(Speoial to The Times)
Durham, Jan. J A City ordinnnoe
requiring all railways and traction
companies to -protect crossings with
Rates was passed last stimmer'and
today was the limit allowed to get
ready
The Norfolk & Western yesterday
completed all of its gates on Main
and Ramseur streets.? Thus far the
Seaboard and Southern do not seem
to have taken any such action. The
ordinance grew out of the city's dis
satisfaction with the way the suit
against the Southern, and the Sea-
hoard panned out, -which matter was
taken before the corporation com
mission and lost.
It's object was the erection of
an underground bridge over the Sea
board and Southern tracks. The or
der of the commission, was 60 per
11:11 fur uitl uutu Hiiu .? pm cent ioi
the Southern, with 15 per cent, for
the Seaboard. The city bucked and
began suit in the lower courts, re
quiring in the meantime that every
road put gates at all of these over
land .crossings. ,
It Is not known whether the South
ern and Seaboard will obey the order
or not, as there may be a hang-up
there. The Norfolk-& Western did
not fool about it.
The city has suffered the worst
break of pipes and the paralysis of
water pipes during the present freeze.
There is hardly a home without its
tribulations. One of these had a
holler to burst yesterday and demol
ish the china closet and gas range.
Other boilers have collapsed and the
city is beginning to fear to use its
stoves for cooking until there is a re
laxation. There are hundreds of
flo.-ded yards caked with ice.
The last year of the present de
cade began thiB morning in the midst
of a 1910 figure, tripped in beautiful
style by the young dancers of thiB
city and others, who cut that notch
in the cycle of years in the second of
this week's real festivities. ;
That isn't a very tony sentence,
hut the dance was all right. It was
not ono of such magnitude teat it
bankrupted the city directory. It
didn't take, half the population to
make it out. But it was what the
girls call "b-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-1" and they
know. It was informal, in a way, but
it was just as nice as it could have
been had it been planned deliberately
weeks ahead and all of the city was
in attendance. .
Miss Aylsworth, pretty enough in
personality and fairy-like enough
on the floor to be singled out, was the
honoree. She is the guest of Miss
Heien Gribble and is a Fostorian of
Ohio. Men paid extravagant tribute
to her dancing. She led with Mr.
Will Holnlan, of the city, who headed
the procession in every Intricate deal
it made towards an artistic figure.
This is probably the last of the
dances during the holidays. It took
nerve and energy to raise so many,
two, in this anti-dancing city. Of
the two last night's was the better.
The same devotees took their parts.
It was marked by youth, not to say
adolescence. Few of what contempo
raries call "the older set" were there,
though the men of antique flays were
much in evidence. That likable citi
zen, the stag, wasn't numerically
strong and the dance was by all ac
counts, nice enough.-
the couples were Miss Aylsworth
and Mr. Haywood McCabe, Mis

Mutes Have Evening.
At the home of Mr. N. 15, Green
the deaf and dumb people were en
tertained Thursday night at a flinch
party. ;
The astuteness of these people was
shown in their playing, which was
done in Bilence, but doubtless with
more thought and intensity: than
those blessed with all sense of hear
ing and speech. They took as great
Interest in' flinching as the most pro
nounced of advocates of this substi
tute for cards. The points of dif
ference were talked on-their fingers
and they enjoyed it,. Miss Roby Til-
linghast was interpreter ana kept tne
people who do not understand deaf
and dumb language an opportunity to
know something of their ways of
doing things. The party was thoir
most delightful social event of the
year.

' Blnefields, Nicaragua, Jan. 1
The peace of Central America de
pends on the success of General Es
trada, the rebel leader. Pledging his
word to the disarmament of Nicara
gua in the event of his victory, today
he ordered General Chamorro to
march on Greytown, and prepare to
load an expedition against Managua
unWland, Ciiamoiro is ordered to
proceed to Rama and there take com
mand of the insurgent forces, con
tinuing on to Greytown. There is no
prospect of peace with President'
Madriz being arranged.
Greytown, commanding the ent
rance to the San Juan river, by(which
Managua is reached by water, was
evacuated by a large government
force after the defeat to the Zelay
ans at. Recreo,' but is still held by a
force reported to number 300.
Estrada today, promising whole
sale reforms, outlined his political
ambitions.
"I desire to re-establish individual
liberty," he said. "There will be a
radical change in the methods of ad
ministration. I will free the courts
from the corrupting influences exer
cised by Zelaya and his partisans for
selfish purposes. 1 will guarantee in
dividual property lights.
"Should I be invested with the ex
ecutive power, my platform will be
the disarming of Nicaragua. The po
lice forces are sufficient to maintain
order and the expenditures on the
army would be better invested in
public improvements, and railroad,
mineral, and agricultural develop
ment work, t
"Disarmament would sooner ef
fect a union of the Central American
republics than the maintenance of
military forces, which only Serve to
create suspicion and discord.
The raising of the courts from
their present state of corruption to
their former standard will make for
morality, honesty and the advance
ment of public education, which must
be put within easy reach of all.
"The normalizing of the tariff with
reasonable rates on imports and ex
ports, and the elimination of the fre
quent wild changes without notice
are imperative. The present situa
tion is detrimental to commerce.
"The re-establishment of the un
trammelled rights of election for the
presidency at the end of each presi
dential administration is perhaps the
most important of all."
' Services of thanks have been held
in all the Bluefields churches for the
work of the American surgeons and

.lor;te, .former ice king; steamship
magnate, und dominant figure in' a
chain of banks,, today in the Tombs
made his meagre preparations for
leaving for Atlanta, There he will
begin his term of 15 years in the
federal "prison, for violating the na
tional banking laws.
Mrs. Morse, who has been his chief
lieutenant in his long light to escape
imprisonment,- will go with him.
"This means a life term," he said
to a friend today. Morse, if he lives
to he.' liberated,' will be 70 years old
when he is freed. ;
The arrangements for his depart
ure in the custody of United States
Marshal Henkel and tw'o deputies

th piisoner frm the gilze of the
curious. It is probable, however, that
he will leave on the 10 : 00-o'clock ex
press on the Pennsylvania Railroad
Sunday morning. ,
Martin W. Littleton, Morse's
counsel, today said the time of de
part tire had not been definitely set

The dropping of Morse's fight ends
one of the longest battles of its kind
ever waged in American courts. It
was expected that Littleton would
appeal for a writ of error to the cir

petition came up he did not. respond
to press the. matter. ';
When Mrs. Morse accompanies her

to her 'girlhood home. .". There she
married Charles Dodge, her first hus
