KNOX SENDS BRUSQUE NOTE
Central Americana Declare Secretary
Is Piqued at Being Outwitted and
Is Getting Even With Mexico.
Ijoss of Prestige Is Feared.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 87. (Spe
cial.) Diplomatic relations between
the United States and Mexico are- now
somewhat strained. No serious trouble
beyond a loss of prestige and trade la
looked for, however.
Smarting under the chagrin of being
outplayed at the diplomatic same "by
President Dlas and Senor Creel, Secre
tary of State Knox has sent to the
Mexican government a note which
amazes the foreign contingent In
Washington as another example of cur
rent "shotgun diplomacy."
Imprisoned American Pretext.
The imprisonment of James A. Cook,
an American citizen, at Guadalajara, Is
the pretext for Secretary Knox's
brusqueness toward Mexico, but the
cause is said to be found in Mr. Knox's
anger at Mexico when that government
outwitted and out-maneuvered him in
Nicaraguan affairs.
Meanwhile all Latin-America, as rep
resented here, is boiling with indigna
tion at the United States and such
statements' as the following, made by a
serious and responsible student of
South and Central American .affairs,
are common:
"The United States has lost more
prestige during these last 15 days than
it had gained in the previous 15
years."
It Is further declared to be the in
tention of President Diaz to receive the
lata President Zelaya as the guest of
Mexico City and shower honors and
courtesies on him as a mark of Mexi
can oontempt for the State Depart
ment at 'Washington.
Worse still, there Is trustworthy In
formation to the effect that nearly all
the South and Central American gov
ernments have lost faith In the United
States, both as to fairness and justice
of procedure, and as to ,the firmness
with which It was expected to pursue
Its policies.
Diplomacy "Biff Plat Bluff."
They have come to the conclusion
that the present diplomacy of the Unit
ed States Is a "big. flat bluff," and say
that while Uncle Sam may bluster and
browbeat, he Is not to be feared, be
cause he Is sure to back down in the
end. They Instance the humiliating
retreat of Secretary Knox in the af
fair of the Alsop claim against Chile,
wherein he issued an Insulting ulti
matum, was "called" by the Chileans
and then had to appeal secretly to the
Brazilian Secretary of Foreign Affairs
to help him save his face.
They cite also Secretary Knox's some
what ridiculous blustering attitude
about arresting and punishing Zelaya,
which in the end he was meekly forced
to abandon and permit Diaz to carry
the tyrant off in trlnmph.
Bluffs to Be Called.
"In future." say the Latin-American
diplomats, "we shall call Mr. Knox's
bluffs as often as he makes them. The
United States has lost Its Influence
with us and Mexico has come to the
front."
"The Department deplores the sensa
tional stories based on this act," said
an official of the Department today.
"The United States has taken steps
to safeguard the rights of an American
because the friends of that citizen be
lieve these rights are not being recog
nized. "Personally I know nothing aboutthe
case, but I do know that the man in
the case has not been Imprisoned much
longer, if as long, as many suspected
persons under the same charge have
been Incarcerated In this country await
ing trial. It is entirely natural that
friends of Cook should be anxious about
him and should likewise exert every
effort to have hira brought to a speedy
trial.
Such Cases Always Appeal.
"The Idea of an American pictured
as helpless and subjected to persecu
tion, languishing in a foreign Jail, al
ways will appeal to the tender-hearted.
It Is altogether likely; however, that
the Mexican law is taking its course.
At present tne exchanges between
the United Slates and Mexico are pure
ly friendly and informal. They are
being conducted through the regular
diplomatic channels and on the part
of the department with a complete rec
ognition of the peculiar laws govern
ing the operation of railways in Mex
ico. Not the slightest friction, officials
of the department insist, has arisen as
a result of the interchange, and a sat
isfactory solution of the problem Is a
matter of a few hours, or days.
The delay in the matter of giving
Cook a hearing is well known here.

Note Iert Saying Ghostly JVbice
CalledWoman With Htm Swears
Fair One Deserted.
Mrs. P. L. Young, an acknowledged be
liever In the occult, received an earthly
message from her husband Christmas
eve,, saying that he had fled to Salt Lake
in response to continual calling of a
spirit within him. The spirit her hus
band obeyed, says Mrs. Young, is a
woman of her acquaintance with whom
she believes Young la smitten. A warrant
has been Issued for the arrest of the
fugitive, husband.
Young Is a member of the firm of
Young Bros., newspaper circulation boost
ers, with offices la the Qerllnger build
ing. Friday night he did not return
home, and Christmas morning found Mrs
Young still waiting in the Whellden
apartments for her husband. Penniless,
and fearing something had happened to
him, she hurried to his offices and found
a letter addressed to her. The message
was from her husband, and contained a
pathetic appeal for clemency, saying he
had resisted the call of the spirit too
long. . .
"I want you to pray for me," the letter
ran. "I will work out my own salvation.
You will never understand, perhaps, but
there is something in me calling. I am
going to Salt Lake City, and If there is
any final message you wish to give me
I will get It there." .
Constable Wagner Is making every ef
fort to arrest Young and his companion,
although no warrant has been Issued for
the woman's arrest. Positive evidence
that Young left here with another wom
an Is said to have been obtained yes
terday. COWPUNCHER LASSOS LYNX

