&= S i MUST PAY INTEREST FRANCE AWARDED SLAND N DISPUTE Italian King’s Decision, After 22 Years, Goes Against Mexican Claims. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, February 4.—After 22 years the King of Italy, Victor Emanuel, | agreed upon by France and Mexico -s;‘ an arbiter to determine ownership of | y, d-solate Clipperton Rock, Pacific | n island, has found against Mexico | and awarded the sland to France. His _decision, filed yesterday at the Quai D'Orsay, rules that the Mexican government, which has kept a small garrison of men there since 1897, must | quit the island and surrender sovereign- | ty to the French government. 870 Miles Off Coast. Clipperton Rock lies 870 miles off the west coast of Mexico in latitude 10 north, and its sole importance, it ap- pears now, is that eventually it might be used as a seaplane base. It is of | coral structure, and low except for one point, 170 feet high. It incloses & dagoon. The island was afinexed by France in 1857. A party of Americans later in- stalled themselves, but upon represen- | tations by France Washington recog- nized French sovereignty in 1897. In| that same year Mexico, governed by Porfirlo Diaz, claimed and seized the island. In 1908 Diaz agreed to submit the | ownership of the tiny plot to the arbi- tration of the King of Italy and abide his decision. Forgotten During Fighting. About 12 years ago, during one of the | acute periods of the Mexican revolution- ary struggles, the matter of sending supplies to Clipperton Rock was not at- tended to and all of the garrison there, with the exception of one man, died of starvation. The survivor was taken off by & vessel which went to his aid once | attention could be spared from home | affairs. | It is now unirhabited except for the emall military detachment. Guano, a | seabird dung used as fertilizer, is 'its | ‘only product of value. Its Spanish name | is “La Isla de la Pasion"—the isle of the passion. FIRE FROM REAL PISTOL MET BY TOY GUN BANDITS | One Killed and Other Is Probably Fatally Wounded in Effort to Hold Up Grocery. By the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, February 4.—Two | ‘bandits who tried to hold up a grocery | here Monday with a toy pistol met fire from & real in the hands of | the proprietor. One was killed and the | other probably fatally wounded. | ‘The wounded man said he is Paul Kiefer, 35, of New York. He said he knew his companion as “Nichols,” that he lived in Detroit, but that he met him four days ago in St. Louis. | ‘The two entered a grocery on the| North Side here last night and held up | Richard Estridge, 17, stepson of the proprietor, Joseph Glosson. Roused by | the voices of the men, Glosson came downstairs from the rooms where he lives, shot Nichols through the head and wounded Kiefer in the abdomen. In the ensuing scuffle, Estride stabbed Kiefer in the breast with a knife, and Glosson beat him on the head. Kiefer was taken to the city hospital in a dying condition.

February 4 (#).— Under a decision in Federal District Court here Monday the Butte, Ana- conda & Pacific Railway must pay the Government $99,505 interest on $487,116.31 which the rallroad recently was forced to return to the Government | as_excess payment for losses under Federal operation. | Judge George M. Borquin held the | Montana interesi rate of 8 per cent| prevailed, instead of the 6 per cent rate legal in Washington, D. C., which the railroad contended should apply. District Attorney W. D. Rankin said the decision, if upheld by the United States Supreme Court, would affect | settlements made by 106 other railroads, as the court established the rule that interest on refunds should be computed on the basis of legal rate in the State | where each railroad is domiciled.

BUS HEARING UNLIKELY Commissioners Too Busy to Decide Before Passage of Traffic Bill. ‘The District Commissioners vesterday postponed indefinitely a decision on whether they would hold jointly with the Public Utilities Commission a public FEBRUARY 4, 1931, hearing on the question of barring inter- state busses from the congested down- town district. The city heads came to the conclusion that they were too busy at the moment to hold the hearing, and that by the time Congress adjourns and the press of their work lets up somwhat, the traffic bill probably will have pased and cleared up the question now existing as to whether the Commis- sioners or the Public Utilities Com- mission should hold the hearing on the subject.
