversy was an ad-
min.stration fight: that the resolution
Itself was the one desired by the pres
ident. and that the speaker was in no
way concerned.
In fact, he was personally glad to be
relieved Of the responsibility of nam
ing the investigating committee. which
could only bring him criticism from
one side or the other.

MARKET MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY

New York Jan. S.-The quiet stock
market today reflected the weakening
attitude of the speculative element.
One thing which awaited evidently is
the ripper opinion likely to be formed
of the measures presented in the presi
dents message by the general specula-
tive public and by investors. both in
this country and abroad. The point is
advanced that foreign holders or pros
pective investors in American securi-
ties may be encouraged by the super
visory powers over corporation fl
9nances suggested by the chief execu-
tive. In the money market. in the
longer survey bankers are not inclined
to- expect that time money rates will
decline for some time. The reduction
of the recent fsverishness in Rock Is
land removed depressing factor FROM
speculation. The easing of call loans
as the week has gone by prepared
expectation for a good bank statement
today and prompted some of the later
buying of stocks. The actual condi-
ton Of the associated banks showed
a decrease of more than $4,000. 900
in the loan account with a cash gain
of about 100000 600. Further evidence
of the weakness of the stock market
was found in the exhibit of state
banks and trust companies whose
loans showed the unusually large de-
crease of S1l96i4.00O.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales.
$i.701, 200.
United States IS have declined IA
and the Is coupon 1-2 per cent in the
bid price on call since last week.

CHANCE FOR GIRLS
To MARRY

Spokane. Jan. There ar. more
weli-to-do young and middle aged
bachelors in Columbia county, Wash
ington. than i'm any similar area on
this continent" said Ralph Hunt. presi-
dent of the Blue Mountain Bachelors
club. organized at Dayton. and" he
added. with a chuckle. every one of
them is looking for wife"
President Hunt. organizer of the
club. is prominent rancher and grad
uate of the state college of Washing
ton. He announces that the chief OBJ
jects of the association. which has s..
charter members, are to encourage
matrimony by discussing its advan-
tages and happiness. culinary science
education and allied subjects. and Ia
establish an Information and mating
bureau. He said:
Forty bachelors attended the first
meeting. at which il was decided to
gather once a week. but the interes,
together every other night. OF course
we are all pledged to secrecy and. as a
consequence, l cannot give out the
names of others identified with the
plan. but l can assure you that every
member Is on the square.
"Much has been accomplished else
where in mating couples. and we be-
lieve we can make our organization a
success The percentage of bachelors
is unusually large in Columbia county
and there are many who seek happi-
ness in married life. The Information
and mating bureau will be operated
along confidential lines and communi-
cations are solicited from moral young
women everywhere. We have no time
for idle correspondence with others
BY young women l mean women any
where between the legal age and 80
years. of good education and standing

INTERESTING FIGURE
ANSWERS LAST CALL

San Antonio. Jan. s.-With the re-
cent death of the Baroness Agnes Won
Meusebach at Llano, passes one of the
most interesting figures of early Tex
as. Mrs. Agnes Meusebach, as she pre-
ferred to be known in later years, was
the wife of Baron Won Meusebach. who,
together with the Prince Won Solms.
came to southwest Texas about 1916
with the alleged intention to found
there a German republic or monarchy.
Large numbers of German farmers
we're brought over. and the country i'm
mediately to the northwest of this city
was selected by them for settlement.
At New Braunfels some sort of a GEN.
trail government was established.
Prince Solms built a castle there, and
small army was organized along
German military principles. Later on.
Frederichburg was founded as an out
post against the Indians. Although
suffering heavily now and then from
the raids of the Commanches. the set
tiers prospered and for many years
the part settled by them was the only
farming district of southwest Texas.
No practical attempt seems to have
ever been made by the settlers to carry
out their political scheme, this per-
haps. due to the fact that the infeas-
Utility of the undertaking must have
impressed the levclheaded Teutons.
While a coup d'etat against the repub.
lie Of Texas might have shown som.
possibility of success, the assimilation
of that country by the United States
eliminated all hopes of carrying out
whatever plans there had been made.
Shortly afterwards the parties in Ger
many who were interested i'm the en-
terprise. withdrew their support. and
Prince Won Solms returned to his vast
estates in Thuringia. Germany. Baron
Won Muesbach. however. remained. and
most of his descendants live in these
parts today. 1t has never been poa
sible to prove that the settlers har-
bored the ambition ascribed to then
generally. Their offspring has sue
ceeded. however. in making them
selves proverbial i'm Texas. as men of
industry and absolute honesty, and
citizens of the very best type.
Baroness Agnes Won Meusebach was
born at Innsbruck. Tyrol. Austria.
where her father Count ceroth. was the
owner of very large esate. Count c.
roth. her grandfather. lost his life in
the battle of Austerlitz. Mrs. Meuse-
bach's father had the distinction of
being raised in the family of Emperor
Francis of Austria.

WALLACE NEWS

Wallace. Jan. Sowing to the SPLEEN
property this winter. the owners of the
Idaho Copper group. which adjoins the
Reindeer. have decided to resume
work. The Reindeer ledge crosses
their ground and the upper workings
have exposed some good ore.
Many Wallace people are enjoying
sport at lake Chatcolet located west of
here. the lake having frozen over and
allowing delightful skating. The ice
is 10 inches thick and as smooth as
glass and this combined with it's vast
extent and the fishing on the side
makes the spot big attraction. The
fish bite readily and as fast as a line
Is cast through hole in the ice the
man on the upper end of the line gets
a bite.
The Northern Pacific is using
snowplow between Wallace and Salt
csc now. the pillow having been put into
service for the first time this winter
During all of December the snowplow
was not needed. but during the last
several days the snow has become
heavy enough to require the use of
the plow.
Four feet of shipping ore and two
feet of good concentrating ore have
been opened up on the Parrot prop
erty on Sunset peak. Four carloads
of shipping ore have been taken from
the drift already. In a short time a
second tunnel will be started at great
er depth. The property is under lease
to Frank Marks and associates, who
took hold of it last fall. Marks found
concentrating ore at the grassroots
when he started to sink a shaft. He
stopped work on the shaft and drop
ping down the hill. started a crosscut
tunnel which encountered the ore body.
The property was purchased in 1889
by Spokane men for $4,000 and a
similar sum expended in development.
after which work was stopped.
According to Assistant Superin-
tendent H. j. Jeffs of the Western
Union Telegraph company. Wallace is
third in Idaho in the amount of re-
ceipts and general business transacted.
with Boise taking first place and
Lewiston second.
Despite rumors that the Monitor
will resume work soon it is not be-
lieved possible by those acquainted
with the Saltese copper property. Past
attempts to start work in the winter
time have failed owing to the snow
and il has been found that July Is
about the earliest operations can be
taken up again once they are dropped
during the cold weather.
