months ago with General Electric
bonds worth $200,000, Union Pacific
bonds of the same value and a cer
tified check for $100,000 belonging to
the bank. The arrest was made as
Foye tried to board a steamer bound
for Europe. He was disguised but
a pal. in whom he had confided, in
formed the police and they were
ready for him.
For three months the detectives of
ihe bank have been watching the i
stock markets, hoping to find some:
trace of the bonds and stocks should !
ihe absconding bank employee try to
turn Iiis stolen securities into cash.
Rut their vigil was in vain, as the
money stolen at the time when the
securities were taken was all that
was needed by Foye to pay his ex
penses. He has been in hiding in
this city all of the time, rarely going
out on the street.
All the securities were found on
Foye when he was arrested. He will
be given a preliminary hearing next
Friday.

GENERAL ZELAYA

i
Former President of Nicaragua Want- i
i
ed for Murder—Believed to Have !
Plenty of Money.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—The State
department. has been requested by the
government of Nicaragua to seek out
and arrest former President Zelaya,
who is wanted on the charge of mur
der.
Under the treaty existing between
the two countries the United States
must search for and deliver Zelaya
to the Nicaraguan authorities when
found.
The charge of rnurd r grew out of
tlie death of a number of citizens
during the rioting when Zelaya was
deposed and the government now de
sires to punish the former president,
who escaped and is in hiding. The
real reason ‘s said to be a desire to
force the return oj many millions of
dollars looted from the public treas
ury by the deposed dictator.

810111DESIREPROBE
Ask Department of Justice to Make
Desired Investigation—Claim
Make Small Profits.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26—The cold
storage dealers claim that they are
ready and willing that the depart
ment of Justice should investigate the
charges made against the cold stor
age operators and they have offered
to give the agents of the department
every assistance in making the probe.
The shortage of eggs, and not the
greed of the cold storage men, they
claim is the reason for the high prices
charged at present. The profits on
the storage of eggs are claimed to be
small and in times of plenty, the
men assert, large stocks of eggs are
hauled to the fertilizing plants, as
they can not be disposed of against
the fresh egg
The housewives league of New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia still
continue the boycott against hen fruit
and the retailers are afraid to carry
many eggs, as the demand is very
light. The price still remains high,
however, and ranch eggs are selling
in New York for 80 cents a dozen.

VILLA TRIUMPHS
JUAREZ BATTLE
Defeats the Federal Forces and Holds
City—Says Huerta’s Soldiers
1
Are Cowards.
EL PASO, Nov. 26.—General Villa,
In command of the rebels just across
the line at Juarez, has issued a state
ment regarding the retreat of the fed
eral troops from before that city,
claiming that the Huerta soldiers
were cowards and had run away from
a handful of rebels, leaving all their
artillery and three train loads of sup
plies and munitions of war.
The fighting about the city yester
day resulted in a defeat for the fed
eral troops, who retreated after fight
ing for twelve hours to capture the
city. For a second time it seemed
as if they would be successful, driving
General Villa and his command into
the city, but they lost the advantage
by failure to press the attack and
the rebels turned and drove them
from the city into the hills, captur
ing all their artillery and the trains
loaded with supplies.
The attacking force then fell back
on Chihuahua, which is being held
by a strong force of federal troops.
Don’t Feed Good and Punish Crim
inals Very Harshly—Socialist
to Investigate.
HEREIN, Nov. -ii. A number of
prominent Europeans who have made
an investigation into the Prussian
prison system have issued a report
condemning the penitentiaries as the
worst in the world. The manifesto
issued by them states that the worst
of horrors exist in the Prussian pris
ons: that men are flogged to death
for trivial offenses and the brutality
is said to be worse than that of the
Turks or Russians.
Men are strung up by their thumbs
and are allowed to remain in that
position for days without food or
drink and unable to release them
selves. The water cure is also giv
en and the dark loom is considered
a mild punishment. The food is al
so said to he very poor and generally
mouldy and decayed.
The statement has caused a sensa
tion i,nd the Socialist member of
parliament will demand an investi
gation of the charges and the pun
ishment of the officers in charge of
the prisons under whose orders the
abuses are allowed.

Premier Asquith Asks the War De
partment to Make Investiga
tion of Feat.
LONDON, Nov. 26.— Premier As
quith, of the British cabinet, has spent
a communication to the War depart
ment asking that army engineers be
detailed to determine the practicabil
ity of a tunnel connecting England
and France.
The reopening of (he question oi
building it tunnel between the Eng
lish isles and the continent of Eu
rope is taken as an indication that
the friendly relations between France
and England are now so well estab
lished that the English government
no longer doubts the friendship of
the French people.
For many years French engineers
have dreamed of a connecting tunnel
between the two countries, and when
objection was made by the English
war department the French govern
ment offered to allow the English
government to have charge of the
entrance to both ends of the tunnel,
as far as military necessities requir
ed and also to provide such safe
guards for flooding the tunnel in
time of war and to follow the regu
lations c>f the English war depart
ment, but they never could secure
permission to build.

Just to show the experts that they
did not know what they were talking
about Beachy did the feat a second
