M. air. and Mrs. Roosevelt stood behind the Justice's railing and the townspeople tiled by, shaking hands and extending farewell greetings. Many of the towns people had not seen their distinguished first citizen slnoe he relinquished his great office and returned here to become a "private- citizen of the privatest kind." At each of the churches Lenten services hsd been held during the evening and at their conclusion the people hurried to the hall. Campaign Buttons Again.. Street venders of novelties had early come to town from New York -with a large supply of Roosevelt banners and buttons left over from the 1904 campaign and the 105 inauguration. They had lit tle trouble In disposing of their left-over wares to the natives, who seized upon the opportunity of securing a last souve nir bearing the ex-President's portrait. Notwithstanding the announcement that the reception was to be given to Oyster Bay residents only, many persons from nearby towns finally secured admlselon to the hall. Among them were a num ber who had known Mr. Roosevelt for imany years and who felt they were en titled to Join his neighbors in the demon stration. Noncommittal on Politics. For everyone the ex-President had a (hearty greeting. Almost every mother in the village brought her children and Mx. Roosevelt was especially pleased to see them. A colored youth was one of the first to come along. He remarked to Mr. Roose velt: "I've carried the Roosevelt banner In two campaigns and I hope I shall have the honor of doing so again." To this Mr. Roosevelt replied smil ingly: "Time alone will tell whether. you are to be afforded that opportunity." One young woman wore a Teddy bear pinned on her coat. This Mr. Roosevelt spied at once and remarked: "All the Teddy bears are not dead yet ere they?" Wants Tloosevelt's Deposition. Just at the end of the line came a by stander who had been posing as a news paper reporter and who went up to Mr. Roosevelt, held out a number of papers and asked him to sign his name. Mr. Roosevelt declined. The papers were dropped at Mr. Roosevelt's feet and the man hurried out. It was found that the papers contained a court order directing thft tA.1clnsr Of XT r- trnnDaii.il. -3 ! . i e - .niu."Jiin B utTJJJlt.lOH, In the case of Peter A.

March 12. (Special.) A tremendous effort is to be made to set tle the steamship rate war between the seaboard and Gulf ports, and between Jhe seaboard and the Pacific Coast. The war is causing the railroads west of Pittsburg, Buffalo and Chicago a tre mendous loss of tonnage and revenue, and is also causing merchants of ttae Middle West,a large loss of business. Since the steamship rate war began, rates by way of all-water and ocean-and-rail routes to the southwest and the Pacific Coast have become so low that shipments are being backhauled to the seaboard from points as far west as Indianapolis. So severe has become this loss of tonnage that Western roads are begin ning? to cry for help, and Chicago mer chants are complaining that merchant In the Middle East are taking trade away from them for Southwestern and Western points. Even the Harrlman lines are suffering, and traffic officials of the Southern Pacific are interesting themselves in trying to end the steam ship war. In the meantime, Harrlman is getting a good dose of his own med icine, and it is understood that it does not taste good. COLLEGE WRESTLERS LOSE Spokane Athletic Club Captures Elve Out of Six Events.

T ............ 1 J ' f if j i 1 - -T if y St " j TV r UTAH CASH STOLEN State Treasurer Christiansen Returns $70,628. CONFESSES, GOES TO JAIL Appropriates Two Large Tax Pay ments to Carry Through Nevada Mining Scheme Bondsmen Make Good Amount. SALT LAKE CITY. March 12 A short age or J70,62S.4 in the funds of the state, discovered less than a week ago. has been repaid to the last penny and James Christiansen, ex-State Treasurer, admit ting the defalcation. Is awaiting a settle ment with the criminal law in the County Jail. Restitution was made by his bonds men, after the delinquent official had turned over to them all his mining hold ings and his wife had mortgaged her home to swell the amount of the secur ity. The bondsmen say they will lose but little. Christiansen has retained ex-Congressman W. H. King and brother as counsel. The attorneys say that they will de mand a speedy hearing, but refuse to outline their further course. Mr. Chris tiansen passed mopt of the day in a cell, but was allowed to go to sleep tonight on a cot in the office of the Jail. The County Atttomcy will Hie a complaint charging embezzlement tomorrow morn ing. Ball will be fixed and Mr. Chris tiansen will probably sleep at his own borne tomorrow night. Although he has admitted the appro priation of the state's money and there is evidence of a clumsy attempt to hide the deficit by falsification of the books of his former office. Christiansen receives more sympathy than condemnation. "He la the victim of his friends," is tho com ment of those who know most of his personal affairs. Friends Borrowed Funds. It is related that supposed friends Interested him In certain mining enter prises, principally in Nevada, and when funds ran low, appealed to him with every form of argument and art of .persuasion to save their undertakings from ruin by raising the sum needed to put them on a paying basis. Every assurance was given him. It Is alleged, that his advances would be repaid without fail on a given date. In the end Christiansen yielded. The money was supplied, but it was not re turned on the date promised. Payment was postponed from time to time, and. it is bitterly asserted by Christian sen's loyal friends, his last despairing appeals for a return of the loan were coldly Ignored. Stole Two Checks. The investigation disclosed- that Chris tiansen on May 28. 