SMITH CASE NOW
 IN SECOND ROUND
Elections Committee to Consider
 Illinois Dispute at Once
Washington. Jan. 22 R,-Flanked

Washington Jan. 22 R'-Flanked by a host of attorneys whose exact plans were shrouded in mystery Frank L. Smith. of Illinois, faced the second round today of his bat tie for admission to the senate.
 The scene was switched from the floor of the senate, which on We'd nesday refused Smith the oath of office by majority of Is votes, to the closely barred sanctum of the elections committee, whose members had been caiied, together with the senator designate and his advisers, to pry open the inquiry into the qualifications of Smith.
 Although it had been announced by Chairman Enrst that the first session of the committee would be an executive one to determine a plan of procedure, this was not eX pected to take up much time. and then the investigation itself was to get under way to determine wheth- CT Smith disqualified himself by spending s250,000 in his primary campaign. most of which came from public utilities officials.
 Indications of hot fight were seen in the intentions of Smiths attorneys to resist any at tempt to conduct the inquiry beyond the question of validity of the Small appointee's credentials. Some con- mittee members had said that if a reported demand were made by At torney General Carlstrom of Hi nois, to seat Smith on the ground that his constitutional qualifications had been met, motion would be made to consider the report of the Reed committee which uncovered the contributions to his campaign.
 These committeeman believe Smiths appointment to the unexpir- ed term of the late Senator McKin- ley grew out of his election last November to the congress begin nir.g after March 4, and that the senate should investigate the acts connected with that election. Other members feel the inquiry should not concern itself with Smiths creden- tials, since they were in proper form. but should confine it's decision to whether Smith countenanced cer- tain activities in his primary cam paign regarded as of sufficient grounds for barring him from the senate.

PLAYS MANCHESTER

New Britain High School Basketball Team the "Underdog" in Today's Contest.
 For the first time this season the
 New Britain high school basketball team will go into a game as the
 "underdog". In the game with the
 South Manchester high school team
 at the Senior high school gymnasium this afternoon at 3 o'clock, South
 Manchester will be the favorite. When 16 players were ruled out
 because they played with outside
 teams, the position hit the hardest was that of center. Frank McGrath.
 the teams pivot man, James Scully,
 John Reid and Fred Saunders were all experienced centers but they were
 cut off the squad. Coach Cassidy has
 had to call on Fred Zehrer, guard, who has not played center since his days at Central Junior high school
 to play the position.
 One of the peculiar sidelights of i the already unusual situation is that Louis Landino who will play at for
 ward held down that position at the Junior high school when Zehrer
 played center.
 A record crowd is expected at the game this afternoon to see how the team will work out without it's starr The players are going into the game , determined to fight hard in victory
 or defeat and 1t is expected that tho fans will be in back of them to man.

MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY
This is Title That Has Been Given 10 Archbishop Diaz, Exiled from Mexico.

Guatemala City, Jan. 22.-UP)- Mexico's man without a country"- Archbishop Pascual Diaz. of Tabas- co, whose whereabouts until yester- day were unknown since he fled from Mexico City after his arrest there two weeks ago-today was wondering whether he would pro- ceed to Cuba, the United States or Salvador.
 Since his departure from Mexico City, under mysterious circum- stances, he had been sought by Catholics fearful for his safety.
 Salvatore and Cuba were sug- gested as possible hiding places for the bishop during his temporary exile. He was permitted to enter Guatemala only on the condition that he would remain within its borders only long enough to cross the country.
 Diaz was eXiled from Mexico on a charge of having melted revolution ist activities there.

