pact by which Guatemala entered
the recently created Central Ameri-
can Federation. Adoption of the pact,
liberal leaders claimed, was uncon-
stitutional, as there was not present a
quorum when the Guatemalan kgis-
lature ratified the treaty.
In the same circles persons were
of the opinion that the first i'm
mediate. effect of the revolution
would be the disruption of the pres
ent federation and the freeing from
prison of Estrada Cabrera. former
effort would be made to restore
Cabrera to power. Prediction was
made that a federation of Central
American states would be formed
with Guatemala as a member, but not
under the conditions in which the
recent three-nation pact was entered.
Liberals Are uniformed.

 Rothman came before Magistrate William A. Sweetser on a charge of petty larceny. The complainants were Miss Pearl Grefinger and her sister Martha. So the story of the sisters went. they encountered Rothman at Second avenue and Second street and proceeded to pitch into" him His face bore the marks.
 The trouble began back in July Early In that month, said Miss Pearl Grefinger. Rothman gave her a worth less check for $2O and another for $40, after he had told her that he was millionaire underwear manufactur- CT, temporarily short of funds
 Miss Grefinger had got that far when Miss Elizabeth Rogers. who said that she was an actress. living in the Hotel Braddock, entered the proceedings. She identified Rothman as a million. aire casket and furniture manufactur- CT of Detroit" who she alleged had given her two bad checks. one for $32 and the second for s85. on August 20.
 Miss Grefinger. continuing her story to the magistrate, said that she met Rothman in a hotel in Long Branch on July '. where she was spending her vacation.
 He told me. all in one breath, where I lived and where he had met me five years ago" she explained later to reporters, and naturally when he mentioned my home address and talked of my folks as though he knew everybody well, and of places l had visited, 1 really believed we had met somewhere before. It was after l left Long Branch that l went home. Who should be sitting in the front room but MT Rothman. He had his , coat off. was smoking one of my | brothers cigars. and seemed very much at home"
 A couple of days later she added, ! the banks were closed" and Roth mans two checks on the Fallkill Ma tional Bank of Poughkeepsie were turned into money.
 Miss Rogers said that she met Roth man in the Hotel Cumberland. He walked right up to her with I cordial hand Outstretched and told her her nan q and everything, she said.

I ss 1 Rogei ., who is in the movies, saii that Rothman mentioned having seen her in the pictures, and told how h. had remembered her face and what she had done in vprtrus films.
 Rothman lis ened to the stories and assured the court that "everythi' F will come out nice'y." His attorney re , questcI low bal, because the chlcge was of small degree and his client in. tended to maI,, restitution. This was opposed by Assistant District Attor ney Chapman. who told Magistrate Swwetser that Rothman had admitted to the police that he had collected more than S25,OOO by posing as a mil lionaire among girls and merchants
 "I cant fix low bail in this ease" remarked the magistrate. "The facts presented here cause me to hold the defendant in S10.OOO bail"
