PARLEY ARGUES
INTERVENTION

MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 18 QN.S0.
Questions of Intervention were
scheduled for discussion before
the Pan-American conference to-
day with the Cuban and Amer
lean delegations lined up at the
head of opposing camps.
The committee on international
law was to consider the report
of it's subcommittee on codifica-
ton embodying two important
declarations likely to arouse
heated discussion.
The more important is a clause
setting forth that:
mo state has the right to
intervene in the internal or ex-
ternaI affairs Of any other
state"
The second establishes the doc
trine that any states recognition
of another state must be uncondi-
tional and irrevocable, and that
it may be either expressed or
merely tacit.
While the Cubans have cham
pioned both of these points, the
American delegation, although
StaunChIy opposed, to date has
remained in the background.
Secretary of State Corden Hull
announced he would leave Monte
Video December 26.

Waltz Vogue May Come Back
With New Champagne Step

NEW YORK-After all these
syncopated years the heart Of
America is going to begin beating
again in temperate, three-quarters
time, if the 96 dancing masters
of the New YorF State Division
of the National Institute Of Social
Dancing can possibly arrange it..
And now that repeal Is here, the
So masters are a lot more san
guine than they were.
In the days Of raw, pre-repeal
whisky and gin, the dancing got
too furiously paced for the "old
folks" but something about vim
tages-and-malts-time calls for
waltz-time, in the opinion Of Ar.
thur Murray, national president
Of the institute. A canvass of
orchestra leaders, he saio, already
shows that the "old folks" are
venturing from the shadows of
the potted palms and timidly re-
questing such numbers as the
Merry Widow" Waltz.

7 W0 CAPTURED
As HOUNDS BAY

With bloodhounds baying close
to their heels, two convicts who
escaped Friday from the Lorton
Reformatory in the automobile Of
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superin-
tendent of District penal institu-
tions, were captured yesterday in
the woods 10 miles south Of Guam
tico.
Although armed with a re-
volver, rifle and ammunition, the
prisoners, Walter Broadway and
Raymond Belts, made no attempt
to battle their way to freedom.
The car in which they fled had
been found three miles from Tri-
angle, Va, near Quantico. It was
from this point the bloodhounds
took up the trail.
Contrary to published reports,
there was no disturbance at the
prison the day of the escape, Of

When Y0urCOueh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home
Saves Good Money! No CooEingl

If you want the best cough remedy
that money can buy, mix it at home.
1t costs very little, yet it's the most re-
liable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs, giving immediate relief,
is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
2h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into
pint bottle, and add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. To make
syrup, use 2 cups of sugar and one cup
of water, and stir a few moments until
dissolved. No cooking needed. It's no
trouble at all, and gives you four times
as much cough medicine for your money
"a real family supply. Keeps per-
fectly and tastes fine.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, soothes
and heals the infamed membranes,
clears the air passages, and thus ends
a severe cough in a hurry.
PineX is compound of Norway
Pine, in concentrated form, the most
reliable healing agent for severe coughs.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Of LIGHT
FOUND UNF|XED

Seasonal variation Of the speed
of light, an important new dis
covery of Carnegie Institution
scientists, may disprove Einstein'S
theory of relativity.
This disclosure came as a result
of experiments at the Mt. Wilson
Calf, observatory Of the Carne-
gle Institution Of washington, in
which a mile long pipe, evacuated
of air, was used to measure the
rapidity of light rays.
Tests showed that the speed
may vary one part in 1000, and
that the variation has a distinct
correlation with solar and lunar
forces producing the ocean tides.
Long considered as the most
fundamental constant Of physics.
speed of light is the basis Of the
Einstein theory. If light-speed
varies, the theory is shaken. II

SENATE PROBES
FRICTION IN
L|NDY CASE

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 QN.S0.
Lindbergh baby kidnapping and
murder case has received the at
tention Of the United States Sem
ate subcommittee on crime and
racketeering.
Senator Royal S. Copeland,
chairman of the committee, re-
Gently called Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf before him, requir-
ing Schwarzkopf to furnish the
committee with information con-
cerning the cooperation received
from the Lindbergh family and
from other investigative agencies.
Senator Copeland would not
discuss the conference, saying it
was an executive session. Neither
would his chief investigator, Col.
Franklin S. Hutchinson, comment
on the matter.
It is known from sources close
to Senator Copeland that he feels
that vigorous police action,
coupled with the cooperation
which should be expected from
the members of the family. should
have produced better results than
have been apparent in the case.
Senator Copeland has noted, 1t
is said, that a certain amount of
friction and jealousy existed be-
tween the various investigators on
this case, and he has made an ef.
fort to get all the facts in order
that he may be in a position to
recommend to Congress measure
designed to eliminate such diff
Guilty in the future.

racketeer control of the legalized
beer industry of New York city,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania
were revealed today to police in
vestigating the assassinations of
Max Greenberg and Max Hassel,
two "big shot" gangsters, in a
downtown hotel.
The plans were contained in
papers which police took from the
gangsters' safe in the elaborate
suite of rooms where they were
put on the spot" Sunday night.
The papers included records of
payrolls running into thousands
of dollars weekly; reckless loans
made for the creation of the pro-
posed racketeer syndicate; a list
of II breweries owned by the
mob, for several of which the
gangsters had managed to obtain
permits to produce legal 80 beer.
There was one paper which
listed the names of several prom
inent and wealthy New Jersey
business men, which indicated to

NogaIes Demands Ban
on Mrs. Judd Hanging

NOGALES, Ariz., April IS
Q.N.S0. - Declaring that "the
eyes of the nation are turned on
Arizona" the Nogales Chamber of
Commerce today was on record
with a protest against the pro-
posed hanging of Winnie Ruth
Judd, trunk murderess. The reso-
@ution read:
"The last time the State of
Arizona hanged a woman and,
incidentally, the first time, she
was decapitated. The horror of
that hanging caused the world
to shudder. The State is now
ON the eve of another gruesOme
execution. Disgrace may be
added to disgrace.
Ruth Judd should be punished
for her crime. To condemn her
to spend her life behind the
bar, forever away from society,
is to a woman a punishment far
greater than death. To murder
her with a knoted rope would
be crime as great as she COM
mitted in Phoenix on that dark
night in October, 1891"
