which controls the patents, at Nord-

was relayed over land telephone wires

among those people that could nor be
secured in any other way. I believe
we should have good embassy build
ings in all the leading South American
countries. These people judge
country largely by what it does in
this way. We have reputation for
wealth and power, but our lack of
embassy buildings and accommoda-
tions for our representatives impress
these people very unfavorably. My
judgment is that nothing would bring
us better return in good Will and
otherwise in the long run than pro-
vision for suitable embassy buildings
at Buenos Aires, Montevideo and most
of the other capitals of South Amer
lea. The sooner we get building at
Buenos Aires the less we will have

very rapidly. Values are increasing,
and what can be gotten now for half

They have the ever present jockey
club at Santiago. These clubs are
found in all the leading cities of South
America. They maintain the race
tracks, where races are run every
Sunday. No horses but those of
South America participate. and they
are all running races. These clubs
are very prosperous and have mag
nificent clubhouses and equipment.
The club at Rio is one of the finest
in South America, and all of its ex-
penses are betrayed by the races.
We visited a cemetery in Santiago
that is indeed a city of the dead.
There is nothing like it in our coun-
try, and Ambassador Collier says that
there is nothing in Europe to equal
it, Streets and avenues are laid out
with tall trees growing on each side.
Facing these streets and avenues are
monumental and spired tombs, some
large and some small, and all of vari
Gus architectural designs. Looking
down the streets you see what might
be taken for fantastic residences and
toy houses. You cannot describe
them. The cemetery must be seen to
be appreciated, but after seeing 1t

We left Santiago at o'clock in the
evening to go to Los Andes, where
we would stay all night and take the
Transandine narrow-gauge train back
the next morning. There was a
great crowd at the station. When q
South American is to take a journey
many of his friends go with him to
the station. It was very interesting
to watch the crowds. They were
happy, jolly and quite demonstrative.
1t was no uncommon sight to see the
men throw their arms about each
other and kiss each other on the side
of the face. When I went into the
car 1t seemed to be crowded, but about
time for the train to start 1t looked
like almost everybody was getting
off, and when we started there was
plenty of room. There was much
hand clapping, some cheering and
some tears.

KRESGE SEEKS $500, 900
FROM BROKERAGE FIRM
Charges Money Was Paid Under
Duress to Get Return of
100000 in Securities.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Supreme
Court Justice Levy today had under
advisement a suit of Sebastian S.
Kresge, wealthy chain store owner, to
recover 100000 which he claims he
paid the brokerage firm of W. E.
Hutton & Co. under duress last
October to get back $2.000,000 In
securities left with the brokers on
account.
Counsel for Mr.. Kresge said the de-
fendant concern induced the plaintiff
to loan them $500 shares of Kresge
stock to save a local brokerage house
from going to the wall, refusing to
pay when the concern went into bank
ruptcy. No dishonesty is alleged in
the complaint, he explained.
The defendants contend Kresge
voluntarily requested the Hutton Co.
to raise the money on Kresge stock
to save the threatened brokerage COM
pany in which he had speculative
accounts.

HAWKINS GUILTY
OF FRAUD CHARGE
viii Appeal to Chicago Court,
Where ID Others Convicted
Await Decision.
By the Associated Press.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July s.
Morton S. Hawkins, 33, former presi-
dent of the Hawkins Mortgage Co.,
today stands convicted of using the
mails in a scheme to defraud.
Hawkins was found guilty by q
jury in Federal Court late yesterday
after that body had deliberated less
than fifteen minutes. Federal Judge
Robert G. Baltzell announced he
would pass sentence next Monday.
Counsel for the defense announced
they would file a writ of error and
appeal the case of Hawkins. who
fought against returning to Indiana
to stand trial through the Federal
Court at Cincinnati and the Court
of Appeals for that district after his
arrest at Dayton, Ohio. to the Circuit
Court of Appeals at Chicago. where
the appeals of IA others. former di-
rectors and officers of the company
convicted under like charges, are
now pending. They were convicted
in November, 1924.
Whether Hawkins, who, the Gov
ernment said, sent false financial
statements and other erroneous lit
erature through the mails, will be
granted bond Is problematical.
He has been held in Jail here since
his return from Ohio last month.

come In that a few of the men expect
to suffer upon their return. and the

strenuous fight for them, backed as
they are by a law which prohibits the
efficiency of any employe being af-
fected by his military service.
Lieut.. Col. Harry e. Gladman, ex-
ecutive officer of the engineers, said
that the organization was prepared to
make a determined test in all cases

lead the campaign. The first gun in

of st. Elizabeths Hospital, for being
absent without leave. Capt. Lane has
just dispatched a letter to DR.. William
l.. White. superintendent of the in
stftution, asking that official to make
a personal investigation. and IL pos
sible, have Pvt. Dodson restored to
duty. Capt. Lane said in his letter
that on one of the nights that Dod-
son was absent he was present at a
drill at the armory in Washington
under orders, and on another night he
was sick and presented a physician s
certificate Of the fact.
