NO BANANA RAISE; RIOTS COME
Nicaraguan Planters Make Violent
Protest Against Methods of
Steamship Company.
WASHINGTON, June 23.—Local com-
mercial discontent Is given as Die cause
apparently for the recent difficulties be-
tween the Bluefield Steamship Company
of Now Orleans and the banana planters
«t Bluefield, Nlcnraguu, which culminated
In rioting and destruction of crops and
jiropcrty. It was without apparent po-
litical aspect and whs devoid of racial
questions. American. llrltWh, Nicaraguan,
> hinese and planters of other nationali-
ties suffered In a greater or less degree.
The steamship company holds from the
Nicaragua!! government certain monopo-
listic transportation and commercial
concessions which enabled It to fix the
price of bananas and when the planters,
because of the fall In exchange and the
raising of local Import duties, demanded
a higher price for their products, the
company refused to entertain such a
proposition and the trouble began. A boy-
cott of the company continues.
"Monopolies of all kinds are forbidden,"
Is 1 lie wording of an article in the Nicar-
ngu.m constitution, governing organisa-
tions whose alleged operations may be In

BURRO GOES MAD.
First Case of Its Kind Reported ft
Its Kind
Laredo.
special Telegram to The Express.
LAREDO, Tex., June 23.—Tho first case
011 record In this city df a burro suffering
with rabbles was reported today. The
driver. Pedro Munos, narrowly escaped
serious injury.
The animal had bean acting queerly for
several days. While putting harness on
yesterday evening preparatory to hitch-
ing it up, the burro went raving mad, at-
tacking Munoz, who escaped with diffi-
culty. It then began chewing on the
harness and, tearing It to pieces, next
grawed its front legs
Munoas caught the rope
about the animal's neck
a tree. , ..
A neighbor, Mr. Petty, hearing the
screams of Munoz and tho strange nolBe
maye by the burro, rushed out with a
Winchester and killed the burro.
Whon examined It was found that the
flesh on tho burro was gnawed from tho
lore legs and the bones exposed.
RANOBRt AFTER THIKVM,

ATLANTA, Ga., June 23,-CIaiming
that the firemen were trying to intimi-
dnto the arbitrators, Mnjor Cumrolns,
i epresenting the Georgia Railroad before
the arbitration commission, objocted
strongly tiiiB afternoon to any testimony
indicating public opinion on the merits
of tho strike.
The firemen had introduced Mayor
Brand of Uthonia. It was at Llthonla
that, much disorder took place and whore
several negro firemen were severely
whipped. It was proposed to l^avo Mayor
Brand tell, not only of past assaults on
tho negro firemen, but to give It as his
, opinion that if the firemen were restored
' tii the cabs by the decision of the board
of arbitration the people would resort to
violence again.
CAT,US IT CONTEMPT.
"This is gross coutempt of the commis-
sion." said Cumnilngs, trembling with
anger. "If such testimony Is admitted
wo hail as. well close down our courts
arid lot mob violence rule. Tho conten-
tion hero now Is simply that the firemen
In effect say, 'we may be wrong in our
contest, but even if we are and you gen-
tlemen decide against us, the people of
Georgia will rise up in mobs and over-
rulu you,' I think this is a libel on tha
good people of this State. I most seri-
ously object to tlie admission of such
testimony."
Attorney Reuben Arnold argued spirit-
edly that the commission was not a court
and that It should permit a wide lati-
tude and in its award disregard such tes-
timony as was not considered proper, lie
claimed, however, that the commission
had a light only as a duty to bear such
evidence and to consider Is as it af-
fected the safety of all other employes
and even passengers
NEGROES MUST GO?
Before Major Cummins interrupted.
Brand had declared that, tho people along
tho line of the Georgia Hallway were
only permitting the negro firemen to
work now because they were Hsstired
that the arbitrators would decide in favor
of the white employes, lie was confident
that If the commission decided In favor
of the negroes the people would never
permit tlie blacks to run.
The arbitrators upon the conclusion of
Arnold's argument went into executive
session, at the end of which they an-
nounced that they would exclude all tes-
timony as to public opinion as not rele-
vant. .. , . .
"I may say." said Mr. Herbert, that
the decision is by unanimous consent."
This was a severe blow to the flrometi.
But they went on gamely offering cumu-
lative testimony as to the unfitness of
the negro as a fireman. About fifteen
mtfcvrors and peaco officers of towns along
the Georgia Hallway who were summoned
were notified that they might go home.
The decision will probably shorten tho
hearing.

