NICARAGUA POOR PLACE FOR YOUNG YANKEES LOCATE

American Newspaper Man, Now in Richmond, Tells of His Experiences in the Land Of Insurrection. SEDGWICK'S CLAIMS DISPUTED BY TRUSS He Alleges That Nicaraguan Company Promoted by Local Capital Is a FailureWill Write Book. Conflicting statements relative to the alleged land of opportunity for young men Nicaragua have been made in this city within the last month. Isham Sedgwick, a coffee planter at Matagal- , pa, Nicaragua, and former resident of this city, who visited relatives here recently and who pictured Nicaragua as the land of promise, entertains an entirely different view of the country than Robert E. Truss, former editor of "The American," the only English publication in Central America, now a guest at the Westcott hotel. Mr. Truss has been a resident of Central America for thirteen years and is entirely familiar with all conditions there, at one time being a planter and interested in the investments in land In which local citizens own considerable shares. He says Nicaragua is not without its excitement when one practices American journalism. The editor and his staff have to spend much of their time dodging the bullets or knives of some hired assassin. Game Was Too Warm. The game became too warm for Mr. Truss he having had several fights prior to his exit from that country--that he sold his paper to the government, he says, at a good profit. He had devoted his attention in attacking the government for its graft and the Bluefields Steamship Co., tor its business management. President Zelaya. of Nicaragua, is known as a despot., and be does not particularly admire any one who has the nerve to buck his game. Such a thing as the removal of an enemy by death, Is not unknown to the chief executive of that country, Mr. Truss says. The Bluefields Steamship Co., he says, virtually controls the eastern part of Nicaragua and being also a dictator, hates to have its schemes exposed and opposed. Mr. Truss says, "Nicaragua Is a h of a country." Its characteristics an? not for the advancement of business morals or anything else which is enJoyed in the United States. The country is like the people, unadvanced and, in many respects, semi-civilized. As to its opportunity, it virtually has none, because of the despotic rule of Zelaya and the averice of the controlling business managements. Mr. Truss says It is criminal to advisa a young man to go to that country. He Only Hat Abuse. Mr. Truss has no good words for Nicaragua or other Spanish-American countries, and he has not finished with them as yet. He will write a book, in which he intends to expose the conditions there. After that he has not derided what he will do, but he is considering going back to Costa Rica, where the people are more civilized, better educated and more refined than in any other Central American country, he says. The local company, which was organized several years ago, for the purpose of growing coffee and tobacco, 1.3 having hard times, according to Mr. Truss. He was interested in thi3 company at one time and since leaving Nicaragua he has received a letter from a friend in which he states that the "Esmeralda," the first venture of the local company, has "gone to grass." In this letter, his friend states that it was recently sold to pay a small wage bill of the superintendent, a San Francisco man. Planters can barely make a living and nothing else, according to Mr. Truss. The government charges heavy export duty, also a heavy import duty. These duties are so excessive that capitalists are not making investments In the country, unless they can "get in" with President Zelaya. For some time past efforts have been made to raise funds in order to protect from the ravages of wind and weather and the encroachment of drifting sands the ruins of St. Piran's oratory at Perranzabuloe, said to be the oldest Christian relic of its kind in England. It is now proposed to build a protecting house of concrete around the ruins. If this protection is not forthcoming if Is probable that "the lost church," as it is locally known, will be again buried beneath the sands, which covered it for so many centuries. It is generally believed to be the original Church of St. PI ran, to whom the Cornish miners give the credit of first snowing them tin. and who was one of the most notable of the many Cornish saints.

