Sad sIahts In M.xleo

| saw beggars everywhere in MexA
co, many OF them ranged alongside the
church soliciting aims from worshipers
or from passersby. I saw the signs al
ignorance and general depravity. !
saw wounded men and suffering won.
en-. But the worst thing that saw
in Mexico was little six-year-old bow
badly crippled, who was compelled ia
walk on his hands as well as his feet
because his legs weren't strong enough
to support even his frail little body
He looked like toad, but his face was
gentle and sad. He had big black eyes
that seemed to search ones soul. DC.
casionally he would stop as he crawled
along the street, and look at his torn
fingers and hands-the streets wers
made of gritty little stones that cut
his flesh. If only somebody had pro-
vided him with gloves! But this was
Mexico. Nobody seemed concerned
about this little fellow He wasn't a
beggar He made no appeal for money,
He was just little boy who needed
friendship. But "of such is the king

U. S. TO SELL WARsHIPs
President Wilson Given Authority to
Dispose of Idaho and MissIs-
sippi for $f1,75o,ooo.

Washington, June 24--Authority
was given President Wilson by the
house to sell the two small battle
ships Idaho and Mississippi for the
total actual cost Of their construction.
Under this authorization the money
realized from the sale of the two bat
tleships must be turned into the treas
ury for use in the construction of one
battleship of the dreadnaught type.
The cost of the two small battleships
was about $11,750,000. The total
cost of a battleship of the first class
is about $15,000,oo0 AS the senate
has passed the authorization of sale
of the Idaho and Mississippi, the, house
action insures the authorization this
year in the pending navy appropria-
ton bill of three battleships of the
first class.
Mr.. Vouros, the Greek charge, and
Rustem Bey, the Turkish ambassador,
issued statements about the battleship
purchase Mr.. Vouros insisted the bat
tleships were necessary to Greece to
prevent war with Turkey.
Rustem Bey said: ''The contention
that the sale of the two battleships
will restore the naval balance between
Turkey and Greece and prevent hos
tilities between the two countries is
faulty If the two American battle
ships come into the possession of
Greece before Turkey gets her battle
ships it will add. to the considerable SUI
periority Greece enjoys over Turkey"

Examiner Says Auditor Brady Knew
Condition of Chicago
institution.

Chicago, June 24.-The LaSalle
Street Trust & Savings bank was in
solvent last January.
It's officers knew it.
State Auditor James J. Brady knew
it.
By April matters had gone from bad
to worse and the banks condition was
hopeless.
It's officers knew it.
D. v. Harkin, bank examiner, and
Frederick Porter, chief clerk in the
state auditors Office at the time, rec
commended to their chief that he close
the bank.
William Lorimer and G. B. Munday,
president and vice-president of the
bank, went to Springfield to see State
Auditor Brady They begged for more
time to "straighten things out"
Against the advice of his aids Brady
granted them more time.
The crash followed
This in brief was the story related to
the grand jury by D. v. Harkin, bank
examiner, the man who closed the Lori
mer-Munday bank. He supported it
with two reports and other docu-
mentary evidence.
One report was the one he made in
January, concerning the Lorimer-Mun-
day institution.
The second was the one he made fol-
lowing the closing of the bank

SHIP WITH 1891
ON BOARD WRECKED
Steamer Belgian Goes on Rocks
in Dense Fog.
ALL PASSENGERS ARE SAVED
Two Vessels Rush to Scene of Acct
dent and All on Board Disabled
Craft Are Rescued--Boat May
Be Total Loss.

London, June 24.-Still another
wreck of large liner in fog has to
be recorded. Late in the afternoon
news came from Bishops Rock light
house off Lands End, that the Belgian
Red Star Liner Cortland, 1900 tons,
bound from Montreal June IL to Rot
terdam, with 1891 passengers, had
struck on the ugly gunner rocks in a
dense mist. The steamers Ascanius
and Montezuma went to the ships as
sistance and almost simultaneously a
message from the Scilly islands re-
ported that the steamer Lyonnesse
was towing lifeboats to the scene.
Passengers Are Saved.
At $40 D. M, as the fog lifted some
what, the rescuing steamer Lyonnesse
sighted the Cortland fast on the rocks,
with bad list to starboard. The
Lyonnesse got as near to the liner as
the nature of the rough coast would
allow, and the lifeboats towed to the
scene quickly took off all the passen-
gers.
The Gothland was badly damaged,
and all her attempts to launch her
own boats proved hazardous, owing to
the heavy sea that swept over the
reef The first boat fell from the
davits into the sea ano was smashed.
The occupants O. the boat were
thrown into the water, but fortunately
St. Mary's lifeboat was nearby and
rescued all of them, although a stew
ardess was nearly drowned.
Ship Maty Be Total Loss.
The Gothland is reported so badly
damaged that the seas will flow in
and out of rent in her hold as the
tide rises and falls, and it seems there
can be no other fate for her than to
become total wreck. She has q
feet Of water in No. i and No. holds.
The captain, officers and some of the
crew remain on board and st. Mary's
lifebcat is standing by.
Tourist Liner in Collision.
Hamburg, June 24.-The Hamburg
American tourist steamer Kenigen Luz
Use and the German passenger steam
er Cobra were in collision. Both were
damaged. The passengers were land
ed safely. The stem of the Koenigen
Luise was smashed in and it's fore
peak is broken. The Cobra, which is
steamer Of 412 tons, belonging to
the Hamburg-American line, was bad
ly damaged amidship.
The collision occurred at the regatta
at Cuxhaven. Both vessels had on
board crowds that had gone out to
watch the races, and a catastrophe
was narrowly averted. The shock of
the collision was so severe that sew
eral of the passengers on the Cobra
were thrown to the deck of the Koe-
nigen LuiSe.

