FOUR WARSH|PS ARE
HURR|EDLY ORDERED

RumOrS of RebelliOns Place
American Interests
There i'm Grave
Danger

washington, February Storm clouds
over Central America, with the signal
exception of Costa Rica. caused the uni-
ted States today to order four ships
there.
Reports upon which this government
took action come from many quarters
and though in most cases they are some-
what vague and speculative. they are
strongly of the same general tenor-that
IT was no longer thought wise to permit
American interests In Central America
to remain exposed to any dangers.
In Salvador where for a long period
peace has prevailed the attempted as
| sassination last Tuehday of President
Araujo by band of conspirators, is be-
lieved here to threaten trouble, although
the President today sent assurances 70
his minister that the country was quiet
Rumors of Rebellion
From time to time have come rumors
of rebellious movements in Honduras and
unrest in Guatemala. while in New Or
leans there are gathering soldiers of for
tune and adherents of the Zelaya, the
deposed dictator, credited with sinister
designs on the government OF President
Diaz of Nicaragua.
To meet the situation so far as it is
possible at this time. the navy department
has ordered the gunboat Annapolis now
at San Diego. Cal, to proceed immedi-
atey to Amalpa, Honduras The cruiser
Denver will proceed from Acapulco, Mex
leo. to Acajutal, Salvador and the gun
boat Des Moines. after finishing target
practice will be ordered from Santo
Domingo, to Bluefields, Nicaragua. To
further protect the Atlantic coast, the
gunboat Nashville at New Orleans has
been ordered to Puerto Cortez, Honduras,
or Puerto Barrios, Guatemala.
The ships could serve as refuge for
American citizens, and If it were neces-
sary to land any considerable force OF
| bluejackets or marines the larger vessels
Of Rear Admiral Southerland's fleet ON
the west coast or some of Rear Admiral
Badgers battleships in Cuban waters,
would be called upon.

Is "A GANG Fight
Mexico City, Feb. 15.-Madero
has not resigned. The Mexican
congress will meet this afternoon,
but his resignation will not be
placed before it.
These facts became certain to-
day when the battle between the
federals and rebels was renewed,
Madero declaring he would die
before resigning Madero's men
made a desperate fight against
the Diaz forces, but weer repuls-
ed by a whitening machine gun
fire.
Many of Madero's men are
dissatisfied. They would desert
to Diaz if they were sure Of reach
ing the arsenal without being
shot
Fighting stopped this morning
for the customary breakfast
hour. This is an innovation in
modern warfare invented by the
two armies. 1t is recognized by
both that they shall cease firing
at a certain hour each morning,
resunling when they have eaten.
The palace, where Madero is
fortified, has suffered much dam
age from the Diaz fire. Madero
realizes that he must decisively
defeat Diaz or flee the city.
AS a revolution, the Diaz
movement is proving a fzzle.
Citizens of the city are not inter
ested in the victory of either side,
except as it will bring peace.
They are tired of the fighting.

GRAND JURY INDICTS
BARRETT BROTHERS

BARRETT BROTHERS
Edward and Henry Barrett
were indicted by the grand jury
yesterday-EdWard for the muir
der of Walter Masterton; Henry
as an accessory before the fact to
that murder.
Last Tuesday, States Attorney
Maclay Hoyne, who, after The
Day Book exposure Of the facts in
the Barrett case, promised to
have the brothers indicted imme-
diately and rushed to trial, had all
the witnesses in. the case brought
to his office, and had them swear
out afidayits on the murder.
Yesterday he presented those
afidavits to the grand jury, and
asked for indictments. The
grand jury returned the indict-
mentS without hesitation.
The case was the quickest pre-
sentation of a murder case to the
grand jury on record.
After the indictments were re
turned, Hoyne left a message for
The Day Book. It was:
II have kept my word"
Hoyne said last week that he
would try and have the Barretts
put on trial for the Witt murder
within two weeks. The capture
of Teddy Webb and the work it
involves for the states attorneys
office probably will delay this.

