DOMINICAN HEADS
SEEK AGREEMENT
Insurgent and Government
Leaders Confer-Vasquez
Calls Assembly.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Re-
public, February 27-With the City Of
Santo Domingo and most of the coun-
try in the hands of insurgent forces,
leading figures, both in the insurgent
movement and in the government. were
gathered here today to reach some kind
of an agreement.
President Horacio VasqueZ, whose
resignation has been demanded by the
insurgents, summoned a national as
sembly at which he planned to present
a presidential message. He invited the
diplomats and consuls in Santo Domingo
to be present at the assembly.
During the night Gen. Rafael Es-
trella Urena and Desiderio 4rias, chiefs
Of the movement against the govern
ment. arrived in the capital, which is
being held by force of 1000 of their
followers.
Lone Fort Holds Out.
A lone fort held out against the VIC
torious ragged army. Gen. Trujillo,
chief of the government army, with a
small garrison. withstood lombard
ment in Fort Aleza Ozama, and re-
fused to surrender, pending negotiations
between the administration and the In
surgents.
Charles 3. Curtis, American Minister,
acted as intermediary between the gov
eminent and the rebels, attempting to
obtain their agreement to a pact which
would insure solution of the situation
without bloodshed and without damage
to property.
Predictions were made that some time
today a provisional president would
be selected and non-partisan govern
ment set up to insure free voting at the
presidential election May is. Resigna-
ton of President Vasquez, when it is
rendered, 1t was said probably would
effect his complete removal from the
political arena.
Establish New Police Force.
The insurgents established a new
police force. All other public employees
were told not to worry about losing
their jobs. The insurgent leaders prom
ised to respect all lives and property.
1t Is doubted If a single life has been
lost IN the movement, although reports
early In the week, never confirmed, and
later denied, said three men had been
killed in the north of the republic. The
insurgents entered the city yesterday
to the cheers of the populace, and al
though several hundred shots were fred
all were into the air.

MIGHT SESSIONS
TO BEGIN ON TARIFF
Jones to Call Up Amendment
to Place Duty on All I'm
ported Lumber.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate leaders today undertook to IN
sure speedy conclusion Of the tariff
debate by forcing series of night ses-
sions, to continue until the final vote
is reached.
The chieftains of all factions were in
agreement that enough votes could be
obtained to bring about the overtime
work, although efforts to limit debate
by unanimous consent failed. The plan
is that the Senate be in continuous
session from IL am. until 10 pm. every
day but Saturday.
A renewal of the Senate's old con-
troversy on whether lumber is to be
kept on the free list was in prospect
today. Senator Jones, Republican
Washington, served notice that he
would call up an amendment to place
duty of So a thousand feet, board
measure, on all imported lumber.
Some question arose as to whether
the shingles schedule should be consid-
cred as part of the Jones amendment
or taken up separately. The Senate
has already voted, by a comfortable
margin, to keep shingles on the free
list, as opposed to a duty of Is per
cent approved by the House. Jones
said he would not demand a separate
vote on shingles, but added he hoped
duty satisfactory to his section would
be agreed upon when the tariff bill goes
to conference.
Chairman Smoot of the finance COM
mittee, in charge of the bill, is actively
behind the move for night sessions, and
he has the support of leaders of the
Observation-Disclosures Republican CO.
alition.
Numerous efforts were. made to speed
action by unanimous consent agree
ments, but in each case some Senator
found cause for objection. Senator
Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina,
proposed that debate be limited to 10
minutes for each Senator on each
amendment. This was blocked by SEN
ator Copeland, Democrat, New York,
who argued that his State had not been
given an opportunity to present its
tariff needs and views fully.

SHARKEY WEIGHS 1877
FOR TONIGHT'S FIGHT
American, in Good Condition, Is
5-to-1 Favorite to Win
From Scott.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, February 27.-Jack
Sharkey. the first of the principals in
tcnight's heavyweight fight carnival to
weigh in, scaled exactly 1877 pounds al
the Offices of the Miami Boxing Com
mission shortly after noon.
Sharkey, ruling a strong favorite at
odds of to / to whip his British op-
ponent, Fhil Scott, in the 15-round fea-
ture bout tonight, appeared in perfect
trim as he arrived promptly for the
weighing-in ceremonies in the city hall
There was some debate between
Sharkey and the photographers, with
the fighter scoring decision as to how
he would pose for them. When the box
ers manager, Johnny Buckley, accused
one of the cameramen of being nervous
Sharkey turned quickly and said to
Buckley:
you are the only nervous one in this
party"
The official examination verified
SharkeyS remarkable condition. There
was not the least indication of stale
ness or excess weight, though at 1877
he was pound or so heavier than he
has been for any of his previous big
fights.
To avoid possible clashes, the boxers
were weighed at five and ten minute
intervals, starting at 1880 pm.
Johnny Risko of Cleveland weighed
1875 for his 10-round semi-final with
Victoria Campolo of the Argentine.
Three Washington radio stations will
broadcast a description tonight of the

MACDONALD FACES
MINES BILL CRISIS
General Opinion Is That Gov
eminent viii Win by
Small Margin.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, February 27-The Mac
donald government today was facing a
critical vote in the House of Commons
on the pending coal mines bill and
there was some perturbation in political
circles, where it was predicted defeat
might cause resignation of the govern
ment and precipitate general election
The situation was somewhat the same
as last December on the second read
ing Of this controversial measure, when
the government just slid through with
a majority Of eight. Now there is the
added complication of the question
arising in the midst of the Naval Dis
armament Conference, which already
has been crippled by the political un-
certainty in France.
Vote Expected Tonight.
SO far as could be determined, no.
body wants British political crisis at
this juncture, but 1t was recognized
that circumstances conceivably might
produce one.
A vote on the bill is expected to-
night.
The issue between the government
and its critics is the scheme contained
IN the coal mines bill for the compul-
sorry regulation and limitation of out
put, which is opposed by both the Con-
servative and Liberal parties, except
for few diSsidents in each camp. The
Laborites regard this scheme as the
heart of the measure, which is designed
to improve the condition of the coal
industry, which long has been in bad
plight.
Some See Government Victory.
There were some factors which sug-
gested that the government would be
able TO defeat whatever combined oppo-
sitton is mustered against the bill. The
Conservatives are proverbially plagued
In divisions by absences among their
members. 1t also is understood that a
number of Conservatives are known to
be sympathetic to limitation of output
and therefore likely will abstain from
voting deliberately, A few Liberals who
wish to avoid INJURY to the government,
it is reported either will vote with the
Labor party or abstain.
Certain of Success.

 But did he sit down and quit and mourn? Not by jugful, Geraldine. He in for some nails and saws and hammers and went right back, establishing himself in the old meat house, still standing and start ed another lodge building.
 May his courage never falter!
