Puerto Cortez, Honduias, Feb. 7.— The first preliminary conference rel ative to an armistice in the present Honduran conflict was lield aboard the United States w^arship Tacoma yesterday afternoon. With the arrival of Dr. Barahona, the special peace envoy of President Davila, v.ho is expected here today or to-morrow, the conferences on the proposal of the United States government to cease hostilities and agree upon terms of peace will begin in earnest Yesterday’s preliminary discussion was participated in by Commander Davis, of the Tacoma: Maximo Riva- ra, minister general of the provision al governor, representing General Manuel Bonilla, and General Maximo B. Rosales, a former vice-president of the republic. The latter repre sents a strong political jiarty in Honduras which has taken no part in the present war. A schooner filled with Bonilla troops arrived here- late yesterday from Tela, but the men did not come ashore. General Lee Christmas, the American commander of the revolu tionary forces, is making prepara tions to take over the control of the affairs of Puerto Cortez, which have been administered by American of ficers since the evacuation last week by the government forces. General Christmas is anxious to get control of the customs house. A report has been freely circulat ed in the interior by Davila adherents that the revolution is being encour aged by the American government because the United States desires to secure control of the country. feat for re-election of the then senator J. Hopkins, rather than the eleva tion of Lorimer to the seviatoiial of- flee. Discussing the “jack iiot,'’ which Plnee Senator Hot’s speech and Sena tor Hale's conseqiiejit tieniiiiciiii ion, has come to possess exceiitioual in terest ill the senate. Mi‘. .lones said; “The conimitiee finds thar there was a ‘jack j)ot fund' that was used for or against legislation. It had been ip existence for many years. It had b';^- coiue w’ell Know'U iiiiijiirtenaiK.e of llu3 Illinois legislature.'’ This the senator thought threw nuioh light upon the testinuiny of the witnesses in the case, wiio confessed that they were i aid money after the election, iiut that no jiroinise had been made to them liefore elect !(»n that they were to receive any monev, and also that when they did receive the mony thy asgd no qiisilons. Th snator said; “It was not ncessary to promise any money, it was not neessaiy to a^;iv why the money was pc»id. Tiiis was a part of the system. “ruder such a condition of rhings what V,ould naturally hap:.ien? Those n.en who were looking for money for any act in connection wiih tl;p legis lative duties would tlocl arouiid this jack i»ot fund and arout'd those hand ling it like vultures around a carcass. When tl;ey came to the founrain head there was a complete under,''anding as to the course of procedure wiihout anything being said. “There was bicer and determined! opposition to the re-election of Sena tor Hoiikins,” said the speylicr. “There w'as strong opposiiion to him in the republican ranks and it also ap pears that among the democrats there was a very Intense hostility to him. “Money was used to defeat him and this money was put in tlie hands of tJie same person who handled the jack pot fund, if it was not put into the fund itself. The money was not mon ey to elect Txirimer; It w'as money to defeat Hopkins. If could lie used to elect any one they cotild elect so it was not TIorikins. This is the reason why Browne was so insistent that his men should not vote for Lorimer until he W'as sure that there w'ere enough votes TO put it over.’ ” Mr. Jones argued that in reality all of the thirty democratic votes influ enced by Len O’Neil Browne had been tainted. Finding the brilie givers to be as much at fault as the bribe tak ers, he said there was no douiit that seven fraudulent votes had bef^n cast for Ixjrimer. Deducting the seven votes from the Tx)rimer column but not from the vote, he found Lorimer to have l)e'-'n short of a majority. wauled to vote while going or leLurii- ing from work.
