.~ MACHADO DENIES PLAN T0 RESIGN Third Day of Suspension of Constitution Quiet—Cen- sorship Remains. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, December 13.—President Machado issued a public statement to- night, declaring that rumors of his pos- sible resignation in the face of political unrest were “so absurd as not even worthy of my political adversaries.” The President said that any thought of resignation during this time of “Cuba’s need” would be “an inexcus- able swerving from the dignity of my trust* and a “demonstration of ingrati- tude toward those who have pinned their faith in my ability and courage to head the nation.” “I would be placing the constitution and institutions of the republic at the mercy of an irresponsible revolutionary !, movement,” he asserted. Bound by Duty. “In the name of Cuba, the defense of the law and the nation’s prestige among other nations,” he said, “I am bound to be generous and kind to cit- izenry, but unrelenting in my treatment || of enemies of order, and above all to || remain in office and justify the faith of the patriots who named me President use they felt I would not weaken.” No disorders were reported in Cuba today, the third day through which the republic has lived without constitu- tional rights, due to suspension of guar- antees, ordered by the President when the government was threatened by po- litical unrest. Troops have been called out only at two points—Cienfuegos and Guanta- | namo—and the series of disturbances which threatened to culminate in an armed revolution seemed today to have been temporarily halted. | There are 57 days remaining until | Machado's specially invested suthority | for a 60-day suspension of guarantees expiresa Censorship Still in Effect. | During this time the government hopes to see political difficulties ironed | | out, particularly in reference to the student situation, which at the present || moment is the most important under ! consideration.

Outgoing cables and wireless dispatches have not been scrutinized since the latest decree of censorship was issued.

I DETROIT, December 13.—Ten for- mer custcms patrol inspectors, indicted by a Federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to violate the customs laws, pleaded guilty when arraigned today before Federal Judge Edward J.

MAN AFRAID OF BANK LOSES $1,200 GOING HOME Men Jostle Him on Street Car and Escape Despite Chase by Policeman. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, December Priedman, a grocer, had his doubts sbout the safety of & bank here yes- | terday and withdrew his balance of | $1,500. By the time he got home he had but $300. Two men who jostled him on s street car got the rest. At the bank, Priedman told police, he stuffed the roll of bills into his pocket. On the street car two men elbowed and pushed him vigorously, and just wheh he was about to protest he || epled $300 of his money on the plat- form. He grappled with the nearest stranger, but the second man came to | | his companion’s rescue and both leaped from the car at the next stop. A patrolman gave chase, but both ||| men got away. A crowd of several hundred gathered sbout the bank today and withdrawals for a time were heavy, but all demands were met and George W. Page, State bank commissioner, and Waldo New- | comer, president of the clearing house | sssociation, issued reassuring state- | ments. i TENNESSEE DAILIES | FROM NEW QUA Ultra-Modern Music Opens Up Vast Possibilities With Double Number of Scale Notes. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 13.—There were 24 notes in the scale as Hans Barth played the piano in a triple- header recital at Carnegie Hall today, featuring the new quarter-tone piano. Barth opened with the harpsichord, playing compositions dating back to 1653, moved then to the planoforte with a_ conventional program topped with Chopin and finished with an ultra- modern exhibition of versatility on the | en quarter-tone piano. ‘The new instrument, which divides the regular scale of 12 notes into 24, resembles an ordinary concer:i grand excepting that a second keyboard and a second set of strings are set above the others. Barth used two numbers of his own and a prelude by George Gershwin to demonstrate the new type of music, { The Gershwin number, which was the only one apparently familiar to the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The Barth gumbeu which, unlike the Gershwin prelude, were composed with the new instrument definitely in mind. had an | exotic, sometimes weird entity, but| quarter-tone runs had a tinkling, pleas- ant quality, and the audience was un- willing to permit the demonstration to d. | " As the program notes explained. the | | musical ear, attuned by generations to | the half tone division of the scale, had difficulty in adjusting itself to the still further cleaving of tone. No attempt was made at experiments in tempo, the pianist placing all his emphasis' upon tonal strucures and leaving to his audience a contemplation of the compositional possibilities of & | scale that doubles the number of piano- forte notes. LIQUOR DELIVERED 10 OFFICER, SHELD Runners Delivering Gin After Policeman’s Call Are Arrested. Something of an innovation in deal- ing with bootleggers was introduced by Policeman V. F. Cannon of the second precinct last night, when he called the number of a well known liquor distrib- uting establishment and was rewarded by having three “runners” respond with a quantity of “samples.” Apparently intrigued by the manner in which his call was received and the polite “How many?” that greeted his request for a delivery, Cannon, after naming his choice, waited calmly on the doorstep of a Georgetown residence until a limousine drove up with three occupants. Alighting from the machine, after looking twice at the number of the house, one of the men started forward, but changed his mind and began to re- trace his steps when he saw the for- {nla.ble r;:m of the bluecoat stationed in open! car. “You've got the right place” sald Cannon, slapping him on the hip. Search of the man and the two oc- cupants of the car disclosed nine pints of gin and two pints of whisky. They were booked at the second precinct as John L. Brenner, 29, of 1405 Harvard street; George A. King, 28, of 1717 De Sales street, and Danny B. Miller, 30, of Penn Grove, N. J. All were chai with possession and the car seized. Po- liceman W. R. Rostrum of the second precinct aided Cannon in making the arrests. . . Count Sentenced as Thief. BUDAPEST, Hungary, December 13 (#)—Count Nikolas Nyary, & young Hungarian aristocrat, who lost his patri- | 3 mony through the partitioning of Hun- gary and was forced to live on the small salary of a clerk, today was sen- tenced to eight months’ penal servitude for stealing his landlord’s carpets and furs in her Summer resort. URGES PRIE CUTS TOHELP BIIESS Surplus Goods Should Be Put in Reach of Needy, Financier Declares. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 13.—That volume business can be done if our manufacturers and distributors will be far visioned enough to put prices in line with the present purchasing power of the American public is clearly indi- cated from reports received by Sulz- hu:)il;lr, Granger & Co. from more than 00ods in New York City, according to Jeffrey 8. Granger, partner in the firm. The investigation further showed that even high-priced luxury lines, if proportionately cheap, can be moved. “A great deal has been written about maintaining our high standard of liv- ing, and with this I thoroughly agree,” says Mr. Granger. “Some, however, have confused high prices with a high standard of living. It is not necessary, in my opinion, to maintain a high-price level in order to have a high standard of living. If we can get the comforts of life at reduced prices, it is not harm- ful, but might even be regarded as an advantage, especially since America tends to move more and more as & part) of the world market despite domestic tariff barriers. . “Our increased production in {itself is not harmful. The fact that we can produce in this country so much more | than we produced last year should be | a source of strength to us rather than weakness. We have plenty, but it does | not reach the people for whom it was produced. There exists an actual sur- | plus of manufactured commodities, and | an infinitely greater potential ove: supply, yet these goods cannot be ac- quired’ by the millions who need them | badly for current consumption. This overproduction must be brought to the consumers. The cycle must be stopped and started in the opposite direction. To my mind, the most effective action for quick mass results lies in placing our consumers in a position to buy the required materials, which, in ‘turn, | means low prices and some degree of RECOVERY PREDICTED - BY SCHWAB AT DINNER Bethlehem Steel Corporation Head Urges Living Standards of ‘Workers Be Maintained.
