FROM PALACE TO Aims
HOUSE is W0MAN'S FATE
Wife of Former President of Guate-
maIa Is Without Means to
Earn Livelihood

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3.-F'rom a
palace where she presided as first lady
of the land to an almshouse-such is
the fate which has overtaken Sonora
Alagera Barrios, wife of a former pres
ident Of Guatemala.
With an almost complete impairment
of her vision, penniless and without
means to earn a livelihood, Sonora Bar
rios knocked for admittance at the
Teuro Shakespeare almshouse here
New Years day. Her husband, Jose
Maria Reno Barrios, was assassinated
a short time after his accession to the
presidency. Then Sonora Barrios went
to Europe, where she remained for some
time.
The fortune which she inherited from
her husband was dissipated through
mismanagement of those in charge of
it, she asserts.
For several months she has lived OBJ
scurely in New Orleans.
At the office of the Guatemalan con-
sui here it was declared if the wife of
the former president would return to
Guatemala to live she would receive a
pension from that government equal to
the salary paid her husband. This, it
was asserted, she had refused to do.
1T was stated that $50 a month was
paid her for long time by the local
consulate under instructions from the
president of Guatemala. The Guate-
malan government is bearing the eX-
pense of the education of Consuelo,
daughter of Barrios, in London.
Madam Barrios is an American, born
in Virginia, and before her marriage
was Miss Algeria Benton. She married
Gen. Barrios when she was IA years old.

coVerer's Find
TAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. civilian j..
Cook, brother Of DR.. Frederick A. Cook,
announced today that Mrs. Cook had
Joined her husband and that he was in
communication with them. Mrs Cook
IS asserted to have the explorers orig
inal records Of his north pole quest
I'm her possession.
DIR. Cook has by no means aban-
doned his intention to prove conclu-
sively, despite the verdict of the Co
penhagen university, that he reached
the north pole" said his brother, "and
his detractors will have a pretty bill
to pay.
''The talk that Mrs. Cook is es-
tranged from the doctor and that she
contemplates a suit for separation
with large alimony is unwarranted
Mrs. Cook is standing by her husband
and will continue to do so. Just now
she is of immeasureable comfort to
him and together they are planning
and working for the future.
"I have positive information that Dr.
Cook and his wife will publicly appear
together and that then there will be a
great change in feeling. 1t may be
only a few weeks and it may be
months before they appear publicly
again. That all depends on how long
it requires DR.. Cook to fully substan-
1iate his claims"
Mr. Cook declined to say whether
DR.. and Mrs. Cook were in this coun-
try or abroad.

MAYOR GAYNOR
IS FACETIOUS
Next Week Chief Executive of Greater
New York Must Decide on
Question of Wet or
Dry City
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The quips of
Mayor Gaynor continue to enliven New
York
Today he sent the following letter to
William G. Edwards, commissioner of
street cleaning, better remembered as
Big Bill' Edwards of Princeton foot
ball fame:
My Dear Commissioner: Take on a
few more football players, and maybe
you will do better yet. Sincerely
yours, WILLIAM GAYNOR"
The statement given out yesterday by
Mayor Gaynor seemed to indicate that
Edwards would be removed to make
way for new commissioner of the
mayors own choosing. Therefore, "Big
Bill'' had no comment to make today
on the mayors praise.
Besides Edwards, there are the fol-
lowing football stars in the street
cleaning department: John j. Hogan,
an old Yale captain; Harry Slaughan,
the Yale end, and George Buckwalter
of Princeton.
Next week will test the new mayor
quality with regard to one of the most
important questions of policy a mayor
must decide. Is this to be a wide
open" or a "closed' town? Are Sun
days to be dry or "wet?"
There were plenty of questioners to
ask the mayor, 'How about it?" this
afternoon, but to all inquiries he
begged to be excused from any eX-
pressiop of opinion until he had time
to make what changes in the police
department he intends. William f.
Baker is still commissioner of police,
but the mayors statement of last
night indicates a new man will be
given the position.
Herman Ridder, publisher of the
Stats Zeitung, has declined to be
commissioner of parks of Manhattan
and the borough of Richmond. Mayor
Gaynor, in accepting his regrets, said:
"Mr. Herman Ridder informed me
this morning he could not accept, on
account of his being a newspaper pro-
prietor and president of the News
paper Publishers association. re-
gret to lose him, but recognize the
propriety and delicacy of his position"

ZELAYAs WIFE REMAINS IN
NICARAGUA'S CAPITAL CITY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The wife Of
former President Zelaya remains in
Managua, according to advices to the
state department from Vice Consul
Caldera. The fact that she has not
Joined her husband has given rise to
some suspicion of intrigue respecting
Zelaya. and it is more than probable
her movements will be observed care
fully.
Other kilograms from Vice Consul
Caldera state that General Toledo has
been appointed commander in chief of
the San Juan river division of the
Madriz forces, and that General Bas-
tuez has been reappointed comman-
der in chief of the Juarez division and
that he will proceed to the front at
once, Estrada presumably is pushing
his proposition for an early advance
either on GreytoWn or Managua.

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, Jan, g.
Gen. Estradas campaign into the west
en half of Nicaragua has been begun.
The entire provisional army which won
the victory at Recreo is being tran
sported in boats up the Mico river TO
Chile, which will replace Rama as the
base of supplies.
A decisive battle may be fought at
Acoyapo.
The movement west was begun
quietly. The advance guard under Gen.
Mena has been for some days at Chile.
Chile is a center for cattle raising ana
that district is expected to relieve Blue
fields to a great extent in the matter
of sustaining the troops
Acoyapo, where it is thought battle
may be fought unless pending peace
plans fail, is sixty miles from Chile.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.--While no Of
fetal information had been received late
tonight concerning the forward move
ment of the Nicaraguan revolutionary
army, the news, when conveyed to the
Central American diplomats here, was
received with great interest.
Says Move Master Stroke
The present move of Estrada is recog-
nlZed mere Dy tnOSe VINO hIloW lllG
country as a master stroke.
THE advance up the Mico river to
Chile is undoubtedly partly feint,
said a diplomat. I'VE have every rea-.
son to believe a strong force has been
sert around to Greytown to wipe out
the government force there, which prac-
tically has been besieged for some
months. When Greytown is taken. as
we believe it will be, the San Juan
river will be opened to Lake Nicaragua.
and the two branches of the Estrada
army will then join forces on Lake
Nicaragua. Boats that transport the
troops on the Mico river and those that
will bring up the troops from Grey
town will then be Joined in a fotilla
that will proceed to Managua.
In the opinion of NicaraguapS here
President Madriz has only a ragged
force left and that is dispirited by the
flight of Zelaya. Estrada's troops, on
the other hand, have been rested after
their fight at Rama, and are eager to
press their success home. For this
reason, Senior Castrillo, representative
here of the provisional government, be-
lieVes the coming conflict will clear the
way to a direct attack on the capital"

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-John d. Rock
efeller, jr., today was sworn in as fore
man of a grand jury, the special mis-
sion of which will be an investiga-
tion of the so-called white slave"
traffic. He will meet with the special
grand jury each week during the
month, or until the body is ready to
make its report to the court.
Judge O'Sullivan in his address to
the grand jury directed that the white
slave traffic be thoroughly investl-
gated.
1T is not enough that we should
await federal action or seek new legis-
lation," he said. The existing law is
adequate to punish specific offenders
If you find that active agents in the
commission of any of these offenses
have been acting under the direction
of others or others have directly or in
directly procured the commission of
any offense, such persons are equally
guilty as the active participants. And
the fact that such other persons are
not or were not at the time within the
state of New York does not deprive you
