THE 3IORXING OREGON'IAX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1909. ZELAYA SUBMITS TO FORGE, HE SAYS Micaraguan Ruler Tells Inter viewer He Is Willing to Abdicate. WOULD NAME SUCCESSOR Precipitate Retirement Would Re sult In Many Uprisings Revo lutionists Insist on Estrada Taking the Reins. MANAGUA. Dec 10. "The United States unjustly condemns my admin istration." said President Zelaya in an interview with a staff correspondent of the Associated Press today. "I proposed to Secretary or State Knox that he submit the case to the investigation of a committee of his own choosing, agreeing to surrender my rights to the presidency if charges In his letter to Isidore Hezera. ex Nicaraguan Minister to the United States, were sustained. Secretary Knox has not replied. "Defenseless against the hostility of a powerful nation. I must submit, al though I have been condemned un heard." Knox Ruling: Favors Rebels. "The coercion of the United States will rot redound to its credit" as a Nation, whose motives are questioned in all Latin .America. The shooting of Groce and Cannon -was a pretext. Both were amenable to the laws of Nicaragua, which distinctly authorize the shooting of indi viduals commanding rebels," Zelaya con tinued. "It is different if a person is captured in the course of an international war. The attempt of Secretary Knox to estab lish the inviolability of Americans par ticipating in foreign revolutions will re--sult in constant revolutions led by- im mune Americans. "The initiative in the shooting of Groce end Cannon was not mine. I simpljr re fused to extend clemency to them after a properly constituted military tribunal had passed upon the case." French Loan Blocked. President Zelaya then recited several instances of what he declares is hostility against him in the United States, through paid articles appearing In American newe papers. In one of these instances, he cays, he was endeavoring to raise a loan in France, when his enemies persuaded the United States to interpose an objec tion through the French Ambassador at Washington, oa the pretext that the money sought was intended for the pur chase of war materials, when in reality it was to have been used in the construc tion of a railway. "While I am ready toaurrender the Presidency," continued President Zelaya, "'I cannot do it precipitately, as it would result in uprisings by several factions, each of which is eager to obtain power. Xarae or Successor Submitted. "I am in negotiations with the revolu tionists to secure their indorsement to a successor who will be acceptable to all parties, and have submitted the name of Jose Madrlz, judge of the Cartago court. "I hope this will obviate the necessity for American intervention, which would be intensely distasteful to all Central America. I am informed that it is the intention of the United States to prevent my leaving Nicaragua. I do not believe this is true." It is reported that the revolutionists will reject Senor Madriz as Zelaya's suc cessor and insist upon General Estrada assuming the Presidency, declaring that the United States lias promised to furnish IiXK) marines at Bluefields to bring about his success. "The hostility of the United States." continued Zelaya. "is due to the machina tions of Senor Cabrara. of Guatemala. . whom I refused in lflofi tf join in an of : Tensive, and defensive alliance of Central America against Mexico, and thereby thwarted, his efforts to establish a virtual dictatorship in Central America. Since then Cabrara has pursued me with re lentless, effort, turning the public mind BgainJt me. "T am preparing to refute the statement of Secretary Knox relative to the con temptuous treatment of American diplo rnade hero by submitting to him a letter from John Gardiner Coolidge, ex-Mlnister to Nicaragua, expressing appreciation for the cordial treatment given him." DEMAND REBELS SURRENDER Estrada Ammeii by Purpose of Con ference Sought by Vasquez. BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, Dec. 1" General Estrada was dumfounded today when he. learned that the object of the 'conference of Zelayan envoys with Gen eral Fornos Diai. representing the insur gent leader, was to demand the surrender f the insurgents' army. General Vasquez, in command of a di vision of the government troops near Rama, on Wednesday, proposed a confer ence to General Estrada. The latter, be lieving that Vasquez sought opportunity for an advantageous surrender, sent Gen- .'eral Diaz to meet him. The government envoys proved to be Julio Bonilla and Major Eva. Accompanying General Jiaz, for the insurgents, was Major Zelaya, a n'Tihew of the President. When Dias heard the'demand for the surrender of the insurgents, he imme- .diately declared that Vasquez was the one who should surrender, declaring that the insurgent position at Rama was im preimable and that the United States was supporting General Estrada. The confer ence continues today. The arrival of the United States cruiser Des Moines has created the greatest en thusiasm and drawn the whole town to the water front. The cruiser's band Plaved the "Star-Spangled Banner." Com mander John H. Shipley, of the Des Moines. conferred with Thomas P. Moffatt. the United States Consul at Blue fields. MADRIZ TO SUCCEED ZELAYA? Selection Would Be Far From Pleas ing to United States. