CURTIS OPENS TOUR
THROUGH INDIANA
Nominee Is Accompanied by
State Candidates on
Auto Trip.

BY the Associated Press
EN- ROUTE WITH SENATOR CUR
IT'S IN INDIANA. october 5.-Senator
Curtis, the Republican vice presidential
nominee, campaigned through the
thickly poulated Calumet region OF
northern Indiana today on an automo-
bile tour with State party candidates.
After a day of play yesterday, when
he went to Lincoln Fields race track to
watch the horses run, the Senator was
back to the political grind in earnest
with a schedule carrying him to Gary,
Ind, where he is expected to speak to-
night. 3,
The veteran campaigner, who reached
Chicago early this week considerably
fatigued from his long and arduous trip
through the West, undertook today's as
signment with some reluctance and only
with the understanding that he would
not be called upon for more than one
talk.
G. 0. p. Nominees Along.
Representative Will Wood of this dis
trict led the Senator on the tour, and
he was accompanied by virtually all the
Indiana Republican candidates, includ-
ing Senator Robinson, who is running
for reelection. Each city almost joins
the other in this industrial corner OF
northeastern Indiana, ana republican
leaders always count heavily on this
region.
The Hoosier leaders awaited the ar
rival of Senator Curtis at the State
line, Just outside Chicago, early this
morning, and from there the trail of
the automobile caravan led through
Whiting East Chicago, Indiana Harbor,
Hammond, Hobart, Lowell, Crown Point
and Gary.
Enjoys Races.
The vice presidential nominee de-
clared himself considerably rested last
night after his return from the race
track. He was a jockey as youth, and
loves the horses. The Senator was
among the happiest of the spectators,
but was one of the few who didn't go
to the pari-mutuel machines to place
a bet. He took his fun in picking the
horses. but his only tip to the friends
who besieged him at the track was,
keep your money in your pocket
Upon his return tonight to Chicago,
Curtis will spend tomorrow resting, and
Sunday he will depart on a trip into
North Dakota, Minnesota and Wis
consin.

LEGION LOOKS
 OVER FIGHTERS
Promising g Material for Fight Card on July }
 Uncovered by Legion

Three Welterweights and two heavies are being looked over by the American Legion smoker com mittee with a view of putting them on the Legion's card on July 3, it was announced today by Chairman T. J. Mccartney. The Legionnaires are making every effort to match the boxers even ly so that there will be no one. sided bouts to mar the entertain ment.
 Johnny Stokes, Wrangell boy, who lays claim to the welter- weight title of the Territory. ar rived yesterday and is in touch with the smoker officials. He re- ports draw in an exhibition match with Walter Cleghorn otherwise known as the Cook In let Kid" who is fighting in the States, and other good men both in Alaska and in the northwest.
 Jay Cummings is the second man in the welter class whose form is attracting attention. He is a Bellingham boy who has been working as foreman of the local box factory for two seasons.
 A third welter, and one of the most likely looking of the lot, is Joe Leyson, a Filipino boxer. In a, short workout this week he gave evidence of aggressiveness, speed and cleverness that seemed to mark him as good man in almost any kind of company.
 V. Levet, a newcomer, is one of the crop of heavies under ob- seryation. He is said to be a rugged fighter with ability to both give and take punishment. Joe Brady, Douglas Indian, who has the reputation of being dynamite in the squared circle, is another heavy who is almost sure to be matched for the card. He is a hard hitter of the type that never knows when he has had enough and is willing to trade punches with any of the mitt pushera
 It is probable that some Of these men will be signed up with in a few days. All of them are working out in training quarters established in the Alaskan Hotel basement.

BLAZE IN TARVIA
 POT THIS MORNING;
 FIREMEN WORK FAST

Bremen were called out at 1O:20 o'clock this morning in an swer to a call from Connors' Gar age where a pot of tarvia over flowed and caught fire on Front street.
 Large clouds of black smoke were rising from the street in front of the garage when the firemen arrived, but quick work with the chemicals and booster tanks of both trucks and some help from workmen who threw sand on the burning tarvia quick ly extinguished the flames. The fire was close to the large gaso- line tanks and pump belonging to J. J. Connors, but these were no. in danger because of the prompt action taken.
 Tarvia is something new to Ju- neau. A compound similar to tar, it is mixed with sand and used in the capacity of cement for SlueWdlkS. IL. Y. MOlIlS is put ting in such walk for MT. Con- nors, and because it is cheaper than cement and has greater ex- pansion powers, it is felt. by MT. Morris and MT. Corners it will be a successful experiment and that tarvia may be used on other walks in Juneau.
 The pot being used at present is in temporary use until MT. Morris receives a new one. and the overflow, caused by the tarvia boiling, ran into the firepot, start ing the blaze.

Senate Committee
Hears Intere sting
Stories In Probe.

