WHY PRESIDENT REVOKED
ORDER SENDING TROOPS

Washington, Aug. 29.-Adverse crit
ieisn of the state departments Central
American policy during the closing
hours of the last session of the senate,
with intimations that an American
army would be sent to Nicaragua soon
after congress adjourned, are believed
by some officials here to be the rea-
sons which actuated President Taft
in revoking the order sending the
Tenth infantry from the canal zone
to Nicaragua.
All authorities on international law
in the state, war and navy depart
ments are practically agreed that there
is no technical difference between the
khaki clad soldier and the marine or
blue jacket when employed as a land
ing force in a foreign country. But
there is a public sentiment which in
yariably associates the landing of sol
diers with actual warfare and a per-
manency of purpose. On the other
hand marines and blue jackets are so
frequently called upon for the most
temporary and exigent service as to
excite little comment.
From a military point of view it is
said at the state department, the only
effect of the presidents action of last
night viii be to slightly retard the as
sembly of a sufficient American force
in Nicara qua to insure the mainten-
ance of communication between the

Columbus, Ohio, Aug 29.-President

Taft was not told of the arrest of a

president must use the veto when his
conscience tells him. whether his head
drops in the basket or not The veto
is an excellent thing. My friends who
criticize me forget that I was elected

more people than they were"

ANXIETY is EXPRESSED
FOR SAFETY OF MANAGUA

Washington, Aug. 29.-Anxiety is
expressed for Managua in view of a
despatch dated Monday, which was re-
ceived at the state department early
today from American Minister Weitzel.
The despatch merely stated that the
government had been informed that
another attack on the capital would
be made by the rebels. Nothing of
later date had been received at noon
today.
Copies of all cablegrams bearing on
the Niearaguan situation are being
sent to President Taft The tenth in
fantry still is being kept in readiness
for duty in Nicaragua.
Upon his arrival at Corinto, COM
mander Washington, who is now the
senior naval officer in Nicaragua
waters, called into a conference a
committee representing the rebels. The
rebels acquiesced in the demand for
the immediate repair of the railroad
between Corinto and Managua and
the opening of Geographic communities
ton.
A despatch received here today said
that wires between Corinto and Mana
qua would be in operation within
forty, eight hours but that it would
require eighteen days to repair the
railroad.
Much suffering because of great
scarcity of food was reported by Com
mander Washington. The rebels de-
mand for the surrender of the port of
corinto was presented on August u,
it became known today.
The consul at Corinto says. COM
mission of rebels appeared at Corinto
under a flag of truce. Francisco Baco
who headed the party, presented an
ultimatum to the federal commander
for the capitulation of the town with
in six hours.
The demand was refused, the COM
mander telling the rebels that the pro-
lection of the town had been given
over to the American forces. The next
day the same party again appeared.
Then the American consul assured
them that the commander of the gun
boat Annapolis was prepared to land
an armed force for the protection of
the place. The rebels appeared no
more.

ROOSEVELT GOES
AFTER ARCHBOLD
AssaiIs Him and Senator PeErose for
Testimony Before Senate Campaign
Contributions Committee.
BY Associated Press.

Bennington. VT, Aug. 29-An attack
on Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
and John d. Archbold of the Standard
Oil Company was made here today by
Col. Theodore Roosevelt in opening
his Vermont campaign. He assailed
them for their testimony before the
senate campaign contributions inves-
tigating committee.
1--WE have been saying for some
time" said Col Roosevelt that was
opposed by an alliance between big
buciness and politics and now John d.
Archbold of the Standard Oil Company
and Senator Peprose jump up to say
that it is true"
The colonel read from the testimony
of Mr.. Archibald and Senator Penrose
before the senate committee. AS soon
as these men had testified, he said
they let Mr.. Archbold go off to Europe
and they scattered to the four winds
and refused to let me testify Their
testimony reads not unlike some of
that appearing in cases of police pro-
lection to the underworld in our great
cities.
"Mr. Archbold and Senator Penrose
testified that Mr.. Bliss had attempted
to blacknail the Standard Oil Com
pany. Mr.. Archbold didn't complain
because he was blackmailed. What he
complained of was that he didn't get
the goods. Penrose testified that he
tried to blackmail the Standard Oil
Company. AS the senator has admit
ted what he has done, he should be
thrown out Of the senate"
Col. Roosevelt prophesied the pass

