Tokyo Seeks to Renew
Overtures With France

WASHINGTON, March II (P).-Three-
power conference at Geneva on naval
armament limitation became assured
today with acceptance by Japan Of the
American informal proposals. British
acceptance was received yesterday.
Japanese acceptance was uncondi-
tional. 1t was accompanied, however,
by a direct gesture from Tokyo seek
ing to renew overtures to France and
italy to participate in the five-power
discussion originally suggested by
President Coolidge. Ambassador Mat
sudaira in advising Acting Secretary
Grew of his governments acceptance,
stressed the Tokyo belief that agree
ments to extend to tonnage limitations
to cruisers, destroyers and submarines
would be facilitated greatly should the
two European continental powers
find it possible to join in the discus
sions at Geneva. Japanese emphasis
French and Italian refusals as final
brought to the surface again evidences
of the strong hope entertained in
Washington that actually the Geneva
conferences will have five-power sig
nificance.
1t is apparent that there have been
informal interchanges with the French
and Italian governments and that the
belief is growing, particularly as to
Italy, that her participation is not as
unlikely as the tone of her note of re-
fusal might seem to indicate.
washington naval experts have al
ready prepared to present at the con-
ference American views completely on
every element of the problem. They
were in conference with Minister Hugh
Gibson, head of the delegation to the
Geneva preparatory commission on
disarmament, during his recent visit to
Washington, and additional naval
personnel will be added to the Geneva
delegation to permit carrying forward
both the preparatory commission and
the three power treaty negotiations

Sapiro one-time street gamin and

filed his suit against the motor king

articles that appeared in the Inde-

The declaration in the suit as

list in nearly two score states and
that irreparable damage had been
done his reputation with farmers of
America and Canada by the series of

SHANGHAI, March IL (P.--A grave
situation is brewing between. the Chi
nese government at Peking and soviets
of Russia over the seizure of the soviet
vessel Pamiat Lenina a week ago, and
the arrest of Nine Borodin, wife of the
adviser to the Cantonese government,
and three Russian couriers.
The soviet officials clearly mistrust
the assurances of the Chinese authori-
ties as to the safety of the captives
and fear that Nine. Borodin and her
fellow prisoners will meet short shift
should they fall into the hands of
White Russians attached to the north
ern army. Accordingly, the soviet
government has sent second and
sterner note to Peking, warning that
the soviet government will take ex-
treme measures should mischance be-
fall the Russians.
The note calls attention to lack of
definite information regarding the fate
of the Russians and says in conclus-
ion:
"Fhe embassy of the union of soviet
socialist republics hereby declares that
the Chinese government will bear full
responsibility for the safety of the
couriers and other persons detsined
and warns the Chinese government
that any violation of their safety
might certainly bring most serious con-
sequences and compel the soviet gov
ernment to appeal to exceptional
measures"
Foreign Minister wellington Koo at
Peking assured the soviet charge daft
faires, NJ. Chernyck that he had moth
ing to fear for the safety of the pris-
oners, who are being detained at Tsi-
nan.
Meanwhile, Great Britain and the
United States are concerned over the
disorders in the city of Wuhu, which
recently was captured by the Canton
ese. Riots broke out there Tuesday
and Wednesday and the customs house
was looted. American Minister Mac
Murray has directed the American con-
sui general at Hankow to draw up a
protest for presentation to the Can
tonese authorities against the looting
of American mission property at Wuhu,
while the British government has
made representations to Foreign Min
lister Eugene Chen regarding the dis
orders there, and asking him to pro-
tect British lives and property.

Trusts Trying to Mon
OpOlize All Water

WASHINGTON, March IL (P.-Plans
for arousing public opinion behind
Muscle Shoals and Boulder canyon dam
legislation at the next session of con-
gress were discussed today at an in
formal meeting of senator's and repre-
sentatives at the capitol.
After speeches had been delivered
by Clifford Pinchot, former governor
of Pennsylvania, who declared "the
power trusts are attempting to monop-
olize all of the water power of the
country" and Senators Norris, repub-
lican, Nebraska, and Johnson, republi-
can, California, sponsors of Muscle
Shoals and Boulder canyon dam legis-
lation, respectively, decision was
reached to keep the subjects alive dur
ing the summer by speeches from the
platform and the issuance of literature.
The meeting was attended by SEN
ators Nye and Frazier, North Dakota;
Norbeck, South Dakota; Howell and
Norris, Nebraska; Johnson, California,
and Borah, Idaho, republicans; Harris,
democrat, Georgia, and Representative
Swing, republican, California.
Before the meeting, Senator Cope
land, democrat, New York, predicted in
a statement that much attention will
be pai din the next session of congress
to the development of the giant power
companies and their attempts at seiz-
ure of the water supplies of the coun-
try
"The federal water power commits
sion and every other agency of gov
ernment having to do with the devel-
opment of power will be given an in
vestigation," he said.
"It is high time that the public came
to realize how it's natural resource
are going into private hands and be-
ing transferred to the great electric
monopoles Every governor should
follow the governor of my state in
guarding the water supplies of the
states.
so far as congress is concerned, [
shall join hands with every other mem
Der who is anxious to protect the
rights of the masses against these
monopolistic tendencies. In my opin-
ion, every member of congress should
be aroused to the increase in strength
of the electric monopoly. 1t is time
that the common citizen had his rights
protected, and as L view it, the power
trust must be brought to book"

