TROOPS IN NICARAGUA
AROUSE NO PROTEST
President Declares His Forces Have
Responsibility of Fighting
Bandits, However.

BY the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, January IA
President Moncada does not object TO
continued presence of United States
Marines in Nicaragua, but believes that
the Nicaraguan National Guard should
direct its efforts toward determination
of insurgent groups, which he charac-
terizes as bandits"
In a statement to the local news
papers today the President said:
II do not object to continued pres
ence of United States Marines in Mica
ragua, for they have aided the cause of
liberty and order in my country. We
Nicaraguans appreciate this, but be-
lieve that we are the ones responsible
for carrying on the fight against the
bandits.
IT do not want to see the bodies of
any more slain Marines leave our coun-
try. We NicaraguanS are responsible
for re-establishment of peace. The
Marines could guard the cities OF the
northern sector and some OF the In
terror while the Nicaraguan National
Guard comes to grips with banditry.
"I have been profoundly saddened by
the deaths of Marines killed in the last
SANDING ambush. They fell in coun-
try unfamiliar to them. They were as
sassinated and were not permitted to
die in true, open combat. Let US pledge
ourselves to avoid these misfortunes by
changing our tactics. Let us tight the
bandits with their own weapons. In the
same jungle warfare they use"

CENTER MARKET

Origin of Blaze in Upper Sec

Disputed.

Fire Of disputed origin this afternoon
swept through the upper section of the
main wing in the old Center Market
Building, which was being RACED by
workman The flames destroyed that
section of the building, but firemen were
unable to make any estimate of dam
age because that section of the struc-
ture was unoccupied and had been
partly torn down.
Fire Chief George S. Watson said the
blaze started from an exposed live wire.
He said his men were told that a col
ored workman saw the wire suffering
and that as he tried to pick it up with
a stick it slipped into pile of trash.

This was denied, however, by repre-
sentatives of the H. Herfurth Jr., Co,

They said the electric current had been
cut of and that there were no live wires
In the building.
Four Alarms Turned In.
One oficial said he had been in
formed workmen had started a small
fire to keep warm and that Goals from
this caused the main blaze. Another
report, he said, was that the fire start
ed from a cigarette.
The first Of the four alarms was
turned in by AL Fields, foreman in
charge of the work Fields said a
workman on the roof saw the flames
and called down to him that the build
ing was on fire.
Despite the confusion attending eff
forts of firemen to combat the flames,
workmen on adjoining wings continued
their task of tearing down the structure.
The fire was confined to the garnet of
the main structure, which was empty

the rear, was damaged by water, but
escaped the fire.
More Than 1000 Gather.
Firemen had the blaze under control
within an hour after the first alarm
was turned in.
Attracted by the dense smoke and
sheets of fame which broke through
the roof. more than a thousand per-
sons gathered at the scene and were
frequently endangered by falling pieces
of timber. Police reserves were called
out, however, and threw a Gordon
around the market building to keep
civilians out of the danger zone.

$500 TRAFFIC DEATHS
ARE ESTIMATE FOR 1890
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, January 14.-There were
$4,000 motor vehicle deaths in the
United States in 1880, the National
Safety Council estimated today. This
figure represented an increase of per
cent, or approximately 1900 deaths,
ever the 1929 period of 31.215. Reports
from 80 States formed the basis of the
estimate.
THE new figure" the council said,
sis the highest in history, but there
may be grain of consolation in the
fact that the increase Is really the
lowest annual percentage increase since
motoring became safety problem. In
1929 there was an increase of IL per
cent and in 1928 an increase of 8
per cent"
States with the largest rural popula-
tons showed the greatest increase and
those with strong drivers license laws"
had the best records, the council said,
adding that there were fewer highway
grade crossing deaths than in the
previous year.

SENATE CONTINUES
PAY RAISE FIGHT
Inserts $223,82O in AgricuI-
ture Bill to Aid Employees
Under Average Grade.

Standing by its position in favor of
making a start this year on promotions
for Government employees in under
average grades, the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee today added $223 800
to the agricultural appropriation bin for
salary increases.
This amount is in accordance with
the general recommendation of the
Budget Bureau that the appropriation
bills for the coming year should con-
tain 80 per cent Of the total amount
required to increase all of the under
average positions.
This is the third of the annual sup
ply bills to which the Senate has added
the salary increases after the House
Appropriations Committee in each case
had decided not to do SO this year.
Showdown Due Soon.
The same issue regarding salary in
creaseS is involved in all of the ap-
preparation bills, and whatever Is finally
done in one case is expected to be fol-
lowed generally.
The showdown between the two
branches of Congress viii come on the
Treasury-Post ONCE supply bill, which
is in conference. Before Christmas the
confereeS on this bill knocked out the
Senate salary increases, but the Senate
rejected the conference report.
The confereeS have not had a meet
ing since their previous report was re-
jected, but they probably will get to-
gether within a few days.
The TreaSury-PoSt Office bill also
contained the Wood amendment, which
would have prevented the use of any
funds next year for increasing salaries
within grades of the classification law.
The confereeS knocked out this restric-
ton, but at the same time, struck out
the additional money for which the
Senate had voted to carry out the bud
get recommendation.
Interior Bill Unfinished.
The elimination of the Wood amend
ment would have permitted some in
crease by using unexpended balances
OF appropriations, but would not have
complied with the budget program to
grant 80 per cent of the under average
promotions this year.
The interior appropriation bill is still
unfinished in the Senate, but the Sen
ate already has added the 80 per cent
for salary increases.
In reporting the agricultural supply
bill the Senate Committee also allowed
the Weather Bureau an increase of
$40, 160 for airway work between Boston
and the District of Columbia. Approx
mately $4,000 also was added to the
Weather Bureau fund for other activi-
ties.
Aside from the salary increases of
$223,820, the Senate Committee added
$680,148 for other purposes, or a total
This made the total for all activities of
the Department of Agriculture for next
year $213,959,670. This bill will be in
charge of Senator McNary, Republican,
of Oregon.

SAN ANTONIO DE LOS COBRES,
Argentina, January 14.-Volcanic erup-
tons and earthquakes shook Western
Argentina in the La Poma region today.
Two persons were reported killed at
Cobres and it was feared many more
may have persisted in the series of erup-
lions which began last Thursday.
Difficulty of crossing the rough ter
rain in the vicinity of the eruptions was
increased by heavy rains which have
swollen small streams to the propor-
tions of rivers. Fragmentary reports
received here indicated Si1aC three VOL
canoes were in eruptlop two of them
in the vicinity of Cobres and FL Po-
trerillo and the third near Abra de
Chorrilo.
Reports from Cobres and Ell Po-
trerillo said the inhabitants were shaken
from their beds on Thursday night by a
violent earthquake and that immedi-
ately thereafter there came another
shock and a deafening explosion as one
of the mountain peaks shot forth a tor
rent of water, rock and mud upon the
little villages.
It was in this same region that earth
quakes and landslides struck on Chris
mas eve, destroying one of the little
villages in the Andes foothills.

utilized.
Contracts Expire in 1881.
Contracts for most of these billboardS
expire December 81, 1881. In the cases
of the few billboards whose contracts
run into 1892, the corporation said 1t
would assume whatever loss is involved
in having them removed at the end of
