TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION
The Secretary of State in an Official
Statement Owtfinee the Govern/
mt'Ut's Policy Toward the Two
^ Faction*.?-M adri/.'s Protest Required
Special Action.
A dispatch from Washington says
Madriz has drawn from this government
a sharp reply to the protest he
tOjAde to President Taft, claiming
that the United States had prolonged
the war in Nicaragura because it
refueed" to ' allow the bombardment
of Blueflelds, or even to allow Uie
Venus to maintain the blockade
, (there.
V v Consul Oliveres at Managua has
been furnished with a statement,
which the consul has been directed
to hand to Madriz. It tersely observes
that if any violation of netraiity
has occurred, it was when the
V *nui? sailed from New Orleans or
an expedition of the Madriz. faction.
Madriz protested not to the United
States alone, but to all the South
American and Central American republics.
The statements which he
set forth in hla telegrams are construed
by the state department as
nothing less than an effort to place
in a false light the policy the United
States has adopted with dealing
with the Nioaraguan affairs.
svpoAition thereocmfwy etaoinshr
Some of the governments which
received his protests have asked for
Information from Washington upon
which tp base their replies, and
there has been an exchange of telegram*
between President Din/ of
Mexico and President Taft.
President Diaz, it is explained,
merely* asked for information acd
President Taft, replying in a cordial
manner sent to the government of
Mexico City the same statement that
Consul Oliveres has been directed to
hand to Mudriz.
Secretary Knox immediately decided
that the Madriz protested required
the special notice of this gov
emm^'nt because the allegations
made evidently were founded on error
as to the actual facts and the
applicable principals of international
law.
"A reply was demanded," an official
statement issued today says,
"because the United States would
hesitate to allow to pass unchallenged
a statement from any source
which might tend, to however slight
a degree, place its position in a
fa lee light."
The statement which Consul OIiveres
has be^n instructed to hand to
with S**cretary Knox's policy of
keeping both factions informed of
this government's attitude has also
been sent to the Estrada faction, is
as folows:
"The policy of the United States
remains as set forth in the secretary
of stat's letter of Dec. 1, 1 909,
to Mr. Rodriguez, then charge d'affairs
whereby relations with the Zelaya
government were broken off.
That letter and statement of the consistent
applications of the same policy
to conditions as they arose were
duly published.
"As to the statement made in the
telegram of Dr. Madriz to the President,
the government of the United
jf States took only the customary step
- * * -Lii.iiJ.,/, w/lmnnt f\ r tip ht?
OI pTOIll I>1UU^ i^lliuai uiiicui w 4 .? v
Ing by either faction within the unfortified
or ungarrisoned commercial
city of Minefields, thus prot> cting
the jjroponderiux American and other
foreign Interests just as the British
commander had done at Greytown
where there are large British
interests. The government of United
Statee has acknowledged the right of
eaoh faction to maintain a blockade
hut ha? refused to permit vessels illegaly
and clandestinely flted out in
American waters, to interfere with
American commerce.
"The government of the United
States simply insists that each faction
shall collect duties only for t- rTltory
under Its de facto cntrl, and
refuses to permit the collection of
tctaMble duties.
"If any violation of neutrality has
oocured, it was in conection with
the sailing, of the Venus from New
Orleans as an expedition of the Madrlz
faction.

Bomb Bursts at Warsaw.
'A bomb was exploded with fatal
results in a squad of gendarmes at
the Gorzisk station on the Vienna

Motorman Kndfurored to Save the
Passengers of Hi* Car, While Himself
Su.staining Fatal Injuries.
Charles Diver, a motorman, lies
from in juries he sustained Sunday
while endeavoring to save passengets
on his car from the deadly electric
fluid of a broken feed wire.
The car, with others, had been
stopped where overhead wires were
in progress on the Cabin John
Bridge line. The passengers had
left the car and were walking
about. Two young women approached
too near the sputtering feed wire.
Diver saw their danger, leaper forward,
brushed them aside, and with
a newspaper in his hand, seized the
wire. T.he current hurled him back
against his car aud his clothing
burst into flames.
As scores of people looked on
shuddering at the spectacle of the
burning man, some one sprang forward
and smothered the flames with
a coat. Diver was then lifted and
borne to the bank of the Potomac
river nearby where water was
thrown on liiin aud fruitless efforts
made to bring him back to consciousness.
It was long after he
reached the hospital that he regained
consciousness. His wife, who
had been a mother but two weeks
and who had risen and come to his
side, was told that there was little
chance of his recovery.
JtAIXS lll'KT COTTON.
Favorable Week Iteported for Crop
Kxcept in Tlir?*e State*.
The Commercial-Appeal of Memphis,
Ten n., Monday published the
following summary of the cotton
crop renditions:
"The. past week was favorable to
the cotton crop except in the two
Carolinas and parts of Georgia,
where the rainfall was excessive,
washing the fields and d- laying cultivation
so that grass is feared. The
Carolina fields were damaged by
flooding. Otherwise it appeared that
a week of bright wtather will repair
much of tiie loss.
"The crop has not grown rapidly
and is still small for the season,
the plant g> nerally looks healthy,
however, and would grow very fast
with high temperature day and
night. Pa many sections wher<
there are complaints, correspondents
anticipate much better reports next
week if the weather is warm. It
would seem that a week of dry
weather would put the crop in excellent
shape as to cultivation over
the South.
"In Texas the soil is dry but as
yet little hurt .has been received.
Moisture is needed, however, to
stimulate plant growth. Soil weevils
do not app? ar numerous, although
in Mississippi and some sections
of Ivouisiana they are more so.
In general dry. warm weather is
needed in east Texas and Oklahoma,
while rains would be beneficial in
these two states." *'

