UNITED STATES. FORCES CONTINUE ‘SUPPORT OF DIAZ Cities Taken by Liberals Declared “Neutral” PUERTO CABEZAS, Nicaragua, Jan, 26.—The danger of a clash be- tween United States marines and Lib- eral troops was pointed out today by Dr. Juan B, Sacasa, head of the lib- eral government, in a statement to the press, Dr. Sacasa deplored the situation, but charged that the action of the marines in constantly extending neu- tral zones had aroused hostility. He declared that the Diaz government at Managua could not stand without American support and ‘disclaimed any anti-American feeling on his own part. Declaring “Neutral Zones”. “Hostility has been aroused by the action of the United States marines in following the constitutionalists and declaring neutral all the cities wrest- ed from the Diazista army,” Dr. Sa-j casa said. “Such acts are making Nicaraguans desperate. The situation is bad and is increasing in gravity. Creation of these neutral zones is robbing us of the places captured by us through force of arms.” Will Carry On, Dr. Sacasa expressed the determin-, ation to carry on in spite of all dif- ficulties. He added: “I am convinced that the Daiz gov- ernment would quickly fall should the American government withdraw its support and resume an attitude of neutrality.” Dr. Sacasa, after denying any anti- Americanism referred to the United States as his “second mother country.” “That is where I was educated,” continued the liberal chief. “That is where I became imbued with liberal- ism.” Judge Lindsay Ousted By State Supreme Court DENVER, Colo., Jan. 26.—Judge Ben B. Lindsey, founder’ and judge of the juvenile court of Denver, was ousted today through a decision of the state supreme court. This is a reversal of a previous de- cision rendered by the Denver dis- trict court, which had affirmed the electio nof Lindsey over his opponent Royal. W. Graham. The whole issue arose out of the election of judges in 1924 which was at that time won by Lindsey. Opponent Dead. Graham, backed by the Ku Klux Klan, contested the election returns and demanded a recount. Graham has since died. Klan pressure is de- clared to be: back of the attack on Lindsey.

The Mexican peril is now placed in the front row. The lowest extimate’ of Mexicans living this side of the Rio Grande is 1,100,000, the highest 1,500,000. The number of Mexicans coming to the United States each year was recently estimated by the “Survey of Race Relations” at 100,000 or more. Texas is said to have a Mexican population of more than 550,000. Cali- fornia next with 250,000, chiefly in the southern part ‘of the state. New and Arizona each have 60,000.

Beardsley, secretary-or- ganizer of the local and ally of Mor- ris Sigman, instigator of the Decem- ber 21 conference had the delegates selected by the executive hoard with the idea in mind of having them re- port to that body, and in that man- ner have the local put on record in favor of red-baiting without the members of the local having a voice in the matter. Rank and File Object. Due to pressure from the rank and file members of the union who would not stand for this railroading thru of ch an important resolution the question will be put to a vote at to- night’s meeting. Beardsley and his socialist clique are making extensive, arrangements to pass the recommendation of the executive board: “That the report be accepted and the action taken by the emergency conference. for the preservation of the trade unions be approved.” In a letter that Beardsley has sent out about tonight’s meeting he urges anti-Communists to attend. Wheeler Flays Cal’s Policy in Nicaragua (Continued from page 1) tested against the recognition of Adolpho Diaz: The president either was “misin- formed,” “mislead” or else “withheld vital information” about Latin Amer- ica, which was in his possession, said Wheeler. He enumerated the failure of the president to tell congress that Sacasa had been driven out of Nic- aragua by force, that Adolpho Diaz was a revolutionary chieftain, and therefore ineligible to the presidency, and that Diaz was a violator of the five-power, pact” of the Latin Amer- ican nations, © “The folldWwers of Doctor Sacasa are today fighting for just those same principles of liberty and free goveen- ment for which our forefathers fought in 1776,” said Wheeler. “Indeed it is not too much to say that one would seek in vain im the history of our struggle for independence for a par- allel to the brazen tyranny of our state department in its dealings with the overwhelming majority of the peo- ple of Nicaragua. George, III, never dared to perpetrate upon the Amer- ican colony such fiscal and political inequities as our state department has perpetrated upon the defenseless peo- ple of Nicaragua.” Wheeler discussed the finances of Nicaragua and charged the “state de- partment-banker control” was guilty of “wholesale graft.” . Sat | * Robinson Resolution Before ‘Cal’. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Presi- dent Coolidge had before him today the fact that the senate unanimously favors arbitrating the land law con- troversy with Mexico, The vote on the Robinson resolu- tion, advising the president to peace- ably settle the dispute, afforded one of the rare occasions when the senate has solidly been in favor of some- thing. While there is nothing mandatory in the senate’s action, as applied to the Coolidge-Kellogg policy, the un- amity with which the senate acted is expected to be not without effect in determining the future steps in ad- ministration policy. President Coolidge is expected to take cognizance of the senate’s action, even though he considers the resolu- tion merely an advisory notice of sen. ate opinion. Consider Resolution Rebuke. Some of Mr. Coolidge’s advisors be- lieve he should ignore the senate’s. ac- tion, letting his silence constitute. a “rebuke” to the senate for encroach- ment upon the executive’s direction of foreign affairs, ee ee | General Romero Executed.

He says he has been misunder- stood: He does not now favor gov-/ ernment construction and ownership of the power plant, and government selling of electricity to cities and pri- vate companies. He agrees with Sec. | retary of the Treasury Mellon that | this job should be handled ‘by private capital. The city of Los Angeles has been the backbone of the fight for publi: development of power at Boulder Canyon. It needs more electric eur- vent, at the low price which the gov- ernment would charge. The private electric companies, organized in’ the General Electric combine, are fight- ing the bill by every means that pro- paganda experts can devise.
