q. S. Legation Attache Said to Be
Trying to Send News.

By the Associated Press.
SAN SALVADOR, April 25.-Several
American marines have been killed in
Honduras, according to advices re-
ceived here.
An attache of the American lega-
ton in Tegucigalpa is said to have
proceeded to La Libertad, Salvador, a
cable station, in order to communi-
cate with the government in Wash
ington.
A dispatch from Amapala says ad-
ditional reinforcements for the pro-
visional government forces, who are
besieged in Tegucigalpa, have man
aged to slip through the revolution
ary lines and enter the capital.
other dispatches are to the effect
that none of the political parties in
Honduras cares to shoulder the re-
sponsibilfty of intervening with Sum-
ner welles, representing the Ameri-
can government, in an endeavor to
bring about peace between the dis
cordant factions.
American marines were landed some
time ago at Ceiba and several other
places to protect American interests.
Later the marines were withdrawn
and bluejackets substituted. Recent
ly the rebels in Honduras have been
besieging Tegucigalpa and on We'd
nesday dispatches from San Salvador
reported that rebel troops had drop
ped bombs on the capital.

COOLIDGE WEIGHING
STAND ON ALIEN BAN
Senator Colt Tells President Elk.
clusion of japanese Is Illogical
and Harmful.
CoNFEREEs FINISHING WORK
Revision by Them or Veto Held
Only Chance for Change.

AS the Senate and House conferees
met today to give the final touches to
the new immigration bill, President
Coolidge was receiving an eleventh
hour resume OF the situation as view
ed by members of Congress opposed
to Japanese exclusion.
Senator Colt, Republican, Rhode
Island, chairman of the Senate immi-
grafton committee. and one OF the six
who .oted against the pending meas
ure to the last, laid before the Presi-
dent his reasons for viewing the jap
anese provisions as illogical. unneces-
sary and harmful to American inter-
ests at large.
CooIidge's Stand Not Revealed.
While President Coolidge did not
indicate his position to callers, the
White House, the State Department
and Capitol Hill were agreed that
only two possible avenues for alter
ing the Japanese bill section now
exists-an almost unprecedented ac-
tioa by the confereeS in the shape Of
a joint recommendation for modifi-
cation and the veto.
The oyerwh Ginning votes in the
dliu Stidt6 upoii tiiS IL
provision and the continued senti-
ment aroused by the note of the
Japanese embassy were regarded as
obyiating what small chance there
was of ameliatory action by the con-
ferees.
Senate Views Presented.
President Coolidge was told today
that new Senate views of the bill as
written were based in part on the
indicated willingness Of Japan to
concede the right of the United
States to carry restriction to any
point, and to cooperate even If re-
atriction was carried to the point of
absolute exclusion. In that situa-
ton, it was argued, the drastic
language of the bill might be taken
abroad as an unnecessary affront
Secretary Hughes has conveyed
somewhat the same views to the
President and Is said to have indi-
Gated his objection to other features
of the bill.

D. c. Heads Fight
Bill to Require
Permit to Park

The Commissioners today asked
Congress not to enact the proposed
bill to require a motorist to obtain
the permission of the occupant of
a building before parking his au-
tomobile in front of it.
The city heads stated that the
measure would not be practicable
to enforce, especially in view of
the limited personnel of the police
department. They also raised the
question OF the extent to which an
occupant may control the use of
the street in, front of his prem
ises. The Commissioners admit
inconvenient results to persons
finding the automobile of some one
else parked in front of their
places, but they do not regard the
pending bill as a practical solu-
tion.

Unofficial Story of Sayings in
Tegucigalpa Discredited
Here.
IGNORED IN DISPATCHES
Departments Sure Report of Cas-
ualties Erroneous.

