MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec.
18.-Delays in the official routine
for Herbert Hoover here, made
necessary because of the hostility
of the masses of the population and
the denire of Hoover's party that
every step be shrouded in masses
of mounted police, plain clothes de-
tectives, and soldiers, postponed his
departure from this city until II
o'clock this morning.
Even in his departure, Hoover
was protected by armed forces of
the government.
The president-elect and his party
were brought to the Utah on the
Uruguayan cruiser, Uruguay, which
steamed out several miles to where
the Utah was anchored. The Utah

plot.

MORE LOCALS IN
FUR NOMINATIONS
Convention Delegates
Election Thursday

At meetings marked by a large
and enthusiastic attendance, mem
bers of Cutters Local 1 and Oper-
ators' Local 5 Of the Joint Board
Furriers' Union, after spirited dis
cussions, wholeheartedly endorsed
yesterday evening the amalgamation
program Of their leadership and
nominated delegates to the conven-
tion on Dec. 20. The plan to ANAL
gamate with the cloak and dress
makers union will be realized ct the
last sessions of this convention.
The meetings were held in the
auditorium of the Joint Board build
ing, % E. 22nd st.
After the chief officers of both
locals had reported on the anlalga-
nation plan and on the structure
'the new union will adopt, the basic
pr nciple of which will be the shop
delegate system, lively discussions
were participated in by the mem
bership, who carried without dis
senting voice the resolutions endors-
ing the action.
At a recent membership meeting
some members expressed indccision
on the question of amalgamation
and on the new structure. Since
that time, however, the open forums
and meetings, and finally the local
meetings of the last two days
showed that much better under
standing of the policy to be pursued
has been developed.
Clear insight as to the assistance
the amalgamated union will give
while the furriers are preparing for
a general strike was also shown by
the membership.
With elections for delegates to
the conventions set for tomorrow
and Friday, locals elected their cleo
tion and objection committees and
instructed them to meet the follow
ing day. These committees of all
four locals will meet at Joint Board
headquarters and will hear objec-
tions to the candidacy of any of the
nominees.
All nominees must appear before
these committees if they want their
names to appear on the ballot,
Those having objections to any of
the candidates must also appear to
state them to the committee.

the real reasons for the arrest and
also the brutalities of state troop
ers. It was dismissed against the
protest of the defense, which de-
manded trial. The defense imme-
diately swore out warrant for the
arrest of Corporal Onko, the state
trooper who beat up Toohey at the
time of the arrest, and his hearing
is set for Friday. Apparently in
an attempt at retaliation and ter
rorism, the prosecution then secured
a new warrant for Toohey; the spe-
cific charge is not known at present
as the warrant has not yet been
served.
Defense Prepared.
The Toohey- -Brophy "rioting" case
was called to trial today with
the assembling of such staff of
famous attorneys as was never be-
fore witnessed in these parts. The
defense was all prepared and
anxious to go to trial with Clarence
Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays
as chief counsel.
At the opening of the court, and
after a session between the sheriff
and district attorney, and state
troopers, the prosecution decided to
nolle PROSE- the case, for fear that
trial would expose to the world the
nefarious activities of state trooper
and coal region justice.
The prosecutors wanted the case
dismissed due to the fact that they

BOULDER DAM IS

Kellogg War Treaties
Reported In to
Senate q
Vote Fourteen to Two
Reed, Moses, Shipstead
for Open Imperialism
Vote Fourteen to Two

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The
two outstanding events in congress
so far were the adoption today by
The house of representatives of the
senate version of the Boulder Dam
bill and the reporting in without
amendment or reservation cf the
Kellogg anti-British and anti-Soviet
war treaties, masqueraded under the
title of "peace pacts."
Shipstead Good ImperiaIist.
The official roll call in the foreign
relations committee on reporting in
the treaties with recommendation
for ratification by the senate was
as follows:
For the treaty, 14-Republicans,
7; Borah, Johnson, Edge, Capper,
Gillett, Reed of Penn, Fess of Ohio.
Democrats, 6-Swanson, Pittman,
Robinson of Ark, Walsh of Mont,
Harrison, George. "Farmer-labor," !"
1.--Shipstead.
Against the treaty, 2: Democrats
2: Redd of Missouri and Bayard.
Voting present, 2; both repub-
licans, Moses and Mclean.
Reed and Moses have been fight
ing the treaties on the ground that
they do not clearly enough state that
the Monroe Doctrine must be re-
spected by Europe, which means
that they want Latin America recog-
nized as an American empire.
They may continue the fight on
the senate floor; meanwhile they are
submitting their reservations to the
senate as a resolution of their own.
Shipstead, the fake "farmer-labor"
senator personally conferred with
President Coolidge to urge the same
point.
Coolidge and Kellogg have taken
the attitude that the treaties, as
they stand, mark off Latin America
as a United States preserve, ard op-
pose tactless plain speaking on the
subject.
Power For West.
The most important change made
by the senate in the Boulder Dam
bill, which was originally house
bill, was to increase the cost from
$125,000,000 to $1e5, 100000 and the
removal of the Davenport amend
ment made in the house which
would have prevented the secretary
of the interior from spending this
money any way he wanted to. The
rev secretary of the interior, West,
is closely hooked up with electric
power interests. an6 power will be
made at the dam.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (UP).-
The senate public lands committee
decided today to conclude hearings
on the nomination of Secretary Of
Interior Roy West and adjourn until
tomorrow when a vote by the COM
mittee on reporting the nomination
to the senate is expected.

new YORK MEN
VISIT VALLEY
Investigate Section
With View OF In
vesting In Bonds

The Lower Rio Grande Valley is a
country Of wonderful opportunities,
was the verdict Of Robert b. White,
vice president Of Rutter & Co., in
vestment bankers Of Wall street,
New York. who arrived in Browns
vile Monday morning for a tout Of
the Valley.
Mr.. White is accompanied BY John
F. Camp of San Antonio and New
York, connected with banking houses
in both cities.
They will spend the day in the
Valley covering the Brownsville sec.
ton during the morning and going
to Harlingen and upper Valley points
in the afternoon. They expect TO
leave Monday evening for Corpus
Christi and from there will proceed
to the Winter Garden district west
of San Antonio.
Mr.. White was greatly impressed
with che Brownsville section and
such parts of the Valley as he had
seen. He stated that development
exceeded his expectations and he
was rather surprised to find the VAL
ley citses excelling in facilities those
OF equal population in the north.
The bankers came to the Valley
upon the request of County Judge o.
c. Dancy, who asked them to make a
thorough investigation Of this Sec
tion in connection with proposed in
vestments In county and district
bonds.
Mr.. White left New York last
week, and stated that New York City
is enthusiastic over the prospects
of nominating Governor Alfred
Smith for president on the demo
cratic ticket.
"The financial interests Of New
York City regard Smith and Hoover
as safe men, and there is no logical
reason why there shoNld be any bus
mess depression as a result of the
presidential campaign. The finan.
cial interests this year will be al.
vided along party lines. The cleo.
ton of either Smith or Hoover will
make no difference from a business
standpoint"
