MACHADO WEIGHS - QUITTING HIS POST Holds Parley With Cuban Leaders to Determine Future Action. (Continued From First Page.) of soldiers, as the death toll from vio- lent acts continued to mount. Two po- licemen were killed and two others were wounded here last night in gun- fire from an unidentified automobile. In Manzanillo a workman and a po- liceman were killed and several were injured when authorities broke up a riot. Monday night 21 persons were killed and at least 146 woupnded in a demonstration here after a false re- port was issued saying Machado had Quit. Small Shopmen Clubbed. In Havana many proprietors of small shops were clubbed as authorities forced them to open their stores against their will. Police stopped all automobile drivers at the point of guns. The military supervisor in Camaguey notified the newspaper Camagueyano that he would henceforth inspect news dispatches—an indication that censor- ship would be renewed under the mar- tial law decree. Great importance was attached to the arrival by airplane of Secretary of State Orestes Ferrara, who has attended the World Economic Conference in Lon- don. He was expected to confer with Machado immediately. Several legations have asked for in- ;grmfillnn about the deaths Monday. #1e diplomatic corps was scheduled to eet yesterday at 3 p.m.. but the con- Efijnr? was canceled and may be con- ed today.

Formula of Welles. The formula the American Ambas- sador submitted to the President in- cluded these points: That Machado immediately name a secretary of state acceptable to all po- | litical factions. The constitution pro- | vides that the secretary succeed the| President. That the President subsequently ask | Congress for an indefinite leave of ab- sence. Thereafter the new secretary of state would become President and name a cabinet acceptable to all fac- tions Then constitutional reforms, such as the restoration of the vice presidency, | would be submitted to Congress. The program was worked out by Welles and | delegates from opposition groups and | the three political parties. Acceptance by Congress would be followed by a constitutional convention. The Garcia Ramos resolution pro- posed that messafes be “directed by a peoples and governments which make | up Latin America to the end that, de- claring their respect for the sovereignty of little nations in conformity with the agreements adopted in the Pan-Ameri- can Conferences, they make manifest their support of the republic of Cuba, and may repudiate any act or attempt which may tend to minimize the legiti- mate rights which respond to this| (country) for the free determination of its destiny.” Machado’s Statement. In a statement Machado said: “I am confident that the people of the United States will understand that I am watching over peace and order in Cuba and defending against revolution and anarchy the independence, the sov- ereignty and the institutions of a re- public that this same people of the United States nobly aided us to form.” Senator Wifredo Fernandez, Conserv- ative party member, said he considered “more unjustified than ever any sort of intervention” in Cuban affairs and that while he admired Welles person- | ally. “neither he nor any one else can | pretend that Cubans accept with pleas- | ure the slightest attempt on our sov-| ereignty.” HAIL USED IN HOMES Pennsylvania Residents Gather Ice for Refrigerators After Storm.

After a week of waiting, sador, Sumner Welles; after talking with university students who had been imprisoned because of their opposition to the government; after talking with officials of the secret society, A.

We turned down a corridor to the office of the secretary. It was quiet in that corridor. falls. It probably was imagination, but one felt that unseen eyes were watch- ing. Much Hatred in Cuba. There is much hatred in Cuba. There has been assassination, much throwing of bombs. There are those who would take the life of President Machado. In the secretary’s office there was a delightful gentleman, Dr. Ramon Guerra, historian, scholar, teacher and private and confidential secretary to President Machado. It is a quiet, still room. We sat and talked. They asked me what I had heard. I told them that I was sure much of the reports from Havana had been exaggerated. They undoubtedly had. There have been reports of revclutionary armies on the outskirts of the city; of thousands of men under arms in the outlying districts. These were all false. There have been a few hundred men under arms, mostly guerillas who come out of the moun- tains and harass the government soldiers. Dr. Guerra nodded. He is a brilliant man, a great student of history and ecoromics. He knows and the govern- ent knows that public opinion is largely hostile to the Machado govern- ment. He assured me that Machado had not done all the evil things attributed to him. He seemed most curious about outside opinion, about opinion in the United States. Troubles All Economic. “Qur troubles are all economic,” he said. “We must sell more sugar. The United States must give us a larger ota. If things improve, the opposi- tion will die out. “President Machado is undergoing the same sort of abuse that President Hocver did. Mr. Hoover is a good man. He was a victim of a world-wide crisis he could not control.” We talked on. The heavy walls of the palace kept out all outside noise. The clock above our heads ticked on. It was past time for the interview. But in a moment the door opened, a soldier motioned. And we arose. I was on my way to see the man who is perhaps the most difficult man in the world to Machado. An elevator took us up. guard motioned us in. The room was dimly lit. There were no windows open to the street. A large man, clad in a dark suit, arose as we entered. He shook hands. His face is pleasant, though a bit heavy. His forehead is high. His eyes are deeply set. Regrets the Situation. ‘They are pleasant, though. He wears horn-rimmed glasses.

