BANGOR SUFFERS
 HUGE FIRE LOSS
Damage in Business District
 Fixed at $1,M,0M

Bangor, Me, Feb. 14 CP-A s1,- oOO,OoO fire that threatened the en- tire business district of this city and destroyed four large buildings was brought under control early today after a four hour battle in which calls for assistance were sent to many surrounding cities and towns.
 It was the worst blaze since the disastrous fire of 1911 which swept more than PTS residences beside many of the citys most important structures.
 Smouldering embers were all that remained today of the Coe building, the Y. w. c. A., the Hatch building and a smaller structure. Both the Hatch and the Y. w. c. A. buildings which were four story brick blocks, had a large number of mercantile establishments on their street floors.
 The city hall had damaged roof but the building itself was saved after hard fight.
 At the height of the blaze militia was ordered out and patrolled the streets to clear the way for fire ap- paratus and hold the crowds in check.
 The fire was discovered in the Coe building at Columbia and Cross streets but it had gained great head way before the first alarm could be sounded. For a time the structure which houses the Bangor Conner cial and which is directly opposite 1 from the Coe building was endanger- l ed.
 All of property destroyed was owned by the E. s. Coe estate. An investigation into the origin of the fire was started today.

 Ritualistic dancing was suspended at St. Mary sin -the-Bouwerie after a controversy between Bishop Will liam T. Manning and Dr. Guthrie over the feature.
 Revival of the dances, Dr. Guthrie says, it not defiance. II merely call it sticking to my guns" he as- serts. Suspension was necessary, he explains, "because the hue and cry raised, in the newspapers had the church people confused"

 The Thinkers association was or ganized ten days ago after the Dem yer university student council voted to cancel an address by Judge Lind sey before the student body. Young business and professional men and women as well as students were in- vited to join. Encouragement of free discussion of ideas and theories was the announced purpose of the association.
 Not Favoring Free Love
 Judge Lindsey has appeared sev- eral times recently in debates to clarify his stand on proposed trial marriages as a solution to increases in divorce suits. Judge Lindsey ex- plained he did not favor free love" as many persons believed after hear ing reports on his plan. He said he favored trial marriages in some in- stances, but only under strict regu- lations.
 Debate on Judge Lindsey's pro- posal has been enlivened by the re- cent state supreme court decision holding he was illegally elected two years ago. The court threw out ball. lots from one precinct which would have given a majority to his oppo- nent. and declared his office vacant. A petition for a rehearing is pending
 When ministers and religious or ganizations in various parts of the country took exception to his plan, Judge Lindsey invited any minister to meet him in debate. pr. Jenkins prominent Kansas City pastor and for a time editor of the Kansas City Post, accepted. The subject tenta- lively selected was:
 Can the present institution oi marriage be improved?"
 Judge Lindsey characterized the attack on Batschelet as lone of the most infamous, villainous things that ever happened in this community"
 T believe this outrage will mee1 with the condemnation that it de serves from all law-abiding citizen. who believe In fair play and ths rights of the American citizen under the constitution of free speech ant free discussion" he said.
 Police today were without clues ,t the identity of the floggers. Batsche' let was unable to give description of the men or the automobile.

DENVER STUDENT
 BRU7ALLY BEATEN
Warned Not to Permit Proposed
 Debate to Take Place

Denver, Col, Feb. 14 (P)-Ralph Batschelet, a leader in student af- fairs at Denver university and vice. president of The Thinkers associa- tion, today was confined to Mercy hospital here following a severe flog- ging last night by five masked men.
 Batschelet, also president of the sophomore class. said the men told him they beat him because the asso- citation had arranged a debate on marriage between Judge Ben E.. Lindsey, of the Denver juvenile court and the Rev. Dr. Harris A. Jenkins, pastor of the Linwood Boulevard Christian church of Kansas City.
 Police also were informed that two other members of the association had been threatened. Morris M. Grupp, an attorney and president of the association, told authorities he received a telephone call shortly after Batschelet was flogged threat ening him with similar punishment unless the debate. scheduled Febru- ary 27 was cancelled. Miss Margaret Barlow, secretary of the association, said she also had received a tele- phone call warning her to expect a beating if the meeting was held.
 Seized and Beaten
 Batschelet told officers he was seized while en route to the home of his fiance. He said the men carried him to an automobile and drove swiftly for several minutes. After warning him that his punishment was only sample of what would follow if the debate was permitted he was beaten until he nearly lost consciousness. He was left in a ditch by highway near Edgewater, a suburb.

