Apparently, the seven different to- baccos that blend so happily in Yorktown Cigarette produce a flavor that is more and more being rec- ognized as the right smoke. Try a pack.

By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyricht 4928 MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 12.— According to creditable reports reach- ing here, Gen. Augustino Sandino, with nearly 200 men, has been located on a farm several miles from Yall, 50 miles northeast of Jinotega. Afrplanes led by Maj. Ross Rowell flew over the place, which the major describes as be- ing a large farm with buildings, making it strong for defensive purposes. Maj. Rowell reports that, though he flew low over the stronghold, he was not fired upon. A squadron of planes left Sunday for the purpose of drawing fire from thé bandits. Troops on the ground are also hurrying toward that sector from Jino- tega and Esteli. The discovery of San- dino’s location definitely establishes the fact that he supervised the attack on the column at Daraili, though he was not near the scene of action. Still Debate Election Law. With only two sessions remaining. the House of Deputies still has the McCoy electaral law before it. It was sent to a special committee Friday after the Senate had passed on it the day It was scheduled to be | p for discussion today. Con- i is rife as to whether the bill will pass. Some assert that the faction led by Gen. Emiliano Chamorro is pre- dominant in the special committee. President Adolfo Diaz is pressing for immediate action, hoping that the measare will pass the House today. He is showing the effects of the last few days’ struggle and his efforts to overcome the opposition. Gen. Chamorro is still demanding concessions before he and his follow- ers will cease their opposition. Some reports are that several Chamorrist leaders are looking for a graceful way of swinging over to the Americans. Factions Reconciled. American officlals express the hope that the warring factions may find some | way of agreeing. Such a feeling has been shown within the last few days. Gen. Mocada, Liberal presidential can- didate and foe of President Diaz, broke | bread with him Saturday at a luncheon given to Lieut. Frank Schilt. Later he two men toasted each other in cham- gne. All the Nicaraguan factions were rep- | resented at the luncheon and Gen. Frank Logan Feland and Rear Admiral | David G. Sellers were present. Ameri- can officials are pleased at the fact that | their official affairs in the last few months have brought the rival political leaders together for the first time in nearly 20 years. REFUSES STATISTICS. Co. Official Iiouse Members' Request. Galloway C. Morris of Philadelphia, vice president of the Insurance Co. of North America, today declined to re- view “private and confidential” statis- ties on his concern’s marine Insurance business before the House merchant marine committee. He had been asked by Representative Abernathy of North Carolina, Demo- cratic_member of the commiltee, to give the figures of his company’s un- derwriting of forcign and American vessels to show whether there had been discrimination against this country’s ships. “It would disclose our business secrets to our competitors,” declared Morris.

By the Associated Press. TOKIO, March 12.—The influenza epldemic which has struck Japan, caus- ing the death of thousands, including the 6-month-old Princess Hisa, daugh- ter of the Emperor, apparently is some- what decreasing on the basis of figures made public by the metropolitan police. Deaths now range around 50 a day, including those from bronchitis and pneumonia, which are attributed to the influenza. Most of the deaths are among infants. Official police figures place influenza deaths from November 1, 1927, to March 8, 1928, at 5,490, which is an increase of 500 over the figures for last Winter. . ‘The home office disagrees with the police records, stating that cases of fatalities have been exaggerated, but under the Japanese system the police receive original records of deaths and other reports and consequently the ver- nacular newspapers are inclined to ac- cept the police figures. In fact, the newspaper Asahi recently estimated the influenza cases in Toklo to be nearly 1.000.000, although the police placed the ires at approximately 500,000. Other parts of Japan outside of Tokio also are suflering from influenza, ‘The hools in some districts are reported 0 have been closed. The schools and theaters in Tokio continue in operation. Many foreigners have taken to their beds with influenza, but thus far no fatalities among them have been re- ported. U. §. Liner in Distress.

WOMEN PROTEST PLAN FOR DETAINED CHILDREN Group Tells Commissioners They Oppose Transferring Control From Woman’s Bureau.

The Commissioners have sent to the Budget Bureau an item for inclusion in the District appropriation bill call- ing for an appropriation of $40,000 for the erection of a recelving home for children for the Board of Public Wel- fare. In accordance with the Efficiency Bureau's recommendation, it is pro- posed to place all children detained by the police in this recelving home. ‘The delegation was headed by Helen D.

Dickin- son, Who Left $100,000. mplicity was the keynote of Abraham Line coln’s personality. In thought he went directly and simply to the heart of the most involved questions. His dress was simplicity itself. It amounted to just the conventional covering of his tall, thin body. His table was simple—frugal. A light eater, his diet was confined almost en« tirely to natural food. Milk and bread oftimes served him as a meal, and then again he forgot to eat at all. Natural foods have great sustaining powers and are most easily digested. They ime part a ruggedness, endurance to a body nour- ished on them that is not obtainable in any quantity of refined foods. Milk is the greatest natural food. Simpson's Milk is for sale at every neighborhood grocer. dames E Connelly President For Quality_Peas at s Moderate MENU PEAS They Will Surely Please.

He said his tests were but half completed. CHINESE POI:ICE INVENT NEW CENSORSHIP PLAN Size of Russian Newspapers in Manchurian City Is Regulated.