1908. had taken $10, 628.94, which was paid by Mrs. Julia A. Kimball as an inheritance tax. On Jan uary 4, of the present year. County Treasurer John Groeebeck. paid Chris tiansen $60,000, a portion of the county taxes due the state. For both of these amounts, Christiansen gave receipts from the back of his receipt books. The dis covery of a shortage came when the County Treasurer paid the balance of tho county taxes to Christiansen's successor. The formal examination of the books of the office began and the disclosures were made. Christiansen was in Chafey, Nev., look ing after his Interests. He was Informed of the conditions of affairs by wire and he returned to this city last Tuesday. He met his bondsmen and confessed. With two men in attendance ho was kept under surveillance until after the story became public. Publicity was followed by formal arrest and Imprisonment. Put Money in Mining Deal. Christiansen said he used the money in mining operations In Nevada, being heavily interested in the Dletrirk Mining & Milling Company. It was the inten tion of the incorporators of this com pany to build an ore-reducing plant to work tho dump of the old Comstock mines. Christiansen paid about $io.OOO into the company and the construction was begun. It was stated his associates failed to raise their share of the money needed and Christiansen, fearing the loss of the money he had already invest ed, which belonged to the state, took more money and completed the mill. He was also Interested In the Rosedale Min ing Company near Vlrgina City. Audit All "County Books. The State Auditor has called upon all County Treasurers for statements of tho inheritance and state taxes for 1908 and is preparing to send traveling auditors to every county to examine the accounts and compare them with the books of the State Treasurer, with a view to learning whether there is a further shortage In the state's funds. For several years previous to his elec tion as State Treasurer. Christianse was cashier of a bank In Richfield, this state. He has also been active In state politics and is at present treasurer of the Utah Board of Commissioners of tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. He has a wife and three children. To Indemnify his bondsmen. Christiansen has transferred all his property to them. WIFE SAYS SHE WAS JILTED MIIS. CHESTER GRAVES HAS HER If ITS BAND ARRESTED. Alleges He Stole Diamonds and Gave Them to Another Woman and She Wants Revenge. Because he had Jilted her. she says and devoted his attention to another woman. Chester Graves, 29 years old a real estate agent from San Francisco was arrested on complaint of his wife last night and now lies in the County Jail accused of the larceny of $1500 worth of diamonds. He was unable to furnish the 5000 bonds required by the District Attorney's office for 'his release. Graves owes his downfall to Mrs. Graves, who has resumed her maiden name. Grace Parker, and is liv ing at the Oneonta apartments, room 23. on Seventeenth street. between Yamhill and Taylor. By her husband's arrest Mrs. Graves seeks to recover the possession of a. number of diamonds which she alleges were her own . personal prop erty and with which her spouse sud denly and mysteriously disappeared one night last June. Since his desertion of her last Summer, Mrs. Graves says she has assiduously worked to locate her wandering husband and bring him within the pale of the law and of her revenge. She discovered that ho had gone to San Francisco and opened an office there, and using all the wiles in hor powe- she determined to coax, wheedle, cajole, entreat or by whatever means she might, induce the object of her wrtith to come back to her so that she might wreak vengeance. , Some correspondence then she fcays re sulted In Graves returning to Portland, and last night they met by appointment at tho comer of Second and Alder streets for the purpose of starting negotiations for a reconciliation. Here, however, is where Mrs. Graves displayed her ability as a strategist. Her trump card was Con stable Lou Wagner, who accompanied her, armftt with a warrant Just freshly Issued from Justice Court on an in formation of felony filed late In the after noon by Doputy District Attorney Frank X: HenueBsy. Then the dapper little constable drew from his pocket a formidable-looking document, and read It aloud to him. in forming him that ho was tinder arrest. Mr. Gravfa said he wished he had staid in San Francisco, and that you couldn't trust a woman anyhow when she was Jealous, or words to that effect. Then Mrs. Graves celebrated the family reunion by fanning Mr. Graves with a verbal "dressing down." The Graves family, up until last June, had been living In Portland for the pre ceding year, having come here from some point in the East, but further than this, little Is known of them. Mr. Graves admitted finally having taken the Jew els, but said that he had been the vic tim of a fire while In San Francisco, and that the Jewels burned up. Mrs. Graves contends that, the Jewelry was given to another woman who Is now In San Francisco and whose Identity has not yet been brought into the case. The matter will have Its preliminary airing today In