It was pointed out that the Bel- gian banker’s relatives had admit- ted that he used purgatives and di- gestion powders which easily could have been the “toxic matter” that Dr. Paul reported finding in the in- testines. 4 STEEL STRIKERS DEMONSTRATE 00 Stage Solidarity March to Pay-off Continued from Page One Here at Zagreb newspapers and spokesmen for the Croatian Peasant | Party denounce the Belgrade parlia-| ment for its passing of the Nettuno pact and declare that the pact ap- plies only to old Serbia, not to Croatia, Dalmatia and Slovenia, who| press has run as its only account have virtually declared their inde-| ¢¢ the walk out to date, a lying re- pendence of the Jugoslav govern-| port that 200 of the men had re. |ment.

POLITICIAN DEAD. —— FORCE PEONAGE - ON NICARAGUAN REFUGEES AGAIN [Marines Herd Refus gees Out of Honduras MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aus. 15. The forced return to Nicaragua of hundreds of men, women and chil- dren who had fled before the bru- tality of the American marines and the binding of these unfortunates to a peonage more terrible than any they have yet known is contem- plated in a plan which the Ameri- can military authorities have worked out and are effecting in Honduras at present. Many of the refugees are victims of the bombing by American air planes of the village of Chinandega during the marine invasion of the . Nueva Segovia district during the campaign against the army of inde- pendence under General August Sandino. It is estimated that there are vir- tually thousands of starving Nica~ |raguans, many of them orphansy homeless in Honduras as a result of the American invasion. The intention of the American’ military athorities is understood here to bring these refugees back'to Nicaragua where they will ‘be farmed out as on terms of stringent peonage to coffee, banana and cocoa’ plantation owners against whose servitude many of them originall” revolted and joined General Safi dino’s forces.
