U. S. TO insure
FAIR ELECTION
In NICARAGUA
Kellogg. Informs Borah.
That Voters Will Be Reg
istered Honestly

WASHINGTON Oct. (P-Secre-
tary Kellogg today assured Chairman
Borah, of the senate foreign relations
committee, that the American govern
ment not only would supervise the
next August presidential election in
Nicaragua, but also the registration OF
voters in advance of the election.
Supervision means not merely the
preservation of order at the time of
the election" Secretary Kellogg wrote,
"but sufficient control over the
preliminary steps, including registra-
ton. to see that everybody entitled
to vote has an opportunity to yegister
"In other words, the registration is
vital We can not, of course, con-
template the holding Of an election
in Nicaragua on the basis of previous
registration lists. So tar as the de-
partment and General t"soCoy (Presi
denL Cooiidge's special. commissioner
to Nicaragua are concerned, this
matter seems vital to us as it does
to you. You may depend upon it
that every effort will be made on our
part to eliminate fraud and intimi-
dation and to guarantee to every
citizen of Nicaragua his rights in
this matter
Secretary Kellogg's letter was in
reply to one from Senator Borah
saying that he had been advised that
the majority of Nicaraguan citizens
were not registered as voters and that
by reason of manipulation heretofore
had at some previous time in the
history of the country, registration
had not been had to. any marked
extent"
General Emiliano Chamorro, former
president of Nicaragua, who is now
in washington, has conferred re-
Gently with Senator Borah regarding
affairs in his country, but the senator
said the matter of supervision OF
registration and election in the Latin
American republic had not been dis
cussed.
While the foreign relations COM
mittee chairman would not discuss
the conference further, it is under
stood that General Cnamorro is in

BRITISH'L LABOR LAYS TROUBLES
BEFORE AMERICAN FEDERATION

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5 (P =
British labor laid its troubles be-
fore the American Federation of
Labor today and pleaded the cause
of an international federation of
wOrkingmen.
In addition, Will Sherwood, one
of Eng'and's fraternaI delegates to
the fedcratiOns' 47th annual con-
ventiOn here, asked Americas
hosts of labor to lend support to
curtailment of armament and lay
the foundation for brotherhood
of nations which would forever
prevent war.
He told more than $50 delegates
from North America and Europe
that of every 20 shillings derived
in England by taxation, IL shill-
ings, pence went toward paying
the war debt of 8OO,OOO,OOO pounds
sterling or to building new arma-
ment.
After reviewing the political,
economic and social conditions of
his country, Sherwood took up the

postwar situation in which Eur
Ope found itself. He said that
when the question Of rebuilding
the mercantile marine was viewed
from the standpOints Of both Eng
land and Germany, the question Of
who actually won the war was
often discussed.
There was twinkle in the
BritOn's eye when he turned to
President William Green Of the
federation, and asked:
"Mr. President, / wonder who
really did win that war;"
Whatever he said just afterward
was lost in the wave Of applause.
The convention adjourned after
the morning session until tOmOr-
row at $3.50 a. M, giving way to
the program of entertainment
scheduled for the afternoon.
John p. Frey, secretary of the
metal trades department of the
federation, one of its four big
units, is scheduled to talk tOmOr-
row on the federatiOn's wage
policy.

NOGALES, Ariz., Oct 5, lR-Riot-

A number were killed, the total not

Players AnQHze Big Victory Of the Yankees
Douglas Fans See
Games As Played
On Dispatch Board