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Evidence is multiplying that Zelaya intends to retire as President of Nicaragua. Reports to that effect are general throughout that country and the American Consular offi cers seem to give credence to them. - The latest news from Nicaragua reach ing the State Department today said Jose Madriz was being talked of as Zelaya's successor. It is assumed this suggestion comes from Zelaya's friends and there fpre his selection . would be far from satisfactory to this Government. Madriz was chairman of the Nicaraguan delegation to the Central American Peace Conference, held here in IfloT. and he was eiso elected Secretary of the Conference. At present he Is the representative of the Nicaraguan government in the Cen ' tral American Court of Justice at Cart- ago. which is charged with the settle ment of questions arising among the sev eral Central American countries. The cruiser Albany and the gunboat Torktown. which received hurried orders last week while at Magdalena Bay to pro ceed immediately to Oorlnto, Nicaragua, are now half way to that place. DES MOINES AT BLOiFIELDS American Cruiser Awaits Result of Baltic In Nicaragua. WASHINGTON', Dec. 10. The United States cruiser Des Moines Is at Blue fields, Nicaragua, waiting the possible issue of an important engagement be tween the Nlcaraguan government and revolutionary forces. The Des Moines was sent to Port Limon two weeks ago to keep in close touch with the Nacaraguan revolution, and her arrival at Bluefields yesterday is the re sult of secret orders to proceed to that place and await results from the impend ing battle. Commander Shipley, of the Des Moines, reported that all was quiet at Bluefields. ZELAYA'S LIFE IS SOUGHT Senator Rayner Would Punish Pan American for Murder. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. A resolu tion authorizing the President to take the necessary steps for the apprehen sion of President Zelaya of Nicaragua and for his punishment on the charge of murder, if the facts in the posses sion of the State Department warrant such action, was Introduced today by Senator Rayner. The resolution recites the circum stances connected with the execution of the two Americana, Groce and Cannon. BROTHERS WIN ESTATE DEFEAT SISTER'S SCHEME TO GET FATHER'S PROPERTY. Will Alleged to Have Been Made Under Persuasion Is Set Aside in Favor of S. H. Childs' Son. ALBAN'V, Or., Dec. 10. (Special.) As serting that Mrs. Elsie L. Hamilton, of Kaukauna. Wis., came to Oregon for the sole purpose of getting control of the property of her father, Seth H. Childs. and that she poisoned his mind when he made his will bequeathing her all his property, the other heirs have succeeded in getting the will set aside. Judge Dun can today set aside the will and ap pointed George S. Childs. of Sodavillo. Linn County, administrator. The property which was bequeathed to Mrs. Hamilton will therefore be divided equally among Childs' three children, and Mrs. Hamilton, instead of getting it all, will share with her brothers, E. A. Childs, of Imperial, Cal., and George. S. Childs, of Sodaville. Seth H. Childs made the will which was the basis of this dispute at Lebanon, De cember 7, 19C6. At that time he was over 86 years old and, it was asserted by wit nesses at the hearing of the contest, was feeble both in mind and body and inca pable of taking care of himself or man aging his affairs. Prior to this time he had lived for many years at Sodaville, with his son, George S. Childs, but shortly before he made his will Mrs. Hamilton came from her Wis consin home to Sodaville on a visit. It is asserted by George's.