NO OBJECTION
BRITISH MOVE
IN NICARAGUA
President Overrides Objec
tons on British Sending
Cruiser South.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Presi
dent Coolidge secs no reason for
interposing objection 10 the British
Government dispatchins the cruiser
Colombo to Nicaragua for moral Ell
feet and protection of British lives
and property.
The President understands the
British and Italian nationals have
sustained property losses due to the
civil war in Nicaragua. The Presi-
dent feels that under the circulr-
stances the movement of the cruiser
to Nicaragua. although it is unusual
in Latin-American countries, so far
as European powers are concerned,
there is a distinction to be drawn
between the dispatch of a warship
to act as place Of refuge for for
eign nationals and any proposal BY
European Powers to land naval
forces to enforce debt collections or
other settlements of that character.

BOND ELECTION
IS CALLED FOR
| TUES, APRIL 10
Council Adopts Resolution
for Special Election on
School Bond Issue.

Local tax payers whose names are
on the assessment rolls for 1926
will vote Tuesday, April ~. on thc
matter of bonding the community loi
needed additional school housing
facilities. This was definitely settled
last night by the City Council at It's
recessed meeting.
A resolution for holding Il special
election, which under the law can
be participated in only by property
owners, ON April 10, was presented
by Dir. G. +. Freeburger and passed
with only one dissenting vote, Dr. X.
Simpson, who was in favor of com
bining the bond election with the
regular Municipal election on April
g.
Meeting Well Attended
The meeting drew out number
of citizens, the seating capacity OF
the Council Chambers being exhaust
ed. An overwhelming majority of
those present were apparently i'll
favor of segregating the municipal
election from the vote on the bond
issue.
1t was also clearly evident that
the sentiment for enlargement Of
present building facilities was over
whelming. Every speaker, council
men and citizens, emphasized the
need for expansion to take care OF
both present and future needs.
H.. lion ipir 10 ntt
that the two elections be combined
ON April 5, was opposed by Mayor
J. j. Connors who presented his rea-
sons concisely. His opposition was
based mainly on a desire to await
the outcome of efforts to have the
legislature increase the proportions
ate share of the Terrtory's partici-
patton in school maintenance. If To-
cal taxpayers know that part of this
burden, which is now heavy and con-
tinuously increasing, will be assunl-
ed by the Territory, Mayor Connors
said he was convinced they would
more willingly vote to bond the city
for additional facilities.
Taxed to Limit
He pointed out that the local tax
rate is now at the maximum allow
ed by law. He said assessments are
sufficiently high on all kinds of pro-
pcrty and he was not willing 10 i'll
crease them. The action of the legis-
lature, he said. would be of much
importance. 1t was believed any ac-
ton it might take would be known
by April 10.
City in Fine Shape
r. f. Robertson, member of School
Board, pointed out that the City by
March /, will have redeemed the en-
tire issue covering the present school
building. The community's finances,
he added. are in excellent. The only

SEWARD, Alaska, Feb. 90
The lives Of nearly 1000 men
are at stake as the halibut fleet
battles doggedly against de-
struction in a gale and snow
storm of unusual fury which
has swept across the North Pa
cific and threatened to wipe out
boats in its path.
Reports indicated that $50 Of
270 of the storm stricken boats
might never reach port.
Three battered and torn ves-
sells arrived here last night.
The storm hourly grew worse
and navigators said probably
only the staunchest vessels will
escape destruction. The storm
swept into Stewards harbor, tore
vessels lose from their moorings
and tossed them about the bay.
The Admiral Watson was in
imminent danger of being bat
tered to pieces against the dock
and sought safety at anchor in
the outer h1rbor.
The mail steamer Starr came
perilously near destruction when
it was swept to within SO feet
of the shore
Halibut boats are in danger
of being capsized by the noun
famous waves if they attempted
to ride at anchor and efforts
were made to reach protected
coves, holding against the risk
of being dashed on the rocky
shore.
As result of the storm, it is
said that virtually the entire
halibut industry on the North
Pacific Coast is at standstlll.

MRS. STOKES
IS PLANNING
TRIP ABROAD
Intends 10 Go to Europe Not
Forever, But Only to
Forget Troubles.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2G=Mrs. Helen
Elwood Stokes, widow OF W. f. d.
Stokes. is leaving America. not for
ever, but until memory dies. She
will take her mother, Mrs. Emma
Miller. and her two children with
her. Their new home will be Swit-
zerland. And when the memory OF
the last few years are erased then,
perhaps. they will return.
All this was learned from Mis-.
Stokes who quietly slipped into the
city a few days ago, coming IRON
Denver. She and her family are in
a suite at the Hotel Plaza where
they will remain until the sailing
date. This date she would not re
veal.
Denies Expatriation
Some of those who have cOnyersed
with Mrs Stokes recently reported
the widow of the late hotel Ansonia
owner as bit yindictiye toward her
native land. She WAS going away
forever, the reports said.
But this hrs. Sjokes denied. She
declared she would not expatriate
herself. She was only to stay away
until the memory of the long years
of litigation over marital diScord and
the later troubles over his estate
have been forgotten.
The titan haired beauty whose
hnan uirnH tIn1n and
again in the courts. said she would
place her two children, James, clev-
en- and Muriel, ten, i'll schools in
Switzerland and there live near them
quietly She was more than displeas-
ed that she had been found, but
said
I'm trying to slip away quietly
and avoid the notoriety that has
attached itself to my name because
, of the situations III which have
! been involved
Protects Children
"You cant blame me now If |
seek to protect myself and my chill
dren from all that at this time. We
! had to suffer for it before. We
! couldn't prevent it. 1t isn't true tina:
am going to live the rest of my
I life abroad but I'm going over there
and put the two children in day
school in Switzerland and live there
with them and my mother. Wen
stay until the memory OF the last
few years has been erased. and sc
please let there be no interviews and
pictures, this time.
Il feel now that l have already
started on my vacation from the
front pages. and that is why | want
you to let me slip away quietly
you newspaper folk have always
been so charming that it might seen
