New Orleans, Dec. 11. Zelaya's ar
my, strengthened by several hundred
interior recruits, is marching upon
Bluefields today, nccordlng to Blue
fields dlspatcehs. Estrada has thrown
out outposts to met the attacking
rmy, but It is rumored that the rev
olutionary force is Inferior in num
bers to the army Zelaya has mobiliz
ed. Estrada sympathizers are appar
ently obsessed by fear that the city
Is doomed to fall in the possession of
the Zelayans. All that will save the
city, they claim, is the landing of ma
rines from American warships.
Zelaya Outwits Estrada.
For more than two weeks Zelaya's
army has been lying in the vicinity of
Rama. Estrada's forces, expecting an
attack, had erected fortifications and
dug trenches about the town which
re Interspersed with tangles of
barbed wire. Several minor engage
ments about Kama, In which tb revo
lutionists were signally victorious, led
the defenders to believe the dictator
was planning a massed attack in the
near future. That Zelaya has been
covering his actual Intent to move
upon Hluouf lelds is now evident. De
fenders of the city say that they have
been woefully weakened by the re
moval of most of their forces to Ra
ma, where It Was believed Zelaya
would center his attack. The cun
ning of the former president Is illus
trated by his strategic move upon
RluefleM. Couriers have been dis
patched to Kama bearing the news of
the Impending attack. It Is deemed
doubtful If they will be able to break
through the line Zelaya Is reported
to have thrown In the van of his main
force.
Ilrali Completely Fooled.
Estrada, according to all reports,
was completely outwitted by the un
expected movements of Zelaya, and
It will be several hours before re
inforcements can be rushed to Blue
fields. General Vasmiez's negotia
tions with revolutionists near Kama
yesterday In which he Intimated he
might surrender, If given generous
terms, is now believe, to have been
a part ot the strategy the dictator
planned.
Night Attack Kvpcclctt.
Zelaya's army numbering four
thousand men. Is expected within rifle
range of Bluefields by nightfall, and
a night attack Is expected. Hundreds

OE DERAILMENT OF TRAIN
A kink In the track caused by a
troln running at an excessive rate of
speed was responsible for the derail
ment of train No. at Coe, Wednes
day morning. This was tho report
made by the committee of citizens and
officials which made two trips to the
scene of the accident and spent two
days In making their Investigations.
The comlnittee, however, does not at
tempt to fix thn Individual responsi
bility for the disaster. The great
number of trains which passed over
the spot after the kink was first
storted and the tlmo of derailment
makes It difficult for tho committee
to determine the definite responsi
bility. The following Is the report of the
committee In full:

it may appear that a sailor has little

Pan Francisco, Dec. 11. In an at-

"Tiecr Theodore T. Canham was
'etrocuted today.
We find that the derailment was
occasioned by some train or trains
previous to train No. 9 striking this
curve nt an excessive rate of speed,
throwing west end of same 1 3-4
Inches out of lino for a distance of
seventeen feet, which left bad kink
In track. Following trains striking
this kink knocked track out of gauge
and continued to do so to such an ex

gauge was sufficiency wide to per
mit wheels of O. R & N. chair car
175 to drop in between the rolls.
Wc find thnt the section foreman
was over this track four times on the

In track. Five passenger trains and
two freight trains. In addition to No.

was over It tho last time (at 3:30 p.

trains, both directions, make good
speed nt this point. No reports
made by any of these trains regarding

ningham coal land inquiry which will
probably conclude Its investigation at
Spokane Monday resumes Its sittings
in Minneapolis after the holidays, the
government will try to find out who
Is backing H. V. Wihchell, the mys

The government this morning secured
from F. Cuslilng Moore, of Walla Wal
la, a nephew of former Governor Miles
C Moore, an admission of knowledge
that Clarence Cunningham was to rc
oive a one eighth interest in each
claim for services In locating the prop
erty. He said he thought this a fair
consideration at the time but later
learned that Cunningham was- being
compensated on a salary basis. Moore
is the first witness to admit Cunning
ham's interests in the claims. Mooic
n'so followed the lead of recent wit
nesses, and denied having authorized
('upnlngliani to engage in the various
promotions in Alaska launched by
him.

