BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY. May 14.--Dr. Juan
B. Sacasa, head of the Liberal regime

agreement has been reached between
stimson Henry Il. Stimson, personal
representative of President Coolidge)
and tins Liberals To disarm the people
who support my government.
Neither my government, nor the
sovereign Nicaraguan people nor the
Constitutional army will accept Diaz
conservative, as President.
Z .sThe fatal term set by the invaders
to the Liberals for the laying down of
their arms expires today friday, but
as all Liberals are fighting together
like single man. we are expecting In
evitable bloody developments. Notify
the world that the soldiers who for
more than year have been fighting
under great hardships will march to
death rather than to dishonor."
Zepeda in making public the mes
sage. declared that the world soon
would witness the greatest power
openly fighting the small Nicaraguan
republic, and that news would soon
reach the United States that the blood
of the youth of the two continents,
of the youth OF the two countries

Two Liberal Bands, However, Refuse

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May IA P).
Liberal leaders here today empha-
sized that the agreement between
Henry L. Stimson. personal represent
ative of President Coolidge, and Gen.
Moncada for the laying down of the
Liberal arms was solely military
agreement, as the general does not
represent the entire Liberal party. 1t
was pointed out that President Sa-
casa's peace delegates, the Liberal
executive committeeman. and Sacasa
himself have stated at all times that
they would not deal with the Conser-
vative government under President
Adolfo. Diaz, or accept representation
in the government SO long as Diaz
was President.
Meanwhile the disarmament of both
Liberal and Conservative forces is con-
tinuing, and Mr.. Stimson was pre-
eros, where, on the invitation of Gen.
Moncada he will address the Liberal
soldiers before they are formally dis
banded. Gen. Moncada asked him to
do this to make it clear that the
United States was acting. not in be-
half of the Conservatives, but through
a desire to help Nicaragua and to as
sure impartial elections.
Approximately 1000 Liberals in the
field and 1000 Conservatives in Mana
qua turned in their arms yesterday.
The Liberal Gen. Miller with 800 men
and few scattered bands have an
nounced they will not comply with
the order to lay down their arms,
while Gen. Cabulla. with 400 men, is
still holding out near Chinandega.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Conservative party, approval was
given to the plan agreed upon by Gen.
Moncada and Mr.. Stimson for restora
ton of Liberal representation in the
government.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 14.-Pros-
poets of a crowd of unprecedented size
witnessing the Kentucky Derby here
today were strengthened by constant
shining of the sun as the hour for the
running of the classic approached.
Officials predicted that the track at
Churchill Downs would be dull, due
to rainfall yesterday and last night.
Workmen spent the morning i'm
proving the track. 1t was believed
that their efforts would be rewarded
by the course being classed as fast
when the horses were ordered to the
post for the big race. A great deal
depended, however. on the weather
continuing to be ideal, as predicted
by Government experts.
All Seats Sold.
Every unreserved seat was sold
long before noon. Tens of thousands
of other persons held reserved seat
tickets.
Squads of policemen began their
struggle to keep traffic moving in the
vicinity of the historic racing plant
shortly after dawn. Nearly every con-
ceivable type of vehicle was to be
found in the neighborhood.
License tags of numerous autorno-
biles showed that their owners had
Travelled thousands of miles to attend
the event.
The fact that the track probably
would be dull was believed to be in
favor of the chances Of one OF the
Western horses to finish first in the
$50, 900 sprint Royal Julian, Hyd-
romel, Rolled Stocking and Fred. Jr,
are among the animals whose stock Is
believed to have been boosted by the
condition of the oval. However,

1t was estimated that more than
$4,000 fans from the Chicago district
would be present when all the spec
tators had been crowded into the
plant. Many of that number came
on special trains. They were strong
for Fred Jr., Windy City entry;
Other sections also sent speciai
trains.
III all the horses entered-18-
start, the race will be worth S52,52o
to the owner of the winner. The
largest previous value was $5S,77o,

Thirteenth Street Parking.

Merchants on Thirteenth street have

business since the new traffic regula.
ton barring angle parking went into
effect The Thirteenth Street Business
Mems Association. composed of mer-
street, has conducted poll of its
members on the question with re
suit that only FIVE out of siXty-one Vot-

parking. The merchants, in their com
pIaint. maintain that they were as

thoroughfare. that the object Of tho
increased width was to supply ample
parking space. combined with friction,
less street travel and that the reguiI

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES +. TRACEE ELL.

To look through a catalogue OF
some English "tobacconist" IL TO dis
abuse ones mind of the idea that
pipe is just a pipe and tobacco jar
just a jar.
Here are 900 different shapes of
pipes, in various finishes, at what
might seem, to the non-smoker, per
fectly outrageous prices.
Here are tobacco jars galore. All

+ The smokers fancy is intrigued by
"a faithful reproduction Of a seven

an inner lid which fits micrometricallN
and the outer lid screws tightly on to
the jar"
This may strike the cigarette
smoker az rather gliding the lily, or
painting the rose; the pipe enthusiast
recognizes Immediately that such
jar might run some chance of being
air tight"
While there are some smokers who
believe in dry tobacco, feeling that ii
smokes cooler. the ma iority OF fans
want their fuel slightly moist.
The air. however, seems to prefer
moisture from tobacco to water from
any other source, at least II one may
Judge from the avidity with which it

No sooner is the can opened, how

Here is where the tobacco jar

Once in the jar, often fitted with
rubber gasket around the lid the to-
bacco is kept more or less moist by
means OF a sponge placed under the
lid. The better jars provide a space
for this purpose.

The pipe smoker has quite an ad'
vantage over cigar and cigarette
smokers in this respect, because all
the objects he uses may be works of
art, If he has the taste and, equally
important, the money.
The tobacco jar, sitting on desk at
office, or on home table. strikes home
to the hearts and bosoms of smokers.
