TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Japuary 30.—A plan of Augustino Sandino to of Nicaragua after giving the appear- ance of abandoning the warfare which he has waged for two years was dis- closed here yesterday. Froylan Turcios, who has been the general representative abroad of the rebel leader, resigned rather than subscribe to these methods. Sandino outlined the plan last De- cember in a letter to Turcios. He would agree to cease fighting and leave the country, provided all United States troops acuate Nicaragua. Sandino was to discharge his men and s..vender, apparently, his arms to President Jose Maria Moncada a had left the de tagalapa, Jinotega and Nueva Segvia. | Sandino, however, would surs only part of the arms and woul | his main armament in the mountains. His men would remain in these fo! | northern departments, apparently dedi- | cated to agricultural work, bu* in real- ity for a call from their ieader. Sandino would go to Mexico and while total evacuation was being com- pleted by American troops he would secretly “organize a strong maritime { expedition. Once the country was clear of its northern defenders, he would at- tack the important seaport of Corinto while his former 2army, reorganized, would join him and march on the capital. ‘Turcios discouraged the plan and to!

Edward P.

NORTHCOTT'S FATHER CHANGES EVIDENCE State Witness Repudiates Former Statements in Case of Youth Held in Ranch Murders. By the Associated Press. RIVERSIDE, Calif., January 30.—The | testimony of Cyrus Northcott in behalf of his son, Gordon Stewart Northcott, encouraged the latter today to continue single-handed his own defense in his trial on charges of murdering three boys on his ranch near here. The elder Northeott, who has been | held in jail for months as a material witness for the State, repudiated some of the siatements he made to investi- | gators at the outset of the case when | called as a defense witness. cution did not put him on the stand. More testimony from the father was in prospect for today, aftyr which the accused youth may place his mother, M; Sarah Louisa Northcott, on the |stand. She was returned here as a | witness from San Quentin Prison, | where she is serving a life sentence |on her plea of guilty of participating | in the murder of one of the four youths | alleged to have been slain at the ranch. | "Cyrus Northcott was on the stand | most of yesterday. At first his atti- | tude was ‘hostile, but as the son's ques- tioning progressed it became apparent | that the father was not going to help | the prosecution. The son, apparently sensing the change, was quick to modify the tone of his questioning. He began to ad- dress as “daddy” the gray-haired man whem previously he had - vowed he would “take to the gallows with me.” On cross-examinaticn, the elder Northeott sparred heatedly with Chief | Deputy District Attorney Earle C.

