PLANS FOR HILLS;
DEFENSE ARE MADE
Possibility of Obtaining Writ
of Habeas Corpus Consid-
cred by Attorneys.


OTTAWA, H., September 13.-Plans
for the defense of Harry Hill, Streator
youth accused of matricide, went for
ward today after La Sale County ofiil
Gals had failed in their first efforts
to obtain a confession from young Hill
by a grilling at the scene Of the crime
The prosecution will play no more
cards until the grand jury meets Oc-
tober 10, States Attorney Russell O.
Hansen said. Hansen is busy with
the trial here of Ray Zarneki, ac-
cused of killing his uncle.
Additional conferences among at
torneys retained in Hills defense were
expected today.
Hills story was unsf .ken, when he
was taken to the baSen tnt of the Hill
home at Streator early yesterday and
questioned for more 4aan an hour.
Standing over the sha,'ow basement
grave in which his Mother's body
had been found, Hill denied with con-
siderable heat the charge he had slain
her. and told the States attorney that
continued questioning was "a waste of
time"
The long conference of defense at
torneys yesterday is believed to have
dealt with the possibility of obtaining
writ of habes corpus for young Hill

Sometime today copy Of the mca-

President Dawes, as presiding Off
Ger of the senate, and Speaker Long
worth Of the house, is expected to be
transmitted by messenger to the
White House. No more formality in
this procedure is planned than if it
were any ordinary bill.
Under the constitution the presi-
dent has 10 days in which to veto or
sign the measure. Should he do
neither. it would automatically be
come a law.
Mr.. Coolidge undoubtedly will take
no action until he has conferred wit
Secretary Jardine and probably other
members of his cabinet. Because Of
this, several days are expected to
elapse before pronouncement. if
any, is made.
Vote Ends Nine-uO Session
Final action by congress came last
night after nine hours of feverish dis
cussion in the house during which
the bills supporters in steam roller
fashion crushed more than 100 at
tempts to change it.

TO NICARAGUA
Fear That American Lives
and Property Are in Danger
Brings Reinforcements

Washington, Feb. l8.-APl--Antic-
ipating that an impending clash be-
tween Diaz and Sacasa armies at
Matagalpa will jeopardize American
lives and property, the government
is concentrating additional forces in

A force Of 1900 marines is being
dispatched from four bases to the
Central American republic to be
placed under command of Rear Ad-
miral Julian L. Latimer, in charge Of
the special service squadron in Mic
araguan waters. Their arrival will
augment the marine troops in that
country to 1000 men, a detachment
Of 400 already being on duty Ut
Managua. the capital.
The American government is under
stood to regard the Matagalpa impend-
ing battle as a critical situation, not
only possible danger to its citizens
in Nicaragua, but also an important
crnx in the civil war now raging in
that Central American country.
Latest advices here indicate that DR..
Juan b. Sacasa. liberal claimant for
the presidency, probably is unable to
avert the impending conflict. Even
II Sacasa might wish to stop the

negotiations with President Adolf0
Diaz. it is On impression among Of
ficials here his, military leaders have
usurped whatever authority over the
army he formerly exercised.
For Precautionary Protection
The new marine forces probably
are destined TO be landed at CoriHto

miles from Manag =. the capital. They
are expected mainly to Be used for

can interests. while their duties my
