EXPECT ATTACK
ON GREYT0WN
CENSORSHIP INCREASES AS
BATTLE NEARS
Estrada Directs Operations from
Rama-6oo Prisoners Swear AL
Iegiance to Revolutionary.
Loyalty Unquestioned
Associated Press1

BLUEFIELD, Jan. s, via New Orr
clans, Jan. 15.-The forwarding OF
plans for an attack on Greytown and
Managua is indicated in the Increased
rigors of the censorship.
Correspondents have been frankly
informed that the success of the pro-
visional governments plans depends
on secrecy.
An advance guard of 400 of General
Mena's troops has occupied Acoyapa
without opposition. A fight was eX-
pected at this point, but when Mena S
scouting party found the town ungar-
risoned it took possession. General
Mena has returned to Rama, i'll of pto-
maine poisoning.
Estrada, using the military telegraph
line. is directing operations from Rama
A second detail of the military 'pl n
includes the capture of GreytoWn by
General Matuty. After taking Grey
town Matuty is expected to join forces
with the other troops at Acoyapa.
Matuty's force of about 1000 men VIII
include 600 prisoners captured at Re
creo. but who swore allegiance to the
provisional government at the hrst
opportunity.
were D6l11R SuDSlSlGu NY thC ieS1 - S'7N'
SQUAD, and their loyalty to Estrada is
not questioned.
1t was originally planned that the
Greytown expedition should be led by
General Estrada, but it apparently
has been determined that he enter
Managua only after the war, and not
as the head of troops coming as con-
querors.
Three thousand extra rifles, with am
munition, have been taken to the inte-
rior to arm the people of Chontales,
who are expected to join the pro-
visional forces. Recruits are already
coming in by the scores.
The army which will carry the pro-
visional governments banner against
Managua will be the largest and by
far the best equipped since Zeloya, in
the early years of his administration,
led a force Of 10000 against Costa Rica.
General Chamorro, chief of the field
artillery, will have 600 well fed, well
equipped men.
The trails along the Mica river which
are so bad that they almost wrecked
the Zelayan army, have been avoided
by the PROFESSIONALS, who have used
boats as far as Chile.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-16

Some of the crew declare that the wave
was sixty feet high.
1t smashed through the bridge, broke
in a part of the wheel house and serl-
ously deranged the steering gear.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 15.-The gauge of
the Mississippi river at st. Louis stood
at nineteen feet this morning. This
represents a fall of more than twelve
feet in thirty hours. Little ice is run
ming. The steam and wharf boats which
were left on the levee by the rapid de-
cline are being moved back into the
water by the tugboats.
The Brandenburg, or Wolf creek,
gorge in the Ohio river at Louisville
still holds. the 60-mile ice jam ap-
parently growing stronger during the
night with the drop in temperature.
Watch fires are kept burning at night
along the river and people are ready
for warning of the first signs of a
break.
The river today reached flood stage
in Louisville.
Ten coal barges We're torn from their
moorings at Towhead island, five miles
above Louisville, but all were caught
before going over the falls.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 15.-Interest in
the condition of the Kansas river as a
result of ice gorges centered today in
a great jam near Edwardsville, Kas.,
twelve miles up stream from here. AT
that place the ice is piled twenty-five
feet high from bank to bank.
That heavy damage to bridges and
barges will result when this gorge
breaks is feared by river men. There
were no signs of q breaking up early
today From Edwardsville to the mouth
of the Kansas river at Kansas City
the channel is practically free from ice.