- Childs that she poisoned his mind against his two sons, persuading him that his boys had mis treated . him and robbed him and were unworthy of his confidence. It is asserted that before she took him back to Wisconsin with her she persuaded him to convert all his real estate into cash and to make a will leaving every thing to her. Childs died at the Wis consin home of his daughter, May 28, 190S. . The value of the estate involved Is not large. It is believed that Childs sold his real property for $3500 when he left for Wisconsin, but how much of this amount was left when he died is unknown to the administrator. He thinks the amount on hand which the estate can secure is about $2150. NO EVIDENCE IS PUT IN HAMILTON DEFENSE WILL RELY ON TECHNICALITIES. 1 t Verdict of Guilt j of Larceny by Em- bezilement Expected, When Case Will Go to Hlgli Court. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. in (Special. The case of Ortis Hamilton will go to the Supreme Court on technicalities If Mon day the trial jury does as is confidently expected and finds him guilty of laroeny by embezzlement of J11S5, upon which he is being tried. Today, when Judge Mitchell refused a directed verdict of acquittal, the defense, after consultation, announced it would put in no evidence. Judge Mitchell was forced to leave- for Mason County, where a jury will be drawn tomorrow, and the hearing of final arguments went over un til Monday. Last night it was thought Judge Mitch ell would grant the directed verdict today, but private examination1 by the court of the other informations showed such a rul ing would, possibly wipe out the Jater prosecutions for forgery and for obtain ing money under false pretenses, The trial court, by taking this position, puts it up to the Supreme Court to say whether or not an officer who has con fessed taking to his own use thousands of dollars of state money shall go free because of technicalities. Court was adjourned this afternoon un til Monday, when the instructions to the jury will be given and arguments con cluded. The state announced tonight that the other charges against Hamilton will be pressed regardless of the outcome of the present case. UNCLE SAM'S SCALES OFF Accused Sugar Grafters Say Tbey Could NotVeigh Correctly. NEW TORK. Dec. 1 Supposed inac curacy in the Government scales on the Brooklyn dock is the main feature of the defense of the six employes of the Ameri can Sugar Refining Company on trial here for alleged conspiracy. Henrv F. Cochrane, in 'opening his address for the defense today, declared that the 17 scales in question, on which the alleged underweighing was done, were of an obsolete stj-le, grossly inac curate of themselves, and that many of the Government weighers were incom petent. "These defective scales. owned and operated by the Government,'" continued Mr. Cochrane, "weighed more than 900,ono tons of sugar every year, and no man in human reason could hope to supervise them." fc The line of defense indicated by the statement was that it would be claimed that the shortages iu weights were due to the scales and the Government em ployes, and not to a manipulation by the sugar company's employes. SENATE GETS BUSY Bills by Hundred Introduced in Upper House. RAYNER IS AFTER ZELAYA Maryland Senator Asfcs President to Apprehend Pan-American Presi dent as Murderer of Two American Citizens. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. As a promise of activity In the interest of legislation. Senators today introduced more than 350 bills and resolutions covering a great variety of subjects. Many failed of pass age In the last Congress, and 90 per cent will receive scant consideration this ses sion. Many are. for pensions not granted linder the general law. Standing out as a striking proposition was a resolution by Senator Rayner today authorizing the President of the United States to cause President Zelaya to be apprehended as a common criminal, charged with the murder of two Ameri cans engaged in revolutionary activity in Nicaragua, contrary to the code of war of all civilized nations. The House was in session an hour and a half and a large number of measures were introduced. The most striking fea ture of the proceedings was a speech by Representative Kuesterman, of Wisconsin, denying that his Interest in German ship ping was so great as to cause him to antagonize a bill for the relief of the American merchant marine. As no reports have been made by com mittees, both houses are without subjects upon which to legislate. The Senate, therefore, adjourned until Monday and the House until Tuesday. CUMMINS OFFERS RATE BILL Enlarged Powers for Commerce Commission Are Proposed. