ADOLFO DIAz
 ID ABDICA7E PRESIDENT OF NICARAGUA Evl. DENTLY TIRES OF JOB OF RUL-
 ING REPUBLIC.
Asks for Three Months Leave Which Probably Indicates His Desire
 to Quit tine Job

New Orleans, Jan. 12. President Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua, has asked for a three months leave of absence according to adyices received here to- day from Bluefields, and report has it that this step means his abdication in favor of General Luis Mena, min ister of war and virtual dictator of the turbulent Central American re- public since the downfall of President Juan Estrada. For some time there has been serious friction between President Diaz and General Mena and during the past few months, Diaz, 1t is stated, has been president in name only. General Mena, it is said, is occupying the presidential palace, while President Diaz has been living in a less important residence in Man. agua.
 General Mena has absolute ccltro of the army of Nicaragua and of the congress at well. Recently he was elected president by the "eonstitu ente assembly for the term begin ming January l, 1903, but the friction between Mena and Diaz, it is alleged has increased of late to such al ex tent that the latter's friends are saic to have advised him 10 resign and leave the country ''for his health. General Mena is said to have forced President Juan Estrada out of office last year in much the same manner and Estrada is now making his home in New York.
 Prominent firms here declare the finances of Nicaragua are in worse condition today than at any time in the history of the republic, and the general unrest of the past several months has seriously retarded the commercial activities of the country At the existing rate of discount in Managua an American dollar has the value of s21 Nicaraguan currency
 As a result of this financial situa' ton and the general unrest through out Nicaragua, American firms have lost heavily, according to the advices and stocks of some of the big Mic araguan corporations, financed with American and European capital, are down 50 per cent and more in value from the quotations of two years ago

GOVERNMENT WINS
 IMPORTANT POINT
BOOKS AND LEDGERS OF DE. PENDANT COMPANIES soR-
 DERED INTO COURT.
Packer Attorneys Object to Their In- troduction as They Were Re
 garded as Confidential.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-An important point was won by the government to day in the prosecution of the ten Chicago packers, charged with crimi- nal violation of the sherman law, when Federal Judge Carpenter grant ed District Attorney Wilkerson and an expert accountant permission to examine the books of Morris and Company outside the sessions of the court.
 The books are the general journals and ledgers for the period between 1905 and 1910 and were produced in court by the chief accountant of the company The government wants to read into the record numerous entries in support of it's contention that the allowances made for by-products are inadequate and are part of the gen eral operating plan of the alleged combination.
 Counsel for the defense protested against the ruling of the court and insisted that the object of the gov ernment was search for evidence.
 They are going on fishing expe- dition for evidence said Attorney Buckingham, representing the Swift and Company group of defendants.
 If they want certain items. let the witnesses they have called point them out and have them put in eyi- dence. These books contain conf dential information and their exami- nation by the government should be limited to the purpose of this in- quiry.'
 "The books are the property of the corporation and not of the individua. defendants and I believe the govern. ment should be permitted to examine them,' said Judge Carpenter in rul. ing on the question. "The government will limit it's investigation to the subject of fresh meat and the dispo- sition of the by-products."
 H A. Timmins. chief accountant for Morris and Company, was on the stand when court adjourned

 EXPLAINING
ENDEAvoRs TO TELL WHY EACH LEGISLATOR OF ILLINOIS
 CAST VOTE FOR HIM.
Lengthy Recital of Lifelong Friend- Ships, of Neighborhood interest and Other incidents of Elec-
 ton as Senator.


 Washington, Jan, 12.--Senator LOT inner, continuing his testimony today before the senate Investigating conn mittee. undertook to explain the indi- vidua motives which caused los mem bers of the Illinois legislature to cast | their ballots for him. The aggregare of his recital was tong story Of boy hood friendships grown to power of influence in the party councils and pc lItical alliances, which had their in- ception with the frolieking of children at play in the streets of Chicaso.
 I've known that man all my life, probably since was 10 years old, and he had gone through some hard knocks himself and felt as if he want- ed to help someone else, who had been through it too. was one of tile answers he gave.
 Some of his explanations were homely stories of his political life sA years ago. before he became a nation- al figure.
 How did Nanny Abrams come to vote for you?" was asked
 Abrams is democrat and was called the bellwether because he led the vote on the roll call
 "why, many years ago. he was just beginning to be leader among his people in Chicago responded the sem ator s'and many of them coming as immigrants there tried 10 make q iiT- ing peddling on the streets. The IT. eense fee was S, lot Of money for a poor man in strange country. aifd he used to come to my house at uieht and ask me to help him. l used to get permits for them to peddIe until they made money enough to get out licenses. That was the start Of our friendsnip.'
 How did Jandus come to vote for you?" Jandus was another dsmoerat | .'T had done him many little fax0fs remember having got a job of so for a poor friend of his. suppose in my political life have got iobs for 5000 or 5000 men. bas don't remember all those little things In explaining the votes of others hs would say he lived in my neighbor. hood and sometimes may have done an unimportant favor for him." or i've worked together in politics for thirty years and our personal friendship was stronger than any par ty tie"
 The votes of other men. Mir. Lori ner explained by saying they were rnaterably opposed to Hopkins. were anxious to break the deadlock and get home. had received favorable rec ommendation of Lorimer from elsn' stituents. or they were anxious to give to him some substantial reward for his work in behalf of ahe pro posed Lakes to the Gulf waterway
 Lorimer had got about half way through the list of the legislators who had voted fer him when an ad- 'ournment was taken sHifssssis sHifsss Monday morning
 Earlier in the day the senator had made dramatic denial of any knowi- edge of corruption in connection with his election and in an equally dra- matic manner charged that Governor Deneen and the Chicago Tribune were fcswarding q conspiracy to drive him from the senate.
