IN BATTLE ON
JURY LEGALITY
Left Delaware Circuit
Bench at Muncie With
Task Undone.

MUNCIE, Ind, March 4.-Clar-
ence w. Dearth was judge of the
Delaware circuit court until Jan. l,
when he was succeeded by l.. A.
Guthries. Now Dearth, as lawyer,
joins with other attorneys, in con-
tending that the present grand jury
was impaneled contrary to law.
Pleas in abatement have been
filed in behalf of ten persons indict-
ed by the present grand jury, in
which ii is set out that by Indiana
law, names of the grand jurors
should have been drawn on the
Monday preceding the opening of
the January term of the court.
Dearth failed to order his jury
commissioners to draw the names
and when Judge Guthrie took the
bench he had no grand jury for his
first term. Immediately he ordered
commissioners to draw names of
persons to serve as jurors, and they
complied.
The situation is set up in answers
filed to the abatement proceedings
by Prosecutor Joe H. Davis.
Among these assailing the legal
ity of the grand jury is Harry E.
Hoffman, former sheriff, charged
with conspiracy to violate the cleo
ton laws, and Harry Stoneberger,
attorney, charged with robbery and
conspiracy to commit felony.
Judge Guthrie will rule on the
pleas within few days, he has an
nounced.

Looms as First Big Problem
to Be Solved by New
Administration.
U. S. MUST TAKE ACTION
Decision Must Be Made on
Backing Government or
Holding AIoof.
BY LYLE C. WILSON,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 4.--Mex-
leo, bugbear of his predecessors in
Office, cast its shadow across the
border today on President Hoover as
possibly the first international prob
lem to face him at the outset of his
administration.
With General Manuel Aguirre in
Sonora and his cousin General Jesus
Aguirre in Vera Cruz openly in re-
volt against the central government
of President PorteS Gil, the long
siInmering unrest of the anti-gov-
eminent forces in the republic
across the Rio Grande appeared to
be coming to a head.
What may be the outcome of the
revolutionists' moves during the last
tWenty-four hours could not be fore
cast, in the light Of the fragmentary
and conflicting early reports from
Mexico City and the border.
Faced With Decision
Should the revolt go beyond the
comparatively bloodless stage it has
maintained thus far, the American
. government will be faced with a de-
cision whether it will support the
existing government of Mexico or
maintain hands off, policy
In the last few weeks of the
Coolidge administration, when the
threat OF Mexican revolution Waxed
first hot then cold, it was indicated
in reliable quarters that should an
upheaval against the Gil regime de-
velop, the American government
might be expected to give moral
and material support to established
authority in Mexico.
Much Hinges on Morrow
This was natural in view of the
fact that since Ambassador Morrow
has been at his post in Mexico City
he has sought in every way to
strengthen the finances of the Mex
lean government and stabilize its
economical situation to the end that
: might win and hold the conf
aence of a vast majority of the
Mexican people.
If there were complete upset
now, it was pointed out, all of Nor
rows work would have to be done
over again.
But whether the Coolidge policy
in relation to the neighbor to the
south also proves to be the Hoover
policy remains to be seen.
Hoover takes Office with his Sec
rotary of state, Henry Stimson, on
the high Pacific ocean and not due
in Washington for three or four
weeks.
Must Decide for Self
Whatever policy he elects to fol-
low should the Mexican situation
develop into a crisis Immediately
will have to be his own policy, ar
rived at personally.
Woodrow Wilson came into office
with an unsettled Mexican situation
