GEfJ. GRANT TALKS ABOUT NICARAGUA

Says If Zelaya's Statement Is True, U. S. Has No Recourse Under Law. EXECUTIONS DISCUSSED ARMY OFFICER 8AYS IF GROCE AND CANNON FOUGHT WITH REBEL8 THEY FORFEITED PROTECTION A8 AMERICANS. (American News Service) Chicago, Nov. 27. General Frederick Dent Grant, commanding the department of lakes and stationed in Chicago was much interested in the cablegram that President Zelaya of Nicaragua sent to W. R. Hearst explaining the execution of the two Americans, Cannon and Groce. Gen. Grant, after listening to the cablegram declared that if the facts were as stated by President Zelaya he was acting within his rights as president aB covered by international law, and that there was no grounds io action by the United States. "If Cannon and Groce were acting as belligerents and had joined the revolutionary forces then they had, by that act, placed themselves without the protection of the United States and under the protection of the revolutionists," said Gen. Grant. Gives an Example. "The same theory applies to theni that applied to prisoners in the revolutionary war and the same theory would apply to anyone. If I joined either side, for example, in a war between two European powers, let u3 say, then I would forfeit my right to protection by my government. "Of course I don't want to he understood as saying that it is the customary action to take with prisoners of war executing them nor do I want to be understood as declaring that the government has no recourse in the coses of the women. "I would be contradicting what I say, and the facts stated in the message from President Zelaya to Mr. Hearst." BIG GRAND JURY OF THE COUNTRY (Continued From Page One.) man Murphy of Missouri, "directing the speaker to appoint a committee to investigate the conduct of Judges Smith, McPherson and John F. Phillips in the freight and passenger rate litigation in Missouri, and to investigate generally the conduct of John F. Phillips as a federal judge." Inquiry into the expenditure of the executive branch of the government is now in progress under the supervision of the senate committee on expenditures. It has special reference to the distribution of appropriations for river and harbor improvement, in which It frequently has been charged ihut tremendous sums of money have been wasted. WANT HIGHER WAGES. Conductors and Trainmen Preparing New ScheduleOne of the most Important labor convent ions of the year was held In Boston recently, that of the eastern association of geueral chairmen of the joint boards of arbitration and adjustment of the conductors and trainmen on the seventy-four railroad lines and systems east of the Mississippi river, north of the Chesapeake and Ohio lines and Including eastern Canada. The convention decided that the time was now opportune for a general demand for a substantial Increase in wages and equalization of the working hours on all the roads. Now some have nine, eleven and twelve hour day schedules. A straight general ten hour schedule Is wanted. The western association secured such a workday several years ago. The eastern association considered following that action at Its convention last year, but It was passed up. as the time was not considered the proper one owing to business and traffic conditions. The eastern men are lower paid but do heavier and more important work than the western ones, it was stated. The main proposition, as to whether the men will enforce the request by a strike if necessary, goes to a referendum rote at once. The new executive board and the general officers of the two big brotherhoods will meet about Dec. 1 at some central point to canvass the vote and. if the main question is sustained, to decide upon the date for the enforcement and notify the management of the roads concerned. It Is stated that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers are contemplating similar action, so that the move for shorter hours and higher wages will be a concerted one by all four of the big brotherhoods, which include every man of their lines n every road, it is stated.

