Marines Advance

Managua, Mic, Jan. 25 P>-Amer- ican marines were installed today on the slope of Fl Chipote mountain, the stronghold which the Rebel General Augustine Sandino consid- cred impregnable. This was the sec ond rebel headquarters to fall before the marine advance in which San- dino is believed by marines to have been wounded.
 The Sandino headquarters at Quill all was seized by the marines on De- cember 30 after a battle in which five marines were killed. Sandino then withdrew to Fl Chipote and entrenched himself on the mountain. On January IA, American marine planes flew over the mountain, bombing and raking the rebels with machine gun fire. They brought back reports that 40 of his followers had been slain in this attack.
 Seeking to verify reports that sandino had been killed in the en- counter marine planes flew over Fl Chipote, last week. They noted no activity there, only signs of death and evacuation being evident. Marine patrols proceeded carefully through the mountainous jungle toward the stronghold.
 Yesterday, Major Archibald Young, commander of the marines in the affected section, advised headquar- ttrs that a column of marines had established itself on the slopes of Fl Chipote.
 More Rebels Slain
 Patrols operating in the vicinity have killed between six and ten rebels in the past few days.
 Colonel Louis Mason Gulick, in command of operations. said 1t was fairly well established that Sandino was wounded in the raid on January IA. It was not known how seri- ously.
 One thousand marines, of the Eleventh Regiment are marching in- to the district to take the field against Sandino.
 Further replacements of marines were announced in Washington. A third transport plane will be flown from Anacostia field, Washington, to Managua. making a stop at Miami ell route. Two officers and 5S men of Observation Squadron 6, station at Quantico. Va. will go 10 Nicara- qua aboard the airplane carrier Saratoga. as an avialion replacement unit. Both the plane and the men are eXpectel to leave Saturday.

tide BRAND, foreign minister Of
France.
In note to the four governments.

general way the form Of treaty the
United States is prepared to sign.
Its language is practically identical
with the original treaty proposed by
M. BRAND to the United States
last June.

the United States "would be pleased
to be informed as promptly as may
be convenient whether they are in
a position to give favorable consid-
GRAFTON to the conclusion Of . treaty

1.-THE government of the French
Republic, while no less eager ia

treaties of Locarno, or parties to
other treaties guaranteeing neu-
trality.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE JARDINE
COMES TO DEFENSE OF HERBERT HOOVER
Denies That Commerce Secre-
tary Usurped Some Of Pow.
ers Of His Department.
Hoover Actually Partial to
Agriculture Department, He
Claims

Washington, April 13.-lR-A
strong defense of Secretary Hoover
against charges that he has usurped
some Of the powers Of the agricul-
ture department and otherwise has
worked to injure the farmers was
made today by Secretary Jardine.
In q letter dated April II and
made public today, the agriculture
secretary told Charles S. Wilson,
former commissioner Of agriculture
Of New York state and now q farm
er at Hall, New York, that "there
is not the slightest essence Of truth
in these charges, and / would resent
them if they were made with honest
intentions"
Mr.. Wilson, under date Of April
10, had written Jardine saying he
had heard the charge made that
"Mr. Hoover, as secretary of COM
merce, has encroached upon the
work Of the department Of agricul-
ture and in other ways has him
dered the operation Of your depart
ment in the interest Of the farmers. -
Entitled to Frank Statement
1T has been my feeling" Wilson
said, that these charges were made
for Interior motives, but ! have
come to the conclusion that the
farmers Of New York state and Of
the country at large are deserving
of frank statement from you, for
these charges involve that branch
Of the federal government designed
to render service to American agri-
culture"
Replying, Secretary Jardine said
that he had consistently refused to
be drawn into = controversy on the
unfounded charges" because he
fully understood the motives Of the
small group that has been responsi.
BILE for making them"
"Under normal circumstances, !"
he wrote, II would not dignity
these attacks, but I have come to
the conclusion that the farmers Of
this country are entitled to know
the facts because these charges
seriously reflect upon the work Of
this department and the 10000
splendid people who are listed on
Has Given Fullest Support
During the three years in which
I have been secretary Of agriculture
] have enjoyed the who1e-hearted
and sympathetic support of Secre-
tary Hoover IN Ill matters pertain
ing to the administration Of the de-
partment Of agriculture, and his &C.
tions ALWAYS have heen n flha inter.

