.LYMPIC THEATER
GOVERNMENT WINS
DECISIVE VICTORY
Insurgents RepuIsed, Retire in Disor-
der, Abandoning Arms and
Their Ammunition
Stores

MANAGUA, Feb. 24-Capt. Godfrey
Fowler, who commanded General
Chamorros artillery, is reported to
have been wounded in Tuesday bat
tie near Tipitapa. Fowler is an Amer
lean and formerly was member OF the
Thirty-third infantry, U. S. A.
The governments victory appears 10
have been complete. The insurgents
thrice charged at a bridge over the
Tititapa, hurting their infantry against
General Aguilar's battery of three
Maxim guns with the fury of despair,
but were unable to force passage or
the river, and retired in disorder
abandoning 500 rifles, $4,000 cartridges
and their baggage, and leaving their
wounded on the field. The Whereabouts
of General Chamorro is not known
here. The celebration over the govern
ment victory continues here. The
story of the fighting was told in a dis
patch from General Rivas, who was IN
command of the troops that attacked
the insurgents According to RlVas,
the battle began early Tuesday, the
government forces assuming the Of
fensive by an attack on Tisma, which
had been occupied by the insurgents
who had mounted two Maxim guns
These guns, commanded by captain
Fowler, did great execution among
the loyal troops, and for seven hours
General Chamorro had the advantage
AT an opportune moment Rivas was
reinforced by the men under Chavarria
Soon after General Vasquez and Gen
eral Aguilar came to the support OF the
government lines. Aguilar brought ar
tillery and poured merciless fire into
the ranks of the insurgent infantry.
At sl1ndown the rebels withdrew to-
ward Tipitapa, leaving their dead on
the field The fighting was the most
severe of the war thus far, 400 men
being killed or wounded.
During the night Chamorro reorgan-
lied his forces and attempted to cap
ture the trenches occupied by General
Ramirez at Tipitapa. The lighting
lasted four hours. When the insurgents
were driven back they retired in the
direction of Saltillo, and it is thought
they will join the division under Gen
eral Mona.

WOMAN HUGS; ROBBER
DISCARDS COAT, FLEES
THIEVES IN CHICAGO SHOW
WHITE FEATHER
3oo-Pound Grocer Hurls Bologna Sau-
sage at Two Masked lntruders,
and Both Run Precipitous-
ly and Escape

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Thieves showed
the white feather in two instances last
night when resisted by intended vic
Tins, and fed.
In one place woman threw her arms
around a burglars neck and held him
so tightly that he was obliged to throw
off his coat in order to escape.
In another instance two armed rob
bers were put to fight by string OF
bologna sausage hurled into their faces.
Mrs. Fred Brona saw burglar climb
ing out through the basement window
of her home. She caught him by the
legs and pulled him back into the base
ment. Then she threw her arms about
his neck and screamed for help. The
thief struck at her and struggled, but
was unable to free himself. He finally
succeeded in dragging his arms from
the sleeves of his coat and left Mrs.
Brona holding the garment as he
jumped through the window.
Two robbers, one armed with a pistol
and the other with a billy, and both
with blackened faces, entered the gro
Gerry of Herman BarnickoW, 2242 Bel
mont avenue, last night.
1--WE want your money" said the rob-
Der with the revolver.
Barnickow seized a string Of sausages
and threw them, striking the robber
squarely in the face.
The suddenness of the attack sur
prised the intruders, who fled, with
Barnickow in hot pursuit. Barnlckow
who weighs nearly 300 pounds, chased
the men for nearly two blocks, but they
outran him and escaped.

DEMOCRATS WOULD HOLD
TRUSTS FOR HIGH PRICES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The dispo-
sition today of the Democratic MEM
bers of the select senate committee,
appointed to investigate the high cost
of living, to hold the trusts responsible
for advances in prices and to hold the
Republican party responsible for the
trusts indicates that the proceedings
may become stormy before they have
progressed far.
Secretary Wilson and Labor Commits
sioner Neill were called before the
committee today to make statements
of the information that might be eX-
pected from them. Chairman Lodge
attempted to draw out the witnesses
along the line indicated, but Senators
Simmons and Clarke (Arkansas), the
minority members, thought it was a
good time to examine them about
trusts and their bearing upon the cost
of necessities of life.
Senators Lodge, Smoot and McCum-
Der, Republicans, said those questions
could wait until the government Off
cials had given an outline of data III
the departments.
Some feeling was displayed, but the
Democrats were undaunted. Senator
Lodge, however, says that such a
course will not be permitted and mas
much as the investigation is behind
closed doors, it is clear that the Re
publicans have the better of the argu-
ment.

