Come Early and MEEKER TEDDY'S NAME IS CHEERED TO ECHO Frank B. Kellogg, Government's Chief Trust Buster, Gives Roosevelt Credit for Check on Railroad Re bates. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 1. The name of Theodore Roosevelt wa3 very lustily cheered hero by three J hundred leading merchants, manufac turers and shippers, when Frank It. Kellogg, the government's chief "trust buster," gave him tho credit for tho enactment of laws preventing ; railroad rebates and today thero is much speculation as to tho signifi cance of tho demonstration. Kellogg delivered his nddress on the relation of the railroad to tho government last night. If the roads should form one big combination, declared Kellogg, ,t would be necessary for the govern ment to regulate all the details of their business. He urged ngninst the allowing of railroads to control steamship lines and declared, that the Panama canal would be uselcs if it did not develop competition. Kellogg pointed out that if the rail roads are permitted to gain control of the steamship lines plying be tween tho Atlantic and tho Pacific coasts before the opening of the cn nal, the public will awaken to tho re alization that tho great waterway will not havo the expected effect on transcontinental railroad rates. Kellogg then declared that former President Rooosevelt's stand hnd made possible and was responsible for the laws which abolished rebating ( by railroads and at this point he was interrupted by loud cheering. 1 He then declared that ho bclcived , President Taft would carry on this I work. The statement, howovor, did ' not arouse any display of enthusiasm. MOTHER BEATS FIRE OUT WITH HER HANDS VALLEJO, Cal., March 1.

TO AID OHWADRIZ Feeling in Central America Is Bitter Against United States Many Sal vadoreans Also Aiding the Gov ernment. NEW ORLEANS, Mnrch l.The waning fortunes of tho government forces in Nicaragua were improved today by nddition to tho regular army of five hundred Hondurnn soldiers, according to dispatches received hero from tho front. The Hondurans joined the army of President Madriz at Manngua, in spito of the efforts of tho provisional forces to prevent n junction. The Hondurans are believed to bo com manded by General Lara who was op posed to the insurgent general Chnm orro in tho bloody bnttlo of Tipitnpa river. The reported entrance of Hondurnn troops into tho Nicaraguan struggle is vouched for by deserters from tho government. ' Tho renegades dcclaro that many Salvadoreans also are fighting for Madriz. It is believed hero that the activity of American soldiers of fortune in the insurgent army lent to the strength of Madriz to persuade the Hondrans to enlist in his causo. Feeling in Honduras against the United States is bitter. Yesterday certain measures asking for concessions to several United States senators were hooted off tho floor of congress at tho Hondurnn capital.

The General Electric Radiant Toaster lightens breakfast tasks and quickly pays for itself hy saving time and bread. Come and see a demonstration of this electrical convenience.
