BLUEFIELDS, Nic., Dec. 4—(Via New Orleans, Dec. 10)—~With the expected battle at Rama between the forces of General Wstrada and of President Zelaya, under command of General Oseja, imminent, Es- trada’s position at Rama is now considered ympregnable. Meanwhile Estrada has sent detachments into the mountains west of Rama, which have repeatedly met the government troops in small skirmishes. Always the insurgents . laying wi the country as they retired and leaving Oseja nothing with which to feed his men. It was not Estrada’s policy to contest the CORN SHOW - SWAMPS DOCTORS Exhibitors and Visitors From the East Reassure Their Western Friends. TELL OF MANY, United Doctors’ Waiting Rooms Always Crowded to Overflowing. MANY COURES As the Corn show visitors continue to come In ever increasing numbers from the great corn belts of Indiana, Illinols, Mis- sourl, lowa and Kafisas, states where the \United Doctors Institutes have been located for years, and their wonderful new system of curing disease has stood the test of time, the capacity of the reception rooms and staff of the United Doctors s taxed to the limit. This is brought nbout by the fact that a little over a year ago the United Doctors’ system of curing d se was practically unknown to the peo of the great mtddle west, except to a few who read of their weonderful achlevements in the eastern dailies. During the short year that the United Doctors’ Institute has been located on the secqnd floor of the Neville blook, carner Sixteenth and Harney streets, a new era In the treatment and cute of ali ob- scure, chronic and nervous diseases has been Intraduced (o the people of Omiha and the great middle west, Thelr achlevements thus far have been demonstrated to be phenomenal as shown by the thousands of letters which have been handed to the chief of the staff by grateful patients whoss years of suffering and agony have been turned, in this short year, to health and happiness. However, there has been some skepticlsm abroad in regard to thelr wonderful achievements. They seemed too good to be true, but now that the-exhibitors and vis- ftors from the eastern states are here in great numbers from all over the north- western corn belt, they find that all of the west is eager to know something of the workings of this great Institute In Omaha. Not an hour passes during the day bot that some one who has been cured in an- eastern Institute comes to the United Dootors’ reception rooms on the second floor of the Neville block, corner Six- teenth and Harney streets, to expre: thelr thanks for the cure they have had, and to bid God speed to the work of the United Doctors in this comparatively new field. The interest Omaha and the wide country surrounding it is menifesting in this g health movement is best told in the words of Mr. Arthur Middieton; a corn raiser of Bloomington, 1, who remarked yesterday: “1 have beén Led 80 much about the United : Doctors’ work in the. east that I begin to balleve they. are attracting as much attention here as the Corn show. 1 are all right; they specialists.

Oseja’s forces, half starved, footsore and sick from the terrible tramp over the mountaine, are converging fn front- of Rama. Hstrada, confident, assured, awalts the attack behind his fortiffoations. At Bluetields 1,000 reinforcements await his call, the trip by the Rama river requiring but seven hours. The attitude of the United. States gov- ernment, friendly to Hstrada, has done much to fill the generals of Zelaya with a fear that Zelaya's downfall is assured. Zelays will Resign.

Mr. Bryan Says Prohibition Not National Issue Peerless Leader Believes that States Should Have Full Control Over Liquor Traffic. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 10.—A statement in behalf of W. J. Bryan which was pub- lished here today in the Commonor, denies that he intends to make an effort to.pusix prohibition as a national fssue. The state- ment follows: “Mr. Bryan does not expect to see pro- hibition a paramount issue in national poli- tles. Tt that ever comes it is not likely to be in Mr. Bryan's day. “Mr. Bryan may however, be truthfully credited with a desire to assist in securing for the several states, absolute and ex- clusive control over the liquor traffic—in- cluding coatrol over all shipments of liquor as soon as the liquor enters the state.

