When to Intervene.

In series cf three lectures on the
EtsEord Little Foundation a' Prince
ten, Charles E, Hughes has dealt with
the fundamentals Of Our Intervention
policy IN Latin America. With parttc'i-
lar reference to Nicaragua, n a way
that lifts the deh3tabie issues cicar OF
the fogSy MISUNDERSTANDING that so
often becIouds them While the United
States recognizes the right of revolu-
tion, said Mr. Hughes, the United States
vas confronted, in Nicaragua, with a
choice Of being "on the side OF blood
shed and disorder as opposed to m
effort, even If difficult and at times
unsuccessful. to promote stability. And
those who maintain that 1t is none OF
cur business how Nicaraguans choose TO
govern themselves must ask themselves
whether the United states could con-
done, for an indefinite period. blood
81 I'd and disorder when the opportunity
presented itself to assist In the estab-
lishment OF constitutional government,
changes in which would be brought
about by legitimate use of the ballot.
All of this, Of course. is in addition to
the fact that our presence in Nicaragua
today is in accordance with an agree
ment between warning factions which
laid down their arms only upon the
guarantee that the United States would
supervise the coming elections.
Mr.. Hughes emphasizes the fact that
the people of Latin America resent in
terventinn Of any sort. OF any possible
description, anywhere. They are not
disposed 10 draw distinctions Or admit
tuStiacattons They treasure thei- in
dependence as their most precious pos
session. They are intensely national
istic." But, on the other hand, there is
no disposition on the part Of the United
States to forego the right to protect its
nationals when their lives and prop
erty are inlperiled by the failure Of
government. II any American PTesi-
dent deliberately withheld protection TO
our nationals in time Of danger. said
Mr. Hughes, '-he would be condemned
throughout the land"
These have always been the horns OF
the dilemma, upon which Uncle Sam
finds himself whenever there is uuss-
ton Of intervening. How may they be
escaped? They cannot be. altogether.
said Mr.. Hughes. but ut is manifest
that we should make clear precisely
what We propose TO do and what we
propose not to do. II should be evident
that our policy Is one Of non-inter-
sention; that we limit our interpcsition
to pressing exigency well established;
that we are not seeking control OF the
people Of other lands or To interfere
with the governments they desire: that
our PURPOSES are reasonable and can
readily be justified to governments that
accept the principles Of international
Law and perform their admitted inter-
national obligations"
II the United states pursues this
formula, as simple as it is, there viii
always be ample refutation Of the
charges of imperialism and interVen-
tion for conquest. The history OF our
Intervention in the past Is a very good
guarantee that the formula Will be
preserved.

Baker Hearing
For Tomorrow

Mrs. Lillian Baker was arraign-
ed before Judge l. Mayfield late
yesterday afternoon on a charge OF
murder. Don c. Bitler, local at,
tornev, appeared as counsel for the
defendant and preliminary hearing
in the ease was set for . o clock to-
morrow afternoon. The defendant
was remanded to the custody of the
sheriff, bail being refused.
The charge grows out of the
shooting to death of Mack Baker,
her husband, in their home in the
Coates Apartments on Adams street
several days ago.
The defendant in n statement fol-
lowing the shooting contended that
it was accidental but the victim
declared that the accused pointed
a revolver at him and fired when
he told her she "didn't have the
nerve.
Complaint in the case was made
by Frank Conlev, city patrolman,
after coroner 5 jury returned an
open verdict.

But though Chip was unable to

ing one four-base blow which threat

INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON
POINTS IN HICKMAN TRIAL

struggle do not expect the jury to
decide the merits of the battle on
anyone else except the dummy. For
if they were really giving their
opinion about Hickman they would
be usurping the functions of the
jury which would be in violation of
the provisions of the law.
Therefore all the days spent in
court with the alienists during the
Hickman trial were devoted to the
sanity or insanity of the hypothet-
zeal person, the machinery of JUS
tice anticipating that the jury
might find some similarity in the
characteristics of the dummy and
Hickman that might help them in
determining the sanity or insanity
of the confessed murderer of Mar
ion Parker.
The hypothetical question is gem
orally based upon the evidence ad-
duced in the course of the trial, in
order to elicit an expert opinion
material to the case on trial.
But it always results in such ar
SulHeHl anu NOluiil lHOuS didiN litdl l
explanations ard voluntary sugges-
tions because of preiudiees and per-
sonal interests of the parties con-
cerned in the expert opinion, that
the jurors become confused rather
than enlightened.
Doctor William \. White, the
famous psvchiatrist writing of the
fallacy of expert opinion based up
on the hypothetical question claims:
"Thc logical and philosophical err
ror of separating the individual
from his conduct, is not corrected
by assuming hypothetical individ-
ual to be the bearer of these states
of mind aud body and the doer of
the various acts in question.
1t is very doubtful whether the
testimony of experts on insanity is
of any material benefit in the ad-
ministration of criminal justice.
1t seems to me that the proper
place for an unprejudiced opinion
on mental disorders is in a medical
institution and not in courtroom.

eight counts of forgery, today faced