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Senator Cum mins, of Iowa, opened the railroad rate controversy in Congress todsfy by intro ducing a new Interstate Commerce 'bill. The bill requires the commission to pro mulgate uniform classification schedules, and authorizes it to consider rates on its own motion, with a view of considering whether they are reasonable. Courts are debarred from inquiring, in suits brought, whether rates are reasonable. The ac quisition of the capital stock of compet ing railroads is prohibited. By the terms ,of the bill a carrier is prohibited from issuing any capital stock without payment at par, either in money or in property and, in effect, the Com mission shall have supervision of the is sues of stocks and bonds by any carrier. Specific directions are given for the dis position of the proceeds of any sale of bonds. After January 1, 1911, no carrier doing interstate business shall be per mitted to engage in any other business than that of a common carrier. Senator Elkins, it is expected, will in troduce another bill to amend the Inter state Commerce act. SENATORS' TOES STEPPED ON They Object to Curtis and Cabell for Criticising Them. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Two incum bents of important positions in the Treas ury Department were objected to in the Senate committee on finances today, when their names came up for' approval. They are James F. Curtis, of Massa chusetts, who succeeded Mr. Reynolds as Assistant Secretary, and Royal E. Cabell, of Virginia, who succeeded Captain John G. Capers as Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Both names were submitted to a sub-committee for investigation. According to the sub-committee's re port, air. Cabell has expressed himself forcibly against members of Congress who attempt to exert influence in the matter of making appointments to positions under the Internal Revenue Bureau. Tho op position to Mr. Curtis was based upon the fact that he had been appointed without the Massachusetts Senators hav ing been consulted. POWER SITE MONOPOLY SCORED Representative Mann, in Bill, At tacks So-called Combine. WASHINGTON. Dec- 10. The so-called power site monopoly was the object of attack in a bill offered in the House today by Representative Mann, chairman of the committee on interstate and foreign com merce. It provides that, before dams across navigable or non-navigable streams can be constructed, permission and ap proval must be obtained of the Secretary of Wrar and the Chief of Engineers and makes it unlawful to deviate from such approved plans. Applicants must guarantee free power to the United States Gove-nment. The Government is also given authority to regulate absolutely charges that may be made to the public for the use of the power derived from 6uch sources.

First Street First 'Location. Lipman. Wolfe & Co. first started in business on the corner of First and Washington streets, where they re mained for a number of years in what was then the center of the business section of the city. When the move was made to Third and Washington it was at first thought that a radical change had been made and that the trade would, never -go that far west in Portland. The move from thepresent quarters, which have become inadequate, has been under contemplation for some time. A. number of projects were con sidered, and the Fifth-street location finally decided on. The firm has de cided to remain In the present cramped quarters until the permanent change 'to the more desirable location can be made. The great structure will be built in the heart of a district which promises to be the most active In building op erations in Portland for the next few years. On the east side of Fifth street, directly opposite, John B. Yeon pro poses to erect a 15-story office build ing. This structure will be the largest and finest structure north of San Francisco. It is learned that two other 12-story buildings may soon be erected In this same neighborhood. W. L. Morgan and W. A. T. Bushong will start at once to build on the quarter block at the corner of Fourth and Alder, while on Seventh and Alder the large Electric building is just being finished, and there are rumors of a large building to be erect ed on the southeast corner of Seventh and Alder, where negotiations have been pend ing for soma time for the purchase of the property.

This lot is located In the upper end of Washington street In the heart of the district which is now becoming valuable for semi-business purposes as well as for apartment-houses. Mr. Kaseburg bought the corner as an investment, and expects to Improve it later. REALTY MEN WILL NOT DINE Instead, General Good Fellowship Jleeting Will Be Held. Instead of holding a dinner the first Friday in January, it was decided yes terday at the monthly meeting of the Realty Board to have a general good fel lowship meeting.
