GOVERNMENT
ARMY RETREATS
Rebels at BIuefIeldS Defeats
Madriz'S Forces.
SEVERAL HUNDRED KILLED
General Lara's Soldiers Driven From
the East Coast Of Niearasua--united
States Marines at Scene.

Washington, June 2.-The dispatch
received at the state department from
Captain Gilmer. commanding the Pa
ducah, at Bluehelds. Is the only infor-
nation received by the government OF
the recent engagement there. This
dispatch. which was dated Wednesday,
stated that General Lara had been de-
feated by the Estrada forces and was
in full retreat with the remnant OF hts
army numbering about 900 men.
All their efforts met with failure.
and General Estrada's forces succeed
ed in killing several hundred OF Gen.
eral Lara's soldiers. besides captur-
ing over 200 OF the government troops.
II was reported by deserters from
General Lara's forces who came into
Bluefclds and surrendered to the In
surgents, and also by the soldiers cap
tured by the Estrada forces. that the
governments soldiers were In a starv-
Ing condition.
With the exception of these 800
men, the only forces that Madriz has
on the east coast. as understood here.
is a detachment on Bluefelds blum.
about six miles east OF Bluefields City.
and force estimated at not exceeding
1000 men facing General Mena. the
Estrada commander. at Rama. II Is
pointed out that General Estrada, with
his victorious army could. without him
drance. proceed 10 Rama. and so join
Ing forces with General Mena. readily
dispense the Madriz army In front Of
that city.
The only feasible means OF commu-
nication between Bluefelds and Rama
is by way OF the Escondido river. and
II Is understood that the banana YES.
sells on the river are available for the
transportation of the Estrada army
to that point. II Is also conjectured
that General Lara's course OF retreat
will probably be down the coast to
Monkey Point. where he and his men
might avoid capture by boarding the
Venus. but in any event II Is believed
here that the evacuation of the east
coast Is the only alternative open TO
Madriz to avoid the destruction of his
armies.
Captain Gilmer has advised the navy
department that the Dubuque. which
landed a force of marines at Blue.
fields from Colon. has returned to
Colon for coal and provisions. The
department has directed that the
vicksburg proceed to Corinto. on The
west coast OF Nicaragua. and there re.

DEATH OF MULE CAUSES
 BRIEF RUN ON BANK

Louisville. Ky, August 1.-The death of mule In South Louisville Monday subjected the South Louisville Savings and Deposit bank, at Fourth and Central avenues. to more than its share of in convenience, and was directly responsible for run on that Institution yesterday that lasted for six or eight hours. From early morning to. noon yesterday the de- positors from all over the southern sec- tion clambered for their money. Dr. w. H. Netherland, president of the bank, announced yesterday when order had been restored in some measure, that $63, ,54O had been drawn out of the bank.
 The stampede of the depositors came about in a most unusual manner
 A few days ago John Colglazier pur- chased mule. MT. Colglazer gave his check for SIS in payment, and when the mule died suddenly he stopped payment on the check at the South Louisville bank.
 MT. Co1glaziers action. of course, pre- vented the officers of the bank from hon. bring the check, and consequently when 1t was presented for payment 1t was turned down. The holder of the check, according to Er. Netherland, casually re- marked at the general store and black smith shop in the vicinity that the bank was not equal to it's obligations. The ru- nor spread like wildfire and yesterday when the bank opened large crowd all depositors. had collected. All wish ing their money were paid promptly, as the bank has ample resources.

WHY CARRIAGE MAKERS
 WILL ADVANCE PRICES

Louisville, Ky, August 1.-The great demand for competent workmen of cer- tain classes by the automobile factories in the country and the steep advance in the prices of materials used in the construction of carriages, are two of the reasons assigned by the delegates to the annual meeting of the Carriage Manu- facturers' Association of North Amer lea for the proposed advance in the price. of carriages and light vehicles. Leather, lumber. rubber and steel are material used in the manufacture of carriages.
 The delegates refused to divulge the cx- act increase in the price of carriages which they propose. Their meetings are being held behind closed doors here.

The Big Chief Bluecoat or DIT mingbam is a fine demonstration of the fact that perseverance can usually ge the thing earnestly desired.
 When Gorge Henry Bodeker was barefoot country boy blowing mule on his fathers farm near Augusta Ga. he had burning ambition to be detective, a police officer.
 He lived to hear himself styled as one of the best in the south. But he was not satisfied with this. He want ad to 20 on up to the highest posi- tion on the force He wanted to be chief. This has been douoly grau- fled. But he is still ambitious. He wants to be the best chief or police in the country
 Take my word for 1t. he will D what he wants to be if he makes no mistake of the head. His heart Is right.
 He is making an aggressive cam paign in the Birmingham police de- partment to reduce the number or ar rests. What? Is 1t not the duty oi policemen to make arrests'
 An applicant for position on the nolice force brought as his recon mendation a long list of arrests ana fines that had been turned into the city treasury through his energy
 "I do not want that sort of man, said Chief Bodeker. T want the man who can keep peace on his beat with
 of arragtS T. does no man any good to arrest him Of course we want all criminals pu' there are hundreds of men arrested every year on trivial matters where a word of caution-a little diplomacy --on the part of the officer would have done far more good in correcting the unintentional criminal and preserving the neace and safety of the peolpe.'
 Chief Bodeker was born of German narents in Richmond, Va, May 26, 1865 the last year of the war between the states. The elder BodelSer served In inc Confederate army. The war left the Bodekers in comparative poverty.
 When George was years, of age inc family removed to Augusta, Ga.' and settled on farm eight miles from town that belonged to Tn omas G. Bar rett father of E. W. Barrett, iiow Of Birmingham.
 For 10 years the embryo policeman toiled in the fields with occasional at tendance on the district schools. Al IT he entered a machine shop at Au- gusta as apprentice. He received oo cents a day for his work. At the end of the first six months his pay was increased to 75 cents per day.
 After year he decided this was too slow and the future too uncertain and he went to New York. Here he went up against a snag. Being un- able to make connection with any sort of job hc continued his Journey to Lowell. Mass, where he found em- ployment in a machine shop.
 After working for two years in vari- ous cities in the east he returned to Augusta. where his father had opened merchant tailoring establishment. His first opportunity here to con meet with a pay envelope that looked lattractive was as cigar salesman on the road. He was only biding his time and waiting for an opportunity to get on the police force or get into the detective business. He had never wavered from his early ambitions in this respect but believed that some sort of political pull was necessary before he could land the coveted job. After he had been on the road fol "a short time he was offered place
