We were told that Sandino had decided to die for a cause. We hoped to convince *him that he should alter his position and live for a cause. We were seeking, it possible, to bring about a recon- ciliation between Sandino and Gen- eral McCoy, since we believed that Sandino’s death was inevitable un- less he would agree to conciliation. *“Unfortunately we could not sec Sandino. We talked with his father, “some of the members of our party talked with his wife, but we were thwarted at every turn in our ef- forts to reach the extinet volcano where S8andino makes his headquar- ters. Dangerous Mission “American marine officers {h Nicaragua tried to convince us that our mission was one of danggr and foolhardiness. They declared ican or hold one for ransom_than listen to any peace overtures. They ‘were afraid that if we went intothe eountry where 8andinoéwas operat- ing that we would ke captured, killed or held for ransom and that 1t would then be necessary to send out a party of marines to assist us with consequent heavy loss of life.” the Central American | that | ) Sandino would rather kill an Amer-"| ¢ Marine officers finally agreed to allow the peace pilgrims to attempt to ascertain from Sandino by tele- graph whether he would guarantee {them safe conduct into and ‘out of | Lis stronghold.

To Continue Operations. “In response to our ptea for time, Colonel Mason W. Gulick of the | marine corps said that he would not stop operations against Sandine for ! five minutes.

A large crowd is expected because these two matters have been before the voters for several months and have aroused a great deal of discus- sion. No action will be taken to- night on the proposal of the school board that a junior high school unit be errected at the center. The finance board has agreed to secure added information in regard to the | project and it will be taken up at & later date. The finance board has approved an appropriation sufficient to cover the cast of purchasing 600 feet of fire hose and it has stipulated that 80 per cent of the voters present at tonight's meeting must vote in favor |of the appropriation. Some que tion has arisen as to the board’s power to require this. | The hiring of a visiting nurse has been suggested by the school board several times before but the mat. ter has never been taken up at & town meeting.

Stewart, former president of the State Leaguc of Republickn clubs and for many years political associate of President Roosevelt. Republican headquarters announc- ed that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would start Friday on a lecture tour of the middle west, and The Times said that the tour was “with the hope that his candidacy for the re- publican nomination for vice-presi- dent may be promoted, but by no means abandoning hope of the nom- ination for governor of New Yerk. Butler Feels Youthful At a dinner in his honor at the New York Young Republican club, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia unijversity was introduced by the club's president as a potential candidate for the republican presi- In redponse he told the members that “to aspire to the presidency one must be old, un- employed or bored, or a combina- tion of the three.” “1 feel very youthtul, I am very busy and my waking hours are/quite exciting,” he said. *“And besides, I have not opinions, but convictions, and they are not for sale.” George W. Olvany, leader of Tam- many Hall, expressed complete con- fidence that Governor Alfred E. Smith would receive the democratic nomination, and expressed the opin- ion that either President Coolidge or Vice-President Dawes would be selécted by the republicans. “Times” Statement The Times sald that former, Gov- ernor James M. Cox of Ohio is un- der consideration for temporary chairman of the democratic national convention in June, and that he has the endorsement of many Smith sup- porters. Others under consideration, according to the.Times, are John W. Davis, democratic. nominee in 1924, and Roland 8. Morris, former am- bassador to Japan. The Times said that Governor Smith’s friends Wwere uncertain whether he should go to Houston for the democratic convention, and that opinion on advisability of the trip was about cvenly divided. ; Dr. Butler, in his speech before the young republicans, sald that President Coolidge, although a re- publican, i the greatest present day follower of the Jeffersonian philoso- phy of government, and that distinc- tions between the major pagties dif- fer so from time to time that the voter must choose on the basis of fu. ture probabilfties and not of party history and claims. gl HE expressed the opinion that neither party would “have the cour- age” to mention prohibition in its nationaiwplatform, and that the vot- ers would have to be guided by the personality and character of the can. didate rather than by any declarg- tion of the pagty platform. so far & prohibition is concerned.

Curtis-For-President Joseph Steinberg, secretary-treas- urer of the Curtis-for-Presideat club, denjed published reports that Bena- wor Charles Curtis of Kansas was using his presidential candidacy as a stepping stone to the vice-presis dential nomination. “That is not true,” Steinberg said, “unless, of course, President Cool- idge should choose to run. I still be- lieve that is possible and that the republican ticket will be Coolidge and Curtis” 3 Houston, Texas, promised the democrats to do everything but change the weather to make their convention ‘a success. Mayor Hol- combe admitted, at a socia! lunch- eon given by National Committee- man Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, that it might be & bit warm in Houston in June, But, he added, there weren't many chill breezes in New York in June of 1924, Grandson of President Grant Dead In France Paris, Jan. 26 UP — Algernon Ed- ward Sartoris, grandson of Presi- dent Grant, died at his home at 8t.

Woods of 338 Stanley street, superintendent of the Corbin Cabinet Lock Co. Mr. Woods left his car parked in front of his home yesterday for a short time. Later when he went to drive away he found )it covercd with spots, as| though it had rained. Thinking someone had thrown water he paid no attention to it and drove off. La- ter he again left it in frent of the house and again found the hood cov- ered with spots. His curiosity arous. ed he found the spots to be sticky. Further investigation found them to be spots caused by sap droppig from a maple tree under which the car was parked. The incident bears out the dis- covery made by Traffic Policeman Hanford Dart last week that sap ‘was running in a maple tree on the property of the South Congregation- al church.
