NEUMGAHA FATAL TONRS.WICHFELD Swift Heiress, Stricken in London, Was Widely Known in Capital. Mrs. Mabelle Swift Wichfeld, daughter of the late Edwin Carlton Swift, Chica- go meat packer, died of pneumonia |, Wednesday in London, according to word received here today. Mrs. Wichfeld was widely known in Washington, where she lived first as the wife of Clarence Moore, prominent sportsman, who lost his life on the Titanic in 1912. After Mr. Moore’s death, she was mafried in 1915 to Aksel C. P. Wichfeld, an attache in the Danish diplomatic corps and nephew of the former Danish Minister to Wash- ington, Constantine Brun. 2 Victim of Pneumonia. It is understood Mrs. Wichfeld was visiting her friends, the Earl and Countess of Port Arlington, when she was taken ill with influenza. Her hosts rushed her from their country estate to their town house in London, where she was placed under strict medical care, but pneumonia developed, causing her death. A son, Lloyd Moore, left this week for Europe, to visit his mother, and is expected to reach London Monday. Mrs. Wichfeld is survived also by two other children of her first marriage, Jaspar and Clarence Moore. Mrs. Wichfield was divorced from her second husband recently. He married Josephine (Fifi) Widener Holden re- cently. His brother, Hubert de Wich- feld, is counselor of the Danish legation here. Built Mansion Here. Soon after her marriage to Mr. Moore, the heiress to the Swift millions and her husband built near Sixteenth street and Massachusetts avenue a mansion, which later was sold to the Canadian government for its legation. Mr. Moore was prominently identified with the sports and social life of Washington. Mrs. Wichfeld made her last visit ‘here more than a year ago, and spent some time also at her Summer home, . Swiftmoor, at Prides Crossing, Mass. She was reported to have lost in re- cent years a large part of the fortune she inherited. ‘The New York social register lists res- idences for Mrs. Wichfeld in New York and Paris, as well as her Mz2ssachusetts Pplace, DRYS TO DISCUSS BEER LEGISLATION Prominent Leaders Will Adgress Public Hearing of Organi- zations Tonight.

DEATHS BLAMED ON PACT THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, ‘FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1933. IMMEDIATE PEACE DUE IN NICARAGUA Pact Calls for Sandino’s Men to Lay Down Arms With- in Twenty Days. By the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, February 3.— An uncfficial summary of the peace pact signed last night by Augusto Sandino, insurgent leader; President Sacasa and the leaders of both major political parties provides for immediate cessaticn of hostilities which have been continuing over a period of several years. Sandino pledged himself to disarm his men, accepting the town of San Rafael Del Norte as the place for the laying down of arms within 20 days from the signing of the pact. One hundred Sandinistes will be per- mitted to retain their arms and will supervise a public land zone which the government will set aside in the north, providing all Sandino's followers with farming rights therein. Skirmishes Reported. ‘These 100 men will be selected joint- ly by Sandino and the president for a period of one year, after which the right of appointment will revert to the President alone. All the Sandinistas are guaranteed constitutional protec- tion. Word reached here today of two skirmishes, one yesterday and one Mon- day, between Insurgents and National Guard patrols n the North. Ten In- surgents were reported to have been | killed and three wounded. It was expected that the signing of the new peace pact would quickly put an end to these sparadic clashes in the remote mountain districts. Returns to Jungle. Gen. Sandino headed back to the mountain headquarters of his army today. His visit was a complete surprise. A plane from his northern jungle re- treat arrived here yesterday with the commander, his father and three politi- cal allies. With an automatic pistol swinging “on his hip, he walked into the presidential palace, sat down wjith President Juan Bautista Sacasa and made his pledge of peace. Then the man who had hunted and been hunted by Nicaraguan native sol- diers and American Marines since 1926 | enjoyed the luxury, particularly for him, of a night's sleep in the palace. “Peace is now a fact.

Marines, who for most of 19 years had been stationed in Nicaragua, completed evacuation of the country within two days after the insuguration of Presi- dent Sacasa, January 1. Only a few days before the last Ma- rines left, more than 20 were slain in engagements since caused considerable doubt whether peace was at hand. ‘The terms of the peace settlement were not made public. “I ask for nothing personally,” the general said. No Thought of Surrender. A protocdl was brought here by San- dinista emissaries less than two weeks 8go, outlining conditions for a truce to “leave the hands of my (Sandino’s) representatives free to make peace in the most honorable way for myself, my soldiers and the Nicaraguan govern- ment.” There was no thought of “sur- Tender,” said his men. ‘The general said he had control of all his officers and men and did not expect any further trouble. After his return by plane today he was to order them to lay down their arms. SATISFACTION VOICED HERE.
