that a large percentage of these were

All such allegations are generally

The political opponents of Mr.. Fer
rara and of President Machado in
Cuba, however, now offer in many
cases to travel to Washington to MAIN

propositions:
/. That they are physically prevented
by President Machado from holding
political meetings and from forming .
political party to vote him out of office;
q. That they are physically prevented
bv our State Department from forming
an army to fight President Machado

CUGGENHEIM CONFIRMATION
MAY FACE DELAY IN SENATE
Proposed Senatorial Inquiry
Into Cuban Affairs May Re-
suit in Prolonged Debate.
Machado Is Accused of Ex-
tinguishing Political ard Eco
nomic Liberty on Island.
BY WILLIAM HARD.


The appointment of Harry F. Gug-
genheim to be Ambassador to Cuba Is
likely to be held up In the Senate until
the proposed senatorial inquiry into
Cuban constitutional and political af-
fairs has been either pushed through
to an end or else definitely put aside
as unnecessary and undesirable.
When Mr.. Guggenheim's nomination
came up before the foreign relations
committee of the Senate the other day
objections to the immediate considera-
ton of it were raised by several COM
mittee members who took the view that
before confirming a new ambassador to
Cuba the Senate should inform itself
as to the existing policy of the United
States Government toward the Cuban
situation.
The prospect is that our relations
with Cuba will now for a time be the
biggest cloud on our whole foreign
horizon.
Investigation Is Demanded

forces are vigorously demanding that

forces with investments in Cuba are
earnestly resisting this demand.
The liberal and labor forces declare
that President Machado of Cuba has
eXtinguished political and economic
liberty in Cuba and is nevertheless re-
ceiving the moral support and the pO-
tential military support of the United
States Government, in violation of arti-
Gle of the treaty of 1908 between the
United States and Cuba, whereby the
United States is morally obligated to
preserve in Cuba "a government ade-
quate for the protection of life, prop
erty and individual liberty"

the. other hand, maintain that Presi-
dent Machado has given to Cuba an
administration which has promoted
tranquility and security, and therefore
an Investigation Is not needed.
The clash between these two sets OF
forces leads directly into the most con-
troyersial item in the new current tariff
bill namely, the duty on sugar.
Sugar Interests Favor Machado.
American business investors in Cuba
aIe >.ominantly interested in sugar pro-
duction there; and the Cuban embassy
in Washington has been extremely ac-
tive In trying to keep the United States
import duty on Cuban sugar down to
can sugar plantation interests in Cuba
regard President Machado as q faithful
friend.
American labor representatives, on
the contrary, denounce the conditions
on Cuban sugar plantations as render
ing their owners-and the Cuban gov
ernment-wh0lly unworthy of any
sympathy by the American people.
They contend, for instance, that the
Haitian "savages" imported into Cuba
to tend the Cuban sugar fields are q
much greater evil than the Mexican
poems" imported to tend the beet
sugar fields of our West.
They also contend that with the as
sistance of the Machado government
The business interests of Cuba, which are
largely owned in the United States, have
suppressed the Cuban labor movement
through policy Of exile and assassi-
nation.
On that latter point the Senate for
eign relations committee, If an investi-
cation Is ordered, expects to listen to
testimony from Chester Wright, a
Washingtonian who Is editor of the

LAWYERS ATTACK
GRAND Jury Of z
Validity Questioned in Plea of
Abatement in District
Supreme Court.

The question of the validity of a
grand jury composed of only % persons
has been called to the attention of the
District Supreme Court in plea in
abatement filed by Attorneys William
r. Ives and r. E. Lambert on behalf
of Joseph Hardy, James E. Crawford,
Carl E. Terry and Benjamin Branson,
colored defendants to an indictment
charging murder in the first degree in
connection with the death of Philbert
j. Bittner, an attendant at filling
station at Sixth street and Rhode Is
land avenue, last Thanksgiving night
The lawyers point out that the law
requires % persons to fill grand jury.
This practice has been followed in this
jurisdiction for more than SO years.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
and Assistant United States Attorney
William H. Collins will oppose the
granting of the plea and will contend
that at common law a grand jury was
composed of not less than 16 nor more
than % persons, and that in the absence
of any statute in this jurisdiction a
grand jury of less than % may properly
function; provided there are more than
16 members present.
The four colored men were arraigned
last Saturday and entered pleas of not
guilty. The lawyers today withdrew
those pleas and substituted the plea IN
abatement.

SEEK AGREEMENT
ON TRAFFIC RULES
Street Car Company Officials
Cite Conflict OF Regu-
Iations at Farley.

The old problem of the conflict OF
regulations of the Public Utilities Com
mission and the police regulations ap-
proved by the District Commissioners
was discussed at a conference today be-
tween Col Harrison Brand, jr., vice
president of the Public Utilities Com
mission, and representatives of the
street car companies and officials of the
commission.
The conference was called at the re-
quest of S. r. Bowen, vice president OF
the Washington Railway g. Electric Co.,
to discuss several recent arrests of
street car motormen for violating traffic
regulations. The car companies claimed
statutory preference giving street cars
right of way at intersections which
sometimes conflicts with the traffic reg
ulation on the question. Some of the
arrests discussed were for speed, in
which the motormen claimed that they
were endeavoring to maintain Sched-
ules set up by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Although no solution of the problem
was reached, it was decided that when
motormen are arrested in future for al
legged traffic law violations, the COM
plants be referred to the Public Utili-
ties Commission. subject to the approval
of the corporation counsel, instead of
directly to court as now.
Among those who attended the con-
ference were j. H. Hanna, president of
the Capital Traction Co.; r. G. Klotz,
engineer, and E. v. Fisher, executive
secretary of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