HOW UNCLE RESCUED US

TT ALL came OF pretending to be
fsherfoIlS Auntie sent us down
TO play on the beach, and said,
sNow, be good children. and don't
9sR snto mischief" So we didn't.
BY and by we caught sight OF the
big fisher boat coming In. Joe and
Mike Ransom were rowing like any
thing; It seemed jolly to be great,
strong fishermen.
They rowed right I'D to the shingly
beach, then Jumped out and naoored the
beat to q spIlxy sort Of pole sticking in
the sands.
When they had gone, Johnny said,
Let's have 3 peep into the boat"
thought how nice and cool it would
be In that great dark boat. So I went
back to Johnny. and said we would
just get In for the weeny weeniest
while.
T.Iere were such a lot OF funny
things in the boat-hshlng tackle. and
nets. and crab cages. and no end Of
other queerities. It took quite long
ish time to look at them all Then we
got the idea OF pretending to be ash
ermen. We cast the nets into the sea,
and waited for the fish to get into them.
It was great fun, far Iollier than build
ing sand castles. We went on playing
for a long. long time. and we never
thought about going home till We felt
the boat moving. and then It was too
late!
We climbed ON TO the seats and look
ed out, and then we saw nothing but
water all round US! Johnny seemed
to ike It. He said, Wen have to wait
till the tide goes out again, SO let's go
on being fishermen"
The boat was going quite quickly. for
the wind was blowing It along, and
soon we were quite out Of the bay,
where we had been playing on the
beach. We tried 10 manage one OF the
oars, but we couldn't even lift IT, Then
gTs found longish STICK at the bottom

ed and wondered whatever We were TO
DO next. Johnny got awfully Cross, and
said It was all my fault for helping him
into the boat: but that's just ike g
boy, to blame his sister, and then we
called each other names. and got angry
ard miserable.
We were just starving, and there
was nothing to eat. not even a tiny
crab or sheIlfsh. Johnny said We
would have to chew his leather belt.
That very minute saw a ship In the
diftsHeel
We got SO excited, ard waved and
waved our handkerchiefs, but they
were too small to be seen: so took
of my scarlet cotton frook, and tied
1t 20 stick, and stood on the seat and
twirled 1t round and round. holding IT
as high as ever could
When they came close to, they lifted
US into the boat. and then rowed Us
back to the steamer, where we were
asking US questions. and all the pas
sengers came crowding round, but we
were ever SO much too tired TO ex-
plain anything.
whats your auntie's manner" called
out one OF the passengers, and we told
him.
why" he said, 81 used to know her
years ago. I've come from Australia
to search for her This little girl re-
minded me so much of her, felt sure
she must be relation"
He asked Us a lot more questions,
and we told him everything.
How would you like me for q new
uncleT he asked
When we reached our cottage, we
rushed in to auntie with war whoop
OF Joy. She couldn't speak she was so
delighted to see Us again. She just
took US In her arms and kissed and
kissed u.s.
Then she caught sight, Of uncle in
the doorway. She sta at him in
surprise for one minut then ran up
to him. Why, it's jack" she ex-
claimed, and her eyes were full Of
tears, but we knew she was az glad as
glad could be.
After that we had q real tea party.
with all the best cups and saucers,
and heaps of cake.
Oh, l nearly forgot Uncle and
aunt are going to be married at the
old church in our village, and after
that they are going to Australia, and
taking US with them Uncle has a

could do, because he felt so glad.
And he thought 1t would be nice 70
play a very beautiful tune on a tin
whistle: so ne sat out down the road
and he played very Jiggy kind Of mu-
sic as he went.
Presently he met Bun the Rabbit,
with his two beautiful cousins. ana
they were all coming back from bow
ing very nicely to Leo the Lion. When
Bun the Rabbit heard the very jigTy
kind OF music OF Billy the Boo Bear.
he began to dance very quickly ana
very beautifully.
But Bun the Rabbit wasn't used 20
dancing, and so he thought that II
would be very nice 10 stop.
And he stopped with his hands and
he stopped with his head. but he
couldn't stop with his feet.
And the two cousins of Bun rhe Rab-
bit were very surprised!
But Billy the Boo Bear thought that
1t was very funny and nice, and he
stin went on playing jiggy music with
his mouth.
And Bun the Rabbit got very hot
and angry, but he still went on dane
ing with his feet.
And he tried to call out and tell Billy
the Boo Bear about what q nasty per-
son he was, but the dancing on hts
legs took away all his breath and 80
he couldn't. And he got hotter and
hotter in HIS body and redder and red
der in his face, until Billy the Boo
Bear couldn't stop himself from laugh
irg any Iongeri And he laughed very
happily all down the tin whistle.
And, Of course, then all the fierv
music stopped, and Bun the Rabbit
stopped also. and he called out anertJv
with his voice and chased very fast
after Billy the Boo Bear. But the Ierz
of Billy the Boo Bear were very sw,St
and the legs Of Bun the Rabbit vera
very tired with the dancing. ana -
Billy the Boo Bear got away safely
and ne turned head over heels win.

