FIRST CASEJN NEW COURT
Central American Supreme Tribunal
Called Vpon to Decide Among Xa-
tions Rebels Win Every Bat
tle and Scare Ztlaya.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 11. The
Klraraguan iuvernment has presented a
complaint to the Central American Court
of Justice located at t.artlgo, Costa Rica,
based upon the allegation that the Gov
ernments of Gautemala and Salvador have
rendered assistance to the revolutionists
of Honduras and the Nlcaraguan refugees
who are allied with them. This fact,- the
Nlcaraguan Government alleges, menaces
the peace of the Nlcaraguan Republic.
President Zelaya is organising an army
to protect the Nlcaraguan frontier and
Ills action to this end receives the support
of the people of the country.
A request has been sent in from Puerto
Cortes. Honduras, for Mexican warships
to protect Mexican interests.
. The Honduras Government Is said to
have Irrefutable proof of Its allegations
that the Governments of Salvador and
Guatemala have given aid to the revolu
tlonists In Honduras.
There Is reason to believe serious en
gagements will soon occur and that the
fighting will be desperate. The rebels
have captured the towns f Nacoene and
Bione. and Santa . Rosa and Copan are
menaced. The revolutionists have been
almost uniformly victorious.
Nicaragua is frful of the outcome of
the movement In Honduras, for there
is reason to believe the plan of the allies
Is. first, to establish a joint government
in Honduras as soon as Davila Is driven
out. and then to advance upon and over
throw the Zelaya Government in this
republic.

reduction plant yesterday afternoon. At
4 o'clock Bucheneft left his companions
to go up to the dumps. After waiting an
hour for him to return, "the other boys

It is tint theory of the police that the

the fall and then- covered up and smoth
ered - by the wagonloads of garbage that
are being dumped at that hour of the
day. or elsw jumped Into the place to
pick up something he saw. and was
caught by a load of garbage being
dumped at the time.
Later in the afternoon. Captain Kelley
stated that he would continue his in
vestigation until he was satisfied that the
boy had not incurred the wrath of some
of the drivers of the garbage wagons,
who might have struck him on the head
with a shovel and then burled him under
the garbage, with the intention of "burn
ing the body in the lncineratory. .
A. del Monte, an Italian employed at
the crematory, was arrested this after
noon in connection with . the case. A

to have been made with a pitchfork.
