Sought To Avoid Break.

The Department of State has sought
to prevent any open break with the
chairman of the Senate foreign rela-
tons committee. but the expressed
difference of opinion means that there
will have to be definite cleavage so
that the policy of the Executive, who
is alone responsible under the Consti-
tuition for acts of recognition, VIII not
be considered abroad as having been
weakened.
Unfamiliarity with the history of
the dispute is given as the chief rea-
son for the Borah opposition at this
time. Also, the American Govern
ment has had reason to believe that
Juan SacaSa would be the tool of
Mexico if he ever obtained power as
President of Nicaragua. With the
American right to an interoceanic
canal guaranteed by a treaty that
might be repudiated by an unfriendly
regime in Nicaragua and with the
prospects of further extension of
Mexican influence between the south
ern border of Mexico and the Panama
Canal. the President and Secretary of
State are determined that the recos
milton they have extended to Presi-
dent DiaZ of Nicaragua shall be
given their continued moral support
as an example to the rest of the Cen
trail American countries as well as to
Mexico that coalition with anti-Amer
lean agitators in Mexico is not CON
sidered q friendly act toward the
United States.

REV. .P.L. DELGADO
VANISHES FROM
DOUGLAS HOME

Rev. Pablo L. Delgado, minister of
the Mexican Presbyterian church of
Douglas, who some months ago issued
a signed statement to The Dispatch
predicting the starting of the Mexican
rebellion in Chihuahua, has disap-
peared, as have also his wife and two
children.
Rev. Chauncey Foreman, of the
American Presbyterian church, under
whose jurisdiction DelgadoN worked
here, has made an investigation and
reports that there is no trace of either
the minister or his family
Delgado was an official under Gen
eral Carranza in the Mexican revolt
some years ago and at that time was
in charge of the municipality of
Juarez, Chihuahua. He was the only
official in that state at that time
remaining loyal to Carranza
Postoffice authorities were the first
to discover the absence of Delgado and
his family from the rectory. The dis
covery was made when mail addressed
to Delgado was not received into the
building, Their investigation brought
out only that the entire family is miss
ing.
The police have been notified and are
quietly sizing UP the situation. At the
time that Delgado made his statement
in which he named several prominent
Mexicans whom he stated would be
high officials of defacto government,
open threats against him were made
by officials and adherents to the Gales
regime and there is fear here that the
minister and his family may have been
abducted.

THE BLACK BOX"
(Kokomo Despatch)


The h-heralded opening of D.
G. Stephensons ''Black Box" the re-
ceptacle supposed to contain an as
founding amount of T. N. T. capable
of blasting the regulations and ca
reers of numerous high officials in
Indiana, apparently is at hand.
What it contains, and the potency
of its contents, are questions yet to
be answered for the public.
Monday, in a copyrighted article.
The Indianapolis Times published
what purported to be photograph
of a check, drawn on bank at
Columbus, o., by D. G. Stephenson
and payable to Governor Ed. jack
son. The amount of the check was
$4,000 and a note appended to the
check according to The Times, said
that the check was the first of four
such checks given to the Governor.
The photograph Of the reverse side
Of the purported check showed that
it either had been Endorsed by Gov
ernor Ed. Jackson or that a clever
forgery had been executed. The
stamps of the various banks through
which the check had been cleared,
we're also shown on the reverse side.
In an article accompanying the
photographs, The Times declared
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-14

that the check is in its possession,
having been delivered to it upon or
ders from Stephenson by his attor-
ney, Lloyd o. Hill. The Times also
declared that other damaging docu-
ments are in its possession, and are
to be published.
The Governor, reached by long
distance telephone at Ossawatomie,
Kan, absolutely declined to say any,
thing concerning this newest de-
velopment.
There may be more potent eXplo-
sions to follow, of course. But any
thing relating to contributions to
Governor Jackson's campaign fund
by D. c. Stephenson in 1924 does
not appear at the present time to
be particularly vicious. The asser-
ton, of course, is that Governor
jackson failed to make a report of
these contributions. But it is to be
borne in mind that even if State Of
ficials are required by law to make
report of all campaign contribu-
tons, that the statute of limitations
already has interviewed 10 prevent
prosecution.
The public has been told before
that such checks were in existence,
but no proof was forthcoming, or at
least II it was. it was smothered by

Can he not see that the citizens
