INDUSTRIALISTS ALLEGE
GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY
Accuse all Officials and Civic Organi
sations of Spokane With Violating
Constitution In Free Speech Fight
Charge that in Prison Men and
Women Were Cruelly Tortured
Ajppeal to all Workers to Join In
Battle.
San Francisco, Dec. 29. This city
Is placarded today with bills bearing
the title In big letters: "The Shame
of Spokane," Issued by the Industrial
Workers of the World, bearing the
name of Vincent St John as secre
tary. At the top of the bills appears
a cartoon showing the Liberty bell
marked. "The Spirit of 1776," while
beside It is a policeman's helmet and
club, bearing the legend "The Spirit
of 1909."
The bills quote the first amend
ment to the federal constitution re
garding free speech and further say
in part: "At the present time the city
of Spokane, Wash., the Citizens Alli
ance, the Chamber of Commerce, the
employement agents, a murderous po
lice force, deputies, Plnkerton's po
lice, the superior court judges and
other paid sluggers have entered Into
a conspiracy to set aside the consti
tution of the state of Washington and
of the United States. In pursuance
of such conspiracy the above named
..officials have Imprisoned over 200
working men and women on trumped
up charges of disorderly conduct.
The only crime of which these work
lngmen and women have been guilty
Is the crime of attempting to exercise
the right of free speech granted them
by the constitution of the state of
Washington and by the constitution of
the- United States.
"Not content with arresting the
workers for attempting to exercise
their constitutional rights, these offi
cial outlaws have subjected their pris
oners to all the tortures their Inge
nuity can devise. The methods of the
Russian government are In a fair
way to be surpassed. Men have been
beaten senseless and women outraged
by brutes of the police uniform. Su
perior court judges, obligated to up
hold the constitution of Washington,
have brasenly denied writs of habeas
corpus upon the grounds that they
were applied for only 'to make
trouble', and prisoners have been de
nied the right to see counsel.
"Peaceable meetings have been
raided and speakers arrested. Con
spiracy charges have been trumped up
agalnHt all whom this band of cor
poration tools consider to bo in their
way. The 'Industrial Worker,' the
official publication of local unions In
Spokane has been confiscated by the
outlaws In uniform. From 18 to 24
victims have been squeezed Into cells
six by eight feet square, steam turned
on them, and left In that condition
for 36 hours.
"Workers of America, this fight Is
the beginning of a concerted conspir
acy on the part of the employing class
of this country to deny the right of
organization and agitation to the
working class. This fight Is your
fight. In this struggle you can help.
Call meetings In your locality. Ex
pose the Spokane Infamy and Us offi
cials. Do not patronize the merch
ants of that community. It possible
send volunteers to further test the
right of free speech and pcaseablo as
semblage. Money will be needed to
defray the cost of legal defense for
the niemln-rs charged with conspiracy.
Hold meetings, collert funds, and
send the same to Fred W. Heslowood,

