Zelaya SO smoothly that people scarcely
suspected that he was playing at all.
In 1902 the five republics came together
at Corinto. where the five presidents
agreed that they would assist one an
other in maintaining themselves in pow
er. Zelaya and Cabrera planned that lit
tie scheme. Three years passed and then
a revolution broke out in Honduras and
the agreement became a dead letter. In
1905 Cabrera was caught red-handed aid
ing ex-President Alfaro of Salvador in
revolution against the established author
tiles of that country. .
Later Salvador invaded Guatemala
without taking trouble to declare war,
and honors

stepped in and treaty was negotiated
between the representatives of the five
republics and the American and Mexican
ministers pledging the Ave republics to
good behavior. In 1907 the Washington
convention was entered into and the
peace court at Carriage established. Sit

the Monotombo. a dilapidated gunboat,
and sent them up to Acajutla to invade
Salvador. He had ds his ally ex-Presi-

was upon this occasion that the invaders
went TO Sonsonate. carrying Calling

Johnny Moissant. as its operator, nego-

back to the Monotombo upon the APP

In the Honduran revolution of 1907,
Manuel Bonilla was in power, the same
Bonila who is now president. He de-
cided he wanted to stay in Office for
six years. and so heightened his term,
the constitution to the contrary not with
standing. Then Zelaya came into the
situation as the champion of constitu-
tional government in a neighborhoring
state. Neither he nor Estrada Cabrera
liked Manuel Bonilla, because neither
could control him. and each wanted
creature of his own in the Honduran
presidency. Bonilla called Salvador to
his assistance. but Zelaya won out. He

Davila who in turn was overthrown in
1911 by the man he succeeded, Manuel

DEGREES MIXING OF PATIENTS

1T would be better for some people to
be chloroformed than have to go to the
Washington Asylum Hospital. 1 know
what am talking about. 1t is the dump
ing ground of the District of Columbia,
and the Congress of the United States is
going to know exactly the state Of things
over there"
Representative Dyer of Missouri, who
is planning a series of hearings and to
recommend wholesale change in some
of the Districts charities. particularly
hospitals. expressed himself in that way
to a Star reporter today. Representative
Dyer's views on the Washington Asylum
Hospital are decidedly in opposition to
certain policies now pursued in the insti--
tuition and in the board of charities,
which has control of the institution
You see all sorts of people over there.
You see maternity cases that will make
you weep-and at the same time Column
bia Hospital is established for just those
cases. 1 understand the Washington
Asylum is full of tuberculosis. Is that
right? What's the matter with the Tu-
berculosis Hospital? That was estab-
lished for tubercular patients. and Is not
full. Then why are patients with tuber
culosis allowed to stay at Washington
Asylum Hospital?
All Sorts Mixed Together.
AT Washington Asylum Hospital all
sorts of patients are mixed together. Sick
criminals and criminally insane are min
gled heterogeneously through the institu-
tion maternity cases and cases arising
from every conceivable form Of disease
and insanitation are dumped in there be-
cause of general lack of supervision
somewhere In the city government. 1t
looks to me as IL other hospitals turned
down some of these unfortunates and
that the Washington Asylum Hospital
took them all in, regardless OF any pre-
cautions or ability to treat them"
Mr.. Dyer is at the head of the subcom-
mittee which has been investigating the
Districts hospitals for several months.
Investigations into the tuberculosis Hos
pitaL That institution. he said today, Is
now running to the entire satisfaction of
the committee. The next investigation

entire system OF hospitals and instttu-
tons in the District.

To Take Up Food Question.

The question of food will be taken up
by Mr.. Dyer's committee. Members OF
the committee have statements saying
that prison fare is served to some of the
INDECENT patients there. and that only
those on liquid diet are served with any,
thing like carefully prepared hospital
food. A careful line of questioning is
being prepared to find out the truth OF
this statement.
The system of charities and correc-
tions in the District of Columbia re-
quires a large appropriation yearly, and
Mr.. Dyer plans to survey the whole
field before December. In addition to
the Washington Asylum and jail and
the tuberculosis Hospital, he intends
to make an investigation into the
Home for Aged and Infirm. the Ma

are cared for. Industrial Home School
