PROPOSED TREATY
WILL Be MODIFIED
Nicaraguan Agreement Would
Prevent Union of Central
American Republics.
RESULT NOT INTENDED
Secretary Of State Confers
With Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.

WASHINGTON, July 26--Important
proposed treaty with Nicaragua, by
which the United States would estab
lsh a protectorate over the southern
republic. 1t has been discovered that
by the terms OF the agreement origi
naLy outlined by Secretary Bryan,
Nicaragua would have been prevented
from ever joining with othc5 republics
to form single Central American
union
This was not contemplated by the
administration when the treaty was
proposed; and the suggestion has
created suspicion among other Central
American countries. At a conference
today between Secretary Bryan and
members of the senate foreign rela
tions committee, it was agreed that the
original draft of the treaty should be
changed, and definite statements be
included in the compact, providing that
1T should not stand in the wav Of any
future action Nicaragua might decide
to take toward Joining Central Amer
lean combination.
Asked by Nicaragua.
Secretary Bryan assured the com.
mittee today that the government was
making no direct proposals TO other
Central American countries for simi-
lar treaties. The Nicaraguan situation
was peculiar, he said, because that
asked for the establishment of an Amer
ican protectorate. In the case of other
countries the United States is "hold-
ing itself open' to treat with them,
if the suggestions comes from their
governments. The United States will
not adopt an aggressive attitude, Sec
rotary Bryan said, in attempting to ne"
gotiate any additional treaties.
The unexpected turn given to the
| Nicaraguan matter resulted from the
| fact that Secretary Bryan had incor-
| porated in the treaty the general terms
| of the so-called Plat amendment relat-
| ing to Cuba.
Drastic Stipulations.
Among other things, the treaty would
stipulate:
"That the government OF Nicaragua
| shall never enter into any treaty or
other compact with any foreign power
or powers which will impair or tend to
impair the independence Of Nicara-
qua
Another section would provide;
consents sa R thai the United i States nav
reserve the right to intervene for the
preservation Of Nicaraguan independ'
ence.'
The United States has no intention
Of preventing q Central American
union, it is understood, and will modify
the rigid language of the proposed
treaty to make this clear. The senate
committee proposes to go over the
treaty in every detail during the next
week, and will recommend number
of other amendments Chief among
these, it is understood, will be desig-
mated to protect the United States
against any obligation for the outstand-
ing debts Of Nicaragua, A further con
! ference with Secretary Bryan will take
| place on Tuesday.

No Decisive Battle.

After a fortnight Of rebellion the
northern or government forces have
had the better OF the fighting AT the
three main points of contact, namely.
Shanghai, Kiu-kiang and along the
Tien Tsin- -Pukow railway While much
has been expended by gun
firing lasting whole days, there has
been no decisive battle, which foreign
crs believe is essential to Provisional
President Yuan Shi Kai's ultimate sue
cess. The sizes OF the armies engaged
arc small compared to those. fighting
in the Balkan war. AT Shanghai the
northern troops on shore number 5000
while pitted against them are 1000
southerners. The army of General
Chang Hsun, which repulsed the rebels
above Su-Chow-Fu, numbers less than
5000 officers and men. The largest
northern army consists of probably
$4,000 to 10000 men and is now in the
province Of kiang-Si.

The damage to Encina flume has
been so far repaired that it was ex-
pected last evening that water would
be turned in today, making break
of but six days in the service, which
is better than was hoped for. There
has been some inconvenience among
the farmers, owing to the lack Of stock
water on some of the ranches, but it
is not believed the crops have suffer-
ed at all in consequence of the break.
The repairs that have been made
are of temporary nature, but it is not
believed the flume will cause trouble
again for a considerable period.
Now it is being planned to build a
steel flume to take the place of the
wooden structure, it being estimated
that this will cost about $4,000.

Tariff Bill Is
Effective Today
(By United Press Association,

Washington, Oct. 4-Congressman
Underwood warned the consumers to-
day that they must not expect lower
duties which go into effect today, fol-
lowing the passage Of the tariff bill,
to have much effect on the living for
several months, perhaps a year. He
said, "The goods the emrchants have
on the shelves now were bought on a
high tariff basis, and only competition
which the ne wlaw must cause, will
bring the prices down. Until the mer-
chants have disposed of present stocks
naturally they will not be disposed to
accept the new order of things. The
same is true of manufacturers. The
effect of the wool tariff will not be
felt until March and the full effect of
the reduction on sugar viii not be
felt for three years.

