Correspondence on the subject made
public today revealed the marine de-
tachment had been ordered to with
draw ION the next boat but repre-
sentations by the minister of foreign
affairs for Nicaragua said an imme-
diate withdrawal of the marines
would cause, among other lamenta-
BILE consequences" continuing uneasi-
ness in matters of public business and
activities on the part of those who
might avail themselves of the with
drawal to disturb the peace"
Fear Trouble Would Follow.
Other reasons for the retention of
the Marines were outlined. They as
serted that customs bonds and de-
probation of currency would prob
ably follow the departure of the
Marines, and that the "unfounded
idea would prevail that there ha g
been loosenine of the firm ties Of
friendship, which so fortunately exist
between both governments and coun-
tries and which is so evident in the
terms of recent note OF the (Ameri
CAM legation"
In conclusion, Foreign Minister Cas-
trillo urged that the marines should
remain at their present post in the in
terest of peace, order, we'll being and
benefit Of Nicaragua"
Such a reconsideration" the min

United States Events Request,
Acting on State Department instruc-
tions, Walter c. Thurston, American
charge at Managua, informed the
Nicaraguan government in a note
dated January II that the United
States Government always desired to
cooperate in any proper way in pro-
noting the peaceful development and
prosperity of Nicaragua" and there
fore acceded to the request that the
Marines remain for a limited period
of time.
The correspondence makes It clear
that the Nicaraguan government will
at once organize constabulary
force, under instruction of American
officers If such service is desired,
and that the marines will be with
drawn as soon as the constabulary is
effectively organized.

Ever been arrested in Baltimore? .?
Inspector Grant asked the prisoner
after Sandberg had identified him.
I'm no murderer or yegg" the
prisoner responded, but if you take
me to the electric chair I'll not talk
1t was through the fingerprints or
the Baltimore Identification card that
Sandberg was able to establish his
identity. The prisoner. who told the
police he was a newspaper man and
that he was born in the town OF
Three Rivers, Quebec, was mentioned
on the Baltimore record as a native
of Nova Scotia, and as a newspaper
man.

to believe that the discovery may
eventually prove TO be nothing less
than a new form Of energy.

his race and the probable length Of
his life. 1T was his theory that after
disease had been detected by his
method a cure could be effected by
means Of another instrument called
the osCilloclast, which used electric

DR.. Abrams had many followers, and
his theory won the support of some
