"Our State Department would
never dare to do anything of that
kind if Nicaragua was a first class
power" Senator Wheeler declared.
ct is mwarranted. and while done
under the pretext of protecting
American lives and property, in my
humble judgment is is done for the
sole purpose of protecting the fin
ancial interests of this country who
seek to exploit the country at the
expense of an illiterate people.
ct can have no other effect than
to breed distrust in all Latin-Amer-
lean countries well as in all other
small nations. 1t is to be deplOred.
My own judgment is that we
should Withdraw our marines from
every country"

know the reasons for it, were on

Whether the action was timed to oc-
cur when there would be no protest
in the Senate, so that whatever hap
pens may be an accomplished fact
by the time the Senate reconvenes

1t is, however, conceded by the
State Department that it does mo-
know why Rear Admiral Latimel

In the mean time Secretary Kel

afternoon that the United States doe
not feel it is interfering in the inter

This was an indirect reference to tn
statement contained in a resolution
offered in the Senate several day
ago by Senator Moses, of New Hamp
shire, that the United States depart
ment of state furnish information a
to what it is doing to take sides Il
the dispute in Nicaragua between tn
Diaz government, supported by tn
United States, and the revolution

The departments policy for tn
next ten days will be its own. Wit

In the meantime it is feared tina
the relations between the Unite
States and Mexico, which were on tn
road to improvement as a result c
the decision of many oil and Othe
corporations operating in Mexico t
comply with the new laws, will tax
a turn for the worse. Nicaragua ma

the prosecution produced a surprise
witness in the person of George Mat
uskoff, detective, who testified that
Kittock had on several occasions as
much as admitted having committed
the crime, explaining, however, that
it would not have happened had he
been sober at the time.
The defense built its case on the
contention that Elsie Hedderick, the
states star witness, was not in SEQ
hey at the time Siegert disappeared
and therefore could not have witness
ed the alleged killing.

Helena.-Industrial lines of bust

the stimulus of cheap money and the

1O-CENT BUS FARE
ASKED BY v. R. 7.
Company Also Requests Con-
Sideration of Service-at-
Cost Proposals.

A petition asking for a 10-cent
straight cash fare on it's lines and
consideration of the advisability of
establishing service-at-cost plan Of
operation was submitted to the Public
Utilities Commission this afternoon by
the Washington Rapid Transit, Co.
Prior to January /, the rate of fare
prescribed by the commission. the
petition pointed out, was 10 cents cash
or five tokens for As cents, and on
that date the commission agreed to
accept and put into effect voluntary
reduction from five tokens for 45
cents to six tokens for so cents, it
being understood that the lower fare
was to be effective for a trial period
of 80 days, at the expiration of which
the company was to report to the
commission the result of operations.
AS a result of an analysis of opera
tions in 1925, the company petitions
the commission for an adjustment in
the rate of fare based on the results
of operation within the District DUR
ing the first six-month period of
this year.
During this period,' the company
states, "the company received total
gross revenues of 47,027.65.
AlIST CABcIiScS
In accordance with the new account
ing classification prescribed by the com.
mission and made effective January
/, 1926, and reserves for taxes and de-
probation, there remains net def
icit In excess of $4,000. 1t will thus
be seen that the existing rate OF fare
did not afford this company any re-
tuxn whatever on its investment.
Moreover, the existing rate of fare,
if continued in force, obviously will
be insufficient and inadequate to en-
able the company to earn fair and
reasonable return upon the value of
it's property used and useful for the
convenience of the public by whatever
method the valuation of such property
may be determined.
''In order that its patrons may re-
ceive the benefit of any improvement
in operating methods or increase of
patronage which may be accom-
plished, the Washington Rapid Tran
sit Co., is willing to accept a service
at.cost plan whereby rates of fare
will be made ITO change automatically
with cost Of service. Such plan
will be submitted for the considera-
tion of the commission at the hear
ing to be held by the corHmission
pursuant to this petition. /

purpose of the premier now to intro
duce his third bill the object Of which
is to facilitate early monetary sta
bilization, based on the recommenda-
tions of the experts committee.
1t is expected the Chamber will pass
this bill by next Friday.
The bill creating an autonomous
sinking fund to care for the retire
ment of national defense bonds, the
second of the premier's measures,
went smoothly through the Chambers
finance committee. 1t will be sent to
the Chamber as soon as the necessary
formalities are complied with.

ALLEGED RUM BAND
SOUGHT IN DEATHS
Three Youths Arrested in
Killing of Revivalist and
Singer in Kentucky.
By the Associated Press.

MORGANTOWN, KY, August A.
Members OF an alleged bootlegging
gang are being rounded up for ques.
tioning in connection with the sensa-
tional double murder Monday night
of Rev. w. A. Moss, 81, an evangelist.
and Mrs. Jerome Johnson, 80, q choir
singer, during the progress of revival
services.
AS the strains of when the Roll Is
Called Up Yonder I'll Be There" float
ed through the little schoolhouse at
Eary, IL miles northwest of here, with
the tune being carried by more than
100 fathers, mothers and children of
the neighborhood, three shots rang out
in quick succession and an itinerant
revivalist and his choir leader, stand.
ing next to him, fell dead, killed by
the same bullet. A third person was
wounded.
Late yesterday three youths, alleged
TO be members of group of moon
sinners who feared and hated the re-
yivalist because he had denounced
their activities, were jailed in Morgan
town, after being run down by posses
which had secured the nearby woods
since the shooting.
Tive Others Sought.
Two others of the band are being
hunted.
Mr.. Mess and his choir leader were
shot down after warning had been
received Monday By the minister that
he would be killed. He insisted on
holding his services despite that fact.
and was killed before the eyes of three
deputies who had come to guard him.
The schoolhouse faces main
country road, surrounded by grove
of large trees. Worshipers began
the meeting with song service 1t
had hardly reached a crescendo when
a man thrust his head into rear
window of the building and the shots
were fired.
Bullet Strikes Two.
The first bullet went through the
eyangelist's neck, |Mr. Taylor said,
pierced Mrs. Johnson's brain and
plunged into wall.
AS the two victims fell to the
floor. pandemoniumi broke loose in
the building. Pushing his way
through the crowd, Mr.. Taylor ran
to the window in an attempt to get
shot at the youths, but they had
disappeared amid the trees.
the first arrest made was that of
Cliff Wilson, 81, captured early yes
terday after bloodhounds had trailed
him to hiding place in the woods
mile from the schoolhouse.
Wilson was confined in the county
, Jail here.
An hour later Fred Wilson, II, an
other alleged member of the gang,
was run down by officers who were
driving along the road in front of
the .schoolhouse in motor.
Emmons Phelps, 16, third member
Of the gang, was found hiding later
about zoo yards from the schoolhouse.
