Paul Smiths, n. Y, Sept. 15.-(P)-
President Coolidge directed his atten-
ton today to Nicaragua, where polti-
cal and military disturbances have de.
veloped. and by proclamation placed
an embargo on the shipment of arms
and munitions from the United States
to that country.
The action was taken upon the rec

noupcement of the proclamation no
comment was made here on the situa-
ton.
Returns from the several state pri-
maries of yesterday were received by
Mr.. Coolidge at the executive Offices
today but he made no comment upon
the results. From the first he has re-
Trained from taking part in state party
contests and it is understood he in
tends to adhere rigidly to that course.
Even the Maine state election figures
brought no statement from him, but
in that case he sent kilograms of con-
graduation to the four Republicans
cessful candidates for national Offices.

tor Bruce of Maryland and a group of

flict with the facts shown at the trial
of Sacco and Vanzetti. He could not
finish today and indicated he will re-
quire most Of the morning tomor-
row.
Mr.. Thompson again and again
complained when affidavits, which
are the only evidence in the hearing,
clashed. that the government had re-
fused to examine witnesses jointly.
"They didn't want the truth: they
wanted to make a case, he charged
ut was the duty of the attorney gen.
eral to take the initiative in his case,
not I. There were five persons con-
cerned in the South Braintree muir
der, and after the arrest of Sacco
and Vanzetti. the government made
no apparent effort to apprehend the
other three"
His most virulent attack Of the day
was launched against department of
justice officials. Defense aff1davits
charged them with planting a stool
pigeon in a cell next to Sacco and
with attempts to hire man to spy
ON Mrs. Sacco while boarding at her
home.

an unprotected woman" shouted Mr..

reward. I leave it to the judgment OF
mankind, for all mankind in Europe
and America is interested in this
case"
Again he said, (which is the worst
murderer, a man who shoots and
takes the consequences or one who
takes So day to convict men he
knows are Innocent"
In the face Of Madeiros' persistent
refusal to name the four other men
in the South Braintree holdup, say
ing IF I can't save Sacco and Van
zetti myself, why should ! implicate
my companions?" Mr.. Thompson
strove to show circumstantially that
the Iorelli gang were composed Of
three men.
He said that the evidence that Ma
deiros admitted knowing members OF
the gang and Of their later where
abouts, that he had told. two other
men he knew and worked with them,
and that Madeiros had every oppor-
tunity of knowing them with the sort
OF life he was leading while he lived
in their neighborhood in Providence.

Sousa to Play in
Wateryille Sept. 20

The daily newspapers now and
throughout most of his career have
given him the majority Of the ideas
for his programs, says Lieut.. Com.
John Philip Sousa, who this season
will make his saith annual tour at
the head of his famous band, playing
in Waterville Monday, September 20
at the City Opera House, matinee
only, at 2:30 P. NJ. under the aus
pices of the George. N. Bourque
American Legion Post, No. 5.
Sousa in such a season as that OF
1925-26 played to more than 2,0o0,-
600 people in 242 cities andftowns, To-
Gated in AZ states. Obviously the
only way to know what is interesting
such a widely scattered multitude is
to read the papers. And that Is ex-
actly what Sousa does. when he is
on tour he makes it point to read
every day a New York paper, a Chi
caYo paper, and st. Louis paper.
This is his minimum. He tries to
obtain and read before each days
appearances the papers of the city
in which he is appearing that day.
frequently something in the paper
suggests change in the program of
local interest. But always his chief
idea Is to discover from the papers
what people in all parts of the coun-
try have in common.
Now how does this work out when
Sousa plans his program for his
current tour?
In the first place. this year is the
Sesoui- Centennial of American indie
pendence. So one of the new marches
is entitled "Sesqui- Centenn' March"
and it will be the official march OF
the great exposition in Philadelphia,
which will attract peope to the era
die of Liberty" from all sections OF
the country. And of course he VIII
play 'sThe Liberty Bell" frequently.

was afterward confined to the Maine
General Hospital for four month.
While In the hospital the Depart

paid his hospital bills himself. Think
Ing that he would recover, he did not
apply for State compensation, and
after his discharge from the hospital
he at once sought work to enable
him to support his wife and three
children. He obtained a position
with the Maine Motor Mart, doing,
as he snilingly stated "all kinds of
work around the garage, getting un-
der cars, washing automobiles, and
so FORTH" A short time ago he was
discharged from that position. "They

he declared simply.
Within a few weeks the injured
offlcer was examined by DR.. Abbott
OF Portland. AS a result Of this ex-
animation, DR.. Abbott stated that
Libby Is suffering from fracture of
the lumbar vertabrae, requiring an
immediate operation. If this opera
ton is not performed Libby's con-
dition. which is SO serious already
that he Is compelled to walk with
a cane, will become progressively
worse until 1t results in total incapa-
city. according to the testimony in
troduced.
The operation will require Libby's
staying in the hospital for 10 to u
weeks, and will cost in the neighbour
hood Of $500
Libby's cheerful demeanor and
evident reluctance to ask for any
thing which was not justly his due
had its effect on the Governor and
Council, and it was unanimously
voted to waive the two year law
which requires that an injured man
must apply for compensation within
that period.
His operation and subsequent bills
will be taken care Of for him. Libby
was represented at today's hearing
by attorney Franklin Fisher, former
Assistant Attorney General.
