 Pueorto-CorteZ, Honduras, July 1S.- Gen. Manuel Bonillas control of the Atlantic coast of Honduras has been ferther strengthened by the appoint ment of Ricardo Lopez, his private sec rotary, as collector of customs of Puerto Cortez.

WASHINGTON SPENDS SUNDAY
 WITH THE SHOPS WIDE OPEN
BY WALTER HARPER

I down and interweave with the dena- goguic glamor of today.
 But I remarked that 1t was Sunday, l II o'clock a. m. But you would not know it except for the musical call of the. church bells and reference to your almanac.
 The shops and dives along the lower enc of the street are standing open for business. The shopkeepers in their shirt sleeves are at the doors to invite you in.
 Barber shops are open and busy, dry goods, shoes hats, old book and magazine stores, souvenir shops and picture galleries. There are tons of souvenir cards and trinkets displayed along the avenue. You can get dozen postcards of buildings and scenes about Washington for a dime.
 There are putty facsimiles of Wash irston monument and car loads of cfeap knives, spoons, paper knives and other trinkets bearing embossed rep resentations of the capitol building and other public buildings to say nothing of likenesses of the incumbent exec utlvf at the White House.
 That business Is brisk in this sort of junk goes without saying All the shops line of such souvenirs. Washington is always crowded with tourists from all sections of the United States and the world. These people have money to spend and spend it freely Washington with its public buildings, eau tiful streets and parks is perhaps the most attractive city in the world ard the tourist always wants some re- hinder of his visit

NO OVERHEAD WIRES GAN
 BE FOUND IN WASHINGTON
BY WALTER HARPER

1 the business and residential sections there are no wires of any description and of course no poles. Everything is under ground.
 There are trolley wires for the cars but they are under ground in a grove be- low the center of the track But so grounded had become the habit of lodging the overhead fingers of death have not yet recovered from the habit of hesitating before crossing a track be- hind a car.
 A lady from Syracuse, N. Y, paid her first visit to Washington a few days ago and was the guest of friends.
 There is one thing in Washington that surprises me very much,'' she remarked to her host. T thought Washington was further advanced than I find it. Why Syracuse is far ahead of Washington in one respect
 Tn what way?" inquired her friend.
 Why you still have the old cable cars, while Syracuse has electric cars.''
 Her host smiled broadly, trimphantiy. "Why, my dear madam, Syracuse Is far behind in this respect. These are electric cars just as you have in Syra- cuse, but we have abandoned the old fashioned and dangerous system of over head wires.

Washington, July 1s-(Special.)-The al- most entire absence of overhead wiring in the city of Washington is a feature that no one fails to appreciate. This some thing lacking impresses the visitors the minute he steps from the train and walks out on the streets and avenues. He may not at once recognize the thing he misses but he is conscious of something that does not look just right.
 The feature was first impressed upon me in very odd fashion. I started to pass to the rear of street car. I stopped a moment before crossing the track be- hind the car. I formed habit of doing this in Birmingham and other cities where one has an instinctive fear of broken trolley wires.
 As I waited I looked up to see if the trolley wire was still intact. There was no wire. This puzzled me for a moment. No trolley wire?
 No, there was not only no trolley wire but no other sort of wire to mar the view upward and around.
 Occasionally in some sections of the city you may find few telephone and maybe lighting wires, but in the main part of