John McCarthy, Railroad Store, Bulla Barber Shop, FAVOR AN INCREASE School Authorities Want the School Term Made Seven Months. WILL INTRODUCE A BILL School authorities of the different counties of the state are anticipating bringing to the attention of the next session of the legislature, a bill making the minimum public school term seven months. The present statute provides for six months school as a minimum. C V. Jordan, county superintendent, is in favor of increasing the school term, although such a law would not effect the schools of thi3 county, as none of them are operate! for less than seven months, the proposed minimum term. The agitation for a longer school term is general, and is finding favor especially in the southern part of the state. It is in this section of the state that such a law would generally benefit, as the district schools do not run for a longer period than six months as a rule. In Randolph county, to the north of Wayne, such conditions are general also. Where such condition exists, Is due to the fact that the taxpayers are opposed to the levy of a local tax. These communities endeavor to live off the school funds derived from the state. The funds do not warrant a term of school longer than six months, and accordingly, a local tax would be necessary under the proposed new law. MASON AND DIXON'S LINE. Commonly Known an the Line Between the North and South. Mason and Dixon's line between Pennsylvania and Maryland has been surveyed three times. The first survey was made bjr Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon between 1763 and 1767 at the instance of the Lords Baltimore, proprietors of Maryland, and the Penn family, proprietors of Pennsylvania. The line was 250 miles long. At the end of every fifth mile a stone was planted bearing the arms of the Penn family on one side and on the other the arms of Lord Baltimore. The intermediate milestones were marked simply with P and M. The first revision of the survey was made in 1849 and found, as did the last revision, that the original survey was substantially correct. Mason and Dixon's line, commonly known as the line between the north and the south, runs on parallel 39 43' 26.3" and should bo distinguished from the line of the Missouri compromise on parallel 30 30'. Mason and Dixon's line never had anything to do originally with the question of slave and free states, but achieved an accidental association at the time of the Missouri compromise in 1S20, when John Randolph in congress referred to it as separating freedom from slavery. After that it was commonly referred to in all controversies on the slave question. Youth's Companion. Fogg Weli, Clara. I boi heavily on the last game.

WILLING fO STAY. Ho Did Lova a Little Game, No Matter Where He Played. A man went to heaven, and after he had been there a few days he grew so lonesome that he told St. Peter be reckoned that he'd go down and take a look at the other place. ."But If you go down there you can't get back," said St. Peter. "Well, I only want to go just to look at the place." said the man, so St. Peter agreed to give him a return pass if he promised to be back along toward night. He agreed, took the pass and started off. When he reached his destination the first thing he saw was a party of old friends playing poker, but they wouldn't let him into the game because he admitted that be had no money. "Well, I'll fix that all right." he said as he left them and wandered off through one of the corridors. Pretty soon he came back and threw a big roll of bills down on the table and demanded chips. They all looked in astonishment at the size of his pile and wanted to know where he got it, saying that they would not play with him unless be told them. "That's all right." he said. "Give me the chips. I sold my pass." One Point Settled. A new family had moved into the house next door to the Townsends. and little Kitty Townsend on the back porch of her own home was cultivating the acquaintance of the little girl on the opposite porch, about ten feet away. "What's your name?" she asked. "Florence," answered the newcomer. "What's yours?" "Katherine. but they always call me Kitty. The name of the folks that "TOU FOLKS DON'T IX THAT, tK TOC?"' lived there before you moved in was Jones." "Our name's Thomson." "Ours is Townsend. You didn't know the Joneses, did you?" "No." "They was awful for borrowing They used to send over to our house once or twice every week and borrow a cupful of coffee for breakfast, and they never paid it back. You folks don't do that, do you? "No." "She says they don't, mamma." called oat Kitty, turning her bead and speaking to somebody back of the dining room window curtain.

