WASHINGTON'. Dr. 17. Plans are afoot,
It- is b"li ved. for a confederation of the
( Vntrj! ArnericHii republics. Proof of
I hi. iff i(Tered io the minds of Central
AmericHn dtiIomn here in the sudden
disappearance, of Dr. Iuis Anderson.
Dr. Anderson was here as special rep
resentative of Cost a Rica and was the
candidate of Mexico for president of the
proposed "1'nlted States of Central Amer
ica." (p u.ft on receipt of the telegram
and It wari learned today that his desti
nation Is Carta ko. Before gifins, he
Jield an interview with Senor Creel, for
iufT Mexican Ambassador to the United
Stales, and now here as a special envoy
of Mexico In the existing trouble in
Nicaragua.
Chaos Dniijrer of Future!.
t Vntral American diplomats fear there
may h a conflagration while now there
Is only a hlz. Jn siftch a cae, the
RovernmentK most interested in the vari
ous i (Hintries would interfere, with the
if suit i hat clioits would ensue and new
organization would be necessary.
It is believed that Anderson hurried
smith in anticipation of such an eventu
ality. He lias the indorsement of Mexico,
the iiiot poweriul near neighbor ofl Cen
tral America, and holds the confidence
of at bast two other slates on the
isthmus.
In t he event that affairs reathed a
crisis UnuinUinj? consolidation, he would
be on the ground and ready to step into
the breach.
Krlends of Dr. Anderson insist that he
has cone to San Jose merely to attend
a meetiiiK of the International Society on
sanit a tlon and to visit his family. This,
others declare. Is a blind. They main
tian that Dr. Anderson's plans were not
changed until It was learned that Zelaya's
abdication was inevi table. Then followed
the rmrrled interview with Senor Creel
and the journey.
Mexico Favors Federation.
The Mexican government is committed
to the amalgamation of the five fiery
little republics on the isthmus. Senor
Knrlque lYwl has declared that his .gov
ernment would like to see such a 'con
solidation, though qualifying the declara
tion by saying he did not believe the
time ripo Jor such a transformation.
Although the Cnited plates has avoided
t lie subjnot. It Is understood that this
Uoveinment would not entertain any
Kieat, enthusiasm over such a consolida
tion. It would mean that Mexico could
exercise a far greater Influence over such
a group and that the Cnited States would
bine prestige. The close alliance of the
l-atln-Anieriean race would bring such a
1t nation about.
The State Department disclaims all
knowledge of the movements of Dr. An
derson or of his object in going to Costa
Rica.
German mail is delayed
Steamer Sailings Infrequent, So Post
Foreign Matter Now.
RKRMJC. Oermany. Dec. 17. (Spe
cial.) The infrequency of steamer sail
ings at tills port, together with the
enormous mall matter handled by pos
tal employes, is threatening serious de
lays in the transmission of malls be
tween the Cnited States and Germany.
Americans wishing; to sen New
Year's greeting or important business
commu nica t iypis to Oermany to be de
livercd somewhere near the first of the
year would do well to post them im
mediately a nd ta ke ca re to send them
at t he .r-cent rat o.
The risk of delay is especially great
in the case of letters with only 2-cent
nostage. which often require more than
a week's extra time in transmission.
It is computed that letter sent now
from ?erma.ny at the lower rate proba
bly will not reach points west of New
York until some thme after Januaryl,
owing- to the infrequent sailing of Ger
man ships, which are the only ones
carrying the 2-cent mail, and. the tre
mendous volume of holiday mail mat

NO LANDS YET PATENTED
Congressman Sees Hand of "Coal
Barons'' in Uelay Law to Pro
mote Development to Be
Sought This Session.
OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash.,
! Dec. 17. Senators and ReDresentatives
from the Pacific Coast states will un
dertake, during the session of Congress,
to frame and pass some practical law
which will permit the entry and eveL-'
opment of government . coal lands in
Alaska. This is utterly impossible un
der existing law, and In consequence
the vast coal deposits of the big terri
tory lie dormant, except where individ
uals, in isolated spots, are digging out
enough coal to supply local needs.
Until the Cunningham entries were
brought into the limelight, little atten
tion had been paid to Alaska's coal
possibilities. It' was known' in a gen
eral way that coal was. there, but It
was never known that the best coal on
the Pacific Coast, and the only Amer
ican coal on the Coast adapted to naval
use, is stored away in the mountains
of Alaska. Nor was it known that in
spite, of the fact that Congress three
times has attempted to provide a means
for permitting the development of this
coal, not a single acre of Alaska coal
land has even been patented, title to all
of it still remaining In the Government.