The attack on the board of health
by the mayor and his henchmen in the
council was the best recommendation
that body could have. Every health
officer and every board of health that
does it's duty may expect to be the
objects Of severe criticism and the
best indication that sanitary rules and
regulations are being strictly enforced
is such an attack as was made upon
the board at the council meeting Mon
day evening. All of us believe in the
Strictest enforcement Of quarantine
regulations theoretically, but it is an
exceptionally good citizen who does
not claim that exceptions should be
made in his favor when the rules are
applied in his own case, and the board
that can perform all Of it's duties with
out stirring up more or less opposition
Is an exception. AS general rule the
board or the individual who has no op-
position is not accomplishing much.
The present board of health took
charge of a city where the so-called
enforcement of sanitary rules and
quarantine regulations had been a
farce for years and it speaks we'll for
The general good sense of the commune
W that it has been able to accomplish
so much as it has with as little real
opposition as it has encountered.

The system Of packing the council
chamber with au audience instructed
the cheer loudly in favor Of any meas
ure to be brought up on the floor is
not working very well these days.
The majority Of the present council
does not appear to be much influenced
by hooting and yelling by the audi
ence nor are many of the aldermen
easily scared. They have pretty good
idea of what should be done in any
given case and proceed to do it re-
CARELESS of any outside influences and
it is becoming more evident every
meeting that it does not do anybody
any good to have his cause backed by
a vociferous lobby. 1t is a poor coun-
Gil to try to bluff.

TOLD NICARAGUA
TO REFUSE PACT
Minister Tells Senate Germans
Seek to Stop Pact.
SAID PRICE WAS TOO SMALL
Chamorro Also Asserts American FLAG
Is Floating Over Presidents Pal.
ace and Has Been Since
Marines Landed.

Washington, June 24.-Senor Cha
MORO, the Nicaraguan minister, told
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tons he had been informed that promi-
nent Germans in Nicaragua, acting pre-
sumably unded instructions from Ger
man diplomatic sources, had advised
the Nicaraguan government to refuse
to approve the pending treaty with the
United States. They claimed the re-
public was disposing of its concessions
for too little money and said Germany
would pay more
U. s. Flag Over "White House."
Minister Camorro also made public
the interesting fact that the Stars and
Stripes we're floating over the Nicara-
guam White House and had been float
ing there ever since the marines had
been sent to Managua. Explaining this
incident, he said that when the marines
reached Managua they were quartered
in the official residence. the president
moving elsewhere. In that way the
flag was run up over the White House
and is flying there today.
What do you think of the plan of
keeping these American marines in
Nicaragua" asked Senator Pomerene
of Senior Chamorro.
The American marines were landed
without the request of the authorities
of Nicaragua, but there has been no
request that they be withdrawn, so far
as I am aware, and I do not believe
such request will be made" Senior
Chamorro said
Marines Prevent Revolution.
The minister said that in addition to
unfolding the government by prevent
ing revolution the marines were pro-
tecting the national abroad, upon
which New York financiers have
loaned the government funds.
The more this witness was Ques-
toned, the more evident did it become
that the political as well as the fnan-
cial affairs of the little republic we're
being controlled by the United States.
He said that former Minister George
A. Weitzel sat with the council in
Managua upon the approach of the ma
tional election. That council deter
mined who the candidate was to be.
The man chosen by the council was
the present president, Adolfo Diaz, who
received a majority of all votes cast,
with not more than ten or twelve per
cent of the people voting.
The Nicaraguan minister said he
knew of no opposition to the proposed
treaty on the part of the people of the
republic.
Secretary Bryan has informed the
committee that Costa RIGA and Saliva
dor have protested against the ratifi-
cation of the treaty with Nicaragua.
He intimated that the interests of
these two countries could be pur-
chased by the United States.

SCOTT FIRST IN LINE.
Republican Candidate for Sheriff Takes
Out Nomination Papers Today.

Thomas S. Scott, republican candi-
date for sheriff, was the first Of the
candidates to get formally into the
campaign and early this morning he
took out nomination papers to be cir
culated in every town in the county.
The taking of papers by Mr.. Scott was
no surprise to the politicians as his
candidacy had been announced some
time ago. The second papers to be
taken out were for the denomination
of County Clerk Russell Fl. Jones and
they are being circulated in the town
of Paris. With the first papers in cir
|culation it is certain that other eandi-
dates will follow suit just as rapidly
as they can get their papers into the
hands of their friends in the various
towns.

The orders of the chief Of police re-
garding the premature celebration of
the Fourth have had a good effect.
Occasionally an explosion is heard,
but there is none Of that continual fir
ing that marked the approach of the
Fourth in other years. The "safe and
sane" idea has, of course, had much
effect in decreasing the preliminary
firing, but the certainty that the orders
of the chief were "meant" and that
arrests would follow any premature
celebrating has had much to do with
cutting down the usual noise and
danger.