Have you ordered this done?” “I never have,” growing hard. “I never have. have been crimes. I cannot control my partisans in these matters because my supporters, too, have been murdered and beaten. But the government has never done this.” I asked about the students at the university. They have had much atten- tion in the press. They have been leaders in the fight against the govern- ment. Many of the bombs exploded by the opposition in Havana have been made and thrown by students from the closed university. The students have been taken too seriously. The leaders of the opposition know that now. And less emphasis will be placed on the students. Must Change System. “We must change our university sys- tem,” President Machado said. “It is not an endowed institution. It is a gov- ernment school.” There is a mistaken idea that Machado | closed the schools. They could open | today if they chose. They remain closed as a protest. “The university faculty has allowed the students to say what they will do,” said President Machado. “The faculty has been secondary. Imagine an Amer- ican faculty allowing the students to say what they will study, what teachers they will have. We must change this system.” The time was growing short. I had been delayed three days on the inter- view because Machado had gone fishing. I asked him about fishing. His face lighted up. Some of the weariness left it. He seemed more alive. He told of catching 400 pounds of red snapper, of landing sword fish. And then I left. | This is my estimate of Machado. He is essentially a patriot. He loves his country. He would like nothing better than to quit and go out to his farm and live. He lacked the background to meet the crisis which confronted his govern- ment. He was surrounded, for the most part, by self-seeking men who had grafted, increased taxes unwisely, and who attempted a terroristic campaign which was met with terror. Machado grew up during the period of repressive, Spanish government. He and his family suffered from these measures. He served through the war with Spain.

CUBA INTERVENTION MAYNOTBENEEDED Roosevelt Watching Closely. Welles Preparing Some New Proposals. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The administration, in_spite of un- favorable reports from Havana indi- cating President Machado is deter- mined to disregard the advices of Ambassador Sumner Welles, still be- lieves an armed intervention may not be necessary to settle the Cuban troubles. A three-point program offered to | Machado yesterday by Welles has been | flatly rejected by Machado. It pro- vided that Machado take immediately a six-month “holiday,” at the end of | which he should resign; tha¢ all politi- cal parties in Cuba agree on a tempo- rary successor to the office of Presi- dent until new elections under the new | proposed constitution take place, and that for a period of 30 days martial | law should be enforced 50 as toJ)elmlL peace and business to be restored. President Expects Report. Meanwhile Associated Press dis- patches from Hyde Park, N. Y. said President Roosevelt is watching the Cuban situation closely and expects an early report from Washington on the latest trend. While offering his good offices, it was emphasized there is no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the island republic. Welles is engaged at present in mak- ing some new proposals, the nature of which is kept confidential. High quar- ters in the State Department hope the new proposals might be acceptable to the Cuban President. The Assistant Secretary of State, Jef- ferson Caffrey, talked by telephone with Welles at Havana this morning and found that, so far as could be learned, the situation had not changed mate- rially overnight. | The State Department is also in fre- quent communication with President Roosevelt at Hyde Park, who is watch- ing developments with great care and has made it clear that peace and order | should be restored in Cuba. Like offi- clals in Washington, the President has | also indicated that intervention is the last solution of the Cuban trouble which | the United States desires. i Realizes Game Is Up. It appears, from reports received from Havana, that Machado realizes | that his game is up, but wishes to chose | his own time and manner to get out of | office. The situation is, however, too | strained to permit such a “face-saving” | action, and although there is no time | limit for the acceptance of the new | proposals by Machado, there is no doubt | that he will have to get out quickly, if he wants to avoid serious consequences. Those in close touch with the Cuban situation do not share the point of view | of the State Department regarding the question of non-intervention. | Machado, they say, is stubborn and determined. While he realizes that his game is up, he will fight to the last | ditch, and, knowing America’s reluctance to intervene with armed forces, he will use this reluctance as a weapon for | his own purposes. He still has, it is reported. the army and the police force/ on his side and believes that until American forces are actually in sight of Havana, they will stand by him. The strict censorship which prevails in Cuba's capital prevents the army from | knowing how America feels about Machado at the present time. Will Leave With Bang. Machado is reported to have said that if he leaves he will do so with a bang and will do his utmost to force an American intervention, which he hopes will tend to confuse the situation not only in Cuba but throughout Latin America. Machado has been trying to stir up the Latin American republics in his favor, endeavoring to prove that America’s concern in the present crisis means an interference in the internal affairs of an independent republic. His efforts are, however, vain. The Machado regime is highly un- popular throughcut Latin America. The reasons for an eventual intervention by the United States are very clear to these republics. They all know that an_intervention is based on a definite right and obligation America has un- dertaken toward Cuba and does not mean in the least a desire to control the affairs of that republic, once law and order has been re-established. May Need Drastic Action. In view of the stubborn attitude of the Cuban President, and in spite of the high hopes of the administration that the sending of Marines will not be necessary, it is said in usually well informed quarters that scme drastic action may be necessary before the end of the week. While the sending of troops may be avoided, a suggestion has been put for- ward that two cruisers, the Raleigh and the Indianapolis, be sent to Havana, and if necessary, train their guns on the presidential residence. ‘The moral effect of the arrival of two American men of war will be great; the army and the police which are still supporting Machado would thus realize at once that the United States wants the dictator to leave and they won’t be long to abandon Machado. If these forces abandon the Cuban president, any further resistance on his part will be useless, and the situation may cleared without the necessity of land- ing a military force.

