Sixth Pan American
Congre S Honors.
Charles E. Hughes

HAVANA, Jan. 18 lP - The sixth
Pan-American congress, the greatest
of its kind ever held, opened today
under the leadership of world figures
in the universal striving for peace and
understanding The delegates of the
81 countries represented stood ready to
proceed with the consideration of those
problems of primary interest to the
new world.
A man who was proclaimed as a
leading authority in such matters, Dr.
Antonio Sanchez Bustamente, of Cuba,
was elected president of the congress.
Charles Evans Hughes, chairman of
the American delegation, was named es
vice president.
Rafael Martinez Ortiz. Cuban secre-
tary of state, opened the proceedings
with an eloquent address, in which he
emphasized the contribution of Pan
American congresses to the establish
ment of the principle of arbitration
in international disputes.
Alexandra Leira, Chilean chief, re-
sponded to the welcome, expressing
similar faith in the destinies of the
American ideal.
Open diplomacy and full publicity,
was made certain by ratification by
the congress of the recommendation
previously adopted by the heads of
the delegations, that all meetings, both
plenary and committee, be open to the
public There is still the question of
executive sessions, which the confer
ence will decide later.
The conference also accepted the
suggestions for the appointment of
eight committees to deal with the vari-
GUS subjects on the agenda.
Apart from this, today's session was
largely devoted to speeches. Mr..
Hughes closed the discussions by for
mally thanking Cuba in the name OF
the American delegation and the
American people for the warm welcome
"given to President Coolidge"
"The president of the United States, "
he said returns to Washington not
only with the deep interest in Pam
American affairs, which he has always
displayed, but with a warm intensified
affection for the people of Cuba, whose
independence and prosperity we have
so long sought to promote"
Mr. Hughes also thanked the Boil
ivian deleagtion for the resolution re-
calling the activities of President
woodrow Wilson for the peace of the
world.
'It is very significant" he said "that
the meetings have begun by remem-
bering the apostles of peace If we
can go forward and achieve something
in our own way, comparable to what
they did, we shall profit the cause they
had so much at heart"
One of the most interesting features
of the day was the raising of the
flags of 81 republics on special flag
staffs erected on the two sides of the
steps leading to the University of
Havana, where the conference is be-
ing held The flag of the United States
was greeted with the predominant ap-
plause of the day, but it was remarked
that the flags of both Mexico and
Nicaragua, came in for great wave of

HOTELLING IS
ON HIS WAY TO
PEN|TENT|ARY
Court Almost Convinced
Capital Punishment Is
Needed. in State
PLEADS GUILTY
Judge Awards Such Mercy
AS Defendant Showed
To His Victim


FLINT, Mich, JAN 18 P = The
slayer of golden haired Dorothy
Schneider is on his way to pay the
penalty for his crime. Judge Fred w.
Brennan Of the Genesee county cir
cult court today sentenced Adolph
Hotelling to life imprisonment at hard
labor in solitary confinement in the
state branch prison at Marquette.
The murderer bears with him on his
trip to the bleak upper peninsula in
Stitution, a mark that brands upon
him the hate and desperate grief of
the father of his victim AS the Stolid
diSheveled Owosso carpenter, and
church elder was brought into the
court today Leslie Schneider, father of
the girl, Sprang from an ante-roonl,
lashed out with all his strength and
struck Hotelling full in the face. The
man blinked, shook his head and plac-
ed his hand to his face 1t was evi-
dent the blow was painful.
In passing sentence upon the con-
fessed murderer, who had entered a
plea of guilty, Judge Brennan declared
"the details as shown by this confess
sion and the proof almost convince
me we should have capital punishment
in this state
Three witnesses only were called by
the state, including the girls father, a
physician who told Of Nhe autopsy,
and court reporter.
Before Judge Brennan, Hotelling
again admitted his guilt in connection
with attacks upon two Owosso girls.
He asked the court to take into con-
sideration my family"
did you consider the girls family?"
the judge snapped.
The court arraignment climaxed a
day of furtive Scurrying and secret
expeditions. When it finally was de-
cided that it would be impossible to
have the murderer plead anywhere
but in Genesee county, he was bundled
into car in Ionia, where he had been
sheltered il. the reformatory, and rush
ed to Flint.
He slouched in with Sheriff Green
on one side and deputy on the other.
They came through a door at the rear
of the bench. In an ante-room
Schneider was awaiting his turn as a
witness.
When the fathers glance fell upon
Hotelling, the fury within him blazed
out. Schneider is small man COM
pared to Hotelling. But when he drove
his fist into the irnmobile counten-
ance of the slayer, Hotelling was
shaken and fell back.
After Judge Brennan had pronounc-
ed sentence, Schneider walked to the
bench and extended his hand The
judge took it.
Thank you," Schneider said.

PHOENIX LAWYER
LEGALITY.
BOULDER DAM ACT
Gust Informs Congress Sew
en-State Compact First
Requirement

WASHINGTON, JAN 18 P)-The
constitutionality Of the Swing john
son bill providing for the construction
of dam on the Colorado river at
Boulder canyon was attacked before
the senate irrigation and reclamation
committee today by John L. Gust, an
attorney of Phoenix, Arizona.
He declared that congress cannot
legally enforce the terms OF a COM
pact originally intended to be ratified
by seven states in the Colorado basin
but which has the approval of only
six. He reminded the committee that
the bill now before congress calls for
ratification OF the compact by the
seven states interested before any
money shall be expended for the
of the project.
Because Arizona is not in accord
with California, Colorado, New Mex
leo, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming on
the provisions of the compact, Mr..
Gust contended that the Swing
Johnson bill is unconstitutional and
that congress has not the power to
deprive a state of its right not to
enter into the compact and has not
the legal right to force Arizona to
subscribe to treaty which it dis
approves.
Control OF waters in state is
a sovereign power" Mr.. Gust said,
'and under the principles of the
reclamation act, congress has the
power to construct reservoirs in q
state only with the consent of such
state"
Taking up the subject of taxation
as asked by the states of Arizona and
Nevada, Mr.. Gust asserted that the
fundamental basis of the constitution
is that the federal government may
not be in position to destroy the
states of the union and that the
states may not be in a position
to destroy the federal government.
"It follows" he declared, "that ii
the federal government is permitted
to tax state developments then the
states should have the power to tax
federal developments" He pointed
out that through consent of congress
it is legal for states to tax national
banks doing business in the several

