COSTA RICA IS
NOT HEALTHY
FOR TINOCOS
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Aug. 30
(by mail).—Assassination of Joaquin
Tinoco, late minister of war and
brother of former President Frederieo'
Tinoco, on August 9 last, is still an
unsolved mystery with indications
that the slayer may never be brought
to answer for his crime. The fort
night which has elapsed since the
tragedy has brought out a number of
interesting facts in connection with it
which never before have been told.
Joaquin was 39 years old, one of
the handsomest men in Costa Rica, a
quick shooter and courageous as a
lion. He was tall and of athletic
build, fond of horses, and a member
of one of the most distinguished fam
ilies. He rarely went unarmed and
had fought a number of duels. The
widow of one of his adversaries, a
lawyer he killed in a revolver fight,
a few years ago, sought to avenge her
husband and fired five shots at close
range at Tinoco but the latter sur
vived his wounds.
When on January 27, 1917, his
brother Frederico, who was minister
of war in the cabinet of President Al
fredo Gonzales, deposed the latter
and became head of the government,
Joaquin was given the war portfolio
and thereupon, it is said, became the
real president of Costa Rica. For
two years previously Joaquin had
been fighting revolutionists and per
sonal enemies and when he became
minister of war he became still more
energetic and aggressive. It has
been said that Joaquin on the day of
his death had more enemies than a
popular motion picture actress in the
United States had admirers.
On the day before the assassination
Joaquin went before the Costa Rican
congress and asked to be relieved as
vice president, a position he held by
virtue of his cabinet post. At the
same time his brother, the president,
ask^pd official permission to leave the
country because of “ill-health.”
Both requests were granted and
the two Tinocos were preparing to
depart when Joaquin was. shot down.
A few months before he met his
death Joaquin began to take a strange
interest in spiritualism. Frequently
he went to a small village called
Guadelupe where he consulted a
woman medium, and after his last
visit seemed disturbed by what she
had told him. That same afternoon
he returned home and telephoned for
his car but it was out of order and
he decided to go for a walk. A block
from his residence a man stepped out
from behind a tree and fired at Ti
noco point blank. The shot pierced
his eye, causing almost instant death.
Notwithstanding the suddenness of
the attack, in the fraction of the sec
ond he remained alive, Joaquin had
drawn his own revolver. The weap
on was found in his clenched hand,
every cartridge chamber full.
On the day after the tragedy Joa
quin was buried with military honors
and 48 hours later the remaining
members of the Tinoco family, in
cluding the former president, left here
for Port Limon in special trains where
they sailed for Kingston, Jamaica,
and thence intend to go to England.
The new president, General Juan
Bautista Quiros, formerly manager
of the Banco International de Costa
Rica, a government institution, and
generally regarded as a conservative
Costa Rican, is pledged to “restore
order ofter two years of tyranny, and
the leakage of public funds and, after,
a few months of reconstruction, bring
about free elections.”
DALMATIANS FAVOR
AMERICAN GOODS
SPALATO, Dalmatia, Aug. 18 (by
mail).—E. E. Little, special envoy of
the United States government, in a
report just completed on business
conditions in Dalmatia, says the peo
ple Ifave a keen interest in American
goods. “It is enough for them to see
the mark ‘made in the United States’
and they are sufficiently guaranteed,”
he says. “They have a profound ad
miration for America and American
methods.”
