P READY FOR INTERVENTION JtAnsurgents in Nicaragua Hope United Will Act. /MOVEMENT 1S FACING DEFEAT " Gemerals Hola ¥ nt Conferemces o ule—Residents Think Agreement Should FHave Guare mntee of the United States. WASHINGTON, March 5.—Leading citi- meris and partisans of General Estrada in Bluetields, Nicaragua, seem to recognize the fact that the revolutionary party Is doomed to defeat. This was shown In & telegram received by the State department late yes- terday from Consul Moffat at Bluetields, who stated in effect {hat the hopelessness of Vthe revoluntionary cause was fully recognized by prominent people there and they strongly hoped that the United States would intervene. In the absence of Secretary Knox none of the officials would predict what steps the United States might take looking to a #; - cesmation of hostilities, but in some quarters the suggestion was made that the United States would continue its policy of non- interference at least until one party or the other was willing to lay down its arms. y to Treat, Nioaragua, March 4.— After three days of secret conferences thare iu today every reason to belleve that General Betrada, the leader of the revolu- tionfsts and his advisers reluctantly have acquiesocd In the demand of American [ ] residents in Nicaragua that a receptive ear be turned to any proposal of American » intervention, which will guarantes to them the rights domanded and the denial of which caused the revolution. The original demands of the revolutionists, included the overthrow of President Zelaya, which was accomplished, and the restoration to the people of the constitutional and common rights of citizens which it was alleged had been taken from them under the regime of Zelaya. ‘While Generals fistrads, Diaz and Riveria 1’and (he other conferees are contemplating the matter, their frequent calls upon , Thomas P. Moffatt, the American consul, Who also doclines to talk, give support to this view. It 18 safe to say that General Chamorro's defeat has not altered the views-of the people on the east coast of Nicaragua as _to the guarantees that are necessary to peace.

A & # Y THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE Our Letter Box Contributions on Timely Subjects, ot Exessding Twe Hundred Words, Are Iavited from Our Readers. The Inside Story. HARTINGTON, Neb., Feb, B8.-~To the Editor of The Bee: It Is my purpose to write & true and unvarnished history of the now famous Senate File 283, popularly known as the day-light saloon law. The writer was secretary of the judlefary com- mittee of the house of representatives at the last session. Representative Niels Johnson of Burt was the original author of the measure, which was revised slightly by Senator King of Polk. Then it was Introduced In each body by these gentle- men, Pespectively. Representative John- son's bill, known as house roll 119, was fhdefinitely postponed on the forty-fourth day of the session by a vote of 6 to 42 Senator King's bill was senate file 131, In form an amendment to chapter @ known as the Slocumb law, and much resembled the bill which finally passed. Senate File 131 was (ndefinitely postponed on the nine- teenth day of the session by & vote of 21 to 10. It would be profitless to enter into the reasons, political and personal, which wrought the decisive defeat of this measure, where pronounced prohibitionists were found voting with the champlons of wide-open. When house roll 119 was inde- finitely postponed, Representative Johnson was gloomy, but he remembers that the present writer told him to brace up for his measure would be the law of the state in three calendar months after the adjourn- ment of the session; and I pointed out to him the course which was finally pursued. A few days after this Arthur F. Mullen of O'Nell, proposed the same modus operandl, in & democratic caucus, at which I was not present. The Jjudiclary committee was Kkept under strenuous strain; their business exceeded that of all the others combined. The writer, as thelr clerk, had an assort- ment of bills, which I called my God-and- morality ' file. One day Victor Wilson of Polk, chairman of the committee, sald to me: “Bryant, can't you find a senate file to which you can attack the day-light provision a# an amendment.” I picked out No. 283 from the God-and-morality file aforesaid. It had been introduced by Sena- tor Wiltse of my home district and was an innocent amendment to section 14 of the so-called Slocumb law, making that section apply to primary elections, changing the word: “Spirituous, malt and vinous liquors,” to “Spiritubus, malt or vinous liquors,” and providing for forfeiting of license on conviction. Thirty senators had voted for the bill, only two agatnst It, and one was absent. 1 attached Johnson's day-light measure to this bill as an amend- ment. The Omaha members of the com- mittee were absent when this bill was recommended by the judiclary committee to the house with the amendment. But the meetings were held at regular hours, and every one had an opportunity to be present. There were ten members of this commit- tee, soven voted for the bill on its final passage, and three voted against it. It is true that the Omaha members had no knowledge that the committee had acted upon this measure, and I did not inform them. I was In the habit of calling In the members frequently, to get & quorum, but did not consider it any part of my duty to Inform them of what happened in their absence. It would serve no useful purpose to call up what happened in the house on Its final passage of senmate filo 283, except to state that on the passage fifty members voted for the bill and thirty-elght against it, This was one less than the constitu- tional majority. I know this, for I was in the gallery, and heard the disputed mem- ber vote. Yet the names of these voting DPro et con were read over three times, and the members had three opportunities to correct all mistakes. Furthermore, at least three absentees were triendly to the meas- ure and could: have been brought In on call of the house. The senate concurred by & vote of 18 to 14. There was no general dlsposition to force this measure Tmbruptly on Omaha. Every reasonable man recognized the hardship. The friends of the measure proposed excepting cities of the metropolitan class, but a majority of the Douglas délegation spurned the com- promise. As everyone knows, the supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of the law. Tt is unnecessary to say that I believe in the law, but I do not propose to discuss its merits here. WILBUR F.

