Buenos Aires Newspaper Says
Hoover Made Statement
to Yrigoyen
-
sse8A
Declares Hoover Is Not in Ac-
cord With Ideas Of Presi.
dent Coolidge

Buenos Aires, Dec. 19.-(P)-La
Epoca, a newspaper which is general
ly regarded as q spokesman for pres
ident Yrigoyen. said today that Her.
bert Hoover in conversing with the
Argentine president told him that In
the future the United States govern
ment would never intervene in the
international affairs Of other coun-
tries. that It would respect their
sovereignty and would recognize their
rights to manage their own problems.
President Yrigoyen was quoted as
saying that he believed that Mr..
Hoover was not in accord with the
ideas Of President Coolidge.
The newspaper said that the SUBJ
ject Of intervention by the United
States In the affairs Of other Ameri-
can nations was brought up by Senor
Yrigoyen. Mr.. Hoover explained that
Intervention by the United States had
not been undertaken with the design
Of protecting American economic in
terests but was for safeguarding the
lives Of American citizens.
President Yrigoyen was understood
then to have referred to views Of in
tervention expressed by President
Coolidge In his speeches and Mr..
Hoover was said to have replied that
Mr.. Coolidge had been obliged to
proceed as he had done In view Of the
circumstances Of the individual
cases.
The paper said that President Yri-
goyen next declared that he believed
that Mr. Hoover was not in accord
With the ideas Of President Coolidge.
Yrigoyen added that Mr.. Hoover had
answered that Mr.. Coolidge had
adopted his attitude solely on ac-
count Of the circumstances involved.
Mr.. Hoover did not reply when Presi-
dent Yrigoyen expressed this belief.
The paper then quoted Mr.. Hoover
as saying that the American people
were opposed to the policy Of inter-
vention and that he was In q position
to state emphatically that such .
policy had ceased. He concluded by
saying that In the future there would
be no Intervention by the United
States government In the internal af-
fairs Of other countries. That their
sovereignty would be respected, and
that their rights to manage their own
problems would be recognized.

Scant Hope Felt That lmpris.
oned Men Will Be Found
Alive Behind Debris
Two Miners Working Ne ar
Other Six Escape as Explo-
sion Occurs Suddenly

Drakesboro. KY, Dec 19.-(F-Six
miners were trapped in the coal mine
Of the Black Diamond company early
today following an explosion which
occurred about 9 p. M. last night.
John F.. Daniel. chief Of the state
department of mines. who received
the report at his home, left early to-
day for Drakcsboro to supervise the
work of the searching parties. Mr..
Daniel said searchers had first en-
tered at midnight but had found no
trace Of the entombed men.
Volunteer rescue crews were strug-
Cling to clear away an avalanche of
rock and debris early today to reach
the six men, but scant hope was felt
that the imprisoned men will be found
alive.
A portion of the mine ceiling gave
way and in crashing is believed to
have set off gas in pocket of the
mine, followed by an extensive COL
lapse Of debris which closed the pass
age.
Eight men were working near the
point where the blast occurred. Hon.
er Ransom and another miner named
Davidson were about 500 feet from
the others and reached the surface
uninjured. The blast occurred be-
tween the two working groups. at a
point about 1000 feet from the entry.
S. A. Green, assistant district mine
inspector, arrived at the mine few
minutes after the blast and with w.
w. Bridges, receiver for the Black
Diamond company, organized the
rescue crews.

PadIocked
CLEANUP CAUSED BY FEUD
KIDNAPPED Cate Owner Found
Wandering in Hysteria
Over Semi Desert

Wink, Texas, Dec. 19.-R)-Thirty
resorts we're closed here today and
scores of citizens and transients were
held for law violations or for ques-
tioning following the greatest drive
on lawlessness this turbulent oil-boom
town has known. The alleged vio-
lations include liquor. gambling, mar
cotic and auto theft laws.
Attracted by the commotion which
q private feud between rum runners
and hijackers aroused here this week,
federal and state officers descended
on the town in force last night and
proceeded to q swift and business
like cleanup.
While the federal dry agents, Gus.
toms and narcotic inspectors and
Dyer act investigators sought vio-
lators of national laws, Texas
rangers enforced the state gaming
laws by raiding and closing II alleged
gambling resorts. Three Of the
Casinos were said to be exclusive cs-
Establishments with no limit on bet
ting.
The concerted drive was precipi-
tated by the kidnapping last week Of
P. G. Burchan, local cafe owner, by
rum runners seeking revenge on hi
jackers. Burcham, alleged leader OF
the hijackers, was found yesterday
after 36-hour search in which 100
men participated.
He had been bound and left to die
in an isolated water trough in the
semi-desert, but managed to escape
his fastenings. In attempting to re-
turn to the civilization he became
lost and wandered for two days with
out food or water. When found Bur-
cham was unable to talk coherently
because Of hysteria and exhaustion.
Later he charged several Wink mer
with his kidnapping. Those charged
retaliated by saying Burcham hae

M'FARLAND TO TAKE

PUGH DENIES ACTION
Coffey's Application to Restrain
Rival From Taking
Bench Futile
HANLEY WILL PRESS CASE
Decision Dismisses Attempt to
Stop Officials From Issu-
ing Certificates

r. G. Mcfarland OF jamestown,
elected as Judge of the fourth judicial
district at the November election. will
take office in January despite the ef-
fort Of Judge j. A. Coffey. incumbent.
also of jamestown. to prevent him
from doing so.
In a memorandum decision made
public today. Judge Thomas H. Pugh
of Dickinson. before whom Judge
Coffey's action was argued. denied
Coffey's application for an order re-
straining Mcfarland from taking Of
fice
J. M. Haniey. Mandan. counsel for
in the district court Judge Pugh's
decision referred only to Coffeys ap-
plication for an injunction to prevent
Mcfarland from taking office, he
said. The plaintiffs will make an ef-
fort to have the case tried on its
merits as soon as possible.
Judge Coffey charged. In asking for
an injunction. that Mcfarland had
violated the corrupt practices act by
paying money to another candidate
to induce him to withdraw from the
contest. that he spent more in his
campaign than the law allows. and
that there were other irregularities.
Case One Of Equity
Judge Pugh held that the case Is
one in equity and not in law, which
permits 1t to be tried on It's merits,
Hanley said.
The decision dismisses from con-
sideration Coffeys application from
an order preventing state officials
from issuing a certificate Of election
to Mcfarland on the ground that the
certificate already had been issued
and that he had qualified for the Of
flee. In view of these facts. the court
held. the law contemplates that he
shall take his office at the appointed
assumption that the complaint had
been amended SO as to ask an iujunc-
ton to prevent Mcfarland from as
suming the duties Of the office, re-
gardlesS of the fact that he already
had qualified.
The decision said That Generally,
courts of equity have no jurisdiction
over matters or questions of q politi-
cal nature and will not interfere to
enforce or protect purely political
rights, as ordinarily legal remedies are
afforded for the vindication Of these
rights. The right to vote, or to be
voted for at an election, or to be elect
ed to an office, Is q political and not
civil or property right"
The court further held that 1T Is
inconceivable that public business
would become entangled or the rights
Of the public or Of individual citizens
be placed in jeopardy by failure to
grant the injunction.
