President Speare, In speaking "of the Federal registration bill which wag introduced by Representative Cocks, of New York, said: Little Objection to Bill. "The only objection that has been raised against the bill la the fact that it might Infringe upon the rights of the various: States. The only way that It could do thta that I am able to see would be by depriving them of a certain amount ot revenue which they would otherwise derive from the sale of licenses to tourists passing through their community.

On the other hand, these same tourists would more than make up what is lost in the amount they would spend while within of the Stale." Chairman Terry, of the legislative board of tiie A. A. in explaining why the matter is being pushed so strongly at this particular time, said: "The storm has been brewing for some time, and every day the automobile industry is becoming a greater factor in trade.

Detective Howes was assigned to the case, and while looking over the scene of the robbery found a box which had contained matches. In It he found a receipt from a local photographer showing that 50 cents had been paid for four photographs. The photographer remembered that he took the picture of two young men and quickly produced a plate which showed the detective that the men were Vernon and King.

Attorney General -Wickersham and Acting Secretary of the Treasury, Norton held a conference yesterday on the corporation tax law. President Taft some time ago promised business' men who called to object particularly to the publicity clause of the law that he would consult with Mr.

Wickersham and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh about It. The conference between Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Norton was about the law in general, but much time was devoted to the.discussion of the publicity clause. While the administration desires, was said; to prevent any undue display of any corporation's secrets, many of the complaints are thought to have bwen prompted by the smaller corporations.

the mountains from Bluenelds and Grey- town, and finally reached Managua, thai ill-fated and unkempt little capital became a scene of riot and anarchy, indeed. The plaza in front of the Palaclo Blanca, where President Zelaya resided with- his family, became a scene of blood-' Shed' and of wild threats and curses about the ao-called Important Factor in Household. And not the least important factor the presidential household was this' young woman from Washington, who always thinking to herself, "since they have such a fiendish hate for Americans, perhaps they hate me worse than anybody e3se." She would peer out the grated windows of the palace and see these hot- blooded Indians spitting on' the walls to show their contempt, sneering loudly, waving knives, and vowing to heaven that they would be first to make the tyrant bite the dust. And when she ventured out with -her husband to do some shopping the mob would- draw- around them with shouts and cry, we'll kill all the family of yes, you, petite Rubinstein, and you, Ameri- calne!" All these long, weary weeks soldiers were returning from the front, gaunt with yellow feveiv a.nd telttng wild tales of heroism and disaster. At Rama there were, stories of infuriated men buried up to their chins In yellow mud, and left to die there, with buzzards plucking out their eyes.

Jhe refugees brought such appalling tales home and' caused many a bright young -patriot to quail. But the people as a whole, whether Zelaya or Estrada adherents, were brave. They fought without fear. 'Hour of Abdication Arrives. When Managua, the little mountain capital, finally turned heart against Zelaya, the moment of abdication was at hand.

One night the order came to the "Palacio blanca," "Pack up your goods and leave." Tlie lights burned late while the president, determined not to leave an heirloom or treasured possession behind, filled all his trunks to the bursting, As for Alfonso Zelaya and his wife, they had but little with them, and discreetly quit the palace for the home of a friend. Three days after President Zelaya- sailed on the gunboat General Guerrero, the young couple made a kuiiet journey to the seaport, Corlnto, and embarked for Costa Itica. "I almost wept with joy when I knew that Nicaragua was behind us," aald Mrs. Zelaya. "I had smiled during" all these months of strain and fear and worry, but it was only the thought of getting hack home again that buoyed me up and kept me from breaking down.

Many engagements were, offered, but the Journey to America interfered- with some of them.

It is understood that $8,500 was paid for the- property, which was purchased as an investment.

whicli Dennie Trapley, a cripple, of Savannah, h3 dlacovereiJ' pioves- all claims tor if, floriculture "ahd cuttlvation ot cotton will" fce fevoluilonized. Trapley is In Washington trying to have hla formula patented. By process, which consists of the mixing 1 of tiiree inexpensive and common chemicals into a fluVfl, black cotton can' be produced at an expense one-tenth that of "dye. He says he has produced black roses, and he declares that any flower can be cultivated so that its blooms be black. Back of Trapley and his claims are Representative Edwards, of Georgia, and Col.

A. R. Lawton, vice president of the Georgia Central -Railroad and wealthy of Savannah. On March 1 Trap- ley wiU send from his In Georgia to Kepresentative Edwards for exhibit in Washington a rose plant bearing several black blooms, also a number of "buds equally black. This was tfto statement made 1o Representative Sdwards toy Trapley yesterday.

Trapley arrived In Washington Sunday. He wae preceded by a letter from Col. Lawton, who asked warda to take the man in tow. Together the two visited the patent office, and told the assistant of patents, Cornelius C. Billings, of the wonderful discovery.

-Corpmissioner Billings immediately gave Trapley the required papers to make application for a patent. Trap- ley said MV. Billings: Like Watering a Plant. "After fifteen years of experimenting I have Discovered a process by which black, roses and black cdtton may be produced. The formula iB inexpensive.

It consists of three inexpensive chemicals which are diluted with -water. "I have taken an ordinary rosebush and planted it in rich earth, and ly feeding it this chemical fluid have produced a rose as large and heavy as an American Beauty and as black as coal. The of this rose have the same gloss and luster as the American Beauty. The feeding process is exactly the some'as watering a plant. "As the first shoots of the bush push up through the earth an extraordinary darkness can be noticed.

As they srow their colors become darker. The same is true of the foliage. The leai'es of the bush are almost black. The buds when they appear are black. "One of the peculiarities of the process is that after a certain number ot applications during the first year it can be stopped, and for two seasons the plant will bear black flowers.

If the feeding process is not continued, In the third year the bush will again assume its natural state. "What is true of the rose is true of all other flowers and also of cotton. By the use of my chemical secret I can pro- duce black cotton, and it will cost little or nothing as compared with black dye.
