CONGRESS HAS
WORD BATTLE
OYER POLICY
0rftors Defend and Denouace
Presence Of u. S. Forces In
Latin.America
RESOLUTIONS OFFERED
Government Considers Sandino
a Bandit and Intends TO
Disperse Forces

washington, Jan. 6.-(AP) -
With the situation in Nicaragua de-.
scribcd at the navy department to-
day as being unchanged from recent
days of apparent quietness, the bat
tie of words in congress over Amer
lean policies in Central America has
displaced the actual fighting be-
tween marines and the forces of
General Sandino.
Determined to carry through its
program Of eliminating SANDING
from the picture, the navy went
about its work Of preparing 1000 ad-
ditional men to send southwark to
curb the peppcry Nicaraguan's ini-
tiative to the extent of which ma
rine officials, including Major Gen.
eral Lejunc, commander Of the corps,
would not predict.
Meanwhile the campaign Of
phrase making on Capitol Hill. in
defense and denunciation Of the
presence Of American forces in
Latin America, promises to furnish
the stimulus for many oratorical
forays during the present session
of congress, and perhaps other ses-
sions.
Administration Is Silent
Apparently there is no inclination
on the part of administration Off
cials to reply to criticisms directed
at them for their adherence to the
plans outlined in Nicaragua. Ad-
ministration leaders in congress
have the task of answering, From,
time to time, the thrusts Of the op-
position.
Meanwhile, the batch Of resolu-
tions dcalin. with the Nicaraguan
affair remain in senate and house
committees, while the navy moves
to get men on the scene Of actual
hostilitics. There was no expecta-
tion here today OF an immediate de.
cisivc battle between the marines
and the Sandino men, who have
clashed several times in recent days
While Sandino's adherents con.
tinuc to term him a patriot eager
to save his country, the American
government still refers to him as q
bandit, as they have insisted on de-
scribing him since he broke of
from the liberals at the time Of the
Stimson peace agreement. Holding
this view, the marines have deter
mined to disperse his forces.
Situation Unchanged
The situation in Nicaragua was
described today ~ Major General
Lejcune, commandment Of the mar
inc corps, as being very much as it
was at the beginning of the week.
How long it would take to
eliminate Sandino from the "other-
wise peaceful Nicaraguan horizon"
the general was unable to say. He
said that he expected Sandino would
attempt to escape to Mexico or to
some other country when the ma
rines begin to press him.
Charging that the executive
branch Of the government is carry
ing on war in Nicaragua, Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, pro-
posed an investigation Of the use
of marines in that country in a res.
olution offered today. He had
previously announced he would ask
such an investigation.

POLITICAL POT
SIMMERING AS
SESSION NEARS
Vets to Hold Convention and
Two State Central Commit
tees Plan Meetings

Developments in the state politi.
cal situation are expected to follow
thick and fast upon the opening Of
the special session Of the legisla-
ture here next Tuesday.
The opening gun of the political
season, - now scheduled, will be
the mass meeting and convention OF
Wet Republicans, called for the pur-
pose Of launching q separate
branch. Of the Republican party in
the state on q platform of changing
the present prohibition law. The
announced plans Of the wet leaders
are to enter . complete list Of can
didates for state and national Of
flee in the primary election next
June and to present a list of candi-
dates for delegates to the Republi-
can national convention to be voted
upon in March. It is the hope, of
wet leaders that the Wet Republi-
can organization will take rank
with the Independent Voters Asso-
citation and the Nonpartisan League
as major factors in the politics Of
the state.
To Meet January II
The second scheduled political
pow WOW will be the meeting Of
the state Republican central COM
mittee, scheduled for january IL.
Fred j. Graham Of Glendale, Non
partisan, is chairman, and the or
Sanization controlled by him is
generally regarded as wholly Non
partisan, since the Independents
have q state central committee Of
their own.
Chief among the items Of busi-
ness to be transacted by Graham's q
committee is consideration of the
proposed candidacy Of Governor A.
G. Sorlie for the Republican nomin-
alton for president. The basis for
the Sorlie-for-president boom was
laid recently when F. w. Cathro,
who was prominent an the Nonpar-
tisan League when It controlled all
state offices, announced that the
committee would consider the ad.
visibility Of asking Governor Sor-
lie to permit his name to be pre-
sented as candidate for the NOM
ination at the presidential primary
in March.
Although the governor has made
no formal statements Of his atti-
tude toward the proposal, he has
made It plain to his friends that he
needs only to be asked to give his
consent.
It is not expected that the special
session will end without some addi-
tional political developments Of in
terest which may have q bearing on
the Nonpartisan and Independent
conventions, scheduled for Febru-
ary, although the place and date Of
the Independent convention have
not been Announced.

IMPOSITION OF
DIAZ REGIME IS
REVOLT'S CAUSE
DR.. T. s. Vaca Denounces
American Intervention in
Nicaraguan Affairs
WALL STREET IS BLAMED
Sandino, He Says, Has Sym
pathy Of Great Many Among
Central American Masses

