She screamed for ald, but thete was no one to come to rescue her from the savage blows and kicks which he continued with- out mercy on the form of the mother who had lived alone for him. { His only reply to the moaning woman as she lay prostrate on the floor was a snarl and renewed demand for money with which to buy more liquor. For some time he sat in the house, 6 Germania averue, between Herman and Waller street 'f"l' len and heedless of his mother's suffer- ing, for which he was responsible. With an effort she raised herself and managed to reach her bed. SON’S BRUTALIT Every move was agony to Wr, but the unfeeling son left her to care for herself as best she could. Neighbors had become apprised of Mrs. Crane's condition and informed the police, who had her re- moved yesterday morning to the Central | Emergency Hospital.

The police are searching for Joseph B. de Ford, who is wanted for swindling sev- eral storekeepers in the city by obtaining goods from them on false pretenses. Yes- terday a warrant was sworn out by John J. Allen, special officer in the Emporium before Police Judge Cabaniss for De Ford’ arrest, and the police say that other wa rants will follow. The defendant, who is represented as a well dressed man and fluent talker, called at the Emporium on April 9 and informed D. Lubliner, one of the sales- men, that he had money on deposit in the Pasadena National Bank; that he was traveling for his health, and desired to purchase some goods. The salesman, be- lieving- that he had a man of wealth to deal with readily supplied him with $75 worth of goods and De Ford gave him a check on the Pasadena National for the amount. The check was returned as worthless, De Ford being unknown there. —_—— e Women Take Legal Steps.

He was overpowered and taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he was taken before his mother, who was then Iving in a semi-conscious state on a cot, surround- ed by physicians and nurses. Even the sight of his mother’s deplora- ble condition did not in the least move Crane to sorrow for his brutal acts. When searched he had in his posses- sion two formidable and ugly butcher- knives and a razor. There was also evi- dence that he had rented a house at 611 two days ago, but for what purpose is unexplained. He had also a peddler’s license to do business Crane was employed by O’Connor, Mof- fatt & Co. for thirteen vears and lost his position with the firm through his drinking habit about six years ago.

After her son lost his position Mrs. Crane earned a living as a domestic at the homes of her neighbors.

Colon Brings Details of the Chief Executive’'s Nero- Like Rule. The steamship Colon, which arrived | vesterday from Panama, brought from | Corinto a story of conditions In Nicar- agua, the detalls of which have not before evaded that republic's strict system of censorship. This page from recent his- tory is vouched for by the liner's officers. It tells of the cruel rule of President Jose Santos Zelaya and of his power diminish- ! ing before the activity of an aggressive | rival, it calls attention to the fact that the famous water cure is popular in the southern republic, where the use of salt water adds to the effectiveness of this confession inducer, it charges the corcup- tion of foreign consuls and throws an in- teresting light on the Monroe doctrine, as it is understood in Cenfral America. Emilfano Chamorro, the conservative general, seems to be the coming man in Nicaragua, his capture of Zelaya's fleet having won for him the confidence of that large proportion of the republic’'s popula- tion which loves a victor and can step with celerity in any direction which wili place them on the winnirg side. CAPTURE OF FLEET. The capture of Zelaya's fleet was a difi- cult task. The big naval battle was fdught off San Ubaldo and Granada on Lake Nicaragua. Captain Agosto of the gunboat Victorfa dropped dead during the flght and the captain of boat EI-93 was shot and killed while at- tempting to rally his men. The Govern- ment lost forty-two killed and twenty wounded. Twelve killed and eight wounded was the price pald for victory by the revolutionists. General Chamorro captured the gun- boat De Julio on March 10, and when the Colon left Corinto the revolution complete control of Lake a fleet consisting of the ous small sailing vessels. General Cham- orro is strongly fortified at Fort Carlos. “General Ortis, the newly proclaimed President, is on the march from Honduras with a large force,” so goes the story told the Colon's officers at Corinto, “and is golng to attack the Government forces at Leon. Chomorro and his fleet wiil attack the land forces at Granada. Chamorro has been largely reinforced by from Bocas del Colombia.” ILL TREATING FOREIGNERS. The Government troops are sald to be fll treating foreigners in the States of Chontales and Granada. Americans are hissed on the streets, because, it is said, | President Roosevelt has not enforced the Monroe doctrine s and Germany collecting their debts against Niearagua. Martial law 1is in force throughout the republic and tele- graphic communication is shut off from the rest of the world. Passports are not given to enter the country and it is al- most impossible to procure one leave ft. The revolutionary party is said to have the good will of all the business men, as the present government has, by excessive taxation, almost ruined the country's commercial interests. Exchange is now quoted at 1000. General Chamorro, in a recent inter- view given at his headquarters at San Ubaldo, denounced Zelaya as a tyrant, murderer and robber. “He has imprisoned our fathers and sons,” said the general, “because they were not of his political views. He has murdered and burned our countrymen at the stake in front of his palace. He has refused to allow the removal of their bodies, but, by his orders, they were left exposed upon the beach until removed piece by piece in the beaks of carrion birds. Our beautiful city, Granada, has been humiliated and pauperized. Our clubs have been closed, our families in- sulted, our homes confiscated. Zelaya has robbed Nicaragua of $12,000,000, which he has distributed among the generals of the various Central American republics for the purpose of fostering revolutions.” TORTURES POLITICAL ENEMY. General Emiliano Chamorro and his brother Henrlquez, second in command, | are in the crushing of Zelaya settling personal grievance. They belong to one of the best families in Nicaragua. Thelr father was one of Granada's millionalre merchant: He offended Zelaya po- litically, was thrown Into prison, his es- tates were confiscated and his family turned away homeless. He is still in prison and is said to be constantly sub- jected to inhuman Qquisite tortures, designed for his benefit by Zelaya himself. One Castro and a Salvadorian were also victims, it is alleged, of Zelaya's Nero- like precocity. Castro had expressed his political views too freely. He and the man from Salvador were arrested and ac- cused of having inspired the plot to blow up the quartel of Managua.