SHE HAS VANISHED

Young Cincinnati Stenographer Has Mysteriously Left Her Home. WARRINER CASE BLAMED Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 20. Miss Ida Brockway, stenographer and bookkeeper in the office of Frank Couden, auditor of the United States Surveyor's department, is reported to be mysteriously missing. "I believe the Warriner case is the reason for her disappearance," said Couden. Absolute mystery surrounds the departure of the government stenographer, and so far as known, no one in Cincinnati has any idea of her whereabouts. Ida Brockway was the companion of Mrs. Jeannette Ford Stewart, the woman in the Warriner case, who was indicted yesterday. CLASS CONTEST A CAUSE OF TROUBLE Seniors and Juniors Step Into Freshman-Sophomore Arrangements. MUCH DIPLOMACY SHOWN TWO SENIOR CLASSES COURTING THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE TWO LOWER BODIES TUG OF WAR TOMORROW. The Freshman-Sophomore class contest which is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, became a contest between the juniors and seniors today. The two upper classes at Earlham have, together with the faculty committee on student affairs, made all the arrangements. Since, however, it has been customary for the seniors to stand by the sophomores and the juniors to assist the freshmen, each of the upper classes have been fighting for supremacy in the committee meetings. They are supposed to represent the views of each of the lower classes. What the Reason Is. The juniors and seniors hope to have a contest of some kind later in the year and each class wants the support of one of the lower classes. Accordingly if the juniors assist the freshmen so that that class wins in the tug of war tomorrow the juniors can count on good support, from the freshmen and the senior-sophomore classes have the same plan. . The upper class committee will meet this afternoon and the final plans will be made. The tug of war across the pond in the rear of the college will begin at 3 o'clock. Dr. L. F. Ross and Dr. Charles Bond, two members of the alumni, will act as referees. The classes will contest for forty-five minutes. Plants That Mimic Stones. In South Africa there is found a plant of the genus Mesembryanthemum, growing on stony ground, which so closely resembles a pebble that it is Invariably taken by the stranger to be a stone. Another species of the same plant growing on the hills round the Karoo produces two leaves about as large as ducks' eggs, having a surface resembling weathered stone of brownish gray color, tinged with green. These plants look like stones, but for a short time they put forth bright yellow flowers. Still another species of the same plant resembles the quartz pebbles among which it grows. New York Tribune. A Painless Death. A teacher in the factory district of a New Jersey town had been giving the children earnest lectures upon the poisonousness of dirt. One morning a little girl raised her hand excitedly and pointed to a boy who seldom had clean hands. "Teacher," she said, "look quick! Jimmie's commit tin' suicide! He's suckin his thumb!" Success Magazine. Kreisler Sells a

Musician Disposes of Stradivarius, Built in 1726, at Probable Record Price for Instrument in America.

Chicago, Nov. 29. One violin, at $15,000. This approximately is the price the firm of Lyon & Healy paid for the purchase of a genuine Stradivarius. The instrument for a number of years has been the property of Fritz Kreisler, ono of the greatest violinists of the present day. It is said to have an interesting history from the date of its manufacture in 1726 to its latest holder. A number of legends connected with it tell of tragedies and romances in which it has voiced the emotions of its various owners. Because of his numerous holdings of extremely valuable musical instruments and his contemplated retirement from the concert stage, Kreisler consented last week to sell the Stradivarius to the expert of Lyon & Healy's who for some time has been negotiating for its purchase. Musical experts in Chicago declare that 115,000 is a conservative estimate of the value of the violin, although the purchasers have not acknowledged that they paid that exact amount The

