BOnilld and General
 Lee Christmas HdOe
 Reached New Orleans

revolutionary movement started by General valladares on the Pacific coast of Honduras there is a strong feel ing among the Central Americans here that Bonlla will be the next President of Honduras. Whether this will be ac- complished by a revolution or through election, which Bonilla's friends assert will be demanded shortly by his fol- lowers, remains to be seen.
 That the governments of Guatemala, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are desirous of accomplishing the downfall of the Davila government in Honduras is the conviction expressed by those here who are we'll informed in Central Amer ican affairs. It is said that the heads of these three countries feel that the prosperity of the Central American re- publics depends upon the establishment of a stable government in their sister republic. All of these men frown upon the Valladares movement at Amapala because of Valladares' anti-foreign ac- tivities. They are all anxious to keep on good terms with the United States government and will not give heir moral support to any man for Presi- dent of Honduras who is not acceptable to the state department at Washing ton.
 It is not doubted that Manuel Bonilla can get financial and moral backing in New Orleans for another expedition against Honduras if he decided to adopt this method of regaining the presidency of that country.

OLD MAN RETURNS
 FROM LONG SEARCH

New Orleans, November u.-Convinced that his long lost twin daughters yearn for his companionship and do not write only because they are uneducated or think him dead, Frank Schrum, in the shadow of the century mark in years, today appealed to the press to help him in his efforts for a final reunion before death claims him. MT. Schrum, al though inf1rm and almost totally blind, walked every foot of the distance from New Orleans to San Francisco and re- turn in a fruitless search for his two girls. He got back to his old home here Wednesday night.
 His daughters, one single and one mar ried, left him shortly after the Calves ton flood, for San Francisco, since which time he has heard nothing from them. When he reached the western city a few months ago he learned that they had several years ago moved to South Cal ifornia. but he was too feeble to under take to follow this olew and again turned his face toward New Orleans, where he has lived for three-quarters of a century.
 Life Is a burden to me now" said Mr. Schrum, but will stick it out. I have thought of the suicide proposi- tion, but am unwilling to raise my hand to cut short the life that God gave me-"

New Orleans. November u.--Manue1 Be- nilla, ex-president of Honduras, returned 10 New Orleans today for the first time since his departure from this port last July as the head of what proved to be an unsuccessful revolutionary expedition against the Honduran government. With him, on board the steamer Cartago, came his chief lieutenant in that fiasco, Gen. Lee Christmas, the well-known American soldier of fortune.
 Bonilla and Christmas were expelled from Guatemala, where they were taken prisoners immediately following the col lapse of their expedition against Hondur- as, and President Cabrera of Guatemala ordered them put aboard steamer at Porto Barrios early this week.
 Both Bonilla and Christmas refused to discuss the political situation In Hon duras and declined to be interviewed as to their future plans.
 T will remain in New Orleans for some time, though I cannot now say for how long time,'' said Bonlla. Christmas said that after spending several days here he would go to Memphis for a short stay. Bonllla was met at the dock by large number of friends among them Dr. Faus- from Honduras when the former was president. Bonilla Is a guest at Dr. Da- villas home in this city

PROTEST AGAINST
 JUDGE LANDS

Chicago, November 11.-Judge Landis oi the United States district court is not desired by indicted members of the so- called beef trust" to preside over their trial on a charge of conspiracy in re- straint of trade
 Counsel for the packers today demanded change of venue on the ground that he is disqualified from sitting in the case by reason of having acted in the role of special prosecutor or at least investiga- tor of a similar charge against practi- cally the same defendants 15 years ago.
 File your petition with the clerk of this court and I will hear arguments next Wednesday at 10 a. m.,'' was Judge Lan- dis reply.
 The petition declares that 15 years ago charges were made in the newspapers that certain Chicago meat packers were in a combination in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law to control the price of livestock and meats. Judson Harmon, then attorney general of the United States. appointed K. M. Landis (the pres ent judge) special attorney to investi- gate the charges and to take them be- fore grand jury.
 Mr. Landis spent the better part of the year at the work and eventually the grand jury indicted the late Augustus Swift and divers other persons, charging violation of sections 1 and of the Sher- man antitrust law.
 The alleged beef trust of 1895 and the one of 1910 are identical and the charges practically so, the petition relates. There fore, 1t is claimed, the prosecutor of the one case is not qualified to sit as judge in the other