Soon after the Chicago FederatiO
endum vote, the Hearst managers b.
O'DOnnel of the Building Trades
Council and began running an alleged
labor column, which was devoted eX-
clusively to news about O'DOnnelPs
council. Next came the deal between
Hearst and O'Donnell, which has
caused all the trouble.
It was taken to be a move by the
Hearst forces to defeat organized
labor in Chicago with the Building
Trades Council, and to divide up the
forces of UniOnism by arraying one
big organization against another.
Some believed it was an Underhand
attack on the Chicago Federation of
Labor itself, and a vital part of the
fight to establish the open shop in all
industries in Chicago.
This is what started the present
agitation, and the whole thing will be
brought out at tomorrow's meeting
Of the c. F. of L.
Fred Hopp, recording secretary of
the Chicago Trades Union Label
League, has sent a protest to the
Building Trades Council denouncing
the Hearst papers as scab sheets, and
many other communications of pro-
test have been sent to that body,
some of them being from information
al officers.
1t is expected that there will be
very large attendance at tOmorrow's
meeting Of the C. F. of L., and that
Hearst's attitude toward organized
labor, and Simon O'DonneI's alliance
with Hearst, will be the chief topic
for discussion.
Very likely the painters and car
penters, with $4,000 members in Chi
cago, and two of the most important
unions in the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, will have their representatives on
hand to lead the fight for strong reso-
lutiOns of protest and denunciatiOn.

tary of the International Brotherhood
of Blacksmiths and Helpers, said to-
day that he had sent to President
Simon O'Donnel of the Chicago
Building Trades Council and to the
Chicago Federation of Labor, pro-
tests against the action of the Build
ing Trades Council in making a deal
with Hearst to get out trades union
edition of the Examiner.
The protests were sent in the name
of the international. The locals of this
international meet tonight, and are
expected to take action.
"O'DOnnell is trying with the
Building Trades Council to lift a boy
colt on the Hearst papers that he had
no hand in helping to put on" said
Mr. Kramer. ct was the Chicago
Federation of Labor, with no help
from O'Donnell, that put the Hearst
papers on the unfair list"
The following letter to The Day
Book from K. G. TOrkelsOn, record
ing secretary OF Local NO. lSl OF the
Carpenters and Joiners of America,
expresses the feeling of 1923 men,
bers of this local toward the labor

Influence" Used Upon Deposed
Members of Usage Tribe to
Secure Leases.

Washington, Jan. 20-The fight be-
tween the interior department and
the Uncle Sam Oil company and mem
bers Of the tribal council Of the

lands in Oklahoma were not approved
by Secretary Fisher, and representa-
tives of the deposed tribesmen pre-
sented before the Indian affairs com
mittee Of the house charges against
Secretary Fisher and other govern
ment officials
Fisher Cited in Court.
Some of the deposed members of
the Usage council also obtained from
the district court a mandamus against
Secretary Fisher, to compel him to
show cause tomorrow why they
should not be reinstated
The basis of the charges against the
secretary of the interior is that he
aided the Standard Oil company's in
terests by refusing to approve the
Uncle Sam leases A bill is now be-
fore congress to validate them
Counter Charges Made.
In a counter statement, filed with
the committee, Secretary Fisher de-
clared that the actions of the officials
of the Uncle Sam Oil company and
the council of the Usage tribe in
negotiating the leases were such that
they had been referred for investiga-
ton to the department of justice, and
because of the fact he could not dis
cuss them publicly.
The department of justice, through
Assistant Attorney General Knaebel,
transmitted to the United States dis
trict attorney at Guthrie, Okla, the
reports and documents from Secre-
tary Fisher alleging that undue in
duence" had been used upon the de-
posed members Of the Usage tribe in
the negotiations of the leases. If the
investigation by the district attor-
ney warrants such action the case
will be laid before the grand jury in
Oklahoma.

Indian affairs committee, attacked
the attitude of the interior depart
ment, the courts and the post office

discussion Of the pitfalls which had
beset the path of the Uncle Sam Oil
company. Among those criticised for

souri,, Samuel Adams, assistant sec
rotary Of the interior; r. P. Goodwin,
