TRIANGLE LOVE TRAGEDY BEING
 TOLD IN COURT
Aviatrix Jessie M. Keith- Miller Reveals Details of Home in Florida, Where Haden Clarke Died

Miami, Fla, Aug 4--(UP)--Tiny, alluring Jessie M. Keith-Miller re- turned to court to-day to bare more intimate details of her life with two men, Haden Clarke who she said could not find complete happiness in her love because of an illness, and' Captain w. N. Lancaster. chrged with murdering Clarke.
 She elaborated on her strange love affair with the man who had managed her flying career in this country, and her later love for the young writer Lancaster left in their bungalow here so complete a life history of the woman that might bring them full financial relief.
 Her story went forward with this confession spread on the rec ord:
 ''I would sign a statement that I killed Haden Clarke myself if thought it would help Bill (Lan- cester) out of this trouble" Her statement was made in an effort to save Lancaster. There re- mained g. possibility that the prose- cution might use it to fit it's own needs.
 Clarke, she said, was often de- spondent and talked of suicide: drank heavily and became espe- cially Respondent when his mother, Mrs Ida Clyde Clarke, "nagged" at him for drinking.
 About two weeks before his death, Mrs Keith Miller testified, Clarke became incapable of the love he sought. This made him more Respondent, she said. That worry, the fact that he had no money, and remorse that he had replaced Lancaster in her affec- tions, drove him to suicide, Mrs Keith-Miller said.
 Pale, nervous, she unfolded her story in a calm, low voice. When asked by States Attorney N. flaw thorne if she knew who killed Clarke, she replied:
 1T know and feel that Haden killed himself"
 Until she met Haden Clarke, she thought herself in love with Lan- caster. As soon as the British fiy- CT could divorce his wife in Eng land they were to marry.
 Then Lancaster went away to SCC 6OOuI IAO ACW cAA AihO Ihd might mean job and money. He left Mrs Keith Miller in Clarke's care. The two were to work on a book that could be sold to help re- plenish scanty finances.
 The two of them, said Mrs Keith Miller, made homebrew and drank it together. They soon found they were wildly in love. They be- gan sleeping in the same room. Lancaster told them one time at dinner he would give them $1,000 for a wedding present, this to be gained, said Mrs Keith Miller, by crashing plane insured for that amount. This was prevented by failure of the company that had insured the ship.
 When the two men went to bed the night of the tragedy, they were friendly said Mrs Keith Miller. Then at three o'clock the next morning she was awakened by Lancaster, who told her lCarke had shot himself. A gun Lancaster allegedly brought from St Louis was under him.

WAR THREATS OF PARAGUAY AND
 BOLIVIA FADES
United States Joined IS Other Nations in Pro- test = Bolivia Accepts
 League of Nations to Settle Dispute
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Stan Correspondcnt)

(United Press Stan COrrespOndcnt)
 Washington. Aug 4-The United States has joined with IS sister countries in outlawing the con- quest of land in the western hem isphere by force or arms.
 This new and important doc- Urine was laid down in a strenuous effort to quench war flames in Bolivia and Paraguay.
 Assembled at the state depart ment, the envoys of the IS na- tiOns late yesterday signed notes they would not recognize the le- gaiity of any gains made by force in the disputed Chaco territory.
 The proposed arbitration of the fundamental Chaco dispute and in- vestigation of charges by each of the disputing parties that the other has been guilty of aggression.
 By their action the 19 countries struck a blow at territorial im- perialism in the new world. If their precedent is followed, no American nation may take terri tory of another and have it's title recognized by neighboring coun- tries. The doctrine appears to give aid and comfort to any, Latin American country fearing aggres- sion from the United States. The movemet in behalf of this new doctrine was understood to have originated in Mexico The policy was patterned, however, on Secretary Stimson's note of Janu- ary to Japan and China. He then warned that the United States wound not admit the legality of any situation resulting from force in violation of the Kellogg pact. The ontes to Bolivia and Para guay did not mention the Kellogg pact, for Bolivia is not sigma tory.
 La Paz, Bolivia, Aug 4-UP)- Bolivia agreed today to accept the good offices of the league of na- tions in settling the Gran Chaco dispute with Paraguay, thus reliev- ing the threat of war in the vast Chaco region. A truce was con- sidered likely.
 The foreign minister said in a note to the encouragement of the league of nations:
 Before the appeal of the league, my government declares that lt does not refuse pacific measures designed for solution of tn con- flict within the express limitation of the neutral conference at Wash ington."
 Asuncion, Paraguay, Aug A. (UP)-Decision of the United States and Latin-American nations not to recognize acquisition of ter- ritory by force was believed to have ended the threat of war between Paraguay and Bolivia.
 While the cabinet met to study the latest communication from Washington, however, the war spirit continued to run high. First troops were sent to the Gran Chaco after a farewell by President Jose Guggiwri and a blessing by the archbishop.
