KEEPING WIRES HOT.
Increased Revolutionary Activit
Along Mexican Border-Marines
Sail for Nicaragua.

Washington, Aug. 31.-A wave Of
anti-American sentiment in Central
America, reported in State Depart
ment dispatches today from five
southern republics, caused much dip
lomatic uneasiness, despite apparent
cessation of turbulence in Nicaragua.
While Nicaragua is regarded as the
most serious problem at present, min
or troubles in Cuba, Panama, Mexico
and Honduras is keeping cable wires
hot.
Increased revolutionary activity
along the Mexican border is reported
Dispatch of two more regiments of
infantry and signal corps there is
being seriously considered.
Five hundred marines sailed for
Nicaragua. today from Panama aboard
the California. These will increase
the American force in Nicaragua to
1900. Several hundred more blue
jackets and two cruisers are due at
Corinto later next week.
!Anti-American outbursts in Cuba
over the arrest of i Havana news
paper reporter for assaulting Secre-
tary Hugh Gibson of the United
States legation are assuming a seri-
Gus aspect, according to reports to-
day. The third arrest of the report
er was reported today to Acting Sec
retary OF State Wilson. Gibson was
formerly Wilson's private secretary,
and the latter IS vigorously insisting
upon punishment by the Cuban gov
crnmcnt of Gibson's assailant. Anti
American newspapers in Havana are
reported to be tanning the blaze Of
hostility against the United States
over the Gibson incident. Strong rep
reservations were made today to the
Cuban legation here.
In Panama, the enforced reslgna-
ton of the chief Of police upon de-
mands by American Minister Dodge
is reported to have caused open eX-
pressions of anti-American prejudice.
Fomenting of another revolution in
Honduras is also feared by State De-
partment officials Professional reb-
els arc reported to have renewed their
activity, following developments in
Nicaragua.
Admiral Southerland, in charge OF
the protection of American lives and
property in Nicaragua, reported to-
day that the rebels have ceased open
operations. They have withdrawn to
the interior, leaving the American
troops in full control of the situation,
permitting re-establishment of rail-
road and telegraphic communication
between Corinto the principal Paclflc
seaport, and Managua, the capital.

Mysterious disappearance Oh ueh-
eral Mena, head of the Nicaragua
rebels, is puzzling both American and
Nicarapuan officials, however, it IS re-
norted. Mena and his army have not
been seen for almost a week. IL Is
thought possible that he is planning
an attack upon towns not within the
zone protected by the American
forces.

work, and now that the business
has increased until it has become

The subject of this sketch was
born in Washington county, Kan
sas, where he was engaged in
farming and stock raising from
a boy until 10 months ago when
he removed to the Mission valley.
He bought a farm near Roman
which he afterwards sold, and
took up homestead west of
town about 10 miles, where he
will soon reside.
Col. Campion has a certificate
from as good a school for the
production Of auctioneers as
there is in the United States,
and while not boasting about
the number of sales he has cried,
prides himself on the success
attained in his efforts.
He is married, has four chill
dren and loves his home. While
he will shortly remove to his
homestead west of town, his
address will still be Roman,
where letters asking for dates
may be addressed him, or word
may be left at the Pioneer by
anyone desiring his services.

Last Lecture Number

The last number on the lecture
course was by Rev. H. V. Adams,
at the opera house last Saturday
night. This lecture was by far
the best number of the five, and
fully 4S5 Roman people missed
the best part of the winters en-
tertainment provided by these
lectures and concerts.
The speakers subject was
Grapes of Gold," and while it
would be a difficult matter to as
certain what he said from the
title of his lecture, those present
fully understood it's meaning be-
fore he had spoken very long.
Those who signed the guaran-
tee for these entertainments find
themselves holding the sack"
so to speak, to the tune of better
than 500, and to reimburse
themselves will, with the aid Of
DR.. and Mrs. Hall and some other
enterprising citizens, put on a
minstrel show to help pay the
deficit. To this end practice will
commence at an early date with
the hope of being able to put the
show on the boards in about an
other month. An amatuer per-
Torrance Of any kind is usually
more interesting than other per-
formances, and a minstrel show
by local people is always a draw
ing card, so it is expected this
performance will attract a large
crowd and the deficit made en-
tirely good.

Liability Law Sustained

AS one of the most important
decisions handed down for some
time, the supreme court has
declared the employers liability
law passed in 1903 constitutional,
The opinion was delivered by
Justice Vandeventer.
Shortly after the bill became a
law in 1903 a test case was start
ed. The case got through the
lower courts, and in three years
time worked it's way to the SUI
preme court for final judgment.
Probably every manufacturer
in the country was directly in
terested in the result of the case.
Its progress through the courts
has been watched with interest,
and the final outcome was as ex-
pected.
Labor interest has been keen
and the decision will be hailed
with joy by hundreds of labor
organizations throughout the
country.
By the law, now a law beyond
question, all employers are liable
for the safety of it's employees.
In countless cases employers have
escaped payment of damages for
loss of limb and life of their
workmen, where through the
fault of the workmen, probably,
or a combination Of carelessness
and faulty machinery.
But the employers liability
law offers more protection to the
employee. Employers are now
liable for the safety of their la
borers, and a big step has been
taken.
The opinion was delivered in
four cases. In one of these a
fireman named Babcock was the
plaintiff with the Northern Pa
cific as the defendant. Babcock
was killed in a collision at
Youngs Point, Mont, in 1908.
His wife asked for $4,000 dam
ages by reason of the employers
liability law.