COOLIDGE AGAIN
 STATES POLICY
Still Believes Mexico Should Pay
 for Lands Taken

Washington, Jan. 22 P-Coinci- dent with the placing in operation of the new alien property land law in Mexico under which only native born Mexicans are permitted to own land in that country, the position of the Coolidge administration in deal ing with the dispute over this and Mexicos new petroleum law is again affirmed as being concerned solely with the question whether American property can be taken without being paid for.
 President Coolidge feels that this fundamental question has been over- looked by the majority of the Ameri- can people in considering the issues involved in the controversy and that critics of his policy generally have confused their minds by paying too much attention to the insignificant angles of the principles in dispute.
 In considering the possibility of arbitration, it is said on behalf of MT. Coolidge that the necessity of according full protection to Ameri- can property rights has been and will be the chief concern of the Washington government in any at tempt to settle the issues. The less important angles would be easy of solution, he feels, once the funda- mental question of the sanctity of vested rights is disposed of.
 Officials here continue to main- tain silence on the subject of arbi- tration, adoption of which by the United States Has been proposed by the senate foreign relations commit tee in approving the Robinson reso- lution.
 With the expiration of the one year period of Grace in which for eigners in Mexico were allowed to register their declarations of land ownership. both the land and oil laws over which there has been ex- tended diplomatic correspondence between the United States and Mex ico are now in effect. Whether any seizures of American property will take a place under them without compensation to owners is ques- tion with which officials here are deeply concerned.
 Under the alien land law, the Mexican government may grant property rights to foreigners who renounce the right of appeal to their home governments for protec- tion in case of disputes. Registra- tion under the law, it is understood, will be construed as acceptance of it's provisions, including renuncia- ton of the right of appeal. while failure 10 register automatically re- moves that right.
 Reports from Mexico City said that the extent to which foreigners filed declarations throughout the country yesterday would not be known until reports are tabulated. Meanwhile, it is felt that the situa- ton will bring no developments un- til a test case is given the courts.
 As to the oil situation, all but 29 of the la7 oil companies doing busi- ness in Mexico are reported by the department of industry at Mexico City as having accepted the new petroleum laws. A statement by the department did no, mention those companies which have not sought confirmatory or preferential concessions. but said it was hoped the resistance of the "rebellious companies will gradually dissipate.

SCHOOLS TAKE UP
 NUTRITION WORK
City Department to Carry Out
 Red Cross LabOrS

Members of the school board, at a special meeting yesterday afternoon voted to accept the report of the school accommodations committee relative to the taking over of the nutritionist department and financ- ing its undertakings. The department has functioned for two years under the auspices of the Red Cross.
 In making the recommendation Mrs. Fife G. Kimball, chairman of the health and sanitation commit tee, said that the s3000 entered in the school departments budget was necessary as a salary for the nutri- tionist, Miss Elizabeth Beye. and for incidentals in connection with the work of the department.
 Supt. S. H. Holmes explained the work of the department and said that since the school department is to take over the work it would be better, he thought. If the benefits ware extended to more children. The matter of accommodations for more atypical children was discussed at length. It was brought out that the Walnut Hill school cannot accom- modate many more students.
 Wants Sun Parlors
 Before the meeting Mrs. kimball asked If it were not possible for sun parlors to be constructed in schools where children could get the benefit of sunshine. Mir. King explained that the Vance school was planned so that a sun parlor could be construct ed on the roof.
 In passing a vote of approval on the regular budget of $1,155,051. the only item discussed was the repair appropriation. The fact that the school buildings were worth more than s4,000,O0 and that the average laid out in any business for the re- pair and upkeep is three per cent was brought out. Only one per cent or s40,000 was allowed by the fi- nance board last year although the committee asked for s50.00o. The committee will request the same amount this year, it voted.
 Junior H. S. Need Extensions
 The senior and junior high schools arc both in need of extension at an early date, in the opinion of School Board Chairman Patrick F. King, who explained that within a year the accommodations added to the Central and Nathan Hale junior high schools will be used up and that a similar situation will be found at the Senior high school.
 He added that the greatest need in school accommodations at the present time is a new building for junior high school students and a new building for senior high school pupils.
 Chairman George w. Traut of the finance committee, at a special meet ing of the school board yesterday afternoon asked for permission to spend s3,000 for reconstructing sev- eral rooms at the Central Junior high school into five needed class rooms. He said the accommodations were greatly needed since the en- rollment will be increased by about 150 students. Permission was granted.
 It is the plan of the committee, Mir. Traut said. to cut dining room, a large mechanical drawing room and a cooking room into the necessary classes. The work will be done under the direction Of the school building inspector. John E.. Downes.
