TWO VIEWPOINTS AT HAVANA
ON RIGHT OF INTERVENTION

tervention is the one creating
the most difficulty and once it
is solved, it was believed other
matters would be disposed of
quickly.
The two conflicting view
points on intervention may be
summarized as:
1.-The United States sup
porting the Monroe Doctrine,
opposed to the intervention of
European countries into Ameri-
can affairs.
2.-Many of the Latin-Ameri-
can delegates, on the other
hand, point out that even
though obliged by Circumstance
es occasionally to tolerate or
acquiesce in an act of interven-
tion, it would obviously be the
height of national folly for any
country voluntarily to enter in
to any direct or implied recog-
milton of right to intervene as
matter of juridicial principle.

STOCKS GAIN
AFTER SLUMP
Pools Resume Operations in
Some Recent FavOrites Aft.
or Sharp Reactions

New .,ork, Feb. S.-(AP)-Sharp
reactions took place in many stocks
during the early part Of today's
stock market but a recover. set in
during the afternoon as pools re-
sumed operations in some Of the re-
cent favorites. Passing of the
American Sugar Refining dividend
was followed by a break of ,.11A
points in that stock, but i. failed to
halt the recovery which was Under
way when the announcement was
made Trading, which had been con-
Quoted at a brisk pace during the
morning, turned dull on the rally.
The weekly steel trade news re-
ported further improvement in the
trade position, and Wall street looks
for an increase of more than 300, 900
tons in the January untitled orders
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton, which will be made public on
Friday. General Motor dividend &C.
ton tomorrow also is awaited with
considerable interest, although the
final quarter earnings will not be
available until the middle of the
month.
Montgomery Ward continued its
sensational advance by climbing
nearly six point to another new
high record at 147A. Consolidated
Gas jumped more than four points
to new top at l34%. United
States Industrial Alcohol crossed
LIZ to the highest price i seven
years. Coppers moved forward un-
der the leadership of kennecott.
Two theories we're advanced for
the recent weakness of Freeport,
Texas, one that liquidation was
basd on an unfavorable report on
the life of the property. and the
other that it represented the forced
liquidation of large block of stock.
Freeport, Greene Cananea, and Va
nadium Steel all rallied three to four
points from their earlier low levels
United States Steel common and
General Motors also were prominent
in the afternoon recovery.

LIVESTOCK
WHEAT PRICES
GO DOWNWARD
Unfav0rable Weather an d
Prospective Export Bust
ness Strengthen Corn

Chicago, Feb. S.-tP)--Lowering
of ocean freight rates from Argen-
tine together with cxpcctance Of
large shipments from that country,
led to an early downturn in wheat
values today. In the corn market,
unfavorablc weather and prospec-
tive export business were strength
cning factors. Opening 3-8 to "a
to 7-8 cent off, wheat held to the
initial range. Corn started at 1-8
cent decline to an equal advance,
and subsequently hardened all
around. Oats were steady, provi-
sions were higher.
In connection with break in YES
sci rates from Argentine announced
today, and with predictions Of in
creased shipments from there sig
nificancc was attached to the fact
that Liverpool wheat quotations to-
day showed a decided drop, whereas
an advance had been looked for. On
the other hand. however. reports
were current telling Of serious dam
age to winter wheat in Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri.
Indications today Of falling off
in the volume of the corn crop move
ll1ent gave emphasis to the bullish
effect of moist weather prevailing.
Besides, the forecast was for con-
tinucd rain or snow tonight in vari-
Gus sections, and no appearance Of
low temperatures.

COLLEGE ACES
ARE MATCHED
WITH PELTZER
Johnny Sittig and Ray Conger
Will Clash With Crack
German in Chicago

Chicago, Feb. 8.-(AP)-Two col
lege champions of 1927, the best in
the middle west, have been matched
with DR.. Otto Peltzer Of Germany,
the worlds champion at the half mile
run, in the annual indoor meet OF the
illinois Athletic Club, February TO-.
They are Johnny Sittig, formerly
of the University of Illinois, West
ern Conference title holder at the
half-mile, and Raymond Conger,
formerly of Iowa State University,
Missouri Valley conference cham
pion at one mile. Both won their
titles in the 1927 conference outdoor
meets.
In addition, each won his event in
the National Collegiate A. A. annual
meet in Chicago last June, estab-
fishing the best time for the distance
Of any college runner in 1927. Con-
ger ran the mile then in 4:17.6, and
Sittig ran the half-mile in 1:54.2.
They were graduated from their uni
versities last spring, and now repre-
sent Chicago clubs.
DR.. Peltzer expressed preference
for race at 1000 yards in the l. A.
c. meet and there is an annual fix
ture on the program at that distance.
It falls about midway between the
distances Ut which Sittig and Conger
are at their very best.
The meet will be held in the huge
arena of the Chicago Riding Club,
on six lap track. Efforts are be-
ing made to increase the field which
the German star will face to five
Americans.

senting a revamped lineup to the
home court fans, Coleharbor high
school Midgets leaped out Of their
slump to score an impressive win
over Mercer by a count Of ZIG, at
Coleharbor.
Led by Ulrich, chief move in the
revamping operation, the Midgets
opened the battle with q barrage Of
shots, a double counter by DOME
Saldin clocking almost simultane-
ously with the whistle. The sue
cessful start provided the impetus
for the Midgets' sparkling play in
the remaining periods which were
featured with veritable clock-like
punches at the hoop, 80 regular
wele the double counters made when
needed to offset an occasional
thrust by the waning Mercerites.
When the. final frame appeared,
Mercer, spired by the dazzling
pace of the locals, combined to
create a sizzling finish which saw
three field goals in the final three
minutes Cor the dashing Midgets.
Ulrich, Fuglie and DOME Saldin
led the scoring with four counters
apiece, while vetter and Peightal
looked good at the defensive berths
for Coleharbor. Skaley was Mer-
GERS best bet.
The Coleharbor girls lost their
return game with Mercer by a 80
count, failing to register goa
from the field.

SLAIN GIRLS FATHER
is ON WITNESS STAND

Los Angeles, Feb. 8.-( AP) -
Perry NJ. Parker, who paid $1,000
ransom for the mutilated torso of
his little daughter Marian, saddened
and hushed a crowded courtroom
when he appeared today as a prose-:
cution witness in the sanity trial Of
William Edward Hickman, confessed
murderer of the child.
Hickman sat slumped in his chair
and with head slightly bowed while
the state produced his crime
weapons, the ransom money, and fol-
lowed this up with the dramatic APP
pearancc of his victims father. The
defendant apparently avoided seeing
Parker in the witness chair, never
turning his head the slightest in
that direction.
Parker was called upon to testify
but briefly. He identified letters
and kilograms he received from the
kidnaper, the bills he paid as ram
som to the defendant, and identified
Hickman in the words: "He was
the man who took the money"
The prosecution rested it's case as
recess was ordered after putting on
the stand one final witness after the
slain gilr's father had testified.
Immediately after a 1O-minute
court recess the defense announced
that it would offer no rebuttal testi-
mony and the trial was adjourned
to 2 p. M, when the closing argu-
ments will be begun.
