New York, April 23.—The applica- tion of Bela Tokaki and others of this city for a certification of incorporation of the National Roosevelt league was denled by Justice Bischoff in the su- preme court. The principal object of the proposed organization was “to aid in securing by all parties and citizens of all partles irrespective of political affiliations the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself as pres- ident of the United States.” The petition declares that “present political parties and large numbers of public men, notwithstanding their pub- lic professions, are entirely too much attached to governing the people for a party and by a party, or of a class for a class and by a class.” It was to thig latter portion of the petition that Jus- tice Bischoff took exception. He took the ground that while these allega- tions may be proper snbject for debate they were not proper when placed in formal articles of incorporation. He therefore refused to affix his signature to the document until the improper matter shall have been eliminated. FOR EDUCATION OF CHINESE Said Rockefeller Will Millions. Loulsville, April 23.—Rev.

MAY ENEN FIGHTING Peace Negotiations in Central America Deadlocked. SALVADOR BALKS ON TERMS Objects to Nicaraguan Demand That She Assume Responsibility for Out- break of Hostilities and Agree to Pay Part of the Cost of the War. ‘Washington, April 23.—Advices re- ceived here from Central America are to the effect that the peace negotia- tions which have been in progress for the past few days at Amapala have come to a deadlock and it is feared that a renewal of hostilities is im- pending. The difficulty appears to lie in the Nicaraguan demand that Sal- vador shall be held responsible for what has occurred, which condition is not acceptable. Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minis- | ter here, called upon Assistant Secre- tary of State Bacon to explain to him the Nicaraguan position which, in i brief, was as follows: Nicaragua feels that by her interference between Nicaragua and Honduras Salvador has made herself liable for damages in- 'ficted upon Nicaragua and financial expenses of some part of the war. As Salvador denied any such liability Nie- aragua, in order to avoid delaying the present negotiations for peace at Ama- pala, proposes that the question be submitted to President Roosevelt or to some person to be designated by him as to whether or not Salvador is liable for pecuniary damages and, if so, to ‘what amount.

SHORTAGE 1S LARGE iy R s, SAID TO HAVE CONFESSED Police, Private Detectives and Em- ployes of Institution Take a Hand in Rounding Up the Missing Man After His Disappearance. New York, April 23.—The shortage in the accounts of W. O. Douglas, as- sistant loan clerk of the Trust Com- pany of North America, who has been arrested on a charge of stealing $50,- 000 in bonds from the institution, may reach §$260,000. Douglas is said to have confessed to Oakleigh Thorne, president of the trust company, at the time of his arrest that he had made away with $50,000 in bonds and it is now reported that he has made a writ- ten confession to Mr. Thorne in which he admits that the total value of bonds taken by him will reach $250,- 000. The bonds are said to have been turned over to a Wall street broker, who is Delieved to have acted for Dauglas in good faith. The arrest of Douglas was largely due to the personal efforts of Pres- ident Thorne of the trust company, who, in addition to asking the aid of the police and a local detective agency, enlisted twenty-eight em- ployes of the bank to make a personal search for the fugitive. Douglas let. the bank Saturday morning and the search began a few hours later. The Detectives Watched All Trains and ferry lines and an hour after mid- night Sunday morning the watchers at the Grand Central station were re- warded by seelng Mrs. Douglas and a stranger enter a cab and drive from the statlon. The watchers followed the cab to the Hotel Portland, where they found Douglas and his wife reg- istered under the names Mr. and Mrs. ‘W. R. Gray, Boston. The strange man had disappeared when President Thorne and a detective went to the room and placed Douglas under ar- rest. It was reported during the afternoon that a large quantity of the bonds stolen by W. O. Douglas from the Trust Company of North America had been found hidden in a mattress in the room of a broker in a fashionable up town club. Reports said also that the police are searching for the broker and that up to a late hour they had not succeeded in finding him. In the lght of these late developments it was declared that Douglas was not the principal in the robbery, but merely the tool of others.
