BANS
ARMS SHIPMENT
TO NICARAGUA

PAUL SMITHS, N. Y, Sept. Is. -
President Coolidge directed his atten-
ton today to Nicaraguan affairs, where
political and military disturbances have
developed, and by proclamation placed
an embargo on the shipment of arms
and ammunition from the United States
to that country.
The act was taken upon the recon-
mendation of the state department at
washington and beyond a brief an
nouncement of the proclamation no
comment was made here on the situa-
tion. Returns from the several state
primaries were received by Coolidge at
the executive offices today, but he
made no comment on the results. From
the first he has refrained from taking
part in state party contests and it is
understood he intends to adhere rigidly
to that course. Even the Maine state
election figures brought no statement
from him, but in that case he sent tele-
grams of congratulation to the four re-
publicans who were elected to congress
as successful candidates for national
offices.
Coolidge plans to receive Senator
Bruce of Maryland and q group of
Baltimore residents after his return to
Washington to hear their protest
against continuance of the Curtis Bay
arsenal in that city.
A cold, overcast day greeted Coolidge
today and he spent the time at the ex-
ecutive offices and at White Pine camp
Preparations are already far advanced
for his return to Washington at the
end of this week.

KIan Asks U. S. to Refrain
From Interfering In Any
Mexican Religious Trouble

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is - Winding
up it's third biennial convocation, the
| Ku KluX Klan today adopted unani-
mously a resolution requesting the
American government not to interfere
in the religious controversy in Mexico.
Thus another issue was drawn be-
tween the khan and the Knights of Co.
lumbus, which have appealed to Presi-
dent Coolidge through Secretary Kel-
logg for Intervention in the dispute be-
tween the Gales government and the
Catholic hierarchy in Mexico.
DR.. Hiram w. Evans, imperial wizard
of the Khan, will appoint a special COM
I mittee to present a copy Of the resolu-
ltions to Secretary Kellogg at the state
department this week.
j AS presented by the Michigan delega-
tion and adopted by the convocation,
the resolution reads:
I Whereas, for more than 100 years
the people of Mexico have been strug-
Cling for independence from European
political and religious influences, such
influences being largely, if not entire
lily responsible for the ignorance and
squalor in which the masses of Mexico
have lived and continue to live, be it
! Iresolved:
Resolved by the Knights Of the Ku
Klux Klan, in convocation assembled,
THAT we sympathize with the present
government of the republic Of Mexico
| in its efforts to free the people from
stultifying foreign influences, to popu-
larize education of the masses, and to
establish government of the people,
bv the people and for the people, be
! further:
/ "Resolved, that it is the sense of the
| Knights of the Ku Klux I<lan that the
government of the United States of
America should in no way interfere in
the internal affairs of Mexico except
for the protection of the rights OF
American citizens guaranteed by inter-
national law or for the preservation
of the Monroe Doctrine from infringe
ment by European powers"
Besides adopting this resolution, the
khan at it's final session made several
changes in it's constitution to make
that instrument more workable and the
assembled delegates bound themselves
by solemn oath to go home and wor-
ship in the Protestant churches every
Sunday.
Dr. Evans described this as perhaps
the most important act of the convo-
cation explaining that it would put mill
lions of men in the churches on Sum
days.

az plspatch A. ?. wEel

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-Twelve
year old Manuel Manulkin was Killed
today in friendly demonstration in

champion of Tunney, told Weinstein
to hit him on the chin and he would
show how the challenger would re-

Manulkin on the side OF the neck.
The latter gasped and dropped to
the ground unconscious. He died
before reaching a hospital. Physi-

Reports from Guaymas state that the
uprising is due directly to the religious
situation now existing in Mexico. For
many years it has been the practice of
the Yaquis to make yearly pilgrim
age to the shrine of San Francisco at
Magdalena, small town IS miles south
! of the border. 1t has recently been the
policy of the government to assist the
Indians in this pilgrimage by charter

ultimatum is believed by some authori-
ties to have led to the uprising.
Reports received in Aqua Prieta on
Tuesday were to the effect that the
uprising had resulted from the failure
of the Mexican government to meet the
demands of the Indians for more money
An additional report states that 10000
pesos, due the Indians from the federal
government, has not been paid. The
fact that the Indians attempted to col
lect this amount from the customs de-
!partment at Guaymas prior to going ON
the warpath indicates that this was
one of the motives that led to the up
rising.
