The mother of Nicholas Lee Eagles,
from whom he tried to hide his fate,
knew shortly after she left the Jail
Thursday, when she saw him for the

Arthur Eagles, his sister-in-law, who
declared that, despite the objections Of
her husband, she told the elderly wom-
an of her sons fate because thought
it best that she know the truth"
Eagles had arranged before his death
for a letter to be sent his mother from
Atlanta, where he told her, he was to
be imprisoned for life, stating that he
died there He thought the ruse would
succeed since Mrs. Eagles cannot read

In brief address to the gathering
Mr.. Ohtani gave 1t as his opinion that
there is no prospect for an early re-
covery from the shipping slump, which
occurred after the war.
The condition of world shipping III
1927, though showing a slightly better
tendency" Mr. Ohtani said, was on
the whole a continuation OF the deep
rooted depression that has prevailed
since the Spring of 1921 when the post
war boom came TO an abrupt end"
Mr., Ohtani said the situation in
world shipping today may be summed
up as a persistent continuation of sX-

DRY LEAFLET BAN
MAY Be RETAINED
School Board Secretary Says
w. c. T. u. Resolution Not
Likely to Alter Decision.

Despite a resolution adopted by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
yesterday protesting a decision of the
Board OF Education TO bar temperance
leaflets from the public schools, 1t is
not likely that the board will reScind
its action. Harry o. Hine, secretary,
declared today.
The question of the temperance
leaflets came UP at the closing session
yesterday of the District of Columbia
w. c. T. u. meeting in the Hamline
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Stating that the union did not wish
to. take issue with the Board of Educa-
ton on the matter, the resolution
continued
The board was informed that the
leaflets contain well established scien-
tiflc facts May we not hope that fur
their consideration of the subject will
lead to q different conclusion.
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Hine
said that while he could not speak for
the board, he did not believe the regu-
lation was aimed specifically at the
temperance leaflets.
Andrew Wilson, president of the Dis
trict Anti-Saloon League, said more
than as per cent Of the firms which had
been engaged in trafIic dealing with
industrial alcohol voluntarily gave up
their permits after the passage of new
regulations governing this activity by
the Treasury Department.
"As soon as dealers were required to
show proof Of legitimate use before
withdrawal" he said. more than l0o.-
600 gallons Of alcohol disappeared from
the bootleg trade"
William Jarvis, executive secretary of
the Citizens Service Association, asked
financial aid for his organization.

COOLIDGE MAY TAKE
STUMP FOR HOOVER.
Work Apt to Ask President
to Make Speeches, OBJ
servers Here Feel.

Reports circulating in the Republi-
can camp here today have it that back
of Secretary Works decision to pay a
visit to President Coolidge at the Sum-
mer White House is hope that the
President will volunteer to make a
speech or two for the Hoover campaign.
DR.. Work who is chairman of the
Hoover-Curtis campaign committee, ex-
poets to leave for Wisconsin about the
end Of this month. His ostensible pur-
pose is to hand to Mr. Coolidge his res
ignation as Secretary of the Interior.
There are rumorS. however. that the
real motive is to sound out the Presi-
dents attitude on suggestions that he
take an active role Iii the forthcoming
campaign. Whether he will be asked
directly to make some addresses in
behalf Of Hoover is decidedly uncer~
tain.
Don't Know, Says Work.
Questioned today as to the possible
ity of a request being made OF the
President to take the stump, DR.. Work
said. II don't know"
Dispatches from Brule have indi-
Gated the Presidents surprise at re-
ports that DIR. Work was planning to
pay him a visit Despite Mr.. Coolidge's
apparent lack of knowledge about the
impending visit, DR.. Work sticks by his
assertion that he will call on the Presl-
dent within the next week or so.
DIR. Work said today that the cam
paign organization in the States al
ready Is in shape, and needs only
little stimulation" to set the campaign
rolling onward toward a successful
10 conferences
daily with State leaders. confer
ence of several of these will be held
this afternoon at the Willard Hotel.
James w. Good, pre-convention man
ager of the Hoover forces, was due mere
today. He will be asked to take charge
of the Western division of the cam
paign organization. There IS some
doubt about his ability to do so, because
of the pressure of his law business in
Iowa. He already has forsaken his
practice for several months in further
ance of the Hoover cause.
Good in Farley Today.
Good was scheduled to confer with
both Hoover and Work during the after
noon. Senator Edge of New Jersey, in
conference with DIR. Work this morning,
reported that there was no reason to
regard New Jersey as "debataole
State. 1t is for Hoover over Smith, Edge
declared
DR.. Work said that the doubt that
had at one time beclouded New Jerseys
stand on Hoover has cleared away. SEN
ator Edge pointed out that the appoint
ment of Representative Fort as secre-
tary of the national committee and OF
Daniel E. Pomeroy, also of New Jersey,
rs vice chairman. has greatly pleased
Republicans in New Jersey.
DR.. Work announced to the press that
there was mo bad news" from any
point Everything is proceeding smooth
ly and satisfactorily. he stated.

Mexican Proposal
On entation
Accepted BY Union.

HAVANA, Jan. Il P)-One Of the
Mexican proposals for organization
of the Pan-American unions COVER
ing board in washington, attacked last
week as revolutionary and aggressive,
received today the unanimous approV-
al of the conference committee on
Pan American union. The proposal
approved is that which suggests gov
ernments be allowed to designate any
citizen as a representative on the gov
erning board instead of confining rep
resentation to diplomats at Washing
ton, as now.
Members of the union committee to-
day voted for optional double repre-
sentation in Washington on the part
of their 'governments-the regular dip
lomatic representation at the depart
ment of state and the new and special
representation at the Pan-AInerican
union headquarters.
Under the new arrangement the dip
lomat may assume the extra duties OF
the Pan American union governing
board, as has been the case in the
past, if his government so wills. 1t is
not mandatory, however, that he do so
if his government should desire TO
name some other to the governing
boards post, restricting the diplomat to
his usual duties.
Charles Evans Hughes, leader of the
American delegation, aligned himself
with general opinion as to granting
the Mexican proposals in brief state
ment he asserted that the American
republics could have entire freedom in
selecting representatives for the Pan
American union governing board, and
that the washington government would
appreciate nothing more than to have
positive action taken on this matter.
He added that America naturally re-
served the right to appoint to the
board whom it thinks most fit. The
second part of the Mexican govern
ment's proposal, that is that the exc
cutive power on the governing board
be rotated to the governments COM
prising the union in their alphabetical
order, was given scant consideration
today. Since last Wednesday, when
the two proposals first were submitted
by Salvador Urbina, Mexican spokes
man, this has been the subject of con-
siderable protest There has been no
definite action taken on this latter
however.
This mornings meeting, although
ending with manifest cordiality, among
all the delegates. opened with the in
lection in the session of one of thF
most puzzling Latin American prob
lems-Bolivia's aspirations to an out
let to the sea.
Jose Antezana, Bolivian delegate
solemnly warned the committee that
the establishment of continental peace
always will be "ephemereal" as Ions
as Bolivia's problem is unsettled. Bo'
livia's problem is such, Antezana said
that enclosed as it is by high noun
tains, she cannot fully enjoy her owl
