Kirshbaum, a highly respected resi
dent of Ottumwa, passed ayay at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred H.
Hall, 113 Lincoln avenue, last evening
at 9:55 o'clock. The death of Mrs.

to her
many
friends. She was walk­
ing about the house yesterday and
was in good spirits, but was taken III
during the early evening and a few
minutes before the clock tolled the

Her maiden name was Irane Crook.
For many years Mrs. .Kirshbaum
and her husband, Joel Kirshbaum,
made their home in Burlington, where
Mr. Kirshbaum was engaged in busi
ness. In 1903 they moved to Ottum

OLIVEI MINED
ENDS HIS LIFE
JOE LITTLE BLOWS OFF TOP OF
HEAD WITH SHOT GUN
WHILE DESPONDENT.
Oskaloosa, Dec. 27.—Joe Little, aged
24, a mine worker living at Olivet, a
mining station near here, committed
suicide yesterdays afternoon by blow
ing off the top of his head with a
shotgun. Despondency over his con
nection with the woman is said to have
been the cause of the deed.
He left Oskaloosa yesterday after
noon about 3 o'clock to go hunting,
having rented a shotgun and borrowed
some shells from a friend. When out
near the old fair grounds, he killed
himself by taking the gun in one hand
and pulling the trigger with the other,
the entire charge striking the top of
his head, killing him instantly.
The young man left a letter for hi3
father, Silas Little of Olivet, stating
that he was going to kill himself, as
he could "not face his friends whom
he had disgraced." In the same let
ter, he also warned his friends that
"when they came to town to have a
good time to remember him and when
they thought they were having a good
time they were only sinking deeper in

ZELAYA IS
needy
circum­
stances. Her dying wish was fulfilled
and death was not unwelcome by the
patient and thoughtful young woman.
Miss Brawley was a native of Ot
tumwa, and was in her sixteenth year.
She was a member of the class of 1911
of the Ottumwa high school, and was a
favorite with her many fellow stud
ents. Aside from her parents she
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Ada Brawley
Hunt and Miss Bessie Brawley, to
mourn her loss.
OFF
COAST OF MEXICO.
(Continued From Page 1.)
laya expressed the fear that Madriz
would be unable to cope with the situ
ation, as he is not a military man. He
said the army of the government had
been reduced to skeletons by priva
tions due to the failure of the new ad
ministration to forward rations, and
he was glad the army had surrender
ed, as a great loss of life was thus
avoided.
No Opposition From
U.
The news of Estrada's overwhelm
ing victory at Rama has now reached
the ears of everybody, and also the
report that the revolutionary forces
will soon b6 marching in that direc
tion. But Estrada is yet a long dis
tance off, and the hope is held that be
fore his men reach the capital a set
tlement satisfactory to all sides will
be arranged.
New Minister General.
Francisco Baca has been appointed
minister general in place of Irias, who
resigned. Irias has withdrawn from
public notice, as he became very un
popular when the demonstrations
against Zelaya were at their height.
A dispatch from Rivas says the man
who shouted "Viva Madriz" was
stabbed to death by three soldiers.
Nothing In the Treasury.
Numerous caricatures of Zelaya,
one representing him as being flogged,
have been circulated.
Madriz admits he found nothing in
the treasury. There is a general un
willingness to accept as legal tender
Zelaya's last issue of paper money,
for fear the new administration will
declare it worthless. A new war tax is
inevitable.
An army of 3,000 is being prepared
for the purpose of advancing to Aco
yapa, which is on the railroad from
Rama to Lake Managua and at about
an equal distance from Managua and
Rama. General Toledo, who was ap
pointed acting war minister by Ma
driz, protests he is eager to make
terms with the revolutionists, but is
unwilling to surrender unconditional
ly.
He says the revolutionists had prom
ised to lay down their arms immedi
ately when Zelaya was unseated, and
argues that unless they keep their
promise they will lose -the sympathy,
not only of the people of Nicaragua,
but also of the people of the United
States and elsewhere.
Zelaya a Private Citizen.
Mexico Glty, Dec. 27.—Jose Santos
Zelaya, as a private citizen, asked and
was granted an asylum aboard the
Mexican gunboat, Gen Guerreo, ac
cording to the officials of the depart
ment of foreign relations here last
night. The knowledge of hlr. ultimate
destination or of his plans for the im
mediate future was denied.
Both the secretary and sub-secre
tary of foreign affairs declared that
no conflict with the state department
at Washington was anticipated as a
result of having permitted Zelaya to
go aboard the Mexican warship. No
official opposition to such a proceed
ing, they asserted, had been made to
the government, and in the absence of
any objection the act was such as any
nation would have performed under
like circumstances.
"Zelaya took advantage of the pres
ence of the Guerreo in Nlcaraguan
waterB, asking this government
through our minister at Managua for
an asylum aboard the Guerrero and we
granted it," said Secretary Mariscat.
"Zelaya is a private citizen now and
had a perfect right to make the re
quest. At what port he expects to land
or where he intends to go we do not
know. According to our advices Unit
ed States vessels which were there
could have opposed his embarkation,
but made no effort to do oo. The Unit
ed States government, which is a pru
dent government, cannot object to our
-u*,,7 v.
S. Ships.
At 2:30 in the afternoon Zelaya was
taken off on a launch and put aboard
the Mexican warship without the
slightest opposition from the Ameri
can ships, and no protest of any kind.
Until the Guerrero steamed away, Ze
laya was apprehensive that the United
States would oppose his departure.
There was only a feeble demonstra
tion and the leave-taking of Zelaya
was unimpressive. No speeches were
made, but a band played a few airs in
a hall nearby. American officers ashore
spent most of the time making snap
shots at what appeared a very peace
ful scene.
Says He Loves Managua.
Managuans in general were greatly
relieved when they learned that Ze
laya was gone and President Madriz
has already begun the promised work
of reform. The reports that Madriz in
tends to resign the presidency are un
founded. He announces he accepted
the office after mature consideration
of the opportunity to bring about har
mony and peace in Nicaragua, also of
the dangers attending his acceptance.
He was willing to face the dangers, he
says, in order to save the country.'

