 UP TO ARREST

 Not Accepted

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-William P. MacCracken, surrendered last Sat- urday night to Sergeant-at-Arms Chesley Jurney, of the United States Senate, at Jurney's home, but Jurney refused to accept the surrender Had the surrender been accepted it would have developed a question of jurisdiction between the District of Columbia Court and the Senate, one thing Jurney sought to avoid.
 However, Jurney stated the sur- render was not accepted because he did not have the warrant for his arrest with him, that it was locked in Jurney's desk in his office and he would not be able to get it until Monday noon.

Federal Salaries and the Cost of LiUing Theory

This is freely admitted by expert statisticans and
is readily apparent to the layman.
Even however, if such determination could be
made it is obvious that blanket cost of living figure
can be made applicable to every community in the
country.
SUCH FIGURES AS THE GOVERNMENT
GATHERED TO MAINTAIN THE PAY CUT
PROVED THIS CONTENTION, FOR THEY
SHOWED A DIFFERENTIAL OF FIVE PER CENT
BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND THE COUNTRY
AS A WHOLE
Similar and possibly greater, differences exist
as to other cities and towns
YET under the law it exists and it will continue
to exist unless the McCarran amendment is enacted,
these differentas cannot be taken into account in fix
ing Government salaries.
UNDER SUCH SYSTEM GOVERNMENT EN-
PLOYES IN ONE CITY MAY BE GIVEN SALA-
RIES WHICH ARE EXORBITANT WHILE IN
ANOTHER CITY THEY WILL BE GIVEN SALA-
RIES UPON WHICH THEY CANNOT SUBSIST

SandinO'S u. S. Victims Are
Entitled to Marble Markers
Blu James T. Williams, Jr.

And the intermediary in Tegu.
cigaIpa was a poet.
"SandinO's chief circle Of
supporters in the United States
and several countries to the
south was led by an intimate
friend of a leader of the con.
sentative party in Nicaragua.
This friend had been private
secretary to this leader during
the European War and was .
German propaganda. For .
time he served as consul of Mica
ragua in New York.
81 found also that SANDING
had a brother in New York who
was aided by a Costa Rican
writer and that a group Of paci'
fists kept in frequent touch
with these two by correspond.
ence when the two left the
United States for Nicaragua to
aid SANDING.
II don't know where SANDING
acquired the lille Of general
1 suppose he gave it to himself.
1 had no chance to know the
alleged military talent Of San
dino. There was no fighting in
the field where 1 once assigned
him. He never cared for the
open field, but preferred the
mountain. His art was the am
buScade.
81 do not know a good thing
about him. In the battle Of
OcOtal, he ordered his lieuten-
ants to the combat, but he
stayed about two miles away,
giving tremendous orders. He
was fond of launching OathS
and threats against his en-
emies, but they remain written
on paper.
"Only by means Of ambuS-
cades have SANDING and his
outlaws ever been able to kill
or wound the armed forces Of
the United States"
Duty of Congress
Now that this outlaw has met
at the hands of loyal Nicara-
guans the fate that he richly
deserved, and the fate that
would have overtaken him in
1929 had Calvin Coolidge re-
manned in the White House an
other year, Congress has a
duty to perform. This is the
duty of providing the same
marble markers for the graves
of our defenders with the
colors scattered through North
ern Nicaragua that mark the
graves of their comrades who
were buried in American soil.
These white crosses in Mica
ragua will attest the devotion
of the American people for
their heroic dead and the con.
tempt of the American people
for those politicians and pub
licists who slandered these
heroes while they were defend.
ing the flag on foreign soil.