Overnight advices of the State and
Navy departments contained no word
of casualties among the American
naval forces at Tegucigalpa, capital
of Honduras, reported yesterday in
unofficial messages from San Sal
vador
Officials were inclined to accept the
lack of any official report as a hope
full sign. They pointed out that in
view of the disturbed conditions in
Honduras, it would not be unusual if
exaggerated versions of the situation
had trickled across the border into
Salvador.
Founded on Rumors.
Officials were inclined to feel that
the lack of any word from the Hon
duran capital direct on the subject
tended to confirm their opinion that
the reports from Salvador were
founded only on rumors which had
trickled across the border into that
country and probably represented
gross exaggerations of the disturb
anceS that have occurred recently in
Tegucigalpa.
u :. Proposes Peace Farley.
The United States has invited the
rarticipa ton of Costa Rica- San Sal
vador, Nicaragua and Guatemala IN
peace conference to be held at
Amapala, Honduras.
The invitations were issued under
date of April 23 No replies as yet
have been received.
A preliminary meeting of the con-
ference will attempt to arrange with
the warning factions in Honduras an
srmistice to continue throughout the
time the peace commissioners are in
session
The plans for the peace conference
Will go forward regardless of the re-
ports that American lives have been
lost In renewed outbreaks in Hon.
duras. State Department opinion that
these reports are erroneous was
that message from Minister Morales
in Tegucigalpa, dated April "a, made
no mention of any trouble between
Honduran forces and members of the
American naval detachment. The
message proved that communication
with Tegucigalpa still was open yes
terday.
Welles to Represent U. s.
Sumner Welles, acting as personal
representative in Honduras of Pres
ident Coolidge, will represent this
at Amapala. The Honduran ministry
and revolutionary leaders already
have designated two delegates, and
it is assumed that the four other
Central American republic will imms-

ULSTER STAND CAUSE
OF CONFERENCE BREAK
Refuses to Name Delegate to Com

Avert Trouble.
BY The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 25.-The situation
brougha about by the breakdown of
the Irish boundary conference at the
colonial Office last night is described
generally as the gravest Irish crisis
since the Anglo-Irish treaty was
signed in 1921. Despite alarmist re-
ports and rumors, however, govern
ment observers believe there is no
likelihood of another Irish war in the
hear future.
Both the northern and southern
irish delegations are remaining in
London awaiting a new step by the
British government. which, according
10 the treaty, should be the esta blish-
inent of d boundary commission, de-
spite the refusal of Ulster to name
It's member of such body. Such
action it is considered certain would
further estrange Ulster, and in order
TO avoid this Premier Macdonald may
resort to an all-Irish conference, hop
ing the Ulster and Free State gov
ernmentS can fix the boundary line
without interference from the British
government.
1t is generally taken for granted that
the British government wishes to act
in the matter by appointing commits
sion to delimit the boundary between
northern and southern Ireland. and it
is believed the Free State government
will, if necessary. press this.
The question. however, arises
whether, since Ulster has refused to
appoint a representative to the COM
mission, that body could legally OPP
crate with only two members in
stead of the three provided for by the
Anglo-Irish treaty.
1t is stated in some quarters that
the British governments legal ad
7isers have declared the commission
cannot proceed without Ulster rep
reSentation and, consequently, that
special legislation will be necessary
70 provide a substitute for the miss
ing delegate.
See Storm of COntrovcrSy.
According to the Westminster Ga
zette, the British government has al
ready given the Free State assurance
that it will pass such legislation. The
Daily Express says such a bill would
arouse storm Of controversy and
even if passed might not end listers
resistance.
Dispatches from Dublin and Belfast
report anxiety in both Irish capitals
regarding the outcome. The counties
of Tyrone and Fermanagh and the
city of Londonderry hold majorities
for the Free State, and if the commits
sion, acting by virtue of special leg
islation, allots these areas to the Free
State grave trouble is foreSeen.
The Ulster premier, Sir James Craig,
declared last October:
Not yard of our territory will be
handed over to>a foreign flag, and our
enemies will have to trampie over my
grave before they steal yard of it,"
Sir James is quoted by the Daily
Sketch as saying Il am disappointed"
