GUN-LADEN VESSEL
OVERDUE AT PORTS
No TidingS Have Been Re-
ceived From the Venus,
Bound for NICARAGUA

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 9.-What
has become Of the steamship Venus :?
That question is one apparently without
answer and is exciting intense interest
of the Central American colony in New
Orleans. The Venus, loaded with arms
and ammunition. and according to allie
cations of the insurgent faction here,
carrying several large guns, which were
TO be mounted on the vessel, sailed from
this city May l, destined for GTeytown,
Nicaragua, so its manifest said.
Later ii was asserted that the vesseI
put into either a Mexican or Honduran
port. changed it's register, and, flying the
Nicaraguan flag, proceeded in support of
the Madriz government to Bluefields. If
the Venus did put into a port to change
its register, the name of that port is not
definitely known. From New Orleans to
Bluefields is a trip ordinarily of five
days.
With eight days having elapsed since
the departure of the vessel from this
port, the question of its whereabouts is
a matter of some degree of mystery.
1t has been reported that the Venus with
cannon mounted was about to attack
ioluefelds i'm conjunction with the move
ment of an armed land force from the
Madriz government upon that city

During the last trip abroad made by
his father. King George, then prince of
Wales, had to take on his shoulders
some of the kingly duties. The result
startled England.
The new king previously had been
best known for the things he didn't do.
Even the most loyal supporters of the
royal family did not take him serious
ly. Good-hearted, quiet, reserved, I'M
energetic, perhaps a little negative
this was the general estimate.
But when Prince George took the
tiller. he forced his critics to admit
they had underestimated him. He
showed evidences of careful study OF
European and colonial conditions, he
was widely read on every subject. He
made speeches that were clear, straight
forward, Illuminating and forceful. He
showed himself one of the best inform
ed men in England on naval affairs.
Previously an extraordinary igno-
rance prevailed, even in England, about
the future ruler. He wasn't the strik-
ing, snowy personality that his father

THIRD MAN admits
ACCEPTING MONEY
Link, Like White and BeCke-
Meyer, Confess Bribery in
Senatorial Election


CHICAGO, May 7.-"If they must paint
the state of Illinois black. by - I'll help
them make it blacker than any state in
the union, so help me -
Floating through the open transom of a
witness room today the words quoted
seemed to tell OF a desperate frame OF
mind amongst some of the men most in
terested in the grand investigation of
bribery charges against Illinois legisla-
tors.
States Attorney wayman's immunity
bath accepted another refugee today in
the person of Michael S. Link. Democrat
&c representative from Mitchell, while the
prosecutors array OF testimony received
another confession, almost identical with
that of the two first "squealers." Repre-
sentatives Beckemeyer and White.
LINK SUCCUMBS.
A night in the custody of a detective
with an indictment for perjury against
him proved to much for Link. Today he
went before the jury and changed his tes-
timony and the charge of perjury against
him was quashed by the states attorney.
Link, like White and Beckemeyer, is said
by Mr.. Wayman to have admitted TAX
ing 1900 to cast his vote for William
Lorimer for United States senator and
to have received $500 as his share of the
Jackpot split up at St. Louis. The
addition of Link to the list Of prosecut-
ing witnesses gives the state three men
who are expected 10 testify to the same
story.
Mr.. wayman and his aides are jubilant
over the success of the probe so far, and
Il is not too much to say they anticipate
a stampede of. witnesses which will I'M
cover hitherto undreamed of scandals in
the Illinois assembly.

mination to deal leniently with the

HOKE SMITH NOT READY
TO ANSWER COBB VOTERS
Rumors About the Capitol Said
He Would Enter the Field
for Governor

Persistent rumors were in circulation
In Atlanta. Monday that former Gov.
Hoke Smith would make an answer dur
ing the day to the Cobb county delegation
which recently called at his home and
requested that he become a candidate
for governor.
These rumors were not only numerous,
but declared that the answer of the for
mer governor would be in the affirmative
Mr.. Smith when asked by The Journal
for confirmation or denial of the re-
ports, said he had been very busy in
the courts, and had not had a moment 3
time to consider the request of the Cobb
county delegation, but would make an
answer after due elaboration.
Mr.. Smith was engaged all of Monday
in an argument in the court and will be
similarly engaged during most of the
present week, therefore, IL is not believed
that he will make his final answer to the
Cobb county delegation before some time
next week, If then.

was a tremendous movement, which fol-
lowed a few minor shocks during the
day 1t occurred at o'clock Wednesday
evening. No one had time to run out OF
the houses, which fell crashing to the
streets. Had the great shock come dur
ing the sleeping hours hardly any could
have escaped. The railroad and telegraph
lines were broken and electric light wires
fell, leaving the city in darkness
ALL HOUSES DESTROYED.
Thousands ran, panic-stricken, in all di-
rections, in an effort to save themselves.
Every house was totally destroyed, in
GLIDING four churches and the palace of
the American peace court, the gift of An
drew Carnegie. Some Americans are re-
ported to have been killed, but identified
ton, even by the records, is at present
impossible. The foreign colonies set about
at once to organize rescue movements
and worked strenuously to save those
who were pinped down by the wreckage.
1t was not until the following day that
San Jose learned of the disaster and no
assistance from this source was forth
coming for many hours.
No medical aid could be obtained and
the survivors suffered from lack of food
and water. Many of the wou..Ged died,
suffering terribly Entire fami1Ss have
been wiped out. Rafael Angel T-oyo,
the Costa Rican poet, whose works are
known in MANY countries, is among the
dead. The college of the Silesian priests
fell while the priests and children were
at prayer. The priests and ten chill
dren were killed.
ROAR FOLLOWS QUAKE
The earthquake which brought almost
total warkness and great clouds of dust
from the falling buildings was followed
by a roaring which came apparently
from deep down in the earth, and for
six hours the disturbance continued. No
more formidable disaster has occurred in
the history of Costa Rica, and perhaps
in all Central America.
President Gonzales Viquiez and Presi-,
dent-elect Ricardo Jiminez are person.
ally in charge of the rescue work, but
there is little hope that those under the
ruins can escape. The buildings have
been leveled and doubtless those beneath
them have been suffocated.
Some days must elapse before the real
situation can be determined. The none
tary losses reach into the millions.

Mrs. Elizabeth Barber. of Harwinton, returned recently from visit with friends over the holidays in Waterbury and Ansonia and found that water and frost had raised havoc in her house which was closed during her absence.
 For fear the weather might turn cold and everything freeze up during the two weeks or more she would be away, she left the water running from the fau- cet. The water pipe did not freeze, but the drain pipe did, and the result was something wonderful in the way of ice formation. From the sink 8 solid sheet of ice extended down to the floor of the kitchen which was covered from three to six inches deep with solid ice. Every door was burst open and the floor of the sitting room was sheet of ice.

Tons of Pins.

Nothing better shows the bigness of little things than the manufacture of pins. In England there are made each week between fifteen and sixteen tons of the small necessaries, the materials being iron, steel and brass. The year ly production would amount to about 190 tons. The number of pins includ- ed in this great weight would make any ordinary figures seem insignificant would, in fact, defy realization or comprehension. Germany also makes great quantities of pins, her produc- tion totaling about IA tons a year. The United States makes great quan- titles of pins and imports many from England. Most of the latter country's output is manufactured in Birming- ham by two firms, one of which has been in existence nearly a century and the other over a century.-Philadelphia North American.