CHICAGO, March 16 R-Although
it failed to find further trace of the
Sinclair liberty bonds used to help ex-
tinguish the republican party deficit
in 1928, the senate Teapot Dome sub
committee today heard two rather in
teresting stories from thSee of the 36
witnesses it questioned at morning and
afternoon session.
One was that Harry F. Sinclair,
James E. O'Neil and two unidentified
men discussed the Teapot Dome lease,
liberty bonds, Albert B. Fall and the
Continental Trading company at din
ner at a club in New York City early
in 1923. The other was that the late
Fred W. Upham, then republican ma
tional treasurer, and Wilbur w.
Marsh, the democratic national treas
urer, entered into an agreement in
1923 not to make report to congress
on receipts and contributions for that
year.
The story about Sinclair, lessee of
Teapot Dome; O'Neil a missing wit
ness in the Sinclair-Fall oil con-
spiracy trial, and the two unidenti-
fled men was given to the commit
tee by Edward Buckley, now of Chi
cago, but who said he was waiter
in the bankers club in New York in
1922, when Sinclair obtained the lease
Telling the committee that he wait
ed on the four men on the day in
question, which was either in the
spring or early summer of 1922, Buck
ley said he heard Sinclair tell the
others that the secretary of the navy
was objecting to the lease of the Tea
pot Dome and another conference
would have to be arranged with Fall
The witness also said there was talk
of $4,000 or $125,000 in liberty bonds,
but it was not clear from the parts
of the conversation he overheard as
to what was to be done with these
bonds. He also testified thai there
was some talk of the Continental
Trading company, the liberty bond
profits of which the senate investiga-
tors are seeking to run down.
sONeil was quoted as having said
that $100,00O,000 would be made, but
it was not clear as to what it was
to be made out OF. Sinclair, Buckley
said, told the others that from that
time on each man would have to look
out for himself, but that if he got
IN trouble the consolidated oil would
take care of it," while O'Neil said
'>the Standard Oil company would
take care of it,"
Testimony as to the agreement be-
tween Upham and Marsh to conceal
1923 political contribution was given
by Irl G.. Hipeley, and A. V. Leonard,
associates of Upham, while he was the
republican national treasurer. They
said Marsh frequency visited Upham
and that the latter had told them
that Marsh had made the proposal

ST|MSON PLAN
To Be CARRIED
OUT AS AGREED
Rejection of Mccoy Election
Law by Nicaraguans Met
By Marines
INCREASE FORCE
Two Additional BattaIiOns
OF Marines Are Ordered
South to Reinforce
INCREASE FORCE

WASHINGTON March 16 tY-
President Coolidge believes that the
United States can still be helpfuI
to Nicaragua by assisting the people
OF that country to choose its govern
ment, in spite OF the action of the
Nicaraguan house in rejecting a few
days ago the Mccoy bill providing
for supervision Of the coming election
by the marine corps
This view was reflected late in the
day by an announcement from the
navy department that two additional
battalions OF marines had been ord
cred to the little Central American
republic to reinforce the 2,7OO already
on duty there.
Commenting on this DEVELOPMENT.
Secretary Wilbur said the additional
marine forces were to be used prl-
marily for overseeing the coming
elections and not for action against
General Sandino although the troops
may be employed to further the
general activities of the marines In
Nicaragua.
While President Coolidge doubts
that the legislation embodied in the
Mccoy bill was absolutely necessary
to the execution OF the Stimson
agreement providing Tor supervision
of the elections, he feels that it
would have been desirable
Mr.. Coolidge is OF the opinion that
the presence of the marines already
has worked to the advantage of the
Nicaraguan people inasmuch as it
put an end to the actual civil war
or1 INoC criry To c4.. s.
country a year of peace, allowing the
citizens with few exceptions to
return to their ordinary occupations.
The problem now confronting the
Washington government, in Mr..
Coolidge'S opinion, is that of devising
some plan under which the United
States can fulfill its obligations under
the StimSon agreement according to
the original spirit OF that pact-one
OF helpfulness to the Nicaraguan
people in the selection of its public
officials.
A fortnight ago when the Nicara-
guam congress had not yet taken any
action ON the Mccoy bill or any
other measure providing for the
of the elections, word was
sent to Managua through Minister
that failure by the Mic
congress to adopt such legis-
laticn would necesSitate that the
United States take whatever steps it
might consider necessary for carrying
out its part of the Stimson pact.
When word of the rejection of the
Mccoy bill reached the capital this
week, it brought forth from official
quarters blunt statement that the
Washington government was deter
mined to go through with the Slim
son plan. but no suggestion of what
steps would be taken. The state
would make no comment
on today's marine orders.
The two additional battalions viii

in Nicaragua to $500, the greatest

ESCH REJECTED
BY SENATE FOR
REAPPOIN MENT
Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Voted Out On
Confirmation

WASHINGTON, March Is (P-The
senate today rejected the nomination
of John j. Esch, of Wisconsin, for
another term on the interstate COM
merce commission, 80 to 20, after five
hours of debate behind closed doors.
Resentful over the change of atti-
tude shown by Commissioner Each
which led him finally to switch his
vote and favor lower rates on coal
hauls from the northern mines to
lake ports, senators from states in the
southern coal fields waged a success
full battle against him.
Senator Neely, democrat, of West
Virginia, led the fight against Esch.
He declared that Esch, who also voted
against permitting railroads in the
southern fields to reduce their rates,
had changed his vote on the lake
cargo rate case because of pressure
from Pennsylvania and the admins
tration.
