u. S. PLAN DEFEATED

Paper Says Project to Make Mon.
roe Doctrine Multilateral

BUENOS AIRES, February 13-The
newspaper Ma Nacion said today that
Argentina killed United States prof.
ect to make the Monroe doctrine a
nultilateral American declaration
prior to the Inter-American Peace
Conference last December.
Quoting an 'extra-of1icial source" {"
which observers believed might be the
foreign ministry, the newspaper said
that before the parley the United
States sounded out Argentina on the
project but that Argentine Foreign
Minister Carlos Saavedra Lamas, then
In Paris, Immediately gave a mega
tive response to those points which
were foreign to Argentine interna-
tional tradition"
under the doctrine first pro-
nounced by President James Monroe.
in 1879, the United States declared 1t
would look with unfriendliness on any
attempt by European power to inter-
vene in any American republic. If the
doctrine were made multilateral, pre-
sumably all the American republics
would declare it their own policy.)
The conference adopted q unani-
mously sponsored peace convention
providing for consultation in the event
OF war or threatened war inside or
outside the Americas, but without rigid
commitments in advance. 4

.FARNSWORTHTR|AL
OPENS TOMORROW
Former Navy Officer Faces
Charge of Plotting With
Japanese.

John s. Farnsworth. former Navy
lieutenant commander, will 60 on
trial before Justice James NJ Proctor
in District Court tomorrow morning,
charged with conspiring with two
former japanese diplomats to COM
inunicate American naval secrets to
Japan.
Around the dapper figure Of the
erstwhile officer, Government prosecu-
tors will attempt to weave q net Of
| international intrigue and espionage.
with claims Of secret meetings, stolen
documents and confidence betrayals.
, From all parts of the Nation and
even from the Atlantic and Pacific
battle fleets. some so witnesses will be
drawn to bolster the Governments
contentious.
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garrett and his assistant, Samuel F.
Beach, estimated that it will take
approximately week to present their
case alone, not allowing for time
which will be consumed by the de-
fense.
Neither Of the alleged co-conspirs-
tors will be present. Both now are III
Japan. Although named in the IN
dictment, they were not made 6e-
PENDANTS. since prosecuting officials
believed their diplomatic immunity
protected them.
Both Have Left Capital.
They were Comdr. Yosiyuki Itimiya
and Lieut.. Comdr. Okira Yamaki, both
former naval attaches at the Japanese
Embassy here. Comdr. Itimiya was
said to have departed from Washing
ton in 1884. and Comdr. Yamaki a
year ago last Fall
Naming of the two was a departure
from the usual custom of shielding
suspected foreign espionage agents.
It Is understood that Farnsworth
will insist on personally examining
Government witnesses when their tes-
timony involves technical matters.
Much evidence of that kind probably
will be given during the course of the
trial, since Farnsworth Is accused CT
seeking various naval secrets Of a
technical nature from other officers.
His attorneys, william E. Leahy and
william J. Hughes, jr., said yesterday
they have not yet decided on all the
details of the defense.
A majority of the Governments wit
nesses are naval officers and their
families. Some have come to WASH
ington from as far away as the Pa
cific Coast, while others were in Flor
ida, Massachusetts,, Virginia, Maryland,
New York and Rhode Island when
summoned to Washington. Several
were at sea.
The cost to the Government in
transportation costs alone will be con-
siderable, although no estimate OF its
magnitude was available.
Another Indictment Pending.
Another indictment Is pending
against Farnsworth, but he will not
be tried on that charge at this time.
It alleges that he turned over to the
japanese Government q confidential
Navy publication, entitled 1.-THE Service
of Information and Security" He is
accused of taking this pamphlet from
the desk Of Lieut.. Comdr. Leslie q.
Gehres in the Navy Department on
August l, 1884.
The conspiracy indictment, which
was returned some weeks after the first
true bill, stated the alleged conspiracy
was carried on from January 1, 1888,
to July IS, 1885, which was the date

