Murder has been written Of as a fine art.
but 1t remained for the United States to
treat II as a sport. In many OF the states
an indictment for murder contains nearly

This isn't as idiotic as It looks. how

Convictions for the most abhorrent crimes
have repeatedly been set aside because of
trivial verbal omissions In the Indictment

the State department officials, unless the
slS'OOooCO loan now being negotiated in this
country is contaminated and the agreement
between Nicaragua and the United States,
guaranteeing the payment of the loan, is
referred at this session of congress.
This came to light today with the an
nonncement that the gunboat vicksburs
would proceed from San Diego to Corinto,
Nicaragua, to relieve the gunboat York;
town, now at that station.
State department officials say the pres
ence OF gunboat is absolutely necessary
to prevent a revolution breaking out inme-
diateiy; that many factions in Nicaragua
are opposed to the loan and the absence Of
American warships would give them a
chance for armed revolt.
