In Olympia, there Is a feeling
that the state officers will not
pledge their support to Mr.. Hart
ley, even though they are on the
same ticket. It is indicated that
they will either remain silent, but
more likely call on MIR. Hartley
for more definite diisavowal of
his charges. Consequently, the
prospects for harmony are not any
too bright.
Republican leaders, especially
those who are generally in symp-
athy with the elective officers
in conflict with Governor Hart
ley, have been Jared by news
paper reports of Attorney Gener-
al Dunbar having been arrested
twice within a week, once for
reckless driving and once on a
liquor charge. Because of the re-
ported delinquincies, the Seattle
Times editorially called on Mr..
Dunbar to resign from the Repub-
lican ticket, leaving it to the state
central committee to nominate q
successor, and similar hints were
made by other party leaders. But
Mr.. Dunbar showed no disposition
to relinquish his nomination.
Nevertheless, the incidents have
disturbed Mr.. Dunbar's political
associates.
Mr.. Hartley and his Democratic
challenger, Scott Bullitt, will be-
gin tangling in few days. So
far, the governor has not announc-
ed his plans, but he is expected to
get busy in a week or SO. On the
other hand, Mr.. Bullitt has an
nounced intention of taking the
stump Monday, indicating that he
would pursue the same tactics he
used in the primary carrying the
fight to Mr.. Hartley. On the whole
the Hartley-Bullitt clash is at
tracing interest and attousGhg
speculation. Meanwhile, Seattle
betters have made Mr.. Hartley q
10-7 favorite.
First returns from poll of
Seattle show some interesting
shifts, especially a marked dis
regard of party lines. On the basis
of 100 votes, Hoover was $685.
over Smith, Kenneth Macintosh
had 58-42 lead over Dill, while
Hartley nosed out Bullitt by 81
40.
1t may not mean much, but it
makes interesting speculation.

For an archeologist, B. g. 1000
is positively a recent date, and an
object 5000 years old is almost new.
In B. @. 1000 the degenerate
Cretan civilization was just COM
ing to an end: it had lasted 1000
years, and now it was being de-
stroyed by barbarians. In B. O.
1000 the Chinese had already had
several centuries experience of the
examination system for civil serv-
ice candidates. The Mayas, at
about the same date, were invading
the territories of the s0-called
Archaic peoples Of Central America
(whose civilization was from 1000
to 500 years old) and had begun
to drink cocoa-an early example

OF TROUBLES
Hartley Has Control in IL

Lead as Has Macintosh
Over Dill.

Reports from different parts OF
the state indicate that the support
ers of Governor Hartley ruled at
least II meetings of the county
central committees held last Sat
urday, and suggest that the gov
ernor's forces are in position to
control the state central commit
tee, which meets Saturday, elect
the state chairman and otherwise
take charge of the Republican
campaign organization. The same
reports showed that the faction
opposed to the Hartley group con-
trolled in IL counties, while four
counties were organized by com
promise, four are called doubt
full and three have not been heard
from.
But there is some doubt as to
what course the Hartley organiza-
ton will follow. Some of the gov
enor's advisors are urging caution,
suggesting that it would be more
beneficial for Mr.. Hartley's can
didacy to make a harmony move
by backing Chairman Sam Sum
mers. Secretary Frank Hull and
others of the present party organ
ization. On the other hand, some
of his counselors take the position
that it would be better to take con-
troll OF the state central committee
and campaign organization, not
only for the sake OF Mr.. Hartley's
candidacy, but also for the credit
of putting over the Hoover-Cur-
tbs ticket.

attempt reorganization, which Is

then it jammed. He saw the third

The huge hospital corps man
seized a machete from one of
the dead men, attacked the re-

two or three hard blows killed
him.
The original victim of the three

serious He was treated at field

C.E. Hughes Opposes.
Amendment To.
anAn1ericar, Union

HAVANA, Jan. % [P)-Two subjects
of extreme Importance were discussed
today at a meeting of the committee
on American union affairs of the
n-American conference. One was
high tariffs, which came in for de-
from Honorio Pueyrredon,
Argentine ambassador at Washington.
The other related to the organiza-
ton of the American union as
viewed by Charles Evans Hughes, head
OF the American delegation.
Mr.. Hughes was entirely opposed to
the projected Mexican amendments
seeking new regulations to govern the
selection of union membership, the
presidency of the union and the Of
flee of director general.
The principle underlying the deter
mination of tariff schedules under the
United States tariff act was criticised
severely by Senor Pueyrredon, who de-
clared this system precluded interna-
tional commerce and injured Pan
American relations. He also protested
against the erection of high, or pro-
hibitive tariff walls in inter-A American
commerce, asserting this practice was
in direct violation of the object for
which the Pan-American congress was
first called = the formation of an
American economic and commercial
unit.
The Argentine delegate made no di-
rect reference to any country but the
delegates assumed he had reference to
the American tariff policy, especially
as during the last year he had been
in controversies with the United States
government regarding the points in
his speech, particularly regarding agri-
culture quarantine.
The American delegation also SEEM
ed to assume that Senor Pueyrredon'S
remarks we're directed against the
Washington policy.
In speaking in loppbsition to the
Mexican delegations projected revi-
sions, Mr.. Hughes laid stress on the
necessity of retention of a permanent
director general because of the need of
able direction through long experience.
He also opposed change in the COM
position Of the governing board, which
at present is composed of the diplo-
matte representatives of the American
republics accredited to Washington and
the secretary of state of the United
States. He felt that the members of
this board should be in touch at all
times to answer call to board meet
ingS.
Mr.. Hughes endorsed the spirit f
Senor Pueyrredons desire for con-
crete economic understanding, but was
of the opinion that this would be diff
ficult while the Pan-American union
was inefficiently organized.
Regarding the presidency of the
governing board, Mr.. Hughes asserted
the office had no advantage for the
United States, because it carried no
consciousness of personal direction,
and added: "I never introduced a
proposal by my government at a

