tor Jose Manuel Gutierrez at the
close of his defense of the preSi-
dent.
Gutierrez ridiculed the inn
parchment charges which he said
arose from the military bar
racks" He stressed the lack OF
proof presented by the prosecu-
tors and bitterly attacked the ar
my for its interference with civil
authority.
Referring to charges that the
president announced he would
veto the innocent sugar tax be-
fore it was passed by congress,
Gutierrez said:
president Roosevelt, that great
friend of Cuba, announced he
would veto the veterans bonus
bill before il passed the American
congress but the Deople of that
great North American democracy
did not depoSe him but instead
reelected him by q tremendous
majority"
Throughout Gutierrez defense,
the highest tension was evident in
the senate and the public gasped
as the senator courageously at

his colleagues TO save civil govern

A petition by the prosecutors to
explain the impeachment charges

PEACE PLAN

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. Il
G.N.SD.-Discord was swept asid
today in the Inter-American Peace
Conference as a formula for pre-
venting wars in the New World
went with unanimous support be-
fore the conferences peace organ
ization committee.
Ten countries already have
initiated the draft proposals, and
the remaining ii Pan-American
nations have indicated their ap-
proval. United States Secretary
of State Cordell Hull said:
"The proposal contains the
strongest guarantee for peace
this continent ever had, and it
offers a valuable example to the
countries of other continents"
Details of the plan are to be
made public today. 1t is under
stood that the formula calls for
immediate collaboration of the for
eign ministers of the 81 countries
upon threat of war in the Amer
icas either from within or without.
1t will supplement the five peace
treaties already partially ratified
and may provide for active neu,
trality, including non-shipment OF
war supplies to belligerents.

$4,000 BLAZE
IN YARDS

CHICAGO, Dec. IL G.N.S).
One man was reported missing
and so head of livestock were
roasted alive in a $4,000 fire
which swept through four square
blocks Of the great Union Stock
yards early today.
The fire, believed started either
by a careleSSly thrown cigarette
or short circuit in electric wires,
started in the sheep pens. Famed
by a high wind, the flames quickly
turned the old wooden pens into
a roaring inferno and brought
fears of a repetition of the $8,000.-
600 fire that swept the yards in
May, 1884.
Walter Vincent. a watchman in
the sheep barn, was reported miss
ing. The barn was destroyed.
A Sill alarm brought two score
fire companies to the yards. The
blaze was brought under control
after two hours.
The sheep buying offices of
both Armour and Company and
Swift and Company were de-
Stroyed.
At the first alarm employees be
gan leading sheep and cattle from

Canada Halls George
In Routine Manner

OTTAWA, ont, Dec. IL
G.N.S0 1.-THE drama Of a week,
in which the British Empire lost
one king and raised another to
the throne, ended for Canadians
at 1910 a. m. today when Hon.
w. L. Mackenzie King, prime
minister, read the proclamation
announcing George VI sovereign.
Canada's part in the cere-
monies which wrote an end to
the regin of Edward VIII and the
beginning of that of his brother,
was a drab succession Of formali-
ties. Flags flew from the mast
head over all government build
ings, the carlton in the peace
tower of the legislative building
rang out God save the King"
and a battery fired a salute Of 81
guns on Parliament Hill, while
a few hundred people, mostly
curious children looked on.
In his office Premier King read
into a microphone the stereo-
typed terms of the order-in-coun-
Gil announcing the accession of
King George and was followed by
Hon. Ernest LaPointe, who trans
lated it into French. It was rou-
tine and colorleSs and in dis
tinct contrast to the hectic days
of speculation which preceded
Edwards instrument Of abdica-
tion.
Canada has the greatest respect
and admiration for the new
monarch, although he is a
stranger to the people, having
made only one visit to the Do
minion-as a shy naval cadet Of
II in 1918.
Newspapers throughout the Do
minion are unanimously behind
the British people in their choice
of a successor to Edward, and the
Toronto Star in an editorial de-
declared:
"The abdication of one royal
brother and the accession Of an
other to the throne is naturally
the conversation wherever two
British people meet anywhere in
the world. The late king is sue
ceeded by a new King who will
serve his people well. Britain has
a wise form Of government, it Is
in good hands, and good govern
ment will be carried on. 1t is
well to know that the British
Commonwealth has a system Of
government which proves equal
to every emergency"
AS soon as the Canadian parlia-
ment meets members will be in
vited to legislate action confirm
ing the course Of the government
in having the British parliament
legislation as to the abdication Of
Edward and the accession Of the
Duke of York apply to Canada.

ONGS CHEER AS GEORGE VI TAKES KINGS OATH
ST. JAMES PALACE SCENE
OF C0L0RFUL RITES

Neville Chamberlain and Sir
Austen Chamberlain, the Arch
bishops of Canterbury and York,
the Lord Mayor of London and the
Sheriffs of the City Of London
and the peers Of the realm.
All wore the black and gold uni
forms and plumed hat Of council
ors, their breasts studded with
cleaning decorations and bright
with the ribbons of high orders.
George vi Nervous
ALI were received at the palace
entrance by the young Duke Of
Norfolk, the hereditary earl mar
shall, who has charge of corona
tionS and the heralding today Of
the Kings accession.
The crowd outside his Piccadilly
residence shouted as George EN-.
erged:
"GOd save the King. Long
live the King"
Fidgeting at the trappings on
his naval uniform, he was palpably
nervous. He appeared unable to
make up his mind whether to
ignore the crowd or salute. Finally
he smiled and waved his hand.
With his suite, he drove first TO
Buckingham Palace in q scarlet
and maroon state automobile, the
royal standard flying in front.
From Buckingham he motored to
nearby st. James's.
BY that time he had composed
himself and returned the tide Of
cheers with a grave salute.
Smooth Ceremony
The ceremony in the palace
throne room, it's routine centuries
old, went smoothly and quickly.
The councillors first took their
oath of allegiance, then George
entered from the picture gallery.
He made the customary acces-
sion declaration, then subscribed
to the oath guaranteeing the Sc
curity of the Church of Scotland.
Somber fog hung over London
on this second day of the new
kings reign, and the cheers and
pageantry could no5 erase the Bit
ter memories of Edwards choice.
He had said farewell to them
not they to him.
His subjects spoke Of him as If
he were dead. Press mention of
him was like obituaries. One
cockney said:
Edwards not dead, just
buried alive"