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.-
Rescue crews worked at top speed TO-
day in four widely separated Western
areas to free more than 100 persons
in two snowbound communities and
to locate seven missing men.
Thirty-two persons, marooned since
December ~ on the snow-buried north
rim Of the Grand Canyon, near ia
cobs Lake, Ariz., notified approaching
rescuers their food was running low
and they feared another snowstorm.
They reported they would evacuate
their camp by taking to the canyon
trails on foot and moving to the south
rim tomorrow unless aid arrived be-
fore then. The south rim Is 1000
feet lower and has only half as much
snow as the marooned camp.
Tonight, however. they decided to
stick it out until rescuers arrive. Doyle
Smith, member of the snowbound
party, telephoned National Parks on
cials at Jacobs Lake
Waiting Is Tiresome.
Waiting for rescue is the most tire
some part Of their plight. Smith said,
I'VE read and listen to the radio
play cards and just sit around" he
said.
The camp contained two women
one Of them Mrs Carl Cox, an expec-
tant mother. Men in camp prepared
to move Mrs. Cox out on q sled In
event OF emergency.
Rescuers, still 54 miles away, at
tackled the intervening drifts with
three big snowplows. among them q

Richard E. Byrd in one Of his South

Rescuers expected to reach the camp
tonight, but DR.. Morris Krutchkon,

Three searching parties sought five
men Isolated by the record-breaking
January 81 storm in Oregon.
Late today searchers reported they
had found the body Of one man. Mean
time, snow-shoed parties continued
their efforts to carry aid to the others.
Ironically. three Of these men were
reported walled up in Starveout Cab
in near Glendale and presumably
out of rations. A man from the snow
bound country told rescue crews the
three men had food for only . few
days when the storm closed in.
Other searchers went through the
heavy forests east of Coos Bay in
search of A. j. Leaton, trapper, who
left his cabin on Millicoma Creek II

TO COURT RULING
Allow Seamen to Sign for
Voyages Without Dis.
charge Books.
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 13.-
Acting on ADVICE from Washing ION,
Government maritime officials here
bowed tonight to a Federal Court or
der against enforcement Of the Cope
land act. making possible the quick
sailing of three vessels.
The Copeland act. assailed by three
Of the seven unions involved in the
recently settled 98-day maritime
strike, requires seafaring men to carry
discharge books.
The Government oficials' decision
made possible the immediate signing
of crews for the three vessels-the
Dollar Lines President Monroe and
President Lincoln and the United
Fruit Co.'s Cherokee-without requir-
ing the men to have discharge books.
Departure of other vessels, however,
may be forestalled by new court &C
ton to be started by the Government
here Monday. seeking revocation Of the
court order. ..
Confers With Cummings.
United States Attorney H. H. Nc
Pike, after telephone conferences with
Attorney General Cummings. broke
the deadlock when he instructed
United States Shipping Commissioner
John Rylander to sign on the crews.
The Cherokee mace ready to sail for
Panama and the two Dollar liners
will leave tomorrow.
Confusion was general along the
water front for many hours before the
instructions came to Rylander to sign
on crews. ,.
Four ships, tentatively scheduled to
sail today, failed to leave port here,
but not all the delays were scribed
to labor difficulties.
Rylander's deputies specifically de-
clined to approve q crew for the
Oceanic & Oriental Lines steamer
Golden Coast, unless the workers pro-
duce discharge books. The crew pre-
viously had declined to accept the
books. The ship was listed to- sail to-
day for Australia.
This tangle developed after Assistant
secretary OF OOmmeTCS v. n0Wnoc
johnson said in Washington he as
sumed the court order would permit
seamen to sail without the books, but
that it would not halt book distribu-
ton.
Fear Discrimination.
Although many Of the seafaring
groups showed no opposition to the
discharxe books, the sailors, the
marine firemen and the cooks and
stewards attacked the law on the
ground it enabled employers to dis
criminate against individuals.
The act was designed to promote
safety at sea. It require all seafar-
ing men below the rank Of masters
to carry records Of their employment.
Longshoremen's union o11ctals
sought to adjust the jurisdictional dis
pute, temporarily, but the issue re-
mains to be threshed out finally by
arbitration. It involves whether long
shoremen working coastwise ships
shall have their own hatch tenders or
whether seamen or deck Officers shall
act in that capacity.
