KNOX AND PARTY
 AXE IN SALVADOR The Visit to Honduras Was Very Satisfactory on
 the Whole

Aeaiutla. Salvador, March 1o.-The American Secretary of state, Philander c. Knox, and party arrived in the re- public of Salvador today. The cruiser Maryland reached here this morning from Amapla Honduras, and the Sec retary later proceeded to San Salvn- dor.
 The visit to Honduras. which lasted over Friday and Saturday, was marred somewhat by the fact that it was found impossible to proceed to regn- clgalpas, the capital A party of IS prominent citizens, including members of the cabinet. the chief justices and members of parliament, came to Amap- ala from Tegncgal lpas, a round trip or five days by mule, in order to have luncheon with the American secretary. This function was held in the custom house.
 The President of tile republic, Gen. Nuel Bonilla, who is seriously i'll. was unable. to be present, but sent cor dial message. The minister of foreign affairs, Mariao Nasquez, eulogized President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt, Eihu Root, the ex-Secretary of state, and MT. Knox. The secretary in reply said:
 "Honduras always will be the key Ito Central eicah5 peace 'he united states has always stood ready to as, sist in any proper manner the promo. tion of peace in Honduras The de . sire of my government is 10 promise a better mutual understanding and tt frown down baseless suspicion"
 Secretary Knox expressed himself as well pleased with his reception He gave a luncheon on board the Mary land Saturday for the Honduran guests
 Secretary 1<nox was appraised of the ac- ton of the United States Senate on the arbitration treaties, but declined to make any comment whatever.

EUGENE \. GRACE
 RESTING EASILY No Developments in Myste- ri0us Shooting of the
 Atlanta Man

Atlanta, March 10.-Eugene H. Grace,
 the young business man who charges that
 his wife drugged and then shot him at their home on Eleventh street and then
 left him to his fate, passed good day
 today, but indications are that the pre- liminary hearing of Mrs. Grace, set for
 next Wednesday, again will be postponed.
 He is rapidly regaining his strength, but the bullet, which is believed to be lodged
 near the spinal cord, has not been re-
 moved and he is still paralyzed below the
 waist. After five days work on the case the police tonight are no nearer solu- tlon of the mysterious shooting than at the beginning. No motive has been att | trbuted to Mrs Grace other than an alleged effort to get insurance money. On l the other hand Mrs. Grace holds to the theory that the shooting was done by a | burglar, but so far this has been un- substantiated.
 | Mrs. Grace, who broke down completely 1 yesterday on receiving news that her | husband intended bringing suit for di- vorce, is beginning ito show effects of 1 the strain of the past week. She is prac- | ticaly isolated in her confinement at the county jail without friends or acquaint-
 ances in Atlanta. On instructions of her counsel she has presistently declined to | discuss the case other than to repeat her asz7si e issse fov .1efs ftsfa 'ssand
 k The arrest of J Is-s Bowles. a former l employe of the Grace-Lawrence Building l company last night. on a misdemeanor l charge was at first believed to have some 1 connection with the Grace shooting, but l the police insist the warrant on which
 he was held had no connection with the l shooting.
 1 Bowles knew the Graces intimately and | in discussing the case today declared his belief that strange and outside influ- ences'' had suddenly turned Grace against his wife His attitude toward his wife was marked by it's lovingness and affec- tion," he said. Grace and his wife spent
 hours at time going ovei plans for a lovely home they intended 10 have built 1 in the Druid Hills section and both were 1 enthusiastic over their prospects"

 SHORTAGE 0F COAL
Outlook in Foreign Fields Indicative of Other
 Strikes

New York, March 1o--It Is said that over S,0O00G0 tons of coal are being engaged for delivery In New York this month and that on many orders pre- miums of from 75 cents to sl ton are being paid. Large users of fuel are said to be buying all the coal they can get even at the premium. It was denied that thero was any in side in- formation from either the coal miners or operators as to the prospect of a strike over the demand for increased wages but that the stocking up was merely precautionary measure.
 Waldenburg, March 10-The lower Silesian mine owners, in compliance with the demands of all the organized miners in the district, have decided to increase wages to the 1908 scale, the highest ever paid
 The increase becomes effective April 1. Tie demand of the men was for a 15 per cent increase and the employ CTS action meets the demand part way, with the result that the men probably will continue at work.
 Essen, Rheinish Prussia, March 1o.--. A strik throughout the Rushr region was overwhelmingly voted today at a meeting of delegates representing the three coal miners organizations. Tho Christian unionlsts who were not rep. resented at the meeting hisve issued a protest against the strike but IL ,rs said they will approve the demand for increased wages and may eventually join the movement. gn
 Eighty different meetings were held in the various mining districts Much enthusiasm was manifested and ths men enthusiastically favored a fight 10 a finish with the employers.
 The official notification of the pro posed strike appeals to the miners to be law-abiding and strictly avoil liquor.
 The strike in the Ruhr district it is an- nounced, will become effective tomorrow
 Sewlckau. Saxony. March 10.-Fifteen hundred miners met today and decided to present an ultifnatum to the mine owners eH Tuesday. respecting demand for an increase of wages, which has already been refused by owners

