BONILLA DENIES
 ALLEGED PLOTS
Is Not Engaged in Revolution Said to Be Brewing in
 Honduras

New Orleans, January 1S.-Persistent re- ports that pr. Policarpo Bonilla, former president of Honduras, is involved in a revolutionary plot to overthrow the ad- ministration of Gen. Manuel Bonilla, who assumes the presidency of Honduras next month for the second time. was vehem- ently denied by the former president to- day, just before his departure on the steamer Preston for Belize, British Hon duras.
 Dr. Bonillas family took passage on the same steamer for Puerto Cortez, Honduras
 "The fact that l am sending my fam fly to Honduras" said pr. Bonila, "is proof of the faith which I have in the continued preservation of the present peaceful condition in my country and of my confidence in the existing govern ment."
 Dr. Bonilla will remain in Belize sev. eral days and expects to return to New l Orleans next week. He denied any knowl l edge of the numerous recent shipments of arms and ammunition through New Orleans and Mobile to Belize, and ridi. eulted the rumors of an impending revo- lutionary movement against Guatemala and Honduras.

SEIZURE OF SHIP
 ANNOYS FRANCE

Paris, January 1S-France is beginning to show considerable annoyance concern ing the seizure of the steamer Carthage by Italian war vessels. If is asserted with emphasis that the arrest of the vessel was entirely unjustifed as aeroplanes were not mentioned in the list of contra brand articles furnished to France Dy the Italian government at the outbreak of the war. The conference in London in 19O9 also declared that aeroplanes were only conditional contrabrand and not liable to seizure when found on neutral vessel unless it was proved that they were ln- tended for the enemy.
 The aeroplane which was found on the Carthage was purely for exhibition flights in Tunis, Egypt and Greece, while the por- tlons of an aeroplane also seized were for purposes of repair
 Another principal raised is that the Carthage is mail steamer-the seizure Of which was violation of the Hague agree ment of 1907.
 The French parliamentary group for the promotion of international arbitration a, meeting today voted that incidents like the Carthage affair establish the necessity for bringing the Turco-Italian war al au end. The meeting adopted a resolution to ask the Government to intervene to stop the conflict.
 dispatch to the Ec1aire from Rome says private teegrams received late last night from Caglari say the steamship Carthage has been released and has sailed for Tuns

DISMISS OFFICERS OF CHICAGO FORCE Result of the Investigation Growing Out of Graft
 Charges

Chicago, January 1S.-Police Inspec- tor John Wheeler, Capt. Patrick J. Harding and Iieuts George Prim. Dan Tel T. Klecher and John B. Enright were ordered dismissed from the serv- ice today after a hearing on charges of inefficiency, incompetency and collus- ion with vice
 Wheeler is the third police inspector to be dismissed by the city civil service commission since it began its investlga- ton into the efficiency of the police de- partment. Six police Heutenants nave been removed, one other captain has resigned and one patrolman has been ordered off the force.
 The present crusade against efficiency in the department grew out of open and apparently "winked at" gambling near the arena where George Hacken- schmidt and Frank Gotch wrestled for the worlds championship last Labor day. Citizens complained and newspa- pers took up the cry that police and vice had an understanding profitable to both.
 Five other inspectors remain and the council has cut off from its budget pro- vision for their retention after January 20 Chief of Police McWeeny now is
  captains and lieutenants will be in charge and responsible directly to the chief.
 During the hearings it developed that orders from the mayor to Chief Me Weeny were lost, overlooked or misun- derstood in transmission through the grades of commanding officers and many were never applied. Conscientious officers testified they were hampered by contradicting orders from the men "higher up" and responsibility was passed.

PREVENT APPEALS
 TO PROGRESSIVES
Germany Fails to Form Coalition of All Non-Socialist Parties Against
 Socialist Candidates

Berlin, January 1s.-Following the fail ure of governmental efforts to form a coalition of all non-socialist parties against the socialist candidates in the second ballots, which are to be held from January 20 to January 25, the semi official Nord Deustche fills it's columns with a series of vervent appeals to progressives. It calls upon them to disregard any party orders and to save the fatherland by voting against the socialists.
 The governments anxiety. as to the result of the election is extreme and well founded. A complete breach has occurred between the radicals and con servatives with their allies, the centerists. The desire of the latter party to wreals vengeance on the radicals at any cost, in eu possibility will throw Il seats formerly held by radicals into the socialists hands. The national liberals are giving their support to the conservatives and center parties against the socialists.
 The second ballot will be held as fol- lows: T on January 20; 80 on January %, and 34 on January p.

 APPEAL TO GERMANS
Protests Against Erroneous Interpre- tation of Treaties With England
 and France

New York, January 1s-Dr Ernest Richards. president of the German Amer ican Peace society, and chairman of the peace committee of the National German American alliance, issued today an appeal to German-Americans protesting against what he styles the erroneous interpreta- tion of the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France.
 He denounces as preposterous and in- sincere the contention that they propose an alliance with the nations named and argue that inasmuch as a similar treaty between the United States and Germany is held in abeyance until the Senate's at titude toward the pending treaties Is ascer- tained this ought 10 remove all hesltancy on the part of the German Americans in urging the Senate to ratify the treaties as proposed by President Taft.
 If the Senate fails to ratify the other treaties. he says, the United States will be eliminated. probably for many years, from any active participation in the arb- tration movement in which heretofore 1t has held undsputed leadership.
