JUDGE GIVES
; 3.0FFIC|ALS
BUT ONE OUT
To Escape Jail Officers Must
Disestablish Company
Union
10 DAYS DELAY
Brotherhood Wins Through
Injunction Fight With
Railroad
10 DAYS DELAY

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 10 (P)-The
federal court injunction, which union
leaders have vigorously opposed as
a weapon used against labor in in
dustrial disputes, brought three Of
ficials Of a railroad face to face
with Jail terms here today for a
fight waged on the Brotherhood OF
Railway Clerks.
Federal Judge j. G. Hutcheson gave
three executives of the Southern
Pacific lines of Texas and Louisiana
the choice Of occupying jail cells Tor
an indefinite stay or obeying his
decree establishing a company
union" and making the brotherhood
the official labor body OF the $500
clerical employees of the road in the
two states.
Already found guilty OF contempt
of court for alleged defiance of an
injunction granted the brotherhood
last August by Judge Hutcheson, the
rail officials came into court today
for the scheduled showdown, but OBJ
tanned a delay of ten days in the
imposition OF penalties.
To escape jail, Judge F1utcheSon
told the officials they must recognize
the brotherhood until secret ballot
of employees is taken under court
supervision; abandon the Association
of Railway Clerks, an organization
alleged to have been foStered by the
company; reinstate brotherhood Off
cialS and members discharged from
service during the dispute; pay fees
of the brotherhood'S counsel, and give
brotherhood officials all privileges en-
joyed by representatives Of the
Association of Railway Clerks
"If the provisions of the opinion
are carried out" Judge Hutcheson
told the rail officials, "you will stand
discharged Of civil contempt. II you
do not, the clerk will issue an at
tachment for you and you will tbe
confined in the Harris county jail
until they are done"
H. NJ Lull, executive vice president
of the road; C. S. Waid general
manager, and j. c. Torian, assistant
to Waid, are the defendants in the
contempt proceedings.
j. H. Tallichet, attorney for the
railroad, said he could not forecast
what course would be followed by
his clients. His own personal opinion
was that test should be made of
the legality of the Esch-C Cummings
act of 1925 under which the injunc-
ton was obtained, he said.
Judge Hutcheson in finding the
executives guilty of contempt declared
they had ignored the provision OF
the railway labor act providing for
the submission of labor disputes to
a mediation board and had flouted
his injunction in an attempt to de-
stroy the brotherhood and set up a
substitute employees association where
the railroad would have a vote ''on
both sides of the table" in negotiating
with its workers.

CLAREMONT, Calf, Feb. 10 up
AT the inter- American institute,
convening at Pomona college, for
the consideration of Mexican
problems, DIR. Charles w. Hackett,
professor of Latin American his
tory, University of Texas, said
today that the chief blame for
the social and economic conditions
in Mexico in 1910 must fall upon
the land policies of former Presi-
dent Diaz.
''The census of 1910 shows that
the Indians had not only lost
their lands, but that 3,lO3,4O2 had
lost their freedom.
According to the latest avail
able official figures of the MeXi-
can department of agriculture a
total of approximately 22,OOO,OOO
acres of land have up TO the
present been restored to Indian
villages" the doctor declared.
The topic of American interests

ECONOMIC CONDITION
BL AIMED ON DIAZ BY HACKETT

professor of history, University of
California, Berkeley. He ma'ie
the statement that American In
VeStments in Mexico represent by
far the greater part of the de-
velOpment of internal resources of
the country. Oil holdings rep
resent $5OO,OOO,OOO, mining ans
smelling S3OO,OOO,OOO, agriculture
and timber about 100000, 900,
railroads 100000.
The total American investments
in Mexico is estimated in some
quarters at $1,5OO,OOO,OOO, which Is
more of the national wealth than
that owned by Mexicans or other
foreigners.
Professor PrieStley said that the
difficult position in which the
Mexican government finds itself
is that of endeavOring to develop
the investment capacity of the
people to the point where it will
be able to provide am exploiting
class, which it largely lacks at
the present time.

NEW CONFESSION
Of K. c. ROBBERY
Motion for New Trial May
Delay Sentencing of Kid
naper-Killer

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 OWL
liam Edward Hickman, now awaiting
sentence for the kidnapping and slay-
ing of Marian Parker, today gave a
new confession to his attorneys in
which he told of opening fire on a
night watchman during an attempted
store robbery in Kansas City.
The watchman threw himself on
the floor to escape being shot and
Hickman and Welby Hunt, named by
him as his accomplice in the rob-
berry attempt, fled, according to Hick-
man.
Hunt later corroborated Hickman's
story to the extent of admitting to
officials that he was in the store with
Hickman on the night named by
Hickman. He refused to comment on
the shooting, refusing to say who
fired the shots or whether the watch
man was wounded.
The attempted robbery and shoot
ing took place., according to Hick-
man, two months before he and Hunt
came to California and engaged in
the holdup attempt which resulted in
the shooting and death of c. Ivy
Thoms, Rose Hill druggist. The two
youths are scheduled to go to trial
on the Thoms murder Feb. Is.
Hickman said that at the time he
was employed in Smeltzer's store, 1112
Grand avenue, Kansas City, Mo-, and
it was there that the robbery was to
be staged.

NIANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 10 Up
The possibility of armed develop
ments within Managua itself within
the next few weeks was intinated by
Augustine Sandino, rebel leader, in a
conversation with Carleton Beals,
American magazine writer, who ar
rived yesterday with word that he
had spent five hours with Sandino.
Beals said that Sandino had told
him he could sustain himself indefl-
nitely and that he would continue

rines remained in Nicaragua. Beals
also said that Sandino had told him
of the terms he offers for restora-
ton of peace and that these terms
had been relayed by him to the
American legation. Regarding his trip

Sandino, then at San Rafael del Norte

IT was received with every courtesy
and consideration and all my ques-
tions were answered freely and with
out hesitation with a marvellous flu
ency of expression and we spoke in
Spanish from four o'clock in the
morning until nine. In the afternoon
of the same day Sandino provided
me with an officer to conduct me to
the automobile line in Sebaco SO
that I might reach Managua.
"Sandino declared he could SIS
tain himself indefinitely and that he
would continue fighting as long as
American marines remained in Mica
ragua. Unless the marines were with
drawn, he said he would no longer
be responsible for the lives of Ameri-
can officials resident in Nicaragua.
He also said that the American pub
lie may expect armed developments

receive me because did not make
the mistake of approaching him from

EN- ROUTE WITH HERBERT
HOOVER, Aug. 18.--William G. Nc
Adoo is expected to declare for Hoo
yer if and when Smith commits his
presidential candidacy to Hnodifica-
ton of the Volstead act.
Though McAdoo maintains silence
at his home in Santa Barbara, which
the Hoover party visited, he has an
nounced he would make clear his
position following delivery of Smiths
acceptance address.
McAdoo's friends. though denying
their statements are insr led, assert
that he will desert his lifelong
party, forget he was one a Demo-
cratic Cabinet member, and support
the Republican nominee.
But even to his most intimate
associates, many of whom gave Hoo
yer an enthusiastic welcome, Nc
Adoo has not diclosed his intentions
In his home circles, however
there exists no doubt that he will
assail Smith if the latter substitutes
his modification plank for the dry
pledge adopted at Houston.
Most of McAdoo's political lieu
tenants already have announced
their support of Hoover. But the
most significant desertion, perhaps
is that of Thomas Storke, editor OF
the Santa Barbara News. He and
McAdoo play tennis together, and
the latter is almost a daily visitor
to Storke's editorial Office.
Shortly after Smith was NOM
mated, Storke announced that his
newspaper, though Democratic
would support a Republican presi-
Dental nominee for the first time
So far McAdoo has sent no letter
Of protest to the "Vox Populi'
column.

went down at the wheel of the Britt
ish submarine L-55, it was revealed
today.
The submersible now is in dock at
Kronstadt and it was disclosed here
that skeletons of forty-three men,

The commanders body was at the
wheel, just where he had been in the
stirring naval engagement of June,
1919, when shell from a Russian
warship sank the undersea craft.
All Of the skeletons were salvaged
and probably will be returned to
Great Britain The Russian govern
ment first plans full military rites
for the men.
Rings and other personal effects
we're found upon the bodies in the
submarine and they are being saved
for the heirs.
The Russian press today charged
that the British Navy had hid the
extent of its losses in the anti
soviet campaign. Most of the news
papers pointed out that English
naval books showed only several"
casualties.

Urges Air Disarmament

By United Press
LONDON, Aug. 1s.-Air disarna-
ment to prevent horrible devastation
in the next war was urged by David
Lloyd George in an interview print
ed today in the London Evening
Star.
Lloyd George discussed this weeks
air maneuvers over London in an
interview at Churt, Surrey, his
nome. He said:
"It is horrible to think what war
in the air will mean in the future.
1t will be devastation and annihila-
tion-nothing else. 1t all shows
pacts are not the slightest use I'M
less you tackle disarmament.
I'm my last speech in the House
of Commons I pointed out that the
Kellogg pact and the Locarno treaty
would be of no use unless we ruth
lessly cut down ornaments. AS long
as countries are building airplanes
for bombing men, women, children
and defenseless cities and smashing
their habitations, it is idle to talk
about improved housing for the
people"

Sunday School Lesson

beginnings of Christianity there, re-
corded in our lesson, are of very
great significance, for it was to the
Christians at Philippi that Paul
later addressed one of the deepest
and noblest of his pastoral letters.
A Great Gateway
But beyond all this. Philippi is
significant as the gateway through
which Christianity came into Eu-
rope. How profound an event
that was! Like the discovery of
America, or like some of those
initial discoveries or inventions in
the world of conn cree or science
that have revolutionized the meth
DDS and ways of civilization.
Here. however, was an initial
event of supreme spiritual impor-
lance. 1t was the first step in the
establishing in the western world
of Christendom. and it meant the
beginning within Christendom Of
those experiences which have en-
riched the nations and lands In
which our lot and heritage are
cast.
Suppose that Paul had not an
swered the Macedonian call! How
different the history Of the west
ern world might have been.

SORE THROAT EPIDEMIC
TRACED TO SINGLE cow
dissemination of Milk Checks Fatal
Malady in Bay State.

BIZ Science Scrrtce
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE cpl
demic of septic sore throat which
ragged in a small Massachusetts
town, where more than an eighth of
the entire population suffered from
the disease. is one more good argu-
ment in favor of paSteurization, ac-
cording to the United States Public
Health Service.
The infection has been traced to
a single COW that had mastitis, a
disease of the udders. AS soon as
the milk was pasteurized, no more
cases were reported. Pasteurization
would have prevented the entire
outbreak.
Nearly every community, large or
small, that has provided for pas
teurization of it's milk supply has
been driven to this measure by just
such epidemics of milk-borne dis
ease. Apparently communities, like
human beings, refuse to profit by
each others experiences.