WHY NOT ELECT
WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub'

ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME

for a Generation, and Must 30 Low
cred

The Chicago Post. an influential In
dependent Republican newspaper, pro
pounds this question to Republicans
why not Wilson,
This question is addressed particu-
larly to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
large part OF the Republicans g.
well?
Why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson Is thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only in the
accident of birth, but in his every
ideal, impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement OF ev-
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson is tried and
Trustworthy executive. His brilliant
record az governor OF New Jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an emlnently
sane and sensible man. He is an emf
nently honorable man, He has digni-
fed every place which he has held
He has performed a splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out OF the riot OF mudslingins
with which Roosevelt began 1t.
In every personal characteristic,
fGovernor Wilson is equipped to be
any mans president, without regard
to whether that man Is Democrat or
Republican. What then, OF his po-
litical qualifications?
Governor Wilson is, and always has
been, sensible Democrat, but he Is
not and never has been a silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for honesty
and efficiency in federal administra-
ton. SO do all save those who profit
by graft and inelficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curblng of trusts and monopolies So
do all, except monopollsts and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for a
prompt and steady downward revision
OF the tariff, SO do rine-tenths OF the
people Of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes In a more
radical tariff revision than do a large
number OF the rank and file OF Re
publlcans. But Governor Wilson Is
the only candidate who II elected will
permit the revision of the tariff at all
The tariff has been to high for a
generation. Is 1t not better to take a
chance at getting 1t too low-accordiug
to Republican standards-than to let
the known frauds OF the present re-
gime continue for another four years
to rob the public?
why not Wilson? He will give an
honest, dignlhed a capable admins
tration. He will respect the constitu-
ton. He will see that the tariff is re-
vised downward. He will curb trusts,
He will serve the people

From 1907 Upheaval.

The enemies Of Democracy are max.

curing howl-they are predicting hard
times If Woodrow Wilson ID electt
president ON Democratic tariff rev.
sion platform.
The Republicans are claiming all
credit for present prosperity,
A glance backward will be worth
while at this time,
Every panic since the Civil wcr
originated and developed under Re-
publican rule,
The Republican campaign textbook
of 1904 devoted much space to the
many business disasters occurring from
July, 1893, to November, 1894, intend
ing the public to attribute them to the
Inauguration OF President Cleveland
in March. 1893 But the Republicans
fail to refer to the fact that the Re-
publican tariff law was in force dur
ing more than twelve OF the sixteen
months OF greatest business disasters,
This fact must be remembered--tha
Mckinley tariff bill became law
Oct. 6, 1890. and the hrst indications
OF the 1898 panic were seen Nov. H.,
1890, scarcely more than thirty days
after the Mckinley law was passed
and the panic reached it's worse stage
in 1893 and early In 1894. during
which time the Mckinley law was In
full force.

1t may be recalled, too, that the
panic of 1873 under Republican ru!s
and in period of twelve years of high
tariff taxation, was most disastrous.
1t continued Ave years, 100000 WORK
ngmen were thrown out Of employ
ment and bankruptcy ran riot.
In 1890 the Mckinley high tariff BIZ
was passed. and there were 1915 J
failures, followed by 1884 In 1891.
rhe tariff was raised to nearly 90 per
cent, but wages stood still or de-
cined while the cost of necessaries
advanced.
The most serious labor troubles in
the history of the United States have
occurred under Republican high tariffs.

Some Lessons From 1907.

The Republican panic of 1907 fur
nished another forceful refutation OF
the Republican claim that Democratic
administration and hard times, lower
tariffs and panics have been co-eX
listing.
In 1907, in the midst Of prosperity,
thousands of leading banks, with hun
dreds of millions on deposit, suspend
I'd cash payments The trouble began
as a result OF struggle between
great New York financial institutions
for business.

said:
