.ZELAYA ACCUSES
U. 5. OF TRICKBRY
SAYS WASHINGTON FROM TIE
OUTSET FAVORED REVOLT
TIONISTS.
When Government Army Was March,
ing in Victory Prolonged War
By Insisting ON Truce.
GROCE CANNON AN INCIDENT

Mexico City. Feb In a state
ment given to a personal friend for
publication after his departure from
this city, Jose santos Zelaya, former
president of Nicaragua, who left for
Belgium, made the startling state
ment that he was trlckcd bu the
United States into giving the revolu-
tionists an advantage during the
early stages of the insurrection in
his country. He said:
"Our army had defeated the revo-
lutionists on the San Juan river and
was marching on Bluehelds. The re-
volt would have ended in a week.
when suddenly the United States
asked us to declare truce while
terms of peace could be discussed
The truce was declared. and before
operations were resumed the insur-
gents received a large shipment of
arms and ammunition from the
the battle of Rama, in which the gov
ernment army was defeated. We
were tricked and played like figures
In game of chess by the powerful
influence at Washington until the ad-
vantage was given over TO the other
side, just as Washington had planned.
"The American government is still
determined tha: the insurgents shall
win, that its pretense OF neutrality,
while arms anS men came down on
evern boat from the states. prevents
IT from making an open avowal and
saving the sacrifice of thousands OF
innocent lives"
Zelaya made a specific denial OF
each of the charges made by Secre-
tary Knox in his letter of dismissal
to Charge d'Affaires Rodriguez. and
continued:
Several Central American coun.
tries, notably Guatemala and Saliva
dor, appealed to Washington againsi
my government. and Washington con
sented to lend itself as tool tC
Estrada Cabrera 10 work my down
| fall. for no other reason than that
opposed the desire OF Cabrera to be
come the ruling figure OF all Centra
America"
zelaya declared that the execution
of Groce and Cannon was a 'mer'
incident" THE United States ha'
previously decided that | should h
overth9own," he said.
"Sparing the lives Of Groce an'
Cannon would not have altered IN.
plan OF Washington. The policy o
overthrowing my government wa
planned before Groce and Cannon
had been heard OF as a factor in tn
lsituation."
As parting shot Zelaya predicte'
that in the future Nicaragua woul'
probably be ruled by large American
corporations which seek monopolie
in that country.

PARIS AND HER APAcHEs

Paris, like all cities, has failed to
keep the corners swept clean. She
had nests of vice scattered through
out her environs. where elemental
passions ruled individuals, taken in
TO account by society and the state
only when some overt demonstration
subjected the guilty ones to the
law; and then the percentages of ar
rest assured the evil doers a gamb-
ler's chance of escape. and sharpened
the temptation to risk the law.
The Apaehes are the neighbors of
the quiet, orderly people. who in
habit the better sections of the city.
They are of the same race, same an
cestry and same nature. They are
born into conditions that shape their
lives and under circumstances that
crush everything. except the preda-
tory instincts. The conditions and
circumstances are due to the negli-
gence of those good people. who new
er consider the Apaches but to pun
ish them land when people cultivate
bad neighbors, by permitting candi-
tons to exist, which make bad
neighbors, they usually suffer for IT,,
and their suffering comes at such
times as to be an augmentation of
trouble already almost oveTmaster-
ing.
So, stricken Paris today is suffer-
In hn
to their instincts, the Apaches are
plundering and numbering, and the
police. able to restrain the lawbreak-
ers Under ordinary circumstances
sufficiently TO prevent too conspicu-
Gus activity, are powerless to hide
the fearful shame that lay beneath
the surface of society till now.
ia that European city, the quin-
tessance of continental propriety,
where the shocking impulses of the
American nature, are misunderstood,
l.nch law has been resorted to more
than once In a week, and an infuri-
oled mob fought with the police 20
gain possession of a victim, for
whose dastardly crime they Wou'd
make him forfeit his life. The leaven
OF the Apache has worked through
Paris and the police first find them
selves fighting the criminal and then
fighting the citizenship to protect the
criminal.
1t requires just such calamities as
this. which has visited Paris, to show
us how we wrong ourselves. when
we wrong our neighbors Had the
citizenship of Paris cared enough
for the welfare of the submerged
tenth, to remedy conditions under
which they are born, Paris today
would have no Apaches to add to the
horror of flood and famine.

quantity to be reckoned with even
in politics.
To briefly recall certain facts OF
local and general history; about this
time in 1908 terrific struggle was
being waged in the Republican
party, between what have since be-
come known as the progressives, led
by President Roosevelt, and the re-
actionaries, led by the old party
regime. william II. Taft was the
candidate of the progressives, ana
Vice-President Fairbanks candidate
of the reactionaries. Purely local
issues induced some prominent Ken
tucky politicians to espouse the
cause of Mr.. Fairbanks, and the
chairman of the First district, for
mer Senator Deboe, was one Oh
these. The solid south through the
astuteness Of Mr.. Frank II. Hitch
cock, now postmaster general was
in a fair way to go for Taft in the
convention, and II was necessary Tor
the Fairbanks managers to disprove
this in order to buoy up the cour-
age OF their forces in other sections.
To an outsider the First district OF
Kentucky, looked like an inviting
place to enter the wedge, which
should split the solid south, with a
former United States senator as
chairman of the district, who would
call the convention to order and rule
over the preliminary organization OF
it. So a district convention for the
First was called during the winter,
two months before district conven-
tions were held elsewhere, to choose
two delegates and two alternates to
the national convention.
Suffice 1T TO say. the Taft men,
under the leadership of F. NJ. Fisher,
won in the convention. unseated Mr..
Deboe and sent two delegates to the
national Republican convention,
where they were recognized, while
the state central committee sus-
tained them in their contest over the
district organization.
The First district went for Taft
early enough to be an indication of
the sentiment of the country. in
stead of marking the split the Fair
banks forces were determined TO
make in the southern delegation
and with the knowledge OF this
claim for recognition in his mind Mr..
Fisher went to Washington to fight
for the appointment of his friend
Mr.. Speight.
The opposition encountered was
of no mean quality, but the situation
resolved itself into a compromise oy
which Mr.. Speight secured what he
desired, and the organization, when
carried the First district for Presi'
dent Taft, is the one consulted ii
regard to federal appointments.