TESTIMONY IN STANDARD OIL
 CASE PROTESTED BY DEFENSE

ferent concerns, the Indiana company among the number, he declared. Grand Junction, because of its location, served as distributing point So far as freight charges north of Grand Junction were concerned, he knew nothing. Beyond that point he arranged with the railroad com panies for settlements.
 While number of papers demanded by the government were produced by the witness having to do with the trans actions, others were not, having been de- stroyed the witness avowed, in the regu- lar course of business as needless rec ords.
 On ross-examination MT. Van Overbeals denied that the dealings he described were other than a legitimate barter and sale and insisted that the relations be- tween the two concerns mentioned were Identical with business transactions with other oil reflneries.
 The cross-examination had not con- cluded when adjournment was taken un- til tomorrow. The evidence of MT. Van Overbeak was admitted over the protests ot the attorneys for the defense with the proviso made by the court that unless its relevency is shown by the prosecu- ton 1t will be ordered stricken from the record.

DIR. ABBOTT EXPLAINS WHY
 REPUBLICANS WERE BEATEN

New York, November 11.-Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of The Outlook, of which Mr Roosevelt Is a contributing editor, today gave out his (Dr. Abbott's) in depreciation of the recent election em- bodied in an editorial to appear in the next issue of that publication. He attributes the overturn chiefly to popular dissatisfaction with present conditions. especially with the high prices; indignation at the manifest control by the special interests of the tariff revision and still more at the defenses and eulogies of the tariff bill; wrath at the corruptions and the hypo- critical pretenses disclosed in certain influential republican circles, coupled with the forgetfulness of the fact that the exposure and the prosecution were furnished by republicans"
 He also cites the facts that the re- publican party was divided between the insurgents and the regulars, while the democratic party, freed from the tra- ditions of Cleveland and the person. ality of Bryan, was, for the first time In years united causes which combined to bring about political revolution.

SOUTH SHOWS BIG
 INCREASE IN CORN

Washington. November 11.-(Speciai.)- The southern states must be creolteo ior one-half of the total increase of the corn crop which in 1910 is 3,121 1881 600 busheis' or 35s.oO5. GOO bushels more than the yleio of 1909. with Texas showing l2zzoo'ooo hushels as the leader. The other states have produced not only greater agsre- gates but larger yields to the acre than ever before in the south. Six western states account for the remainder or the increase. Alabama has brought her acre yield up from 13.5 bushels to lS' ana hes nse total from s,646.000 last year to SS' 4Sz'ooo in 1910, an increase of nearly oo per cent Other states notably Mississippi, "nicn brought it's acre yield from l4.5 10 v.o' and its total from 40,745,0Oo to oS'zoo,ooo, have done as well and in some instances better Virginia's acre yield IS zo.o' anu Tannessee's 25.9 and Arkansas A. but

ENGLAND TO HAVE
 EARLY ELECTION

London, November 11.-An early gen. erai election being assured, the only question now agitating the country is whether 1t will take place in December or January. Herbert Henry Asquith, the prime minister who must decide this question, so far has kept his own coun- sels. He left town quietly this after noon and not even the members of his cabinet knew his destination until the newspapers announced his arrival at Sandringham, where King George is in residence. The object of the visit IS to acquaint his majesty, who, like his father. often confers with the cabinet ministers, of the failure of the constitu- tional conference and to advise him of the course the government intends to pursue.
 It is said the cabinet has decided not to carry on any further work with parlia- ment without such guarantees as would insure success to the governments policy. Ordinarily the resolution on the veto power of the lords, which passed the house of commons at the last session. would be discussed in the upper chamber and the government would await their reflection before taking action. The re- fusal of the constitution conference to accept the governments compromise, however, makes discussion of the veto resolution useless in the view Of the radicals, and the opinion prevails that the government either must resign or ad- wise the dissolution of parliament.

