to leave for Chicago, and he was per-
mitted to board the train with two
large steamer trunks, thus laying him
self open to q charge Of transporting
narcotics, as well as possessing them.
Lowe Weeps After Arrest.
The trunks were seized before the
train left, and kilograms were sent to
Federal agents at Buffalo and Chicago
to arrest Unger and Mrs. Boyd. The
Twentieth Century Limited's second Sec
ton was stopped outside of Buffalo
and four agents stationed there yanked
Unger from his berth. They found on
him the checks and keys to the trunks,
small quantity of narcotic samples
and little black book containing names
and addresses. Mrs. Boyd's arrest fol-
lowed in her Chicago apartment, and
Mrs. Meyers and Lowe were picked up
here today.
Mrs Meyers, who said she was 26 and
a lingerie manufacturer. smoked inces-
sanity as she waited arraignment, but
seemed calm and slightly amused when
she was taken to court. Lowe, however,
wept loudly and begged to be released.
They will be taken Monday before a
Federal grand jury, which United States
Attorney Tuttle expects will indict
quite lot" of people.

Europe are raw materials, which the
United States is glad to get for manu-
featuring purposes with little or no
duty charged, but the chief products of
Argentina, such as meat and other
foodstuffs, raised in climate similar
to that Of this country, come in COM
petition with products of the United
States.
One of the proposals which have been
made by representatives Of Argentina
is that treaty might be ratified which
would contain reservations on the part
of the Argentine government of all
questions which might arise under that
country'S constitution Such reServa-
tions, representatives of the United
States have pointed out. would, of
course, render the treaty almost value
less, so far as Argentina Is concerned.
since virtually every question is or can
be made constitutional one.
Hope to Settle Difficulties.
However, with President-elect Hoo
verS receptions in South America ap-
parently growing In popularity with the
people of that continent, and his visit
to Argentina SO near, it Is hoped by
the American State Department that
a way will be found to settle all diff
ferences and bring the Argentine gov
ernment into the family of American
republics which are expected to have
representatives at the conference.
In any event, the present plan is
to permit any nation of the Western
Hemisphere, even ones not represented
at the conference, to sign the covenant
at a later date, If 1t SO desires.
The conference will open tomorrow
under temporary Craftsmanship of Sec
retary Kellogg, who will doubtless be
elected permanent chairman. Presi-
dent Coolidge's address will come after
the preliminarieS of organization are
over. Tomorrow evening the delegates
and ladies of their party will be guests
of President and Mrs. Coolidge at a
state dinner at the White House, after
which a reception will be held by Sec
retary Kellogg at the Pan-Americsn
Building
One of the interesting features of
the conference will be an arrangement
by which, although the deliberations
will be conducted almost entirely in
Spanish any delegate who does not
understand that language may clamp
on set of ear phones and hear sim
ultaneous translation of any speech in
his own language.
The interpreters will speak in

voices will be magnified so as to be
audible through the ear phones. Such
simultaneous translations will be an
innovation and many persons believe
they will revolutionize international
conferences of the future.

sented and their delegates are as fol-

his baggage was found to include ST.
100000 worth of drugs, and Mrs. June
Boyd. arrested in Chicago by agents
whose attention was drawn to her by a
telephone call Unger made to her from
New York. A suit case full of narcotics
was found in her possession.
The pawns, held only as material
witnesses, are Mrs. Esther Meyers, an
intimate Of Unger's, and Samuel Lower,
an addict with a prison record for
whom Rothstein once went bond. They
were arrested here and held in ball.
$4,000 for Lowe and $4,000 for the
woman, as Mrs. Boyd and Unger were
on their way back to this city in charge
OF Federal agents. Officials said they
would ask bail of at least 100000 for
Unger.
Arrests Made Despite Threats.
The arrests and seizures followed
close on inspection of business records
OF RothStein'S obtained on a search
warrant and were carried out in the
face of threats of violence from the
underworld
United States Attorney Tuttle ex-
pressed the opinion today that from
those same records officials might dis
cover Jne mOClVe Tor the shooting OF
Rothstein. Up to this time police had
proceeded on the theory he was killed
by fellow gamblers to whom he had re-
fused to pay his card debts, but today
it seemed likely that the motive might
be found somewhere among the stealthy
activities of. the drug traffic. Agents
were beginning to get warm" on the
Rothstein trail week ago. but before
they knew all they have since learned,
an attempt was made to scare them of.
James r. Kerrigan. the agent who came
here from Washington to direct the
narcotic men investigating the Roth
stein case. received a telephone call
from man who gave no name.
Listen" said this man. "You want
to lay off or you won't stay healthy"
With the reply. in effect, that he
wasn't in the business for his health,
Kerrigan spurred his subordinates to
still greater efforts.
A search warrant was obtained YES
terday to permit agents of the United
States attorneys Office 70 enter the of
flee of the mortgage company that
Rothstein used as the headquarters for
his manifold activities. There in the
files the Searchers found memoranda
confirming what before had been not
much than a suspicion, and giving tips
that were acted on at once.
1t was these papers that pointed the
way to Unger. Unger was preparing

