BONDS SET in
HOLDUP CASE
Preliminary Hearing Held
For Two In Robbery
Of Negro

Eugenio Rodriguez and Manuel
Garcia were bound over to the
grand jury in bonds of $4,000 each
Wednesday morning at a prelim-
mary hearing on charges OF rob-
berry with deadly weapons. The
hearing. held before Justice Of the
Peace b. l.. Cain. grew out Of the
hold-up early Sunday morning of
Tom Cobb. negro empioye of the
Missouri Pacific lines. If convict
ed. the men face a maximum pen
atty Of death and a minimum Of
five years Imprisonment.
Garcia. represented by z. T.
Yates, waived preliminary hearing,
while Rodriguez, not represented,
made a voluntary statement.
Complainant Testifies
Cobb told of visiting a house on
18th street early Sunday morning.
There. he said. three men stepped
from behind the house and order
ed him to their car at the point Of
a razor. After driving down the
street for a short distance, the car
stopped and he was relieved Of
about S14 in cash, Cobb testified.
Rodriguez in his statement, ad-
mitted meeting the negro at the
house. He said that Cobb was or
dered to the car but that no force
was used and that no razor was
drawn. When the car stopped, the
negro dismounted and made a
move for his hip" according to
Rodriguez. A knife was then drawn
on Cobb, the witness asserted.
Search Ordered
Rodriguez ordered Garcia to
search the hip pocket, his statement
ran. Garcia also searched the side
pockets and found some money
which he handed to Rodriguez, it
was alleged. Cobb then broke and
ran, the witness testified, and the
two men took in after him for the
purpose Of returning the money.
They could not catch him, Rod
riguez stated, so he CRodriguez) re-
turned to the house first mentioned
for he believed that Cobb would re-
turn and he could give him back
his money there.
Rodriguez was arrested at the
house later by city police and the
Sheriff's department.
Women Also Jailed
The women at the house were
taken TO jail also on charges of
conducting a dSreputable establish
ment.
Cobb denied making the "hip
pocket move, saying that he had
no weapon and he would make no
bluff which might result in his be-
ing slashed. After taking his mon
ey. the men gave him shove down
the street, the negro asserted. Cobb
stopped and the men dashed to-
ward him, he said. This occurred
twice, according TO Cobb.
Third Man Released
On cross-examination Rodriguez
attempted TO show that these
dashes were efforts to return the
money.
A third man in the case was re-
leased as testimony showed that he
was only a bystander near the
house.

LEAGUE REJECTION
OF DRUG PLAN IS HIT
Pennsylvania Representative
AssaiIs Committees Act
in Defeating Proposal.

BY the Associated Press.
The action of the opium committee
of the League of Nations at Geneva in
rejecting the so-called American plan
for control of the drug evil has been
sharply criticized by Representative
Porter OF Pennsylvania.
Mr. Porter who headed the Ameri-
can delegation TO the Geneva Opium
Conference in 1924, said he was max
ing an investigation of opium manu-
featuring by certain foreign countries
and added lone or more of these gov
ernments will hear from Congress in no
uncertain terms when the inquiry is
finished"
Attacked by Scotchman for India.
The plan rejected by the committee
was attacked by Sir John Campbell,
a Scotchman who represents India.
Sir John declares that the plan really
was composed by former Spanish
member of the secretariat of the
League, and that it was piece of
skillfully organized propaganda. Under
its provisions, each country would state
its narcotic needs in advance and an
nounce publicly where the drugs were
to be manufactured and purchased.
Mr. Porter declared the plan defeat
co was an elaboration of that proposed
by the United States delegation four
years ago.
He charged Sir John "has devoted
his life to the opium eating traffic in
India, from which large revenues are
derived" He said that the Scotchman
was repudiated by the people of India
"a year ago and was knighted four
years ago by the British government
for defeating the original American
plan"
Italian Backs U. S. Proposal.
The plan defeated yesterday was de-
Tended by Stefano Cavazzoni of Italy,
who characterized the project as an i'm
portant step in arreSting the narcotic
traffic
"Stefano Cavazzoni, the italian dele
gate on the committee, has been Amer
ica's friend throughout the contro-
versy," Mr. Porter said, land is backed
up by Premier Mussolini"
Porter charged it had been shown
that one or more countries are violat-
ing the opium manufacturing regula-
tons laid down by the 1912 Hague
Convention, and said that the United
States has protested against this with
out result.
The opium committee at Geneva de-
cided by a vote of to that the
American plan" was impossible of ap-
plication. China. italy, France and
Germany made UP the minority.