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-R-Dr. T.
S. Vaca, former confidential agent
in the United States Of DR.. Juan b
Sacass, Nicaraguan liberal, today
asserted that the uprising in Nicar-
aqua is the direct outcome of the
imposition of the Diaz regime" up
on the people Of that country last
May.
Denouncing American intcrvcn-
tion in Nicaraguan affairs, DR.
vaca said he was reliably informed
that the forces Of General Augusta
c. Sandino, rebel leader, were well
equipped and that they would figh
to the. last man against "unwar-
ranted exploitation and conquest by
. foreign invader"
DR. vaca asserted that these
forces number several times those
that fought at Quilali last Sunday
and that Sandino had the support
Of the inhabitants of the northern
and eastern district, where he is
operating.
"The present Nicaraguan situa-
tion," said DR.. Vaca, "is the direct
outcome of the imposition Of the
Diaz regime last May upon the peo-
pie of Nicaragua, exhausted and bled
after year of civil strife that re-
suited from q plot by New York fin
anciers, first wilfully allowed to
hatch and then famed and enlarged
by the active help Of the state de-
partment in war material and ma
rines, as well as finances to the
bankers' man, Diaz.
"There can be no peace and happi-
ness among human beings without
justice, except by the butts of the
guns and that is the kind Of peace
that Nicaragua enjoys now.
"Sandin0 has no personal ambi-
ton and not being candidate for
the presidency Of Nicaragua, his
conduct is naturally unconventional.
He rather represents the true man.
hood Of his race and undoubtedly
has the sympathy of the more con-
sctentious among the Central Ameri-
can masses, who intuitively realize
that the policy Of the United States
government in Nicaragua is meant
for all Central America, regardless
Of bubbles and play words in the
official proclamation Of government
policies.
"Marines are being hurried to
Nicaragua in order to crush San
dino. It will be a grim and sad
setting for the official talk of amity
and fellowship ct the PAM American
conference ct Havana this month";"

REPUBLIC FOUNDED
IN NUEvA SECOvlA

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. s.
(AP)-A republic has been founded
in the Nueva Segovia district by
General Augustine Sandino, rebel
leader, with whom United States
marines are engaged. -
Money has been coined in the
name of the republic government and
prohibition Of intoxicants established
with severe penalties. Death is the
penalty for q man convicted of sell
ing liquor; convicted woman's
property is burned.
The rebel leader changed the name
of San Fernando to Sandino when
he established the republic.
Sandino was leader in the lib
eral army commanded by General
Jose Maria Moncada, leader of the
opposition to the conservative Diaz
government. In compliance with an
agreement negotiated by Henry l..
Stimson, President Coolidge's per-
sonal envoy, the liberal forces laid
down their arms last July with the
assurance that next August a fair
national election would be held.
Seizes American Mines
SANDING gathered a number Of
those dissatisfied with the settle
ment about him. He seized and op-
Grated American mines and levied
taxes in the district.
Major G. ID. Hatfield, United
States marine corps, sent Sandino an
ultimatum demanding that he la,
down his arms. Sandino refused to
comply or to even discuss the mat
ter. General Moncada, as the lead
er of the official opposition, repu-
dated SANDING.
Sandino has maintained that the
peace settlement was forced upon
the liberals by the United States.

U. S, MARINES
NOT IMMINENT
Rebels Defeats Of Friday and
Saturday More Severe Than
at First Reported
MARINE LOSSES SMALL
Officials Claim Only IA Were
Killed, Including q Few Who
Died From Wounds
MARINE LOSSES SMALL

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 81
(AP)-Hard hit by clashes with
American marines last Friday and
on Sunday, the rebel forces Of Au-
gustino Sandino are keeping well
under cover and no battle is regard
ed imminent at Ell Chipote, the rebel
stronghold, for the present.
Colonel Mason Guilick, command.
er Of the marine forces here, said
today that the rebels had not been
seen for the past few days and that
their defeat appeared more severe
than was first reported.
Reinforcements have arrived ut
all the marine garrisons in Neuva
Segovia, scene Of the fighting. and
all is reported quiet in that region.
The American wounded will be evac-
uated shortly.
Sandino is believed to have gone
to. Ell Chipote, which is about Is
miles from Quilali, his captured
headquarters, but this Is not certain.
The marine authorities here to-
day refuted statements Of DIR. Pedro
Zepeda in Mexico City telling of
large losses among the marines. The
officials said that IA marines have
been killed in combats in Nicaragua
since the arrival Of the American
forces. including two or three who
died from wounds. DR.. Zepeda, who
represents himself as being the rep
resentativc of Sandino, had declared
that his advices from the rebel chief
indicated hundreds Of casualties
among the marines.
(Officials at Washington also
have denied the truth of DIR. Ze-
peda's asscrtions.)

Presidential Election Fails to
Cause Slack, Report
Says.

MINNEAPOLIS, September % -
1 Paving no attention to the idea that
/ industrial operations should slacken dur
ing a presidential election year. con-
struction work is moving at pace that
will advance its total value for 1928 To
approximately S8,000,000.000. This is
the conclusion reached in report pre-
scented to more than 100 constructor
leaders from all parts of the United
States at a conference here this week
under the auspices Of the Associated
General Contractors Of America.
Based upon a survey of the first nine
months of this year and the prospects
for weeks of the immediate future, the
report states lit is virtually certain that
the volume of all types of construction
operations handled during 1923 will
equal if not exceed the total registered
last year."
Except in the cases of few cities
having a surplus of apartment houses,
an overbuilt condition does not exist,
the report continues. In most COM
munities vast numbers of structures now
are becoming obsolete, not only because
of age but because Of demands made by
the increasingly high American stand
ard of living"
The report was presented to the con-
D. c.. general manager of the contrac-
tors national organization.
A marked decrease in the amount of
Speculative building" of small homes
which marked the records of two or
three years ago is noted. Whatever
slackening might have resulted from
this decrease has been offset, however,
by the increase in volume of public
works operations.
Despite the large amount of work
handled this year, however, the con-
struction industry is in "a most I'M
healthy condition" it is stated.
The records of recent months indi-
cate an amazing volume of operations
evidencing poor workmanship or long
and unnecessary delays resulting from
inefficient supervision" the report says.
Conditions of this type have been
brought about by presence in the con-
Struction industry of hundreds of ire
Sponsible or inexperienced operators
who are able to secure contracts. These
skin deep contractors are able to Sc
cure vast amounts of work because the
public blindly worships the low bid and
