Defends Dollar Diplomacy. ,
Sacramento Calif., Oct 13. A
vigorous defense of "dollar diplo
macy" as exemplified by the Nicara
guan and Honduran loan treaties now
before the senate, was made here to
day by President Taft.
The president lauded the two treat
ies, which guarantee the collection of
the customs duties of the South Am
erican republics to satisfy loans to be
made by American bankers under the
treaties, as a means of preserving
peace in Central and South America.
He declared that with the debts of
theso two countries funded and the
collection of the customs In the
hand of men recommended by the
United States working under the pro
tection of this .country, revolutions
would cease. He urged that the In
terminable Honduran and Nicaraguan
revolutions have the custom houses
as their objective point, and that with
these under American protection there
would be no incentive to revolution.
The loans to be made by the Amer
ican firms of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the First National
Tank and the City National Bank of
New York, are to be used to liquidate
the debts of Honduras and Nicara
gua and their payment Is to be guar
anteed out of the customs receipts.
The president was greeted by eight
thousand people here and delivered
his addresse following a parade
through the principal streets.
While here he received a telegram
containing a request from the Mex
ican government, asking permission
to transport Mexican troops through
th0 southern part of the United States
in order to reach the scenes of Indian
uprisings.
DECIDED BY COUNCIL
At a special meeting of the city
council last evening, it was decided
to assess the cost of the paving of
Alta, Cottonwood and Webb street,
which Is to commence within a short
time, to property owners whose prop
erty fronts on the three streets, and
to those property owners whose prop
erty lies half a block either way from
the streets, 1. e. lt was decided that
property owners should pay for their
frontage as under the old system but
that the cost of the intersection
should be ussessed up to those prop
erty owners whose property lies wlth
l.i a half block from the Intersection
In either direction. This solution is
a modification of the original assess
ment plan under the Improvement
district system recently adopted .
LOST KF.Y; COSTS $1,500.
"Grtvn" Policeman ltesixinsihlo for
500 New Office IocUs. 1
Washington, Oct. 13. Tho careless
ness of. a Capitol policeman, who lost
the master key of the House office
building, has just cost the government
nearly $l..r.(10 for new locks. As "the
"master" key could not be found after
an active search lasting for more than
a month it was decided not to take
a chance by having a new one made,
but to have new cylinders made for
the 500 locks on the doors of offices
occupied by members of tho II use.
This work has just been completed.
The lost "master" key was in the
custody of a newly appointed police
man. He did not think much of lt
when he could not find the key, sim
ply reporting that It had vanished and
asking that a new one be made. When
the authorities got after him rather
sharply, he offered to pay for a new
one Finally, the seriousness of the
proposition dawned upon him and
when he found that the government
had to pay out $1,500 for new locks
on his account, he nearly fainted. He
keeps all his keys chained to himself
now.
