 'RUbbER' CHECKS

Charged ou two counts of viola ton of the act concerning fruudu- lent checks, Antony P. Osteika was arrested shortly before noon today by Officer E. B. kiely. and was locked up pending the posting of s1,000 bond. Arrangements for his release were being made this after noon.
 Osteika, while he was proprietor of the Fashion Shoe store at 432 Main street, issued a check \on the City National bank for $221.2s in fa- vor of the Bond Shoe Co. of Boston, Mass. and had no funds in the bank with which to meet it, accord ing to the allegation. Four days later, on Dec. 20. 1927. he issued a check for s166.SO to the Boardman Shoe Co. of Boston, Mass. drawn on the City National Bank. and this check was also worthless. according to the police.
 Osteika said, after his arrest, that he had been called upon to pay g local man money which he had not anticipated being charged with at that time. a deal having been made for the sale of the stock in the store, and he had not intended the checks to be without value.

Nicaragua Is Seeking
 Another Loan in U. $.

Washington. Jan. 13 R)-Negotia- tion of another loan to Nicaragua by American bankers probably will not await the outcome Of Nicaraguan economic survey now being made for the state department, although that survey probably will furnish the basis for department policy toward later borrowings.
 Although department officials do not know the exact status of conver- sations understood to be already in progress in New York. and will make no official comment regarding them. it is known here that Nicara-- qua may regard it h necessary to ar range without much delay for an emergency advance of $1,000.000 or $l,500,000 to help organization of the national guard and restoration of order.

INTEREST IN EXECUTION
Even Newspapers Published Abroad Carried Items About New York Slaycrs.

New York, Jan. 13 (UP) = The execution of Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray was a news event of primary importance in many cities outside the boundaries of the United States.
 The public interest taken in the case by Americans at the time of the murder trial last spring spread to foreign countries and hence the de- mand grew for cabled descriptions of the double electrocution.
 The United Press. supplying news of the execution to clients on four continents, found that the wordage requests varied widely. A full and complete account. for instance. went 70 Diario de Marina and Heraldo de Cuba, Havan newspapers. Excel sior. Mexico City. and Ia Prensa, Buenos Aires. received more than 300 cable words. London and Paris newspapers in many instances. took up to 500 cabled words.
 One London newspaper consider ed tho execution of such importance that & special edition (extra) was offered for street sale only 2 min- ute or two after ncwsboys were hawking papers wet from the presses in New York and other American cities.

SMITH RECOMMENDS
 EARLY PLATFORM
Advises Puty to Stirt Work On
 It it Once

Washington, Jan. l3 R-Early tentative drafting of the democratic party's platform. instead of leaving the task to bs done in the hustle and hustle Of tho June convention. is recommended by Governor Smith of New York in the party's national committee.
 In his letter read to the Jackson day diners last night the governor said he believed i've have erred in the past by waiting for the national convention to undertake the entire task of preparing a platform. In the heat and rush of . convention the platform when finally written Is, to my way Of thinking. not sufficiently understandable to the masses of the people,"
 Smith believed previous party platforms were too general in terms. important questions being neglected in tho spirit of compromise with great principles" and he suggested that the national committee formu- Iato ln adVanco . program outI1ne for the guidance of the drafters at the convention.
 Outlining ''our articles Of political faith." which. when followed. he said. had brought success to the party, Smith listed ''the great degree of local self-government by the states. the minimum of interference by tho federal government" and by one state with another. legislation for all rather than by classes. non- interference with internal affairs of other nations. and tolerance of con. tlictinE opinion.
 These principles. che said. should guide the country's treatment of "our foreign relations, prohibition. agriculture. reform of the govern- ment machinery. economic policy. conservation and development of our public natural resources. and in fact any other question which arises"

BY GERARDO MACHADO
 President of Cuba

Havana, Cuba, Jan. l2 R - The meeting of the sixth international American conference in the capital of Cuba is an event which has awak- ened intense interest in the world and it's character is undoubtedly very exceptional. I will add that its preparation under the auspices of the republic over which preside. upon whom her sister republics Of America conferred great honor by depositing in her their entire confi- dence. has been one of the outstand- ing endeavors of my government.
 The long labors whose purpose was always inspired by the desire and aims of American confraternity. which should be perfectly cemented upon the broad and solid foundations of mutual justice and common pros perity. have now been crowned with success, holding out the promise of immense good.
 So I stand ready to extend with profound emotion an enthusiastic and anectionate greeting to the rep, resentatives of the three Americans who. zealously and we'll prepared. re- spond to the noble call made to them on behalf of this continent. ex- tend this greeting in the most com- piete conviction that we approach. for the glory and welfare of our democracies, the definite and un- mistakable triumph of truth. as . symbol of redemption. in oppcsition to the acrimony. at times disQuiet- ing. of prejudice and mistrust.
 It affords mo infinite satisfaction to fnd here, where the flag of my country waves, the plenipotentiaries of the nations of the new world unit ed and well disposed to coordinate the interests of America under the protection of a strong alliance of spiritual compenetration, which shall constitute for them in the near future an assurance of moral and material aggrandizement. The cubs will then experience the pleasure of having facilitated the good under standing between all the powers O1 our continent, simply by accepting the political and economic inspira- ton of new ideals. and the full com- prehension of our destinies will re- suit from better reciprocal under standing between the peoples who inhabit this fair and extensive para dise. our America.
 For these reasons consider that the sixth international American conference will stand out in the his tory of our conciliatory activities, not as the goal of ambitions bred by the anxiety of securing advantages. but as the starting point of an ample and general intercontinental policy sub ject, perhaps. to precise apprecia- ton of realities and of duties.
 My present guests will gather in the course of time the mature fruit of the efforts which our predeces- sors were unable to bring to comple- ,ien. but they will be at the same time the precursors of new political standards which will consolidate to- gether with the peace of America the welfare Of humanity.