Devore, 0f Wheeling, W. Va., father
of one of the dismissed cadets, recent
ly wrote to Cadet Sutton, asking for
the version of the latter as to the af
fray in which he was hazed, and
which led to the dismissal of the ca
dets who participated. In reply Sut
ton wrote that "considering the term
'harassing,' as def.ned by Webster
and used in the regulations of the
t'liitcj States Military academy in re
gard to hazing, I cannot conscientious
ly say that t was harassed, distressed,
or tired or fatigued or hazed In any
way by the mere fact of anyone tak
ing hold of my rifle." He further
vr.iti- about the affray as follows:
"This bunch of men came out. not
with any malicious intent or attempt
to injure or harm in any way. They
were not aware, 1 think, of the Iden
tity of the sentinel, and my being
hurt was an accident, pure and sim
ple. There was not at any time any
vicious intent to hurt or harm me
shown, so that I must say that I was
not heard In any way. At the time I
was hurt I do not think that any of
the nun were aware of the fact. I
am sure any or all of them would
have given me assistance If I had
needed it "
Regardless of the favorable con
struction placed by Cadet Sutton on
the action of his hazers, It Is prob
able that they will fail in their ef
forts to obtain reinstatement. There,
is a growing sentiment in congress
that cadets at West Point and An
napolis should be effectively punish
ed for brutal acts of hazing and in
consequence of this sentiment it Is
unite likely that the hazers of young
Sutton will not be permitted to re-enter
the military academy.

untold good to the sufferers of the

nt-.d the nation which pays annual toll
to the greatest disease with which the
people of this country have to con

Pendleton since the first of the

are being sold daily. One million of'
them have been assigned to Oregon
and it seems evident from the demand
that is being made for them, not only
i'i Portland but from all over the state .
that the entire lot will be sold. I
The money thus secured will be I

field of work be enlarged that the
necessities may be more nearly met.
With the spirit with which the peo

that the sales of stamps in Pendleton
will exceed those of any other city of

Bouvier, a wealthy wine merchant to

killed the older daughter of the chief
clerk of his counting house. Then
he ended his bloody carnival by send

Bouvier was one of the most promi

and was known throughout the sur
rounding vineyard country. He arose
as usual this morning Jut while pre
paring to go to his place of business
the mania "to kill came upon him.
Drawing a revolver he shot his wife
through the heart. When his aged
mother, attracted by the shot rushed
into the room she was met by a bullet
and fell dying beside her daughter-in-law.
Running to his appartments the
maniac seized a razor and rushed to ,
the part of the house occupied by his
two little daughters and son. Grasp
ing the youngest child by the hair, he
drew the razor across her throat al
most severing her head from her
body. Frantic with terror, the other
children fled from the room followed
by Bouvier. his face spattered ,and
razor dripping with blood. Cornering
the children in another part of the
house, the crazed father cut .their
throats and left them lying on the
floor. Clasping the gory razor in one
hand and the revolver in, the other
he rushed from the house and ran to
his office. In the counting room stood
the eldest daughter of his chief clerk.
When he leveled his revolver at the
defenseless girl the clerk sprang to
ward her only to receive a bullet

prostrate body of the man he shot the
daughter twice through the head kill
ing her instantly, and then placed the
gun against his right temple and blew

partnership after each lost a team
mate. The former entered the race
with Stole and the latter with Floyd

of the forced change they lost one lap
which has been made up since Thurs

sale, the cash consideration being
about J10.000. In the future the new
owners will conduct this place solely
for the purpose of soiling Franklin
automobiles and nil floor spnee will
be utilized as a display room.
"Corkrum and Mcintosh who have
long been recognized as among the
best auto experts in this city will leave
here about the first of the year for
Calgary, British Columbia. While
there they will farm vast pieces of
land which they have already pur
chased, having decided to give up the
automobile business for good.
"No repair shop is to be maintain
ed In connection with the regular
work, but storage room will be avail
able for automobile owners. The In
terior of the building may be some
what rearranged, so as to allow more
floor space for the machines.
"In taking over the Franklin

will establish one of the most com
plete sales rooms In the northwest.
He will carry a full line of this pop

knowledge of the business will en
