BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, February T.
Fiery speeches denouncing the United
States for it's attitude in the Mica
raguan situation were made at a
meeting of educators, workers and
students here last night.
One speaker went so far as to urge
that there be demonstrations against
Americans when the Pan-American
good will flyers reach Santiago and
when tourists from the United States
arrive. Three hundred American
tourists are due to reach Santiago
within a few days. They are on a
special tour to South American coun-
tries on the steamer Laconia.
The meeting was called not only to
protest against the attitude of the
United States but to voice disapproval
of the policies of Chile. A Communist
deputy, Ramon AlZamora, declared
that if a gun was placed in his hand
to fight against Peru because of the
Tacna-Arica controversy he would
fire against the "tyrants" Of his own
country.
AS the crowd left the theater at the
conclusion of the meeting there We're
cheers for Peru and for Chilean Peru

Bar Association to make the notifica-
ton.
Mr.. Bates spoke of the high charac-
ter of the deceased and of his legal at
tainments. He described Mr. Prentiss
as Of quiet, modest and retiring dis
position, but a studious lawyer, who
did not seek to force his opinion on the

was always interested in the welfare
of Washington.
In directing that the records of the
court show a notation of the death of

transfer his flag to another ship.
The admirals remarks had refer
ence to DR.. Juan Sacasa's assertion
that the Liberals would control
Nicaragua if the American forces re-
Trained from operations against them.
The recent battle at Rivas was an alb
solute Conservative victory. in the
opinion of Admiral Latimer, who
added that the Liberals were COM
pletely routed but he was unable to
say whether the effect of this defeat
would discourage the Liberal move
ment.
Aside from the Rivas engagement,
he had nothing to report, since, he
explained, there had been no other
fighting anywhere.
He refused to make predictions,
saying he did not know what the
Liberals or Conservatives ,oIao pav+

Lacking in Education

John Quincy Adams declined ia
attend the ceremonies at Harvard
college IN 1888 when the honorary
degree of doctor of laws was con
ferred upon Andrew Jackson. then
President of the United States.
His reason, according to his
diary, was that las an sffectionate
child of our alma mater, | would
not be present TO witness her dis
grace in comforting her highest lit
erary honors upon a barbarian who
could not write a sentence of gram
mar and hardly could spell his own
name
Adams estimate of Jackson has
been challenged by Or. Archibald
Henderson, who tells in the Raleigh
IN. O. News and Observer The re-
suit of his exhaustive researches
regarding Jackson's early life. He
finds that Jackson, as a boy, re-
ceived a better education than the
average child of his station In life.
Later he attended Waxham
academy. He continued his studies
in that part of Carolina known then
as New Acquisition, An account
Of the life Of Rev. Francis Cum
minis, once a teacher at Bethel, S.
o., shows that Jackson was u Of
his pupils, and there is evidence
that for q short time Jackson at

Columbus Debt to Wife

If it be true that there is a

to be justification 10 calling Dona
Felipa, the wife of Christopher Co

Of the mar who was later to dis
owe the western world.
When Columbus talked to her
about his exploration enthusiasts,
she was sympathetic and his ambi-
tion appeared to have found CRATE
full nurture at their 1resioe. There
is a tale of how Dona Isabella, Co
lumbus' mOther-in-law, produced an
old box containing maps and logs
piously kept relics of her hus-

is a mark of Bill allegiance, but it

have binding oaths, the most sacred
being that sworn by a dog, The Bhil

There vas great excitement IL
the Jones home out on Long island
A real lord was paying them 6
visit. He was now sitting at the
dinner table, and Mrs. Jones fiut-
tered as she urged my lord to eat
this and that.
Mr.. Jones, swollen with a sense
of the great honor bestowed upon
his household, began each sentence
with lord and ended II the same
way with a worshipful not to say
reverential air.
AS a special privilege-thA&ng
that he might talk about itsIk, his
maturer ~years-little Willie Jones,
aged five, had been permitted to
attend the function on condition
that he refrain from talking unless
spoken to. Mindful of this pledge,
the little fellow sat in silence, his
large, round eyes fixed In a stare
upon the face and form of the
stranger.
But when he saw the visitors
eye roaming hither and yOn across
the laden table as though seeking
something, an innate sense of hos
pitality moved him to speak.
"Moml Oh, mom!' said Willie.

mother.
