Eastern Money to be Invested ii
Louisiana Wet Lands.

AS the result of investigations
made early in the summer by Boston
and Philadelphia land scouts, who
spent some time going over the
parishes of southern Louisiana in
the alluvial land area, it is likely
that eastern money in large quanti-
ties may begin to enter the wet land
investment field in Louisiana within
the near future. Inquiries concerning
these lands have been received from
banking and bond-buying houses of
Boston, Philadelphia, New York. and
Baltimore, and local land men are
greatly encouraged, for heretofore
that class of money has been re-
garded as much inclined toward
Florida and the districts of the
northwest.
The value of the southern land
investments was first brought to the
attention of eastern financial men
by the offers of drainage district
bonds, in which the value of the
land was pledged to the investors
The outlook proved So alluring that
the bond buyers were impressed suf
ficiently to begin inquiries looking
toward the acquisition of the lands
themselves.

IN FORT KILLED
Explosion at Managua Thought
to Be Part of Plot Against
New President.
PLAN ON FOOT TO CUT
THE REPUBLIC IN TWO
Blowing Up of the Arsenal Nine
Years Ago Under Zelaya
Regime Recalled.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, June l.
The explosion which occurred IN the
fortress La Iona on Tiscapa hill, over
looking Mapagua, yesterday afternoon,
resulted in the killing or woundlng OF
40 soldiers,
1t was officially stated today that the
blowing up of the fortress was due 10
a political plot. Many liberals, sup
porters of Former President Estrada
have been placed under arrest. Presi-
dent Adolfo Diaz, against whom the
plot is said TO have been directed, his
ministers and others identified with the
government, escaped injury,
So far as a widespread revolutionary
movement is concerned, the government
has issued an emphatic denial but the
situation in Managua is as serious as
that which arose when the attempts
were made against President Estrada
last February.
Troops are guarding the palace and
public buildings and detachments OF
cavalry are patrolling the streets, The
capital is practically in a state of siege
Up to tonight III bodies have been
taken from the ruins, including those OF
a woman and a boy who were selling
fruit TO the soldiers.
1t is said the explosion colncided
with that of a revolutionary movement
at Leon, which failed because of meas
ures taken by the government.

Striking Sentences
From Rose Address

The constant violation or neglect
of any law leads to decentralization
Of all laws, and I am here to make
the charge that whenever and wl1er-
ever prohibition has been attempted
to be enforced it has been followed
IN every instance with utter disre-
gard Of law.
This is not church issue. =
It would be peculiar creed that
would deny me the right OF my con-
science.
There (Michigan) they have coun-
ty option, the most iniquitous species
of prohibition that was ever con-
ceived in the human intellect. ..--
How proud you have been of the
grand old prohibition state OF
Maine Sixty years of prohibition,
Sixty years Of Hypocrisy Sixty
years of drunkenness and debauch-
cry! Sixty years filling their aims
houses and their insane asylums!
City of Salt Lake the uncertainty of
this condition has affected your
trade conditions here.
One may not speak against pro
libition without drawing down upon
his innocent head the anathema and
vilification of those who disagree
with him. Blinded by their bigotry.
led on by their intolerance, they
don't hesitate for one moment to
destroy the one who dares to disa-
gree with them.
MI. Prohibitionist, you have made
hypocrites and towards and law
breakers ont of public officials,
And now they propose to ask you
to blight every prospect of the fu-
ture. as every city that has ever
been touched by prohibition has
been blighted.

SECOND ARSENAL HORROR.
Four Hundred People Killed In the First
Explosion.

NEW YORK, June 1-Nicaraguans
in this city were disinclined to believe
today that the explosion of Fort La
Iona last night was an accident, They
were sure that it was part Of a plot
by the rebels who have headquarters
at Leon against the administration of
President Adolfo Diaz and they expect
reprisals TO follow,
Fort La Iona was perched at the
summit of an extinct volcano and
looked down on Managua from height
Of 5000 feet. After the government
arsenal blew up in the heart of the
city nine years ago during the dictator
ship of Zelaya 1t was established at
La Iona, where there was a regular
garrison Of ESQ men
Four hundred persons were killed in
the first explosion, which probably was
an accident. and for days the trees of
the city park adjacent hung draped with
tatters of humanity and the sky was
black with vultures.
Zelaya thought to make political cap
ital out Of the situation and sought, by
the promises Of immunity from prosecu.
ton, TO induce two leaders of the oppo.
sition 30 confess that the explosion had
been plotted by their party. The two
leaders, Castro and Guandigue, afraid
TO implicate themselves by talking
were equally condemned by their 81

then burned In public.
