FRACTIONS WAR l. FOR PRESIDENCY
 OF HONOUR
Strict Neutrality Is En- joined Upon U. S. Forces
 In The Field

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Wide- spread confusion in Honduras, due to numerous revolutions in behalf of at least three leaders who aspire to the presidency, was indicated today in ad- vices received at the state department from Csnsh George F. Waller at Ceiba.
 The, American cruiser Denver, after being at Ceiba for several days because of situation regarded as menacing to American life and property, has now been sent to Tela which on Saturday was reported to be occupied by reyolu- tionists headed by General Tosta.
 The situation at Seiba, according to advices dated March 2, was temporarily tranquil" while a new governor has been appointed and was said to be doing his best to preserve order"
 Nevertheless, the 70 marines and sailors which were landed last week at Ceiba to guard the American con- sulate and protect American lives and property remain in that city. |
 Strictist neutrality as between the rival revolutionary movements has been enjoined upon the American naval com handlers. a
 They have been directed to confine themselves strictly to the protection of American interests and not, to permit their operations to assume the appear ancs of American intervention.
 Forces of the de faeto government were seriously defeated yesterday by the revolutionary column commanded by General Ferrera. The first occurred at the town of Tamara, 15 miles west of Tegueigalpa, the Honduras capital.
 Presumably an attack by Ferrera on the capital is immient.- The wife of the de facto government cmfwyp rde the de facto president, Gutierrez, has left the city for the seaport of Amapnla.

EARMRELIEF HAS OPPOSITION
 FROM BOTH SIDES
Fletcher Calls $75,00O, ,O00 Measure Rampant
 Paternalism'

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Stren- uous opposition greeted today the ap- pearance nj the Senate the first special farm relief measure-the Norbeck-Bu ness bill proposing the loan of 5,000,- 900 to finance diversification.
 Declaring it was 'paternalism run rampant" Senator Fletcher, democrat, Florida, said it was time to call halt upon such measures.
 We are proposing to loan this honey" he said, flor the purpose of enabling the one-crop farmer to keep livestock on land never adaptable for grazing; or to raise other crops where tho land will not produce but one. We have already gone the limit along this ine." :
 Senator Fletcher's attitude was un- derstood to be that of the several other senators on the democratic side and of some republicans. An effort of Sena- tor Ladd, republican, North Dakota, to end debate at 5 o'clock tomorrow was blocked by notification from sev- cral senators that they desired to dis cuss the measure.
 The North Dakota senator, having reported the bill from the agriculture committee, assumed charge of it on the floor. He contended that the govern ment owed special consideration to the spring wheat farmers because of the l, hal yt, Al,n wartime propaganda which at one time increased production and decreased consumption. Several amendments al- ready have been proposed to the bill which would increase the amount to carried to $507, 100000. Among them is a provision, offered by Senator Bur sum, republican, New Mexico, which would provide $2O,00O,000 for loans to banks in the northwest. Senator Fletcher said the purpose of this was to 'bolster up busted banks"
 "The. whole tendency" he said, 'is toward further centralization of au- thority in the federal government. Can you imagine the secretary of agricul- ture supervising this fund without talk ing some control of the farms he aids, or of the comptroller passing out his a good campaign fund have no doubt these banksa M
 "'Of course, if the idea is to establish a good campaign fund hay enc doubt that 50 or 100 million properly handled would be ver- effective"
 Senator Bursom here interjected the remark that ithe fsepator certainly does not want to leaye the idea that any administration would capitalize the miseries of farmers" and Senator Fletcher replied he had merely sug- ] gested that in passing.
 Senator Johnson. fnrmer-labor, Min nesota, said the Chambers of Com merce were too strong for the farmers who tried 10 cfrry out their co-opera- tive organizations" when the Florida senator suggested this was he logical solution of their difficulties.
 T refer you to1. the recent decision of the federal colnmision, said Sen ator Johnson. 'It should be interest ling to be seIlatpr.Y
 Senator Breokha1t, republican, Iowa also took exception to the arguments advanced by Senator Fletcher. The credit facilities requested, he said, were actually provided ''in large measure from the farmeres deposits"

 AS CANDLER CASE
 VIRTUALLY ENDS
Chiefs Judgment O. Whisky Considered Best
 Testimony Given

ATLANTA. Ga. March 3.--Specta- tors who today witnessed the hearing in which Mrs. Asa c. Chandler and ". J. Keeling were dismissed and W. ! Stoddard. all of Atlanta. was bound over for another trial under $500 bond, were of the opinion that the affair smacked of Harold Lloyd.C Charlie Chaplin comedy. ss.
 Not that the trial was ioke-but that the testimony and method of pre-. sentation of the testimony of Chief of Police Beavers, main witness, kept the closely damned room of people in contin- uous guffaws and twitters, according to whether the emitters of mirthful out bursts wore shaggy coats or kept the foul air of the room from their immac- ulate collars with expensive fur choak- CTS. 7
 One point in the heated debate, a con troversy over whether more than one person could be in possession" of the same liquor, furnished much amusement for the spectators and much trouble for the order-keeper. '.l.
 'Sure, more than one person can possess one-bottie-of-iiquor," declared Beavers. Once about dozen of us boys got in a room. with a quart bottle of whisky and before very many minutes each one of us was in full possession of that liquor"
 Mrs. Candler arrived with her sister, Mrs. J. B. Brown, too late to obtain a regulation seat--she got there fifteen minutes before the trial began-and was forced to occupy piano stool, rustled by willing attaches from goodness knows where.
 Fistic Encounter Averted
 A fistic encounter was averted by quick work of attorneys and court at taches who kept Stoddard's shaking finger just beyond the nose of Chief Beavers when he testified that Stoddard, in reply to his shaming and question, replied that Mrs. Stoddard had often remonstrated with him about going out" with Mrs. Candler.s
 T didn't say any such thing, and you know didn't" shot back Stoddard, his face ivid with anger.
 However, the chief seemed under con- tract to not allow the tense atmosphere to long prevail
 "In just which room was Stoddard when you walked in?" questioned Ben Conyers, Stoddards, attorney.
 Tn the room where the liquor was" assured Beavers, which promptly brought down the house.
 It Was Liquor Says Chief
 The policeman's testimony as to how he knew the bottle contained liquor was not exactly sad. 1.%e
 T had bad cold" he said, land couldn't tell by smelling whether it was whisky or not, so I tasted it. It was liquor, too."
 He had been warned, Beavers testi- fled, by Forrest tAdair, who said he represented Mfr. Asa. G. Candler, Sr., husband of the accused woman, that when call was received at police head quarters the chief would know that Mrs. Candler was in room with a man that he should immediately hie hence to the predetermined address.
 "So," said Beavers, "'when the call came I went to the apartment and there they were with a botsle of liquor, bottle of vinegar and three glasses, recently used fpr drinking, on the table. , Recalling tie bad cold, Conyers in- quired if Beavers had identified the vinegar by the sense of taste.
 "No," admitted Beavers, T could tell it was vinegar without tasting it."
