Moderate Penalty
of Colonel.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-CP--.
Conviction OF Colonel William Nit
chell by an army court-martial for
violation of the 96th article of war.
was approved today by the War De-
partment board of review, insofar as
legal aspects of the trial are con,
cerned. 81
The trial record with the boards
report will be forwarded probably in
the next day or so TO the judge ad-
vocate general Of the army and after
further examination by him, will be
started on its way, through Secretary
Davis, TO President Coolidge.
AWAIT COOLIDGE'S ACTION
Action of the board Of review,
which considered the record wholly
from a legal standpoint, would seem
to put at rest all speculation as to
the constitutional right of the court
TO sentence Colonel Mitchell TO suS-
pension for five years from duty, COM
mand and rank in the army as well as
deprive him of all pay and allowances
for five years.
Major General ]. A. Hull, the judge
advocate, probably will forward the
papers to Secretary Davis this week
and it is not expected that the secre
tary will delay its delivery to Presi-
dent Coolidge. Until the President.
acts, the courts findings which grew
out of Colonel Mitchell's criticisms, of
the war and navy departments, can
not be made effective.
MAY COMMUTE SENTENCE y
Regardless of the recommendation
Secretary Davis and General Hull may
see fit to make it is regarded likely
that Mr.. Coolidge will give most care
full attention to the pay forfeiture be-
fore he determines what his course
of action shall be.
1t is within the Presidents power
to commute all or any part OF the
sentence. His subordinate advisers may
recommend only and neither Secretary
Davis nor General Hull has given any
indication of what their recommends.

however, believe it is within the range
of possibilities that the President viii.
commute the fiye-year suspension 10
two and one-half years and in add
ton will allow the officer some part
of his regular pay and allowances.
MITCHELL SILENT
A reduction of the fiye-year period
by half would cause the sentence e

would become eligible under the 80.

"You from New Albany the new

Unarmed by this statement and the

MANY ADVANTAGES.

The industrial advantages of such
a rate, according TO Mr.. Ludolph, are
obvious as it is evident that such a
difference in rate would cause new
concerns coming into the state to
favor San Antonio strongly.
Another advantage OF the proposed
change, according to insurance men
here, is that it would even up the dis
advantage under which San Antonio
and Southwest Texas have labored for
many years because of the high fire
losses Of some of the other large cities
of the state.
While San. Antonio's key rate will
not be changed by the hearing, it is
the opinion of those who have made a
broad study Of the situation that the
penalty system would affect the aver
age rate over the entire state and, in
the long run, would take some OF the
burden off Of the shoulders of those
sections where the loss is low.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-19
S. A. RATES MINIMUM.

San Antonio this year, and for sew
eral years, Mr.. Ludolph said, has been
enjoying the maximum fire record
credit of IL per cent.
San Antonio's rate, according to
Mr.. Ludolph, will in no way be af-
fected by the hearing, neither being
lowered or raised.
However, he said, it is now propos-
ed that cities where the fire record
is bad not only will not enjoy the
good record credit but will also be
penalized in proportion to their losses.
This plan, if adopted, Mr.. Ludolph
said, will mean that San Antonio will
have a fire insurance rate as much
as so per cent lower than other of
the large cities Of the state.

COOPERATION

Electrical Plants Of City
to Lend Assistance to
Broadcasters.

Cooperative effort already is under
way to make possible the hearing of
European broadcasts during the week
January "a to 30. Not only American
broadcasting stations generally will
remain quiet during the week between
10 and IL O'Clock, San Antonio time,
but others who deal in electrical. ap-
planes likewise are moving TO make
the least possible disturbance during
those hours.
Leaky transformers, by which is
meant the inductance coils hung about
over the city to bring electric lights
into the homes from the main supply
sources, battery charging stations, X
ray and violet-ray machines, as well
as poor contact at the BRUSHES of dy-
namos and power motors, all produce
radio waves of varying length and
cause interference with broadcast re
ceiving sets.

Proposal to change Texas fire in
surance rates that will give San An
tonic a still greater advantage over
other large cities of the state was
made Tuesday in a public hearing
before the state fire insurance com
mission at Austin.

The hearing, which resulted from
a recent decision by Attorney Cen

to Mr.. Ludolph, for the purpose of
promulgating a change in fire insur-
ance rate in cities or towns having
an excessive fire loss.

PROMISE COOPERATION.