BENDER BASE BALL COACH Former Foot Ball Star Not Likely to Get Foot Ball Place. WORK DURING EARLY Letter D. Rises Becaunse of Sturtesnegger, So tt Will Be Rewarded with Homor. Protest Given B LINCOLN, Neb., Dee. dohnny Bender, former Cornhusker Ball hero and coach of the Haskell Indian foot ball eleven during the last season #ill comeh the Nebraska base ball candi- date next spring. The base ball committee the Nebraska Athletic ovard this after- Ynioon agreed to accept a proposition made them by Bender and they ordered Manager Fager to sign a contract with the former Cornhusker, The committes had full power 1o_hire a coach and thelr work is final. Bender, during his college career at Ne- braska was, in addition to being a foot ball star, a base ball player of high class and was one of the best eatchers that ever played on & scarlet and cream team. He led the Cornhuskers to many viotortes on the dlamond as well as on the gridiron. In the last game of the season in 1905, which was .his final year at this school, Johnny won the contest in the final inning by driving a home run over the fence. This game was played against Creighton college of Omaha, when that school had one of the best university nines in the mid- dle west. Since bis graduation from the university in the spring of 196 Bender has been a protessional ball player. For part of one season he was with the Omaha Western league mine. Later he went west and played with the Pacific Northwest league. His achfevements there caused him to get a substantial increase in salary after his first season, He will play professional base ball again next summer, probably go- ing west to Seattle, Doesn’t Get Football Job. Johnny Bender is an applicant for the position of Cornhusked foot ball coach, but it is not likely that he will be given that Job. The board favors him for the base ball task, but not for the. gridiron job. A movement is on among the alumni to get the board to make Bender an offer of athletic director at the state school. Such a position would keep him mere the entire year and would permit him to coach both base ball and foot ball. The Cornhusker board does not look with favor upon this proposal. At the next meeting of the athletlc board on Monday evening a foot ball “N" will be granted D. Ellott, a player who was in both the Denver and Haskell ' games. At Denver he played the entire game and on Thanksglving day was in the contest for a half. Elliott was not awarded a letter yester- day when fourtcen other players —were honored, because he had not played a full half ‘of ome of the “N” games. These games were three—Minnesota, Iowa &nd Kansas. Elliott did not take part in either of these, but his work in the Denver game was ssuch that it is thought ‘he should have a letter. ‘When the board yesterday falled to re- ward him a storm of protest broke loose from the undergraduate body and the mem- bers of the board wero severely criticised for giving a letter to Sturteznégger, a man who had not béen in any of the blg games this year. ‘Sturteznegger, however, was a fourth-year man who had dene good work Quring his whole career, while Elliott still has two more seasons in which to play. The board was criticized as discrfminal !ing in favor of Sturtesnegger and its mem- bers were the regipients of many unkind remarks yesterday. They informally dis- cussed the matter this morning and it was decided that, In order to allay criticism; they would give Elliott his letter. Nobody @entes that Blljott is deserving of a letter, but the board did mot feel like stepping over its rule in order to grant him the honor this year when he would have an- other opportunity to win his spurs next tall. Will It Be Ward or Heydler? Just now the most conspicuous tople of discussion in base ball Is the fight for the presidency of the National league, John Heydler, present incumbent, is & can- daidate for re-election and John M. Ward, the old-time shortstop and captain of the long-ago New York Giants and later a prime factor in the Brotherhood and now posing candidate. Heydler's chief antag- onist is Charles Webb Murphy, president of the Chicago Cubs, and he is also op- posed by President Ebbetts of Brooklyn and John T. Brush of New York, while It 1s belleved the new management in Phil- adelphia will vote against him. This gives four votes out of eight for Ward. Garry Herrmann of Cincinnatl, Barney Dreytuss of Pittsburg, Robison of St. Louls and Dovey of Boston are expected to stand' by Heydler. Dreyfuss certainly will and Herr- mann will 5o long as there appears a fight- ing chance for his victory, but Robison and Dovey are not relied on with as much assurance, though they have indicated they would stay for the finish. Here Is somewhat of a symposium on this subject, participated in by men ac- tively interested: Garry Herrmann: “President Robison of the St. Loufs club, has not promised any- body to vote for anybody. He Is free to or the man just around the corner. dent Dovey is in the same boat, though he has as yet sald but very little, if anything, about the meeting this winter and its results. I am not speaking for Presi- not think they will vote as Murphy and Brush and Ebbetts want them to, but I am glving my personal opinion, which 1 think is fairly good on this line. Of course, one never cap tell just what's in the wind. But I hardly think that Messrs. Robinson and Dov would vote that way. That Murphy and Brush and Ebbets aré golng to vote for Mr. Ward certainty | That the . Philadeiphia ment may vote that way is also though you must understand that nothing of this sort has ever been sald yet. I do not think Mr. Ward, if ho is elected, will do one single thing against- the best interests of the game, and I feel that were Mr. Heydler willing to step down that I would approve of the selection of Mr. Ward. He is & clean sportsman and & most clever gentleman. But why should and I think we ought to give it to him. Ceming back o the question of Messts. Robison and Dovey, I hardly thing that Mr. Dovey will make known his opinion as to who ought to be the leader of the league until the meeting in New York. Mr. Robison may say beforehand which way he 'will’ vote. But I' know that he has not promised anybody to vote for thelr man yet, Syndicate base ball, in this ocase, means that the Quakers are to be made & stronger club At tiie expense of other clubs in the league. This must be done hy them in order to put up & stronger fight for the pennaat in 100 It also means that SPRING |Murphy and Brush, I think, in & kettle 10.~(Special.)— | toot | attorney at law In New York, is an op- [w “It s unfortunate that the name of vote for John Heydler or John M.

