The problems which “stumped” many of the prohibition men ranged from such queries as what they would do upon receipt of information that a fellow agent is *crooked” to why fingerprints are taken of prisoners.

Davis shortly after atriving here this morning, but failed to make an appearance outside the car. due to the heavy mists of early morning. The city was blanketed with fog when the President’s special train halted to attach a new locomotive. Secretary Davis left the train here for a short visit in the State. The Florida temperature was any- thing but what w: expected and when some of the ives at the sta- tion to meet the train were reminded that it was no colder when the party pulied out of Washington yesterday afternoon, they indignantly replied that teday's weather was unusual for this section of the country. Judicial Problems. The discussion of judicial problems ‘will be based on the report of the com- Mnission of jurists, which met in Rio Janeiro last Spring to make compara- tive studies tending toward uniformity o ciyil law. commercial law, proced: law and other branches of private law.

Beforé going in to the din- ing car, he went to the rear platform to pass the time until Mrs. Coolidge was ready to accompany him to break- tast. The President has shown a fondness for the Southern cooking he has re ceived thus far on his journey. There was an absence of sausage at break- fast, but he did not seem to miss it The size and lusciousness of ¥ lorida strawberries seem to take his mind off his customary sausage. After breakfast the President de- voted himself to reading the morning newspapers. Frequently he would put aside his paper to look out upun the scenery. The socalied Coolidge luck had not deserted the party. Before 9 o'clock the fog lifted and the sun came out.

President Coolidge has manifested a keen interest in the country through which his train has passed, principaily because of his knowledge of it only through what he has read, and as is his custom during his travels, he has kept time tables and maps close by hix wide.

Im- perialism” as Issue for Latin Americans. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. Br cable o ot 1058 P4 PARIS, Janu 14.—~The attention of European statesmen is now cen- tered on Havana, where the sixth Pan-American Congress opens Mon: day. The issue is believed here to be whether or not the Latin Ameri- can states will be able to resist en croachments of “United States im- perfalism.” Officlally, the other great powers prof-ss disinterest, but practically all are highly attentive, for the matter is conceived to be one of world equilib- rium, Asia, also is concerned, for Latin America is thought to sympath- ize with Asla on the race issue. Mexico, which poses as bulwark against the United States, has opened the gates wide to Japanese immigra- tion. 8o has Brazil, where it is said there s00on will be 50,000 Japanese colonists. France recently ralsed its diplomatic mission in the Argentine from a ministry to an embassy. Gallardo Interviewed. The Garman and French press both print copious interviews with Foreikn Minister Gallardo of Argentina, who has just sailed for home after a sev. eraj months' tour of Europe. Senor Gallardo told Europeans that the Argentine soon would officially re-enter the League of Natlons, with which it never has ceased co-operating and that Latin America will never ac- cept the Monroe Dostrine, for it be- lieves not In America for Americans, but in America for humanity. Meanwhile Louls Guilaine, leading French authority on Latin America, has just published a book, dedicated to Andre Tardieu, and entitled “Latin America d American Imperfalism,” which is & very able denun fon of the so-called imperialism of the United Btates.

GULICK TO CONTINUE HIS OFFENSIVE BY AIR Offer of Conservative Aid Made by Gen. Chamorro, Former President. By the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, January 14.—The American drive against the vebels will be continued by air rather than by Marine patrols, which run the risk of being ambushed. Bombardment of rebel positions from airplanes has been very effective, Col. Louis Mason Gulick, Marine com- mander in Nicaragua, said in announc- ing his policy. The rebels were dispersing under heavy cover today fearing the effect of bombing. Marine infantry detach- ments massed in the eastern part of the State of Nueva Segovia. They in- tended to cut off the rebel general, Augustino Sandino, in case he should ttempt to escape down the Coco River 1o the Caribbean Sea. Rebel Position Bombed. The planes returning from the Qui- lali district Thursday vigorously bhombed the rebel areas mnear Quilali, where American troops were ambushed iast week, Col. Gulick announced. He <aid that the aviators reported that their bombardment was carried out with disastrous effect. An offer of a Conservative army to the Marines in their drive against Gen. Sandino was made by Gen. Emi- liano Chamorro, former Conservative President. Chamorro returned to Nicaragua recently after a conference with the State Department in Wash- ington, at which he was informed that he would be persona non grata if elected President in 1928, The Liberal newspapers here re- cently charged that Chamorro was supplying Sandino with arms and am munition. Calling on Col. Gulick, Chamorro sald these charges were ridiculous. Suggests Drive in North. Chamorro then suggested that a force of Conservatives in the north be organized to help fight Sandino, because, knowing the country, they could move faster than the Marines Col. Gulick did net reply to this sug. zestion, but in military circles it was said he reminded Chamorro that the Conservatives had hidden large sup. plies of war materials in the North. Chamorro is understood to have agreed that they would be given up 18 provided under the Stimson agree ment for a free election in 1928, Chamorro is believed to have of fered to help organize an eflicient espionage system, maintaining that the Marine intelligence organization in the neighborhood of the Sandino operations contained untrustworthy natives, who had probably betrayed Marine secrets to Sandino.
