Crowds fill the streets and discuss the King's death and whatever their opinfons of his personel life join in tributes to his greatness.

SENDS CABLEGRAM TO ' TAFT Says He is Willing to Leave Country, | but Stands Ready Answer | for His Acts ident. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The United | | States ship Buffalo, now at Panama, with 00 marines on board, has been ordered to ail at once for Corinto. This action was | aken today as the result of a telegram re- celved from the United States consulate at Managua, stating that inasmuch as Ze- laya, in his message resigning the presi- deney, had made unpleasant reference to Americans, and owing to a report eurrent n that eity that eivilian adherents of Ze- laya had been armed with daggers, the citizens of the United States residing in that city had appealed to consulate for protection. A telegram from the Ameri- | can consulate at Managua states it Is cur- | rently rumored there that when Madriz ar- | rives in Managua, presumably tomorrow Zelaya wil formally surrender his office to the national assembly, and that that | body has already received instructions from | Zelaya to cast its vote for Irias, as presi- dent of Nicaragua. This rumor Is directly at the understanding here, based on dis- | | patches from Nicaragus officially or otherwise, to the effect that Madris would | receive the support not only of Zelaya him- self, but of his faction. | Zelaya Will Dominate. The conclusion of the United States of- ficers at Managua is that by the selection of Irias, Zelaya will still dominate. Zelaya's change of front is a matter of no surprise to the officials here, it being known that both Irias and Madriz have long been regarded as Zelaya's willing tools, and it has been suspected for some time that Irlas was really Zelaya's first choice for the presidency and Madriz sec- ond. The hurry order sent to the Buffalo to | proceed at once to Corinto may have some |'wignificance other than that stated, Inas- | much as &' arrival-there ‘Is looked for un | the day that Madriz is expected to arrive {in Managua. | Rear Admiral Kimball, who went to ‘Plnlmn on the Dixie, will accompany ihe | to s Pres- | | arlance with | marines to Corinto.

Zelaya Cables to Taft, MANAGUA, Dec. 17.—President Zelaya | last night cabled a conciliatory message to President Taft, saying that he had shown his good faith by resigning in order that| Nicaragua might resume friendly relations with the United States. He added that he proposed to leave the country, but stood ready to account for his acts as president. | Zelaya's message to Mr. Taft follows: n December 4, I cabled to Washington this message: * ‘Secretary Knox: I of your information are prejudiced and request that the United States send a commission of investigation. If its find- ings show my administration to be det- rimental to Central America, I will resign.’ “I have recelved no reply. To avold harm to my country and desiring that it shall renew friendly relations with the United States, I have today sent my resignation to congress.

LOUI Order Granting the Supreme Court is Judges Hook Adamns, Appeal Signed by anda ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17.—The appeal of thé Standard Oil company of New Jersey, its subsidiarics and the seven Iy iuudis against whom the government recenti, won its dissolution suit _In._the Unite. States circuit court, was filed here today Sixty-five instances in which the cireui court s alleged to have erred are cited as reasons for taking the case to the supreme court of the United tSates. The appeal was accompanied by & bond of $50,000. Collectively the assignments of error are | that the evidence did not show a violation of the Sherman act, under which the suit was brought. The decree is attacked as gainst almost all the detendants, different reasons being assigned as to why they were not subject to the order of the court. The findings in respect to competition as between corporations occupying territory are also declared to have been error as well as the court's conclusions regarding the part which John D. Rockefeller, Henry | H. Rogers, John D. Archbold and the othier individual defendants took in the forma- tion an dconduct of the various companies, The order granting the appeal was signed by Judges Willlam C. Hook and Elmer B. Adams. Criticism of the decree begins in assign- ment No. 48. The court enjoined the New Jersey company from voting the stock of subsidiary coneerns, the smaller companies from paying dividends to the larger, the in- dividual defendants from continuing the | combination which it found to exist or the formation by them of any similar arrange- ment looking to the control of the price or transportation of petroleum. All these or- ders are declared to be in error. The findings regarding monopoly part of commerce are assailed ment No. 5. Assignments Nos. 56 and 64 contend that no decree should have been entered against certain of the defendants which operated in only one state, was tpurchased for cash by the Standard of New Jersey, or which was organized rt the Instance of the trustees of the trust of 1882, prior to 1890, Assignment No. 65 contends the costs of the case should not have been taxed against the defendant.

SHERIFF SEPARATES THE COUPLE Mrs. Paul Takes Possession of Little Ones with Force — Windows Smushed and Father is Struck. John S. Paul has possession of his three children. Incidentally to the transfer of the children from Mrs. Paul to Mr. Paul there occurred more excitement than Flor- | enge has known in a long time. Among | the episodes of the affair, according to re- ports, were the smashing of a window by Mrs. Paul and her entry into Paul's house thereby, and the clouting of Paul on the head with a scantling by some unidentified person. At noon yesterday Judge Troup In dis- {trict court signed an order giving the custody of the children to the banker, who recently won his divorce suit. Later In the day, Paul, Dr. Adams, Laura Faublan, the nurse, and Sheriff Brailey visited the resi- dence on State street, Florence, where Mrs Paul has been llving with the children. Mrs. Paul did not strenuously resist giv- ing up the children at first, though she said to Sheriff Bralley, “No court on earth has a right to rob a mother of her chil- dren.” Paul and the physiclan carried the chil- dren out to the carriage and drove off to the new home which Paul has fitted up several blocks away Mrs. Paul was there first, having run across lots. Paul carried the children into the house and Mrs. Paul made no difficulty on being advised not to interfere by the sheriff. He counseled her to return home in the carriage. She agreed to and started The sheriff started down the street. In a minute more he saw Mrs. Paul running | past him. She had changed her mind and |left the carriage. She ran to the side of the house. What happened next is described by Sheriff Brai- {ley as follows: | “I heard the crash of a window pane at [ the side of the house and saw Mrs. Paul crawling through the window. In a minute | more there were loud cries for help from the inside. Then | ana Paul and his wife came out, struggling. 1 made them stop at once. “I was trying to persuade Mrs. Paul, who was hysterical, to leave the scene and £0 to her home, when somebody unknown ta me, struck Paul from behind with a Ipiece of scantling. Paul suffercd a smashed hat and that was all. Then Mrs. Paul agreed to g0 home and did so." Mrs. Paul is under injunction not to in- terfere with Paul's possession of the chil dren, for this was coupled with the order glving Paul the custody of the three litfle girls. | Burley Case Reversed.

Twenty Millio SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. IT.—Attorney General W. H. Stead today prefaced his argument before the suprems court in the sult to compel the Illinoils Central rallroad to acount for 7 per cent of its gross re- ceipts from charter lines, with a state- ment of the case by which the state of Illinols seeks to recover an amount Approx- imately estimated at §20,000,00 from the raliroad company. The review of tne case by the attorney general touched on the grant by the fed- eral congress to the state of Iilinols of 2,395,000 acres of land as a right-of-way. This grant was made in 1850 The attorney general claims that the lands were 80ld by the road for $30,000,000, the road. “The claim now made by the Illinols Central,” said Attorney General Stead, “that it owes the state nothing because of this land grant, as an example of ingrati- tude has no parallel since the time of Judas Iscariot.” “Not only,” declared Mr, Stead, “has the which was more than sufficlent to build | ns Demanded by Illinois from Railroad |defendant falled to furnish the governor, | semi-annually, a Py, or substantially a copy, of the account as required by the charter, but such pretended statements as it has furnished have been dishonest and traudulent “The star scheme practiced by defendant to rob the charter lines has been that of constructive mileage.