ELECTORAL BILL
FAILS TO PASS
in NICARAGUA

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 18 (Pl-
The liberal press here mas 9een ang-
cred by the failure OF the electoral
bill for the forthcoming presidential
election in Nicaragua to pass the
house of representatives.
The bill. as approved by the Amer
ican legation, in accordance with the
American promise to supervise the
coming elections, was passed by the
senate, but the house adopted a
changed and amended measure.
The liberal newspapers accuse
General Chamorro, the former presi-
dent, of controlling the house in. its
attitude toward the original bill,
which would have placed an American
as president of the board OF elections,
the bill as amended by the house
merely placed an American as a
counsellor on the board of elections.
The liberals also charge that the
conservatives have broken the agree
ment signed at Tipitapa in behalf
of the liberals and conservatives at
the urging of Henry L. Stimson,
personal representative of President
Coolidge, last year.
The conservative attitude is that
they are willing to accept super
vision of the 1923 elections by the
United States, but that they are not
obliged to- pass a law which would
be unconstitutional and which would
jeopardize the sovereignty of Mic
aragua. They quote Mr.. Stimson as
saying that the United States would
observe the elections, but not control
them.
The liberals contend that the law
as passed by the house takes the
teeth from the senate law by tieing
the hands OF the proposed American
electoral dictator.

Al SMITH AND
CHURCH
DEBATE
Upper Chamber Startled BY
Most Bitter Exchange
Heard in Years
CONTINUE FIGHT
Democratic Leadership In
Senate at Stake in Battle
Of Words

WASHINGTON Jan. l8 R--Re-
buked in vigrous terms by his party
leader, Joseph T. Robinson, for his
attacks upon the Roman Catholic
church and Governor Alfred E. Smith,
Senator Thomas Heflin, of Alabama,
today challenged the democratic sem
ate leadership OF the Arkansan.
The challenge was accepted inlme-
diately and Senator Robinson issued
a call for party conference to-
morrow to settle the issue. He de-
clared openly upon the floor OF the
senate that if Heflin could dictate
who should lead the minority that
party can get someone other than
myself to lead it here"
The most bitter exchanges the
senate had heard in years broke sud-
denly after the Alaban1an had spent
two and half hours in new
attack upon the Roman Catholic
church, what he terms its political
machine" and upon Tammany Hall
and Governor Smith.
Rising before crowded chamber
and galleries, the democratic leader
took HefI1n to task tor his repeated
attacks upon the Catholic church and
the New York governor and with all
the vigdr at his command declared
that "he does his country no service
who lights the torch or sounds the
cry OF religious intolerance and perse-
cution"
The massive Alabaman was on his
feet frequently with protests and
threats while an ALMOST full member
ship OF the senate and sotShern and
New York members OF the house,
gathered on seats in the rear OF the
chamber, sat in almost stunned
silence. The blunt declarations OF
the two senators on religious and
political issues within their party
brought frequent outbursts from the
galleries.
AS they fired back and forth at
each other, the speakers were sep
arated by only single row OF seats.
Robinson gripped his desk or pounded
palm against palm as he drove nome
his thruStS at his southern colleague.

ed the intense emotion under which
he labored and once warned Heflin

husky after his long speech and he
was wrapped i'll great coat with
up turned collar. AS Robinson con-
cluded he DOTTED his coat and
launched into heated reply to
which the democratic leader gave
close attention, but which he did
not interrupt
Immediately after the senate con-
vened, Heflin obtained recognition for
a defense of himself against in1pu-
tations in documents published in
the Hearst newspapers and purporting
to be of Mexican origin. He attri-
buted publication of the documents
to a conspiracy of the Roman Cath
olic church against him.
Then he began double barrelled

PHOENIX, Ariz, Jan. 18 tP =
When one is fighting for Arizona's
destiny, ingratitude and treason will

from Washington to his secretary
here today, upon being informed TO
Acting Governor James II. Kerby's
action in removing H. S. McCluskey
as a member of the state industrial
commission.
The chief executive also wired "that
it would be base ingratitude to Nc

the acting governor to do such an
unworthy thing to one of the best
and most vigorous fighters for Ari-
zona'S cause in the midst of a great
conflict to protect our commonwealth. ,"
McCluskey and the governor are in
washington assisting in the fight by
members of the Arizona Colorado riv-

BRITISH TURN THUMBS DOWN ON
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION PACTS

"Any arbitration award which
party to the dispute resOIutely
refused to execute" continues the
memorandum, would not merely
fail to settle the dispute-it would
prejudice any movement i'll favor
of arbitration"
The memorandum considers as
impossible that any nation strong
enough to use force effectively
would at present undertake an
obligation to use force against
either party to a dispute which
failed to submit to arbitration
or failed to accept and comply
with an award.
An arbitration treaty which goes
beyond what the public opinion
of country will support, when
that cOuntry's interests are con-
scerned, and when the decision is
unfavOrable to those interests, is
pronounced useless, and by embit-
tering the relations between the
states involved, the document says,
would result in setback to a
movement for pacific settlements.