Sarcastically Says Tariff Revision
Downward Is Not Contemplated.
WASHINGTON'. June US.-Ill a speech
In the interest of a. low duty on.pine-
apples. Senator Rayner today found op-
portunity to get on more general ground.
In quoting from a recent speech by
Senator Heyburn in which the Senator
hud said that the "revision" of the tariff
promised by the Republicans was merely
a promise "to look at the tariff, to look
into, to see again."
He clilded the Republicans with having
acted upon tho construction of the mean-
ing of "revision" as given by the dic-
tionaries rather than the meaning that
had been aci epted by the people generally.
The Idaho Senator, lie declared, was ex-
actly right in his definition of the word
as he himself had found by consulting its
origin. The word from which revision
was derived, he said when translated
into French, became "«u revolr," and
Into German "auf wieder sehn"—"I will
see you again."
That, he claimed, amid laughter was
the promise being carried out by the Re-
publicans of the Senate. He said he had
declared "revision" ub used by the Re-
publicans in the campaign meant nothing
whatever, but he predicted that In the
next campaign they would be called to
account by the voters of the country.
"The voters," he said, "will accept no
technical definition. You will arrive at the
conclusion that even in a document like
a political platform, constructed by cun-
ning and dexterous hands, the principles
of truth and honor must prevail; and
while strategem and artifices are resort-
ed to, one thing is sure and that is
treachery can never triumph and a lie
can never live."

LONDON, July 23.—Supporting the let-
ter protesting against the provisions of
tho budget signed by noarly forty Lon-
don bankers and merchants and sent to
Premier Asquith May 14, there was %
great mass meeting in the city this after-
noon at which it was resolved that thu
"main proposals of the budget weaken
security in all private property, discour-
age enterprise and would prove serious
In.iury to the commerce and industry of
the country."
The gathering, which numbered nearly
IOC*) persons, was thoroughly representa-
tive of all phases of city life. It was also
nonpolltlcal, and many of the prominent
men present were radicals. Lord Roth-
schild presided. He. said the meeting was
duo to the unsatisfactory reply of Pre-
mier Asquith to their representations of
May 14 and that it was desired to make
quite clear that the city objected to tha
budget proposals, which Introduced an
innovation In history.
He said further;
"These proposals are framed, not with
the view of a possible surplus, but the
certainty of a verv large surplus which

'development fund.' The whole principle
of the land clauses in the finance bill is

Xxird Avebury and Sir Felix Schuster
followed Lord Rothschild and spoke In
similar strain. Tho resolution was car-
ried bv acclamation. Lord Avebury de-
clared that the whole budget was unsound
arid unjust, that It would drive capital
out of the country, and that. In the long
run, the peers would bo the greatest suf-
ferers from lt.

SOUR LAKE, Tex., June 23.-The
Sour Lake oil field furnished yesterday
an example of a phenomenal accident
which resulted in saving a well 1700 feet
deep and at least $0000 to the owners.
Ben Hltt, a driller for Buckner and
Robinaon. who are drilling on the Mer-
chant Reservation lease, just south of
the Texas Company machine shops in
Sour Lake, while pulling out a 4-Inch pipe,
and while landing tho last string heard
the roar of gas from a pockot at least
one thousand feet deep which was sud-
denly released and blew the pipe upward
to the top of the derrick, partly turnins
over the traveling block, weighing two
tons, and uncoupling the hook from the
swivel ball, at which juncture the pipe
started back Into the hole and*.would
have ruined the well by telescoping itself
and junking up the hole, but which was
prevented by reason of thte traveling
block suddenly righting itself and se-
curely catching the swivel bailer, thus
holding the pipe and preventing the de-
struction of the well.
