ENVOY FEARS FOR FAMILY Estrada's Representative at Washing ton Has Heard Nothing; from Wife. FATHER IS NOW IN PRISON Insurgent Lender la Preparing Move Either on Greyton-n or Hinagua No Proposi tion for Peace.- to WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Dr. Salvador Castrlllo, Estrada's representative to thla government, has grave fears that Zelaya's followers have revenged themselves upon his family for the revolution activities in Washington. Castrlllo's father has been Imprisoned by Zelaya and he also fears for his wife and children. He has not heard from his peo ple In more than two weeks. Cablegrams from him to Consul Caldera aaking after hlB relatives have brought no reply. The State department will probably be asked to Inquire. The wife of former President Zelaya re mains In Managua, according to a dispatch to the State department from Vice Consul Caldera. Although no reason Is obtainable for her so doing, the fact that she has not Joined her husband has given rise to some suspicion of Intrigue respecting 2,elaya and It Is more than probable her movements will be carefully observed. Other tolegrams from Vice Consul Caldera state that General Toledo has been appointed commander-in-chief of the San Juan river division of the Madrls forces and that General liaztuei has been reappointed commander-in-chief of the Jarei division and thai he wl 1 proceed to the front at once. It la understood Madrls has not appointed any one to discuss the subject of peace with Estrada, other than as stated above. For several days no Inforatlon has been received from Nlcaraugua regarding the situation there. Estrada Is presumably pushing his propositions for an early ad vance either on Creytown r tiana(,ua.

Peter and Paul, The route of march was lined on either side by a wall of troops which Insured the emperor's safety from the terrorists, but the greater danger from the elements he made no at tempt to avoid. When he arrived at the cathedral within the fortress the emperor and others of the royalty who accompanied him were drenched to the skin.

The amendments ar doslgned to prevent overissues of stocks and bonds ana the custom known as "watering."

The railroad presidents objected furthci to the proposed amendment giving to ship pers the right of selecting a through route for their goods and to giving the Interstate Commerce commission the right to Initiate complaints and hold upnew-rattng nd Classifications by a railroad until sufficient cause shall be shown for the now rates. It was said that no bill has been prepared by the udmlnlstratlon to ' carry out the piesldcnt's Ideas as to a federal Incorpora tion law. He will leave the working out of this measure to congress. He will, however, recommend that the law be a voluntary one. The terms upon which charters are to be allowed and li censes granted will have to be Included in the law. but It Is believed that no law can empower tho executive branch of the government to revoke either a charter or a license and that such revocation can only come through the courts for cause.

AUTOMATIC SEEKS ENTRANCE Business Men of Des Moines Asked Opinion of System. CIECULAES SENT TO THEM Coal ffhortaae In low nranlllni from fonflaratlon of Coal In Tranalt by the Rail roads. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. In., Jan. S.-(St.ecla! Tele gram.) The business men of Des Moines were surprised today to receive a clrculHr letter opening the way for a new phaje of the telephone fight. The circulars were on the Des Moines Automatic Telephone com pany stationery and a stamped envelope was enclosed addressed to a postoffloe box number. The business men were asked whether or not they would give support to an automatic te'ephone system and pave some Information how such a system works and the advantages thereof. As a matter of fict the circulars were sent out by rep resentatives of a big. company engaged In building large plants for the automatic In Various cities, and It Indicates an Intent to reopen the telephone war. The Bell In terests recently bought control of the mu tual system, but the two have not as yet been consolidated. Coal Shortaarr. There Is much complaint In the state over conl shortage and today the ral'road commission received complaint of the rail roads' confiscating coal consigned to ship pers In small towns. If the cold weather continues It Is regarded as certain that there will be great distress In northwestern Iowa. Candidate Aarnlnet Carroll. The Iowa progressive dinner Snturday n'ght Is taken by the politicians to mean that within a short time there will be n candidate In the field for governor In op position to the present Incumbent. Just who this candidate will beseems to be very uncertain. Thero was ome desire that H. W. Byers enter the race hut as he has decided to run for congress this eliminates him. A number favor Lieute nant Governor George W. Clarke, but he prefers to continue as lieutenant governor one more term and then make the race for govrnor, If at all. He has not, however, definitely stated that he would not be a candidate If his fii ndq Ins'st. The majority prefer Govwint Warren Garst. There Is sentiment o t ie effect that he was fairly entitled to It the last time and .that It was an accident that he lost out also that he Is as much entitled to another term as the present Incumbent. The basis of the contest Is that while Governor Carroll always made some pretense of being with the progressives he has In office, turned out ail who had been at all active as progressives and In fact has shown himself to be not a progressive. The most serious matter, however, is that In general t his administration has been dis tinguished by a lack of fores and' character. Starts Conntr Campnlnn. B. B. Allen, a prominent lawyer of the city, has announced himself a candidate for mayor at the city primary in the spring. He was a candidate at the previous primary and was defeated by Mayor Mathis, who probably will not be a candidate again. Allen was one of a committee of lawyers that drafted the bill ror tho commission plan. The primaries will bo held In March and there will be a hard fight to secure an entire new city council.

