Hunting Season Opens

Last Friday was the opening OF
the hunting season in Kentucky and
many were the hunters who went
forth to slay and eat and many re-
turned after spending a day in
which they neither slay nor ate.
Reports from the hunters this year
indicate that there are fewer quail
than for many years, a condition
probably brought about by the
heavy rains last spring which
drowned out the young birds. We

London so Union ~

The followers OF Unions Basket

day in seeing them go down in de-

ed to display the form they had
shown Saturday in the Williams

by the frequent disputes arising
from the prejudided decisions of the
youthful and incapable referee
from London. 1t is to be hoped
that hereafter London will secure
for referee a man who can fill his
position in the same gentlemanly
manner that the members of her

CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Naval Officers in Washington In
clined to Disbelieve Report, Which
Has Not Been Verified. :.

Panama, Sept. 25.-That twenty
nine American bluejackets have been
massacred at Leon, Nicaragua, after
killing forty revolutionists was report
ed here today.
Confirmation Of the report is lack
ing, but much uneasiness is felt, since
it is known anti-American feeling has
been growing in Nicaragua for several
days.
The town of Leon has been rebel
stronghold since the rebel
lion broke out 1t is about midway
between Lake Managua and the Pa
cifc Ocean, has population approx
imately $4,000 and is connected b.
rail with Corinto.
Trouble began in Nicaragua in July
with President Diaz's request for per-
mission to go aboard an American
warship as a vantage point from
which to dismiss war minister Mena
He expressed the opinion that Mena
would attempt revolution and feared
for his life if he remained ashore.
His fears were justified. Mena
raised the standard OF revolt and has
been in arms ever since.
Bluejackets and marines were land
e5 from American warships to pro-
tect foreign lives and property and to
police the railroads. The Nicaraguans
deeply resented this and, according to
latest messages from San Juan Del
Sur, the Washington administrations
explanation Of its reasons only made
matters. worse
Washington, Sept. 25.-Naval otil-
cials received no confirmation today
of the report from Panama that "
American marines had been killed al
Leon. They were inclined to believe
there was no truth in the report
Latest reports from Rear AdmlraI
Southerland, in command of the eXp9'
ditionarv force in Nicaragua, showed
that the number of marines at Leon
was between 300 and 400. 1t is un-
derstood here that Lieut. Commander
Long is in charge of the forces in and
above Leon.
No reports were received from NC
aragua today of any kind.

tions for Expedition.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Haiti, the
"Black Republic" is the target OF
the armed demonstration by American
marines in Santo Domingo ordered
yesterday by the President, officials
here admitted today. Intervention in
Haiti, similar to that in Nicaragua, is
certain within the next three weeks.
The marines will be on Haitian sol, os-
tensibly to protect Dominican GUS
toms houses, it was conceded at the
Navy Department.
Sailing Friday from Philadelphia
on the transport, Prairie, $50 marines
will be stationed along the Haitian
Dominican boundary. Navy officials
today said that, unless the Haitian
rebels withdraw, the American troops
will be forced to intervene in Haiti,
to protect property there as we'll as
guard the Dominican customs houses
and border country from depredatlons.

Navy Department heads declared
today that Congress must increase the
marine corps next winter, possibly by

VOTE AGAINST REMOVAL.
Alexandria County Court House VIII
Not be Moved to ROsslyn.

Although there is some question OF
the legality of the election held IN
Alexandria county yesterday, due to
the fact that the polls in Jefferson
district were not opened, the major
ity, in the remaining part OF the coun-

house from its present location TO
Rosslyn, was so decisive that it is not
thought that an atempt Will be
made to hold another election. The
vote in the two districts where the
election was held showed that l9l
were opposed to the removal while "A
favored u change.
There was no election in Jefferson
district owing to the fact that the
registration books were not received
in time. George W. Zachary, and
Judge ". T. Emerson, clerk were the
only officials present at sunrise yes
terday when the law says that the
polls shall be opened. Two voters ap-
peared shortly afterwards but as there
were no registration books present
they were unable to vote. At Z o'clock,
W.B.McCune an other judgg, made his
appearance, and shortly afterwards
Benton Shinn, the registrar arrived,
but as the two voters had left the
polling place it was decided that
the election would be Illegal If held
