Will Present Solid Front at Hear
ing Before House District
Committee.

The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations and number Of the affiliated
associations, with delegations from
the Washington Board Of Trade,
Chamber Of Commerce and other buSi-
ness and civic organizations are to
present solid front on Wednesday in
opposing the Smith bill to increase
the gasoline tax in the District cents
per gallon at hearing before the
House District Committee.
The District Commissioners will also
be represented at the hearing by Will
liam w. Bride, the corporation coun-
sci, in opposition to the proposed tax
increase.
The only supporters Of this 1egisla-
tion are Virginia and Maryland mem
bers whose only argument for the in
crease is that In their States the tax
on gasoline is higher and some of
their residents are apt to come into
the District to buy gasoline at a
cheaper price.
At a previous hearing before two
members of the subcommittee headed
BY Representative Clark of North
Carolina, Representative Smith of Vir-
ginia and the assistant commissioner
OF motor vehicles for Virginia urged
favorable action on this measure while
representatives Of the American Auto
mobile Association and various other
organizations of motorists opposed the

Sandino's Friend Expects War as Reprisa]

he related to Marsh, and seized her
by force from Sandino.
Raging In wrath at this second in
dignity which he attributed to the
Conservative party, Sandino Joined the
troops Of Sacasa, who were In o nearby
region. Within . short time he had
become one Of the chief aides to Gen.
Moncado.
Henry L. etimson, who was later
to become Secretary of State, was sent
by President Coolidge In charge Of an
expedition to settle the Nicaraguan
situation.
During the discussion between lead
ers Of the rival factions, it was agreed
that certain terms Of peace would be
observed. Sandino refused to accept
the terms on the grounds that his
adopted party, the Liberals, were not
receiving due consideration. However,
the terms were accepted by all other
leaders.
In view Of the entire assemblage,
eye witnesses told Marsh, Sandino
gathered 200 mules, loaded them with
ammunition and guns, and with 400
followers at his back struck out into
the mountains. From then on during
several years Sandino made the gov
ernment support him by raids when
he would swoop out Of his retreat,
seize what he needed or wanted, and
disappear again.
In 1925 the National Guards were
formed under the direction Of United
States Marines. They were to be used
as an army for subduing Sandino-
5000 were recruited. Meantime all
efforts Of Marine and native troops
to secure Sandino had ended in
disaster, either his followers had cut
down their pursuers or laughed at
them and disappeared on their little
known trails.
Once Friendly to U. 9.
Prior TO the arrival Of Marines In
heavy force with Stimson, Sandino
was friendly to the United States, he
told Marsh, but after his dramatic de-
parture from the conclave held by
Stimson he became bitter against all
representatives Of this country.

held In Nicaragua. Sandino had be-

his death probably will write another
chapter in the bloody history Of revo-
luton.
The story Of Sandino's life is one Of
bitterness and Illustration, one Of sue
cess and failure. He was q paradox
In himself because he ruled thousands
of persons, levied tribute on their In
comes, protected their interests and
yet never was recognized as more than
a rebel leader of mountaineer clans,
Marsh explained.
His picturesque followers sur
rounding him in his many mountain
retreats, Sandino and Marsh Travelled
over much of the country which had
been the scenes of stirring escapes
from troops out to capture the leader.
Between trips, resting and talking.
Sandino unburdened much Of the
story of his life to the American, who
had penetrated into his encampment.
Death Comes as Shock.
Marsh, an engineer by profession,
declared that Sandino was one Of the
finest, and most beloved patriots his
country was likely ever to have, and
that his death had come as a severe
shock to him
Sandino was born and reared, the
natural son Of coffee planter and
storekeeper, in the tiny village Of Nj
quinomo, not far distant from Man
aqua In later years his father mar
ried and Sandino was a member Of
the household. AS youth his friends
told Marsh he was studious, quiet and
reserved. Physically he was never q
strong man
When he was Just turning into his
nineteenth year the youth was &C.
cepted as a clerk and junior partner
into the coffee planting business OF a
political leader in his home town.
After four successful years Sandino,
according to rumors current among
his friends and never denied by him,
Marsh declared, asked his employer
for some accumulated wages and
profits Of the firm. He was refused,
and became embittered against the
Conservative party of his country,
since his employer was q leader in
that party.
He left for the mountain regions,
which were to be, in later years, his
stronghold. He soon became associated
with q mining company, and his
clerical ability shortly won for him
the position Of commissary superin-
tendent, where he remained for ap-
proximately five years.

aims. He had organized his followers

tains. He had organized his followers
and operated o system of tribute ana
levied taxes on half the people Of that
country. He was as strong as any
leader, but he preferred his mountain
obscurity. He was passionately in
favor Of Nicaraguan isolation from
other countries, with patriotic fervor
never questioned even by his enemies.
sacasa, his old leader In national
campaign days, was elected President
Of the country and was to take office
in January. Repeated requests and
pleas for him to disarm finally won
him over and he capitulated. How
ever, he had bands Of followers scat
tered here and there throughout the
mountains, who had known no other
life than that Of guerilla warfare.
Marsh said Sandino's troops were q
motley crew. Here and there bands
would be remindful of "swashbuckling
pirates" hard-eyed brigands to whom
slit throat was a daily routine mat
ter, but for the most part they were
quiet, working soldiers bent upon
doing the bidding Of their leader, and
convinced that his desire for Mica
raguan security was the keynote Of
his warfare against incumbent gov
ernments.
Farmed New Lands.
Sandino suggested that the govern
ment give his followers land in the
mountains and they would settle there
as farmers. The followers were sub
sidized and placed on their new lands.
At first bewildered, they have slowly
been acclimating themselves to this
new thing-peaceful occupation.
A year has passed, and Sandino,
the terrible ogre Of the mountains,
had returned to the capital under O
peace agreement to turn over the re-
naming guns Of his followers. He
was murdered, and his followers are
looking at one another with question:
ing eyes as their fingers curl about
swords which have become plow
shares"
Then, too, Marsh explained, this Is
the dry season." and when 1t is dry
the weather is calmly clear and lovely,
and the Nicaraguan people become
more than somewhat restless.