Justlco Court. WISE TALKS OU PROPHECY CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF JUDAISM THE TOPIC. Power of Goodness, He Declares, Is Greatest Fuctor In Human Activities of Today. Congregation Beth Israel heard Rabbi Jonah B. Wise In a talk on "Phophecy" last night, that was inter esting from tho viewpoint of the his torian, religionist or psychic student. He held that many of the customs and traditions of Judaism may have been In ancient times gleaned from contacting races and peoples to bo moulded and transformed In compli ance with the characteristics of the Hebrew racial mind. But the unique institution of prophecy remained with Its peculiar force, always and only an adjunct of true Judaism. Not that prophecy Svas fostered by the ecclesiastical classes: far from It. Rabbi Wise explained the "business" of prophesying even In those days was considered decidedly bad form and ex tremely Impolite. "And Is Saul now also among the prophets?" was a phrase of reproach, because some of the then ex isting schools of prophets produced their exalted mental states by strip ping and lashing themselves Into a frenzy to the rhythm of the weird swirl of the music of reeds. Until long after the days of Amos, the various cults of prophets and their practices were looked upon, said tho speaker, much as we now look upon the antics of the Holy Rollers. However, prophecy as an institution finally began to reach into Its higher phases and then Its true mission re vealed Itself. The message of prophecy to mankind was that there Is no greater power to save than tho universal power of good ness, and the activity of prophecv lay ever In the breaking awa;- from prlest Ilness. When the simple prophet ap proaches, speaking "as one having- au thority." the messlve bulwark of priest craft which he assails has ever trended toward the destruction and not the bolstering of the religious system that the priestly class represents. It was some manifestation of the old spirit of prophecy, tho rabbi concluded, that In stigated the various historic religious reforms and beneficial schisms, such as that headed by Martin Luther. Somewhat after the commencement of the service, following the organ preludlum and opening number of the choir, the "Berceuse" of Jocelyn was again played by Herman Heller, who also rendered the subtle "Melodle" of Ole Bull prior to the close of the service. BIG STICK FOR NICARAGUA fContlnud From First !- closely watched by the American and Mexican governments, which have now come to an ttnderstandtng that the tlnm has arrived when drastic measures should be enforced to insure peace in the Cen tral Anaerlcan republics. Ambassador La Barra, of Mexico, spent some time at the State Department today In conference with Assistant Secretary Wilson. and the dternilnatlnn was reached that if tho American warships now In Nicaraguan waters and to be sent there are not Bufficlcnt to Impreu President Zelaya that the treaty of peace entered Into between the Central American republics is to be lived up to, more radical steps will be taken to ac complish that result. Joint Intervention Possible. The Impression was given that, ir need be. Intervention would be resorted to. The governments of the United States and Mexico, It was stated, are in full accord se to the policy to be pursued toward Nicaragua, and are now anticipating Sen or Zelaya's further moves. So far as could be learned no official information has been received here of a reported naval engagement between gun boats of Nicaragua and Salvador. As bearing on affairs in Nicaragua, the fol lowing statement was obtained from offi cial circles: "Under telegraphic orders Issued by the Navy Department, an armored cruls. er will remain upon the west coast of Nicaragua pending the arrival of the Yorktown to take that stand indefinitely, and the Dubuque and Tacoma are pro ceeding to cruise the Atlantic side of Nicaragua and In the neighborhood of Honduras. "From Inquiries made In official quar ters It Is Inferred that these orders are related to disquieting official reports upon the present situation in Nicaragua as af fecting neighboring republics. Various rvports g!vt, rise to the aprehenslon of warlike activities on the part of Nic aragua, variously surmised to be directed against Costa Rica and Salvador. "Under the conventions sbmeU at the Central American Peace Conference at Washington In 1SW7. the neutrality of Hon duras is guaranteed and each republic Is pledged not to Interfere with the gov ernment and the solidarity of the others. This conference and these conventions having been brought about by the United States and Mexico, whose geographical proximity and political Interests compel them to be vitally Interested in the peace of Central America, vlmpono upon those two governments a moral rliiht and obligation which makes It Impossible for them to escape grave concern In a sit uation like that reported. "It Is understood that the ' two gov ernments are exchanging views as- to the steps which they would be com pelled to take. If the present disappoint ing and highly unsatisfactory situation should unfortunately develop, and mean while are observing events with great care. "The reported turbulence st Managua accounts for the fact that the govern ment of Nicaragua has thus far failed to make serious-efforts to carry out an -lany hats at many hatters. Gor don hats at all wise hatters. Gordon Hat $3 The Gordon Dc Luxe $4.00 agreement made with the United States more than two years