IRIAS. Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 4. Gen. Medina, of the Government forces, today made public letters and telegrams in substantiation of the claim that Gen.

Toledo and he did all in their power, to prevent the execution of Groce and Cannon, the Americans, decreed by President Zelaya. Onp of tho letters received by Gen. Medina from Groce on the day of the executions is as follows: "As a last favor I beg and implore you to delay the execution of the death sentences until an answer is received from Zelaya to our plea for mercy. For God's sake let us live until you can hope no ionger. As a brother Mason, to oe proven a friend, magnanimous ana kind.

I beseech vou to continue to do everything possible to save us. Words are Inadequate to expross our gratitude for all that you have already done for our welfare." Delayed Execution. Gen. Medina, who was commanded to see that the will of Zelaya was obeyed, declares that lie delayed the execution of the Americans purposely in tile hope that the reprieve asked by Groce would be received. He produces the original copy of two telegrams, which he received from the Nicaraguan President on the day preceding the execution, in which he was ordered specifically to proceed with the enforcement of the death penalty.

Another telegram received by him from Zelaya on the day after Groce and Cannon had been shot reads: "I acknowledge your notification of the execution and rejoice that the requirements of the law have been complied with." The following telegram was sent by Gen. Toledo to Medina the day before the condemned men were killed: "Am telegraphing President asking that lives Cannon and Groce be spared. Suppose you have already done so. I await final decision of the President before proceeding with the executions." Gen. Toledo also sent a letter to Medina, in the course of which he said: "Show the vanquished every consideration." Telegrams Stopped.

Gen. Medina makes public a telegram received by him from the Director of Telegraphs, and which indicates that Zelaya attempted to prevent Groce and Cannon communicating with the United States Consul. The Director of Telegraphs wired: "President disapproved your permitting transmission of telegrams from Groce and Cannon to American Consul He will not permit such concessions, as they are liable to place tho Government in difficulties." private banquet was given by personal friends to Gen. Irias on the eve of his departure for Costa Rica. President Madriz was present.

Irias Is leaving the countrv in order that the Madriz administration may be relieved of the suspicion of being under the influence of Zelaya's friends. TEE USUAL DENIAL. Zelaya Says Communicated "With Consul. Mexico City. Jan.

Santos Zelaya this afternoon strongly denied that Groce and Cannon were forbidden to communicate with the American Consul when shown a dispatch stating that Gen. Medina had produced evidence a how that Zelaya had forbidden them to put their case before the Consul. The former President of Nicaragua raid: NO ANSWER RECEIVED TO MR. FEHR'S LETTER ALL CLEWS TO ALMA KELLNEB HAVE BEEN EXPLODED. WOBK WILL PROCEED ON OTHER LINES, SAYS COUSIN.

DETECTIVES STILL AT SEA. "We have not received an answer to the communication we sent to the writer of the letter about Alma Kellner, which for a time we thought to be genuine," said Frank Fehr last night, "and It seems as though we are as far away from the solution of tho mystery as on the day the child disappeared. This practically explodes every clew that we have, and now we must redouble our efforts along other lines." When asked to state whether or not any reply had been received to the advertisement which the family had placed in the Cincinnati paper last Saturday afternoon in reply to the "want ad" that had appeared in the same paper last Thursday, Mr. Fehr declined to commit himself. He would only say: "We have not received any reply to any of our communications-" Fred F.

Kellner stated at the residence, at 507 East Broadway, last night that there were no new developments on the case. "I have not a thing new," said Mr. Kellner, "and I do not know what to think about this matter." He further stated that Mrs. Kellner was bearing up under the Increased strain. Capt.

Carnev, chief of detectives, said last night that he did not have a single new development on the case that amounted to anything more than the doings of some crank. "But wo are working," said the Chief; "we are not allowing anything to go by without It beingprobed to the bottom, and Just as soon as anything is dropped we will be In on the ground floor."

C. C. Fuller, superintendent of the Louisville and Cincinnati Packet Company, said yesterday that he hopes to start the steamer City of Louisville lor Cincinnati i-Tiday or baturday. capt. Fuller said that the Gorges and Jams are brenking up above and that It would be but a short time before the ice in the lower river begins to move.

