Keen Sniff
Judge Refuses to Parole
Boy to Brother Who
Took Drink.

EEDERAL JUDGE ROBERT c.
Il BALTZELL'S ability to de-
tect a liquor laden breath is the
indirect cause of Charles Edward
Elliott, 81, Louisville. being i'll the
Marion County Jail instead of at
liberty today.
The direct cause of Elliott's In
generation was a drink of liquor
taken Tuesday morning at Louis
vile by his brother, John, who
came here Tuesday afternoon to
obtain custody of Charles, whom
Baltzell had decided to release
on a suspended sentence of fiji
teen months.
John and another brother,
Joseph, had been promised
custody OF Charles by Baltzell and
a deputy United States marshal
had been sent to the Jail to bring
the youth to court.
Noticing suspicious odor, the
court asked;
Have you been drlnklng?"
well, yes, 1 did take a drink
before I left home" John adj
mitted.
"You should be arrested for in
toxication," Baltzell said. 81 am
not going to release Charles to
anyone who has been drinking.
You may be the cause of him
serving fifteen months at Leaven-
worth.
IT will have the Department of
Justice investigate your home and
if your action of today is typical
of his home life, I will not sus-
pend his sentence. He probably
would be under better influence at
Leavenworth than at his home"
Promises never to touch an
other drop" failed to move the
court.
Charles was arrested with Rog-
er Henry O'Neil and James Carl
Mullikin, both II, charged with
driving a stolen automobile from
Louisville, KY, to Columbus, Ind,
while intoxicated. Sentences of a
year and a day each for the two
younger boys have been SuS-
pended.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 1S-Strong
sentiment for discussion of the
Nicaraguan question at the Havana
Pan-American conference was voiced
privately today in political circles
all over South America and openly
in newspapers.
Analyses of President Coolidge's
speech at the conference generally
agreed in charging that it had ig-
nored questions vital to relations of
the western republics.
"The specter of Nicaragua stalked
at the conference while Coolidge de-
livered pleasing generalities," COM
mented La Razon of Buenos Aires.
"'The dismemberment of Poland
began in much the same way as has
the military occupation by the
United States in Central American
territory.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Authori-
ties throughout the East today-all
the way from Maine to Pennsyl-
vania-were searching for two young
collegianS who have disappeared
from their schools.
Miss Frances st. John Smith dis
appeared from Smith College at
Northampton, Mass, last week and
has not been seen since.
Today it was learned that a search
was under way for Hugo Bezdek,
Jr., son Of the noted Penn State
football coach, who did not return
to Dartmouth College. at Hanover,
N. H., after the Christmas holi-
days.
There is striking resemblance in
the two disappearances - both
we're worried about their studies.
Miss Smith, daughter of a New
York banker, was not failing, but
her grades were not high. Bezdek
had been warned before he left his
school for the Christmas vacation
that he might be dropped if his
grades did not improve.
The girl has been reported seen in
many sections of the East Maine,
and other New Eng
land States are being searched. One
man reported having seen a girl

SCHOOL SITE OFFERED
Irvington Plot to Cost
$4,000 Is Considered.

A proposed site for an Irvington
high school suggested by Walter E..
Jenney. landscape gardener, at Au-
dubon Rd. and Pleasant Run Blvd,
is understood to be under consider
alton by school board members.
The estimated cost of the four
and one-half acre plot is $4,000.
The site is just east of Jameson
Park and is three blocks west of
Pleasant Run golf course.
School officials believe the site
would prove more advantageous
than the Butler campus, which has
been offered for sale to the board,
because of the rapid growth north
of Irvington and the more limited
development south, due to B. & o.
and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.
Jenney, who owns most of the
tract, offered his ground for $4,000,
estimating the cost of two other
small parcels at $4,000.
Ten acres of vacant lots are avail
ale just north of the proposed site
for an athletic field, Jenney told
school officials.

Determination to Cast Out

of Havana Farley.
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press STAFF Correspondent

