An order for the arrest of the muir
derer Of DR.. Leopoldo Cordova has
been issued and officers expect to
take him into custody shortly at
Alexandria, La" Superintendent of
Police Mooney announced early to-
day.
superintendent Mooney stated that
the revolver which was used to kill
DR.. Cordova and dangerously wound
ed Mrs. Cordova had been found with
the Jewelry stolen from the former
Honduran consul and his wife in d
rooming house here.
There now is no doubt but that
robbery was the motive for the
crime" the superintendent an

DIR. Cordova was killed Tuesday
night and Mrs. Cordova received bull
let wounds which may prove fatal.
The theory that DR.. Cordova, con-
sui for Honduras at Mobile and New
Orleans for the Bertrand administra.
ton, was killed as the result of po-
litical activities was expressed In
many quarters yesterday, but the
police steadily maintained that rob-
berry was the sole motive.
According to statements by Mrs.
Cordova, the couple were shot by
one or two men when their auto
mobile stopped at a lonely section
of the Gentilly road, near the city
limits. The bandit, after robbing his
victims, threw the bodies in a ditch

DEMOCRATS LOSE IN
CLOTURE EFFORT on
PACT RESERVATIONS
Chair Sustained in Ruling
Hitchcock'S Petition Out of
Order-CIoture for Whole
Treaty to Be Presented

WASHINGTON. 1<ov. 1S.-An at
tempt by Democratic senator's to in
woke the cloture rule so as to limit
debate on the foreign relations COM
mittee reservations to the peace
treaty failed today in the senate.
By vote of "A to 36 with all of
the Republicans present and Senators
Reed, Missouri, and Shields, Tennes-
see, Democrats, voting in the affirm
ative, the senate adopted motion
by Republican Leader Lodge to table
an appeal from ruling that the
Democrats move was out of order.
After a long discussion as to the
probable effect of the cloture, Sem
ator Cummins, the president pro tenn,
ruled the petition out Of order. Sem
ator Hitchcock immediately appealed
from the decision, and Senator Lodge
moved to lay the appeal on the table:
The Democratic petition for cloture
had been held out of order by tho
chair because it sought to limit de-
bate only on the reservations and not
on the whole treaty. 1t was for
this reason, Senator Lodge said, that
the Republicans opposed the move.
Senator McCumber, Of North Da-
kota, prominent among the mild
reservationists," on the Republican
side, announced that in q very short
time a cloture rule covering the en-
tire treaty would be presented.
The senate voted down, eS to 4,
the proposal by Senator Walsh, DEM
oorAt, Montana, to amplify the res
ervation to article ten Of the League
Of Nations covenant SO that other
nations would be under no obliga-
ton to aid the United States in pre-
serving it's territorial integrity.
Those voting for the proposal were
| Walsh, Montana, and Pittman, Ne
vada, Democrats, and La Toilette,
Wisconsin, and Norris. Nebraska,
Republicans.
Senator France, Maryland, a bitter
ender, issue statement declaring
1T would be criminal" to adopt q
cloture rule on such an important
question as the treaty.
In order to enable many senators,
| who otherwise would be prevented be-
cause Of consideration of the peace
treaty, to attend the funeral tomor-
row Of Senator Martin, Of Virginia,
the senate, upon the motion of Sem
ator Swanson, his colleague, today
agreed to recess this AFTERNOON until
| 10 a. m. Saturday. A special train
will convey senatros to and from
! the funeral, which will be held at