This all depends on the weather remaining as it is There was little ice in the harbor yesterday. The gorge Is still holding above, but If it raJns to-night as predicted tho Ice will break up by to-day. RIvermen are of the opinion tliat none of the ice from above will reach here because it has a. long way to come and will melt before getting this far down the river All of tho gorges in tne Kanawha River and other Ohio River tributaries broke yesterday and the ice is moving rapidly southward lining the Ohio River and threatening river property. At Cincinnati the towbont Florence Mamie suffered a broken wheel by the ice and was forced to tie up.

Reports from headwaters last nicht said that several tow-boats have left the Smoky City with tows of coal. RIvermen do not think that they win experience a.ny trouble, as they are following the Ice and are riding the crest of a bit: rise The Lee Line Com pany, of Memphis, will make a strong bid for the freight and excursion business between Cincinnati and Memphis next summer.

The first fatality in England to result from a suffragette disturbance occurred to-night, when Alfred Hudson, a policeman, died from injuries received during a riot outside the Coliseum on August 10 last. Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, was addressing a mass meeting inside the building. An attempt on the part of a large force of Suffragettes to enter precipitated a riot, in which Hudson was injured internally. TOBACCO HEARING IS GOING FORWARD GOVEBNlffiENT CHARGES THE VIOLATION OF LAWS. DEFENSE PLEADS ACQUITTAL BY LOWEB COUBT.

ISSUE IS CLEARLY DRAWN. Washington, Jan. 4. After addressing the court for almost three hours and a half In the tobacco trust case, which is now under argument before the Supremo Court of the United States, Special Assistant Attorney General McReynolds concluded his argument in prosecution, of the case at 10 o'clock to-day and' was followed by De-lancey Nicoll, of New York, for the tobacco company. Mr.

McReynolds contended that the whole tobacco industry from the purchase of "the leaf to the completion of manufacture was In the control of the trust because of its interference with interstate commerce. "If," he said, "there is no power here to prevent such a course there is no control anywhere." He contended that the power or tne combination extended everywhere. Indeed, he asserted that it had been the purpose of ttie combination to gather in and control the entire tobacco business. If, he said, the tobacco com pany could not be under the Sherman law it would be impossible to prevent monopoly, with the result that the fancied security against extortion and wrong under which the American people lived would be a myth. Alleges Misrepresentation.

Mr. Xicoll pointed out what he said were misrepresentations on the part of the prosecution. For instance, he said that the Government had proceeded on the theory that the existence of tho American Tobacco Company was Injurious alike to the producers, consumers and dealers, whereas he asserted that there had boon no increase in the price of tobacco to consumers, nor damage to any class. He quoted from the judges In the court below statements to the effect that not only had there been no enhancement of the prices of tobacco, but that new enterprises had been begun and thrived since the organization of the tobacco company. He also undertook to show that additional acres of land had been devoted to the growth of tobacco in that period and said that one of the judges in the lower court had stated that the record in this case had shown that the tobacco business had been free from coercion and oppression, such as are incidental to most lines of business.

"So." he said, "we come acquitted by the court below of the grave charges that are made against us, and in the judgment of the court we stand before you with clean hands." HEAVY TOBACCO DELIVEiRIES- Over One-half of Unpooled Crop Has Been Beceived At Carlisle. Carlisle, Jan. 4. (Special.)

Mrs. Taft -was -present throughout the evening. To-night'e reception marked quite a radical change in the manner of conducting the great state affairs at the White House, and for the first time in many Administrations refreshments were served. The "blue room circle," which flourished during the Roosevelt Administrations, when a selected coterie of social friends were invited "behind the line," was entirely done away with. The number of invitations issued to each of the big receptions has been ma terially reduced by airs.

Taft, whoso idea is said to foe that every guest present should feel himself or herself the personal guests of the President and his wife and all should be treated alike. In the receiving line were only the Vice President and Mrs. Sherman, the members of the Cabinet and the ladies of their households." The guests assembled In the famed east room. The diplomats, in resplendent uniforms and accompanied by their suites, gave to the reception the color and brilliancy of a court function. The refreshments, served In the state din- Ing--room, consisted of creamed oys ters, salado, ices ana champagne punch.
