j. s. ASKED TOPAY
CHILE BANK $4,000
Weeks Repeats Request That
Loss Through Attache
Be Made Good.

Details of the decision of the court
martial here which recently acquitted
Maj. Furman E. McCammon of
charges of being short in his accounts
as military attache at Santiago. Chile,
came to light for the first time yes
terday after Secretary Weeks had re-
newed a request that Congress ap-
propriate approximately $4,000 to re-
fund losses suffered by Chilean
bank through his activities.
The defense contended McCammon
was not guilty, since at the time of
the trial he was insane. The court
through finding him sane when hear
ings of the charges We're begun, held
that at the time of the offense in
1928 he was incapable of judging
right from wrong.
In asking Congress to make good
the Chilean banks loss, Mr.. Weeks
said McCammon had repaid $2,640 of
the shortage, with prospects that he
would make good the entire amount
and that If some means were not pro-
vided to refund the banks loss. he
feared the Government would be "em-
barrassed in it's financial transa ctions
in South American countries"

Coolidge Enters
Neac Term Under
Happy Auguries
No Great Crisis A,cait Ac-
ton, Despite Many
Problems Coming Up.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SO far as human eyes can discern.
Calvin Coolidge will begin his new
term under happier auguries than
many a President has known.
George Washington first undertook
the presidency with doubt and un-
certainty on every hand as to whether
this strange, new experiment in gov
ernment by the people. for the people
and of the people could succeed !;
MadiSon's term was to see an enemy
flag flying over the Capitol; Lincoln s
eyes visioned the bitter civil strife
just ahead as he made his first pledge.
and he saw about him the wreckage
and ruin of civil war when he came
again to take oath; Hayes was twice
inaugurated because March 4 fell on
a Sunday, and there were fears of
open revolt over the close election; /;
Wilson, in 1917. knew that American
entry into the World War was but q
step away.
President Coolidge will make his
new covenant with his countrymen
with, no great domestic or interna-
tional crisis awaiting his action, but
at home crowding upon him. But
they are the same things with which
he has dealt day by day since he
came to Washington from that
strangely contrasting inauguration in
his New England home on the night
of Warren Harding's death. They
can have no hidden terrors for him
or for his Countrymen.

BOYCOTT Of WEST
IN SOUTH IS SEEN
HefIin Tells Senate RetaIia-
ton in Cottonseed Law
Fight Is Planned.

Retaliation by the South for efforts
eliminating against cottonseed prod
ucts already is under way, Senator
Hef1in. Democrat. Alabama, declared
last night in the Senate.
Steps looking to a boycott of typical
Western products such as beet sugar
may be expected, he predicted, adding
that he knew personally that a South
ern Senator had telegraphed his Leg
islature advising the members to as
sist such a boycott.
Senator Helms statement was made
when his sixth attempt to obtain con-
sideration of a resolution placing the
Senate on record as opposed to the
discriminatory laws had met the fate
of the preceding efforts.
Borah Raises Objection.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
made the objection which prevented
consideration and the Alabama Sen
ator warned him "the fight you have
started will cost Idaho millions of
dollars before long
Senator Borah, replying, declared it
was not "a matter of personal favor"
but that a difference of opinion as to
the merits of the resolution led him to
take the position he had
Il maintain" Senator Borah ex-
planned, that so important an action
should be thoroughly discussed and
we cannot do it tonight" At one
point Senator Hef1in issued an ulti-
matum that ''if you desire to transa ct
any business tonight this resolution
must be considered" and he forced
one roll call, but later permitted the
routine call of the calendar to pro-
ceed.
Senator Hef1in did not identify the
member who he said sent the request
to the Southern State Legislature.

STONEHAM FACES
NEW i. S. CHARGE
Perjury Indictment Remains
After AcquittaI on Con-
Spiracy Count. -.
RY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February IS. - The
troubles of Charles A. Stoneham,
growing out of his activities in the
stock market. did not end yesterday
when a Federal jury acquitted him
of charges of conspiracy to defraud
investors through use of the mails.
The base ball magnate stands under
second Federal Indictment alleging
perjury, and he has been made de-
fendant in numerous suits brought by
customers of his now defunct broker
age firm.
Another development in the case
was the statement of District Attor-
ney Banton, who called attention to
the trial judges remarks that there
had been evidence of bucketing Mr.
Banton said he had requested the
United States district attorney to
send to him the evidence that tended
to justify Judge Winslow's remarks.
Calls Case Persecution.
Freed with his co-defendants, Ross
F. Robertson and Elmore d. DER.
Stoneham said the case was perse-
cution.
The Government charged that
Stoneham and others transferred
nearly S5,000,000 in customers ac-
counts to f. d. DER & Co. when they
knew the affairs of the latter concern
were in bad condition.
More than month and a half was
required to try the case.
