President Diaz gave Jose Santos
Zelaya little friendly advice in re-
gard to talking to newspaper rep
resentatives and whispered In his
ear that 1t would be wise for him
to refrain from too freely express
ing his opinions was admitted by
Zelaya's secretary, when he returned
card to newspaper man with the
remark that the ex-dictator of Mica
ragua had just adopted a policy of
refusing to be interviewed and would
have nothing more to say for publ
cation for period of six days. Just
why six days was named he would
not explain.
Zelaya called on the Chief Exec
utive of Mexico. Up to that time
he received every newspaper man
who called at the hotel. After the
meeting it was as If a very wide gulf
had opened between him and the
and local representa-
tives., In refusing to see one re2or-
ter, Zelaya, through his secretary,
told him that he wished to avoid
being the means of bringing Mexico
into the controversy in any way and
that if he (Zelaya) further discussed
matters his statements might be mis-
construed with such result.
Zelaya's visit to the National Pal
ace lasted half hour. He was re-
ceived by President Diaz in the green
room. The introduction was made
by Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Gar
cha Cuellar, one of the aides of Pres
ident Diaz, and not by the official
introducer of ambassadors. Hence
the meeting was devoid of official
character and Zelaya was received
as a private citizen.
The titular President was accom-
panied to the palace by Francisco
Castro, the Nicaraguan minister in
this capital, and Roberto Bone, a
son-in-law, and formerly jefe poll
tico of Grenada.
Zelaya and Diaz chatted for sew
eral minutes and then Colonel Cuel-
Ter withdrew. 1t is believed that
after Zelaya tesdered his thanks for
the kindness of President Diaz in al
lowing him asylum on the Mexican
gunboat, affairs in general in Gem
trail America were discussed at some
length.
To a friend the Nicaraguan Wis
itor said that after he had been in
Mexico for two or three months he
would go to Belgium and at Brus-
sells personally superintend the edu-
cation of his children. When he was
receiving his earlier education, Ze-1
laya spent much of his time in Bel
GUM, where he attended school. His
parents were people of wealth in
Nicaragua, and their son was edu-
Gated in Belgium and France. 1t
was in France that Zelaya acquired
his fluent command of the French
language and there also he learned
English.

BREAK PLEDGES
AT MOOSE MEET
G. G. Wenger Says Tri- Cities
Were Cast Aside at the
Eleventh Hour.
DETROIT IN UNIQUE PLEA
Convention of 1911 Is Sent There
to Destroy Prestige of a Rival
Organization in Michigan.

The tri-city delegates who attended
the national convention of the Loyal
Order of Moose, held at Baltimore last
week, are beginning to arrive home.
G. c. Wenger of the Rock Island lodge
returned yesterday afternoon
From the time we reached Balti-
more till almost the time to vote upon
the question it looked as though the
tri-cities would win the 1911 conven-
ton in a walk" Mr.. Wenger said
Most of the delegations had been won
over to the local side, and till Wednes-
day evening matters were fine for our
chances. But Thursday morning. when
the matter came up before the con-
vention, Detroit put forth a strong ar
gument which really won for that city
the convention for 1911. At present
there is a fight in the Michigan courts,
in which the Social Order of Moose is
seeking to restrain the Loyal Order of
Moose from securing further member
ship in Michigan With the exception
of one city in Indiana. this is the only
place in the country where such condi-
lions exist.
Pennsylvania Deserts.
Detroit delegates pointed out that
it would be beneficial to the society to
have the next convention there, in or
der to boost the order and win the
fight over the Social Order of Moose,
which is, according to report, an in
ferior organization. The Pennsylvania
delegations, for the most part. changed
to Detroits side, after they had prom
ised to support the tri-cities. Some
delegations were divided when the
time came for the vote, and some of
them supported Rock Island, while
others voted for Detroit.
THE poor entertainment extended
to the Elks' convention at Detroit this
summer caused many delegations to
cast their votes for us. But the fact
that there was fight on in Michigan
was really the thing which defeated us,
after we had counted that the conven-
ton was ours.
VIII Not Make Another Fight.
when they offered US the conven-
ton for 1912, we told them we did not
want It and we will not spend a cent
to win it. We were treated royalty in
Baltimore and would have to go some
to treat the 1911 convention in the
same way. There were 700 voting del
egates present, and although the repre-
sentation for next year has been re-
duced by one-half, we expect that there
will be as many delegates in attend
ance, as the order is growing at a
rapid rate.