MYSTERY IN STREET RESULTS
Exchange Orders Inquiry Into
Suspected Scheme.
FLURRY WEAKENS PRICES
Officers and Owners of Road Say
They Did Not Do It Matched
Order Device Fails Because
Somebody Made Blunder.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27. The New York
Stock Exchange has an Investigation on
Its hands. Common stock of the Rock
Island Company rose 3114 points almost
immediately after the opening today and
then,, even more suddenly, dropped to
61. Thereby hangs a mystery or a
fiasco, or something that the governors
of the Stock Exchange will try to sift to
the bottom.
At the close of today's session the gov
ernors quickly held a conference and ' it
was -announced a special Investigation
had been instituted. Francis J. Karnes,
J. L. Atterbury and Ernest Groesbek were
appointed to conduct the inqury. Con
servative members .are much exercised
over the. episode and summary punish
msnt of the offenders Is demanded.
Officials Deny They're Involved.
Officers of the Rock Island disclaim
any responsibility for the movement. At
the offices of 1) anted G. BeW, who, with
W. H. Moore, is the acknowledged leader
of the Rock Island coup. It was said that
Mr. Reld was indisposed today. Another
representative said that he was entertain
ing a house party at his country home
near here. Judge Moore arrived from
Chicago In the afternoon and affirmed
what had been said earlier in the- day,
the personally he knew nothing of the
excitement until told about It on his ar
rival in New York.
So much mystery and confusion sur
rounds the movement that anything like a
clear explanation seems Impossible at this
time. In the brief session of the gov
ernors this afternoon, several members
who figured In the buying and selling
were called, but no details were made
public. Those brokers credited with ex
ecuting the orders declined to throw any
lighfc on the subject. They will be called
to testify later.
Manipulators Fail in Scheme.
Stories purporting to explain the
situation are numerous. One theory
was that an attempt at manipulating
the stock had miscarried. According to
this story, heavy buying orders were
placed, but, through some oversight,
the corresponding selling order did not
appear. The result was, following out
this theory, that there was compara
tively little stock for sale, and brokers
who had charge of the buying orders
had to bid the market up to execute
them. If such were the case, the orders
were destined to be "match orders,"
the principal subject of the recent In
vestigation of the Stock Exchange insti
tuted by Governor Hughes.

Schooner Minnie A. Caine Towed
Into Hoqalam Much Worse for
Wear C'rew Famished.
HOQTJIAM, Wash.. Dec. 27. SpeclaL
With but a few pounds of flour and beans
remaining in ,the hold, with her crew on
short rations and Captain Olsen on what
Is thought to be his deathbed, the
schooner Minnie A. Caine, OT days out
from Hypong, China, was towed Into this
port today.
The Caine was en route to Bellingham
but was picked up off Grays Harbor,
where the crew asked to be brought Into
port.
The Caine left Hypong September 20 and
encountered a typhoon when well off the
Chinese coast.
The terrible tossing about continued for
24 hours and a large quantity of provi
sions was damaged. The crew was then
put on short rations and the trip was
one of privation and hardship from that
time.
Captain Olsen is suffering from heart
trouble and it was not thought advisable
to move him to a hospital tonight.
Tom Endresen, son of a well-known
spar-maker of this city, was a cabin
boy on the vessel and says the trip was
one of the worst in his several years' ex
perience at sea. , The Caine's sails and
rigging were badly damaged in t the
typhoon, which made the trip more diffi
cult. AUNT' LOVES, NIECE WEDS

Upon her return from the hospital Mrs.

Battle Spectacular Begins Between
Market Manipulator and Bull
Opponents.
CHICAGO, Dec 27. (Special.) Corn
soared again today In the battle between
James A. Patten and his bull opponents.
In this particular war, the dealer who
has sent wheat and cotton skyward Is
trying to pull down the price of corn.
Bulls predict 90-cent corn.
"Patten is making $50 In cotton for
every dollar ho Is losing in corn." said
an operator today, "so we may see &
pretty fight If he continues to carry out
his present programme." -
December corn opened at 63 cents to
day over the close of 62 cents Friday.
There was a climb to 64 cents and then
a drop to 63 cents.
May corn opened at 67 cents, an ad
vance of cent over Friday's closing, and
moved to 67 cents. The price then
dropped to 67 cents.
Patten, who is said to be nearly 5,000,000
bushels In May corn, continued to. sell on
his assertion that the present price was
over the real value and that the drop
would follow the opening of corn traffic.
Patten Is selling May corn and going
further short on the declaration that the
present condition is due to railroad and
weather conditions.
