STATUS OF MADRIE.
Central America Should Not Give Him
Support.

The situation in Nicaragua presents
some diplomatic n~iceties in relation to
the propriety Of recognizing the gov
eminent of Madriz by the Central
American states. In the opinion of
officials of h Washington depart
ment of state President Madriz should
receive nc recognition on the part Of
the Central American republics be-
yond that which would be accorded to
a leader of q faction.
Because of the close relations main
tanned by Zelaya with Honduras it Is
expected that that government may
be foremost in doing anything that
will tend to strengthen the authority
OF Madriz, but there would be great
surprise should such action be taken
by Mexico without a previous under
standing with the United States.
1t Is pointed out in Washington that
as the United States Is the only gov
eminent hat has broken off official
relations with Nicaragua there would
be no occasion for special recognition
on the part OF the Central American
republics were Madriz elected presi-
dent under ordinary conditions, as
diplomatic relations with the nation
would be continued as usual.
But in view OF he statement that
Madriz merely headed one Of two fac
tions and was elected by what has
been declared to be a packed con-
gress." conditions should be stable be-
fore support Is given him in the form
Of any recognition as president of the
republic by other Central American
governments.
The Nicaraguan congress conferred
authority upon the executive to abol-
ish the tobacco and alcohol monopo-
lies M ~indemnifying private stock
holders for the loss OF their holdings,
which now become the property of the
state.

RAY LAMPHERE DIES,
PLEADING INNOCENCE
Alleged Accomplish of Mrs. Belle
Guinness, Archmurderess, Sue
cumbs to Consumption.
HIRED HAND ON MURDER FARM
Passes Away Without Making Con
fession Hoped for by Indiana
Authorities.

Ray Lamphere, who was charged
with the murder of Mrs. Belle Gun
ness and subsequently convicted OF ar
son in connection with the burning OF
the home on her murder farm, neal
| Laporte. died at the State penitentiary
in Michigan City. Ind, of tuberculo,
sis.
The man, suspected of assisting the
supposed arch-murderess in Staying
the ten victims whose bodies were
found buried about the farm after her
disappearance in April, 1908, made no
statement to the prison officials.
In the past few weeks States Attor-
ney Ralph Smith, who prosecuted
Lamphere, and officials of the peniten-
tiary have sought to obtain from the
prisoner a statement. To all ques-
lions, however, Lamphere has stead
fastly replied hat he knew nothing
which might throw further light on
the wholesale murders.
Lamphere was So years old, and for
three years prior to the disappearance
of Mrs. Guinness Il her three chill
dren had been employed as a field
hand at the murder farm"
The crimes, ruthlessly Dremeditated
and d~iabOlical1y executed, rivaled the
famous Holmes Castle murders in Chi
cago and the Bender murders in Kan
sas. Whether Mrs. Guinness was a par
ty to these crimes, and whether she
escaped or was burned to death in her
house in April, 1908, never has been
satisfactorily explained. She former
ly lived in Chicago and went to La
porte after her first husband had died
under circumstances said to have been
suspicious.
After establishing herself on the
farm, just outside Laporte, the woman
is said to have been Il frequent CORE
spOndent with matrimonial agencies in
various parts of the country. She
thus formed the acquaintance of a
number of men. At least six Of them
| went to Laporte, all of whom disap-
peared. Later, when the yard back
Of the farmhouse was e~Xcavated, the
bodies Of some of these admirers were
identified among the ten which were
found. Lamphere was arrested the
day following the burning of the house
He had been seen in the vicinity OF
he building the night it burned.

MORSE TURNED DOWN.
One Time lee King Is Denied a New
Trial.

Trial.
Only n technical legal shadow now
stands beween Charles w. Morse,
banker and one time ice king, and a
ffteen-year sentence in the federal
prison at Atlanta. Judge Hough in the
United States circuit court in New
York Wednesday, denied his motion
for a new trial, but Martin w. Little
ton, his counsel, announced that one
more stand would be AIKEN. He will
move in the circuit court for a writ Of
error on Judge Hough's decision. If
this is denied Morse will begin the
New Year serving his sentence for vio-
Iation of the national banking laws,
the supreme court of the United States
having previously refused to interfere
in the case.
Mr.. Littleton's recent application for
a new trial for Morse was made on the
ground that the jury was improperly
guarded and that some of the jurors
drank to excess during the trial. With
respect to this charge the court holds
| hat the fact that the jurymen were in
the custody of secret service men In
stead of regular deputy marshals was
well known to both counsel and jurors
when the trial began.
h court also notes that more than
a year has elapsed since Morse was
convicted and sentenced and that the
judgment had been affirmed by the
United States circuit court of appeals
| and a writ of certiorari had been de-
MED by the United States supreme
court.

Strange Prank of River.

A peculiar incident is reported by
Nebraskans who cross the Missouri
river to go to Vermillion. With the
ice from ten to twelve inches thick,
heavy loads were being hauled across
the river, and a good road had been
made. The farmers were surprised
after crossing one evening to find that
the roadbed had dropped out of sight
by the following morning, and tina
from one bank to the other, a distance
of about a quarter of a mile, a regu-
ar canal remained. and either side of
tn eice bed was cut as smooth as
though q saw had beer used.

ZELAYA FLEES HIS COUNTRY.
United States Allows Him to Escape
Upon One Condition.

1t was learned the other day that
former President Jose Zelaya of Mic
aragua has left Corinto on the Next
can gunboat Guerrero for Salina Cruz,
Mexico. Zelaya's departure was very
secret. Only a few of his most loyal
friends Knew that the former dictator
of the country was about to board the
Mexican g%unboat. The ship left with
out being molested by the United
States officials. The United States has
compromised with its original attitude
toward former President Zelaya of
Nicaragua. The news was general the
other day in the departments in Wash
ington that this government had pur-
posely interposed no objection to the
flight of Zelaya from the anger Of his
own people. and that this compromise
was based on the assurance from Mex
leo and Nicaragua that Zelaya would
go into perpetual exile.

FINDS CHILDREN'S BODIES.
Fire Tragedy Costs Two Lives in the
Village of Santa Claus, Ind.

In the village of Santa Claus, Ind.
two children were burned to death the
other night. Their mother found their
blackened little bodies a few minutes
before they died, in a room in which
she had left them playing IN hour be-
fore. The mother, Mrs. Fred Keller,
wife Of a young farmer, went to the
barn to help him milk the cows. A
thought of her girls, 2h and 1h
years old, led her to leave her hus-
band and return to the house. AS she
approached she heard the children
screaming. The rooms were filled
with smoke. Cropping along the floors
she came upon the babies and dragged
them to a door. The children had
played nea the stove.