sPEcULAToRs SAID TO OBJECT
TO RAILROAD SECURITIES BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-"The spec
ulators. the men who want to make
real money out of wind and water, are
the only people objecting to the pro
visions Of the administration bill MAX
ing railroad securities of value
This was the statement today of
representative Townsend of Michi-
gan. author of the administration rail-
road measure which bears his name,
in discussing the charge that there
was a "joker' in the bill which would
enable the big railroads to float their
stocks and bonds and prevent the little
ones from doing so.
"If there is joker there" he con-
tinued, ''I do not know it and you will
have to convince me of its presence.
The proposition narrows itself down
finally to this:
"You either want to regulate rail-
roads or you do not.
"If YOU regulate them, the first thing
to do is to make the paper they issue
represent some tangible value, so that
investors may know what they are
buying. If you don't regulate, why
let them continue as they have in the
past and issue just as many millions
of stock based on hot air and prospects
as they think they can SELL"

CONNERS FORCED BY
MURPHY TO GIVE IN
AGREES TO RESIGN CHAIRMAN.
SHIP IN APRIL
Repudiates Harsh Words Said Con-
cernlng Tammany's Chief and
Alleged Auctloning of the
Judgeships in New York

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 24.-William ].
Conners made good his prediction that
he would still be chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee after it's meet
ing today.
In saving his political scalp, how
ever, he lost most Of his hair.
Charles f. Murphy, Tammany chief
tain, whose complete mastery of the
situation was realized by no one better
than by Corners himself, granted the
Buffalo leader a brief political reprieVe
in the interest of party harmony, after
Corners had agreed to resign in April
and repudiate his recent harsh state
ments concerning Mr.. Murphy and the
alleged auctioning of judgeships in New
/ York, which, he declared, was the re-
suit of his "inhrmities of temper and
were unjustifed in fact.
Chairman Corners was reelected for
a tWo-year term on April II, 1908. He
announced today that under no con-
ceivable circumstance would he be a
candidate for reelection"
1.-The office of chairman" he said, "is
a. thanlless and difficult one, anyway"
and he desired to give more time and
attention to his family and to his busi-
ness than he had been able to do since
he accepted the responsibilities of lead
ership four years ago.
He promised, however, to work hard
to uphold the hands of his successor
and to aid in restoring the Democratic
party to power.
Todays meeting lasted less than fif-
teen minutes. After the compromise,
which was arranged at a personal con-
| ference between Conners and Murphy,
all fear of a clash at the meeting van
| ished.
Resolutions were adopted and the
meeting adjourned. The first resolu-
ton was in favor of a federal income
tax. The second placed before the COM
mittee favored the direct primary bill
| introduced by Senator Grady and As
semblyman Frisbie. The third declared
the Republicans won the last national
election upon the platform pledge to
revise the tariff downward, but that in
spite of that pledge "the recent revis-
| ion has in no way removed from the
shoulders of the great mass of the peo-
pie the great burden of indirect taxa
ton"

WOMAN TO BE BOSS
OF DENVER! wow!
At Banquet from Which All Men Are
Barred MayoraIty Campaign
for 1912 Is Planned

DENVER, Feb. PA woman mayor
for Denver!
This is the gossip following banquet
of prominent Denver women, to which
no men were admitted.
The election is two years off, but 1t
is whispered that the advisability of
having a woman candidate in the
field-perhaps two of them-was not
only discussed, but was advocated with
enthusiasm.
It is asserted that more women than
men voted in the last municipal cleo
tion in Denver, also that women Of
ficials who have held offices in Colo
rado have proved efficient One OF
these, Miss Katherine l.. Craig, former
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion, is mentioned as most probable
nominee by the Republicans.
The gossips have already settled II
that Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker will be
the Democratic nominee for mayor.
Mrs. Dewey C. Bailey is recognized
as one of the most influential Repub-
lican women of Colorado. But an OBJ
stacle appeared in the way of her pos
sibility as a candidate for mayor, as ii
is said the Republicans are likely to
name Mr.. Bailey, her husband, for
mayor.

Following the outburst of joy dis
cussion turned today on the better
route for General Juan Estrada's tri-
umphal trip to Managua.
When the latest news was received
the band paraded the streets and sere-
naded U. S. Consul Moffatt in front
of his residence. The Estrada men
hugged each other and laughed hys-
terically.
AS usual the cooler heads who had
often been misled, demanded further
confirmation of the optimistic reports
concerning recent developments.
Late advices indicate that General
Vasquez's disorderly retreat was OF
but brief duration and that he was
able to muster sufficient force to fire
few more artillery shots late yes
terday.
General Mena is still at San Vicente.
His forces, with General Matuty's
now number, according to official re-
ports 500, of which 600 will proceed
cautiously around the hills, securing

