Zelaya debarked from the Mexican gunboat Guerrera this afternoon and left tonhnhl for Mexico City in a pri? vate car attached to the regular pas eengar train due in that city on Wed? nesday morning. "I am going to Mexico City to re? main for six months," he said. "If the climate agrees with me, I will send or go for my family. It it does net agree with me*I will go to some place In Europe. I am going to Mex? ico City to thank President Dlas and the Mexican officials for their kind? ness to me." Tho Onorrero with Zelaya and his party on beard, arrived outside the harbor last night where the boat lay until this morning. At a little past 8 o'clock It steamed to the dock and Zelaya appeared on deck to wave a .greeting to a crowd of townspeople which had gathered. He was accom? panied on his trip by Louis A. Cou? sin, his former secretary of war, Robert C. Bowe, hie secretary and former jefe politico, and several friends. 1 %o a representative of the Associa? tion fwootv whowtj he received this af Grace and Secretary Knox's note. Zelaya'* Side. "Cannon and Grace," Zelaya de? clared, "were engaged by the con? servative party and were brought from Guatemala by that party, which was working hand-in-hand with Cabrera. As they never had any ground for accusing me of any lnfrlngment of the treaty adopted by the Central American republics, they attempted to create a cause and began trying to Instigate a mutiny and armed rebel? lion, In order to forco the United States government to Intervene. "As regards Cannon and Groce, no one else In my position would have acted other than as I did. Neither of these men had any property In Nicaragua. Americans and other for? eigners holding property In Nicara? gua enjoyed protection at my hands the same as native born citizens, and they had the advantage of not hav? ing to pay direct taxes. "I think that Secretary Knox tDok harsh action agalrst me. I believe his object was that I resign. That I have done. I am now only a private citizen and such I shall remain. It Is my Intention not to enter politics again. The report that I had taken command of the government forces was absolutely false. I have not, and never intended to do so." Zelaya attributed much of his woe to Harry Caldera, the American vice consul at Managua. Of this he wild: Caldera a Partisan. "The United States government was grossly misinformed through this man about conditions In my country. The vice consul is a member of the con? servative party and an ardent de? fender of that party s views. With the object of overthrowing my gov? ernment, he made f>Use reports to Washington, which I firmly believe had much to do with the note of Secretary Knox.

Mexico City, Dec. 29.?"Mr. Knox Is not my Judge. I am answerable only to my government for my ac? tions." In these words Jose Sar\tos Zelaya. who arrived here this morning from Sallna Cruz, replied to a querry to? night as to what att.tude he wouid assume should Secretary Knox seek to extradite him from this country. Zelaya refused to discuss the proba? bility of such a situation but strong? ly intimated that the secretary of state Would not have the right to re? quest his presence in the United States. "I have no feeling against the American people at large, nor to the government," he said. "Secretary Knox has been systematically mis Informed and public opinion In the United States has been prepared against me, but the real facts must become known in time, and It Is to that time that I trust my vindica? tion. "My relations with the preceding administration were exceedingly friendly. The situation contains many unfortunate conditions both for our own pebple in Central Araer* lea and the Americans. Secretary Root had the complete confidence of Central America, and his policies were drawing the people closer to? gether, politically and commercially. I am afraid that the attitude of Sec? retary Knox Is undoing all that work throughout Latin America." Zelaya made the assertion that American marines engaged in sever? al recent battles In Nicaragua and that 20 of them were killed. He said: "Do you know that there were 400 Americans fighting with the inaur grnta>!U the recent battle of Rama? mi ? ytftf k no^iimi-*nx rxW' DUtfle ot Colorado Junction, on November 1, the bodies of 20 American marines were picked up on the field by our forces?all dead, and all from the American gunboats anchored In the river to protect American Interests? The official explanation given me was that these men were deserters." Zelaya tonight said he would not make any attempt to regain power in his country, but might return if he was asked by his government when peace was restored. That Zelaya is at liberty to return to Nicaragua when he pleases was the Information given out at the foreign office today. Sub-Secretary of Foreign Affairs Gamboa declared that it was only tacitly agreed that Zelaya was to re? main out If Nicaragua, but that so far as Mexico was concerned no at? tempt would be made to control his movements.

Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 28.?With tons upon tons of ice piled high against the pics of bridges spanning the Ohio River here and at points below Plitsburg, river traffic has been en? tirely abandoned and river men are preparing to cope with one of the worst Ice packs ever experienced in the local harbor.

