buggy was added to the wrecked bug
gy and automobile that are exhibits
in the trial of Edward T. Rosenheimer
for killing Grace Hough by driving
his automobile into the buggy in
which she was riding
BY means OF the new buggy, the
defense will attempt to show that
the fatal accident on the Pelham road
was caused by George vedder, driving
for Miss Hough and her companion,
Miss McCabe, turning the buggy into
the path OF the automobile This is
the defense's chief contention. and
Rosenheimer's lawyers were hopeful
Of showing by the condition Of the

MARTIAL LAW
In HONDURAS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Nov. S-with the
almost certain prospect Of interfer-
ence by the United States TO dislodge
General valladares from Amapala,
where he has fortified himself, martial
law was proclaimed throughout Hon
duras to-day. according TO dispatches
received at the State Department.
valladares. having been officially re-
moved from Office. is now classed as
an outlaw. and his seizure OF Amapala
Is declared 10 be in open defiance of
law. On this ground. Il Is asserted.
the United States will be justified In
forcibly eiecting him from his strong
hold
This government will wait, however,
until Honduras has proved its inabil-
ity TO force Valladares to surrender
Amapala is on an island and Val
ladares has practically all the Hon.
duran boats. He has about 600 men.
who are said to be well armed. Forl
this reason, Il is considered unlikely
that Honduras can successfully attack
him
If the gunboat Princeton attempted
TO attack. the city by sending marines
ashore, there undoubtedly would be
heavy loss Of life. IL is believed, how
ever, that a few shells of the Prince
toms cannons would compel Val
ladares 70 hoist the white flag.
Il is believed here that former
President Bonilla has taken advantage
Of Valladares' revolt and started a
renewed movement toward general in
surrection. The proclamation of
martial law. Il. Is feared, will only
serve 10 make the situation worse
Commander Hayes Of the gunboat
Princeton notified the State Depart
ment this afternoon that Valladares
had issued a statement announcing
that he had no intention Of endanger-
ing foreign interests.
The statement was addressed to the
consular officers of the various ma
tione. but Hayes said that the consuls
placed no faith in it.

loter rights on a stream that flowed
Through the property of the railroad

off the use of water by the coal com
pany.