BIG PAWNSHOP
HELM VEHEMENTLY OPPOSES
SHIP SUBSIDIES
Tariff Laws Have Made the United
States Dear Market, Is Decla-
acknowledgment
Will Not Buy
Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Vigorously
opposing ship subsidies, Representative
Helm of Kentucky in a speech in the
house today, declared the United
States government was being con-
verted into a gigantic pawnbrokers
shop, for the purpose of extending
trading.
He insisted subsidies had not built
up the maritime interests OF the
United States.
'I do not subscribe to the policy that
would convert this government into a
gigantic pawnbroker's shop to acquire
trade" declared Mr.. Helm. II do not
think we are materially improving our
trade relations with Central and South
America by attempting to put men
selected at Washington in control or
the governments of certain OF these
countries In my opinion it will require
something more than subsidies to
overcome the adverse feeling engen-
dered by our present policy in that
zone of the western hemisphere, which
should be our best market.
Lauds Root Policy
"I am apprehensive that the good eff
feet of former Secretary Roots visit
to the Central and South American re-
publics, looking to more cordial rela-
tionships with these governments, has
been largely discounted by our more
recent domineering policy there. fear
some plumbers and mistakes have been
made. That quarter of the globe is on
the eve of great development, from
which we are in position to reap some
of the benefits, and 1 surely believe
that the Root policy will yield US bet
ter returns than the coercive policy:
Tariff laws, Mr.. Helm declared, had
made the United States dear market.
Foreigner Won't Buy
at is as unreasonable" he added,
"for us to expect the foreigner to pur-
chase in a protected market where the
seller insists on profits that arise by
operation of laws, as it is to expect
the Individual to do his shopping at
the highest price in the highest-prlced
store in any given locality
"The report of the commissioner OF
navigation shows that we have three
subsidized lines on the Caribbean
route. and the full. complete and tlnai
answer to all arguments in support OF
subsidy as a trade producer is that,
notwithstanding these subsidized lines,
orr trade in that sphere has decreased
instead Of increased"

SAYS UNJUST LAWS PREVENT
AMERICANS BECOMING SEAMEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-"Ameri-
cans quit going to sea forty years ago,
when they failed to get any laws that
would insure them decent employment
declared Andrew Furuseth of San
Francisco, president of the Interna-
tional Seamen's union, before house
committee today.
"The laws of the country governing
the employment of seamen are all out
of date" he said. 1.-The American law
regarding the arresting of fugitive sea-
men was passed two years before the
fugitive slave law, and the slave law
was based upon it. But when the fugi-
tive slave law was repealed the sea-
mems law was left on the statute
books"
Asked why the existing steamship
companies were asking for govern
ment subsidy when the existing laws
were so in their favor, Mr.. Furuseth
answered.:
Il dent know. America is now the
fourth maritime nation in the world"

ARGUES FOR A REVISION OF THE
MINING LAWS
Sec. BalInger Says BeVeridge conser-
vation Bills Are In Line with
Interior Departments
Recommendation
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga graphic
picture of Alaska, with her millions in
gold lying beneath hundreds of feet OF
frozen earth, was drawn by Delegate
James Wickersham today in state
ment before the house committee on
territories in support of bill for the
revision of the Alaskan mining laws
He told of the luck of the pioneer
prospector and of his pathetic failures;
the crudeness and inadequacy of the
mining laws, and of resort to rifle, pis-
tol and lynch law.
"There is not a foot of the mining
territory" said Mr.. Wickersham, that
is not now open to litigation. Our
claim to every acre of mining ground
there is held by a rope of sand.
Alaska always has paid her way.
She never has asked anything of Uncle
Sam. Last year she sent to him $780,
900. 900 in virgin gold and her trade
with the United states was worth
100000, 0OO"
Describing the physical features of
Alaskan mining, Mr.. Wicllersham told
how the miners, frequently single
handed in the midst of an unexplored
wilderness far from civilization, dug
with pick and shovel through 800 feet
of frozen earth to bedrock in search
or gOld.
In regard to bills introduced yester-
day by Senator Beveridge of Indiana
for conservation of Alaskan coal lands,
Secretary Ballinger said that the SEN
ators suggestions were not new, but
were in line with recommendations
previously made by the interior de-
,partment.
All unappropriated coal lands in
Alaska, he said, were withdrawn from
location and entry on November r.,
1906, and still remain withdrawn. He
called attention to the fact that in his
annual report to the president he sug-
gested the necessity of new legislation
relating to coal lands in the states
and territories "as we'll as Alaska 1"
recommended lawsl separating the
right to mine from the title to the soil,
and the leasing of coal deposits in the
land subject to such conditions as
would control the minimum output
and conserve the deposits as a public
utility
