OPPOSE NICARAGUA TREATY.

Washington, D. C.-Developments
of the past week make it apparent
in spite of the chorus of approval
that first greeted the Nicaraguan
treaty, proposing an American pro-
teCtOrate over the Latin republic,
that the treaty will not be ratified
by the Senate without bitter strug-
gle. This opposition to the basic
principles of the treaty broke out in
the Committee on Foreign Relations
this week, and when the committee
arose the prediction was made by
several Senators that the treaty
could not be ratified as it stood, and
could hardly, under any circum-
stances, be ratified at this session.
The Committee on Foreign Re-
lations has always prided itself on
being non-partisan, and the opposi-
ton to the treaty so far declared is
equally distributed between the two
parties. Senator Borah, of Idaho,
a Progressive Republican, and SEN
ator William Alden Smith, of Mich
igan, regular Republican, in their
opposition to the treaty are joining
forces with Senator Clark, of Ar
kansas, the President pro tempore
of the Senate, and Senator Williams,
of Mississippi-bOth Democrats.
Though Mexico was hardly men
toned at the meeting of the COM
mittee, it is not unlikely that the
imminence of danger in that coun-
try and the possibility that interven-
ton might Immediately follow any
anti-American outburst there has
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-08-07

added to the vigor of the opposition
to the Niciraguan treaty. When the
treaty was first proposed to the COM
mittee by Secretary Bryan, Mr..
Smith, of Arizona, Democratic
member of the committee, at once
said that intervention of the kind
proposed should be first tried out in
Mexico, where the need for a re-
stored stability was SO much more
obvious Mr. Smiths declaration
does not reflect the views of his as
sociates, but it has called pointedly
to their attention the deductions
that may be drawn from the Amer
lean policy in Nicaragua and ap-
piled to the American policy in Mex
leo. And this connection between
American relations to the two coun-
tries was emphatically asserted in
Senator Borah's denunciation of the
proposed Nicaraguan treaty as a
plan to carry the flag of the United
States from the Rio Grande to the
Panama Canal.
"The Democrats, said one Sena-
tor, "have for many years been as
sailing Republicans for Americas
foreign possessions. Now in this
treaty their whole policy is reversed.
From Government that does not
represent it's own people it is pro-
posed to buy up that peoples birth
right for 100000. And the
scheme looks to the policing of all
Central America. The Bay of Fon-
SEGA, which we would take over I'M
der this treaty, washes the shores
of Nicaragua, Honduras, and Saliva
dor, with Costa RIGA but days sail
away. A naval station there would
permit the navy constantly to SUI
pervise the conduct of all Central
American countries without the de-
lay of sailing from anywhere. The
navy would simply look out of it's
own back door,
Though only about one-fourth of
the membership of the Committee
on Foreign Relations have declared
against the treaty, that one-fourth
will be able to block report for a
long time to come, while a little in
crease in that proportion on the floor
of the Senate would be enough to
prevent the treaty from getting the
needed two-thirds vote.-New York
Times.

mento bar. He and Diggs irlmedi-
ately set about to defeat justice by
corrupting witness. Diggs wrote
an appealing letter to Miss Warning
ton under an assumed name, urging
her to stand by certain agreed
story he had drilled her in while in
Reno. The letter is in my possess
sion.
''Then he and his attorney, Mr..
Harris, met at the latter's office.
They called on the telephone Miss
Nellie Barton, q most estimable girl
of about eighteen years, whom they
knew to be a very intimate friend of
Miss Warrington. They told her
that if Mr.. Diggs should be convicted
Miss Warrington would also go to
the penitentiary, and asked her if
she would be willing to assist Miss
Warrington out of that danger by
taking a message to her.
Harris and Diggs drew diagram

upon Miss Barton that she must have
Miss Warrington testify that the two
young women slept in one room and
the defendants in another; that the
girls purchased their own tickets;
and, on Mr.. Harris's advice, she was
to swear at the trial that she could
not remember who paid for the Pull
man reservations, as she regarded
that immaterial and it would look
better to cOncede something and not
make it look too strong
'The grand jury has indicted Har-
ris and Diggs for conspiracy to SUBJ
orn perjury.
"The friends of the defendants are
rep rted to have stated repeatedly
that they could easily fix the case;;'
that they had too much money and
too much influence at command to
cause them to worry. This seems
to have come principally from the
Diggs end of the case.
NO one in this part of the State
has brought forth such universal
condemnation; TO case has aroused
the sense of public decency or called
forth such bitter structures from the
press of California. The press, pub
lie and bar of Northern California
are giving the Department of Justice
more vigorous support in this case
than any other this Office has ever
undertaken.
Il, of course, have no means of
knowing what appeals or representa-
tons of fact may be made to the de-
partment at Washington, but I sin
cerely trust that I may be permitted
to Immediately submit this case to
trial jury"

CaLnlneIIl ana DlsSs'
THE defendant, Diggs,
was a draughtsman in the office of
the State Capitol at Sacramento. He
is married and has two young chill
dren.
But a short time before the &C
ticns hereinafter narrated was in
volved in a forgery charge, and for a
long time, by common repute, easily
substantiated by evidence, he main
tanned what has been denominated
as a private harem' at his rooms in
a downtown block in Sacramento.
Here, according to charges laid be-
fore me, he enticed many young wo-
men to go to serve his immoral pur-
poses.
"Camir ETH was his bosom COM
panion. The defendant, Caminetti,
has vicious reputation for seducing
young girls, and I have shocking in
stances which / can produce to es-
tablish this fact.
1.-The two girls in question, both Of
whom are about nineteen years Of
age, come of most respectable fam
lilies Marsha Warrington is the
only daughter Of the agent Of the
Santa Fe Railroad. Lola Norris is
the only daughter of retired bust
ness man of Sacramento.
after going with the young wo-
men for some months the two de-
PENDANTS, who had determined to en-
tice the girls away from home and
take them to another State, began
systematic campaign of coercion and
inducement to get them to fee the
State with them.
Their Stories to the Girls.
"They told the young women that
Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti had
found out about their relations and
had procured warrants for their ar
rest from the Juvenile Court and
were only awaiting the appropriate
time to serve them; that Mrs. Diggs
and Mrs. Caminetti were relentless
and intended to expose the whole
matter, and that the families of the
girls would be disgraced and ruined;
that the only way to save the girls
from disgrace was to secretly leave
the city and go to another State,
where they would acquire resi-
dence, the men would divorce their
wives and marry the girls, &c.
"The young women were in absO-
Lutte terror. They repeatedly ap-
pealed to the defendants to allow
them to remain at home and not to
disgrace them, and begged to be al
lowed to unbosom their indiscre-
tions to their parents and have their
advice.
Cup to this time, according to the
uncontradicted evidence, Diggs had
been unduly intimate with Miss War
rington for few weeks; the Norris
girl had never been violated before
this trip to Reno.
con arrival at Reno they were as
signed to bedrooms, Diggs and Miss
Warrington occupying one room and
Caminetti and Miss Norris the other.
According to the testimony of the
young women, they were wholly in
the hands of their male companions.
They had never been away from
home or their parents before and
felt that they were powerless to save
themselves.
Appealing to the men to know
what was to be done with them, the
young women were told that their
ruin was complete; that they would
not desert them, but that the young
women were to continue to live with
them as their mistresses, and that
they would take them to Salt Lake,
where they would go into a house