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. %
(AP)-The marine emblem on the
hat of Sergeant Harold I. CrOwell
Of the United States marine corps

poems with machetes, the metal
emblem warded off two blows
upon his head, saving him from
serious injury until companion,

cist mate, could come to his res
cue. The big, husky hospital
corps man today was the recipient
of flood of congratulations from

Gated by the huge increase of more

CRISTOBAL, Canal Zone, Jan. %
P- Back from his weeks hunting
and fishing trip in remote district
of Panama, Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh today spent an hour in the air
in his Spirit of st. Louis. His flight
carried him over several of the Ameri
can army posts in the Canal Zone.
Although there have, been reports
that the colonel would like to have a
social double to relieve him of the
strain Of the many functions and re-
ceptions which await him everywhere,
there was no indication today that
he had any desire for a double"
to handle his famous monoplane.
When he landed today after per-
forming a series Of stunts to the de-
light of a crowd on the field there
was no doubt in the minds of the
spectators that the American air
hero and his plane we're both in shape
to resume Friday the good will flight
to Havana for the Pan-American
conference.
The colonel said both he and his
plane were fit after the test flight
which he had made to determine
whether the overhauling given the
plane while he was on vacation was
satisfactory.
The itinerary Of the Colonels tour
for the continuation of his flight,
which calls for two days stop
over in each place, is as follows:
Leave Colon, Panama, Friday for
Bogota, Colombia, about 500 miles;
leave Bogota Jan. 90, for Caracas,

LECTURE TOUR IN OLD PLANE

Chamberlin found the old plane
slowed away in corner of the
FairchiId factory at Garden City
and bought it. With the aid Of
a mechanic and a volunteer news
paperman he went over it from
stem to stern, strengthening,
showing in requirements, patching
where cOrrOSion had done its
work.
Today the LilIiput Of the air,
still wearing its eight-year old
tires, was trundIed into Stewart
avenue, Garden City. The little
60 horsepower motor cracked into
life as though it had not long
since. been laid away to rust into
nothing, and as a gap in the
triffic appeared, Chamberlin gave
her the gun.
Amazed spectators watched and
then burst into applause as the
stunted old ship rOared along the
pavement for less than 100 feet
between rows of tall trees and
then lifted easily into the air.
After Chamberlin had repeated
this program, landing in the street
and rising second time, he flew
to Curtiss Field and made his
formal departure from there. His
first stop was Allentown, Pa. The
plane has a speed of 70 miles an
hour and cruising radius of not

formal notice on the committee of
bankers that it cannot carry forward

financial agent, announced today.
"Although completion of the gov
ernment's 1927 renittances over the
international committee agreement
has been somewhat delayed because
income from the oil industry has
greatly decreased in the last two
years, these payments will be COM
pleted in due course" the statement
said.
"The government has pointed out
to the committee it is not in a
position to resume, as of January l,

to visit Mexico City to examine the
situation more fully and to make

such information as would enable the
committee to consider new agree

"Such agreement, it is hoped, would
furnish within the governments
capacity a basis for annual payments
of interest and amortization upon its
external debt"
The government of Mexico, the
statement continues, is also prepared

French Note Raises Objec-
tions To MMltipartite
Covenant Plan


WASHINGTON, Jan. % R-Sec-
retary Kellogg made public today the
latest French note in the exchange
concerning multilateral treaty for
the outlaWing of war, but refrained
from making any comment. The COM
nnunication declared France stood
ready to negotiate a bilateral treaty
but when confronted by the initiative
of the United States in proposing
multipartite covenant, it had to
take into consideration the relations
existing among the various powers
which would be called upon to par
ticipate.
The note said ''the American gov
ernment cannot be unaware of the
fact that the great majority of the
powers of the world, and among them
most of the principal powers, are
making the organization and strength
ening Of peace the object of common
efforts carried on within the frame
work of the league cf nations"
Recalling that the league last
September adopted resolution tend
ing to the condemnation OF war, and
specifying that the action to be con-
demned as an international crime
aggressive war, the communication
added this was a condition of affairs
which the United States cannot de-
cline to take into consideration.
The desire was expressed by France
tto respond to the idea of the Amer
ican government an otto second its
efforts to the full extent compatible
with the situation created by its
international obligations"
