CRITICISM BY
SENATE DID It
Landing Troops on Fore.e s

War Say Experts.

Washington, Aug. 20. - Adverse
criticism of the state departments
Central American policy during the
closing hours of the late session OF
the senate, with intimations that an
American army would he sent to MIC
aragua soon after congress adjourned.
are believed by some officials here
to be the reasons 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
or bluejackets employed as a landing
force in a foreign country. But there
is public sentiment which invariably
associates the landing of soldiers
with actual warfare and perman-
ency of purpose. On the other hand
the marines and bluejackets are SO
frequently called upon for temporary
and exigent service as to cause httle
comment.
From a military point of view 1t is
said at the state department. the only
effect of the presidents action of last
night will be to slightly retard the
assembling of sufficient American
force in Nicaragua to insure the main
tenance of communication between
the American legation in Managua
and the warships at Corinto, seventy :
two miles away. 1t is not believed
that American lives will be in any
great danger for the next two or three
days. especially as the purpose of the
United States to use any necessary
amount OF force to accomplish it's
purpose was announced by Minister
Weitzel and is fully known to the
rebel leaders.
The navy's reinforcements are be-
lyinning to report their arrival in
Nicaragua. The gunboat Denver ar
rived at Corinto on Tuesday but the
dispatch to that effect to the navy de-
partment did not reach here until to-
day. Besides reporting the arrival of
the gunboat the dispatch said the
cruiser California yesterday was to
land about 400 marines and blueiack-
cts at Corinto and steamed to Pana-
ma to embark the $50 marines which

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.--Conditions

future at Chicago not only control the
cash wheat in this market, but they
own large quantities at many other
points. Stocks Of wheat are large.
but receipts are falling of and the
fact that the bull combination con-
trolls the cash and May gives them an
undisputed grip on the, market. For
several days past the May future has
been absorbed quickly around the
ninety-cent level. Those who have
taken care of this wheat as rapidly
as It was thrown overheard. have
refused to bid up for it. but have al
lowed those who were DESTROYS OF

possibilities unless the receipts from
the country should eclipse all expecta-

corn received at the leading Western
points today, which exceeded the week
before by 100000 bushels. but was
less than 100000 bushels larger than
the corresponding day last year.
Receipts OF oats continue fairly lib

bushels today, which was more than
double the receipts for the correspond

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
INCREASED sl37,OOO,OOO
And Debt of the State Will be
Wiped Out as Result of
This Action.

Kentucky's Indebtedness will be
wiped out in the next three years
and the burden of taxation lifted
from the people as a result of the
action of the State Board Of Valua-
ton and Assessment Friday in in
creasing more than $13i 100000
the assessment on franchises of the
railroads of the State. The State
will receive in taxes nearly $780,
600 more than was received last
year from this one source and when
the board completes the assess
ment of all public utility corpora
tons, it i sbelieved that these cor
porations will pay to the State a to-
tai of nearly one million dollars
more than they paid last year.
One result of the action of the
board Friday will be to do away
with Many necessity for any extra
session OF the Legislature to pass a
public utility bill or take some 9TH
er step looking to the raising Of
money to meet claims. The deficit
an now be wiped out without any
further LEGISLATION aud it is believ-
cd now that there will be no furth-
er talk o. an extra session.
The board which raised the cor
Dorations is composed of Thomas
Rhea, State Treasurer; DIR. c. F.
Crecelius, Secretary of state, and
Henry Bosworth, State Auditor.
1t is said that the action of the
board upon all matters considered
at the meeting, was unanimous.
The companies will now have
thirty days in which to present
their claims. arguments and cause
for a decrease, at the end of which
time the figures will go to the tax
duplicate. The board may, if 1t
sees fit, after hearing the represen-
tatives on the question, make alter
stions in the figures announced to-
day. but from it's final action there
is no appeal.
At the rate of fifty cents on the
500, this increased assessment will
produce to the State the sum of APP
proxlmately $6S5,OOO and. since it
is not likely that there will be a de-
crease to any appreciable extent
during the subsequent three years
of this administration, or for that
matter at any time beyond the life
of this administration, it Is figured
that the Commonwealth can be
freed of her debt and the burden
of taxation upon the people equal
lied.

CAPTAIN ALEX ROWAN
MET DEATH ON RIVER
Went to Watery Grave in a
Strange Accident-WeIl
Known Here.

Captain Alex H. Rowan, forty
seven years of age and one of the
best known river men of this sec
ton of Green river, was drowned at
IL o'clock Saturday morning, about
two and one-half miles above Liv-
ermore, near jamestown. His body
was recovered about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon.
Captain Rowan was the owner of
the gasoline towboat, Jolly Tom,

ahead of the boat, which was 60
ing down the river. The tow drift
ed against the bank and struck
some trees that hung out over the
water and Captain Rowan stepped
from the boat onto the raft for the
purpose of pushing it out into the
river. He stepped between two logs
in such manner that he was UNI
able to extricate his foot and the
raft was carried down under the
boat, with him on top of it. crush
ing and drowning him between the
raft and the bottom of the boat.
An account of the accident was
telephoned to Livermore and an
other boat was sent out at once.
The little boat was pulled off the
raft and the body of Captain Row
an was recovered and taken to his
home in greensboro.
For a number OF years Captain
Rowan had engaged in the towing
business up and down Green river
ard was a very popular man. Sew
eral years ago he was landlord of
the Commercial Hotel in Hartford
and was well known here. He is

WET-COUNTY UNIT NEXT

Lexington, Ky. April 1l.-After

doors for dispensing liquid refresh

We're held by persons in the town,
allowing liquor to be sold by the
quart, that the citizens, after watch
ing developments for some time,
decided that if liquor was contin-

should have some revenue, and at
the recent local option election the
town went wet by a decisive major
ity. The Council fixed the license at
$1,000 and to-day was set for the
reopening of the saloons.

declare that they have not surren-

session of the Legislature, which
they hope will make the entire
