SACASA'S AID
SAYS BRITAIN
and U. S. PLOT
British Charge Thinks
May Recognize Diaz
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON - Collision be-
tween the governments Of the United
States and Great Britain in robbing
Nicaragua of her independence and
her last chance for freedom is seen
by DIR. T. S. Vaca, agent in Washing
ton for the Sacasa Liberal govern
ment of that republic, in the sending
of British warship to Corinto.
Just after. President Coolidge had
explained to the press, through his
mythical spokesman, that he saw
nothing improper in the British move,
DIR. Vaca issued statement.
England Follows U. S.
at is ridiculous and too absurd to
believe that England would make the
least move in the Caribbean region
without previous and full accord with
the United States, especially in Mica
ragua where Intervention has grown
far beyond its stated aims.
"The cooperation of the British
charge d'affairs was obtained from
the beginning TO ask protection for
his subjects Of the American minis
ter, in order to justify the landing of
marines.
Funny Monroe Doctrine
"This is the first time, though, that
a European power is taken into ac-
tive cooperation to help justify the
policy of the United States toward
an American nation, and seems quite
a departure from the ways of James
Monroe.
ut is regrettable that the foreign
diplomats at Managua FASTENED to
recognize a regime that so publicly
has confessed from the beginning its
inability to protect their system"
This last shot is aimed at Adolfo
Diaz's appeals for American armed
forces to maintain him in power-ap-
peals issued when he was recognized
last November and repeated in mid
February when he was in danger of
complete collapse and was ready to
sign a treaty for a 100-year sur
render to the United States Of sover-
eign power in Nicaragua. Diaz's
minister at Washington has published
the surrender terms.

BENTON, H.. July 21.--Judge
Charles Miller today denied a motion
for a continuance and new trial for
Charles Burger, southern Illinois gang
ster chief, sought on the ground that
Art Newman. a former aide. and CO.
defendant. had made confession i'm
picating Birger in a conspiracy to
murder Mayor Joe Adams of West
City.
Newman today was prepared TO tell
his version of the fatal shooting OF
Mayor Adams at the trial here OF
Burger. Newman and Ray Hyland
Newman outlined to newspaper re-
porters the story which he said he
intended TO tell on the witness stand.
Il Joined Burger for protection
against the Shelton gangsters. who
had shot at me and swore to kill me. "
he said.
Il was present at Shady Rest

Joe Adams.

No, Art. Why I said in an under
tone, because Birger was standing
near, If you1l take a fools advice

Upon the opening OF court Birger's
attorneys filed a motion consisting Of
nine typewriter pages, asking with
drawal OF the jury and continuance
OF the trial. The motion was based on
the contention that Burger had Just
learned of confessions which Newman
declared he made to a st. Louis news.

Pritchard of Franklin County. Attor-
ney Charles A. Karch declared the
Burger defense was ''surprised' to
hear of Newman's admission and had
had no time to get witnesses to COM
bat his confession"

States Attorney Roy Martin then
arose and pointed to the record Of the
trial in which Burger had made the
confessions" OF Newman the basis of
q motion asking separate trial from
Newman's.
And yet they say they are sur.
prised' to hear that Newman has con.
fessed," Martin shouted. 81 wouldn't
be surprised if it were a move on the
part Of the defendants to defeat JUS

Martin denied that any confessions

From the London Mai

from the London Mail.
Innocent, frogs that ate too much
caused the mystery of long-lived am.
phibians. according to William Boyd
Dawkins. the English naturalist.
Finding Of live frogs inside Of rocks
many years ago established the the.
DRY that the hoppers had lived there
for centuries without food.
Dawkins announced recently that
frogs had no more chance of living
while sealed up than men under such
conditions. Eight of the frogs found
were inclosed in a casing of hard grid
stone, and biologists say there were
no frogs in the world when gridstone
was formed.
Dawl<ins surnised that the frogs,
when little, crept into assures and ate
so many insects that they became so
fat that they could not get out before
the assure was sealed by sediment.
He declared the frogs thus fattened
could live a year without food, and
that the specimens were found before
the year had expired.