FORTY BODIES TAREN 0UT Total Death List at Wellington is Estimated at 118, ALASKAN SLEDGES FOR BODIES No Trace of M © and Seven Clerks and Welghers—FProperty Loss Will Exceed Million Dollars. WELLINGTON, Wash., March 5.—Those digging for bodies in the snowy tomb of the avalanche made little progross yester- day and late this afternoon only forty dead had been brought out, leaving forty-five passenger and .rallroad men, and an un- known number of laborers in the gorge, where two QGreat Northern trains were buried Tuesday. ‘The searchers are working by day only. The total number of dead 1s estimated at 118 The Great Northern rallroad today sent in fifteen Alaskan sledges, on which the bodies will be taken to Skykomish. Superintendent O'Neill's private car, con- | taining the bodies of Tralnmaster A. B. | Blackburn and Secretary Longeoy, was found today. Of 700 sacks of mail carried away by the avalanche, only 150 have been recovered. There 18 no trace whatever of one mail car and seven clerks and welghers. In some places cars are known to be under seventy feet of trees, snow, earth and rocks. Loss Over Million. The Great Northern is using all the resources at its command to open the track. Superintendent O'Nelll estimates the actual loss to the road by destruction of property at §1,000,000. Cold rain and in- creasing fear of snowslides added to the gloom of Welllngton today. Two bodies were sent down the track, and the others, warpped in - blankets, are lying in a rall- road bullding. The recovery of bodies will be slow until the locomotives arrive to pull away the glant trees, whose trunks and branches are interlocked about the dead. The rain, falling upon snow already packed so tight that a shovel will not enter it, is turning It to lce. The working force in the avalanche ruins now consists of 10 Americans. Three of the Greek and Slavonian laborers stole clothing from the debris, but they did not actually rob the bodies. The misconduct of these men aroused such indignation that the rallroad officials sent all of the seventy- five forelgn laborers away. Edgar Lemmon of Hunters, Wash., whos body and that of his wife have been foun was formerly a leading attorney of Seattle.