A WOMAN HUNTER IN WAYNE COUNTY

She Is Only Member of the Fair Sex Who Has Taken Out a License. VERY FOND OF THE SPORT THERE IS NOTHING MRS. BURTON OF HAGERSTOWN ENJOYS MORE THAN TO BE IN THE FIELD WITH A GOOD GUN. There is but one sportswoman in Wayne county. This is Mrs. Carlos Burton of Hagerstown, age about 40, who a few days ago took out a hunting license application blank, answering all questions which the state requires in order to identify one in case of an accident, and then "planked" down her dollar, and received the state's permit to kill its native animals. Mrs. Burton is no novice at the sport as each year the calling of the field proves irresistable to her. When she goes out, she prepares for a strenuous day, dressing herself in coarse clothes, made especially for the purpose and including a hunting jacket, heavy duck skirt and leggins. She even gives up the pleasures of the fashionable shoe, wearing heavier ones which are also easier on her feet when on long tramps. Forages For Herself. As a rule she goes in the field, accompanied by a relative or friend, but knowing the pleasures of the sport, she does not stay with, her companion during the entire trip. She "forages" for herself, so to speak. Mrs. Burton learned to hunt when young and she now has becomes an expert. A rifle or shot gun are handled with equal ease by her. As a rule, though, when in the field she carries a light weight shot gun. She enjoys trying a wing shot. She has great affection for the quail and seldom does she try a shot at these birds. Other birds, such as blackbirds and crows, are often victims of her "trusty" gun, however. Her catches of rabbits this season are reported to be excellent. An Injustice. An order prohibiting gambling among the enlisted men detailed at the West Point Military academy caused, it would appear, much trouble for certain of the soldiers there. An old sergeant of a negro regiment who was sent to the post suggested a game of craps soon after his arrival. Other soldiers told him of the rule against gambling and refused to join in the game. "Dis yere ain't right," said the new arrival, "an' Ah'll see de cap'n 'bout it." Upon being admitted to the commanding officer's room the sergeant said, with some show of heat: "Cap'n. Ah understand that gamblin ain't 'lowed here no mo'." "That's correct," said the officer. "Well, dat's a injustice to enlisted men, sah, 'cause I's got a large family to suppo't." True Religion. True religion grows more and more anxious to declare that religion is not something foreign to humanity; that it Is simply the fullest utterance of human life; that all human life which is not religious falls below itself. Phillips Brooks. First Aid to Illiterates. TJncle Joe Cannfln had an amnsing experience with a waiter in a Kansas City hotel during his last visit to that city. Being in no mood to select his dinner, he had tossed aside, after a glance, the menu presented to him by his waiter, saying: "Bring me a good dinner." Incidentally Dncle Joe slipped the man a big tip In advance. This repast proving satisfactory, the speaker pursued the same plan during the remainder of his stay in Kansas City. As he was leaving the servitor remarked earnestly as he hftlped him on with his overcoat: "I beg your pardon, sir, but when you or any of your friends that can't read come to Kansas City just ask for Tom." Logical. "How bright May looks since her engagement!" "Yes; a match usually lights up a girl's face!" $15,000 Violin price is said to be the largest ever paid for a violin in this country. The Kreisler violin is known to the musi cal world as the Adams Stradivarius and was formerly known as the Due de Grevile. "I have known of the fiddle for a long time," said J. F. Bowers, secretary of the Lyon & Healy firm, last night. "Its history is both romantic and tragic. Once, I am told, it was rescued by its owner, who had been reduced to poverty, almost at the cost of a human life. "The details of the history I am not at present able to give, but we have agents and experts tracing down every detail, and we intend eventually producing a written biography of it." Besides the Stradivarius which he sold, Kreisler still owns the Hart Guarnerius, which cost $11,000, and his Gagliano, which he played on his first two American tours. He also possesses a fine Lupont. Lyon & Healy's collection of rare instruments is said to be the most extensive in the world.