Xavy Xeeds Coal.
That this coal should be developed
is conceded. The Navy Department is
anxious to obtain it for its warships on
the Pacific, for today the coal used by
the Pacific fleet is either shipped
aroun4 from the Atlantic Coast at
heavy expense, or is imported from for
eign markets. Moreover, big commercial
industries on the Pacific Coast that re
quire coal of high, grade are anxious to
get the coal from Alaska. There is no.
trouble about finding a market; but the
demand has never yet been met.
This condition, in the opinlonvof those
interested, should not be. Therefore,
pressure will be brought to bdar to get
through Congress some sort ofj practical
law that will open the way for the de
velopment of this coal land, so that the
fuel may be put upon the market.
Representative Kahn, of California, one
of the men most interested in this ques
tion, is much In earnest about the de
velopment of the Alaska coal deposits.
There is no legitimate excuse for keep
ing this coal tied up indefinitely, he
says, any more than there is excuse for
forbidding the cutting of timber, or the
utilization of water power. But Mr.
Kahn, unlike some of his colleagues- be
lieves that the binding up of the Alaska
coal fields is not due entirely to the in
fluence of the theoretical conservation
ists but was. at least, in part, brought
about through the sinister, influence or
Eastern capitalists whose pockets will
be affected if this Alaska coal" gets on
the market.1
', Eastern Influence Seen.
Mr. Kahn calls attention to the fact
that coal for the Navy on the Pacific
Coast is now, in the main, purchased on
the Atlantic Coast, shipped around to
the Pacific, and there delivered to the
warships or Navy-yards at a cost far in
excess of what would have to be paid for
equally desirable coal from Alaska. He
believes that the capitalists interested
in selling Pocahontas coal to the Navy
have had a hand in retarding the devel
opment of the Alaska coal fields, for, as
long as Alaska's coal is not obtainable,
there will be a heavy demand for their
own coal, and thUf they propose shall
continue as long as possible.
While Mr. Kahn does not charge that
the theoretical conservationist are tools
in the hands of the Pocahontas coal op
erators the Coal Trust he does main
tain that these conservationists are actu
ally promoting the cause of the coal bar
oils of the East by making competition
impossible. In other words, by sewing
up the Alaska coal In a sack, and pre
venting" its development, the conservae,
tionists have given the Pocahontas .coal
people a monopoly on the Pacific Coast,
so far the Navy is concerned. Just as by
sewing up the Nation's timber, they have
played into the hands of Weyerhaeuser
and other lumber barons.
There are other men on the Pacific
Coast who agree with Representative
Kahn, and in addition to them should
be mentioned Representative Mondell, or
Wyoming, , chairman of the public lands
committee, before whose committee must
pass any legislation looking to the further
development of Alaska's coal resources;.

MRS. BROKAW HIDES FACE
(.Continued From First Page.)
Mr. Gilbert looked at the plaintiff. She
shook her head and smiled. So did Jus
tice Putnam ae she made good her" word.
General surprise was caused when At
torney Baldwin, for Mrs. Bro!?a, after
concluding his examination of J. Bullard
Blair, announced that the plaintiff rested.
.It was assumed that Baldwin was holding
his other witnesses for possible use in
rebuttal.
Brokaw liaises Censorship.
Blair testified that at a hotel, in Paris
he found his sister weeping over the dis
covery that Brokaw had placed a cen
sorship over her mail.
When Blair asked Brokaw the reason
for this. Brokaw declared there had been
a mistak and stepped over to th hotel
clerk desk and directed that Mrs. Bro
kaw be given all her mail. . .
Witnesses for tlp defense were ex
amined by Attorney Bush, Brokaw's per
onal counsel. Henry Knox, an engineer,
who was at the Brokaw place at High
Point, X. C, in the Fall of 1908, said the
Brokaws seemed very happy.
Cl;ildish Spats" Krequent.
After the New Year party, however, he
noticed a Migrht estrangement. What the
witness called "childish spats" became
frequent.
"I can t recall in my 25 years acquaint
anee with Billy Brokaw ever seeing him
touch a drop of liquor," Knox declared,
"until the firsA break occurred, when
Mrs. Brokaw left the lodge."
The witness would not eay that Bro
kaw was drinking even then, but simply
that Ire seemed, "benumbed -by som3
grief."
Knox said the Brokaws disagreed on
everything.
