UNCLE SAM CALLS
T
Presidents Taft and Diaz Ex
change Telegrams Regard
ing Complaint.
U. S. PUT IN FALSE LIGHT
Central American Republic Head
Finds War Talk Not to Liking of
Taft Administration Interna
tional Law Is Defined.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Madriz has
drawn from this Government a sharp re
ply to the protests he made to the Presi
dent, alleging that the United States has
prolonged the war In Nicaragua because
It refuses to allow the bombardment of
Blueflelds or to allow the Venus to main
tain a blockade there.
Consul Olivares, of Managua, has been
furnished with a statement to hand to
Madriz. It tersely observes that if any
Violation of neutrality has occurred. It
was when the Venus sailed from New
Orleans as an expedition of the Madriz
faction.
Madriz' Protest General.
Madriz protested not to the United
States alone, but to all the South Ameri
can and Central American republics. The
statements in his telegram are construed
by the State Department as an effort to
place in a false light the policy ' of the
United States in regard to Nicaragua.
Some governments that received his pro
test have asked for information from
Washington upon which to base their re
plies and there has been an exchange of
telegrams between President D'az and
President Taft.
Information Sent to Mexico.
President IMaz. it is explained, merely
asked for information, and President
Taft, replying In a cordial manner, sent
to the government at Mexico City the
same statement which Consul Olivares
has been directed to hand to Madriz.
Secretary Knox decided that the Madriz
protest required the special notice of this
Government because the allegations made
evidently were founded on errors as to the
actual facts and applicable to the prin
ciple of war.
The reason for the note. In an official
Etatement, was:
Knox Gives His Reasons.
"Because the. United States would hesi
tate to allow to pass unchallenged a
statement from any source that might
tend. In however slight a degree, to place
its policy In a false light."
The statement that Consul Olivares
had been instructed to hand to Presi
dent Madriz and which, in accordance
with Secretary Knox's policy of keep
ing both factions informed of this
Government's attitude, has also been
sent to the Estrada faction, follows:
Policy Remains Same.
"The policy of the United States re
mains as set forth In the Secretary of
State's letter of December 1, 1909, to
Mrj Rodriguez, then charge d'affaires,
whereby relations with the Zelaya
government were broken off.
"That letter and statement of the
consistent applications of the same
policy to conditions as they arose -were
duly published.
"As to the statements made In the
telegrams of President Madriz, the
Government of the United States took
steps prohibiting fighting or bombard
ment by either faction and fortified
the ungarrisoned commercial City of
Blueflelds, thus protecting the prepon
derating American and foreign Inter
ests Just as the British commander had
done at Greytown, where there are
large British Interests. .
Blockade Right Recognized.
"The Government of the United
States has acknowledged the right of
each faction to maintain blockades,
but refused to permit vessels illegally
and clandestinely fitted out in Ameri
can waters to interfere -with American
commerce.
"The Government of the United
States simply Insists that each faction
shall collect duties in territories under
its de facto control and refused to per
mit the collection of double duties.
"If any violation of any neutrality
has occurred it was in connection with
the Bailing of the Venus from New Or
leans as an expedition of the Madriz
faction."

TODD'S DINGHEY WINS
TWO-MILE RACE VICTOR IS
DICKEY, HARD PRESSED.
Though Only Four draft Enter
Fight for Honors "Up River '
Proves Interesting.
In a race that was nip-and-tuck over
the entire course of nearly two miles,
H. F. Todd's Duckey won the dlnghey
race of the Oregon Dlnghey Club, which
was held over the new course Snn
day. James Hazlett's Celt, run down
last Sunday by the launch Olympic and
had its boom broken, was second.
Four craft were entered and" all got
away together. The Celt sneaked a
lead on the other boats on the down
ward tack, but In rounding the buoy,
Francis D'Arcy's Bull Pup took the
lead, closely followed by the "celt and
H. F. Todd's Duckey and Nelson
Dodge's Kitten. The race Up the river
was close, but Commodore Todd's boat
proved the fastest on the up-tacks, and
came home a winner. Francis D'Arcy's
Bull Pup was second until within a
few yards of the stakeboat, when It lost
Its rudder, and Hazlett's Celt breezed
in ahead and took second.
Nelson Dodge's Kitten, which won
the second race of the series, is a
craft with a rig different from other
dinghies in Portland, and Is in the
nature of an experiment. In the heavy
wind it was not very successful, but
will be given another trial.
Commodore Todd has put up a pen
nant as trophy for the Dlnghey Club
races. This pennant must be won
twice in succession to become the
property of the winner for the season.
As Captain Todd's craft won the race
yesterday, the race counted as one in
favor of Hazlett's Celt, for h!s boat
was second. Only four of these little
craft are In active service on the
river, but nearly a dozen are being
built and will be in the races in the
near future. The new course lies from
the foot of Ellsworth street to the new
Madison bridge and return.
