Frank B. Kellogg, Government's Chief
Trust Buster, Gives Roosevelt
Credit for Check on Railroad Re
bates. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 1.
The name of Theodore Roosevelt wa3
very lustily cheered hero by three J
hundred leading merchants, manufac
turers and shippers, when Frank It.
Kellogg, the government's chief
"trust buster," gave him tho credit
for tho enactment of laws preventing ;
railroad rebates and today thero is
much speculation as to tho signifi
cance of tho demonstration.
Kellogg delivered his nddress on
the relation of the railroad to tho
government last night.
If the roads should form one big
combination, declared Kellogg, ,t
would be necessary for the govern
ment to regulate all the details of
their business.
He urged ngninst the allowing of
railroads to control steamship lines
and declared, that the Panama canal
would be uselcs if it did not develop
competition.
Kellogg pointed out that if the rail
roads are permitted to gain control
of the steamship lines plying be
tween tho Atlantic and tho Pacific
coasts before the opening of the cn
nal, the public will awaken to tho re
alization that tho great waterway
will not havo the expected effect on
transcontinental railroad rates.
Kellogg then declared that former
President Rooosevelt's stand hnd
made possible and was responsible
for the laws which abolished rebating (
by railroads and at this point he was
interrupted by loud cheering. 1
He then declared that ho bclcived ,
President Taft would carry on this I
work. The statement, howovor, did '
not arouse any display of enthusiasm.

Feeling in Central America Is Bitter
Against United States Many Sal
vadoreans Also Aiding the Gov
ernment. NEW ORLEANS, Mnrch l.The
waning fortunes of tho government
forces in Nicaragua were improved
today by nddition to tho regular army
of five hundred Hondurnn soldiers,
according to dispatches received hero
from tho front.
The Hondurans joined the army of
President Madriz at Manngua, in
spito of the efforts of tho provisional
forces to prevent n junction. The
Hondurans are believed to bo com
manded by General Lara who was op
posed to the insurgent general Chnm
orro in tho bloody bnttlo of Tipitnpa
river.
The reported entrance of Hondurnn
troops into tho Nicaraguan struggle
is vouched for by deserters from tho
government. ' Tho renegades dcclaro
that many Salvadoreans also are
fighting for Madriz.
It is believed hero that the activity
of American soldiers of fortune in
the insurgent army lent to the
strength of Madriz to persuade the
Hondrans to enlist in his causo.
Feeling in Honduras against the
United States is bitter.
Yesterday certain measures asking
for concessions to several United
States senators were hooted off tho
floor of congress at tho Hondurnn

The General Electric
Radiant Toaster
produces crisp, delicious toast, on the dining room table. It makes
toast by radiant heat the correct way. The center of the bread
becomes heated before the outside is browned over, thus allowing
the necessary chemical changes to take place, without which toast
is soggy in the middle and hard on the outside.
The General Electric Radiant Toaster lightens breakfast tasks and
quickly pays for itself hy saving time and bread. Come and see a
demonstration of this electrical convenience.