"If BiHy safd a vegetable was a tur
nip, V he testified, "Mary woald declare
she saw a fly."
Asked to describe the manner of the
couple's speech, Knox replied:
"That's hard. Everything was chaos
a, perfect mess. Mrs. Brokaw was
excitable; her conversation was jerky
and flittering.
"Did you ever see a horse poke his
nose.into a barrel of flour, spluttering
it in every direction?"
The answer caused laughter in the
courtroom. -
DIVORCE REVEALS CHILD
CHICAGO TRAVELING MAX DID
XOT KNOW HE WAS PAPA.
diaries X. Clancy, Wedded Six
Years, Is Surprsied to Kind
He Is a Father.
CHICAGO. Dec. 17. Wedded six years
during which time he had no intimation
that the stork had visited his home.
Charles X. Clancy, a traveling auditor, of
this city, was astounded yesterday when
he learned that his wife had filed a di
vorce complaint alleging that Clancy
had deserted her and her 2-year-old
child. i
"Not until I was served with the di
vorce papers did I know that I was a
father," - said Clancy in discussing his
surprise with friends. "What am I to
do? I suppose I should be passing
around the cigars on the arrival of
the youngster into the family, but It
seems a bit late now. Believe me, I
want to find out all about the child.
It may have been born during one of
my trips away from home, but where
did my wife keep it when I was at
home? Mrs. Clancy and I have been
living apart since last April."
Determined to discover whether the
child was born to his wife or whether
It was adopted by her, and also 6b
jecting to the divorce, action, Clancy
yesterday engaged an afttorney and be
gan pl-eparatlons for a legal fight. The
nature of the answer which Clancy will
make to the- charges of cruelty and de
sertion specified by his wife could not
be ascertained. In case Mrs. Clancy
testifies that she adopted the child
mentioned in her bill, it is said that
the legality of the adoption will be at
tacked because she did not secure her
husband's consent to the action. Pre
vious to her marriage Mrs. Clancy was
on the stage. The desire of the wife
to return to the stage is reported to
Jave caused the separation of the cou

Former Cashier of Sugar ISefining
Company's Williamsburg Plant
Is Xot Found Guilty, as
Jury Disagrees.
NEW YORK, -Dec. 17. The Jury today
found guilty five of the six employes of
the American Sugar Refining Company
who have been on trial for the last three
weeks, charged with criminal conspiracy
to defraud the Government of customs
duties on imported sugar.
In the case of James F. Benderriagle.a
former cashier of the company's Will
iamsburg plant, the Jury, out 10 hours,
disagreed.
Mercy is recommended for all those
found gui'.ty.
Others Slay Be Punished. "
Under the indictment Oliver Spitzer, a
dock superintendent; John R. Coyle,
Thomas Kehoe, Edward A. Boyle and
Patrick J. ' Hennessy, checkers, may be
punished for the commission of two overt
acts, the maximum penalty for each of
which is two years' imprisonment and
$5000 fine.
' The failure to convict Cashier Bender
nagle is regarded by the Government as
a distinct disappointment. The effort of
the prosecution has been to trace the
customs frauds already admitted to a
higher source and' Bendernagle, though
not an executive officer of the company,
was an employe who came in contact
with these who shaped the company's af
fairs in their largest aspects.
Conspiracy to Be Proved.
In the final argument Henry I Stlm
son, f-pecisil attorney for the prosecution,
reviewed the evidence by which the Gov
ernment is trying to prove that these men
conspired to defraud the Custom-House by
ur.clerweighing sugar at the Williamsburg
docks.
"Jf the attorneys for the defense," said
Mr. Stlmson, "had been., retained by the
'men higher up,' If any there be. they
could not have made an argument better
adapted to 'serve vthe interests of these
men 'higher up.' "
Judge Martin told the jury tltet it made
no difference who had a part in the plan
ning, if the defendants had a. hand in
executing the alleged frauds.
"Should you have the opinion." he said
"that there are. others in higher stations
of life not reached by this indictment
who have participated In the fraud
charged here, that must have no weight
with you." i
Prisoners Out on Parole.
As other indictments are ' pending
against the convicted nve on which they
are to be tried, it was agreed by the
Government that they be paroled in cus
tody of counsel with leave to renew ball
when argument for a new Trial is heard.
Mr. Stimson moved that the indictment
against the ex-cashier be severed from
that of the other defendants. To this
the court agreed.
Bendernagel put in a strong defense by
the introduction of testimony of prom
inent character witnesses. Tomorrow a
date will be fixed fox the argument on
application for new Trial.
