V1llanueva, former commercial attachc
OF the Venezuelan legation at Paris and
son Of former charge d'affaires con-
sented. He agreed that If the Spanish
government would cancel the hasty
enlistment he would go back to Paris.
The friends. returning to France, today
set In motion the machinery which
would be needed to bring that about.
The French minister of war was asked
to intervene with the Spanish govern
ment in Villanueya's behalf The
brother-in-law, accompanied by attor-
neys. appealed to the examining magis-
trate and informed him their friend was
ready to stand trial.
Madame Gomez, wealthy Venezuela
ian, preferred the particular charge
upon which the Department of Justice
had been hunting the vanished banker.
Mrs. Gomez alleged that Villanueva
had Illegally taken funds which she
Entrusted to him for investment. Others
had stated the view that the French
government should bring back the miss
ing man wherever found, prosecuting
criminally and, II conviction was un-
obtainable, thus give them opportunity
to proceed against him in the civil
courts for recovery of their money.
The National City Bank officials made
the statement that there was no short
age in the banks funds, that money
had been drawn regularly on checks
and that If it had been Incorporated
the transaction was personal between
Villanueva and his acquaintance.
The losers declared the bank liable
because they believed themselves deal
ing with an authorized representative
of the institution. Villanueva was one
of the few executives invested with
power of attorney to sign documents

THORNS Quart"
CAPITAL SITTER
Florida Publishers Agree to
Refuse to Print Stories
of Endurers.

The Florida newspaper publishers who
simply castigated all tree. sitters, and
promised to neglect to mention them
further, neglected at the same time to
point their remarks at the kind of tree
sitters who sit in honey locust trees,
which are as thorny as they are incon-
venient to interviewers.
Take the honey locust in which Frank
Kilmartin has been sitting at Four
teenth and Chaplin streets for three
days now: take 1t as far as you like
splinter 1t up; make honey out of it.
Nobody cares.
That tree may be fine for sitting but
nature never intended it for the COM
fort Of newspaper reporters who are
trying to keep tree sitters out of the
papers, as the Florida publishers sug-
gested when they resolved that:

Unfortunately, 17-year-old Frank re-
tanned his perch in the face of this

tree, despite the thorns.
Frank said, among other things, he
expected to come down by August Is,

High School are going on a house party.
Frank, apparently, feels it will be a
novel experience to live in a house.
He said. further, he couldn't imagine
why he chose tree with thorns, unless
1t was to discourage his descent. He
ventured the opinion that one feels the
thorns more on the way down.

Lackey obtained control of the two.

know until recently that Miss Lackey
obtained letters of guardianship two
years ago in Alameda County. They
said the woman had no legal right to
take the boys out of the State and
added the Alameda court had no right
to issue such an order. because they

HOOVER MAY MAKE
MEXICO CITY VISIT
Morrow Declared Promised
Official Trip Before Re-
turn to U. S.

President Hoover was reported in un.
official but usually we'll informed quar-.
tiers here yesterday to be planning q
visit to Mexico City in September Oh
october, returning the visit President
Ortiz Rubio made to Washington last
Winter.
The President, it was stated, promised
Dwight w. Morrow, American Ambassa-
dor to Mexico, he would come to the
Mexican capital for an official visit
before Mr.. Morrow quits his post to
take personal charge of his senatorial
campaign in New Jersey.
AS Mr.. Morrow is expected to leave
Mexico City for good about october /
1t was understood Mr.. Hoover expected
to arrange his visit for some time in
September. Everything will depend,
however, upon the situation in wash
ngtcn in August.
May Leave August !.
It now seems probable that Mr.. Hoo
yer will start his long-delayed vacation
trip through the Western national
parks shortly after the meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Repub-
lican National Committee in Washing
ton on August z.
Unless unexpected complications arise
the President could leave the following
Sunday or Monday. BY completing his
vacation trip by the end of August, he
could drop down to Mexico City for a
few days on his way back to Washing
ton. This would get him to Mexico
City early in September.
If conditions interfere with such a
program, it was said, the President
hopes to find time to return President
Ortiz Rubio'S visit later in the month
or early in October, fulfilling at the
same time his promise to his close
personal friend, Ambassador Morrow.
At the Mexican embassy 1t was said
the Mexican government had received
no official word from Mr.. Hoover about
an impending visit. 1t would not be
necessary, however, for the President to
send notice of his visit SO far in adj
vance, particularly in view of conditions
In washington.
Teller Presses Invitation.
When President Ortiz Rubio was in
Washington he urged Mr.. Hoover to
visit him in Mexico City. Manuel c.
Teller, Mexican Ambassador to the
United States, pressed another invita-
ton upon the President more recently.
He was told, it was said, that Mr.. Hoo
yer could not give definite answer at
the time, but he would give it earnest
consideration.
A possible interruption to fulfillment
of any plans the President may have
was seen in discussions which have
been renewed recently over the United
States acquiring Lower California.
Newspaper articles declared the Ameri-
can section of the United States-Mex-
leo boundary commission had recon-
mended acquisition of that strategic
strip of coastline.
Stories FiatIy Denied.
While these stories were fatty and
officially denied by the State Depart
ment, they have stirred up considerable
press discussion in Mexico City. Lower
California has been a sore spot in
American Mexican relations for some
time and a lengthy discussion by the
Mexican press might make a visit by
the President at this time undesirable.