The hunt was held but the hunters did not get a whack at a single rabbit. "WHAT WE WANT IS OFFICES." DECLARES TAMMANY LEADER Organisation Finds Little Comfort In Gaynor's Verbs 1 Boqnet to Murphy. NEW YORK, Jan. 3. -Chill comfort wa found by Tammany hall and diverse pol itical organizations toady In the appoint ments which Mayor Gaynor has made to his municipal family, and there were wrlt-J nigs on me city nail wall which Indicated that the horde of place-seekers may ex pect little If their claims for office depend only on political backing. Of nlno appointments made yesterday, but one went to a Tammany man, Rhine lander Waldo, selected as fire commis sioner. Mayor Gaynor, In making known part of his slate had somo kind of words for Leader Murphy which caused one dis trict leader to remark: "We don't want any verbal boquets. What wo want Is offices." Herman Ridder, editor of the Staats Zeitung, today declined the tender of the office of park commissioner. Mayor Gaynor came erly to work and as he entered the city, hall was much puzzled where to find his office. "Which way do I go?" he asked the watchman. BAUMS AND KENNEDYS STILL WRANGLE OVER OPTION Lot at Southeast Owner Mlxteenth and Jaekaon Cause of Litigation In District Court. The abandonment by the Woodmen of the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Jackson ha caused no cessation of legal hostilities between the iiauma and Ken nedy over the southeast corner at the same Intersection. Mrs. Anna M. Kennedy, T. Francis Ken nedy, James A. C. Kennedy, Marie P. Ken nedy and Edward M. Kennedy have filed an amended answer In district court to the J. E. and Iavld A. llaum petition to have enforced an option agreement entered Into respecting the sale of the lot.

The dispute in the matter hinges on the tendering by J. E. Uaum to J. A. C. Ken nedy of a check for $10,000 on the eve of the expiration of the option. Mr. Ilaum contends and Mr. Kennedy denies that the former made a perfectly good tender. Big Jit-suits from Little Uev Want Ads. Cities Spend Money for Play Flay Ground Association Shows Gen eral Interest in Movement Through out United States. NEW YORK. Jnn. S The year book of the Playground Association of Amrrlct, which ha Just been brought out In tills city, will show that out of 914 clth and towns In the United States having a popu lation of B.000 and over, Stt municipalities nre maintaining supervised playgrounds. The actual number of playgrounds that were being operated In 27 of these cities during lfO!) wns 1.5S.V About fifty-six prr cent of these supervlsr-d places for the play of children -are located In the area of greatest density of population. In the North Atlantic states, where the need for playgrounds has not only emphasised Itself strongly upon the social mind, but ha been met to a large extent by th actual establishment of playgrounds. The number of cltie In the North Atlantic states main taining playgrounds is 14!. and the num ber of playgrounds established In 123 of thrm Is S73. MuRsachusettes particularly has led In the playground movement, as In so many other movements for progress and social betterment. In about forty-nine per cent of the cities operating public playgrounds rtie manag ing authority, wholly or In part, I the city Itself, which is working through Its board of education, its park department, or other .municipal bureau or by combin ing the activities of the two or more de partments. In fifteen cities of the LTnlted States the mayor have appointed special commissions which are organized as city departments for the administration of piny grounds, riaygrounds are no longer left to the philanthropist: the cities them selves have awakened to their responsl bilitles and are Including the children In their plans. In fifty-five of the larger cities local playground associations have been estab lished, and many of the smaller towns have organized playground clmmlttees that will shortly be converted Into permanent organizations. Of great assistance have been the churches, women's clubs, Young Men's Christian associations, Associated Charities, and public-spirited men and wo men everywhere. An Index of the Interest of the movement Is afforded by a survey of the figures rep resenting the yearly expenditures for sites, equipment and the malntalnanee of play grounds. In many cases specific informa tion on this point Is not available, but 1S4 cities have sent In reports stating defln ltely what It cost them to operate their playgrounds. The total amount expended during the year by these 14 cities Is $1,303, 114. In eighteen per cent of the cities the amount of money set apart for playgrounds was appropriated entirely by the munlcl pallt while In twenty-three per cent the city combined with private organisations in the support of the playgrounds. One of the most Important results of the study and thought that have been devoted to the recreation problem Is the general recognition that the pfay leader, rahter than elaborate equipment, Is the essential factor in the playground. Get the right man or woman to lead boys and girl in their play, and all other things will follow. Two hundred and fifty-nine cities In the United States reported that they are em ploying 3,756 such leader In theilr play grounds.
