of the United States in it's relation
with revolution torn little neighbors

poses all the Central American re-
publics win find means of valuable
cooperation.
When the American minister called
upon the government of Nicaragua to
protect American life and property, the
minister for foreign affairs replied, that
the government troops must be used to
put down the rebellion, adding In con-
sequence, my government desires that
the government of the United States
guarantee with its forces security for the
property of American citizens In Nicara-
qua, and that they extend this protection

I'm this situation the policy of the
government of the United States will be
to protect the life and property OF its
citizens in the manner indicated, and
meanwhile to contribute its Influences in
all appropriate ways to the restoration
of the lawful and orderly government, In
order that Nicaragua may resume its
program of reforms unhampered by the
vicious elements, who would restore the
methods of Zelaya."
The communication closed with de-
nunciation of Gen. Mena, leader or the

PREYED ON MIND.
Suicide, by Gas, of G. C.
Morrison, Baltimore.
Brooded Over Alleged Connec-
lion With The Racing Bill.
Promlnen! In Business and Charges
Toe Much to Bear.

Baltimore, Nd. Sept. 17.-George C.
Morrison, president of the Title Guar

mitted suicide sometime, last night,
in one of the private rooms at the
Baltimore Athletic Club
The report TO the police says that
Mr.. Morrison ended his life with gas,
which he inhaled through a tube.
Mr.. Morrison was about 40 years
old and married. He occupied a con-
spicuous position in the business and
political affairs of Baltimore and
also was prominently interested in
horse racing.
He left a note explaining the deed.
The coroner took possession of il
and while refusing to make all of it
public at this time, he said that the
dead man referred to the newspaper
publicity given to his interest in the
race track at Havre De Grace as one
reason for his action.
The portion of the note given out
said:
Il am in trouble only to my God.
He knows whether it is just for the
lf-saorificing work of years to be
set at naught by the onslaughts of a
yellow newspaper against which there
is no defence"
The suicide of Mr.. Morrison came
within few days of accusations
made by Governor Goldsborough that
Mr.. Morrison and other leaders of
the business and social life of Har-
ford county, had made misrepresenta-
tiohs concerning the Hartford county
racing BILL In a public statement
Governor Goldsborough said that
