Killed BY Ear Ier Explosion

New York.-Nicaraguans in this
city are disinclined to believe that
the explosion of Fort La Iona was
an accident. They were sure that it
was part Of plot by the rebels who
have headquarters at Leon against
the administration of President
Adolpho Diaz, and they expect re-
prisals to follow.
Fort La Iona was perched at the
summit of an extinct volcano and
looked down on Managua from a
height of 1000 feet. After the Gov
eminent arsenal blew up in the heart
of the city nine years ago it was re-
established at La Iona.
Four hundred persons were killed
In the first explosion, which was
probably an accident. For days the
trees OF the city park adjacent hung
draped with tatters Of humanity and
the sky was black with vultures. The
first main explosion was followed by
many minor detonations, and SO great
was the terror of the populace that
they largely deserted the city, leav-
Ing the dead to the vultures.

Washington. Judge E. II. Gary,
chairman Of the executive committee
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, told the Stanley investigating
committee of the House all of the
details of the absorption of the Ten.
nessee Coal and Iron Company by the
United States Steel Corporation
Judge Gary told the committee that
his corporation stood behind ]. Pier
pont Morgan in averting q disastrous
financial upheaval in 1907.
Judge Gary laid before the COM
niittee the inside facts of the all
night conferences that were held in
]. p. Morgan's library in the nerve
racking days of the 1907 panic; de-
scribed how he and Henry ]. Prick
had rushed by special train to Wash
ington, to confer with President
Roosevelt; how the long-distance
phone from the White House to New
York had been held open for fash
of the result while the conference
was on, and how, finally, widespread
financial disaster was averted by the
purchase by the United States Steel
Corporation of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company.
Takes Issue Win Gates.
Judge Gary denied emphatically
the statement made by John w,
Gates before the House committee
that the taking over of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company by the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation was
squeeze, or forced sale. He de-
clared that the purchase was made
at the solicitation of Grant B. Schley,
of the banking and brokerage
firm of Moore & Schley, and his
friends to save that concern from
going under and to prevent the A.
nancial calamity that would certain
ly follow it's downfall.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton, according to Judge Gary, after
repeated urgings, finally stepped into
the breach and paid loo for stock
which they did not consider at the
time to be worth more than g. The
difference of 35 points represented
what the United States Steel Corpora
ton felt was its duty to pay to avert
the threatening panic. In all it
turned about $30,000,000 over to
the firm of Moore & Schley and en-,
abled them to weather the storm

GETS CHANCE TO REORGANIzE
Supreme Court Decides Against
Tobacco Trust--Sent Back
to Lower Court.

i Washington ss--u The government
won a sweeping victory over the
so-called tobacco trust" when the
Supreme Court of the United States
held the American Tobacco Com
pany and It's allied corporations to
be operating in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
BY directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege of inter-
state commerce be placed In the
hands of a receiver unless 1t dis
integrates In harmony with the law
within six, or at the most, eight
months, the court Is regarded to have
dealt with the tobacco corporations
more drastically than with the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey,
whose dissolution was ordered two
weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections
OF the Sherman Antitrust Law have
been violated by the so-called To-
baeco Trust, according to the court.
Not only has it restrained wrong
fully and unlawfully Interstate COM
merce in the eyes of the court, but
lit has attempted to monoDolize the
tobacco business to the injury of the
public and of its competitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe, at the same time
there was a touch Of leniency in not
making the combination an outlaw
now" The various elements of the
combination are to be given as oppor-
tunity, under the supervision Of the
United States Circuit. Court for the
Southern District of New York, of
recreation, so that there may be
brought about "a new condition
which shall. be honestly in harmony
with and not repugnant to the law. .
The opinion OF the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White, who
also delivered the opinion of the
court in the Standard Oil case. The
entire court agreed that the tobacco
combination violated the Sherman
Antitrust Law; but Associate Justice
Harlan dissented from the repeated
Interpretation of the Sherman Anti
trust Law; so as to call. for the APP
plication of the rule of reason" In
determining what restraints of trade
were forbidden by the act. In this
respect the division of the court was
the same as in the Standard Oil case.

1t took seven hours debate to
agree upon the system, and it was
finally adopted by vote of 48 to

urged by Senator La Toilette of turn
ing the case over to five senators
who were not members when the
case was voted upon before and.
therefore, were supposed to be un-

Memorial Day celebration Washing
ton has seen.
Far be it from me-" said the
President, to minimize in any way
by these suggestions the debt we owe
to the men buried here, who carried
on the successful struggle that re-
suited in the abolition of the cancer
of slavery and which seemed in
eradicable, save by such an awful
slaughter of the brightest and bravest
and best of the nations youth and
manhood.
Il shall not stop to discuss whether
1t might have been possible to accom-
plish the same great reform by
milder methods. Whether that be
true or not, the supreme sacrifice of
these men, who lie about u.s. in the
cause of advancing humanity can
never be lessened or obscured by
such suggestion. But the thought
at which would but hint this morn
ing is that even in the hallowed pres
#enee of these dead, whose ideals OF
patriotism and love of their country
men it needed a war to make ever.
lastingly evident, we should abate no
effort and should strain every nerve
and avail ourselves of every honor
able possible device to- avoid war In
the future.
II am not blind to the aid in Great
ing sturdy manhood that the mill
tary discipline we see In the stand
ing armies of Europe and In the
regular army of this country fur
nishes, nor do deny the incidental
benefits that may grow out Of the
exigencies and sequels of war; But
when the books are balanced, the
awful horrors Of either internecine
or international strife far outweigh
the benefits that may be traced to
it. .
1t was not SO long ago that the
President said when an insult by one
man to another in the same social.
class could only be wiped out in
blood, and it took more moral cour-
age to avoid a duel than to fight one.
But we have progressed away from
that idea, he said.
"If that be true now, why may 1t
not be true In the near future of
nations? Why will 1t not show more
patriotism and more love of country
to refuse togo to war for an insult
and to submit to the arbitrament Of
"a peaceful tribunal, than to subject
whole people to the misery and
suffering and burden of the heavy
cost of a national war. however