IS
FAVORITE FOR
PARTY LEADER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Demo-
cratic members Of the senate will
hold a caucus within a few days to
pick a minority leader, filling the
vacancy caused by the death Of
Senator Martin, Virginia.
With the administration's hardest
congressional battles in prospect, the
position of Democratic floor leader in
the senate is now one of the most
important in Washington from q po-
litical point Of view. .
Senators Hitchcock, Nebraska; IN
derwood, Alabama, and Simmons,
North Carolina, are the three fore
most candidates.
The three-cornered contest will be
lively one, according to cloak room
gossip, as the winner will be a
strong contender in the Democratic
national convention which selects a
candidate next year.
Senator Underwood, the youngest
in point Of years and service in the
senate, is g. favorite. He has been
in the senate only since 1915, where
as Senator Hitchcock came in 1911
and Senator Simmons in 1901. But
Senator Hitchcock is a Nebraska man
and is not expected to hold the south
ern Democrats as against either Sem
ator Simmons or Senator Underwood.
Senator Simmons rs a strong south
ern Democrat who has always sup
ported the administration. He is
therefore expected to be in disfavor
with Democrats who have frequently
differed with the White House traces
and those who are from northern
states.
Senator Underwood In viewed as q
compromise between Senator Hitch
cock and Senator Simmons. Coming
from Birmingham, an industrial city,
Senator Underwood's general back
ground and ideas are moro in har-
nony with those of industrial north
than is the case with most southern
senators, his friends say. He Ii rated
as progressive within the party and
demonstrated his ability in drafting
the Underwood tariff law while he
was still a member of the house.
Senator Underwood was a strong
contender for the Democratic noml-
nation in 1912 and is frequently men
toned as a possibility for next year.
Senator Simmons held the highly
important craftsmanship of the fl
nance committee under the Demo-
cratic regime and is regarded as hav-
ing marked ability.
Senator Hitchcock has conducted
the treaty fight for the administra-
ton forces, although at times Sena-
tor Underwood has played a promi-
nent part. No matter what selection
is made, Senator Hitchcock Is ex-
pected to continue as leader in the
treaty contest.
Among those mentioned for ap-
pointment as a successor to Senator
Martin is Henry st. George Tucker,
Lexington, Va, an authority on in
ternational law and a former mem
Der of congress.
Governor Westmoreland Davis Is
expected to run at the election which
will come later.

''WETS" WIN IN
FEDERAL COURT
IN-LOUISVILLE

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 49,
Judge Walter Evans, in federal dis
trict court today, In effect for the
second time, held wartime prohibit
ton unconstitutional, sustained an at
tack upon the const1tut!onality of
the Volstead enforcement act and
granted an injunction restraining Ell
wood Hamilton, collector Of internal
revenue for Kentucky, and District
Attorney w. V. Gregory from inter
fering with the sale by two Louis
Vile distillers of their floor stock"
0f tax-paid whisky.
The suit was brought by W.
Marshall Bullitt. Louisville, on
w. Marshall BulIitt, Louisville, on
the Brown-Forman Distilling compa-
MES of this city, and Seeks to pre-
vent government interference with
sale of nearly a million gallons Of
tax-paid whisky owned by the COM
panies.
Judge Evans declared from the
bench yesterday that he was firmly
of the opinion" that wartime prohi-
bition is unconstitutional and indi-
Gated a disposition to grant an in
JulICI 1Oll RESTRAINING IilC 5ONNA AAAlACAAN
from interfering with sale Of the
whisky known as floor stock owned
by the companies.
In a similar suit recently Judge
Evans declared the war prohibition
act unconstitutional and granted an
injunction to the Kentucky Distiller-
les and Warehouse company, forbid
ding interference by the government
with sale Of approximately 69,000,000
gallons Of whisky owned by the
plaintiff. This case was appealed to
the United States supreme court and,
according to announcement, a hear
ing will be had on 1t some time next
week, probably November 20.
Granting of the injunction permits
sale of tax-paid whisky by the two
companies. However, according to an
nouncement by District Attorney
Gregory, if the supreme court re-
verses Judge Evans decision on the
suit, appealed to 1t by the govern
ment, then, in my opinion all per-
sons who sell distilled spirits be-
tween now and the time Of rendition
Of the opinion by the supreme court
would be liable to prosecution"