PORTION OF NEW ENGLAND PAKALYZLD. is '1?.|| of the Sea Especially Hcuy About Cape Cod.?Telegraph and Telephone Lines Destroyed?Towns Without Trains For Two Days? Eighteen Dead In and About New York. New York* Dec. 2S.?With the news of the probable loss of the big five masted schooner Davis Palmer with her crew of 12 men, off Boston harbor and of the wrecking of nine other vessels along the Massachusetts coast, the opening chapter of the toll taken on the sea by the great storm which swept New England Saturday night and Sunday was bared to the world today. Cape Cod is still cut off and, with the restoration of communication there, It Is feared that a tale of marine disasters and storm damage unequaled In years will be related. Wreckage borne Into Boston har? bor today Is believed to be the mute evidence of the loss of the Schoch? er Davis Palmer, Newport News f^r Boston, somewhere near the entrance to the harbor. A signal box among the wreckage contained a burgee with the Palmers name as also did a quar? ter board found nearby. The wreck Itself has not been located. The three masted schooner Nan tasket was hurled ashore at Scitu ate and probably will prove a total wreck. Volunteer life savers with the breeches buoy rescued ? her crew of ten men. With a cargo of lumber she was bound for Boston from North Carolina. The schooner Belle Halllday' Is ashore at Brant Point, Xantucket exposed to the fury of the sea. The fate of her crew is unknown, but It Is believed that they have been res? cued. She Was from Philadelphia loaded with railroad Iron. On the rocky shores of Martha's Vineyard, two waterlogged schoon? ers are being swept by every sea. *neitLe fwiy A. *R. -McLean, a- rtHV tlsh vessel, bound from Perth Am boy to Halifax, and the Ston'.ngton, Maine, schooner, Maude Seward, Port Reading for Provincetown. The crews of both have been taken off. At Princetown the sloop Bonila Is aground and In the ilats of Ply? mouth harbor are four small schoon? ers similarly distressed. Southeastern Massachusetts, Capo Cod's Sandy Peninsula particularly, and Rhode Island suffered most from the storm and are still in the moit demoralized condition ati far as wire and transportation service go. Many places in southeastern Massachu? setts have not witnessed the arrival of a railroad train for two days. New Bedford and Fall River havo been cut off from telegraphic com? munication with the outside world since Sunday morning. Eighteen persons in and near New York perished in the Christmas bliz? zard or died from accidents caused by It. Six of this number died from exposure. Others were drowned and several were killed by trains. Wire communication, which was badly Interrupted during the worst of the blow, was given fairly good today except to New Engiand points. The Western Union had a few wires working to Boston but the Por.tal wires to that city were all down. The storm's effects were severely felt by the poorer classes of the pop? ulation. Blockades on railroads cre? ated a shortage of food supplies and a consequent Increase In prices. Boston, Mass., Dec. 28.?The dis? covery today of the wreck of the five masted schooner Davis Palme**, which sank with 12 men Sunday morning at the enrtance if Broad sound, was followed by the report of another wreck in the outer harbor. This second vlatim of the Rreat storm Which swept New England Saturday and Sunday was reported by ('apt. Komp of the tug Arial, who ass< its that he saw three masts of a schoon? er projecting above thS water near the shoals known as "the Graves." Although Capt, Kemp locates the vessel three miles east of the wreck of the Palmer, some marine author? ities think that he may have been mistaken In his boarings :n;.i that he saw the Palmer's masts, Beafaring men who believe that the tue boal captain is not in error about ins bearing! :n*<- discussing the possibility of a colllsslon between the Palmer and the unknown schooner.

Claims it is an Vnnatural Biological Condition to Have Two (lonely Al? lied Socles of Animals Living Side by Side In Same Area, a Con? dition Found in South?Is Unable to Condemn Southern Mill Condi? tions, a Boston, Dec. 28.?"It is an unnatur? al .biological condition to have two closeiy allied species of animals liv? ing side .by side in the same area,' said Dr. Charles W. Stiles, of the United States public health and mar? ine hospital service, in an address on the hook worm problem before the American Society for the Advance? ment of Science tonight. "The white man has brought dis? eases from Europe, which are deadly to the blacks, and the negro has brought certain diseases from Africa which are spreading with serious re? sults to the whites," added Dr. Stiles. He thought that the new move? ment towards more modern sanita? tion in the South would in time over? come the handicap resulting from alienating races living side by side. More than thirty division meetings marked the second day of the Con? vention of scientists, and large gath? erings listened to addresses on prob? lems of great scientific and industrial interest. The address by Dr. Smiles was one of the most important. Dr. Stiles spoke on the hock worm disease, of which he has made some extensive study. He declared that in the United States a law of nature was bsing violated when an effort was made to lodge different races of man side by side in the same area. Dr. Stiles said in part: "It is an unnatural biological con? dition to have two closely allied spe? cie? of animals living side by side in the same area. In this country' we have four races of animal viz: the white, the red, theritellow and the blavk man^nreaklsjc n5rui*e'g- Ylrw? by trying to live together. T;he com? petition of the individuals Is inten? sified by being extended to a compe? tition between the races, and we must in the end, submit to the workings of the law of the survival of the fittest. Different races may have different diseases, and after long generations of Infection a restive immunity may be developed, in a given race through the survival of the fittest individuals. This partial immunity to the serious effects of a disease does not imply immunity from infeotlon. On the contrary chat very Immunity may tend to make the partially immune race a reservoir for infection and that Infection when transmitted to a more susceptible race will, upon reaching such virgin soil, be very fatal. "The white race has brought to the South certain diseases from North Europe. These have spread with deadly effects to the blacks. The ne? groes have brought to the South cer? tain tropical diseases which have spread to the whites with serious re? sults. These conditions are not In any way blamable to the South as a portion of the country, but upon the fact that in the United States we are violating a law of nature when we at? tempt to lodge different races of men side by side In the same area. "It Is not an exaggeration to say that the negro in the South lives un? der a handicap because of the pres? ence of the white man s disease, and because of the presence of African diseases the white man there is aiso living under a handicap. Sanitary science, if backed by intelligent, prac? tical application and authority, can overcome that handicap. Theory de? mands that In rural negro localities afternoon.

