GENERAL goNILLA INDICTED.
Charges of Conspiracy are Brought
Against Honduran Leader.

New Orleans.-The Honduran revo,
lutionary situation was further compli,
Gated Saturday by the indictment in
the federal court here of General
Manuel Bonilla. provisional president
of Honduras, General Lee Christmas
Colonel Florian David and Joseph w
Beer, charged with violating the neu
trality laws in connection with the
dlibustering expedition of the steamer
Hornet
The indictments resulted from an
investigation instituted by the depart
ment of justice at Washington. The
action of the grand jury caused sen
sation here, especially in view of the
fact that in the past numerous revolu
tionary expeditions directed against
Central American countries have left
this port without secrecy.

FILIBUsTER SUCCEEDS.
The Omnibus War Claims Bill Practi.
eaIIy Killed BY Representative Mann.

WashinCton.-The house at 2:42
Sunday morning practically killed tn
senate omnibus war claims bill by
adopting a motion of Mr.. Mann to
strike out all after the enacting clause
in that bill which had provided for
the French spoliation claims. Adop-
ton of this motion had the effect CT
eliminating the measure as senate
bill.
1t left it as the house bill without
any provision for the spoliation
claims, which was the direct target
of the filibuster. The Republicans
were jubilant over what they regarded
as a shrewd trick by Mr.. Mann.

The Folly OF Lawsuits
From The Progressive Farmer,

Whatever else you you do, don't
eet into a lawsuit over some trifling
disagreement with a neighbor, The
courts are full of suits which could
have been settled by mutual con-
cession Or by arbitration to the
advantage Of all parties except the
lawyers in the case. Just the other
day a suit was decided after two or
three days Of expense and worry on
the part of two families. 1t was
over a disputed line, as so many
such suits are, and the land in dis
pute was probably not worth fifty
dollars. The suit cost the winner
1925, and the loser, being taxed
with the costs, necessarily had
more to pay, 1t is probable that
each party spent at least Sl00
worth Of time In monkeyinS with
the case.
Another case recently noticed is
where q farmer had a right to get
water from a spring on neighbor's
land. He wanted to build d spring
house, the owner objected. The
first man had GOT along without a
sprins-house for years, 1t would not
have damaged the land owner a
penny, yet an Injunction has been
issued and q lawsuit 10 on, Each
party will probably spend several
hundred dollars and be no better
of, and the old friendliness of the
neighborhood will be a thing Of the
past.
To begin d suit In court over
some such trivial matter which
could easily be adjusted by little
give and take, Is not only the poor.

of losing certain dollars to gain pos
slble centsr-but is also crime