$3,000 worth of diamonds and $300

MAKES REPORT
Beyd-!>ock Case New fifth Governor
Aasel Fer Decision.
TESTIMONY REVIEWED
Assistant Adjutant (Jonml William
T. Brock Mxoncrnted of I'olitical
Charges.?It Is Thought that the
Office Will Ho Made an Ap|>ointive
One In the Next Few Vears.
Tli., ? e _ i.i_:
1 lit* CUI1II LM 1 11 l| II I I V SIIL1I1K r I iday
night exonerated William T.
Brock, the assistant adjutant general,
of the charge of acting a political
traitor to J. C. Boyd, the adjutant
general, but condemned hi* actious
in several instances with reference
to the filing of expense accounts and
his expenses incident to the inspections
of the State militia during the
past several years.
The court in its report severely
criticised Uie general system of tiling
expense accounts as practiced by
Col. Brock.
All of the testimony taken by the
court is reviewed in detail. The
court reached 110 decision as to what
steps should be taken, but simp )
reported the facts in the case.
It is left with Gov. Ansel as to
what action will be taken. Gov. An-I
sel instructed the members of iliej
courts to make the report public, j
Gov. Ansel will 110 doubt make some
announcement when he returns to
the State.
As to Col. Brock's expenses while I
in Columbia during the period of'
inspection, the court .holds that by '
no rule can this charge to the State
be i list i fif?d I
? I
With reference to the Utter of
General Boyd, in which he charged j
that Col. Brock "has wantonly wast-,
ed the State's money." it is held by !
the court that the evidence fails to
disclose any criminal intent on the
part of Col. Brock, but "that he was
unfortunately ignorant of the responsibility
of the high trust reposed in
him and careless and extravagant in *
his administration of tlie trust." |
In reviewing the mi'eage hook |
charges as to the number of mileage i
books used by Col. Brock, the court i
says: "It appears to the court that
the public business did not demand
so much travel on the part of tiiej
accused oflleer."
Concerning the tiling of expense
accounts by Gol. Brock with the1
comptroller general, the court says': I
"if such has been the custom of the
office it is to be condemned, but we
fail to see wherein this can justify
Col. Brock in tiling in the office of
the comptroller general accounts containing
items which were false and
which he knew to be false at the .
time."
The members of the court who
were appointed by Gov. Ansel are. |
Wilie Jones, brigadier general; Col.;
William W. Ivewis, of the First regiment.
Col. Edwin R. Cox. of the Second
regiment and Col. Julius 10. Cogswell
of the Third regiment. Gen.
Jones was the president of the court
and Col. Cogswell the recorder. I
The court was to have met Friday
morning at 9 o'clock. It was
t'nxn/l ?... I : - 1J t- -
lukiuu nun vi-'l. I ji" ? 1M V? W 111 < J l)t* 1111II"
hie to attend, so the session was
postponed until 9 o'clock Friday
night.
S" veral weeks ago Adjt. (Jen. Boyd
announced that he would not offer
for reelection. Following this announcemet
W. T. Brock, the assist-,
ant adjutant general, announced his
intention of entering the race for adjutant
general.
For several days tlicre was nothing
said concerning the situation in
the adjutant, general's cilice. (J n.
Hoyd went to Charleston and Orangeburg.
When he returned he >vus
very bitter toward Col. Brock and i
issued a statement to the press in |
w.hich he charged that his assistant
had acted as a political traitor..
When the first statement was issued
Col. Brock was making the annual
inspection of the State militia.!
He Immediately directed a letter to
(iOV. Ansel, asking that he appoint
a court of inquiry to investigate the I
charges of Adjutant General Boyd. 1
Gov. Ansel took t.ho matter under advisement
and did not appoint the
court at that time.
While Gov. Ansel was considering
tnc matter of appointing a court of
inquiry, Adjt. Oen. Boyd went to *
liim with n statement us to the it?*tn- <
ized expanse account of Col. Brock.
Later (ien. Boyd issued a statement
in which 4ie charged Col. Br.,ok ,
with wasting the money of the State
while making the annual inspections
of the State militia during the past
four years. Several other charges
were made In the letter. (Jen. Boyd
in an unoltlcial way called upon Gov.'
Ansel to appoint a court of inquiry!
to investigate the expense accounts
of Col. Brock, Again Gov. Ansel
took this char re under advisement
in ao unofficial way.
In the meantime Col. Brock completed
the inspections of the State
militia and r< turned to Columbia.
Before Gen. Boyd made public his
charges, Col. Brock went to Governor
Ansel and asked If a paper .had not
been tiled with him by Gen. Boyd.
, Gov. Ansel explained the charges of
Gen. Boyd as to the expense account.