JOE GARRIS, ACCl'SKR OF MIU DKIt COMMITS SVICHH: Brooding Over His Trouble??Pulls Pistol and Send* Ball Into Ills Heud After Alighting From a (Boggy* Walterboro, Dec. 29.?Joe Garris, a young white man 23 years old who was out on bond, charged with mur? der, committed suicide at the home of his uncle, Joe. T. Qarris, near Williams, in the upper part of the county. It will be recalled that young Gar? ris and two other yo.tng white men were charged with killing Israel Manigault, a negro, at Colleton Cy? press company's mill, October 27, and were to have been tried for this killing in November, but the case was continued by the solicitor. Tt is possible that he was brooding over this affair and that his mind became unsettled. The shooting occurred about 8 j o'clock at the front gate of J. T. GarHs, and the report given your correspondent by Heber Padgett, who was at. Mr. Garris' home at the time, throws no light on the cause cf I the tragedy. It appeals that (Mr. Garris, In company with Geo. Bran non, had driven from Williams, a j short distance away, to go by Mr. Garris' for the ostensible purpose of seeing his son, who was a cousin of young Garris. When they reached the gate, Mr. Brannon says, he got ou: en one side and went to hitch tbe horse, while Mr. Garrii alighted on the other. Almost immediately he saw Garris pull, as he thought^, a handkerchief out of his pocket and carry it to* hts mouth. Instantly there was a report and young Garris fell. Brannon called to the elder Mr. Harris to come out, tiat young Toe Garyls* had killed hin*, self. Mr.. Padgett rushed out to the gate, bog found young Garris hreaihlng Jhtg/v last. He went for Dr. F !ne?W-^n<> found that the ht\1\ynfi^ entered the In brain, ' producing- almost instait death. Garris had evidently placed the pistol in his mouth and fired. No reason ckn be given for this suicide and no one suspected that the young man Intended to do In Jury to himself. The only remark he made that was calculated to arouse suspicion was to his sister just before leaving home. She was brushing his qoat and he said to her, "It is no use ro brush my coat; I will not need it after today." The affair is regretted as the young man belongs to a large and highly respectable family.?The State. It is evident that Commander Peary had authority for his swift and emphatic denunciation of Dr. Cook. The opinion will prevail, neverthe? less, that he couid have afforded to wait.?New York Tribune. with anything less than good sani? tation we must find an extensive an? aemia among the whites, and prac? tical experience bears out this theory among the tenant whites of the South. "It is not only foolish, but cow? ardly to attempt to deny the existing conditions and pay for a faise sense of local pride at the price of the lives of women and children. Fortunate* ly, the better class of thought in the South is facing facts and organizing for an extensive campaign to im? prove sanitary conditions. And wren the South shall win Its noble fight against diseases the victory will be great and fully repay the efforts spent upon it." * Dr. Stiles, speaking upon child la? bor in the South, took a position whith some of his hoorofs might have judged radical. He said: "I have never defended child la? bor as an abstract proposition, but when I compare child labor and child misery upon the soil-polluted ono-horse farm with child labor un? der the vastly IWDTOVOd sanitary conditions In the southern cotton mins. I : rn forced t> the conclusion that the latter is infinit My hotter than the former, and if it came to a choice between the two for my yonug daughter, now 10 years old, my duty WOtttd compel me to choose for her a life in the spinning room of the average cotton mill of the South, whleh I have visited, in preference to a life of toil and misery on the average insanitary tenant farm 1 have studied. "I am triable to Join in the whole? sale condemnation of the South's cotton miils, for 1 recognize in them the best friends the tenant whites Of the South have."
