TWO GOVERNORS TO BREAKFAST
TOGETHER AT HISTORIC CURIO

of more than one president OF
Mexico and in which the plan of
Aqua Prieta and the present gov
ernment of the republic was agreed
to.
The announcement, made last
evening that Mrs. Alice Gatliff, who
has lived in Aqua Prieta and OPP
Grated the CuriO cafe through
peace and war, these many years,
would be hostess to the two gov
ernOrs at breakfast this morning
has been received as good omen.
Aqua Prieta citizens point out that
good comes of conferences of exc
cutives in these rooms and that
big things are hatched there and
that with the good will which
exists between Sonora and Arizona
this meeting over coffee and rolls
and perhaps ham and eggs, of
these two men may mean much
for both states.
At any rate it is meeting which
will go down in history and which
adds one more page to the book of
the CuriO which has many darker
pages and many that appear now,
more important but-whO knows.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-03

And the governor Of Arizona said
to the governor of Sonora, 'IeSs
slip off together in the morning
and have a quiet breakfast and
talk things over" And the COVER
nor of Sonora said to the governor
Of Arizona, econ lnucnO gustO.'
For months the world has waited
to hear what these two men, heads
Of two great states, ono in Mexico
and the other in America, would
say to each other when they met.
People who have lived long time
in Douglas or in Aqua Prieta and
who have come to know that great
things hang upon the visits to Aqua
Prieta of great men, had predicted
that what these two men might
say to each other would be inn
pOrtant.
So it seems that it may be i'm
pOrtant or that events of import
ance might grow out of it for Gov
ernOr FaustO Topete and Cover

Affairs
Are Repealed In
Report TO Senate

WASHINGTON March 2 P--After
a brief, but sharp flare-up today
in the senate on the administration
policy in Nicaragua, Chairman Borah
of the senate foreign relations COM
nittee made public the testimony
given to that committee on Nicara-
guam conditions last month by high
naval officials.
Secretary Wilbur, Rear Admiral
Latimer, former commander of Amer
lean naval forces in Nicaraguan
waters; Major General Lejeune, COM
mandant Of the marine corps, and
Brigadier General Lane of the marine
corps, furnished the testimony, giving
in minute details the whole situation
since American forces first were
landed.
The testimony contained little not
already published as to political con-
ditionS and battles, but members OF
the committee were highly interested
in an opinion by General Lane
that if the marines were withdrawn,
General Augustine Sandino would
march on Managua ana take charge
of the government.
Withdrawal of the marines was de-
manded by Senator Dill, democrat,
Washington, who engaged in run
ming battle on the floor of the
senate with three republicans, Borah,
of Idaho; Shortridge, of California,
and Edge, of New Jersey, Dill
charged that the marines we're sent
in at the request OF American con-
cessionists in Nicaragua and denied
that American property and lives we're
endangered.
Much testimony on the point that
American lives and property were in
danger was given to the foreign re-
lations committee, Admiral Latimer
explaining that he first landed forces
in the Latin-American republic be-
cause of attacks upon American
settlements.
The naval and marine officers
agreed that Sandino had promised
to lay down his arms had repeatedly
refused to do so and had raided an
American owned mine before the
marines took the field against him.
These officers expressed the opinion
that many of his recruits were from
Honduras Reports regarding Sandino
in Nicaragua, they added were that
he once had served with, Pancho Villa
in Mexico and that he once hao
declared he proposed to become the
Pancho Villa of Nicaragua.
His force apparently was well
directed and there were vivid accounts
of the battles with the Americans,
whose hsxpism was praised by the
officers. Senator Dill opened up the
senate debate by reading dispatch
telling OF the latest encounter be-
tween the Sandipo forces and the
Americans in which five marines
were killed. Then he opened up on

WASHINGTON, March 2 tE1 -
The display on the house floor to-

alcohol and other things precipi-

SONORA CHIEF
ASKS NATIONS
GUIDING HAND
Pledge of Mutual Helpful
ness Is Renewed at In
ternatiOnaI Banquet
I'M FULL ACCORD
Hunt and Topete Launch
New Era of Friendship
In HandcIasp