between national governments, each
nation claims sovereign right to
legislate as it will with reference to
its domestic affairs.
THE right of a government to use
the processes of diplomacy in pro-
tecting the property of its nationals
from unwarranted injury is generally
recongnized. An to the method by
which that right should be eXer-
ciSed, serious question confrontS
the American people. Even granting
that the proposal to arbitrate the
dispute as an alternative to hostilities
ought ultimately to be accepted-and
it has been assumed in this report
that the moral obligation to find an
alternative to hoStilitieS is not open
to queStion-the fact remains that
the policy of the Mexican government
has inevitably become the subject of
representations on the part of the
state department. The immediate
question before the American gov
ernment is how far such diplomatic
measures may properly go. This
problem most be stuffed not only in
the light of American interests, but
also against the background OF the
humanitarian aims of the Mexican
revolution and the struggle of the
Mexican people to realize them.
TN its sovereign capacity, the
United States might suspend diplo-
matte relations, might lift the arms
embargo declared by President Cool
idge on January T. 1924. or might
actually declare war. There is no
power to restrain her.
But any action amounting to forcible
intervention in the internal affairs
of another nation, in such a case as
the present, whether it involves mill
tary measures or other means OF CO.
ercion, cannot derive it's sanction
from international law. Such action
must rest entirely upon consideration
of policy and the power of the nation
to enforce it's demands. When diplo-
matte pressure reaches the point
where it amounts to intervention in
the internal affairs of another nation,
the issue becomes moral rather than
legal
"In the issue thus presented to the
American people the churches OF
America have a vital stake, not SIM
plv because of their missionary inter
ests, but because of their concern for
justice, cooperation ana
good will"

OUT DRY LAWS

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May I8 (P--
Prohibition was blamed in part for
agricultural depression and charges
we're made that federal eniorcemenS
officers have made more money out
CT prohibition than anything else in
the house OF representatives OF the
Illinois general assembly today. The
debate preceded a so to 63 vote, TO
repeal the state laws to enforce pro-
hibition, including the search ana
seizure act.
The house previously had shown
its stand on the prohibition ques-
ton when it passed a resolution sew
eral weeks ago asking congress TO
call a national convention to con-
slider the repeal of the Volstead law
Today's measure now goes to the SEN
ate which in the past has been con-
servative but which recently has
shown more liberal frame of nina
so that supporters OF the measure
hope that it may reach the desk OF
the governor. If finally passed, the
question will go to a referendum OF

PARISIANS SEEK RELIEF

Sulphurous acid, experts say, ema-

De La Huerta Charged
With Conspiracy
Continued from Page One)

The arrest of the arms smugglers
comes as O. climax to the recent ac-
tivities of rebel synpathlzers IN tnlS
vicinity, those in touch With the m
yestigation of the case said tonight.
Last December Adolfo De La Huerta,
while in Tucson, was under the con-
slant surveillance OF the officers OF
the United States, and. on one vlslt
here. was detained" by the officers,
questioned and later freed when 1t
was said that he "had not violated
the neutrality laws"
For a time the matter quleted
down. Then the brother OF the for
mer president, Alfonso De La Huerta,
appeared in Tucson and later in
Nogales. With him were several
others, prominent in the De La
Huerta cause and the rumors once
more started regarding the activities
of the rebels and their friends on
this side of the border. 1t has been
known that the Yaqui Indians, every
time the opportunity offered, were
smuggling small quantities OF arms
and ammunition into Mexico to
their fellow tribesnen. Business men,
whose routine trips take them
through the Yaqui country, returned
saying that bands OF the Indians
met there were all well armed" but
poorly CLAD. Arms and ammunition
were not lacking among the rebell-
ing tribesmen.
Where the money for the ship
ments cames from was the puzzling
feature, for it was known that the
agents found that none OF the ship
nents seeping across the border were
/ large, a few cases here and there
at time being the extent OF the
operations. Then Breceda left San
Antonio and Gayou left the coast
at the same time the brother or DE
La Huerta and his friends appeared
in Tucson and the net OF the Tederal
agents began to close in on this city
the officers confident that the tWC
months chase was nearing an END.
Three nights ago, the trap was
/ sprung and the arrest OF three mer
followed. All were held III the coun-
ty Jail for the time being 1ncom-
municado. The arraignment before
the commissioner followed and the
charges against Adolto De La Huerta
we're filed.