Trial of Third Precinct Detectives | Joseph W. Shimon and William V. Christian, on charges of beating a pris- oner while questioning him, opened at noon today at the first precinct police station. Dr. Prank R. Kweul, Gallinger Hos- pital staff physician, testified the pris- oner, Thomas B. Washington, 26-year- old colored tap dancer, had abrasions over the left eye. He said the man complained of pains in the jaw and left ribs, but X-ray photographs revealed no fractures. Due to the absence of two prosecu- tion witnesses, counsel for prosecution and defense agreed to hear as much testimony as possible today and con- tinue the case until next Monday. Therefore, after Dr. Kweul and a physician from Emergency Hospital, who corroborated him had been heard, character witnesses for the two detec- tives were introduced. Officers Praise Accused Men. Inspector Frank S. W. Burke, detec- tive chief, sald Shimon and Christian were two of the department’s most Inspector James F. Beckett likewise commended the detec- | tives, as did Capt. Ira Sheetz, former third precinct commander; Thomas Stanton of the District Fire Departmert and a number of other officers. Shimon and Christian are alleged to have beaten Washington a week ag0 | last Saturday while questioning him or. the second floor of the third precin-t station about an alleged housebreaking in the 1500 block of U street. At the time he signed a statement for Capt. Edward J. Kelly, precinct commander, | claiming the two detectives beat him in the face, ribs and abdomen, but later, after conferring with an attorney, he refused to swear out assault warrants against the men. Washington's was the first of three cases of alleged third-degree brutality to come to the attention of the district attorney’s office within 10 days. Other Charges Made. While investigation of this case still was under way, with Shimon and Christian under suspension, Archie Rice, a writer and a classmate at Leland- Stanford University of former President Hoover, brought to the attention of the District Commissioners and 52-year-old colored janitor who claimed he had been beaten by the two officers, and that the attack had resulted in the breaking of his false teeth. This attack | was alleged to have occurred about a week before the Washington case. Yesterday Assistant United States Attorney Milford Schwartz issued as- sault warrants against two second pre- cinct policemen, Frank Ashley and C. C. Williams, on the complaint of George Mahoney, 19, colored, 2400 block of Virginia avenue, that he had been beaten that day. Schwartz’ action fol- owed a report by Freedmen's Hospital hysicians that Mahoney had a bump on his head and an abrasion on his wrist. The colored man told Schwartz, the latter said, that he had been beaten by the two men with fists and clubs and that they had used an “iron claw” on his wrist. Arraigned in Police Court today, Ashley and Williams pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial. 'TEMPORARY SCALE FOR OIL APPROVED | Favored by Johnson Pending Set- tlement of Controversial Code. By the Associated Press. Temporary effectiveness for a scale of wages and hours for the ofl industry, pending settlement of the controversial code now under consideration, was approved today by Hugh S. Johnson, N. R.
