I ! r I HI WITH ZELAYA Kmx Sirifs liplimatlc Relattees With Nicwifiai Tyrant, NAY IECKNIZE RETILUTIINiSTS Brandt Zelaya ai Irresponsible Trou ble Makar Question of War Left to Congrats. Washington, Dee. 2. Secretary of State Koox late today returned the passports of Felipe Rodriguez, charge d'affaires of the Niearaguan legation, with a letter scathingly denouncing the Zelayan administration of the gov ernment of Nicaragua. Tho letter is definitely declared to represent tho views of President Taft and b about as plain spoken as any thing emanating from tho state de partment In many years. The extraordinary feature of the let ter Is that It seems to evlneo an inten tion on tho part of tho United State to bold President zeiaya personally re sponsible for the alleged torturo and execution of the Americans, Cannon and Grace, and exhibits the unique sit uation of one government holding tho chief executive of another practically as a common malefactor. Zelaya is branded as a violator of solemn international conventions, a dis turber of national and International peace, a tyrant whose administration has been a blot upon the name of good government. Secretary Knox virtually announces the recognition of the Niearaguan rev olutionists, declares it to be the con viction of the United States that tho revolution represents the sentiments of a majority of the Niearaguan people, and that thero Is evidently no respon sible government with which tho United States can deal. Ho therefore announces that all par tic will be held accountable for their aotions as affecting the interests of Americans and the peace of Central America. lie further informs Benor Rodriguez that, whllo ho has lost his diplomatic quality, he may atill serve as an "un official channel of communication with the faction which he is regarded as rep resenting." This brings the crisis as near to the status of war as it could be brought by executive action without a definite dec laration by congress, which will con vene next Monday. Mr. Knox 'a letter in all but so many words makes it plain that the action represents the wish and attitude of all the Central American States' with the single exception of Honduras, which is regarded ere as en tirely dominated by Zclayt PEARL NECKLACE SEIZED. Alleged Attempt to Smuggle Jewels Into Country Leads to Loss. New York, Dec. 2. The Chesbrough pearl necklace was seized today by Collector Loeb, who appraises its 312 units, with the duty added, at IW.oiw. The owner is Mrs. Fremont B. Ches brough, wife of a millionaire lumber man of Detroit and Boston. Two customs inspectors swear they round a bill or. sale lor toe pearls last "May in the false bottom of ono of Mrs. Chesbrough 's trunks, but the pearls were missing. According to Ches brough. the Jewels were being held to his order in Toronto, Canada. Collector Loeb says that he insisted upon pos session, but was given what proved to be an imitation. He continued to press the govern ment's claim, and on July 28 he ob tained the original. He has held them since, pending proof that they had never been in this country. Such proof has not been forthcoming, according to Mr. Loeb, and today the neklaee was seized as n preliminary to action against Mrs. Chesbrough. Wilhelmina Shows Speed. Newport News, Vo., Nor. 30 In her official trials today the big freight and passenger steamer Wilhelmins, built by the Newsport News Shipbuild ing & Drydocking company, developed a speed of 17 knots an hour, 2V4 knots in excess of the contract speed.

San Francisco Health Board Wins Fight oa Disease, San Francisco, Dec 3. Aw ordinance framed by the board of health, imposing regulations upon persons afflicted with tuberculosis, was passed by tho board of supervisors yesterday. Under it physicians are required to report within SM hour every person coming under their notice who shows symptoms of tuberculosis. A complete record of every caso will be kept by the health department. When a case is reported, it Is mado the duty of the physician to make im mediate report if the patient vacates the quarters he waa then occupying, or it (hero is no physician, then the duty devolves on the landlord. Tho apart ments must bo disinfected and renovated before they can again bo occupied. The cleaning or renovating must be done nt the expense of tho landlord, and If it Is not dono to the satisfaction of the health authorities, then tho following notice will be posted at tbo door of tho room: "Tuberculosis is a communicable dis ease. These apartments bavo been oc cunied by a consumptive, and may bo infected. They must not bo occupied until tho order of the health officer, directing the disinfection and renova tion, has been complied with." Tho most radical featuro of the new taw is that which gives the health au thorities power to remove a victim from his own home by force, if it is believed that his preseneo thero menaces his children or the other member of his family. The health officer become clothed with unlimited rower In his campaign against the disease, and ther is no appeal irom bis oruer, Anoiner section bars children showing symptoms of tho disease from the private and public schools.
