Preliminary conversation. among chiefs of delegations were held to determine the attitudes they would assume in the special sub-commit- tee appointed to pass upon the sub- Ject of the fundame:.':1 rights and duties of states. The attack came suddenly Satur- day after Charles Evans Hughes, chief of the United States delega- tion, had promised the report of Dr. Victor Maurtua of Per. the full and unconditional support of the Amer- ican government. Dr. Maurtua’s re. port expounded the principle that the independence of the countries is correlated with their duties not to “interfere with or violate the rights of other states.” Called Too Vague This was attacked as too vague. The Rio Janeiro jurists’ report say- ing “no state may intervene in the internal affairs of another” was urged in its stead. The attack on the Maurtua re- port was led by Argentina, while Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, San- to Domingo, Honduras, Columbia and Uruguay joined ‘1 assailing The United States delegation wis optimistic today that a final agrec- ment would be reached, but other deleg:tes were wary in predicting what the final outcome of the sub- committee’s work woull be. ts committee Will probably not meet for several days, since a plenary session is scheduled for tomorrow and the arrival of Col.

Faces Two: Actions Transfer of the case to the courts was voted by the senate when its efforts to bring Stewart before it to face a contempt eharge was frus- trated by the: issuance by Justice Jennings Bailey of a restraining or- der ‘lifting the oil man’s arrest by the senate. Thus Stewart may have to defend himself almost simultane- ously in two actions designed to hold him subject to a contempt sentence of from one to 11 months in jail. Counsel for the senate will oppose the restraining order at the hearing before Justice Bailey on Tuesday. Should the senate’s power of arrest be upheld, Stewart still might for a time escape the senate’s jurisdiction appealing in turn to the District of Columbia court of appeals and the supreme court of the United States. if Stewart eventually is returned to face the senate, it is the intention of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon- tana, prosecutor of the oil inquiry and prime mover of the arrest of the oil man, to request that sentence for contempt be fixed, rather than give the witness further opportunity to testify. With the Stewart. episode now out of its immediate field, the oil ‘com- mittee turned tgday to other wit- nesses who were, hoped to give clues to disposition made of the Continen- tal company’s $3,000,000 profits. MARINES ARE HOT ON TRAIL OF SANDINO Reinforcements Sent to Mata- galpa When Word Is Received That He Is Near There Managua, Nicaragua, ‘Feb. 6.— (AP)—American marines massed in the mountainous region some 40 miles south of the Honduran bor- der today, seeking ‘the rebel general Augustino Sandino. Reinforcemen:s were speeded to Matagalpa by truck when the marine command heard that Sandino was near there. Missing since the air raid on his] 4, stfonghold of El. Chipote, when he was believed to have been wounded, the rebel leader..had apparent!y moved further . to. -the. south. Tagua. + ‘With the rebel leader was a force their foreign connections were pub- licly disclosed.” Foreign interests, the president said, have the privilege of being represented in the United States and their right to fair treatment is acknowledged. “But,” he added, “when foreign governments are represented here, their agents are requird to come publicly accredited and be publicly received. “For generations law has for- bidden our own citizens entering into any negotiations for a foreign government concerning its relations | with our own government. Such negotiations can only be carried on under the direction of the presi- dent.” Publicity Is Safeguard The President reiterated his be- lief that one of the greatest saf guards of official integrity is pub- licity and while this should not ex- tend to “an espionage” of the per- sonal and private action of govern- ment officials, it does concern their vublic conduct. ho have interests which may be affected by govern-| mental action should have the pri ilege of employing representatives to present their cause and defend their rights,” he continued. “Nobody questions this on the] judicial side, but those who are so engaged are required to be licensed and their appearance before such tribunals is a matter of court rec- ord. As in the case of the federal government those who sre ane'o- gously employed in legislative and departmental. matters are not re-, quired to make a like disclosure of | the interests which they undertake; to serve, it is necessary to de on the press for such information.” As tim s on, Mr. ige said, “ spirit of mankind” is more and more demanding that gov- ernment and society be conducted under the laws of truth, and he ca tioned that those. who forget thal precept “are bound.for a moral ex- plosion.” tee Agency of Prevention “Publicity,” he. said, “is not only the main ageney. of reform, it is likewise the agency of pre- vention.

Business Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb, 6—)— Two coal and iron policemen were shot and a woman was injured by a state trooper's horse during a mine strike riot at Phillipsburg, near California, Pa., today. The coal and iron policemen, J. D. Buttermore and IF. P. Byrne, em- ployed under state commissions as ‘uards at the Crescent mine by the ittsburgh Coal company, were struck by the charge from a shot- gun, They were not dangerously wounded. According to the police, several hundred men and women, acting as union pickets, appeared at the mine and tried to persuade the non-union miners not to go to work. The coal and iron police attempt- ed to disperse the pickets, it was said, and during the brush between the officers and members of the crowd, a shotgun was fired, wound- ing the policemen. State troopers who were summoned restored order quickly, An unidentified woman member of the crowd suffered a crushed foot when a trooper’s horse stepped on her.