BISMARCK AND
MANDAN TO GET
NATURAL GAS
Montana . Dakota Company
Buys Local Gas Company
to Extend Pipe Lines

Natural gas will probably be flow
ing in the gas mains of Bismarck
and Mandan within a year, and
Valley City, jamestown and Fargo
and all other cities and towns along
the Northern Pacific route from
Montana to Fargo will be likely to
have gas service, as the result of a
transaction completed in Minneapolis
yesterday whereby the Montana-Da-
kota Power company purchased the
stock of the Consolidated Utilities
company, which now supplies Bis
marck, Mandan and Valley City with
gas for cooking and heating pur-
poses.
Completion of the deal was an
nounced at Minneapolis this MORN
ing by r. M. Heskett, vice president
Of the Montana Dakota company,
according to Associated Press dis
patches.
Trimble to Remain Here
James Trimble Of Bismarck, vice.
.peesident and general manager Of
the Consolidated Utilities company,
has been in the Twin Cities for the
last week and completed the nego-
tiations with the power company
there. Although his concern has
been purchased outright, Mr.. Trimble
will remain in charge of operations
in Bismarck, Mandan and Valley
City, Mr.. Heskett said today.
Piping of natural gas here from
the gas fields in Montana to Bis
marck and Mandan will give gas
users here q fuel with q much higher
B. T. u. content than that of arti-
ficial gas, at a much lower cost, ac-
cording to those familiar with the
use Of gas. It will probably require
a year to build the pipe line from
Montana, it has been stated.
State Senator Frank Ployhar Of
Valley City is president of the Con-
solidated Utilities company.
To Run Lines to Black Hills
The Montana Dakota Power COM
pany serves several cities on the
Montana-North Dakota border with
natural gas and now is running its
pipelines into the Black Hills. Mr..
Heskett said plans now are being
considered to extend the pipe lines
to the territory of the plants just
purchased and also to Fargo.
The Consolidated Utilities COM
pany was a North Dakota corpor-
alton with . capitalization OF

U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STANDS
PAT ON ITS TAX REDUCTION PROGRAM
Recommendations Presented to
Senate Finance Committee
Today-Program Calls For
Total Tax Cut of 1894, ,0OO,-
600 - Much More Than
Planned

Washington, April IS. (AP) -
Standing pat on its program of tax
reduction, the United States cham
Der Of commerce, which came to
grips with the administration on this
subject early in the present session,
presented it's recommendations today
to the senate finance committee.
Submitted by Felix M. McWhirter
of indianapolis, member of the
chambers committee on federal tax
alton, the program calls for a total
tax cut of 1894 900, 900, more than
500, 100000 higher than that rec
commended by the house and nearly
$500, 0,000,0 900 above that now suggest

The Proposals
The proposals, first submitted to
the house ways and means commit

ed, call for:
Reduction of the corporation in
come tax to not more than 10 per
cent.
Repeal of the remaining war
excise taxes on particular businesses.
Repeal Of the federal inheritance
tax.
The administration is in partial
agreement with this program, but
differs widely with the proposed cut
in the corporation levy. It now
favors a reduction from Is 1-2 to
only IL per cent. The house has
proposed an II 1-2 per cent rate.
Mr.. McWhirter said that nothing

months to cause the chamber to

Washington, April 13.-(AP)-
Bearing a majority of 80 senate
votes in its favor, the McNary-Hau-
gen farm relief bill rested today on
the doorstep of the house. where
early action is expected to send it to
the White House. There, an almost
certain veto faces it for the second
time.
Passed late yesterday by the SEN
ate by a vote of 53 to %. as COM
pared to the AZ to 80 sanction given
it at the last session, the measure
retained the controversial equaliza-
ton fee which caused President Cool
idge to veto the bill last year. prin-
cipally on the ground that this pro-
vision was unconstitutional.
Should the president again return
the measure to congress without his
approval, administration leaders in
the senate doubt whether it could be
passed over the veto even though
the vote yesterday showed more
than a two-thirds majority of those
present for it. They believe that
with q full membership present a
two-thirds majority could not be OBJ
tained.
Party lines and even state lines
broke wide apart on the final vote
and nine senator's shifted their posi-
tions Of q year ago, eight changing
from opposition to support OF the
bill.
The Real Test
The real showdown came on an
amendment by Sackett, Republican,
Kentucky, proposing elimination Of
the equalization fee by which funds
would be raised from levies on COM
modities to help market surpluses
and maintain pricesat ahigher level.
The amendment was rejected, as to
81, after long and acrimonious de-
bate during which Senator McNary.
Republican, Oregon, in charge of the
measure. strongly urged its enact
ment.
The senate also rejected, 81 to 5.
the $500, ,0O0, 900 direct subsidy bill
which Senator Brookhart, Republi-
can, Iowa, had proposed as substi-
tute for the McNary- Haugen meas
ure. The five supporting the sub
stitute were Blaine, Wisconsin;
Borah, Idaho, and Brookhart, Repub.
licans: and Bayard, Delaware. and
Blease, South Carolina, Democrats