ago for the settle ment of the celebrated Emery case. "It will be recalled that some months ago Mr. Coolidge, Minister to Nicaragua, whose action had been fully approved by the Department of State, insisted upon resigning, owing to the futility of further negotiations. In fact the situation at Managua Is becoming siR-h that the de partment has now ordered Mr. Gregory, the Charge d' Affaires, to return home upon leave of absence, to make a report to the Department upon the situation, the h Katlnn remaining in charge of the Consul, who will have no diplomatic ca pacity. Mr. Ksplnoza, the Minister of Nicaragua at Washington, will thus be tho official diplomatic channel between the two governments for the present. Mr. Gregory, whose conduct under try ing circumstances has met with the ap proval of tbe Department, will, it ta un derstood, be shortly promoted to an other post." Senor de la Rarrs, Mexican Ambassa dor, declared tonight that his country Is entirely In harmony with the sincere de sire of the United States to bring about absolute peace among the Central Amer ican Republics. He said he had received no official ad vices from Mexico City about any trouble between the Central American countries. Nor have the Nicaraguan or Salvadorean Ministers here, as far as could be learned, received any official news from their re spective countries. At tho White House diplomatic recep tion today President Taft retained the Mexican Ambassador In audience longer than any of the others, and this led to tho natural Inference that he discussed the Central American situation. Mexico. It was stated In high official circles, has no desire whatever to annex any of the CtentrsJ American Republics. UXITED STATES TO rXTERYEVE In Full Accord WIUi Mexico on Cen tral American Avar. MEXICO CITY. March 12. "Conditions In Central America are becoming so in tolerable as to be a menace to civiliza tion. It Is a question of but a few weeks at the most when Mexico and the United States will be compelled to intervene in the affairs of at least three of the re publics and make them realize the pledge made at the recent peace conference." This Is the summing up of the Central American situation today by a high Mex ican official. It Is generally reported here that Mex ico and the United States have arrived at full accord In the matter. It Ur un derstood the United States will take the Initiative, Mexico backing up that coun try with moral support alone. Today the government organ. El Im parclal. Issued a bulletin on a reported naval engagement off Corinto between the Nicaraguan gunboat Momotombo and the Salvadorean warship Presidente. According to the dispatch. President Kelaya has determined to wage war on Salvador In spite rf the United States and Mexico, and It is feared Honduras and Guatemala will be drawn Into the conflict as allies. In this connection nn editorial in the Mexican Herald, which Is regarded as having been Inspired by the government. Is causing great interest. This advocates the annexation of Central America by Mexico and Intimates that such a cul mination of the question would not meet with tho disapproval of the United United States. XAVATj BATTLE IS FOUGHT Salvador Puts Nicaraguan Gunboat Out or Action at Start. MF1XICO City. March 12. A private dispatch received here tonight confirms the report that ships of Nicaragua and Salvador fought a battle off Corinto. Three Nicaraguan gunboats, led by the Momotombo, Tuesday attacked the Sal vadorean gunboat Presidente. The lat ter by a lucky shot put the Momotombo out of action almost at the beginning of the engagement. The three Nicaraguans then withdrew. Later the Momotombo was repaired and pursued the Presidente. The gunboat Presidente left the port of Acalutte under sealed orders and pro ceeded to cruise along the Nicaraguan coast. President Zelaya. of Nicaragua, hearing of this, ordered the Momotombo and two other ships to Intercept the Sal vadorean steamer. The Presidente was encountered off Corinto, but succeeded In getting Into action first and disabling the Momotombo. The latter was com pelled to withdraw and limped back to the port of Corinto. The two vessels accompanying her also withdrew. Hasty repairs were made on the Momo"-ombo and within a few hours she was ready to put to sea aval a. As she Is a faster and better equipped ship than the Presidente It is considered certain she will overtake the Salvadorean gunboat. The first engagement took place Tues day and a second Is believed to have been fought yesterday or today. The Momotombo is manned by 'American of ficers and gunners. Assistant Secretary of State Gamboa declared tonight no agreement for Inter vention has yet been reached by Mexico and the United States, but ho admitted the gravity of the situation. It is unofficially reported that a pro tectorate Is being considered. SALVADOREAN XAVY IX FIGHT Reports That Single Gnnboat Has Met Xlcaraguan Vessel. MEXICO CITY. March 12. It Is per sistently rumored here mat war has broken out between Nicaragua and Sal vador, and that there has been an en gagement between the Salvadorean gun boat Presidente and the Nicaraguan gun boat Momotombo The result Is un known. The Mexican Government Is with out official advices as to the truth of these rumors. The Herald today advocates annexation of the five Central American states by Mexico. The general opinion here is that Intervention is Inevitable, and Mexico looks to the United States, to make tho Initial move. SVBWBSW USUI Jlllwwt . You.