HAVANA, Jan. 18.-Where states
men had agreed tacitly to ignore it,
the Cuban public brought into the
open today the Nicraguan question
from the background of the Pan
American conference.
Flags of the twenty-one partici-
pating nations were hoisted cere-
moniouSly over the meeting place
A popular demonstration greeted the
Nicaraguan flag. 1t was the only
one cheered.
Martinez Ortiz, Secretary of State
for Cuba, host of the conference, was
prepared to express Cuba's greeting
to her sister republics and her hon.
age to the ideal of Pan-American-
ism; Alexandra Lira, president of the
Chilean delegation, was to reply, in
behalf of all the delegations.
Cuban May Head Conference
The election of DR.. Antonio S. De
Rustamente, chief of the Cuban
delegation, as permanent president
of the conference, was next in or
der, a tribute not alone to Cuba,
but to a statesman distinguished
worldwide for his effort to encour-
age the international rule of law.
The announcement of plans for
organization Of the conference also
was in order, a matter of vast i'm
portance considering that nearly
100 delegates, 300 secretaries, clerks
and translaters, and 100 correspond
ents are engaged.
A week of preliminary spectacle,
entertainment and hectic planning
had left all delegations in a mood
for serious work. In every mind
the thought had grown that the
definition and Qualification of prin-
ciples of international law affect
ing the destinies of American re-
publics is the transcendental sub
ject awaiting attention.
Try to Remove Politics
The atmosphere has developed
propitiously to efforts in this direc-
ton. The whole situation turns on
the ability of the United States
delegation to shift the international
criterion from political to
1uridical basis. This accomplished,
the sore places in inter-American
politics may heal without lancing.
Amid it all, the lifelong interest
of Charles Evans Hughes in inter-
national law, and the personal pres
tige accrued therefrom, may prove
the dominant factor in the drift OF
events.
A committee on initiatives was
appointed Tuesday at meeting of
the twenty-one delegation presi-
dents and it was pointed out by
some that this may prevent in
clusion of any controversial political
issues in the official agenda of the
conference.
The committee on initiatives
which was used at the Santiago,
Chile, Pan-American conference
will listen to all new proposals
which are outside the official
agenda. Should the committee
vote out the proposal, then it goes
before the full body of the confer
ence.
However, it was believed that the
committee would adopt a unani-
nous consent rule and some OBJ
servers say this will prevent many
of the political issues ever being
voted out Of committee.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla, Jan.
~ 18.-The crowded hour of
John D. Rockefeller's day begins,
with almost unfailing regularity,
at 1905 a. m.
Then, alone in the tonneau of
his closed motor car, the one time
"Octupus" starts for the golf
course quarter of a mile from
his home TO distribute his famous
dimes, chat with any one he may

Rockefeller's arrival at the course.

fifty yards from the first tee, the
tall, stopped figure of the for

with his chauffeur'S help John
D." shed a dark raglan overcoat,
gray coat and gray silk vest.
He stood blinking in the sun
and smiling for a moment, wait
ing apparently eagerly for the
never-failing group of curious
visitors to approach.
Rockefellers smile broadened
as they punched in front of him
-staElmering women, giggling
girls and diff1dent men. There
were a few words of inconseouen-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, The
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee probably will authorize an in
vestigation Of the American Mica
raguan policy at it's meeting next
Wednesday, Chairman Borah said
today, after the committee had dis
cusSed Nicaraguan conditions for
two hours in executive session.
Previously, the committee had in
dicated 1t would await conclusion
of the Pan-American conference at
Havana before an investigation.
Members today expressed belief
there was no reason for further de-
lay, inaSmuch as President Coolidge
Is returning tomorrow.
Two resolutions, introduced by
Senator'S Heflin and Wheeler, were
discussed. Helms directs withdraw
al Of American marines from
Nicaragua and Wheeler's would
authorize investigation of American
investments.
The resolutions may be combined,
Borah indicated, or a new resolution
embodying the spirit of both may be
framed by the committee.
Any investigation would be under
taken by the Foreign Relations
Committee or a special committee to
be APPOINTED bV Vice President

The committee also discussed the

CITY MUST DO
WITHOUT new
BASEBALL LOT
Perry Interests Do Not Pro-
pose to Seek Further; Re-
fuse North Side Site.

Indianapolis will be without a new
ball park this summer, according to
indications today following denial
Tuesday of a permit to build a $780,
600 plant on E. Thirty Eighth st.
The board of coming appeals
Tuesday denied the petition to build
the new park south of the State
Playground along E. Thirty Eighth
ST., after several hundred property
oWScrS protested the location.
Martin M. Hugo, ball club attor-
ney, said the north side site had
been selected and the Perry inter-
ests did not propose to spend a half
million dollars on some site selected
by Others"
Perry Declines Comment
Hugg said his clients would not
seek a third site for their proposed
recreational park and that In
dianapolis probably would not have
a new park for several years. There
is short time lease on the w.
Washington st. location which
would make it impractical to i'm
prove the park there, Hugg said.
James A. Perry, club owner, de-
clined to comment of the city'S &C.
ton in refusing permissionfto erect
the north side stadium except to
say "let the public judge"
The board of coming appeals vote
was 5 to against the project.
Councilman Austin H. Todd
changed his vote to break the tie
after the park board announced 1t
was unanimously against the inn
provement.
Several court decisions have up
held the park boards authority over
ground within 500 feet of a boule-
ward and it was believed the park
board ruling was final.
Follows Other Rulings
Michael E. Foley, park board
member, said the proposed park was
mot in keeping with his concept of
boulevard"
Il feel the residents of that Sec
ton are entitled to peace, quiet and
happiness without disturbance from
a private business enterprise" Foley
said.
Park Board President John E. Mil

accordance with former rulings of
the board on proposed business pro-
jectS along boulevards.