A NORTH HILL
CAR RAN into

PASSENGER BEING SLIGHTLY
INJURED.

One Of the worst street car accidents
to happen in this city recently oc-
CURED last night about TAO, when
North Hill car No. Al left the track at
the corner of Gregory and DeVtllier
streets and ran headlong into the store
Of Jim Hargis, doing a considerable
amount of damage to the store and
the stock Of goods The front Of the
store was practically demolished by
the accident.
MotoTman w RIodwedder vas con-
siderably bruised and SCRATCHED and it
was at first thought that he ives Sc
riously injured as result Of the COLI
lision, but the physician wiIo attended
him stated last night that he was not
seriously injured.
Mrs. Geo. L. BowchieT, residing at
II East Brainard street. who was a
passenger on the car, was slightly i'm
jured. one of her arms being cut by
Some Of the glass which was broken.
The conductor, Geo. McNair, was
thrown from the car eHthe rear end
but was not injured
The front end Of the car was badly
smashed up and it Is considered al
most miracle that the motorrnan
WaA AOk hAl4NAs
All the front end and a lot Of glass
show cases Of the store of Jim Hargts
were completely demolished.
There were nine passengers on the
car at the time OF the accident. but
only one passenger and the motornan
were injured.
1t is not known just how the aeei-
dent occurred and last night officials
Of the electric company were unable
to account for it, as there was nothing
on the track to cause the ear to leave
the track and the moterman was said
to have been running carefully at the
time.
Gregory and DeVillier Is the place
where the North Hill ears make a turn
and it is customary for the nlotormen
to run the cars slowly at this point.
An examination of the track failed to
find anything which might have caused
the ear to leave the track and il seems
that instead Of making the curve the
car split the frog, where the curve is
made, and went straight ahead across
the pavement and into the store
The accident caused n considerable
amount Of excitement in the neighbour
hood and two or three hundred people
gathered around the wrecked car in a
few minutes.
No effort was made to move the car
until after II o'clock last night when
the cars stopped running.

TRIBUNE HAD A
STORY ABOUT
c. F. & A. ROAD
NEW YORK PAPER SPEAKS WELL
OF MEGARGEL'S PLAN FOR
BUILDING RAILWAY FROM PEN
sAcoLA TO JASPER, ALA.

The New York Tribune recently
contained the following on it's finan-
eial page!
News OF a new railroad, a small
part OF which is now in operation, has
been received, and its plans, as re-
ported, have been laid out with view
OF being ready TO take advantage of
the Panama trade which will be de-
Veloped on completion of the canal.
The idea of the new road is to afford
the quickest route to the gulf and
thence to Panama. Starting from Pen
sacola, the deep sea harbor directly on
the Gulf of Mexico, the road is laid
out to run nartherly in Alabama about
three hundred miles and to cut across
the Frisco, the Mobile & Ohio, the
Atlantic Great Southern, the Southern,
the Louisville & Nashville and the IL
linois Central. The terminal advan-
tages of Pensacola and it's nearness
oversee to Panama are claimed to be
the new railroads strategic advan-
tages for collecting traffic from those
other systems
So far there has been acquired sixty
four miles of track, between Local and
Cantonment, the latter town being
near the gulf. Between Cantonment
and Pensacola, eighteen miles, the line
is graded and steel is row being laid.
1t is expected that this part of the
line, in connection with the sixty-four
miles, will be opened for traffic in Oc-
tober of this year.
Small as is the portion Of the line
now operating, it is said that it is
earning its present fixed charges.
This fact is due in large measure to
the contracts for immense lumber
shipments which originated along the
line. Alabama, though a region OF
great natural resources, is poorly sup
piled with railways. During the roads
construction it is thought local traffic
will keep the line busy enough; on its
completion and after the opening of
the Panama canal the new railroad is
expected to occupy position ameng
common carriers of considerable i'm
portance.
Plans for marine terminals at Pen
saeola are reported to call for the most
extensive system of docks in the
south. A pier sufficient for the pres
emit needs of the road is now being
built. Contracts have also been let for
freight depot and passenger station.
That there is a great deal of local in
terest in this road is shown by an ar
ticle in The Pensacola Journal stating
that arrangements are being made by
the Commercial Association of that
city to celebrate the inauguration of
passenger service over the Gulf, Flor
ida e. Alabama on November / next,
in connection with the Interstate Fair
to be held during that week, the day
to be called Gulf, Florida & Alabama
Day"