FIGHTS WITH DEATH

Wonderful Nerve Shown by Malcolm Robbins in a Grim Struggle. CASE A MOST UNIQUE ONE The fight being made bv Malcolm Robbins, son of John F. Robbins, fo.! his life is one of the most remarkable ! ever occurring in the history of American medicine. With his entire ! system affected by blood poisoning, and in a very serious condition for the past forty-eight hours, he continues to make a gallant fight. At noon today, the attending physician announced that he was very low and entertained little hope for his recovery. He ha.s been kept alive by the injection of stimulants and the removal of the poi soned blood. During the entire time he has remained conscious. Members of the family have been called to the bed side. TRIBUTE IS PAID TO DEAD STUDENT High School Was Today House of Mourning for Miss Mabel Gaines. MEMORIAL WAS PREPARED BY THE STUDENT BODY AND FACULTY COMMITTEE AND WAS READ AT THE CHAPEL EXERCISES THIS MORNING. The chapel time at the high school this morning was given over to an unusually impressive memorial ser vice for Mable Gaines, the popular high school student, who died last week. The Rev. V. M. Nelson read a scripture lesson from the Bible on which he made a short address. Miss Caroline Stahl then read a selection from the poem "Recompense," by George Klingle. As an introduction to the reading of the tribute to Miss Gaines. Mr. Knouff made a few remarks. The tribute prepared by the student body and faculty reads: Tribute of the School. An inscrutable God has taken from us one whom we loved. Our grief is too poignant to be expressed by words. for words can be but symbols of our sorrow. We can express only a part of what we feel; and this part we offer as a tribute to the memory of her whom we shall not forget The ways of God are past finding out. We can, therefore, but glimpse from afar the ultimate why of our "dear one's depart if e. We may with greater assurance try to tell what her death will mean to us. and in the telling we are sure we shall in a measure assuage our grief. For, Mabel's death enshrines our recollection of her character in our hearts. We shall always remember her as beautiful Mabel Gaines beautiful in person, and beautiful as an example of happy, unselfish, lovable young womanhood. It is not, therefore, with unmitigat ed sorrow that we offer this tribute. The parting is sad. The ache in our hearts will remain. Still, sweet memories of her cannot die and these will help us to bear the pain. In expressing our own sadness, we do not forget those to whom Mabel was nearest and dearest. To them our hearts go out. We, teachers and students of the Richmond high school, extend to the bereayed parents, to the relatives, and to all who were especially near to her, our sympathy. We realize how futile mere words are when one seeks to offer consolation for the death of a loved one. The character of Mabel's life is far better consolation. For us all, she will be an inspiration. Signed: F. L. Torrence, Arthur L. Murray, Edith Tallant, Lucile Nusbaum, Louise Malsby, Ruth Bradley. Bessie Adams, C. W. Knouff. The funeral of Miss Mabel Gaines, was held yesterday afternoon. Short services were held at the home of Mrs. Haller and afterwards at the Second Presbyterian church, North Nineteenth street. The latter service was largely attended by friends of Miss Gaines, and included a large number of high school students. Rev. I. M. Hughes and Rev. W. M. Nelson, conducted the service. The honorary pallbearers included Miss Lucy Smyser, Miss Mabel Reller, Miss Edith Kofski, Miss Ruth Bradley, Miss Caroline Weaver and Miss Louise Malsby. The acting pallbearers were Ralph Personett, Charles Twigg, Ereitt Haisley, Frank Schalk and Paul Miller.

WORKERS LEAGUE GIVEN A REBUKE

Spokane Informs Sassy Citizens That They Must Obey the Laws. STREET SPEAKING FIGHT MAYOR IN COMMUNICATION SAYS HE DOES NOT REGARD MEM BERS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS LEGITIMATE LABORERS. Siwkane, Wash., Nov. Condemn Ing the acts and attitude of the leadership of the Industrial Workers of the World as un-American, irresponsibl and undesirable, and a menace to the peace, prosperity and happiness of tlu community, the Spokane chamber of commerce adopted resolutions support ing Mayor Pratt, the city council and ; the police commission and officers in 1 the determined stand they have taken j for the enforcement of law and order. This action followed a thorough investigation by officials of the rmnmercial organization and a statement, from Mayor Pratt, who said, following a detailed account of the causes leading to the arrest of several hundred members of the Industrial Workers that after refusing an offer to arrange for an early test of the city ordinance, prohibiting street speaking, the leaders openly boasted they would send their men and defy the authorities and laws of the city. He added in his communication: Mayor's Statement. "The organization and its leaders and counsel have acted in an arbitrary manner and, despite repeated warnings, they have insisted in breaking the laws. I do not regard them as an organized, legitimate body of laboring men, their actions having classed them as a horde of alien vagabonds. "Those who have been sentenced to the rock pile and will not work are given bread and water, while thos who will work, receive three wholesome meals a day of the regular prison fare. The jail has been kept sanitary at all times and the prisoners have been compelled to bathe regularly. "We have the situation well in hand and we are prepared to accomodate (imprison) 2,H0 more, should it be necessary." LEGISLATION OF COMING CONGRESS TO BE MODIFIED (Continued From Page One.) retro-active the provision that railroads shall not hold stock in competing lines. With this change that provision is shorn of the horns which frightened railroad men and these men are reported to be content as to this amendment. It is believed that an agreement will be reached between the President and republican leaders in both houses and that his program will be pushed through with the bills labeled "administrative measures." It is asserted that the Senators who voted against the Tariff bill and are known as "progressives" or "insurgents" have not perfected their organization. Their attitude upon the recommendations of the President is not obtainable, if indeed it be formed. IT'S LIKE FINDING MONEY to be able to buy grain and hay at the price we are quoting.
