Wayman Thought
He.Had Appendicitis.

Chicago, April 1S.-John f. Wayman,
former states attorney of Cook coun :
ty. who died, early today, from bullet
wounds inflicted by himself, several
hours before, had suffered for several
days under the delusion that he was
afflicted with appendicitis according
to DR.. Krohn, the family physician.
Certain that Mr.. Wayman was COM
ing to a nervous breakdown the APP
pendicitis scare was used as sub
terfuge to induce the patient to go IL
Excelsior SPRINGS, Mo-. for a few days
of rest.
He was told by the physician thai
this would be the best way to prepare
for the operation. He consented to go
and returned to his home believing
that he was to undergo the operation.
Up to the time he shot himself he is
believed to have thought that he must
submit To the knife within a short
time.
One of the most important prose-
cutions conducted by Wayman while
States attorney was that of Police
Inspector Edward Mccain on the
charge of accepting brides from west
side dive keepers. Mccain was among
several policemen and dive keepers in
dicted in connection with the investi-
CATION was the only one tried. He
was convicted and served a short term
in the penitentiary. Wayman waged
relentless and vigorous fight against
the police official and in doing so be.
came estranged from many of his old
friends.
One of the last acts of his admins
tration, last November, was to close
up the South Side levee district. He
caused all of the houses to be raided
and scores of arrests followed.

cony VS.. coburn Classical, Today.

Everything is now in readiness for
the game. at P. NJ, this (Satur-
day., between Cony High and Coburn
Classical Institute of Waterville. The
Cony boys have been putting in some
hard practice in preparation for this
game and should make creditable
showing. "chutter' Harvey, captain
of the team, will probably do the
twirlng with Mitchell, the old reliable
backstop, on the receiving end. Fer
second string pitcher, Brennan IS
capable of stepping into the game on
short notice and giving a good account
of himself. First base will probably be
occupied portion Of the game, al
least, by Clark, who played number
of games in that position, last season.
Although no lineup has been given out
by Coach Cole, he will undoubtedly
give a number of candidates a trial.

Associate Justice George NJ Hanson
has under advisement one of the oldest
cases ever before the Maine supreme
court. The city records of Rockland
show that on De. 13, 1862 Capt. AL
varado Moseley and Mrs. Ellen NJ. Sar-
gent were married by Rev. Charles f.
Upper, and that on Dec. 13. 1871, AL
varado Moseley and Mrs. Ellen H. Sar-
gent, now of Bar Harbor were married
by Rev. Charles F. Topper. The wom-
an claims she is not the Ellen NJ. Sar-
gent who married Moseley in 1869. but
married him in 1871, consequently her
marriage was illegal and she retains
her statu as the widow of Chas. l..
Sargent, soldier of the Civil War,
who died in 1868, and that she is en-
titled to back pay from ISL to 1906,
amounting To about $4,000.

hand, are collecting an export tax on

have been issued to increase tie tax from

said to be a prohibitive tax, and enforce

Inquiries made by the British Consul
at Tuxpan were lorgely responsible for
the sending OF Admiral Fletcher to the oil

The British Consul wired to the British

Of the oil properties. Minister Garden re-
ferred this to Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, who
reported it back to Washington. He was
instructed by the State Department to
deny the report. At the same time. the
suggestion that the conditions warranted
the landing of American forces for pro-

that II was deemed advisable to send Ad-

NEW MEXICAN CONGRESS
TAKES UP CONCESSIONS

Mexico City, Nov. 5.-The new Mexican
congress today took up the first OF the
several valuable concessions being sought
by European syndicates, when the de-
partment OF communications presented
to the Chamber Of Deputies concession
to a Belgian company calling for the
construction of 5000 kilometers Of rail-
road in various parts Of the republic.
The concession has a proviso that the
railroads will revert to the government
in fifty-two years Construction Is to
be begun Immediately on the granting OF
the concessions.
The concession was referred to the
committee on the transportation fomento
for consideration. 1t is expected that the
decision will be made in a few days. and
1t is possible that the concessions may be
granted this week.
The House of Deputies took up the
consideration of reducing by half the
members salaries. raised from 80 to 500
pesos a month under Madero. President
Huerta is known to strongly favor this
reduction and for this reason II will
probably be made.
The government is preparing TO send a
large number OF troops from here to the
Huestra oil district to protect wells and
property owned by foreign companies.
The town of Simojevla, state OF Chiapas
was captured today by u band of rebels

ELAYA AVOIDS ARREST
BY OFFICIAL IEAK"
Exiled Niearaguan President Wanted
on Assassination Charge,
Eludes Officers.

New York, Nov. 25.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Marshall and other Fed
eraI officials today made vigilant search
for Gen. Jose Santos Zelaya, the exiled
former president OF Nicaragua, whose
extradition on a charge Of assassination
has been demanded by his government.
During the day it became known that
Zelaya has escaped arrest through two
apparent Iapses OF off1ciaI vigilance, aided
perhaps by a "tip" or leak close to
official channels.
1t became known that the message from
the Department of Justice, ordering the
detention of Zelaya, although telegraphed
on Saturday, was not delivered to the
district attorney until Monday morning
Meanwhile, Zelaya, obviously warned,
had made his escape from his apartments
in the Hotel Hargraves, between mid
night Saturday and O'Clock Sunday
morning.
The escape of Zelaya was considered
the more remarkable because agents of
the local detective bureau, said to be
employed by the Nicaraguan government
are supposed to have been shadowing him
at the time
Today a difference of opinion prevailed
as-to the present whereabouts of the
former dictator. Some Federal ofiicials
professed to believe he had escaped to
Canada. Others insisted he was hiding
in this city, and his son. Calphonso
Zelaya, agreed with this idea.
