HUNTINGTON, Ind, Feb. 10
The Republican record in Indiana

Some of the reasons for retain

Republican national chairman, it
was reported last week, got part of
the Liberty bonds figuring in that

Some Problems Settled by
Pan-AmeriCan COnfab.

By United Press
HAVANA, Feb. 10. - The sixth
Pan-American conference went into
its final stages today with many
major problems settled.
Intervention had been sidetracked
for at least five years.
A resolution had been offered
providing for obligatory arbitration
Of juridicial disputes.
A conference on Cancellation and
arbitration was scheduled for Wash
ington within a year.
All the committee work has been
concluded and it remained now for
the conference as a whole, in
plenary session, to approve the work
of the eight major committees.
The committee on initiatives was
due to meet today to deal with such
new matters as may yet remain, but
inasmuch as the life has gone out
of the conference, now that the two
main conmittees-the one on Pan
American union and that dealing
with codification of public interna-
tional law-have adjourned, it was
expected that the initiatives body
would make its work short.

improvements be fastened.
Speeding up of the track eleva-

cation was appearing in the inter

Slack explained the park policeman
