8 REPUBLICS

PLAN CALLED TOO VAGUE
Plenary Session Scheduled For
Tomorrow - Lindbergh to

PLAN CALLED TOO VAGUE

Havana, Feb. 6.-(AP)-The at
tack Of eight Latin American repub-
lies on the right OF one nation to
intervene in the affairs Of another
dominated the atmosphere Of the
Pan.American conference today.
Preliminary conversation. among
chiefs OF delegations were held TO
determine the attitudes they would
assume In the special sub-commit-
tee appointed to pass upon the sub
ject of the fundame:..,l rights and
duties of states.
The attack came suddenly Satur-
day after Charles Evans Hughes,
chief Of the United States delega-
tion, had promised the report OF DR..
Victor Maurtua Of Per the full and
unconditional support OF the Amer
ican government. DR.. Maurtua's re-
port expounded the principle that
the independence of the countries
is correlated with their duties not
to interfere with or violate the
rights Of other states"
Called Too Vague
This was attacked as too vague.
The Rio Janeiro jurists' report say
ing mo state may intervene in the
internal affairs OF another" was
urged in its stead.
The attack ON the Maurtua re-
port was led by Argentina, while
Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, San
to Domingo, Honduras, Colombia
and Uruguay Joined 4 assailing 1t.
The United States delegation was
optimistic today that final agree
ment would be reached, but other
delegates were wary in predicting
what the final outcome OF the sub
committees work w0uN be. Th's
committee viii probably not meet
for several days, since a plenary
session is scheduled for tomorrow
and the arrival of. Col. Charles
Lindbergh on Wednesday Is ex-
pected to cut short the work OF the
congress that day.
The committee on the Pan-Amer.
ican union at its meeting today had
before it the last remaining article
of the new convention for the union.
This defined the formalities undcr
which a country could Withdraw
from the union. The reporter suy.
Rested that two years notice should
be made necessary.

Sen. NYE CALLS
NAVY PROGRAM
FOOLISH IDEA
North Dakota SOl0n Advocates
Military Preparedness For
Defense Only

Philadelphia, Feb. 6.-lR)-Oppo-
sition to the administrations pend
ing naval construction program was
voiced here last night by Senator
Nye, Republican, North Dakota, in
advocating military preparedness
for defense only, at the meeting of
the Young Friends society.
He described the $4,000, 900
naval program as q foolish idea, y
and again assailed the administra-
tion policy of maintaining marines
in Nicaragua. He attributed the
Nicaraguan situation to the reign of
financial Imperialism"
Encouraging military prepared
ness for defense alone, the senator
advocated greater attention to the
national guard.
"Give new strength" he said, land
it is comparatively inexpensive
strength, to the national guard and
we can be assured Of that full meas
ure Of defense in time of need as
will be necessary.
No Chance Of Attack
"Who fears that America will be
attacked upon its own lands or from
its own seas? With the perfection
which has been reached in airplane
construction and accomplishment,
there is not possible q fleet Of such
size as could convey to our shores
the number Of men and guns neces-
sary to threaten dangerously our
weakest Defense"
Senator Nye de.ied the citation of
= single instance in which American
lives have been placed in jeopardy
in Nicaragua. Referring to the con-
tention that the marines were there
to insure Z fair election next sum-
mer, he declared the need for their
use in Pennsylvania for that pur-
pose was ''far greater"
''In all the history Of Nicaragua," }"
the senator said. "that country has
probably never had 3 more unfair
election than you people right here
in Pennsylvania had SO short . time
ago."

FISHERMEN ARE
SWEPT UP LAKE

Coast Guard Commander at
Buffalo Calls For Airplanes
to Conduct Search

No trace Of 10 fishermen be-
lieved to have been marooned

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 6.-tR)-Cap-
tain Paul H. Former, coast guard
commander, today appealed to the
New York national guard and Lieu
tenant Edwin Room, director Of the
Buffalo airport, to supply airplanes
with which to search for 10 or more
fishermen marooned on an ice floe
in Lake Erie.
Coast guards patrolling the Amer
ican and Canadian shores watched
all night in vain for fire signals.
The men were swept up the lake
Sunday afternoon by wind after
field Of ice on which they were
fishing broke away from the main
field near Windmill Point, Ont,
few miles from this city. Observ-
ers on shore watched the little
group until the huge ice cake had
been blown from sight. Coast
guardsmen endeavored to launch
boats to 60 to the rescue, but in
ice thwarted their efforts.
Observers on shore were unable
to determine the exact number of
fishermen on the ice pack or the
identity of the men, all Of whom
live in the vicinity Of Long Point.
Ont. In addition to their bait and
fishing tackle, they had with them
provisions for one or two meals
and wood with which to kindle :
fire. Fish, if they had caught any,
would serve ss an additional food
supply. Danger lurked, however,
not only in the severe cold, but in
the possibility Of the big cake Of
ice on which they floated breaking
up or being caught in = jam and
turning over. The ice is about six
inches thick.

Washington. Feb. 6. @ = A
grand jury in tn. District If Colum-
bia supreme cour' will be asked this
week to indict Robert w. Stewart,
Indiana Star lard Oil official, for
contempt Of the senate because Of
his refusal to give certain informa-
tion to the senate Teapot Dome in
vestigatirg committee.
District Attorney. Pc ton Gordon
plans to give the case to the jurors
as soon - possible, acting on . Ger
tification from the senate that the
oil man had refused to testify
whether he had. any knowledge of
Liberty bond transactions o. the
Continental Trading company Of
Canada, now under the oil commit
tees spotlight Of inquiry.
Faces Two Actions
Transfer of the case to the courts
was voted by the senate when its
efforts to bring Stewart before it to
face a contempt charge was frus-
trated by the issuance by Justice
Jennings Bailey of restraining or
der lifting the oil mans arrest by
the senate. Thus Stewart may have
to defend himself almost simultane-
ously in two actions designed to hold
him subject to contempt sentence
Of from one to II months in Jail.
Counsel for the senate will oppose
the restraining order at the hearing
before Justice Bailey on Tuesday.
Should the senate's power of arrest
be upheld, Stewart still might for
time escape the senatc's jurisdiction
by appealing in turn to the District
Of Columbia court of appeals and the
supreme court Of the United States.
II Stewart eventually is returned
to face the senate, it is the intention
Of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon-

oil man, to request that sentence for
contempt be fixed, rather than give
the witness further opportunity to
testify.

Governor D0nahey Is sues
Statement Saying That
Laws Must Be Obcyed

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 6.-(P-
Possibility Of national guard troops
eventually being sent into the Bel
mont county coal fields as q result
of alleged communistic activities
loomed today following serious dis
turbanccs last night at the Florence
mine near St. Clairsville.
After a conference with Adjutant
General Henderson today, Governor
Donahey said: "This is a govern
ment Of law and the law must be
Obeyed. Violence must not take
place. If violence continues troops
will be Forthcoming, no difference
whether the miners or the operators
are to blame"
Federal Judge Benson w. Hough
said today that, at conference Of
mine officials and operators with
him last Saturday, both sides had
disavowcd responsibility for the dis
turbances which have been going on
about the Florence mine for several
days, and attributed the agitation to
communists. Adjutant General
Henderson said his reports from
Lieutenant Colonel Don L. Caldwell
bore out this contention.
Governor Donahey in commenting
on the situation also declared that
the national guard could and would
be used If necessary to maintain or
der as we'll as feed the children Of
miners families.
Colonel Caldwell's report to the
adjutant general was that last night

brought into the Florence mine dis
trict by automobiles and trucks, led
by four men unknown to him, and
that they carried on Z campaign"
