He WEEDS PRETTY COSTA
RICAhi CALLED TRAITOR
Just For That Belisario Porras
viii Try to Get High Office Of
Man Who Said It.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. 12.--If
you were Panaman and you loved
pretty Costa Rican girl and mar
ried her and was charged with being
traitor to your country. what would
you do?
DR.. Belisario Porras, until recently
Panama's minister To the United
States, knows what he is going to do.
he will 80 back to the little Central
American republic and run for presi.
dent--try to beat President Pablo
Arosemena, who was responsible for
the traitor charge and who recalled
Dr. Porras right In the midst OF the
latter's honeymoon with the aforesaid
Costa Rican beauty.
For long time the Arosemena
crowd down In Panama has been try
ing ITO get" DR.. Porras. The whole
thing is sample of Panama politics
as played there now. DR.. Porras
turned In and helped elect Arosemena
with the distinct understanding that
the latter would not be candidate
for another term. But the ONCE and
its perquisites, In the shape OF plums
for the other members of the Arose
mena family, looked too good to re-
sist.
So Arosemena announced that he
would accept" another term. The big
gest man, by far, In Panama was DR..
Porras. He had served as minister
to Brazil and to Costa Rica, and after
Arosemenas election came to Wash
ington as Panama's representative.
Immediately Panama spy system was
begun, every effort was made to dis
credit Porras with the American ad-
ministration. These were highly un-
successful President Taft, who un-
officially gave the Panamans to under
stand that he didn't like that kind OF
politics, went on record as not favor
ing Arosemena as against Porras.
II was then that Arosemena played
what he thought was a fine trump
card. Dr. Porras, having met and
wooed the Costa Rica belle during the
days OF his official residence In Costa
Rica, started the wedding bells ring
ing In manner peculiar to Washing
ton, but considered commonplace In
Latin-America.

-rayed in all the finery of a bride,
knelt at the altar OF a Costa Rican
church by the side OF friend Of DR..
Porras. The words OF the wedding
ceremony were flashed over the wires
to the diplomatic bridegroom In Wash

United States capital. only TO find
when she reached Washington that
her husband had become traitor

Now she is prostrated.

hope the Panama elections will wipe

and his bride in the presidential man
sion. That the recall Will act as a
boomerang to the Arosemena faction
seems probable.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE MAY

Returns From Rural Districts
Are Cutting Down City
Majorities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.--with
only $50 precincts In the state still
TO be heard from, the indications are
today that the amendment that the
state constitution extending the bal
lot to women will be carried. This Is
by no means certain, but returns
since yesterday morning have cut
down the plurality against the amend
ment TO such a small figure that the
suffragists are confident of victory.
Returns from 2,4S4 precincts out OF
3,143 In the state show q majority
against the amendment Of sos votes.
II the rate of gain shown by the
amendment on the returns since yes
terday morning Is maintained In the
remaining 659 precincts, suffrage will
be adopted by a substantial plurality.
Yesterday the returns showed q
plurality OF more than 5000 against
the amendment. These returns, II Is
pointed out, were mostly from the
larger cities. which were admittedly
against suffrage. Since then the coun-
try precincts have been heard from
and they have steadily cut down the
5000 plurality. Suffrage leaders de
clared that the 659 precincts still
unreported are all In rural districts.
A plurality of two TO the precinct
would be sufficient to carry the
amendment
Returns so far serve only to In
crease the tremendous pluralities
polled for the initiative, referendum
