Sec. KnOX'S Central Ameri=
can Trip Very Gratifying,

San Jose, Costa Rica, March IA
Secretary of State knox's tour to the
Central American republics in the in
terests of international amity is pleas
ing him immensely
Panama received him with unanimity.
Before the secretary arrived in Pana-
ma, word had gone out from the Aro-
semena camp that the United States
government favored the reelection of
their leader and on the morning that
Mr.. Knox arrived at the capital an
interview with Arosemena appeared in
the local press in which he said in
substance that the visit of the Ameri-
can secretary of state indicated that
the United States desired that Pana-
ma should elect a president who was
the real choice of the people and that
he was satisfied that the real choice
of the people was himself.
Thus the secretary of state was con-
fronted with a very general feeling
that in some way the United States
reserved right to influence Pana-
mas political affairs. Conversation
with men in and out of the govern
ment, natives and foreigners, showed
plainly that this feeling was the one
weak strand in the tie binding the
United States and Panama.
The first address of the secretary
went far to dispel this. He made it

STATE OWNERSHIP

ments Of Maine Capital.

I'VE believe the State should develop
| the balance of her water power as
needed and let it to industries located
and TO be located in Maine, at a price
that would make it possible to operate
industries at d cost as low or lower
than the same work can be done for i'll
Maine declared Hon James Denahue
OF Rockland, commissioner of sea and
shore fisheries, in his report for the
committee on industries presented at
the preliminary meeting. Thursday aft
ernoon, at the Augusta House of the
Maine 1920 general committee.
I'VE would then have an inducement
in fact and it would not be necessary
for municipalities to build plants and
let them free of rent or to abate taxes;
and your committee on new industries
would have the handicap removed I'M
der which they are now working This
is subject that comes under our COM
rnittee on conservation and develop
ment of water powers and wild lands
and our hope is that they will be so
successful that when 1920 arrives they
can report that the State of Maine
has water power to lease to manufac
turers of all kinds at very low rates
and that Your committee on industries
will be able to report at the first meet
ing in 1920 that there has been 100 new
industries started in the State in the
last fiscal year"
!. G. Gerry of Sanford of the same
committee reported upon the POSSIBLE
tiles OF agricultural industry in Maine.
He stated that il was an established
fact that there is practically no land
in Maine that cannot be made to show
profit if properly handled: that is,
every inch of Maine land has a COM
mercial value. which is figured out en-
tirely on the basis of its earning ca
paeity when properly developed. The

the smaller towns or communities and
liz a great many instances, the State,
was cited by him as one of the evils
which injured agricultural develop
ment. His solution of this problem was
for the state of Maine to offer induce
ments equal to or better than other
states. so that the young man can go
into college, knowing that if he leaves
there properly qualified in one of the
various departments of agriculture as
an expert he can find right here in his
own State opportunities for using
those talents at d remuneration equal
to that of the professions or other sci
ences The farm would thus be raised
to a sufficiently dignified and paying
proposition to make it attractive as a
life work to the young men and women
of Maine. Farming is Names BUSH
ness; encourage Names people to do
Names business in Maine for Maine
and it people," said he. in conclusion.
A feature of this meeting of the
1920 committee was the pledgng by
State Master Stetson of the 10000
members and 500 subordinate and Po-
mona organizations of the Maine State
Grange to any movement in connec-
ton with this committee that would
better the condition of Maine.
II. NJ. Blanding of Bangor, secre-
tary of the State Board of Trade, in
reporting for the committee on re-
sorts. stated that his committee had
sent letters to a great number of own
ers of property identified with sum
mer resort interests and said that the
Good Roads movement would greatly
advance the interests of the summer
resorts He also spoke in favor of the
movement originating in York eoun-
ty for uniform school laws in New

terEational relations and not the in
ternal affairs of the republics visited.
Apparently the effect was excellent
and government officials and politi-
clans on the outside who had not
spoken together for weeks bantered
each other good naturally at the
functions where they were thrown to-
gether and as committee men worked
tremendously to make the visit of the
secretary and his party personally en-
joyahle and profitable from a diplo-
matte standpoint.
In Costa Rica there has been a very
general belief that the United States
is determined to bring about union
of Central American republics. This is
not admitted officially, but one cannot

minutes without receiving this impress

the effect of this sentiment on the re-

WHOLESALE MURDER
IN VIRGINIA COURT.
Entire Human Fabric Of Tribunal Wiped
Out by ASSaSSinS--- brothers and
Friends Of Prisoner Open Fire as
Judge PronounCes Sentence.

Hillsville, Va, March IA troop OF
mountain outlaws rode down out of the
Blue Ridge, today, to the Carroll coun-
ty court house, here, and assassinated
the judge upon the bench, the prose
cutor before the bar and the sheriff at
the door in less time than it takes to
tell it. while sentence was being pro-
nounced upon Floyd Allen, one of their
NUM- Der.
When the crack of the rifles died
away only one member of the human
fabric Of the court-DeXter Goad, the
clerk-was alive, and he had been
wounded. Jurymen and onlookers We're
struck by flying bullets, but none was
wounded seriously.
Tonight the outlaws with Il good
days start are up in the mountains,
with a citizens posse, little organized,
making Semblanee of pursuit. Sher-
ifs and deputies from neighboring
counties can not reach here before
early morning. a special train, to-
night, from Roanoke, brought 20 de-
tectiVeS to GalaX, the nearest railway
station, nine miles away. 1t will be
midnight before they can get over the
mountain roads. 1t probably will be
daylight before officers can be assem-
bled. A reward of $1,000 for the capture
OF the band. made today, by Gov.
Mann, was increased, tonight, to $4,000.
The Governors proclamation states
that 5000 will be paid for Individual
members of the band, taken dead or
alive.
Capt. f. W. Devant of the I'd Vir-
ginia Regiment, has been ordered to
come here with two men, 90 rifles and

Government Hands One
To Sugar Trust.
Steals One Of DetenCe's Coun-
sci and Makes Him a Witness.
Tells About the Si,250,000 Cash
Loan to AdoIph SegaI.

New York. March 1.-THE govern
mert surprised the defence in the trial
of the Sugar Company magnates, to-
day. by carrying away one of their
number who it forthwith placed on
the stand as it's own witness. United
States District Attorney Wise did this
wnen he obtained from Judge Hand the
dismissal of the indictment against
Thomas Is. Harmed. attorney for
Adolph Segal. the Philadelphia capt.
talist, in the transaction whereby the
American Sugar Refining Co. obtain
ed control of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Co.
Counsel for the defence protested
against the procedure, but we're over
ruled. After Harmed himself had de-
manded and obtained the consent of
the court that the record be made to
show that not only had the Indictment
been quashed, but that he stood ac-
quilted of all charges, he went immedi-
ately on the stand under subpoena as
a government witness.
The reason why the government de-
sired Harned's testimony became APP
parent when Mr.. Wise questioned him
concerning a visit he paid to SegaPs
home i'll 1903, when the late Gustave
+. Kissel. who is alleged to have rep
resented II. o. Havemeyer in the ST.
250,oo0 loan to Segal. was present.
The witness said that at this meet
ing kissel said to Segal: Il can get
you enough money, but on three con-
ditions That you must not care where
the money comes FROM that it will be
enough to tide YOU over, and that the
bonds and stocks of the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Co be put up as coll

WAS anything said at this meeting
about closing the new Philadelphia Re-
finery?" asked Mr. Wise.
