ARMY IN NORTH
Battle Looms as United
States Troops Invade

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 23>-a
War has been resumed in Nicara-
qua. While hundreds of poems from
the east coast are streaming to swell
the ranks of the Nationalists under
General Sandino one thousand Uni-
ted States marines marched out OF
Leon today on their way to renew
the war against the Nationalist army
in the district of Nueva Segovia.
Batteries of mountain guns, NOR
tars, artillery and hundreds of lumb-
ering ox-carts loaded with supplies
and ammunition passed between the
rows of silent Nicaraguans lining the
streets of the town to watch the long
files of United States marines march
ing to invade the northwestern dis
trict of their country. One hundred
mules were taken with the troops to
aid them in the difficult mountain
Businesses of Nueva Segovia.
The long tramp of the marines will
take them from western Nicaragua
to the extreme north where those
who survive the fevers and fatigues
of the march thru the Nicaraguan
jungle will be thrown into battle
against the forces of General Aug
usto Sandino.

- Hundreds ag Nii<s4ragrars from the

armed only with the machetes they
nave brought from their cane cutting.
the Nicaraguans are treking thru the
jungles and swimming the rivers that
surround the difficult mountain coun-
try where Sandino's forces are in
control. Feeling is intense thruout
the country, and fear is expressed
that the withdrawal of the marine
detachments from interior planta-
tions where they were keeping tha
workers in submission, may lead to
open fighting when the battle begins
around Ell Chipote.

Three Nicaraguans were killed to-

COUNSEL APPEARS
AS DEFENDER OF
PUBLIC INTEREST
Opposing Lawyers in
Friendly Bout
By ROBERT MITCHELL.

Taking up the unusual role of de-
fender of the city's interests, James
L. Quackenbush, general counsel for
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany, yesterday argued before JUS
tice Isadore Wasservogel that unless
an injunction is granted his company

from organizing the traction workers
a strike is inevitable in New Yorl
City.
Basing his case almost entirely OF
the legality of the individual "yelloN
dog" contract, Quackenbush took up
the offensive in the long-heralded
battle against the officers and the
100000 members of the American
Federation of Labor. The chief sup
port offered by the dictator of the

famous Hitchman decision by which
a coal company of West Virginia
secured a decision against the United
Mine Workers of America.
The Hitchman Precedent.
This decision by the United States
Supreme Court establishes the val
idity in law of the "yellow dog" con-
tract. "There is only one main ques-
ton for the court to decide" Quack-
enbush contended, whether we are

MEXICO AIMS TO
CURB U. S. POWER
Introduces Resolution
at Havana Meet

HAVANA, Jan. 23.-There was
little indication that the Pan-Amer-
lean conference, which is admittedly
dominated by the United States,
would seriously entertain Mexico's
resolution for the reorganization Of
the Pan-American Union. The Mexi-
can proposal, which was filed today,
would remove the Craftsmanship Of
the union from the U. S. secretary
Of state and give it in rotation to
the twenty-one member nations Of
the Pan-American Union.
The Mexican delegation also pro-
posed that the governments of the
nations participating in the unions
elect the governing board. At present
the board of the Pan-American Union
consists of Latin-American ambas-
sadors to Washington, headed by the
secretary of the United States.
Another proposal of the Mexican
delegation, believed to be aimed at
Leo S. Rowe, director-general of the
Union, would keep the director-gen-
eral from occupying any political
post. DR.. Rowe is member of the
United States delegation to the
Havana conference.
A number of members of the COM
mission appointed to consider the
Mexican proposals attacked the prin-
cipal features Of the Mexican plan.

bassador to Washington, delivered

of tariff barriers between the Amer

the million dollar Florence E. S.
Knapp census fund graft case
here.
Charged specifically with
forgery, grand larceny, false
audits and certifications and
illegal removal of state records,
Mrs. Knapp, of Syracuse, republican
former secretary of state, today faced
an investigation by the March term
of the Albany county grand jury OF
her administration of the $1,200,000
New York State census fund in 1925.
A University Dean.
These charges are made against
Mrs. Knapp by Randall ]. LeBoeuf,
Jr., Albany attorney, who as More
land commissioner last fall investi-
gated Mrs. Knapp's administration.
The report was made public today by
Gov. Alfred E. Smith.
Owing to the inflated prestige en-
joyed by the holders of university de-
grees it is significant that Mrs.
Knapp is dean of women at Syracuse
University.
The report comes as result of
political expediency on the one hand
and of unusual boldness on the part
of former republican party raiders on
the other hand. The presidential as
pirations of Gov. Smith, leading
democratic candidate, are being pub
licly cited as reason for the detailed
nature of the report.
LeBoeuf charges in his report that
Mrs. Knapp illegally spent and vast