Red Cross Stamp Campaign

The Christmas stamp bureau of the American Red Cross society opened at Indianapolis in Room 24t of the Federal building yesterday morning and the campaign for the sale of stamps began. The bureau will give its time during October to organizing a selling force throughout the state and hopes to enlist the efforts of organizations and individuals who are interested in philanthropic work. Last year the Indiana branch of the Red Cross had clubs and individual agents for the stamps in about eighty cities and towns and the club hopes to increase greatly the number that the stamps may be placed within easy FR&Nnon MAKES SHERIFF A HAPPY OFFICIAL (Continued From Page One.) Sheriff Meredith i3 the happiest man in the citv. The hand shake which he gave Townsend when he entered the court room was like that of two long separate'! brothers. Townsend, in describing it said that Mr. Meredith had his "lips hooked over his ears." In describing his escape Townsend said that he was unaided by any one and that the impulse to escape came upon him as he was standing; in the doorway bidding his grandmother goodbye. He said his escape through the house was as described in the papers. He "Kids" Officers. In speaking of the search of the officers for him. Meredith, the Pennsylvania detectives and the police came in for much "kidding." He said that after jumping from the second story window, he went to his father's barn and that on several occasions Mr. Meredith was within arm's reach of him. He hid in the barn for a half hour or more and then departed, spending Wednesday night north and west of the city. Yesterday he spent under cover in the river bottoms. Last night he slent in the river bottoms south of the city. At no time was he a greater distance from the city than a mile and on Wednesday night he found much amusement watching the police searching freight trains. Learning that the trial of his companions was to take place this morning he started for the court house. He rode into the city on a C. C. & L freight. Patrolman Vogelsong and Pennsylvania Detective Burns saw Townsend start across the court house lawn. Vogelsong told Burns to go around one end of the court house to head him off. He started after Townsend and saw visions of a fifty floating before his evs. Townsend beat him to the court house, however. Is Guarded "Heavily." Townsend went into the offices of the county recorder and county audijtor and looked around, expecting some one to grab him, but was not recognized. He finally wtnt to the sheriffs office. The sheriffs office was vacant and so Townsend went to the circuit court room, where he met Sheriff Meredith. He entered the court room at 9:2 o'clock and remained in the custody of three officers until 10 o'clock when he was taken to the county Jail. An effort was made by the authorities to obtain a further confession from him. However, nothing new was learned in regard to the burglary, Sunday night, or of car robberies, of which he is suspected. Towasend has sworn that this is his last difficulty with the authorities. He expects to take up electrical work at the reformatory. When asked as to why he committed the burglary te remained silent.

reach of all who wish them. They do not pay the postage of a letter or , Christmas parcel, but carry a cheery greeting from the sender. The use of the stamps is timely through November and December, including New Year's mail. A new stamp will be used this season and the bureau intends to make its first order for one million. The proceeds from the sale of stamps goes into the Red Cross fund for fighting the white plague. Two thirds of the amount raised in Indiana will be spent in this state and the other third will go to the national treasury of the Red Cross to combat tuberculosis in other parts of the country. he replied that he did not but that he knew it was so easy, and being Influenced to commit the deed, by Earl Graham, be submitted to the temptation. He says that. Graham is responsible. He said that he would like for Graham to be in the same cell with him so he could put Graham through the key hole. Bids 8weetheart Goodbye. One of the sad features of his departure from the court room was the bidding goodbye of his sweetheart, Miss Madaline Laugel, a 15 year old girl. He held her hand for several minutes but said nothing except goodbye, which was audible to court house attaches. In discussing the return of Townsend several of the officials stated that he was induced to do so by friends. Townsend denies this. Townsend says that he has not seen his father since he made his escape. His father was at Eaton, today. Charles Loftus, the fifteen year old boy who was implicated in the Commons robbery, Sunday night, was before Judge Fox this morning and admitted his guilt. He was sentenced to the reform school at Plainfield and will be taken to that institution soon. Loftus made no further confession than that obtained and published earlier this. week. He still maintains that he received but 50 cents for his share in1 the work. Townsend also says that this is all he paid him. Otto Peters and Frank Laugel were also in the circuit court awaiting trial for alleged petit larcenies. Neither were tried this morning. Peters was released on $100 bond, furnished by his father, until Monday morning. His father has also engaged the services of John F. Robbins to defend him. Peters is charged in the affidavit of stealing a pair of shoes and the trousers which he is wearing. Mr. Robbins says he has evidence that will show these articles of wearing apparel were purchased. Fi-st Aid. The fiance of a Louisville girl was spending the winter in Florida in connection with his father's buslnss interests in that quarter. "Marie." said the girf to a frier d one -'.ay, "Waiter has just sent me the dearest little nllirator from Florida!" "Dear mo!" rejoined Marie, with affected enthusiasm. "And how shall you keep him?" "I'm nt quite certain." was the reply, "tut I've put him in Florida water till I esn hr further from Walter." Harper's Weekly.