A dispatch from Louisville, Ky.,
says Governors of four states had
narrow <>scnps Sunday while riding
from Versa ilea to Frankfort in an
automobile, when lightning twice
struck near them. Those who were
in the party included (lov. Hadley,
of Missouri, and his wife; Gov. Ansel,

AROUSING WELCOME
Men Prominent in all Walks of IJfe

Were On Hand to Bid Him
Welcome. Will Have Nothing to
Say About Politics.
Theodore Roosevelt set foot on
home shores for the first time in
about fifteen months and received
a rousing welcome 011 Saturday as
he landed at New York.
The sharp crack of the familiar
presidentian salute awakened Mr.
Itcos* velt at seven o'clock as -his*
ship, the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
drew into the harbor. From the
mists of early morning emerged the
drab .hull of the battleship South
Carolina, two lean, swift destroyers
and two torpedo boats behind her.
Then spoke the guns. Blue clad
sailors lined the decks in close
packed ranks, while massed 01. the
quarter deck of the South Carolina
stood the marine band, a solid splash
of scarlet coats, pounding out The
Star Spangled Banner."
It did not take the colonel long
to get 011 the bridge, dressed for the
formalities of the day in a frock
coat and a top hat. For a moment
lie stood bare-headed and waved to
the men in silent answer to their
cheers. Then the sight of the South
Carolina touched a heart string.
"By George, that's one of my
sh!hps, he exclaimed, "doesn't she
look good. 1 built her and those
torpedo boats, too."
He bore with his usual boyancy a
day of heavy fatigue, public duties
and private emotions comingled and
at 4:10 o'clock that afternoon left
the city he had surveyed the same
morning from afloat, reviewed in
parade ashore and greeted by explicit
word of mouth to be welcome
more intimately by nis life-long
neighbors at Oyster Bay, H. 1., that
night.
As a private citizen he was still
the same vfgorous man the city has
known for 150 years in various public
ofliccs from assemblyman to
president.
He had an expansive smile for
everybody, a cheery word for "the
boys," his old friends the newspaper
men, a pat anecdote for politicians,
especial greetings of affection" for
his old command, the Hough Riders,
and a quick eye for absolutely everything.
"Roosevelt good luck" still followed
i.s namesake. Though hot
tnd sut ry. the weather held fair
until the marine parade, the exercises
at the battery and the march
up Broadway and Fifth avenue to
Central park had been carried
through with punctuality and precision.
Then it rained great guns. A
torrential thunder shower, accompanied
by a high wind that did
much damage, swept suddenly down
on the homeward bound visitors, but
deared again shortly before live
o'clock.
The welcome of Roosevelt was
shot, through with a daniatic expectancy
which long ago found popular
expression in the typical phases,
"the return from IClba."
His welcome brought men prominent
in all walks of life from ail
parts of the country?therefore it
was national.
The first zest of public curiosity
satisfied, speculation now turns on
what share Roosevelt will take in
an acute political situation within
his own party. Hut on that score
speculation must rest unsatisfied
The Col. has positively declared his
intentions by wireless the night before:
"1 shall .have nothing whatever
to say in the immediate future about
politics." He kept his word.
Tti erefore there was nothing in
the only speech he made at New
York Saturday that could he construed
as. applying specifically to
this or that phase of immediate
State or national issues. That he
tfill be importuned to take a hand
in the New York campaign this fall
is a foregone conclusion, hut by
his own declaration he will not commit
himself to any expression of
opinion until he has acquainted himself
at tlrst hand with just how th*
political iwud shapes its< if.
