COSTA RIGA SOLID
FOR T|NOCO, CLAIM

DR.. Carlos Lara, confidential agent
of Costa Rica in Washington, in an
interview, today said: 1.-The exclusion
of Costa Rica from the League of
Nations, instead of diminishing the
sentiment of the Costa Ricans in
favor of the government Of Mr.. IT.
noco, has united all the people with
him, and they have again unanimous
ly offered him their unconditional
support. This was naturally expected
from a COLLECTIVELY, as is the Costa
Rican people, which are formed Of
elements that know their duties, and
whose patriotism, on account OF this,
has rallied itself solidly together, for
the protection Of the national en-
blem, when they have seen their
country cruelty and unjustly insulted
by a powerful one.
"The popularity of Mr.. Tinoco has
not been injured in the least on &C
count Of Costa Rica not having been
admitted TO the League Of Nations, as
Mr.. Chamorro, the minister from
Nicaragua in Washington, has said
The contrary is the case, for the
reason that the origin Of the govern
ment Of Costa Rica is perfectly Iegiti-
mate, and is the result OF the free
ana spontaneous Will or the people
of the nation. In the election there
were no abuses against law and or
der, no use of force of any kind, nor
was it an influence, used from the
outside, that gave it's origin to the
actual government, presided over by
Mr.. Tinoco.
And 1 entertain the hope that in
my country the case will never pre-
sent itself for the exercise Of this
class Of influence in the interior
politics of Costa Rica, which must
always be, exclusively, a matter of
the Costa Ricans.
'I insist on stating that the in
yasion against my country has been
and is protected and stimulated by
the government of Chamorro, OF
Nicaragua, who now wishes to ignore
these facts"

COLUMBIA CAR LINE
IS TIED UP FOR HOUR

Traffic on the Columbia line OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, between Eighth and H
streets northeast, and North Capitol
and H streets, was tied up for an
hour this morning when the rail con-
ductor fell, following the burning out
Of a feeder" at the Washington street
power substation.
The tie-up occurred at 1898, and it
was an hour later before a repair
crew could get the line in operation.
Traffic between Eighth and He streets
and Fifteenth and H streets north
east and between North Capitol
street and the Treasury was not
stopped, and "trippers" were run be-
tween those points to handle the
early morning rush.

BUREAU OF MARKETS
 HELPS PROTECT FARMER

Another reason is found why the Chicago Butter and Egg Board want ed an investigation" of the United States Bureau of Markets, and why the cotton buyers and spectators at a recent New Orleans Cotton convention wanted the activities of the bureau confined to "educational" matters.
 A livestock commission firm operat- ing at the Chicago Union Stock Yards was found by the investigations of the United States Bureau of Markets to have overcharged their customers $20,O00 during 1918 on the feed given the livestock consigned to them for sale. This commission firm has been expelled from the Livestock Exchange and can no longer do business at the Chicago yards. As the firm is said to have handled over $30,000000 worth of livestock last year, the punishment will be considered severe by some people, but thief, stealing $20,000, would have been sent to the peniten- tiary.
 It is now in order for this commits sion firm to also ask that the United States Bureau of Markets be "investi- gated" or that it confne it's activities to educational" matters.-Progress i've Farmer.

The revival meeting now in pro- gress at the Nazarene church is being well attended considering the bad weather and the fact that this is on age when few people attend religious services.
 Yesterday at 2:30 p. m., Bro. Brant- ly delivered an address on the tithing system as he saw it in the holy scrip lures and the audience seemed ir absolute agreement with the teaching and expressed the kindest endorse ment of it.
 Several agreed to begin tithing who had not been doing so heretofore. The sermon last night was from Psalms 9:17, after which two seekers came to the altar.
 The pastor, Bro. Hughes invites all who will to attend these services which will be each day at 2:30 and 8:3O p. m.

CLENENCEAU FAILS
TO FORCE BALLOT
ONPEACE TREATY
French Premier Calls Pact One
Of Solidarity Between Allies
But Plea for Quick Vote
Gains Nothing.

PARIS, Sept. &c. (By the Associated
Press. )-PTemler Clemenceau delivered
MS long expected speech In the debate
on the ratification OF the peace treaty
N the chamber OF deputies yesterday
afternoon. The whole trend OF his argu-
ment In favor Of the treaty was that
the treaty was one Of solidarity be-
tween allies, while united in war, must
be- united in peace.
NJ, Clemenceau admitted that the
treaty contained many imperfections,
but said 1t was the elimination Of the
work Of the coalition of liberation
the flrst Of its sort In the history Of the
world. as the treaty was the dawn Of
new era. He recalled the dark days
OF 1917, and declared to the opponents
OF the treaty that IL a peace proposal
had been received then returning Alsace
and Lorraine to France no Frenchman
would have demanded the insertion of
any other clause. but would have ac-
The treaty brought back more than
the lost provinces; II placed France on
the highest pinnacle Of fame and honor,
and IN a few years would bring pros
perity.
Those who had spoken in the debate,
The premier pointed out, had, criticised
the details of the treaty, which must
be considered accepted or rejected as a
whole, whether the instrument was
helpful or harmful TO France, The
treaty was "the ensemble of poSsibili-
ties" which was worth what the future
ruling classes of France would make 1t
by their labor,
The premier's effort was tremendous.
He remained on the tribune for more
than two hours, Many times he seemed
to weaken, his voice becoming so low
as to be almost inaudible beyond the
Iirst row of government benches. But
ne waved off the advice from all quar-
tiers Of the chamber Of rest and
doggedly continued to display his in
domitable spirit. He passed lightly over
the criticism, which has been prominent
In the debate, that the French language
is not the. official language of the
treaty, saying:
TT is not my fault II the English Ian
guage Is spoken by nearly two-thirds OF
the civilized world"
The chambers apparent determine
ton to prolong the debate as long as
possible was not deferred by the pre-
mier's request for vote on the treaty,
for, while M. Clemenceau was speaking,
several deputies inscribed their name
on President Deschanel's list as partici-
pants in the debate. NJ Clemenceau
warned the chamber that If 1t refused
to ratify the treaty, it would make 1t an
instrument of death to France, while II
the chamber ratified the instrument,
France would become imbued with its
spirit which would mean the life and
resurrection Of the country.
The debate bids fair to run we'll into
next month, unless the government
forces vote or asks the chamber ia
cancel the privileges Of those who have
expressed their intention OF speaking
This the premier SENS disinclined to do
