Rejection of DiaZ
Proposal Forecast

Washington, March 12.-tR-Such
treaty as that proposed by Presi-
dent Diaz of Nicaragua, setting up
virtually an American protectQrate
over that country for 100 years, is
not the sort desired by the United
States under its policy to help stabi-
lize conditions in Central America.
in the belief Of President Coolidge.
Announcement of his position at
the White HOUSE yesterday clearly
foreshadowed rejection Of the Diaz
proposal.
The president feels that while the
Washington government is prepared
to assist any Contra. American coun-
try in any way it can, while at the
same time maintaining its own rights
and those Of its nationals, Nicaragua
and her neighbors should be permit
ted to work out their own national
problems.

Denver, March 12.-tR-Rocky
Mountain states today were buried
under deep snowdrifts following a
.hree-day storm which last night GEN.
tered in Colorado to block railroads
'1und highways.
The storm reached blizzard propor-
tons to isolate several Colorado
towns. All trains were delayed on
the Colorado Springs lines south Of
mere, while nearly hundred motor
lists deserted their automobiles at
Palmer Lake.
Passengers were rescued from
busses near Greeley, Colo, after
workmen battled drifts several hours.
Roads in that section were closed by
snow driven by 5O-mile wind.
Cripple Creek was completely iso-
lated. Snowbanks 10 feet in height
blocked streets at Julesburg.
Mail Plane Forced\ Down
Three inches of snow made travel
difficult in Wyoming. The east
bound air mail plane was forced
down near Rawlins.
From two to six inches Of snow
was reported in northern New Mex.
ico The storm extended as far south
'as Douglas, Arizona, which was un-
usual.
A wet snow also interfered with
travel in western Kansas and Me-
braska. Rain was general over Mis-
souri,, eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and
NtnOrthern Teaxs.
While cattlemen declared the storm
was the worst in five years, and
probably would cause considerable
loss, farmers welcomed the snow as
an aid to spring wheat and other
crops.

AUTO LICENSE
BUREAU WORKS
AT TFULLSPEED
Licenses Now Being Issued at
Rate Of $500 a Day-TO-
tai to Reach 175,OOO

With the approach of spring
weather farmers have been tuning
up" their automobiles for another
seasons use. with the result that the
state department Of motor vehicle
registration is flooded daily with IL
cense applications.
Licenses are being issued at the
rate Of 1900 day. according to F.
B. Ingstad, motor vehicle registrar,
and will continue to be given auto
mobile owners in large numbers for
the next two months.
$4,000 Sets Issued
SO far about $4,000 plates have
been mailed to owners. The final
total is expected to reach close to
the 175,00O mark.
Only scattered applications were
received during January and Febru-
ary. according to Ingstad, and consc-
quently the department is almost
overloaded now by people who wish
to use their cars.
Owing to this and the great num-
Der Of licenses still to be issued, in
spectors will probably not comm ence
checking up on automobile owners
who failed to get licenses for a
month or so Ingstad said.
New Law to Make More Work
The department is anticipating a
heavv amount of work when the new
certificate-of-title law takes effect.
Under the act passed by the legisla-
ture at its recent session. all auto
mobile owners will be required to OBJ
tain certificates of title. These must
be kept in the drivers compartment
of each motor car. Transfers Of
sales under the new law, after it
takes effect, will not be legal unless
the owner has a certificate of title.
This act, when it becomes effec-
tive. is expected to provide an easier
method Of checking stolen cars, and
in keeping an accurate tally on Sec
ond hand dealers.

Chicago. March 12.-(P)-Twu of
three Mexican convicts, who escaped
from the county Jail at Joliet in a
spectacular prison break, were cap
tured here today after they had
wounded two policemen and cab
driver.
One Of the Mexicans, Gregorio Rizo,
was probably fatally wounded in an
exchange Of shots with police. The
other man taken was Roberto Torrcz.
while police still were seeking q third
member of the trio, Bernado Roa.
While three companions of the con-
victs were holding off guards and
police in their cell at Joliet, to be
subducd eventually by tear bombs.
the three Mexicans made their way to
Chicago in a stolen machine, which
broke down on the city outskirts,
where the fleeing men commandecrcd

Shots Exchanged
As they clattered through south
side streets. holding prisoner
Joliet Jail guard they had brought
with them, a police squad attempted
to stop the machine and in an ex-
change Of shots two patrolmen, Will
liam Frost and George Grant, and
the taxi driver, John Marcinah of In
diana Harbor. were wounded.
The Mexicans abandoned the ma
chine and fled. Rizo later was dis
covered in an alley, attempting to
enter garage, and was taken by a
police squad. Tordez, found in a
yard with two Mexican children, at
tempted to flee when a policeman
started to question him, jut was halt
ed by several shots.
The six were members Of band
Of seven who escaped last May after
killing Peter NJ. N. Klein, deputy
warden Of the model new penitentiary
at Statewide. All but one Of the band
subsequently was captured, returned
to prison, tried and sentenced to be
hanged.
B. coincidence, one Of the dates
set for the execution was this morn
ing, but an appeal to the state su-
preme court gave them a respite.
; Americans in Group
The sextet included three Amerf.
cans and three Mexicans and it was
the latter trio that got away; taking
q deputy with them as q cover, and
made their way to Chicago in q stolen
automobile.
The ,six had been confined in the
county jail at Joliet since their con-
victi0n and it was there that the three
Americans finally were subdued un-
der a barrage of tear gas bombs. AFT
er they had held off large force OF
police and guards for several hours.
Jail officials had turned off eli
lights in the Jail, and, advancing
through the darkened building, the
attackers captured the trio without
