A Scoundrel " Without a Peer HIS PRIVATE VICES MORE INFA- MOUS THAN PUBLIC ONES, SENATOR RAYNER ROASTS ZELAYA Addressed Senate on His Resolution Authorizing President to Apprehend Zelaya on the Charge of Murder. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—Speaking to his resolution offered in the senate last Friday,k authorizing the president of the United States to take all nec- essary steps to apprehend President Zelaya of Nicaragua and bring him to trial on a charge of the murder of Groce and Cannon, the two American citizens recently executed in Nicara- a, Senator Rayner of Maryland to- s:y addressed the senate at length. Senater Rayner's speech, stirring and denunciatory in tcje, #nd character- ized by dramatic fervor, was an un- sparing arraignmtent of President Ze- laya, whom he designated as one of the criminals of the age. “What I am concerned in now,” said Senator Rayner, “is not the question of the belligerent rights of the revolu- tionists, or in case of their success their recognition either as the de facto or the de jure government, but in the speedy apprehension and punish- ment of Zelaya. This desperado Is everything that the secretary of state says about him, and a great deal more. If the country knew what is known in official ecircles in reference to his gen- eral depravity, it would regard the secretary’s communication as exceed- ingly temperate, as it shows upon its face the restraint under which he was laboring in dealing with such a char- acter.

In the school of corrup- tion, dishonor, perfidly and crime he stands without a peer, and exhibits in one glow of associated harmony the pride of every model and the ‘per- fection of every master, I have been informed upon the most reliable au- thority that the vices of his private lite are more infamous in their inde- ribeble details than the iniquities of fil public career. Such a creature as this deserves the execration of mankind. Now, as the culminating infamy of his administration ,tramp- ¥ng upon every instinct of humanity, in violation of universal law, in defi- ance of these precepts of the inter- national code that have been recog- nized ever since the night of barbar- ism receded before the rays of civiliz- ation, he has put to torture and then to death two American citizens who were not guilty of treason, who were not ‘spies, but whom he had captured as prisoners of war in the army of the revolutionists. This act was not only the act of a fiend, but was an insult to the honor of this renub- MYe, and cannot remain unavenged. Indemnity Futile. “It is absolutely preposterous for us go talk about indemnity. Indemnity is no recompense for murdef. Even if we were willing to accept such a com- romise,” there is no one to give us in- :emnlty, because the revolutionists will soon be in power, and the comrades in arms of these unfortunate men should never be assessed for compensation for their unlawful death. It is said that we ought to break off official com- munication with his accredited repre- gentatives. We have already done that and that amounts to nothing, and is a matter of absolute unconcern to him. “This government is a cowardly gov- ernment if it does not make an exam- ple of Zelaya before the eyes of the civilized world. This case will not admit of any trifling or concessions. If two American citizens—I care not who they were or what they were, cit- {zens in high standing, or as they have been reputed to be, or soldiers of for- tune—have been murdered by Zelaya then he must be made to pay the pe alty of his crime. Once spread b fore the American people the dets of the execution and our people will rise in arms and demand retribution. They have not yet fully absorbed the significance of this deed. No matter how it was done, no trial by court- martial can justify it. These men, as I have shown, were prisoners of war, and they were not subject to trial by courtmartial.” BRIEF STATE NEWS Our comprehensive stock of Diamonds offers to our patrons many advantages not obtainable elsewhere.
