Award to Anne Caldwell.

PITTSBURGH. December 1s.--John
w. Hubbard's appeal for a new trial
in the case of Miss Anne Caldwell
who obtained a $50. 900 verdict against
him in a breach Of promise action for
$500 900. moved nearer decision In
Federal court today. when counsel for
the wealthy shovel ma nufacturer filed
supplemental reasons to support their
motion. The court now has IA rea.
sons under consideration and it was
expected that arguments on the ap-
peal would he ordered within a short
time.
In two reasons entered today. the
defense claimed the court erred In ex-
Guiding certain testimony. In II pre-
vious reasons to support the retrial
motion, Hubbard's attorneys claimed
he had not received q fair and i'm
partial trial, that counsel for Miss
Caldwell had sought to inf1ame the
jury against him in summing up the
testimony and that Judge W. III. s.
Thomson had erred in various in
stances in legal rulings.
The supplemental reasons con-
tended that Judge Thomson erred in
refusing to admit testimony concern
ing the class of women with whom
Miss Caldwell associated in Atlantic
City before the alleged engagement
and that he erred in refusing to admit
testimony which would have contra
dicted Miss Caldwell's statement that
she never posed undraped before a
New York photogra pher.
Max A. Williams. an Atlantic City

stand testifying for Hubbard when the
ruling to exclude testimony concern

Continuance of Goodyear
Case Depends on Courts
Decision on Prejudice.
BY the Associated Press.

TOLEDO, Ohio, December IS
Continuance Monday Of the fight for
control of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co. brought to United States
District Court here by a stockholders
suit to restrain former President F..
A. SeiberlinG and his associates from
blocking a proposed pitaltzation
will depend upon ruling by Judge
John NJ. killits on allegations of
prejudice and lack of jurisdiction.
Attorneys for the Seiberling group
questioned jurisdiction of the court
today in motions to quash summons,
holding that none Of the real de-
fendants"--the Seiberling group--re-
sides in the district, and that George
NJ. Jones and John w. Mcmahon,
Toledo. were collusively named as de-
PENDANTS for the purpose of fraud
ulently creating a jurisdiction.
At the same time, Russell l.. Robin
son, another defendant, in an affidavit
charging Judge Killits with prejudice
and personal bias. asked that another
Judge be designated to hear the case.
Judge Killits must rule first on the
prejudice and bias affidavit and
should he find that insufficient, the
question of Jurisdiction must then be
upheld before the hearing to make
permanent the temporary restraining
order against the Seiberling group
can he started.
Soldering and his associates. as vot
ing trustees of the Goodyear common
stock, recently blocked refinancing
proposal by President Litchfield
which would eliminate control of the
company by a bankers committee
headed by Clarence Dillon of New
York and John Sherman of Cleveland,
and also do away with voting trusts
in the preferred, prior preferred and
common stock.
The present action asks that the
Seiberling group be restrained from
acting as voting trustees of the COM

"Since then two expeditions have
come to the shores of Nicaragua,

Mexico have been landed, and the
Liberals sent to set up a government.

United States and recognized under

THE Nicaraguan government can
quite easily dominate any revolution

ing their inferiority in numbers and
resources. But a Nicarag guam govern
ment supported by 90 per cent of the
people could not permanently with

and military personnel furnished by
the Mexican government
THE population of Mexico is
16, 1000, 600; the population of Mica

the United States and Nicaragua can
find. no way to stop Mexican aid to
this revolution, would it not seem
more humane to hand over this gov
