CITED HISTORY
Ferrara Tells Union Free
dom on This Continent
Won By Revolt

HAVANA, JAM 28 R-Revolution-
lists and rebels of all kinds to con-
Stituted government had their day to-
day at the Pan-American congress
when, in the midst of discussion
aimed at promoting a degree of in
ternationai cooperation for the repres-
sion of political disorders, their cause
was suddenly and eloquently taken up
to the discomforture of proposal
further to hamper their activities.
Two Latin American ambassadors
to- washington, OresteS Ferrara, OF
Cuba, and Honorio Pueyrredon of Ar
gentine, arose to champion the rebels,
proclaini1g the debt which all Amer
lean republics owed to this, system of
introducing liberal ideas into this con-
tinerlt.
The question arose when Dr. Fer
nando Roa, Mexican member of the
committee on public international law,
asked the committee whether it would
be ready to discuss the matter of al
lowing constitutional governments to
blockade ports in their own territory
which should have fallen into the
hands of revolutionists. The question
was not on the official proceedings
and DR. Gonzales Roa said he would
be ready to introduce a resolution for
the consideration of the committee if
the latter should agree to extend it's
agenda.
Ambassador Ferrara Immediately OBJ
jected to the consideration OF the prof.
ect, saying the committee should ad-
here to the prepared agenda. On fur
ther insistence from the Mexican dele
gate, DR.. Ferrara in a loud declama
tory tone said that the conference had
Fbeen doing excessive work against the
poor revolutionists. We must not for
get that most of the countries here
represented have progressed mostly
through the efforts of revolutioniSts "
Himself an old revolutionists against
Spain in the days of the Cuban in
surrection, DR.. Ferrara continued, "in
those countries where the conditions
are such that political changes cannot
come easily from below, upheavals arc
the only way for new ideas to arise
Thus have most of the liberal prin-
cipals in this continent been intro
duced."
DR.. Ferrara added, however, that ne
was not in favor of fomenting such
conditions that revolutions could be
started at the whim of any political
leader, but he thought that it would be
excessive to enforce extraordinary
measures to close all possibilities OF
revolution
DR.. Pueyrredon applauded the Cuban
ambassadors patriotic apology o1
revolutions" and pleaded with the COM
mittee that they 1eave something tc
the revolutionists We must not al
ways think of the governments; we
must also keep in mind the people"

q. O. F.. Candidates
For President Turn
Eyes to Northwest

WASHINGTON, Jan. % (P)-F'riends
of the leading candidates for president
are turning their eyes toward the
northwest, since the war doubtful
element in all political speculations
Out in North and South Dakota,
especially, both the republicans and
democratic camps see interesting po-
litical events on the horizon, for these
states take the lead in expressing their
preference to the national conventions
in Kansas City and Houston.
Although the state legislature has
pushed up the South Dakota state
conVention-or proposal meeting" as
it is called there-from December to
March 6, that state still is the first
in the country to make concrete
move in the 1928 political campaign
North Dakota follows on March 20 with
primary election.
The interests of the republicans CEN
ter about the strength Frank o. Low
den will develop in these northwestern
farm states, and the question whether
he will get by there without a contest
with either Senator Norris of Nebraska
or any other republican candidate.
The democrats foresee a fight between
Governor Smith of New York and Sem
ator Reed of Missouri for the demo-
cratic delegates Both Reed and Smith
followers have announced they will en-
ter the contests in both South and
North Dakota.
The only other state to select dele
gates in March is New Hampshire,
which has it's primary on March 13,
the voters do not express direct
presidential preference in that state
but on the republican side a slate of
delegates tavoring Secretary Hoover
will be in the field with the backing
of Senator Moses
p. With the South Dakota republican
state convention only five weeks away
Lowden is the only candidate whose
friends have signified any intention of
entering the field. Senator Norbek,
who has never failed to win for his
man in all the years that he has been
active in politics in South Dakota, not
only favors til : former Illinois governor
but is prepared to see through any
contest against him.
There is the possibility under the
state law that in the event of Low
den's selection by the state convention,
minority of protesting candidates
may be filed against him, and in that
case two candidates would fight it out
at primary election in May.
Secretary Hoover does not intend TO
enter the campaign in South Dakota.

Ibanez' 40 years of maturity

He saw nearly all countries OF

lectures and movies he gathered
gold from most of them.
His genius as a novelist was
often said to have been equaI1ed
by his genius as business man.
He circled the globe twice and
at least score of his works

PHOENIX, Jan. % R)-The procla-
nation of Governor George w. p
Hunt, issued July 12, 1927, creating
an emergency fund of $121,6O0 for
the repair Of certain bridges and
roads in the state damaged by floods
in September, 1926. and June, 1927,
was declared valid in an opinion
handed down by the supreme court
here today.
The opinion directs that the alter

state treasurer, to honor warrants
drawn against the fund or show
cause why the writ should not be
made permanent, be quashed, and
the petition of w. c. Lefebvre, state
engineer, be dismissed.
The court holds that the proclama-
ton of the governor is invalid for
two reasons that rain of the char
acter mentioned in the proclamation
and the petition for the writ OF
mandarnIs, cannot be considered as
an "act of God" within the meaning
of the statutes of the state, and that

for the reason that the state lee1s-
lature had met during the interval

bridges and the issuance Of the pro-

fund to repair the damages.
The suit grew out of the refusal
of the state treasurer to homer a

from a claim presented by the high
way department against the erner-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s R :

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S up
On the sixth anniversary of the
Knickerbocker theatre disaster, the
capital was visited today with con-
ditiOns similar to those which caus-
ed the catastrophe.
Snow, falling from midnight
last night until mid-afternOon to-
day, blanketed the city to depth
of more than 10 inches, impeding
traffic and causing q number of
the government departments TO
close several hours earlier than
usual through consideration for
their employees and the difficulties
they might have in reaching their
homes.
The storm was pronounced the
worst since that Of six years ago
when tons Of sOggy snow caused
the roof Of the KnickerbOcker TO
fall in. Ninety-eight lives were
lost in the falling debris and many
were injured.
NEW YORK, R King Winter re-
sumed positive sway over a wide area
of the United States today.
To the swing of his sceptre, regi-
ments of snow clouds drilled over the
eastern states and south beyond Wash
ington swathing city, village and coun-
try roads with the heaviest drifts of
the season.
Farther west, biting temperatures
marched before the advance.
In the eastern states 1t was the first
real snowstorm of the year. Earlier
during this freakish winter snow has
fallen in separate sections, but today
for the first time the storm was gen.
eral over many states.
Beginning early in the day the snow
fell steadily and the weather bureau
predicted that it would continue
throughout the night.
Temperatures in the snow belt were
not severe, but farther west the mer-
curry descended sharply. Several deaths
were reported in Chicago.
In New York City the snow was
gentle and very fine and for hours
succeeded in doing little more than
making a slippery paste on streets and
sidewalks.
Generally throughout New England
there was light snowfall during the
day which was expected to pile up
several inches before morning.
Lancaster, Pa, reported is inches
with trolley service impaired and scores
of parked automobiles unable to move.