Outlaw Dictator Declares Madriz Is
Only Provisional President, and
Exhibit Document) Which He
Claims Aro Proof Says Stories of
His Fortune Are Exaggerated and
Tliut He Never Robbed the People
Denies He is Prisoner of Mexico.
Cordora, Mexico, Dec. 29. Jose
Santos Zelaya declared lust night
that he Is still president of Nicaragua
although he may never go back to
that country o enjoy- the privileges
of the office. Madriz, he asserted, is
only a provisional president and he
(Zelaya) has net relinquished the of
fice. Asked about conditions imposed by
the British government in reply to
his request for asylum aboard the
British sloop of var Clearwater, Ze
laya admitted' that he was told he
could board her only with the under
standing that he was to agree to leave
Nicaragua forever. These conditions,
he said he declined to accept.
Talks to the Press.
In a statement made to a press
representative on the train n which
he was traveling to Mexico City, Ze
laya said he was still the head of iiu
Xlcaraguan government. He was
leaving the country for an indefinite
period in the hope that conditions
would qu'et again. In support of his
declaration, hlT'exfriTEried papers at
tached to which were government
seals un.j ribbons. 1 iif ie paper, he
said, contained the proof of the truth
of his statement.
In further support of his claim it
was pointed out by members of his
party that the Guerrero floated the
M.-iiraauan flag at her masthead in
addit on to the Mex.can flag. The
reports concerning his wealth, Ze
laya said, were grossly exaggerated.
:;.! fortune Is not more than $2,
ii'iit.iion gold and Is Invested mostly
in Nlcaraguati government bonds. He
ciaiiiicd to have advanced the $50,
OnO paid on the Emery claim as a
personal loan out of his funds, there
having been no money in the govern
ment treasury.
Th s amount, he said, had never
been refunded. He strongly denied
that he had wrongly obtained any
part of his fortune through conces
sions of which he had the disposal.
He declared a vote of thanks had been
tendered him officially beforo he left
home for service rendered to his
country.
Denies He Is Prisoner.
Zelaya denied that he was a pris
oner In the hands of the Mex'can of
ficials In any sense of the word.
He was asked whether it was a fact,
ns reported In a dispatch from Man
agua that, in giving him refuge In this
country, the Mexican government ac
cepted responslbil ty for his person
and In doing so looked upon him as a
prisoner. He stated emphatically that
such was not the case and that he
was free to go where he chose.
Zelaya declared that he favored
friendly Intervontlon on the part of
the Mexican and United States gov
ernments to the end that a consolida
tion of nil the Central American re
publics m'ght be brought about.
Ho said he believed Secretary Knox
was now realizing the injustice of his
attitude toward him and declared he
never understood why. the secretary
should have molested him.
Ho might go to Belgium to live, he
said. In any event, he would not re
turn to Nicaragua unt'l peace Is re
stored. It was bis opinion that the war
would end within two months, but he
would not venture an opinion as to
! which side would be successful.

New York, Dec. 29. The Intercol
legiate Athletic association adopted
and submitted to the rules commit
tee last night a resolut'on calling for
a -modification of the football play
ing rules to reduce the Injury to con
testants to a minimum.
The resolution, which waa intro
duced by Professor E. K. Hall of
Dartsmouth and adopted after three
hours of acrimonious discussion, fol
lows: "That the football rules committee
of this association be instructed to
use every possible endeavor to bring
about such a modification of the rules
as in their Judgment shall tend to
redure to a minimum the danger of
physical injury' to players and at the
same time to retain as far as possible
the most desirable and wholesome
features of the game."
Three Vot In Optoitlon.
Only three votes were registered
against the resolution, but nearly ev
ery college in the west had some
tiling to say concerning it.
Professor Alonzo A." '.Stagg of the
ln!ver'ty of Chicago made a mo
il ii ihat they would prohibit all of
f rial oi a football game, includ ng
u.np.re. referees nn.l participants
fr.m talking to newspaper men after
the same." Stagg made a strong ap
peal for this motion, saying that he
hn.,l bit'ii grisriy misquoted at times,
hut the convenfen defeated the mo
t.en by an overwhi huing vote.
The revision of the game was or

Jordan Recommends Rugby.
A letter was read from David Starr
Jordan, president of the Lei and Stan
ford university, stating that the Am
or can game had been abandoned
there and that the English game had
been found satisfactory, not only to
the students, but to the spectators.
West Point submitted a set resolu
tion which called for a radical change
In the playing rules, but these, with
other resolutions, were substituted
by the resolution offered by Mr. Hall
of Dartsmouth.
It became apparent that the larger
colleges were in favor of the present
play.ng rules, perhaps In modified
form and that smaller Institutions
were violently opposed to them. The
representative of nearly every insti
tution of higher learn ng between
New York and San Francisco made
an address and many offered motions
that would limit the danger of the
present football game. These offer
ings became so confused that Hall's
resolution was adopted as a compro
m'se. Cornell Favors Changes.
Kepresentnt.ves from Cornell and
other Institutions not directly repre
sented in Hie association suggested
that tlie rules minimizing the danger
ot the sport would be acceptable. It
v as the concensus of opinion that
rules regulat tig mass plays and the
running tackle, otherwise known as
the flying tackle. and playing
through the I'.tie would have to be
abandoned. Representatives of a
mini her of larger colli ges expressed,
ihenisi Ives not only in favor of this,
hut conveyed the threat that they
would i ither adopt a modified form
of football or would withdraw from
the associat. on.

Kemp of the tug Ariel, who asserts
that he saw three masts of a schoon

Probably the last person to see the
Palmer before she sank was CaplatsT
