MADR|z WILL SEEK .:
REFUGE IN MEXICO
Informed by Honduran Officials
He Must Move On

Washington, Aug. 27.-Honduras off.
cially has invited DR.. Madriz, the de-
posed president of the Nicaraguan
government at Managua, to move on.
This information was received at the
state department from it's diplomatic
representatives. 1t accounts for the
announcement that Madriz, who fled
from Nicaragua to Amapala, on the
little Honduran island just beyond the
Nicaraguan border, is to leave on Mon
day for Mexico. 1t also explains the
departure from Honduras to Costa
RIGA of the generals who fled with
MadriZ to Amapala.
The request of Honduras was based
on an article in the Washington con-
vention to which the Central Amer
lean republics were signatories. In
that treaty it was providd specifically
that the leaders of faction in one
country should not be permitted to
take refuge in department of an
other country which borders on the
republic in which there was fractional
trouble.

The Air Brake.

To forget the inventions Of the hour
IS an impossibility. They are before
one at every turn. and many of them
contain potentialities vast and much
discussed. For that very reason it is
we'll occasionally to contemplate some
invention of the past which works un-
remittingIy and inconspicuously for
the welfare of mankind. Consider the
air brake. How many when they take
a journey by rail ever take thought Of
the device which stands ready to in
sure safety from possible accidents?
All are so used to sibilant noise below
the cars that they never consider its
portentousness. Yet by this applica
ton Of the power Of compressed air
tens Of thousands Of lives have been
preserved and railroad travel has been
made more expeditions. All this is
arrant truism; not a word of it but
what has been said scores Of times be-
fore. But we like to dwell upon the
air brake as one Of those typical in
ventions which are doing their work
faithfully and humbly while recent
creations get the glory and applause

TO PROBE MICHIGAN HORROR
State Officials Will Decide if Train
men Were Competent.


men Were Competent.
Durand, Mich, Aug 27.-With the
railroad, the county and the state
making Independent Investigations of
the Grand Trunk wreck at Duffield,
near here, in which six Pullman pas
sengers were killed and eight persons
injured, three probably fatally, it be:
came evident that some very stringent
action will follow.
Secretary Kelly of the state railroad
commission declares that if the Grand
Trunk is found to have used incom-
petent men after the edict during the
strike against incompetent strike
breakers the road will be prosecuted.
Brakeman G. M. Graham, Montreal
express, the Pullman of which was
split in twain by train No. from the
rear, strikebreaker, declared that the
tail lights or the express were burn
ing and that he performed his duty
as rear flagman and placed the torpe-
does.
Engineer Charles Spencer, No. 4,
declares no tail lights were burning,
that he was not tagged and that the
torepdo exploded scarcely cars
length from the fated Pullman.

How "Then" Would Work.

"Thon" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro-
noun of common gender, luxury
which the English language has thus
far had the fortitude to forego. 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause it came from the Greek. Its use
may be illustrated as follows:
If parent desires to spank thon's
(his or her, as the case may bel child
thon (he or she' should take thon (him.
her or it, across thon's knee Then
thon should remove thon's slipper, and
after explaining to the child the repre-
feasibility of thon's conduct thon
should apply the slipper to that por'
ton of thon's anatomy which from
time immemorial has been dedicated to
that purpose.
1t may easily be seen from the above
how "thon' effects great clarifcation.-

CHOLERA CLAIMS
SIXTY THOUSAND.
Deaths in Russia During
Present Epidemic.
SAID TO BE ON THE WANE

New Cases and Deaths for the Past
Week Show a Decrease From That
of the Previous Seven Days-offi-
ciaIly Admitted That Several Cases
of the Scourge Have Been Discov-
cred in Vienna.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-A slight
Improvement in cholera conditions in
South Russia is shown by the latest
reports to the government sanitary
bureau and to the Red Cross. This is
taken as a sign that the epidemic is
now on the wane.
Reports for the week Aug. IA to 20,
inclusive, give 1906 new cases and
7,743 deaths, as compared with 1884
cases and 1923 deaths for the prev
ious week, making a grand total of
this years epidemic.
The mine owners of South Russia,
who recently declared that they would
have to suspend operation on account
of flight of the workmen and whose
refusal to undertake contracts for the
delivery of pig iron has embarrassed
the iron industry in Russia, report
that their worknlen are beginning to
return to the mines in considerable
numbers. The proposal to reduce the
duty on pig iron has had a particularly
good effect in squirting on the mine
owners to take measures to combat
the exodus of the workmen.

IN FAVOR OF HOME RULE

Municipalities Convention Adopts Res.
oIution to Support Movement.
st. Paul, Aug. 27.-Home rule was
the keynote of the League of Ameri.
can Municipalities at the morning ses-
sion in the Auditorium. Mayor J.
Barry Mahool of Baltimore started the
discussion with an address, telling
how the city of Baltimore was ham,
pered and oppressed by the legislature
of the state of Maryland. Delegates
generally had the same tale to tell.
Before the discussion closed there was
an unanimous sentiment in favor of
doing something to change the condi-
ton. A resolution recommended by
the committee on resolutions was
adopted later approving home rule and
asking the league to work for it..

Washington, Aug. 27.-A demand
for reparation, estimated at $1,OOO,O0O
is being prepared for presentation to
the interstate commerce commission
by merchants and manufacturers in
the Missouri river territory, who as
sert they have been defrauded by ex-
cessive railroad rates.
The new action is the outgrowth
of the long fight against exorbitant
freight rates, which have been re-
duced by the commission. Having
won the original contention the ship
pers now propose to pursue the issue
to the limit.
The fight was carried before the
commission two years ago, when
wholesale dry goods merchants of
Kansas City complained that they
were Disseminated against in favor of
the merchants of Minneapolis and st.
Paul on goods shipped from Atlantic
coast points.
The outcome was a decision by the
commission ordering a reduction.
The case was carried to the United
States supreme court and the inter-
state commerce commission was sus-
tanned. The commission having held
the old rates to be too high the men
who paid them will endeavor to in

President Will Then Grant Pardon to

Chicago, Aug. 27.-A special from

ton Of recommending clemency. -,

ut looks like Roosevelt expected to
be candidate in 1912. Some of his
enthusiastic friends have been talking
about him, but there was nothing to
support their prophesies until conf
Dental friends, who visited him after
the turn down for chairman, an
nounced that he will be candidate
only if it is necessary to do so in or
