partment is confident that the prisoner
will be protected.
DR.. Luis COrea, representative in Wash
1ngton of the Madriz government of Mica
ragua, has received a dispatch from PresR-
dent Madriz to the effect that the govern
ment forces at both Bluefields and Rama
retired upon orders from Madriz and re-
concentrated elsewhere. DIR. Corea ex-
pressed doubts of the reports that the re-
treat Of the government troops from these
places was in fact 2 flight from the in
surgents.
Pittman Was Reckless.
Advices from Bluefields show that it was
the recklessness of Pittman that resulted
in his capture. He had exploded a mine
under three or four hundred charging
Madriz soldiers the morning of May
o. following the attack Gems. Lara and
Gudoy directed against the Estrada
trenches.
The charging Madriz troops were halted
by death that broke out under their feet
Plttman, believing that another charge
would be directed after the enemy re-
covered, remained in his earth pit to
operate switches connected with the
mines. There was no further charge, but
Lara sent band Of men around the hill
from which Pittman was operating his
electric switch. and before he realized his
danger he had been captured and packed
off to Lara's camp, where he was kept a
prisoner throughout the subsequent fight
ing around Bluefields. Madriz's soldiers
we're bitter against Pittman and at first
1t was feared they would take summary
vengeance.
Thomas w Pittman, a former police
magistrate of New York, is second
cousin of William P. Pittman. He said
that the man captured in Nicaragua was
formerly Spectator In Boston, is about
forty years old and is a nephew Of the
late Judge Robert Pittman Of the Mas
sachusetts superior court, the author Of

and offered his services to Estrada. He
was accepted and a commission OF col
onel in the signal corps was conferred on
him. When it became known that Ma
driz was to storm Bluefields Pittman laid
the mines around the decoy Notifications
1t was the explosion of the first mine
that wrecked Madriz's forces.

only way to save Pittman from long
term Of Imprisonment will be by ex-
change of prisoners. Estrada has

CHARGES A BOYCOTT
Complaint Of Broker Against

LOST CUSTOMERS, HE SAYS
Declares He Was Punished for In
dependence in Selling.
so NOTIFIED BY J0BBERS
Testifies Before Moore Committee
Investigating Food Problem
In the District.
LOST CUSTOMERS, HE SAYS
30 NOTIFIED BY JoBBERs

Joseph +. Webbsr, commercial broker
Of this city who represents tea, fruit and
canned goods houses, told the Moore spe-
cial committee which IS investigating the
food problem In the District of Columbia
that he had been hoyeotted by the Whole
sale Grocers' Association of Washington.
The explanation OF this. he said. was
that he had sold goods to anybody with
the price. end not merely to those whole
sale dealers who stood well with the
Wholesale Grocers' Association. Mr..
Weber said that he had lost some Of his
wholesale customers because he had sold
to retail dealers. and that some Of the
retailers had been forced to stop buying
from him.
Boycotted for Independence.
DO you mean to say asked Chair
man Moore, that because you sold to
retailers some of the wholesalers refused
to deal with you aud that you We're boy
cotted for your independent selling?'
Il have every reason to believe so" Mr.
Weber replied.
Certain dealers belonging to what Mr.
Webber called the combination of job
bers in Washington had told him, he
said today, that the loss Of their trade
by him was due to his refusal to accept
the dictation of the wholesale grocers.
He added that the Washington represent
alive of the association of fruit growers
had refused to admit him to membership
in that asSocia ton.
Mr.. Weber Endorsed the Moore bill re-
curing the labelling Of all packages Of
food products.
Labels on Drug Packages.
George l.. Douglas of Chicago, attorney
for the Proprietary Association Of
America, appeared in opposition to the
bill, which also applies to packages Of
drugs. He was inclined to think that
certain Industries needed regulation and
that the labelling law might help the con-
sumner of larger packages. But he
thought there was a proper line Of de-
marcation.
ut is not right he said, ito pass
dragnet legislation that will impose hard
ships upon those manufacturers who are
Obeying the law, and whose products are
bought for what they are and not because
of a certain quantity or number
Mr.. Douglas added that, in his opin-
ion, there is no demand for such sweep
ing legislation as Is proposed in this bill
Go into any drug store and you will find
thousands of articles on which labels as
TO the exact number or quantity of the
contents are unnecessary. When a man
buys bottle of pickles he has no par
ticular desire to know just how many
pickles are in the bottle

URGES PROBATION PLAN
MR.. PARKER CALLS UP BILL
IN HOUSE.
His Efforts to Secure Consideration
of Measure Defeated by Mr..
Tawney.

This being unanimous consent Monday
in the House, Chairman Parker of the
judiciary committee made an attempt to
secure consideration of the bill which
has passed the Senate providing for the
establishment of probation and parole
system for the District of Columbia. An
objection by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota frustrated this effort and sent
the bill back to the regular calendar.
Mr.. Parker explained that the bill
as amended by the Senate provides
for the appointment by the Supreme
Court Of the District of one probation
officer, and by the Police Court of the
District Of one probation officer and
an assistant, and as many volunteer
assistant probation officers. male or
the supervision and direction of the
courts making the appointment.
Mr.. Parker's Views.
After giving in detail the various
provisions Of the measure Mr.. Parker
said:
''It may be stated that there is now in
vogue in the District of Columbia a SIM
liar system of probation applicable to
juvenile offenders, and much good has
been accomplished thereby. while We
ought not to lose sight Of the main pur-
pose, namely, to safeguard the interest
of the community by deterring others
from the commission of crime, yet the
reformation of the individual is not a
mere incident thereto. but should be en-
couraged when it can be done consistent
ly and without impairing the main pur-
pose of the law.
1.-The principle underlying a probation
system is found in the laws of many
of the states, where it is permissible to
suspend sentence, permitting the defend
ant to go at large, but to be subject to
rearrest and punishment if he should
violate the order of the court in that
respect. Under the present laws of the
District of Columbia this is not permits
sible.''

and ways OF saving money on unnecessary
expenses which can be used TO good ad-
vantage in our meet this season." he re-
marked.
The meet Is being started much earlier
than last year. the organization not being
got together until February IN 1910 and
a much more extensive production can be
made Tor 1911 The plan of having many
more teams and a smaller number OF
athletes from the different clubs and
schools appeals to many OF the men back
ing the event. as It makes It an affair OF
larger scope.