Fausto Topete, governor of the state
OF Sonora, Mexico, pronounced the
final words on the program of the
first day of the celebration of his
visit to Douglas and Aqua Prieta last
evening and his words burst as clear
and powerful on his hearers as did the
booming of the 81 gun salute which
was fired just at noon when he ar
rived at the international gateway.
Following the firing of those guns
and dinner for the governor and his
party at the home of DR.. Manuel
Calderon the Sonora chief met Gov
ernor Hunt of Arizona at the gate
way to Sonora. and over the monu-
ments marking the boundary between
America and Mexico these two, rep
reSenting two great states of two diff
ferent nations pledged to cooperation
and good will of their respective peo-
pies.
This meeting was followed by adj
dresses in the park during which both
executives again expressed their hope
for better understanding and con-
tinued and greater cooperation.
1t remained however for Governor
Topete to flash the signal of progress
and declare to his own people and to
Arizona the steadfaSt purpose for
progress and enlightenment which he
adhereS to and to which he has
pledged his government
Topete delivered the final address
at the big banquet. James P. Boyle,
prominent Douglas attorney, repre-
senting the city, made the first speech.
It. de Ia Cara, prominent attorney
of Aqua Prieta and Douglas was the
second speaker. He spoke in behalf
of Aqua Prieta and the Club Social
Governor Hunt was next introduced.
1t has been said that nothing deters
Governor Hunt in making his points
in a speech but the double language
noticeably hampered him.
Governor Topete was introduced
and rose to his feet after the man
ner of a general about to exhort his
armies and out of the depth of his
nature rolled a powerful voice which
swept the room silencing every whis-
per and compelling the attention of
everyone Interpreters hampered To-
pete not at all. He seemed adapted
to short terSe sentences and the
pauses necessary for Interpretation
into English His Spanish seemed to
adapt itself to the less fluent tongue
as if the very sympathies of the oc-
casion moved him to speech that
could be understood in any language.
Topete said, "a month ago I at
tended banquet like this 1t was
in Nogales. 1 was struck with the
undivided attitude of those two cities,
their brotherly cooperation and their
determined spirit of progress. 1t is
like the spirit that I find here. What
could find that would be better.
What is there that would be finer
than this spirit of two cities side by
side making all problems mutual and
working them by mutual effort.

DRY DEMOCRATS
TURN TO WALSH
TO BEAT SMITH
McAdoo Reported to Be
Leader in Movement to
Defeat Governor

WASHINGTON March R-Dry
democrats hostile to the candidacy
of Governor Smith, OF New York, for
the party's presidential nomination
have been canvassing the field for
a candidate to whom they could
throw their support at the Houston
convention. Among those frequently
mentioned in, this connection is
Senator Walsh, of Montana, who, like
Governor Smith, is a Catholic, but
unlike the New Yorker, is classed as
an ardent dry.
Many of Mr.. Smiths foes in the
democratic party have insisted that
their opposition to his candidacy was
not based on religious grounds, but
on their belief that he was out of
sympathy with the prohibition amend
ment. This view was expressed by
some dry leaders at the one-day con-
ference here Tuesday, at which plans
were made for demanding that both
republican and democratic parties
adopt dry planks and nominate known
drys.
William c. McAdoo. who is reported
in dispatches from California to be
a leader in a movement TO build up
delegate support for Senator Walsh,
had the support of most Of the drys
at the Madison Square Garden con-
vention in which he was deadlocked
for days with Governor Smith.
Mr.. McAdoo has announced that
he is not a candidate for the nomlna-
ticn this year. although there have
been indications from some of his
supporters tSiat efforts might be
made to draft" him.
Senator Walsh was permanent
chairman at the 1924 democratic con-
vention and has been prosecutor OF
the senate Teapot Dome investigation,
which grew out of the naval oil
reserve leases.