WASHINGTON, March 5.—"“The high cost of meat problem will solve itselt and the price will be reduced two-thirds if the peo- ple will raise deer on the farm and are permitted to kill them,” declared Charles Merriam, chief of the blological suryey, be- Tore & house committee today. He sald that deer farming could be carried on prof- itably in any part of the United States. Dr. Merriam also told the committee of the slaughter of wolves, prairie dogs, gophers, rats and ground squirrels in Cal- ifornia. The latter, Dr. Merriam said, were infested with bubonic plague germs and that the department was dolng everything possible to exterminate them. “If these animals are allowed to carry the disease the whole country will be in danger,” he sald. He sald wolves were increasing in num- ber in this country, and that their annual depredations on cattle herds of the north and northwest amounted to $18,000,000, ITALIAN DEPUTY MUST FIGHT THREE DUELS Challenges Are Result of Too Free Use of Names of Two Noble Women During Debate. ROME, March 5.—As a result of having permitted himself to play too freely with the names of two noblewomea during a stormy debate in the Chamber of Deputies today, Eugenie Chiesa, the well-known re- publican deputy, must fight three duels. Count Glacomi Morando and Generals Pru- dente and Fecia are the challengers. 8ig. Chiesa addressed an interro the government on what he asserted was the influence of the Austrian Baroness Siemens on the Itallan army by reason, he alleged, of her having been on friendly terms with the Lieutenant General Tran- credl, Saletta, chief of staf:, and afterwards with General Fecia, the commander of the grand maneugers. General Prudente, undersccretary of war refused to answer the deputy, whereupon Chiesa heaped insults upon him and the army and also declared that the Duchess Litta had been a great favorite of the late \Cing Humbert. Deputy Morando, who Is a nephew of the duchess, Immediately boxed Chiesa's ears and then he and Gen- erals Fecla and Prudente challenged Chiesa to combat. ELKS CHOOSE NEW OFFICERS Sidney W.

H. B. Lemere, F. W. Coulter and F. W. Lake, who constitute the medical advisory committee. That system recelved the support of nearly all those present, only Commissioner Trainor and Dr. W. O. Henry arguing the posaibilities of the chief of staff system. Dr. Coulter made the principal taik in favor of separating the poor farm and the county hospital “It 1s impossible as things are now." sald he, “that we shall ever make the hospital efficlent. Whisky and opfum are being brought back Into the hospital by paupers and smoked and drunk among the invalids even it not given to them." It was agreed that there Is difficulty In finding ways and means for the separation and it was asserted that even if the poor farm is moved out some distance from the olty, the old bullding will be far from a modern hospital. “But the Improvement thus, over present corditions would be vast, said several of the phystclans in chorus. Dr. A. C. Stokes spoke with regard to the plans of the board of regents of the Uni- versity of Nebraska for the foundation in Omaha of a hospital in connection with the college of medicine and extreme desira- bility of the combiration of this with a county hospital. “The state will have comparatively few patients to send here,” sald Dr. Stokes, “and will appropriate annually a large sum for its malntenance. It is a great pity i some scheme cannot be worked out whereby the county will get the benefit of this."” Further Charge of Fraud Against Financier Ham Head of Defunct Mexican Concern Accused by Bank of Montreal of Securing Big Sum Wrongfully. <MEXICO, March 5.—Abuse of confidence In the handling of 1800,000 pesos (§760,000 gold) was formally charged against George I Ham, president of the suspended United States Banking company, by Manager 8. C. Saunder of the Bank of Montreal before Judge Miramon in the Seventh court of instruction here yesterday. At the same time negotiations for a settlement out of court of & clalm of Harwood A. Simpson, & mine owner, Who had also charged Ham with breach :of trust in connection with the disappearance of certain mining shares, which had almost reached completion, were halted by the court, As & consequence of these negotla- tions Ham 'was ordered again placed in- communicado for a perjod of ten days. Simpson and Ham and their attorneys ‘were in the court room. Ham's attorneys were prepared to hand over the money in settlement of the claim when the trans- action was called to the atteation of the court...Judge Miramon at once declared that such a settlement wolld permit the arrest of Simpson for compounding a per- Jury. It developed that Simpson had once glven Haim a power of attorney which con- tained statements said to contradiot testl- mony more recently glven in the present case. The court déciined to permit the withdrawal of Simpson’s charge. The charge brought by Manager Saund- ers alleg that Ham, by resorting to misrepresentations, had obtained from the Canadian institution a loan of 1,500,000 pesos a few days before the United States bank closed its doors. The money, it is charged, was devoted to other purposes than those advised when the application for the loan was made.

They also made a test of the 198 crop, m which the rate was about 30 per cent good.