RUN ON BANK CAUSED
 BY ANOTHER FAILURE

London, November 11.-There were lively scenes at the head offices of the Birkbeck bank in High Holborn today, due to rush of depositors to withdraw their balances. A long line of people three and four deep struggled to get into the institution.
 The Birkbeck has an enormous num- Der of small depositors.
 The bank officials attribute the run to an anonymous circular which connected the company with the Charing Cross bank, which failed recently. There is no connection between the two houses.
 At the close of the banking hours the officials announced that the Bank of England had extended substantial finan- cial assistance to the Birhbeck during the run. When business ceased for the day small crowd was still in line await ing an opportunity to withdraw their deposits, but these dispersed quietly.

TWO ARE KILLED
 IN NEW YORK FIRE

New York, November 1.-Two persons were killed and four seriously injured today in a fire that destroyed two upper floors of the Rosalind apartment house on Manhattan avenue. on the upper west side of the city. William H. Abbott, 8 real estate operator. 45 years old, jumped from a front window on the fifth floor and was impaled on a picket fence below, dying instantly. His wife. 40 years old, was burned to death.
 But for the heroic work of the fire fighters it is probable many more per sons would have lost their lives. Im- perilled tenants on lower floors jumped Into a fire net spread over the sidewalk and all landed unharmed.
 Miss Alice Cullen, telephone operator, who lived on the top floor, was the most seriously injured of the rescued tenants. Her clothing was all ablaze when the f1remen reached her and she was taken to a hospital severely burned.
 Two children and their mother were rescued in an unconscious condition and four firemen were hurt when a burning stairway fell under them in a burning tenement.
 The annex of the Algonquin hotel was gutted in another fire, wrecking the apartments of Frederick Thompson, the theatrical man, who escaped just in time with his most valued trophies. The 25O guests in the hotel proper were routed out,

River Seine Is Again FIOOd- ing Paris and Low Sec-
 tiOnS of Country
1900 PERSONS DRIVEN
 FROM HOMES AT NANCY
Government Is Adopting Measures of snfety to Prevent the Damage and Misery of Last Win
 ter's Floods

Paris,s November 1.-The river Seine Is again on rampage. The rapidity of it's current today forced all the steamers on the stream to suspend operations. Prolonged rains in eastern France have swollen the affluents of the Seine and the steady rising of the big river has caused renewed uneasiness in the lower sections. The suburbs of Paris, in the lvicinity of the river bed, are already slightly flooded
 The river Muerthe and it's branches are over their bank, inundating many vil- lages Great damage has been done at Nancy. where 1900 persons have been driven from their homes.
 All parts of France were suffering from the effects of the floods this afternoon. The quays in the southwestern part of the city were being inundated and work men were making a desperate effort to lated there The openings of the tun- nels of the Orleans railroad were closed to avoid flooding of the underground pas sages.
 It is estimated that the gauge at Port Royal will show the water to have reached height of 5.70 metres by Sun day. This will be 3.22 metres above nor nal. As the gauge stood at 9.50 metres during the height of the flood last Janu- ary the danger to the city at the present time is not considered serious Never theless the government is adopting meas- ures to avoid a repetition of the disaster | of last winter.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-12

"The fact that the insurgents are in- surgents no longer, but are recognized as leaders in the republican party, all indication the election which is a sig nal triumph for the democratic party, is not a defeat of progressive prin- ciples, and does not indicate a dread ance of the progressive spirit.
 Nor do think that the Jack O'Lan- tern bugaboo of MT. Roosevelts imag- ined monarchial ambitions cut any con- siderable figure in the election. The fact that the greatest falling off from the republican vote was in the state of Pennsylvania, where his voice was not once heard In the campaign, is significant, if not conclusive, upon that point.
 MT. Roosevelt was called in to save the situation; he responded to the call, but could not turn the tide.
 "He did something more important, he heartened the progressives in his own party, carried forward In his own state the work of party purif1cation so well begun by MT. Hughes, and did something to inspire with the spirit of genuine national democratic pro- gress the party of his political oppon- ents."
