LATIN NATIONS ON
THE VERGE OF WAR
PANAMA REPORTED TO BE READY
TO BEGIN POSSIBILITIES
AGAINST COSTA RIGA.
President Porros Declares the Entire
Country Behind Him in Defense
of Republic, Which He Says
Is Being invaded

Panama-Hostilities between Pan
anna and Costa Rlca show possibilities
of developing into a conflict involving
all of central America and Colombia.
Leading Colombians residing in Pan
anna have sent IA wireless message TO
Bogota asking the Colombian govern
ment to furnish them with arms for
the purpose of enlisting against Costa
Rica.
1t was learned officially Saturday
that. President Belisario Porras has
signed a proclamation declaring war
against Costa Rica, but is holding ii
temporarily in allegiance. The presi-
dent, assured that the entire country
is behind him, contemplates taking
over dictatorial powers for the defense
of the republic, relying upon the ma
tional assembly to confirm his ac-
ton.
The presidential decree declared that
the country has been invaded and re-
cites the necessity of expelling the
! invaders. 1t suspends individual
rights, calls upon all Panamans be
| tween IS and 40 years of age to reg
| lister for military service and con
vokes the assembly for a special ten
| day session beginning March 1.
! While nothing has been learned re
| garding the status of hostilities in thu
| Coto district, where Costa Rican force,
occupied territory held by Panaman
it was learned authenticity that hur
riedly gathered unorganized force
were being sent from Panama towar'
Bocas del Toro.
Lack of arms and munitions to equi
government forces being organize,
still is proving a difficulty. The be
lief is strongly held in official circle
that the United States government
in duty bound to furnish the Panama
forces with arms, since the countr
disarmed after completion of the Par
anna canal treaty.
The dual nature of the obligation
of both republics under the treaty
advanced as an additional argumen
! especially in view of the belief tht
Costa RIGA is counting upon the SUI
port of the recently formed union (
Central American republics.

JAPAN WILL INSIST
UPON MANDATORY
DEMANDS CONTROL OF THE
ISLAND OF zap DESPITE
PROTEST OF v. s.
Holds That the Mandatory Means
Control Of the Cables on the
Same Status as Germany
Prior to the War.

Toklo.-Japan will insist upon its

cording TO authoritative Japanese
opinion. The protest of the United
States to the league of nations council
has aroused interest In japan as n new
move on the matter which has been
lengthily discussed by Japan and the
United States.
1t is explained japan bases her
mandatory on the final decision Of
the supreme council in May. 1919,
which handed over the German is
lands north of the equator to Japan
without reservation. If President Will
son made oral reservations regarding
zap at previous deliberations it is de-
clared Japan was not represented and
has no official cognizance
Japan will hold that tn, mandatory
means control of the cables on the
same status as Germany prior to the
war. During the war Japan diverted
the zap end of the cable from Shang-
hal to the Loo-Choa islands, between
Japan and Formosa, for administra,
tive purposes. Therefore, cable com
munication from America to Shanghai
by way of Gaum and zap does not
exist.
1t is understood Japan has suggest
ed to the United States to lay cable
to Shanghai from Gaum as substitute
for the Van rOutp
The Nichi Nichi declares that tht
United States Is in no position to In

DECISION AGAINST
LEVER FOOD LAW
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
SECTION OF LEVER ACT is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Opinion Rendered in Appeal From
Decision Of Lower Court in ouash-
ING Indictment Against Alleged
Profiteer in Sugar.

Washington.-The supreme court on
February "a held unconstitutional the
sections Of the Lever act under which
the government stopped the coal strike
of 1919, and subsequently launched It's
campaign to reduce the cost of living
by prosecuting alleged hoarders and of
profiteers in foodstuffs and other
necessities.
The courts opinion was rendered in
an appeal by the government from
decree In lower courts quashing an
indictment against an alleged profiteer
I'm sugar, but ii was sweeping In its
terms and will have the effect of end
ing all prosecutions instituted by the
department of justice in its cost OF
living campaign.
The action of the government In OBJ
tanning injunctions to stop the strike
of miners in November, 1919, was not
before the court, but department of
justice officials said 1t was under sec
ton A, which was held invalid, that
the government had proceeded.
The opinion was based largely on
the Indebtedness of thhe sections un-
der review. Chief Justice White, de-
parting from his prepared opinion, re-
marked that the scope Of the sections
apparently was 'as broad as human
imagination" and that the "degree Of
criminality was left to ever-changing
standards"
Associate Justices Brandeis and Pit
ney dissented as to the reasoning by
which the courts decision was reached,
but cOncurred in the result.
The chief justice said In his writ
ten opinion that the sections under
discussion did not constitute a fixing
by congress Of an ascertainable stand
ard Of guilt" and We're not adequate
to inform persons accused Of violations
thereof of the nature and cause of the
accusation against them"
The latitude of possible interpreta'
ton was clearly evidenced, he said, by
the various cases brought before the
court. These cases, numbering ten
ranged from specific convictions to
denial of injunctiOns sought by retail
ers to restrain government agents from
proceeding against them. In some case'
the government appealed from adverse
decisions of lower courts, quashing In
dictments, and In others 1t defended
decisions in Its favor.
The decision will result In the dis
missal Of profiteering charges brough
against seventeen prominent Utahn
in fourteen indictments found in Utah
Idaho, North Dakota and Montana
Mst Of the indictments grew out Of al
legged profiteering by the Utah-Idah
Sugar company, eight Of the director
Of which are named in the findings Q
the grand juries of the four states.