of the celebration to be planned. He is,
however, certain that the committee, in
its decisions, will conform with the
wishes of the PreSident-elect He under
stands that the latter wants the affair
to be as simple as Is possible. He has
not been officially notified to this
extent by Mr.. Hoover himself. In
order to receive something definite and
official in this matter DR.. Work, at
Col. Grants request, sent a cable yes
terday to the President-elect
Plans to Be Based on Reply.
Col. Grant hopes to receive the de-
sired answer from Mr.. Hoover in ad-
vance of the initial meeting of the
general inaugural committee. This reply
will form the basis of the plans to be
worked out by the committee.
One of the first important steps to
be taken in connection with. the plan
ming of this inaugural is the formation
of budget Of expenses and the reach
ing of O decision as to the ways and
means of raising the money to meet the
expenses. With the absence of the
inaugural ball in the more recent inau-
gural celebrations, the matter of defray-
ing the incidental expenses has been
considerable of problem It is under
stood that Mr.. Hoover has frowned
upon the suggestion of an inaugural
ball as one of the features of the cele-
bration in his honor.
Col. Grant said yesterday that he
expects to open. headquarters for the
inaugural committee, probably in the
Willard Hotel, within the next day or so.

Outgrowth Of Havana Meeting.
The present conference is the out
growth of the Havna conference,
which adopted a resolution declaring
that "the American republics adopt OBJ
ligatory arbitration as the means which
they will employ for the pacific solu-
tion of their international differences
of juridical character"
1t was further resolved that the
American republics should meet in
Washington within year, "in con-
ference of conciliation and arbitration,
to give conventional form to the reali-
zation of this principle. with the mini
mum exceptions which they consider
indispensable to safeguard the inde-
pendence and sovereignty Of the States,
as well as matters of domestic concern,
and to the exclusion of matters involv-
ing interest or referring to the action
Of State not party to the conven-
ton"
1t was agreed at Havana that the
delegates attending the Washington
conference, who already have begun to
gather in this city, should be armed
with instructions regarding "the maxi
mum and minimum which their gov
ernments will accept in the extension
of arbitral jurisdiction"
In plain words this meant to be a
strictly business conference. held for
the purpose not alone of talking, but of
accomplishing actual results Of bene-
fit to the republics of this hemisphere.
While no mention is being made, nor
is likely to be made, of any European
or Asiatic nation, 1t is well known that
the eyes of the world will be focused
on this conference, for statesmen every
where say that the future, both as to
prosperity and the effect upon the rest
of the world, lies in the Americas.
Argentina was signatory of the
Havana resolution, but has since de-
clined to send delegates to Washing
ton. There has recently been change
of administration In Argentina and
one of the public reasons assigned is
that there is not time to send properly
instructed delegates to the conference
from Buenos Aires, or to study the pur-
poses Of the conference, The Argentine

expression of ideas, as to the scope the
plans should take.
It is the aim of Col. Grant to ap-
point the secretary Of the inaugural
committee in advance of the committee
personnel. He is hopeful also that he
will have determined upon those whom
he will name to the more active COM
mittee chairmanships, Of which the
finance cimmittee is looked upon as
being the most important Because of
the fact that there is any amount of
detail incident to arranging for an
inaugural celebration, and because it is
necessary to the success of the occa-
sion to have an efficient organization,
it is thought likely, from what Col.
Grant has intimated. that he viii to
a very large extent call on a number
of those who have had wide experience
in such things to serve with him in this
work.
Conference Is Held.
In this connection 1t was pointed out
that all inaugural celebrations are SIM
liar. whether or not they be of the
simple kind that marked the Harding
and Coolidge affairs, and the kind TO.
dicated a preference, and for this rea-
son the inaugural chairman sees the
wisdom of having the assistance of
those whose natural talents and past
experience commend them. He con-
ferred informally yesterday in the Office
of DR.. Hubert Work, chairman of the
Republican national committee, with
five members of the executive commit
tee of the Republican State committee
for the District of Columbia, and from
what Col Grant said afterward this
latter group represented the nucleus of
his body of assistants and advisers. In
this group were William T. Galliher,
who was chairman of the Coolidge in
augural committee four years ago; r.
Lincoln Townsend, who has been prom
inently identified with inaugural COM
mittee work in the past; Edward F.
Colladay and Mrs. Virginia White

man and woman respectively for the
District of Columbia. and G. G. Glover,
jr, vice chairman of the Republican
State committee for the District OF
Columbia.

NEW YORK. December s.-The
United Fruit Co., whose banana planta-
tions in Colombia have been affected
by strikes in Magdalena Province, an
nounced today that reports to its of
fees here indicate that no British or
American employees have been killed,
although one American was slightly
wounded =.
M C. O'Hearn, vice president of the
company, said very few authoritative
reports had been received because of
destruction of the company's telephone
communication lines with its planta-
tons. Available reports we're that some
buildings had been burned, railroad
bridges destroyed and damage done to
plantations.
Our reports indicate that the Colom-
bian government has the situation un-
der control" Mr.. O'Hearn said. I'VE
are convinced that only this prompt ac-
ton by the government prevented great
loss of life, and possibly a serious in
ternal crisis"
OHearn said the Colombian trouble
was caused by persons who were neither
employees of his company nor recog-
nized representatives of any established

 Since the post war period foreign language newspapers declined rapid ly as result of the cutting of inn migration quotas and today there are hardly more than 500 foreign language publications in this coun- try. The younger genera tion, born in America will not read the papers for the simple reason that they are better acquainted with the English language and get the news much sooner than the foreign language papers can give them, and they get q variety Of feature stories that their papers don't carry.
