That the United States inaugurate a campaign of peace and “abolish the idea of force” in dealing with the Central American nations, was urged in an address in the senate yester- ETHEL - ‘. n relations committee. Dispatches from Costa Rica say that liberal and. conservative resi- dents there have set up a committee to aid President Jiminez of that country ‘in, working for peage in ruragua, where the American-rec- ognized president, Adolfo Diaz, opposed in warfare by Juan S a, liberal, with Mexican recog Compromise Candidate ey are expected to ask the con- ig factions whether they would agree to ‘peace negotiations and ac- cept Ramirez Calderon, former min- ister to.the United States, as a com- promise candidate for president. President Jiminez already has of: fered his services to mediate the Nicaraguan dispute, which, he says, have been accepted by Sacasa. The American state departiient —_an- nounced yesterday that- it approved of the Costa Rican move and hoped it would be successful.

A “gridiron” program, presented by local newspaper men‘ and corre- spondents of papers here for the leg- islative session, furnished the amuse- ment of the evening. The dinner was seareely finished when a quartet ap- peared’ and sang a parody’ touching on the investigation of the state mill and elevator at Grand’Forks as pro- vided by a resolution recently passed in the state senate. “Directots” Meet This was followed by a meeting of the directors of the state of North Dakota, a take-off on the message of Governor A, G. Sorlie to the legisla- ture in which the executive described himself as the chairman of the state’s board of ditectors. This number gave the actors dn- opportunity to spring a ‘number of good-natured jibes upon various state officials and * legislators. A character representing the gov- ernor sang a “harmony” song but was interrupted by the entrance of a “secret service” man. who reported on various “investigations,” Perey Trubshaw, _répresentative from Barnes county, was portrayed in a fishing scene in which the speak- ership of the house of representatives was the prize.