INDUSTRY IS BELOW PAR
Workmen Strike Because One of
Number Does Too Much.
. SPRINGFIELD, Or., June 20. (Special.)
City officials In charge of street pav
ing work are of the opinion that there is
only one man employed by Springfield
really able and "willing to do a full day's
work. He is John Bryan, a teamster, who
can haul 14 loads of crushed rock while
the others carry nine loads from the
crusher to the streets. His fellow-workmen
Informed Councilman Rlvett, who
is superintending the work, that unless
John Bryan was discharged they would
strike.
Rivett told them to strike, but most of
them returned to work yesterday. The
Council, however, has posted the fol
lowing notice:
"Wanted Teams for work on the city
grading and graveling, at 50 cents an
hour. If teams cannot be had for such
prices, the city will buy its own teams
and do the work Independent of the resi
dents of the towrt.. John Bryan gets no
more wages than any other man on the
job."
Rlvett declares that the walking dele
gate of the strikers is a socialist.
CYCLIST STRUCK BY AUTO
Chauffeur Tries to Avoid Collision
With Car, and Man Is Hurt.
While trying to avoid a collision with
a streetcar at East Second and Morri
son streets, at 7:30 oclock Sunday night,
a chauffeur, who was apparently a
novice, swerved to the left side of the
street and his auto crashed into a
motorcycle, hurling the rider, W. Bush,
to the street and wrecking his motor
cycle. Bush was pinned underneath
the automobile and after several un
successful attempts, the driver of the
car finally succeeded in backing the
machine up sufficiently to release Bush.
The automobile belonged to Atiyeh
Bros., but the name of the driver was
not learned.'
Bush was slightly bruised about the
body and received a bad cut on his
right leg. but suffered no serious in
juries. Witnesses say that the driver
of the automobile was to blame for the
collision.
Bush is a motorcycle repairer em
ployed by Ballou & Wright, and lives
at 181 McMillen street. Sergeant Kel
ler was present at the time of the ac
cident, but the driver of the machine
was not placed under arrest.
MAGISTRATE IS SKEPTIC
Man Sleeps in Chicken-House Once
Too Often for Belief.
WALLASEY, England, June 19. (Spe
cial.) Because the Wallasey magistrates
had no salt to aid their digestive powers,
the story James Didsbury told of fall
ing asleep in a hencote failed to im
press them.
Didsbury was arrested by a policeman
who found him apparently asleep in
Magistrate Ball's hencote. The officer
handcuffed and awaked the man, who
professed to be much astonished. At
the station he appeared to be still more
astonished when a dead chicken was
found inside his shirt.
From police reports it appeared that
Didebury had once before fallen asleep
in a hencote. On that occasion also
there was a dead fowl with him and he
was caught, but a sympathetic magis
trate accepted his explanation. Didsbury
admitted being in the fowl house but
said he was drunk.
"On both occasions?" queried the pre
siding magistrate.
"Yes, sir," was the humble reply.
"Ah, that was once too often. Three
months hard labor," was the retort from
50,000 SOCIALISTS
LISTEN TO SEIDEL
Make Chicago Socialist City
Like Milwaukee, Is Bur
den of, Their Cry.
FALL CAMPAIGN IS OPENED
Primarily to Raise Money to Help
Party Press, Tenor of Gathering
Soon Turns to Denunciation
of Existing Order of Things. .
CHICAGO, June 20. The greatest
crowd that ever attended a Socialist
meeting In Chicago yesterday greeted
Emll Seldel, the Socialist 'Mayor of
Milwaukee. It is estimated there -were
60,000 persons, men, women and chil
dren, at the gathering, which wai held
in a North Side amusement park.
The meeting originally had been called
for the purpose of raising money for' the
support of the Socialist press in Chicago,
but It resolved Itself into an official
opening of the Socialist campaign for
the Fall elections. Several thousand dol
lars were raised for the eight Socialist
newspapers published here in as many
different languages.
Of all the speeches. Mayor Seidel's
was the mildest. The Chicago leaders
were bitter In their attacks upon promi
nent politicians of the old parties. They
arraigned Senator Lorimer; Lee O'Neil
Browne, the legislative minority leader
now on trial charged with bribery in
connection with the election of Senator
Lorimer; Mayor Busse and State's At
torney Wayman.
The recent scandals in high official
life were pointed to as evidence that
the time was at hand for sweeping both
the old parties out of existence at the
Fall elections.
- The slogan of all the speeches was:
"Make Chicago a socialist city like Mil
waukee." Mayor Seldel pointed the way for the
Chicago Socialists in his speech, "How
Worklngmen Govern a City." He termed
the commission form of government, "a
plutocratic plan for keeping plutocrats in
power."