Democrats need to concern them

chine can win. The Republicans are
likely TO nominate Judge O'Rear. a

gayly adorned with bouquet and
various other embellishments for the

curtiss Makes the First Aeroplane
Trip Out over the Atlantic
Ocean, Going TWO
Miles.
WAS BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
Made Successful Flight Above tho

Thousands.

ATLANTIC CITY, X. J. July g.
Glenn H. Curtiss made the first aero
plane trip over the Atlantic Ocean
Just before shutdown last night when
ne guided his hirlane in an eight
minute flight along the front
OF the city, going about two
miles to sea at an altitude of about /
mile. The trip extended in length
from the million dollar pier to the In
let and back to the Chelsea limits OF
the resort with final dash to his
starting place. Although the high tide
left starting place In soft sand hard
" yards wide and only twice as
long. the aviator got start that clear.
ed his machine from the breakers IN
front of him and landed with hardly
jar within few feet of the tracks
made as he started.
The successful flight was made i'm.
mediately after the first try of the
day, which nearly ended in disaster
and smashed stay of the flyer after
Curtiss had deftly eluded a breaker
and driven his machine to the beach
after an air eddy dropped him from a
height of 10 yards TO less than 10
feet of the surf.
Cheers from crowd of thousands
that packed the beach greeted both
attempts and concerted yell went
up when the daring man-bird ended
his real oFerthe,ssa tourney.
The flight created a sensation all
over the city when the machine arose
high enough to be seen from main
business and residence avenues. The
air had stilled until the whizzing Elk
plosions of the exhaust could be
heard over the resort, and thousands
rushed into the street and to roofs to
watch the machine pass. There was
never waver in the flight, and
watching experts declared their be-
lief that the much-feared currents of
air over the ocean will not in any way
interfere with flights for altitude and

ST. LOUIS, July 6.-Searching par
ties worked all day yesterday trying
to find the bodies Of Charles Kaiser
and Oscar Bishop of st. Louis, who
were drowned in Big river at Cedar
HILL Jefferson county, Monday morn
ing. Members of the searching parties
stated last night when forced to give
UP the search on account of darkness.
that they will dynamite the river to-
day in the hope of finding the bodies.
Little hope is entertained for their
recovery, as the chances are that they
were carried miles downstream by the
swift current.
The river Is unusually high and the
current very swift. kaher was a
bricklayer Relatives of both men have
gone to Cedar hill to try to recover
the bodies. John Ossenfort, assistant

county, who was an eyewitness to
the drowning, yesterday, told how the
men met death.

said. THEY started across the river
in rowboat, but were using paddles
instead of oars. When they got to
the middle of the stream the current
caught the boat and carried it swiftly
downstream.
Realizing that they were going over
the dam, Bishop, who was poor
swimmer, became excited mad started
padding with the current instead of
against. The boat with the two men

pitched out. Kaiser, WHO could easily
have saved his own life, started
toward Bishop and managed to gel
him and to catch hold of the Loat.
The swift current carried the boa

WHAT DEMOCRATS
EXPECT TO DO.

Chairman.
FLIRT WITH INSURGENTS
1t is Expected That the Convention
viii Try and Gain Some
Help From the Pro-
gressives.
rSpecial TO The Gate city.1

DIES MONIES, Ia. July 6.-Edgar G.
Moon, of Ottumwa or s. II. Bashor of
Waterloo will undoubtedly be perma-
nent chairman of the democratic
state convention to be held in Ottum-
wa July 81. These are the two defeat
ed candidates for the gubernatorial,
nomination and 1t is considered ex-
tremely likely one of the two will be
given the honor. The fact Mr. Moon
lives in Ottumwa is looked upon by
some as reason for his selection
while others believe that as host he
should give way to Mr.. Bashor, who
received second highest vote at the
primary.
Already democrats are discussing
the nature of the resolutions to be
passed by the convention. Because of
the success OF republican standpatters
in nominating most OF the state Off
GERS and congressman in contested
districts at the primary, democrats
are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of
drafting their resolutions SO as to win
favor from the progressives. and
thus seek support for democratic nomi-
ness from that wing OF the republi-
can party. Among other things the
democrats will condemn the Payne
Aldrich bill and also the Postal Saw
ings Bank bill, opposed in the United
States senate by 4. B. Cnmmils and
!. oifs.ses 1'nes ps-flslss
condemn the work of the present ma
tional administration.
1t is not considered likely that
Iowa democrats will take any official
notice of the Ohio quarrel resulting
over the nomination of Governor Har-
mon and his endorsement for presi-
dent. Organism will not be an issue
In Iowa If the democrats can prevent
it. The concensus of opinion here
now seems to be that the liquor cues
/ ton will be entirely ignored in the
platform. 1t is known an effort is be-
| ing made to get democrats to endorse
local option law, but with present
1 prospects democratic leaders here are
1 of the opinion it is judicious to let
/ the liquor and temperance people
fight their own battle outside of par
Ity politics.
