U. S. REPRESENTATIVE
ACTS FOR SALVADOR
All Central America ii Interested In the
Outcome of Protest, as Interference
it Regarded at Radical Step on Part
of Washington.
. Washington, D. C, April 3. Mr. Co
rn, the Nicaraguan minister, called at
the state department . today and in
quired what authority Philip I. Brown,
secretary of . the American legation to
Guatemala and Honduras, had for his
interference with the bombardment of
Amapala, Honduras, by the Nicaraguan
foroes.
Mr. Corea's advices from his homo
show that Mr. .Brown went to Amapala
by the courtesy of the Nicaraguan of
ficers, assuring them that he hoped to
persuade President Bonilla, of Hondu
ras, to surrender, thus ending the bom
bardment of the city. The Nicarnguans
"consented to cease firing for twenty-four
hours. .
Before that time Mr. Brown went to
Launion, Salvador, and from there he
directed a protest on behalf of Salvador
against the renewal of the bombard
ment of Arhapala, Saying that Salvador
would regard such action as a declara
tion of war by Nicaragua against the
Salvadorean republic
' It is the desire of the Nicaraguan
government to learn by what right Mr.
Brown is acting for Salvador. Such in
terference on his part is a radical step,
and all Central American republics are
much 'interested in the outcome. State
department officials have refused to dis
close what Mr. Brown's instructions
have been.'' .'
President Bonilla is still surrounded
at Amapala so far as the state( depart
ment knows, out the bombardment of
the town by Nicaraguan gunboats has
ceased, according to dispatches received
today from Mr. Brown.
The United States cruiser; Chicago
.and the gunboat Princeton are both
known to be lying near the island on
which Amapala is situated, and the
presence of these two American war
ships is supposed to be largely respon
sible for the halt in the bombardment.

Mr. Taft agreed thai the commissary

of first necessity required for feeding

be imported. ,
The United States, the secretary
pointed out, desired that its employes
should enjoy the benefits of a first

wishing to visit the isthmus should be
enabled to see how the American tax
payers' money was being spent.
Sir. Taft was informed that a certain

by the present administration.
The first moves of these conspirators,
according to White House information,
are being made now in Ohio and New

President Roosevelt talked freely re

revelations relative to the campaign of

and the efforts that were made to make
the late Senator Ifanna tho leader of
an anti-Roosevelt fight in the national

Harriman Had Senatorial Ambitions
Incidentally, the President again paid
his respects to Judge Alton B. Parker,
the Democratic nominee in the last
campaign, and discussed Mr. Harriman
in the most scathing language, tlarri

and surrender to the police. He will

Barbee has made arrangements for furn

It is hardly probable that Hester,

"The defendants were indicted in

Special to Daily Industrial News.
Raleigh, N. C, April 3. The enforce
ment of the new street car "Jim Crow"
law in the Raleigh street cars beginning
April 1, ha given rise to many inter
esting and amusing incidents, especially
notable being the fact that Gov. R. 15.
Glenn was one of the very first citizens
to have to bo' "ordered" to his lawful
section of the car under th "Jim Crow"
regulations.
The governor Jmrried out of tho man
sion to take a car that was just pass
ing for the union depot, where he wa
to catch an early train for Holly
Springs. He hailed the car as he almost
ran from the mansion to the street, and
then he climbed in at the rear steps
and sank into one of the nearest seats.
Under the new law the rear seats are
for the negroes and so the conductor
under imperative orders to enforce this
law promptly informed hi excellency
that he could not occupy that seat and
must move to the other end of the car.
The governor promptly complied and
expressed his gratification at this illus
tration of efforts at enforcement of the.