NINE BANDITS
BLOW UP AUTO
WITH MONEY
Drivers and Guards On
ArmOred Cars Are
Knocked Unconscious.
MAKE ESCAPE
Blast Is Set Off With
Electric Battery On Pitts
burgh Road.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March II R-
Planting dynamite bombs expertly
under a highway, nine bandits today
wrecked two armored automobiles by
setting off the explosives as the
machines passed and escaped with a
100000 payroll of the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal company.
Most of the five drivers and guards
of the two cars, an armored truck
carrying the money and a lighter
escorting car, were knocked uncon-
scious by the blast, but one of them
regaining his senses, had a pistol
held at his head by one of the rob
bers until the others had gathered
up the money. All the custodians
of the payroll were injured, one
seriously.
The daring holdup occurred as the
payroll cars neared the Coverdale
mines. miles from Pittsburgh
Castle Shannon, three miles from
on Christmas, 1926 when a $4S,000
payroll of the same coal concern
was stolen. A guard was killed in
that holdup.
All officers in western Pennsy1.
vania tonight sought the robbers,
who were reported to have made
their escape in two automobiles.
State police and Allegheny county
detectives augmented by groups of
ether officers sped along the prln-
cipal highways searching for them,
while police in all towns were In
structed to he on the lookout. Cut
ting of all telephone lines in the
vicinity of the holdup gave the rob-
hers more than an hours start.
The robbery apparently was care
fully planned. Starting out with
S175,000 in the armored truck, $4,000
had been delivered to two mines
when the two machines, the second
acting as an escort, left the Library
road, q main highway, and turned
into the old Bethel road to deliver
the Coverdale payroll before pro-
ceeding to two other mines for the
same purpose.
Two charges of dynamite had been
planted in the Bethel road about 100
yards from the main highway AS
the cars passed over them, the two
bombs, about 80 feet apart were set
off with an electric battery by the
bandits hidden nearby. Both cars
were blown into the air, overturning
as they fell shattered wrecks near
holes several feet deep in the ground
where the dynamite had been placed.
Howard Blackstock, w. H Tarr and
Edward Herbster, were in the armor-
cd truck containing the money and
William Learzaf and Lester Staud-
niger were in the lighter machine
Blackstock, the most seriously in
jured suffered fractured skull when
he was blown from the car alighted
on his head. The injuries of the
others, who were also blown from
the machines were considered of a
minor character.
Tarr was the first to regain cons
sciousness. AS he climbed to his
feet, one of the robbers ran to him
and forced him at the point of a
pistol to lie face downward. While
the one bandit remained at Tarr's
side the others scooped up the
money, which was almost intact, in
the armored truck, placed it in two
automobiles and disappeared along
the old Bethel road.

COOLIDGE WILL
REJECT TREATY
OF NICARAGUA
President Believes Pro
posals for Protectorate
Are Undesirable

WASHINGTON, March IL B.-Re-
lection by the Washington government
proposals from President Diaz for a
treaty arrangement that would create
virtually an American protectorate
over Nicaragua was foreshadowed to-
day at the White House. President
Coolidge, it was explained, does not be-
lieve such treaty relationships, as are
outlined in the Diaz proposal, would
be desirable.
1t was emphasized that the presi-
dents policy still is to permit Nicara-
qua or any other Central American
country to work out it's own salvation,
although the Washington government
stands ready to aid in any way it can
and also intends to maintain it's own
rights in Nicaragua and the rights of
it's nationals.
Withdrawal of American marines
from Nicaragua, which preceded the
political disturbance that grew into
the civil war still distressing the coun-
try, was in line with the desire of
President Coolidge that the Central
American states find for themselves a
means to avoid continuous revolution
with attendant disorders and destruc-
tion of property.
There is no thought on the part of
the Washington government of alter
ing that general policy, whatever steps
it may be compelled to take to insure
it's own treaty rights and the lives and
property of it's nationals, particularly,
it was stated at the White House,
where there is any evidence of inter-
ference by any other power in the in
ternal affairs of the Central Amrican
group.
