SANDING WATCHED
ASPO[L|NG NEARS
Approaching Nicaraguan
Elections May Give Opening
to Bandit Chief.

Official Washington viewed with con-
siderable concern last night the ap-
preaching elections in Nicaragua as
a result Of disquieting reports from the
little Latin American republic Of the
war-like preparations of the trouble
some bandit leader SANDING.
Information received in official quar-
tiers indicated that the SANDING forces
are stronger than ever before. The
bandit chiieftain, it was said, has built
up his bands in recent months and
equipped them with adequate supplies
OF arms and ammunition, purchased in
the United States and Great Britain.
AS a nucleus for the augmented
forces, SANDING used his veteran faith
ful followers and added to them the
dissatisfied peasants of Nicaragua who
found 1t more profitable in these de-
pressing days to live out Of loot than
out OF the products Of the soil. Other
recruits are principally Guatemalans
ana Hondursns who had been out of
work since the last revolutions in their
own countries.
+ SANDING Ready.
From the standpoint Of preparedness
SANDING is ready for any eventual;tv
ind there is fear in Washing that
he will likely take advantage of the re-
duced American forces in Nicaragua
and attack various posts during the
elections.
From the political standpoint, the
view Of the situation is no better. Al
though 600 United States Marines are
going to Nicaragua to act as armed
clerks at the elections. the State De-
partment declares that this country will
keep away from Intervention in favor
OF any OF the presidential candidates.
The presence OF American Marines
at the polling booths. according to Sec
rotary Stlmson. will be only for the
purpose OF supervision and fair play.
U. S. Support Sought.
Aside from the SANDING bugaboo. the
Nicaraguans themselves do not seem to
be able to agree upon any one or two
men to run for the presidential office.
Ihere are some six or seven candidates,
and each is endeavoring to enlist the
support Of the United States.
DlaZ, who was President in 1927 is
running fer office again. He is re-
ported TO be en- route to the United
States in an effort to induce the State
Department to indorse his candidacy.
A Liberal. DiaZ is well liked and is
believed to have many supporters. But
before he served his first term as Pres
ident he worked for an American lum-
Der firm and that is being held against
him by the many political factions who
have their own candidates.
Diaz. however, will get no encourage
ment from the State Department when
he reaches Washington. AS Secretary
Stlmson pointed out, the United States
will not support any specific candidate,
nor does it intend to advise Nicaraguan
politicians the course to take to avoid
a difficult and confusing situation.

SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM
INSTALLED IN MILFORD
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

1t was recently announced by City
Manager Charles Banning that sys-
TEN had been installed at the cleo
trio light plant that synchronizes
the electric current so that electric
clocks can now be used in Milford
without gaining or loosing any ap-
preciable time.
A master clock at the plant COM
bined with the synchronizatiOn sys-
TEN will keep all electric clocks i'll
the community set in accordance
with radio time received from the
Naval Observatory at Arlington, Va.
The time will be checked every fif-
teen minutes, twenty-four hours of
the day and any variation i'll time
will be corrected on the master
clock which will in turn correct
every electric clock in Milford.
The system has been worked out
and the system installed by City
Manager Banning and E. c. Evans.
A standard system costs approXi-
mately $500, but Mr.. Banning and
Mr.. Evans worked out their own sys-
tenn at a cost of fifty dollars. They
have been working on the system for
more than six months and have now
perfected it so that the use of cleo
trio clocks in Milford is now prac-
tical After being plugged in the
clocks never have to be wound or
set again.