It must be added, however, that the American Hotel in L'Union does | not serve American-style food. H Table Set on Porch. While the press was being enter- | tained on the courtyard porch of the hotel, the President-elect and his wife were being feted as only a hospitable Central American republic honored guests. A long table had been set on the screened, open porch on the second floor of the railway house, and it was burdened with vases of tropical | flowe: The rattle of dishes and the | { confusion of voices mingled inharmoni- ously with the stirring strains of Span- ish marches and the soft airs of Latin love songs played by a uniformed band on_the lawn below. Salvador, like Honduras, has no pro- hibition law. At each plate were wine glasses and a champagne tumbler, and, | fortunately for the President-elect of the dry United States, there was also a | bottle of mineral water for each guest. | The food was served in courses, with an abundance of gravies and sauces and | condiments. There were courses of fish and fowl and meats and several { varieties of vegetables, some familiar (and some strange. Great bowls of | bananas, oranges, figs and mangoes sup- | plied the dessert. | Prior to the banquet Mr. Hoover had conferred with the Salvador officials | regarding their country and its affairs. In this conference, as with the discus- sions in Honduras, the President-elect had sought to impress his hosts with the fact that he was not on a trade- boosting expedition for American ex- porters, and he had purposely avoided initiating a discussion of trade prob- lems. He had found, however, that the Central Americans were eager to stimu- late commerce between their: ports and the United States. Perhaps that is why Mr. Hoover touched upon the commer- cial theme in his brief remarks at the close of the state banquet. | Foundation of Progress. i “We probably hear more of economic | {and trade relations between countries | | than any other one subject in the field | f international life,” he said. “This | may be easily explained, for out of our | economic life do we build up the foun- | dations upon which other progress Tests. ! ‘And our international economic res| lations can have but one real founda~ tion. They can grow only out of the prosperity of each of us. They cannot flourish in the poverty or degeneration | {of any of us. Our economic progress is | It is not competitive. | “But cconomic development does not | {and should not be the sole basis of | |exchange between nations, but rather | the incident thereof. We have the | mutual problems of peace. of building up5 confidence and friendship and the in- stitutions and ideals of each of our nations.” 2 | . Salvador's commercial relations with { the United States prior to“Mr. Hoover’s | visit had been the chief factor in the | |spread of North American good will in | that country. Prior to the World War, | Salvador viewed Uncle Sam with sus- | picion and rather resented his efforts {to cut in on the trade built up by! | enterprising British and German mer- | chants. Changed economic conditions, growing out of the war, gave American | commerce its chance to break into the Salvador markets, and even to venture into the field of railroading, then monopolized by the British. Now, ac- | cording to Salvador officials who greeted {the party at L'Union, the feeling of distrust which once reigned has given way to one of friendly understanding. Toasts Follow Oratos The after-dinner oratory was fol- lowed by the usual toasts, with Mr. and | Mrs. Hoover handling the champagne problem as diplomatically as they had| handled it at Amapala. { | Word was sent in that a mativel /marimba band was desizous of giving a | special concert in honor of “Presidente | and Senora Hoover.” Senor and Senora | Hoover joined in an immediate request that the band be admitted forthwith. The band was composed of about 10| Indian marimbists of various ages and heights, ssibly all members of one family. The youngest was a brown lad | of 6 or 7 years, carrying a trap drum | and sticks. The handmade marimba table which | can fete i i { | | mutual, { | too big to go through the doorway, so th: legs were removed and it was car- instrument was too unwieldly ken up the narrow stairway. The perspiring natives had about reached their wits' end when Mrs Hoover appeared and said she would come downstairs for the concert. The marimba is native to-that part of Central America, and the untrained musiclans who wrenaded the Hoovers that evening displayed a skill that won Mrs. Hoover's unstinted admiration. The selections included popular Spanis tango airs and a<humber of melodious native songs of the pre-colonial cra. Master of Syncopation.

Beauregard that it would be unsafe to enter the boats until the waters had grown quieter, it seemed. but the officer expressed the opinion that the strong current and adverse waves would preclude an early departure. It was then about 10 o'clock. and members of Mr. Hoover's party began to discuss the prospects for a night on shore. ‘The winds were diminishing, | |the highest rate—a dollar a word—for | tions. e about midnight, but little ce had been given to these asser- But the natives were correct in their prophecies.

Pollner, at 3340 Park place, | last night, two colored men escaped to the roof and the flight of one over the housetops was stopped only by a builet fired by a policeman. Following their capture, they are reported to have confessed to a number of robberies In that section of the city, and a quantity of stolen goods was recovered. The one who was shot gave his name as Clarence Dixon, 32 years old, of the 1400 block of Fifth street, and is at Freedman's Hospital under police guard. The other, Mason John Hick- erson, 17 years old, of the 1000 block of Forty-eighth street northeast, is being held at No. 10 police station. They were captured following a tele- phone call to the police station by Leon Standish of 422 Newton streetf. His home adjoins that of Mrs. Pollner, who is said to be in Indiana. No one was staying in the Park place house. Police reserves at the tenth precinct were sent to the place. When Dixon and Hickerson saw the officers entering the house they climbed from a window to the roof. There Hickerson sur- rendered, but Dixon ran. Policemen H. C. Lee and C.

NEW YORK, January 30.—Police Commissioner Whalen announced yes- terday that he had discharged Joaquin Torres, his chauffeur for 12 years' be- cause of the argument the man had with a traffic officer on Fifth avenue yesterday. The policeman, Michael Curry, has been transferred from traffic .to patrol duty. Whalen said have obeyed Curry when ordered to move Mrs. Whalen’s automobile, which was parked in front of a store. On the other hand, the commissioner thought the patrolman should have used “‘common sense” and not made a spec- tacle of himself” at so public a place as Fifth avenue and Thirty-eighth street. Curry took Torres 1o a police sta- tion on a charge of obstructing traffic, but the complaint was dismissed. A summons would have been enough, in Mr. Whalen's opinion.