In the case of leaky transformers
and the sparkling at brush contacts in
generators and motors, this interior
ence is a costly loss to the power COM
pa1ies and to the users of power.
That sort of interference only has to
be reported to the proper source to be
cured. And, in tina: connection, the
San Antonio Public Service Company
has expressed its desire to cooperate
fully with the radio listeners.
Ed. H. Kifer, vice president and
general manager of the Public Service
Company, Tuesday voiced his SYM
patty with the movement to "clear

US. TROOPS LAND
 NEAR NICARAGUA
Latimer Prepares for Any EYen-
 tuaity in Revolution

Washington, Dec. 24 RIThe revolutionary situation in Nicaragua apparently is becoming increasingly serious.
 Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer, in command of the American special service squadron in Latin American waters, has found 1t advisable to land force of bluejackets at Rio Grande bar and to proceed. himself, aboard his flagship, the Rochester, of the revolutionary movement.
 Meanwhile. Adolfo Diaz, the con- servative president of Nicaragua, who has been recognized by the United States and is being opposed by the liberal revolutionary group headed by former Vice President Sacasa, recognized as president by Mexico, has renewed his appeal for American intervention.
 He announced last night that he had commissioned Dr. Alehandro Cesar, former Nicaraguan minister here, to come to Washington to ex- press to the American government The earnest desire of my govern ment to bring peace to Nicaragua.
 Reiterating his charges that the Sacasa faction is being supplied with guns and men by the Gales govern ment of Mexico and that "insidious Mexican propaganda is being broad cast daily by Mexico" he declared Mexican oppression Is becoming so strong that eventually I cannot cope with it. and I again appeal to the American government for American intervention, which, with it's high ideals, is many times more desirable than Mexican culture allied with barbarism." ....
 Fighting on the east coast, where the United States has several naval units, he related, is becoming more tense and severe," and "the loss of life durings this revolution is appal- ling" The Nicaraguan consul in Honduras, he said, had reported the landing of 'soldiers, mostly Mexi- cans, and arms" by gun runner at Puerto CabeZas, near the Honduran border, which is Admiral Latimer's destination.
 The admiral, in reporting his movements to the Washington au- thorities, gave no details to show what developments had caused him to land bluejackets at Rio Grande bar and go to the revolutionary cen- ter. It was assumed that the blue jackets were put ashore to protect American and other foreigners en- gagged in the movement of hardwood lumber out of the Rio Grande river Revion.

kewanee Recluse Leaves
 S50,000 for Park Fund

Peoria, H., Dec. A R) The city of Kewanee, which once await ed the return of a millionaire" to receive his gifts, only to find that it was hoayed, prepared to receive q gift of s50,000 provided in the will of a recluse who stipulated that the city should burn his body, the Peoria Transcript says.
 The s50,000 is to be used for a park fund. The recluse, Fred r. Francis, Fl year old and a gradu- ate of the University of Illinois, was found dead at his home yesterday morning. Today his will disclosed a strange request that the city burn his body on a funeral pyre of cordwood in his own back yard, but if health authorities preferred, cremate 1t privately.
 Failing to do as the will pro- vided. the money was to be given Francis alma mater, the paper says, together with several Kewanee charities.

LIBERTY CHRISTMAS
 GIFT TO PRISONERS
French Cabinet Council Will Meet to Consider Amnesty to
 Germans.

Paris, Dec. A R>-The Germans sentenced by the French courtmar- tial at Landau. Germany, in con- nection with the attack at Germer- sheim on Lieutenant Roucier are likely to receive amnesty as a Christmastide gesture, Le Matin learns. A cabinet council will con- sider the matter today.
 The newspaper understands that General Guillaumat, commander of the French forces in the Rhineland, advised War Minister Painleve that amnesty be granted. The German population of Landau has been con- siderably excited over the verdict of the court martial, which cleared Lieut.. Roucier of charges of killing one German and wounding two others.
 German Ambassador Won Hoesch, who was ordered by the Berlin gov ernment to protest the verdict, took the usual step of seeing War Minis ter Painleve personally and unoffi- cially instead of confining his con- tact with the French government to Foreign Minister Briand and M. Berthelot, secretary general of the foreign office.

CHRISTMAS SAVINGS
 PAYMENTS ARE HUGE
New England Banks Making Distri- button of Quarter Million
 Dollars To DepoSitors

Boston, Dec. "A P>-If the Christi mas savings clubs are an accurate barometer, tomorrow will be a day prodigal beyond any of the past. Nearly s25,0O0,O00 was distributed in time for Christmas shopping ac- cording to the best pre-holiday esti- mates for New England.
 Massachusetts had 354,770 depos- itors in saving banks and trust com panies to receive S17,946.492, exclu- sive of similar clubs operated by some National banks. Rhode Island showed a jump of s5o0,0o0 over last year to a total of $2,184,00o in Christmas clubs, the bank commis sioner estimated.
 New Hampshire reported $780, 900 in this form of stocking and in Maine, while the bank commission CT had no figures the banks were estimated to have $1,794,6o0 in ac- cumulated deposits in Christmas clubs. No figures for Vermont were available. The total of these re- ports is s22,674,492, and bankers said that this would be raised to near the s25,OOO.OOo mark by de- posits not included but which rank as Christmas funds. Sure. the bank CTS expect to receive from one-third to one-half of the total back as permanent deposits, but 1t is there if Santa Claus needs 1t.
