HONDURAS TREATY DENIED.
No Secret Agreement. Says Consul.
General Miralda.

Or. F. Mirslda, Consul-General OF
Honduras in this city. yesterday issued
a statement in which he denied the ex-
istence OF a secret pact between Hon
duras and Salvador and asserted that
President Bertrand OF Honduras had al
ways been in accord with the policies OF
the United States. The story OF the Sc
cret treaty between Salvador and Hon
duras, with the object OF merging the
two countries, Is, according to Dr. NJ
aida, the invention Of political oppo-
nents OF President bertrand to try to
injure his chances Of reelection next
October.
The Consult General pointed out that
Honduras had declared war against
Germany under the influence of the
United States, that practically all the
capital invested in the development Of
the country is American and that Presi-
dent Bertrand himself owes his position
to the action of Presiden: Taft in giving
the Bertrand faction American support
after the revolution OF 1911.

the University OF Maine. In Orono. were
the storm centre on yesterday morning
OF the most exciting episode In the his
tory Of the university. the climax of
which was the application to the Court
ney brothers OF thick coat OF molasses
and feathers.
The Courtneys' who are said to be
South Americans. are not negroes. but
half or quarter breeds and are said to
be men of means. They have been in
disfavor with the student body of the
university because of their domineerlng
manner and i'll temper. and when at
two o'clock in the morning a group OF
freshmen started to haze them rather
more than the usual energy was In
jected into the proceeding.
The Courtneys barricaded their doors.
but the freshmen broke in and tried to
clip the hair OF their intended victims.
This enraged the brothers. who armed
themselves with a hammer, and actually
fought their way through the haxers and
fed. In the melee three of the freshmen
were painfully injured by the Courtneys.
The news Of the fight brought about
100 students to the scene. They went to
Old Town and captured the fugitives.
AZ the students were about to board a
train and take them back to the univer-
sity with halters about their necks they
changed their plans. A fire was made,
inolasses boiled to the consistency of tar
and applied, with a liberal coating of
feathers, to the naked and shivering
Courtneys, who then were made to mako
the best of the situation.
Such a commotion was raised that
the Bangor police and Sheriff Feran-
deg were summoned, and the Sheriff
made a swift ride to Orono Just in time
to see the students dispense into their
dormitories. No arrests were made, but
It Is said that the Courtneys will insti-
tute criminal proceedings against the
ringleaders.
The college officials have made extraor-
binary efforts TO keep the hazing from
the newspapers. as always Is their prac-
tice. and the entire story is not yet be-
come public.
1t is said by residents OF Orono. in
GLIDING one clergyman. that the ele-
ments OF a race and religious war are
dscernible in this and other disturb
ances at the university. The Court
neys were assisted by a friend to divest
themselves OF the molasses and feathers.
They have left the college.