Gunboat Not There on Purpose.
Mariscat reiterated his disclaimer of
any intention to take Zelaya aboard
when the Guerrero went to Corinto,
and said it was "only within a day or
two that he asked to be allowed to
board the vessel."
As to Zelaya's destination, both the
officials claimed ignorance.
"He may wish to land at Salina Cruz
and simply pass across the isthmus
to take a steamer for a foreign port,"
said Sub-secretary Gaimboa, "or he
may choose to land at Acapulo or
Manzanillo, or any other Pacific coast
port, and catch a steamer for Japan.
On .the other hand he may come to
this city, which he has the same right
to do as to any other city of any na
tion."
Knox's Position Untenable.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.—News
of the flight of Zelaya from Corinto
was received in social circles with
varying emotions. While the state de
partment undoubtedly would have ap
preciated the capture of Zelaya and
his arraignment on the charge bf
murdering Groce and Cannon, there is
in other quarters a distinct sense of
relief in the passing of the Nicara
guan dictator from the scene. Had
this government been determined to
stand by the demands made in Secre
tary Knox's note to Rodiguez, charge
of th» Nicaraeuaii legation, it is ac­
in all de-
knowledged the escape of Zelayi
could readily have been prevented.
That no efforts were made to bkc
Zelaya's flight is accepted as an Indi
cation that the original .position ol
Secretary of State Knox is not alto
gether tenable. The right of asylum,
under international laws, Is one of
th most rigorously guarded stipula
tions of such law, and Zelaya In de
manding such right from the command
er of the Mexican gunboat Guerrero,
registered the request that could not
well be refused. In failure of Ameri
can authorities to file any prates
against the acceptance of Zelaya'
person, the Mexican commander 1
no alternative but to aid him in leav
ing Nicaragua.
.A Precedent Established.'
The precedent was the establish
ment in the case of Nord Alexis, for
mer president of Hayti, when he
sought refuge on a French cruiser. He
was wanted by the succeeding govern
ment on a number of counts, but the
French minister escorted the deposed
ruler to the wharf, where he was let
by a launch from the warship and tak
en aboard. No protest was ever made
and the incident was regarded as com
ing well within the scope of law
of nations.
