Down ing, an American railroad engineer who left Honduras about three weeks ago. before the latest reported Insur rection, has arrived here after a scries of thrilling experiences. Downing says he and another Ameri can, Captain F. E. Miller, were living near the government barracks at La guna. The night that General Marin started his end of the recently success ful Bonilla revolution prematurely, they were charged by government troops xnd fired on. They finally succeeded In •pntering the house of a Mr. Van Blar cum. Here they were kept prisoners for 16 days, the house surrounded by troops before the American vice consul procured bond for them. Later, In their absence, they were .convicted by a court of being revolu tionists, and, but for the firmness of Mr. Van Blareum refusing to give them up, would probably have been executed. Finally, ascertaining the Balling time of the steamer Hiram and having secured passage, they stole a switeh engine and rode It to the port at the other end of the town, where they got aboard, Miller going to British Honduras, while Downing came to New Orleans, enroute to his home at Salem, Ore.

PRESIDENT IS CITED BY ROOSEVELT IN COURT CRITICISM Sx-Preaident, in His Syracuse Speech, Replies to Attacks of His Enemies Upon Position. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 20.—Abraham Lincoln and William Howard Taft were (noted by Theodore Roosevelt today in •upport of his claim of the right to criticise the decisions of the supreme court of the United States. Colonel Roosevelt delivered an address at the state fair, and the criticisms made of him for his questioning of two deci sions of the supreme court constituted the burden of his talk. Mr. Roosevelt declared that he had merely echoed the dissenting opinions of members of the court, particularly the opinion of Justice Harlan, in what ho had said in criticism of the decisions of the court in the Knight sugar case end the “bakeshop” case. Lincoln on Dred Scott. Mr. Roosevelt quoted at length from Abraham Lincoln’s criticism of tho court in the Drt d Scott case. He de clared that Lincoln’s language was in finitely stronger than anything he had uttered. “If I have erred.” said Mr. Roose velt. “I have erred in company with Abraham Lincoln.” Then Mr. Roosevelt quoted President Taft. He said: “Nor do I have to go only to the statements of the past fur pre cedents. The president,of the United States, Mr. Taft, has served his country honorably and uprightly in many positions—as judge, as governor of the Philippines, as secretary of war, and now as presi dent—for to him and the congress act ing with him we owe the creation of a tariff commission, the adoption of maximum and minimum tariff law treaties with foreign powers, tho proper treatment of the Philippines under tho tariff, the increase in tho efficiency of the interstate commerce law. the beginning of a national legis lative program providing for tho exercise of the taxing power in connection with corporation do ing an interstate business, a pos tal savings bank bill, the consti tution of a committee to report a remedy for over capitalization In con nection with the issue of stocks and bonds; but few of his services arc more deserving of record than what he said In this very matter of criticism of the Judiciary. What Mr. Taft Thought. “Speaking as a United States circuit Judge 15 years ago, he said: “ 'The opportunity freely and pub licly to criticise judicial action is of vastly more importance to the body politic than the immunity of courts and fudges from unjust aspersions and at tacks. Nothing tends more to render judges careful in their decisions, and anxious to do exact justice, than the consciousness that every act of theirs Is to be submitted to the intelligent scrutiny and candid criticism of their fellow men. In the case of judges hav ing a life tenure indeed, their very in dependence makes the right freely to comment on their decisions of greater importance because it is the only prac ticable and available instrument in the hands of a free people to keep such judges alive to the reasonable demands of those they serve.’ ” TAFT STILL WILLING TO ACCEPT A SECOND TERM Beverly, Mass., Sept. 20.—The pub lication of a story In certain newspa pers purporting to come from Beverly and announcing that President Taft had decided to step aside as a presi dential candidate in 1912 to make way for Colonel Theodore Rooeevelt brought many Inquiries to the summer capital yesterday. It was decided not to dig nify the story, which Is reported to be without foundation whatever, with a statement. It can be stated there has been no change In President Taft’s attitude to ward a second term, since he told a number of friends a few months ago that he would accept a second nom ination If his party desired It. The president, It Is sa'id, is not considering his chances for a second term one way or the other at this time. From the first he has said that he would devote himself to carrying out as near us possible the pledges of the platform on which he was elected for a four year term. Mr. Taft, it is pointed out, does not know how to play politics, and he has been quoted as saying that he would not do so if he could.

