GOV. KING PUTS
Def On CYR

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan q
G.N.SO. - LouiSiana's guberna-
torial merry-go-round continued
to whirl giddily today.
DR.. Paul N. Cyr prepared to
enter the courts and strive to
oust Gov. Alvin o. King from the
Executive Mansion on the grounds
that the governor is a "usurper."
For a second time, the protest
ing dentist took the oath of office
as governor. But wi1en he tried
to file the oath with the secre-
tary of State, he was told there
was no room for more than one
oath and that has already been
filed by King, who was Huey p.
Longs choice for a successor
when Long went to Washington
to enter the United States Sen
ate.
Governor King, meanwhile,
continued to "sit tight" in the
Executive Mansion. In the face
of Cyr's threats the governor had
all the State highway guards
doubled around the mansion and
all other government buildings.

GOERCED,
SAYS MASS|E
ATTORNEY
Move to Have Second Degree
Murder indictments
QuaShed Looms

HONOLULU, T. H. Jan. 81
(I.N.S.). - Alone, Mrs. Grace
Fortescue, Washington society
leader, wife of Major Granville
Fortescue, must face murder
charges in a civil court of
Hc1olulu.
The grand jury, after three
days hectic deliberations, re-
turned second degree murder in
dictments against Mrs. Fortescue,
her son-in-law, Lieut.. Thomas H.
Massie, and two naval enlisted
men, E. J. Lord and Albert Jones,
charged with killing Joseph Ka-
hahawai.
Kahahawai was one of five
natives accused of criminally at
tacking Mrs. Thalia Massie, pretty
20-year-old bride of Lieutenant
Massie and daughter Of Mrs.
Fortescue. A civil case against
the five natives resulted in a
mistrial, after which Mrs. Fortes-
cue and the three naval men
were charged with taking justice
into their own hands.
Stands Trial Alone
Return of the indictments
paved the way for transfer of
the case against Lieutenant Mas
sic, Jones and Lord from civil
authorities to United States naval
authorities at Pearl Harbor, leav-
ing Mrs. Fortescue to stand trial
alone.
All question of the death
penalty was removed by the Sec
ond degree indictment verdict.
Gov. Lawrence Judd, special
Prosecutor Barry Ulrich and
Navy Department legal officials
were to confer today on transfer
to the Navy of the case against
the three male defendants.
The grand jury returned its
verdict after Territorial Circuit
Judge Albert Cristy had in,
structed it to return a verdict in
accordance with testimony OF
witnesses.
Move to Quash Cases
Defense Counsel Montgomery
Winn said he would move at
once to have the indictments
Quashed on the ground of jury
coercion. Reports in the building
in which the jury had deliber'
ated indicated the jury had
favored returning no true bills"
Confidence that they would be
acquitted was expressed in mes
sages two of the defendants sent
to relatives on the mainland.
To her husband, i'll in New
York, Mrs. Fortesque sent the
following cablegram:
1--WE were indicted today,
dearest, and I'm glad, only
don't want you to worry.
Tha1ia'S trial was a mOckery
on justice. Now the American
people here and in the States
will see that we get fair play.
All my love is with you.
GRACE"
To his mother in Winchester,
KY, Lieutenant Massie cabled:
Mother, darling, the Hawaii
grand jury indicted us, which
will make the final result a
better vindicatiOn. Don't worry.
Love. TOMMIE,"

MOVING HELD UP
BY WAR OFFICE

Because of the strong influence
the House has on Government ap-
preparations, it is regarded as un-
likely that the Senate will take
any action contrary to that of
the House which deducted from
it's general appropriation $3,00O,-
900 for remodeling the front of
the State, War and Navy Build
ing.
The War Department offices in
the building were to be removed
to the old Commerce Building,
Nineteenth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, Northwest, but no
move is expected now.
No other Government branch
is expected to move into the
Commerce Building, and the $75,-
900 rental the Government must
pay until the lease expires July /
may be wasted on an empty
building.

TALKS
ON BOYCOTT

BOSTON, Feb. 18 GNS).
President A. Lawrence Lowell, of
Harvard University, today urged
the Importance of deciding
whether this country shall join
with the League of Nations in any
plan for an economic boycott of
Japan. declaring that the future
attitude of the world about war
may well depend upon the de-
cision.
Although declaring in his first
radio address last night that the
United States is not a member Of
) the League, President Lowell re-
minded that:
''She is a party-as is also
Japan-tO the KellOgg-Briand
pact of Paris, and there can be
no doubt that Japan, contrary
to that pact, has sought to
settle a dispute by other than
pacific means"
The famous educator also
pointed out that Japan violated
the nine-power peace pact, and
that the United States therefore is
entitled to take steps necessary
to cause the observance of the
treaty, Japan having practically
refused to arbitrate the matter.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. A vote on repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment may be taken in the House on De- cember 5, the opening day of the short session of Con- gress.

A two-thirds majority is required to sus- pend the rules and like majority to pass on the con- stitutional resolution.
 Democratic Whip McDuffie has written to all members of his party to be present on December 5 although ordi- narily the opening day is given over to routine busi- ness only.

France, Great Britain, BeF- giium, Receive Notes
 from U. s.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Pay up on December Is, America has advised foreign debtor nations and this creates a more favorable at mosphere for reconsideration of the whole war debt problem by a com mission which President Hoover will ask Congress to authorize.
 This is the gist of notes for warded by Secretary of State Stimson in response to requests from France, Great Britain and Belgium for extension of the pres- ent moratorium and re-examina- ton of the debt situation.
 The notes were made public late yesterday. They informed the for eign governments that no author ity lies within the power of the Executive to suspend the Decem- Der installments and no facts are in possession of the President which could be presented to Con- gress for favorable consideration.
 For Original Agreements
 The Secretary of State said this Government and the people be- lieve in maintenance of the original agreement for payment on De- cember 15 and by such payments prospects would be increased great ly for reconsideration of the debt question.
 Secretary Stimson wrote to Sen ator William E. Borah. of Idaha. Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, including the text of the notes.
 Diluted Moratorium
 Senator Borah said he opposed payment of installments due next month to be paid in currencies of the nations making them, as sug- gested last week by President Hoo- yer. Senator Borah termed such procedure as a diluted form of moratorium and can see nothing tc be gained in dealing of this matter in that way or dealing with 1t partially or incompletely.'
 Tn all three notes Secretary of State Stimson emphasized the fact that Congress alone has the power to modify the debt arrangements
 The note to Trance contained a reminder of the Presidents prev iously expressed idea that world business conditions could be im- proved by exchanging debt conces- sions for tariff favors and disarm- ament.