FARMERS WIFE
FOUND IN WELL
WITH THROATCUT

AMERICUS, Ca, Nov. 1S.-With
her throat cut from ear to ear the
body of Mrs. Pearl Duckworth, wife
of Sam Duckworth, well-known farm
er Of Pleasant Grove community, sew
en- miles southeast of here, was found
in a we'll near her home late last
night. Neighbors who had been asked
to search for the woman by Mrs.
SalIie Duckworth, her mother-in-law,
recovered the body, the we'll being
searched at the suggestion of Mrs.
Duckworth. Sam DuckWorth, her
husband, has disappeared and Sheriff
Harvey, Deputy Summers and a
party of citizens of Leslie commun-
ity are searching for him today. Mrs.
Sallie Duckworth, who guided the
searching party to the corpse in the
we'll, was brought to Americas at
daylight this morning and is being
held in Sumter county jail as a
material witness in the case.
The case mas mysterious aspects,
as it is known Mrs. Sallie DuckWorth
had been searching for her daughter
in-law during several days and that
yesterday she secured the neighbor-
hood in company with a negro woman
and when the two passed the well
said, "Pearl may be found in the
well. If she is, her throat is cut"
Later, she asked a white neighbor
to help her hunt for the missing
woman, and again referred to the
well, saying If she were found there
her throat would be cut. This neigh
Dor finally informed Sheriff Har-
vey, who went out to Pleasant Grove
about midnight and soon found the
body in the we'll. He Immediately
arrested Mrs. Sallie Duckworth and
sent her to Americas. Later, search
ing about the premises, he located
and destroyed g. still which had re-
Gently been operated by some I'M
known person, and 1t Is believed this
still probably has some connection
with the death OF the woman.
The Duckworths have lived in
Pleasant Grove community during
many years, and the finding Of the
woman'S body in the well has created
a sensation here. Sam Duckworth,
who is being sought for diligently
by the authorities, is well-known in
Americas and throughout the county,
and has heretofore been regarded as
a respectable and reliable farmer.

Despite action of their leaders in
calling off the nationwide strike OF
coal miners, few workers were re-
turning to the mines today, dis
patches indicated
Only two districts-Tennes and
olorado-reported miners returning
in appreciable numbers.
The big fields Of Illinois, Kansas
and Iowa apparently still were idle,
with the men refusing to go back.
Dispatches from Des Moines SAID
operators admitted no mines had re-
opened since the strike was called
Springfield reported there was moth
ing to indicate tho Illinois miners
intended to obey the order calling
off the strike. In Kansas \ dispatch
from Pittsburg in tho heart of the.
coal fields, said miners were swat
ing reports from Alexander Howatt,
district president, in Indianapolis.
Approximately 1900 men return
ed to work in the Tennessee and
Kentucky fields, however, according
to dispatches from Knoxville, Tenn
Denver reported largo numbers OF
miners were returning in Colorado
fields.
In indianapolis, headquarters Of
the United Mine WgFkers awaited
outcome of the conference called for
Friday in Washington to mediate the
differences between miners and OPP
orators. Henry G. Warrun, CHER
CO sci for the miners, announced
he would not file an appeal from.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov 10
Representatives of the United Mine
Workers of America who will partici-
pate in Washington tomorrow witt
the operators and Secretary of L@
Dor Wilson, today are on their way
to the capital in an optimistic frame
Of mind. They believe that If the
mine owners are equally well dis
posed q new wage agreement can
be reached in short time.
The one possible obstruction to
speedy agreement is the question OF
when a new wage agreement will
become effective. The miners will
insist that this be at an early date.
Pending developments at the Wash
ington conference attorneys for the
miners announced here last night the
appeal from the ruling of the fedora
court in the injunction proceedings
instituted by the government, viii
be held up.
The situation In the Indiana coal
fields was little different today from
that during the strike. In all parts
Of the coal district the miners ap-
oarently were awaiting the results OF
the Washington conference beforA
deciding to return to the mines.

proved by him, word came from
union officials IN the coal fields OF
Alabama, Tennesse Kentucky, Tex
as, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Washington that the men would
be back at work this week. 1t was
the general opinion also that miners
in other sections Of the country,
while somewhat disappointed at the
recall Of the strike order, soon would
take up where they left off nearly a
month ago.

the strike to q conclusion, declared
that he must admit he was pleased"