After Eight Days
Miner is Rescued
tBy United Press Association,


Centralia, Pa, Oct. 4-Thomas
Toshesky was released from the Con-
tinental coal mine at 1926 today, after
eight days of Imprisonment His res
cuers had displaced eighty
feet of solid rock and coal to reach
him. AS his rescuers broke into Tos-
hesky's little chamber he gave shout,
staggered toward them and fell.
Mine Inspector O'Donnell raised
him tenderly and physicians applied
restoratives. He quickly revived and
as he recovered Toshesky's eyes met
those of his wife. In an instant the
two were clasped in each others arms,
the woman crying and praying with
joy.
Miners here are streaked with gray
as a result of the trying ordeal.
With slight assistance from his vie
and O'Donnell he reached the surface,
entered waiting automobile and was
driven to his home.
Physicians pronounced Toshesky
much better physically than they ex-
pected and believe he will be in sound
health in few days.
When Toshesky reached the surface
blue glasses were placed on his eyes
to prevent the glare of the sun from
injuring them.
Scores of persons were waiting at
the mine throughout the night to see
the rescue. The final shift workers
began digging at IL last night and
were relieved at this morning, but

Secrecy a Lost Art

To keep the other fellow from
knowing what we are doing is job
compared to which the lady who tried
to sweep back the ocean had a sine
cure.
Secrecy is lost art, says the ed.
itor of the American Machinist.
1t is useless to go over the argu-
ments, real or alleged, for no matter
what we may think about it person
ally, secrecy, at the present time, is as
impossible in most shops as the fourth
dimension. There is a lot of good
energy wasted in attempting to pre-
serve secrecy in the shop and this is
undoubtedly true of the machine after
it is on the market. A recent oc-
currence showed the way in which
salesmen lost their heads and Incl
dentally customers. A visitor to an
exhibition evinced considerable inter
est in the machines shown and asked
a number of leading questions. Know
ing the attitude of the average sales
man he declined to give his name. 1t
was soon discovered that he was a
designer for a large machine builder,
with the result that he was promptly
invited to 60 elsewhere.
1t so happened that the manager
was broad and level headed, and he
proceeded to show the salesman the
short-sightedness Of his policy. He
explained how foolish it was to try
to hide anything about a machine
which was on the market and could
be seen, studied and even measured
in a dozen shops; how if the compel
itor really wanted to know, he would
buy machine and take it apart, as is
often done. He tried to make clear
the utter foolishness Of attempted
secrecy and the advantage of an in
terchange of ideas; how none of the
best shops had anything to hide ex-
cept new machines which We're under
development, and that they never hes
itated at taking anyone through the
shop, not even competitor.
If a machine will not beat the in
spection and criticism of competitors
it had better never see the light of
day, as they will find its weak Spots
anyhow, and not forget to mention
them, either. Secrecy in the great
majority of cases is unwarranted, un-
successful and goes hand in hand
with inefficiency. Those who fear
that others will steal their ideas sell
dom have anything which the really
up-to-date shops can use. And many
devices which are now jealousy
guarded were long ago abandoned by
others.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 4.-As reports
come in it is apparent that the dam
age by the terrific rain of the early
part OF the week will run high into
the millions.
With a blanket rainfall of eight Of
ten inches during the last seventy-two
hours the watersheds of the rivers
and smaller streams are pouring
their torrents OF water upon the long
and wide stretches of cultivated val
leys, bringing destruction and ruin
to many thousand acres of unpicked
cotton and ungathered corn and other
crops, devastating hundreds of towns
and small communities. The worst
flood conditions are yet to come.
Measured in dollars the losses oy
floods already aggregate more than
S5O,OOO,00O to cotton and corn alone.
In the Black Land country around
Temple, Taylor, Waco, Bartlett and
other portions OF Central Texas, fields
of oily partly picked cotton are under
water as far as the eye can see. Not
one-third Of the corn crop has been
gathered and the rain has caused the
stalks to fall to the ground, bringing
ruin to the grain. Estimates of prob
able cotton losses run from 100000
to 100000 bales, while probably 50,-
100000 bushels of corn have been
ruined.
From almost to the New Mexico
line ON the west to Louisiana on the
east. general flood conditions prevail.