New York, Kept. 20.—Bradstrect's Saturday said: Trade and Industrial exports are rather more irregular. The first rush of fall buying is over at many cities, but fall festivals and state fairs still attract visitors to market. Western reports are still the most optimistic, and liberal marketing of cereal crops has made far more plentiful money supplies and an apparently easier po sition of western banks. Reports from leading industries are of rather less than normal expansion In activity. Iron and steel are reported no more active and a larger volume o( capacity Is reported unemployed. Cur tailment is still in evidence In the leading textile industries. The eastern shoe trade Is reported working onlj about two thirds of shoe machinery capacity.

WARRIOR OF MANY CONFLICTS LIKELY TO MEET TROURLE Was a News Fakir During th« Cuban War and Has Lived a Highly Seasoned Existence. Washington. Sept. 19. —It Captain Jorge Nelken T. Waldborg. erstwhile of Argentina, pretended American, typical soldier of fortune and one of tho few men who ever succeeded In selling the late Senator Mark A. Hanna a gold brick, does not return to Wash ington within the next 60 days, he la likely to lose hla alleged American citizenship and be denied tho protec tion of tho American flag. An order will be Issued In the district court giving him that time In which to ap pear and show cnuse why his naturali zation papers should not be cancelled. Captain Waldberg flourished In Washington 12 years ago, during tho Spanlsh-Amerlcan war, and a few years later, at tho Pan-American expo sition at Buffalo, encountered tho lata Senator Hanna, whose experience with him Is said to have cost the senator several thousand dollars and to hava given him nn Insight Into Laitln-Amerl ran cleverness which he had not before known. oouin «merican numoug. The captain came to Washington with n long military record. Having been born in Argentina, ha ban lived In half a dozen South American coun tries and has been engaged In many revolutions In the cause of liberty. Exiled, when unsuccessful, he dropped Into New York one day and organized a company of Greok fruit venders, whom he took to Athens, joined the Greek army and fought In the Graeco Turkish war. All that he got out of that contest was a little military glory and a wife. He married a very beautiful daughter of a professor In the University of Athens and returned to America In time to take up newspaper work at the outbreak of the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war. Being able to speak several lan guages fluently, and especially Span ish, he courted the friendship of Senor Palma, late president of Cuba, and Senor Quesada, formerly Cuban minis ter to the United States, who were then in charge of the Cuban Jaunta In Washington. He espoused their cause most ardently. There was a great demand for news Trom Cuba, and the genius of Nelken led him to make translations from Spanish and Cuban newspapers, for which he found ready market with the Washington correspondents. His suc :ess prompted him to "fake" when his tews sources became exhausted. One Jf these “fakes" was a dispatch which }e put forth all over the country, tell bg In most dramatic manner of the! ittempted assassination of General' Blanco, who was then governor-general >f Cuba, and which caused a great ieal of excitement at the time.

In this connection hrt lucceeded In interesting Senator Han in In the publication of a sort of per lonal history of the three Americans,' with elaborate writeups of dlstlnguish id statesmen. Senator Hanna fell for his game and paid him a large sum olf money for writeups of President Mc Kinley and himself and lent his name to the undertaking. The publication .’ailed and Senator Hanna was out a argo sum of money and much experi ence. • Not long ago the captain turned up b Constantinople and became Involved ■n some trouble there which prompted aim to demand the protection of the (\merican flag. He presented his case it the embassy, and In endeavoring to rstabllsh the fact that he was a natur alized American citizen, some disclos ures came to light regarding his papers which led the American charge to re fer the matter to the state department. The department In turn made Inquiry it the district court, with the result (hat nn order was Issued requiring him to show cause within 60 days why his papers should not be cancelled.