He wants the place |p the 8t Lo and Botton olubs, who have been working harder than Anybody else in the league to bulld up their teams, will remain igle ahd watch the Quakers. This isn't Wardly probable, is it? Robison and Dovey have figured this all out and they known just what it will _mean to them The sale of the Philadelphia club will put of hot water," This from the veteran John M. Ward: “Let me say that I am not Murphy's man. If I should be placed at the head of the Natlonal league I would conduct its affairs squarely and without favor. I am not dooking for this place, understand, and I am not trying to push any man out of a position or looking for & place that righttully belongs to another ‘man. I don't| know Mr. Heydler personally, but I have | heard nothing but good about him. I have | only a siight mcquaintance with Charles W. Murphy, and he simply knows me as an old base ball man, and occastonally has invited me to the National league base bali park when 1 have beén in Chicago. That's all the sequaiftance I have with him. The reasons for Mr. Johnson's objections to me are not founded on fact. He bases them on the grounds that I had a hand in the deal whereby George Davis signed both Chicago &nd New York contracts six years ago. 1 did not know anything about that atfair until three months after it happened At the time I made a denlal in all the newspapers and I su Mr. Johnson w that denfal. I think Mr. Johnson owes me an apology for that statement, for he knows that I had no hand In getting Davls away from the Chicago club. All this talk about a base ball war s nonsensical. Base ball managers are business men and they cannot afford to do anything that will be detrimental to thelr business interests, The ifferent clubs are bound under an agree- ment which holds under the law, and any | Vvioiation of this agreement would leave | them llable to heavy damages. Talk about teams jumping from one league to anoth is absurd.” Horace S, Fogel, the Philadelphia news- paper man, who seems to be in the Quaker saddle, has this'to say: “There seems to be an uhusual amount of agitation created by the anmouncement that I have become president and owner of the Philadelphia Base Ball club, and ai- ready rumors are afloat that the control of the club Is not In my hands, but in those of others. The name of Charles Webb Murphy has been mentioned and the sub- ject of syndicate baseball has been dragged in. I have already made the statement that Murphy has nothing to do with my purchase of the ‘club, and I repeat that he has nothing whatever to do with it. He hasn't got a doilar in the cjub and he will | have nothing to do with the management or control of 'it. As for syndicate base ball I have always been opposed to it, and I don't propose to stand for it mow. The Philadelphia club will be managed as a purely business proposition in an honest effort to give Philadelphia a winning bali téam. Murphy came on here to be a wit- ness to the purchase and transter of the club. It has also been suggested that I would vote for John Montgomery Ward for president of the National league. I have not declared myself on that point, because all who know me know that I have the most sincers admiration for John Heydler, who was a newspaper man like myself. The fact that I was assotlated with Mr. Ward ‘il the general Interest taken In the Players' league in 1590 does no6t mean that I have already pledged my support to his candidacy for president of the National league. Mr. Heydler s one of my friehds and I have always been friendly with him. ‘Therefore, it is prema- ture to say ‘that T am opposed to him for. anyone, else. I don't want to become mixed up In base ball polities; all I want is a chance to try to faake good with the Phil- adelphia club. I have not recelved any communication from Mr. Ward or Mr. of eltherf I have not been approached on the subject. I have had altogether too much interest in the purchase of the Phil- adeiphia club to give the subject of the coming election in the Natlonal league any serious attention.” Stanley Robison of St. Louls says: “I do not see what right they have to say I am for Heyler or against him; that I am for Ward or againét him; that I have glven my promise to yote with Murphy or declare mysel? with Dreyfuss and Herr- mann. The fact is I have not conferred agitation began. I have not committed myselt in, any way and‘will not until I reach New York for the National league meeting. I shall wait until I have be- come entirely conversant with the condi- tions that exist.”” The Sporting News adds this: Joseph D. O'Brien has been mixed up with this unpopular movement to unseat Mr. Heydler, for under other circumstances the candidacy of such & man for the presi- dency of lha\ National league would be welcomed heartily. Mr. O'Brien has proved by his administration of the affairs of the American assoclation that he is a very able head. He is an aggressive man, an able man, a tine executive, of broad: has impre: ation different, it is probable that warring factions would unite upon his as thelr candidate without a word of protest. But what can not be lost sight of is that the office Is not vacant. The principle involved of keeping good officlals seeure, long as their conduct merits reposing trust in them, 15 too pressing to be overthrown. Unless this principle prevalls, the office becomes but a ‘“public trough” at which its incumbent may swill add libitum, at the expense of the interests he is supposed to conserve knowing that his term is limited to the period during which he can please everybody—in the very nature of things, necessarily short. The question for the National league to settle to the satisfaction of the general public is—not what good men can be found to replace John Heydler, but why should he be replaced? Can the league afford to merit the scathing eritielsm that would follow such unwarranted action? And, sald before, we do not believe that the National league can, or that it will, do 50."