In giving the Chicago Socialists some
practical advice in carrying on their cam
paign so as to win next Fall, Mr. Seldel
said:
"It is necessary that the workers be
instructed in Socialism. Socialism is a
phase of civilization, a growth, anyway.
Talk to the people In their own language,
not in isms and ologles. Show the people
that the reason there are boulevards in
front of the homes of the rich is be
cause the rich furnish graft for the
politicians and the politicians furnish
the boulevards in return.
THIEF CHASED BY 100 MEN
Fugitive Hurls Fists Full of Xickels
. at Pursuers.
After an exciting chase in which over
a hundred people joined, Ernest Seld
ler, who was recently paroled from the
State Penitentiary, was arrested Sunday
night by Patrolman Thatcher, charged
with robbing telephone boxes.
Seldler was seen by three men while
he was trying to unlock a telephone box
in a rooming-house over the Midway
saloon, at First and Madison streets.
On being observed, Seldler dashed down
the stairs and Into the street with the
men In hot pursuit. The cry of "Stop,
thief!" was raised, and soon the three
men were joined by a number of pedes
trians. Patrolman Thatcher joined in
the chase and pursued the fugitive to
the foot of Taylor street, where he
was discovered hiding under the dock.
During his flight, Seldler hurled sev
eral handfuls of nickels into the street,
but these were gobbled up by the pur
suers and when Patrolman Thatcher,
accompanied by Patrolman Epps, made
a search for the money they found
only a single nickel.
Patrolmen Thatcher and Epps made
a search of the place where the fugu
tive had been hiding under the dock,
and discovered a key which would un
lock any of the telephone boxes.
TWO BODIES FLOAT AWAY
Current Carries Old Indian Woman
by Those Waiting to Grapple.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 20. (Spe
cial.) The body of Leota Penny, the
aged Indian woman, who disappeared
suddenly from an Indian encampment

Colonel Roosevelt were entertained at
picnic on Pickleberry Island, on Long

TAFT HEARS FROM T. R.
LETTER POSTED BY EX-PRESI-DEXT
IS LONDON ARRIVES.'
Contents Not Divulged by President,
but It Is Said Politics Were
Not Mentioned.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Prerident
Taft has received a letter from Theo
dore Roosevelt. It has an English post
age stamp on it, and very likely came on
the same steamer with the ex-President.
Men who saw President Taft at the
White House yesterday came away and,
in strict confidence," told the secret to
others, who, of course, had to have dis
creet assistance in keeping it- So it be
came known all over town. At the White
House all that could be learned was that
such a letter had been received. '
Those who think they know what was
in It say that It "was merely a friendly
reply to a friendly letter." The letter
was sent by Mr, Taft so that it reached
Mr. Roosevelt Just before he sailed from
England.
Both letters are said to have been
comparatively long and almost wholly of
a personal character, largely, if not en
tirely, avoiding political and official sub
jects. In just such letters as- would nat
urally pass between two old friends as
the two men have been to each other for
years.
Those who really knew what was in the
letters would not divulge their contents.

A Word to Parents on the Dan'
gets of Bloodlessness That
Threaten Daughters in
Their "Teens."
Perhaps yon have already noticed that
your daughter in her "teens" has de
veloped a fitful temper, is restless and
excitable. In that case remember that
she is growing into womanhood, and that
a great responsibility rests upon you, as
parents.
If your daughter is pale, complains of
weakness and depression, feels "tired
out" after a' little exertion, if she tells of
headaches and backaches, do not disre
gard these symptoms. Your daughter
needs help, for she ia anaemic that is
bloodless.
You should lose no time in procuring
Dr. AVilliams Pink Pilla; otherwise her
unhealthy girlhood is bound to lead to
unhealthy womanhood.
Miss Thekla HoUand, of No. 1162 At
lantic avenue, Long Beach, Cal., says:
"A few years ago I became very
anaemic, although I had always been
weak and sickly. We moved to Califor
nia during my sickness and I was so thin
and pale that people thought I had con
sumption. I was run down, weak and
unable to stand any exertion. I was
short of breath, had no ambition and
was always tired. I was nervous and my
Bleep was broken. I had to be careful
what I ate and my stomach was out of
order. My heart also troubled me a
great deal. I was able to go to school
only about three months out of the nine
and one year was out of school entirely.
I was often confined to bed for two or
three weeks.
"A friend recommended the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and after a fair
trial I began to get better. I kept on us
ing the pills until I was completely cured.
I now feel strong and well and am able
to stand any exertion. I recommend
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they
cured me after, three years of sickness
and after my doctor had said be could
not help me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers, chlorosis or green sickness and
i-eneral debility because of their power to
tuild up and purify the blood. Our
new booklet, "Diseases of the Blood,"
will give you much valuable information
about the above diseases and will be sent