on to play the third game on the
Yankees home grounds.
The crowd was obviously pro-Pirate.
Whenever the Pittsburgh aggregation
scored an unexpected point or two
on the magnetic ball field, a cheer
arose from the audience. When New
York scored there were cheers, of
course, but of lesser volume.
Today's game is scheduled to start
promptly at 1870 a. M, as did yes
terday's, which was over at 1:30
Douglas time. Yesterdays crowd ar
rived early, many OF the spectators
an hour before the game began. One
row of ball fans sat along the south
curb of 18th street for a distance
of 200 feet while perhaps so more
sat cross-legged OH the concrete
sidewalk. Others, including many
woman, stood against the walls OF
buildings or nlilled in and out of the
crowd as they watched the game.
The magnetic player board operated
with almost 1G0 per cent efficiency.
The four operators had been well
rehearsed and the only bitches we're
occasioned by lost balls when at times
the powerful magnet behind the field
lost its pulling power in the excite
ment of close play.
Directly behind the player board
was an automatic telegraph typewriter
hooked up by Associated Press wire
direct with the Pittsburgh bali park,
AZ the play by play account was
typed automatically on ticker tape
it was transmitted to the operators
OF the board. On the board the play
ers and the metal ball were guided
through every movement of the game.
only a minute or two behind the
actual play some 1000 miles away.
While the game moved along play
by play OH the magnetic field, an
adjoining scoreboard recorded each
hit, run and error against the name
of each player in order that the
late comers might at glance under
stand the state of affairs. Through
out the afternoon many fans stopped
on 18th street to examine the score
board which still displayed the de-
tailed record of what had happened
in Pittsburgh.
Today's game will be played on the
HldSIleG4C DodIu III SAdCUly Ile SdLuS
manner, with, perhaps, higher de-
gree of efficiency Subsequent games
will be reproduced daily until the
series is finished, each beginning at
1870 a. M. except Sundays game
in New York. at noon, if it is played.
In the event that seven games are
necessary to decide the championship,
the last game will be played Tuesday
unless inclement weather necessitates
postponement.

TAX and DEBT
REDUCTION | N
TREASURY Plan

WASHINGTON, Oct. (R-Re-
ductiOn of both taxes and the pub
lie debt are expected to be in
cluded in treasury department
recommendations to congress at
the next session.
While treasury officials declined
today to discuss the details of the
proposed recommendations, they
will attempt to strike a compro-
mise between the demands for
both heavy debt retirement and
substantial tax reduction.
The statement from the White
House yesterday that President
Coolidge regarded retirement of
the public debt as of prime i'm
pOrtance has dampened the hopes
of those who had expected a big
slash in taxes. Supporters of
debt retirement, however, do not
expect to keep up the pace reach
cd in the last fiscal year when the
debt was curtailed $1,1S1, ,3O9, 1888
by application of the entire sur
plus. At the same time, they hope
to bring the retirement this year
above the normal reduction of ap-
proximately S5S7,OOO,OOO that will
accrue from the two permanent
sources Of debt retirement, the
sinking fund and foreign debt
payments.
Treasury officials pointed out
that they cannot make an accurate
forecast Of the extent to which
tax reduction could go until the
departmental estimates of ex-

State Department Unaware
of Treasury Action Until
Taken.

WASHINGTON Oct. 5, R)-The
treasury took an unexpected hand in
the Franco American tariff debate
today with the announcement that
customs collectors had been directed
to impose on list of French imports
increases in duty equal to the i'm
creases fixed by France on similar
American products on Sept 6. The
department said its action was a
routine matter and did not involve
section BIT of the tariff act which
provides for retaliatory duties in
case of tariff determinations against
the United States, but was taken un-
der specific provisions of the tariff
schedules themselves.
Inquiry at the state department,
where the American reply to the last
French tariff note still is in prepara-
ton, with hopes that means of
adjusting the situation created by
French tariff determinations might
have been found, developed that the
diplomatic branch of the government
did not know of the treasury action
until after the public announcement
had been made. What effect the
treasurys course may have on the
diplomatic negotiations no official
cared to say.
The articles upon which the in
crease of duty is ordered by treas
ury instructions are automobiles and
bicycles and their parts, paper board
and other cardboard products, brick

The Pirates dove behind locked

Shanghai. Feb. -fP)-The down.

the result of major defeat suffered
BY his troops on the southern battle

the troops Of Marshal Sun, defender

by the onrushing southern army was
received here today.
Incoming reports failed to make
clear the details of the sudden and
unexpected turn Of events. The Cam

adopted other tactics similar to those
used at Kiukiang last November,
bringing Marshal Sun on the verge of
complete collapse and causing him to
lose not only Kiukiang but the whole
of kiangsu and Kiangus provinces.

Chucow, had been cut by sudden

early heaviness and moved forward

The weekly steel trade reviews re-

ther easing in prices, which are now
at the low level reached in 1922.
Additional automobile and tire cuts
tended to dampen speculative ardor
for those groups. but the prompt sale
of the so ,000, 900 preferred stock Of
