THE MORXING OREGOMAX. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, J908. HONDURAS ACTED WITHOUT CAUSE Removal of Consuls May Cause Quarrel With United States. DID NOT AID REVOLUTION Serious Dl.pute Causes Bacon to De lay Visit to Porto Rico Con sura Report Contradicts Honduran Minister. WASHINGTON. July 31. An unPlef ant situation has developed between thi United States and Honduras, growing out of the action of President Davlla .n cancelling the exequaturs of the Foreign Consuls at Cclba. Honduras, because or their alleged friendliness to the revolu tionist cause. These officers Include American Consul Drew Linard and V ice Consul Reynolds and the Vice-Consuls of France and Norway. The reports which have reached the State Department uphold the contention of the Consuls that they have not bee.i guilty of any breach of propriety; that they did not advise the surrender of the town when demanded by the revolution ists, as charged by Honduras, but simply communicated the demand to the com mandant. The incident has caused con siderable annoyance to this uovernmcn' which ever since the revolution In Hon duras commenced has exerted Its best ef forts to prevent any breach of neutrally In Central America which might prove adverse to President Davlla government. Assistant Secretary Bacon had a call -today from Senor I garte. the Honduran minister, who presentee. to mr. nome information ne nan rrccivcu Foreign Minister Fiallos. giving tg j - ,4 f thA rnn trovers V. con will take up the matter again next week. He had Intended to start on an official mission to Porto Rico tomorrow, 'but this and other State Department 'nuestkms demanding his attention made it necessary for him to delay his depart ure. . Mr. Ugarte showed Mr. Bacon two telegrams from the Honduran gov ernment relating to Its action in can colling the exequaturs of the former Consuls at Ceiba. The dispatches de clare that this action was taken be cause of the unlawful Intervention of the Consul In the political affairs of Honduras. "GASPIPE THUGS" HANGED San Francisco Murderers Go to Gal lows Without Flinching. SAN QUENTIN PRISON. Cal., July 31. John Slemsen and Louts Dabner. the notorious "gas pipe thugs-' of San Fran cisco, were hanged in the prison yard thla morning in the presence of 200 spectators. They went to their death calmly and made no scene at the end. Arrangements for the execution were carried out without a hitch. The Japan ese Consul in San Francisco and H. Beh rer.d, the man who caused the arrest of the pair after their crimes In San Fran cisco, were present. John Slemsen and Louis Dabner. who were today executed at San yuentln. committed a series or crimes in San Francisco soon after the earthquake and fire. They were executed for the mur der of M. Murakata. a Japanese banker, but according to their own confessions, they were guilty of two other murders and several assaults and robberies. Siem son. who was a native of Hawaii, had a long criminal record and once served a terra in San Quentin for grand larceny. Dabner was a mere boy from the Interior of the state, and a fruitless effort was made to secure the commutation of his sentence to life Imprisonment on account of his previous good character.

HENLEY. July 31. The Interna tional Olympic Regatta came to an end today with a sweeping victory for the United Kingdom oarsmen. - who have defeated all the continental rowers who participated In the races. The great event of the meeting was the championship eight, in which, after winning several heats, the: Bel gian crew went down to defeat In the final before the Leander crew. The Leanders won by two lengths and a half over a course one mile and a half long-, in 7 minutes and 52 seconds with comparative ease. The outcome of the contest was a great surprise. It was a battle of styles, the orthodox long stroke, well driven home, of the Brit ish oarsmen, against the short and fast stroke without any swing which twice has carried the Belgians to Tlctory In the Grand Challenge. Today's victory leaves all English men convinced that the old style of rowing Is better. The Leander crew led all the way. They were a length and a half in front at the half-way and continued gradually to widen the gap. A magnificent spurt of the Bel gians toward the finish resulted only In a momentary gain of a few feet. The home crew went away again and finished easy victors.

He frequently associated with and com pelled his wife to associate with a woman forcing his wife In their company and then treating his wife In a cruel and in human manner and withdrawing his so ciety and companionship at long Intervals from her." Mary Bogardus, a telephone operator at Poughkeepsle. married Mr. Tower In 1903. after the Iron master's first wife had killed her son and herself.

Tower was named In a suit for divorce brought by Liuls Wels, a wine agent, against his wife. Later. Mr. Tower was sued by Wels for HO0.00O for alienation of affections. LAWS NOT BROAD ENOUGH Inability to Extradite Mexican Reb els Worries Two Governments. : WASHINGTON. July 30. Inability to extradite offenders for so-called political offenses which. In the opinion of the Ad minlstiatlon. are really crimes that should be extraditable. Is proving a source of great irritation In the effort which the United States Government Is making to break revolutionary activity along the Mexican-Texas boundary. This, coupled with the difficulty in detecting and proving offence against the neu trality laws, renders It difficult to con vince the Mexicans of the sincerity of this Government In Its desire to punish the guilty. On his recent trip to Oyster Bay Ambassador Creel talked over the whole border trouble with President Roosevelt who Is determined to put an end to the trouble, so far as lies within the Government's power. The official view le that these people should be extradited as felons. Both the United States and the Mexican govern ment. It was officially said today, are fully aroused In this matter and the former will take drastic steps to end this species of pernlcuous activity so far as it Is Incident to United States soli.

American Member or Commission Tells Extent to Which Deadly Drug Is Used. WASHINGTON, July 81. Prepara tory to his trip to China to attend the coming meeting of the Interna tional commission which is to make a study of the opium traffic. Dr. Ham ilton W. Wright, one of the American commissioners, has been making an inquiry in various cities of the United States and obtaining information from official sources as to the importation and use of the drug in this country. Dr. Wright Is anxious to be prepared to tell the commission what the con ditions are here and he expects the other commissioners to do the same. The imports of crude opium from 1903 to 1907 were 1,000.000 pounds more . than in the preceding five-year period. Seventy-five per cent of the imports were manufactured into morphine and 50 to 90 per cent of that amount was Illegitimately used. The amount ot smoking opium Imported in 1S78 was 54.000 pounds and In 1907 it was 151, 000 pounds. notwithstanding there was a larger Chinese population in the former than In the latter period and Increased restrictions -had been im posed against its importation. Dr. Wright says there is an evident desire among manufacturers of the drug to obey the law lespertlng Its sale and that many of the Chinese are anxious to have the practice of smok ing it by their countrymen discontinued-Reports have been made regarding the use of the drug in different cities. For example, In New York about one third of the Chinamen, about 800 In number, are confirmed smokers. One estimate puts it at 50 per cent, while a great number of Chinese smoke' it to a lesser degree. Figures furnished to Dr. Wright also indicate that probably 60.000 white persons in New York City are opium-smokers. In Philadelphia it Is estimated that about 300 Chinamen are confirmed opium-smokers. The commission meets in Shanghai January 1, 1909. Fined for Discrimination. BATON ROUGE. La., July 31.
