Fears for Raiir0atis

Managua, Nicaragua. Jan. ! Rl- There was another situation today for the marines to take in hand. Expectations and disorder near the port of Corinto raised the fear that railway communication between the capital and the sea might be cut.
 4 force of 15O United States ma rines was available for duty in the region and it was considered likely that they would be posted at stra- tegic points along the railway. This railway, the only one in Nicaragua. connects Managua and other points of the interior with the sea. { Sixty men, we'll armed and we'll mounted. attacked the laborers on . plantation at La Cabrera Dc Ameya, adviAs from the district of Chinandega stated. The bandits plundered tho district and commit ted various depredations.
 Since Ameya is directly across the Bay of Estero from Corinto, it was feared that as attempt might be made to blow up the bridge connecting Corinto to the mainland. thus cutting off the seaport of Par Til.
 Strike Causes Anxiety
 A strike of stevedores in Corinto has caused anxiety since approx,- mately 65 per cent of the foreien commerce of Nicaragua passes through Corinto. The customs col lector said that he believed the strike was in sympathy with the rebel activities of General Angus tino sandino. It is thought that the attack on the plantation was staged by sympathizers with the strikers.
 The air section of the marine earrison at Quilali was fin excellent shape today for bombing attack upon the sandino rebels. Six new pursuit planes have reached there and additional men were massed for the drive against Sandino. The ma rines were well supplied with food and ammunition.
 Sandino's present location was a today. The country affords many hiding places for the rebc. bands. Once spotted by the planes in their patrols. the bands al. bombed and likely hiding places attacked from the air.
 Most of the towns in Nueva Be- govia are in the hands of the ma rineA Reinfoecements will be in- HaIled tn additional towns as they are taken over.

A compromise between statehood
or complete independence the people
Of Porto Rico will be glad to accept a
new form of government which would
permit them to elect their own governor
and which would give increased powers
to their Legislature. according To let

President of the Porto Rioan Senate,
and Jose T. Soto. Speaker Of the House
OF Porto Rico, which was formally pre-
sented to President Coolidge yesterday
by Felix c. Davilla. resident commits
sioner of Porto Rico here.
The letter was IN response TO the one
recently sent py President Coolidge to
Gov. Towner of Porto Rico, in which
he very Candidly gave his reasons for
opposing increased autonomy at this
time.
IL declared that the Porto RicanS are
not asking of America either lndepend-
ence or statehood. although If inoepeno-
ence were rendered il would be accept
ed on the same basis as that of Cuba.
1t also states that the Porto RicanS are
proud of their citizenship and conscious
of their duty TO the United States.

ENOUGH VOTING MACHINES

Voting machines cost money; but
the city must have enough. There
is a hot election coming, and boy,
there must be enough voting ma
chimes to accommodate the frenzied
voters eager to save the country.
Next fall it will not be possible to
borrow machines from surrounding
towns because they all will be IN
use at the same time. If the city is
to have enough of the contraptions
it must own It's own. That is the
reason back of the purchase Of four
additional machines.
Chairman John L. +. keeVers of
the Democratic town committee
was the first to bring up the ques-
ton Of voting machines, this before
the city election. Chairman William
n. Judd Of the Republican town
committee and some other officials

chimes, although to make sure Mr..
Keevcrs and the Democrats would
have to get political thunder out of
the incident four plachines were
borrowed for the city election. Now
it is found we cannot do without
the extra machines and Ed Hall
has ruled that they be purchased.
As this is being done there come
rumore at hand that the next po-
litical demand, or move, will be for
the division Of some Of the wards
into precincts. Looks as if we are
getting more like a metropolis every
election. II everyone would vote
who Is entitled to do SO progress

a GLANDS OFF POLICY"

This being a presidential year,
and it is a desire of the ms to re-
main IN office, the way the unem-
plovment situation has been lodged
is a notable example of party policy,
or politics,
one remembers the verbal tilt
between Senator Wagner and Secre-
tary of Labor Davis-the former
calling on the administration to do
something about It and the latter
reporting that the situation was not
as bad as it had been painted. With
this discussion out OF the way, moth
ing more was done. The reason:
There was dynamite In the situation
and the administration did not dare
10 touch it off.
Numerous bills were introduced
in the last session Of Congress re-
garding mployment, but 1t Is
notable that none Of these measures
came 10 a vote in either house. The
Senate, however, vas little more
liberal: 1t ordered a ''comprehen-
sive investigation" Of the causes OF
unemployment and possible rene
dies" This was done during the
closing weeks of the session.
Now watch for that ''comprchon-

GRADE CROSSING NEWS

John A. Macdonald, state highway
commissioner. is by way Of becoming
extraordinarily popular in this city.
A few more visits like the one he
made the other day. with a few
more promises attached, ought to
make him as highly thought Of in
these parts as Messrs. Coolidge,
Hoover and Smith combined. Though
this may be a bit exaggerated there
is no gainsaying the thought that the
man who can promise to eliminate
grade crossings is hero.
Not only grade crossings, but an
alternate highway through Belvidere
has met with the staunch approval
OF our friend from the state capital.
While the gentleman visitor was in
such good humor the mayor and his
party should have guided him into
other sections of the city needing
road and bridge Improvements. We
rather think that full advantage was
not taken of the opportunity. The
highway commissioner certainly
would have noted the Justice of all
complaints while In such an agree
able state OF mind: 1t is a pity he was
not here three or four days SO as to
have had a thorough opportunity to
see everything that is needed in this
growing town.
It was a grand visit nevertheless,
assuming that the two grade cross
ings will really be eliminated and
that the alternate highway through
Belvidere will become an actually.
There seems to be enough optimism
for everyone to get share.