CLARK HOPEFUL
FOR DEMOCRACY
PREDICTS CONTROL OF NEXT
HOUSE OF CONGRESS
Minority Leader Tells of Party's
Thriving Spirit In Ohio and
Other States-PeopIe
Dissatisfied
ASSOCIATED Press1


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Champ
Clark, the minority leader of the
house, returned to the capital today
after ten days of speech making in
Missouri and the middle west, and
spread cheering predictions of sweep
ing Democratic victory on the con-
gressional election this fall and a
Democratic house of representatives.
Mr. Clark said he found thriving
spirit of Democracy in Ohio and Mis-
souri, and other places he visited.
In Missouri, he predicted. the Re-
publicans would be wiped off the
map"
He said dissatisfaction with Repub-
lican rule was never so widespread as
now, and that the next house of rep
resentatives would be Democratic las
sure as anything in the world
Would Be Big Show
Mr. Clark brought with him the in
teresting story which he learned at
Kansas City of the departure of a
certain man from the latter place a
few days ago for Africa, representing
practically all the commercial bodies
of the west, to invite Col. RooseVelt
to land at San Francisco on his re-
turn to the United States and cross
the country from west to east.
"Such a procession across the coun-
try would be the greatest show seen
on this earth since the morning stars
first sang together said the Demo-
cratic leader.
Mr.. Clark recalled that President
Grant had done much the same thlns,
and said if Grant had LANDED at o odn
Francisco at a more opportune time
no mower could have prevented his
nomination for the presidency for a
third term.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Knowledge
regarding infection of human beings
with plague from squirrels on the Pa
cific coast is very limited. So states
George w. Mccoy, past assistant sur
geon of the public health and marine

evidence of plague infection among
ground squirrels just issued by the bu-
reau.
DR.. Mccoy gives it as his personal
opinion that "the number of human

TAFT RIDlCUlED
BY LA TOILETTE
SENATOR CONDEMNS PlNPOINT
ETIQUETTE
Shows Where BaIIinqer, Subordinate,
Did Without Reprimand What
Chief Forester Was Dis
missed for Doing
Gspec i to The Herald


MADISON, Wis. Jan. 15.-"The Bal
linger letter called forth and was re-
sponsible for the Pinchot letter. The
Ballinger letter received no rebuke
from the president. The Pinchot letter
is made the basis of an executive or
der removing from office a man of the
highest character, whose long pubic
service is an enduring monument to
his name"
In this terse language Senator La
Toilette today, in the leading editorial
of his magazine, brands as "pin-point
official etiquette" the dismissal OF
Chief Forester Pinchot.
In bold contrast he holds up the fact
that Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger sent a letter to Senator Jones of
Washington, which was read on the
floor of the senate in the same man
ner as Chief Forester Pinchot's letter
to Dolliver was read.
"Search the records for case to
match it," says Senator La Toilette,
referring to the Ballinger letter. BE
hold a member of the cabinet whose
department has been charged with cor
rupt or improper practices relative to
coal lands in Alaska angered at other
officials of the executive department
because, as he says, they are the
source and inspiration of the charges.
Behold him ignore his superior, the
president, and come by letter upon the
floor of the senate to file charges
against his official colleagues of the
forestry service, members of the exec
utive family!
Had No Complaint
"He does not complain that they
have violated any statute or betrayed
any public trust, but that they have
criticised and inspired criticism and
charges against other officials of the
same administrative household, and
urges that they be investigated by
congress.
HE ignores the fact that under the
constitution the executive and the leg
islative are separate. independent but
coordinate branches of the govern
ment; that congress has no authority
over these executive officials; that the
president alone can deal with them, ac-
quit or condemn, approve or punish"
In rather vigorous language Senator
La Toilette shows that the CLAWS case,
upon which real charges against Sec
retary Ballinger are based, is almost
forgotten in President Tafts letter dis
cussing the case in dismissing Pinchot.
But this case is too big and strikes
down too deeply into the life of the
American people to be disposed of
lightly upon a point of official ETH
quiette," says Senator La Toilette.
1.-The guilt which the president re-
fers to in speaking of Pinchot's let
ter was not. as might be inferred from
the use of that word in this connection,
in any public land steal, but VIOLA
tion of official propriety in letting the
public know about an attempt upon
the part of others, connived at by pub
lie officials, as they believe, to steal
the public lands"
