He Preferred Digging In the
Ground to Money

By F. A. mitchell

When Henry Robson lost his wife he
was left with one son, Louis, fourteen
years old. Robson was Of very prac-
tical mold regarding the production
and accumula ton Of wealth. the chief
end of man. Having made fortune,
this ambition was succeeded by SINH
lar object. He would bring up his son
to take his place at the head of the
great manufacturing concern of which
he was the principal owner and man
ager. He preferred that Louis should
not go to college, entering instead into
business at that age when young men
enter upon a university career, but he
did not insist upon this. arguing that
while what boy learned at college
was rostly worthless he lived there in
a community which was preparation
for the larger world which he was
later to enter.
But before Louis was prepared to
enter college his father married again.
His second wife was widow with a
daughter eleven years old or three
years younger than her stepbrOther. No
sooner had the marriage taken place
than the wife began to study how she
could divert her husbands fortune
from Louis to her daughter. She could
only think of it. however. for her hus-
band was bent on his fortune passing
from his hands to those of his son.
She worried her daughter with her
schemes till the poor child was quite
worn out with them. 1t was Edith,

The girl knew we'll that this refer

whole matter. and since she was too
young to think in a mercenary way OF
the future she did not enter into her
mothers plans. But by not doing SO
she unintentionally helped the matter
for her stepfather saw through her
mothers plan from the first. and it was
plain to him that Edith was disturbed
by it. Moreover. he took naturally to

Washington. Dec. AT the state
department today the zelaya case was
considered closed and the former dc
tator's release in New York was ex-
pected by nightfall. with an agreement
that he would return to Barcelona.
Spain. Zelaya will not be fully re-
leased, however until the formal ratif-
cation of that agreement Is received
from Nicaragua and the former presi-
dent will be under observation until he
sails for Spain. Dec. II.
The international tangle over the
presence in the United States of J.
Santos Zelaya, former president of
Nicaragua, apparently agreeing to re-
turn to Barcelona, Spain. whence he
came to Now York q month ago.
This agreement came as the result
of day of conference at the state de-
partment between Solicitor Folk and
counsel for both Zelaya and the Me-
araguan government. In promising to
leave the country, Zelaya stipulated
that he should have ample time to
transact some important business mat
ters.
lntrigues Are Barred.
Speaking with his counsel Cory NJ
Stadden, over the long distance tele-
phone from New York, Zelaya said
the next boat from New York to Bar
celona did not sail until Dec. II. and
said he thought he could finish his
business in that time.
State department officials insist that
when the deposed dictator departs he
60 direct to Barcelona and that in the
interim he enter into no political in
trigues involving Nicaragua.
This arrangement proved agreeable
to Charles A. Douglas, counsel for
the Nicaraguan government in the ne
gotiations that have followed the ar
rest In New York.
Upon Mr.. Douglas advice General
Chamorro. Nicaraguan minister here,
cabled the Nicaraguan foreign Office
suggesting the cancellation Of that
governments request, now In the mails
for extradition of the former president
for trial for the alleged murder Of two
of his countrymen at Massaya, In
April, 1901.
Zelaya, from the outset, has main
tanned that the offenses alleged against
him were political and that upon hear
ing he could prove that the two mur-
ders alleged against him were COM
mitted at different times and dates in
Nicaragua and without his knowledge.

Juarez. Dec. 2.-Rather than endure
starvation. the federal troops have
evacuated Chihuahua City which has
been under siege for weeks, according
to advices received last night by Gen.
Francisco Villa, the rebel leader. The
evacuation leaves the city open to pos
session by the rebels.

Besides being the caIttal Of the
state. Chihuahua with q population
normally Of 81. 900, is the metropolis Of
northern Mexico. Neither in the Ma

commanding positions for sharpshoot-
ers and machine guns, afforded by the
cathedral and public buildings hereto

sisted. It was believed that fight in
the city would have resulted In great
loss Of life and property.

Conditions in the city were said to
be such that life there was no longer
endurable. The Spanish viaduct which
conveyed water from the mountains
was reported to have been destroyed

Appeal Court Sends Mckeretl Case
Back to Lower Court For Retrial.
Cincinnati. Dec. 2.-The Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad won a victory in the
circuit court of appeals here today
when the MoKerell case was ordered
back to the district court for retrial.
The case was appealed from the deci-
sion Of the district court In which the
heirs of Thomas McKerell, OF Chilli
cothe, O., were given Judgment for
$500, 900 against the railroad for alleged
breach OF contract.
The contention was made that the
railroad after entering into contract
to haul McKerell's coal from mines In
West Virginia, entered the Goa! mining
business itself, and used all its haul
ing facilities to haul its own coal.
The case was sent back because the
court believed the amount OF damage
awarded was speculative.
