EH BOOSTS SMITH FOS THE HHESiHEIIH Georgia’s Gov.-Elect Finds Fa vor in the Eyes of the Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 17.—From an editorial in the week’s issue of the Com moner it is apparent that W. J. Bryan does not expect to run for president in 1912. He says: "The Georgia convention In ratifying the nomination of ex-Gov. Hoke Smith, who recently won the gubernatorial nom ination at the primary, suggested him for the presidency. And why not? In 1900 and 1908 whenever Mr. Bryan s nomina tion was suggested the corporation pa pers of the east insisted that the nomi nation ought to go to the south. Why not give the south a chance now? Hoke Smith is from the south. He is a big man, too. He was in the cabinet. “He- has been governor and will be governor again. Why do the corporation papers not boom Smith? Why? "Well, Just read the following from his speech at the convention and you will see. He said: " The great corporations in Georgia must keep out of politics. They must not be allowed by hired politicians' agents to dominate or control legislation or administration.’ That seals his doom so far as the corporation papers are concerned, but it ought to strengthen hitn with the people. "And the gold Democrats. Why don’t they fly to tjie support of Smith? He was a gold man. he was not ’tainted with free silver.’ Why don’t they start a boom for him? Because he made the fatal mistake of voting for Mr. Bryan. That ended it with them. He forfeited his claim to Statesmanship. "But Hoke Smith’s boi>m has been launched by his own state and we shall see whether it was a southern man the corporation papers wanted or simply a representative of the corporations living tn the south.” NEW ORLEANS LOSES TWELFTH PLACE IN SIZE with 287.KX in 1900.

IMEUS INSULTED Bl HfINDURAN MES Flag Is Torn Down and Cut to Shreds as Blood Is Clamored For NEW ORLEANS, La.. Sept. 17.—" The revolution in Honduras against Presi dent Davilla has not yet really started, but the pent-up feelin® is growing so intense that an otffbreak is inevitable,” declared H. C- Downing, an American railroad engineer, Who .left Honduras about three weeks ago (before the latest reported insurrection). Mr. Downing, who for the larger part of the last 11 years has served as engineer on the Honduras railroad, left that country after a series of thrilling ex periences—and that he got away at all is /lue to his own nerve and the help of fellow-Amerlcans. He was suspected of being in sympa thy with the revolution of Manuel Bonilla, which came to grief before being fairly launched. Downing says he and another American, Capt. F., E. Miller, were living near the govern ment barracks at LaGuna. The night that General Marin started his end ot the revolution prematurely, Downing and Miller started to Marin’s head quarters to see what was going on, but government troops got after them and he heard the officer command ms sol diers to “Kill the d— Americans!” They got back to Miller’s house and raised the American flag, but soon real izing that it affondefl poor protection, attempted flight. Honduran soldiers followed and fired on them, but they finally succeeded in entering the house of a Mr. Yan Blar ciim by a rear door, the front being guarded by a sentry. Here they were kept prisoners for 16 days, the house surrounded by troops demanding their surrender, before the American vice consul procured bond for them. Later, in their absence, they were tried by a court-martial and convicted of being revolutionists, and but for the firmness of Mr. Van Blarcum refusing to give them up, would probably have been executed. Finally, ascertaining the sailing time of the steamship Hiram and having secured passage, they stole a switch engine they saw standing near their refuge and rode it to the port at the other end of town where they got aboard, filler going to British Hon duras, while Downing came to New Orleans, en route to his home at Salem, OrtE'' . , Mr. Downing says the crowd in au thority at Puerto Cortes is all anti- American and as showing the absolute contempt for the American government felt by that gang of natives, be says the house of Miller on which the Ameri can flag was raised, was looted by the soldiers and the flag torn down and cut to shreds.
