UALL CONMITTEE T0 BREAK INPASSE SubBoard of Pan-American Union to Meet T \ Havana, Feb. 9 P—In an effort to break a deadlock between lhe' United States and Argentina, the sub-committee on the Pan-American Union was summoned to meet to- day. This deadlock in the deliberations of the Pan-American congreas arose over Argentina's insistence that the unon be granted authority to investi- * gate the application of tariffs in in- ter-American trade. After three hours of discussion, the United Statea had not altered it opposition to this | nor Argentina its demand. The apparent determination of Charles Evans Hughes, chairman of the United States delegation, and Honorio Pueyrredon, head of the Argentine delzgaticn, their positions led delegates to spec- ulate as to the posaibility of break- ing the impasse. Lower Tariff. Ambassador Pueyrredon a fort- night ago demaaded that the union be empowered to study means for lowering excessive tariff barriers to inter-American commerce. He was understood to have maintained at a meeting of the sub-comumittee yes- terday that it was neceasary for Pan-Americanism to assume a con- crete economic form tending to re- move all obatacles to the free flow of commerce. He was reprosented as having em- phasized the difference between du- ties imposad by American nations and European nations, contending that the American states, bound by the brotherhood of Pan-American- 4sm, should not harm the economic interests of sister republics for selfish gain. “When I stretch forth the hand ot fellowship,” Ambassador Pueyr- redon was quoted as having sald, “T stretch forth an open hand not a clenched flst.” In Contradiction. Such a declaration as Argentina demanded, Mr, Hughes was under. stood to have sald, would be in con- tradiction of the declaration of the full soverelgnty of American states, which is contained in the preamble of the Pan-American Union conven- tion. It was this preamble that the Argentine ambassador sought to amend. The committec on public inter- national law again had before it for consideration the report of Dr. Vie- tor Maurtua, Peru, on the funda- mental basis of international law. The section before the committee to- day, however, contained much 'ess controversial matter than that dis- cussed Saturday, when a storm of denunciation on interventionist poli- cies by various delegates contained pointed allusions to American acti- vities of this kind in the paat. Today's section proposed a decla- ration by alt American governments on the definitions and rules of ap- plieation of international law to give precision and permanency to certain definitions and general rules which up to the presant have been simply matters of international dcctrine and practice. The draft sald the field of inter- national law covered not only the rights and duties of states but also the rights and duties of the nation- als of the different countries among themaelves and with other states. It declared it was necessary that internal .legislation of all countries conform with tha principles of inter- national law and the obligation oL all states to apply this in matter per- taining to their this were part of legislation. In general, Dr. Mnnr%m’- report, their internal proposed that the applicgtion of in- ternational law be guidéd by those general principles or precepts of justice deduced fiom existing law and from axioms of reason and jus- cgnizes as the necessary law to maintain relations between states, SUSPENSION IS LIKELY |Soft Coal Mine Competitive District Facing Shutdown by the First of April. Chicago, Feb. § UP—Another sus- { pension of bituminous coal mining in |the central competitive district by April 1 was the gloomy outlook of |operators and miners today, unless |ences have more success than those | just concluded. The final meeting of the joint commission of miners and operators yesterday resulted in a deadlock, further except on a plan of arbitra- tion. The miners asked that the conference be continued until their international president, John L. Lewis, could reach here. Operators insisted upon a wage {reduction that would enable them to compete with non-union mines of Kentucky and West Virginia. The miners refused to budge from the present contract with a scale of $7.50 a day or $1.08 a ton' on a weight basis. A counter proposal of $6 per day and 84 cents a ton was rejected. The threatened suspension April 1 would be a resumption of that which started April 1, 1927 over the same differences. A tempordry agreement, signed in September, with the Jack. sonville scale in effect, automatically terminates April 1. ROUND UP BAD MEN Detroit Police Out in Force After Another Man is Killed in Deadly Feud. Detroit, Feb. 9 (—Another death by bullets in the feud between ex- tortionists and rum smugglers has started police on a general roundup of bad men. Floyd Beck, 33, whom police knew as a rum racketter, was caught in a volley of pistol shots last night as he and his brother, Roy, 30, were leaving a warchouse. Floyd was killed and his brother proabbly fat- ally wounded. The shots were fired {trom an automobile which drew alongside the Becks' machine. A police theory today was that the Becks, whose joint holdings have been estimated at half a millon dol- lars, were shot in retaliation for the | killing Tuesday of Policeman Vivian ‘Welch. Welch who was said by Po- lice Superintendent Sprott to have |been & member of an extortionist gang, was shot nine times.

BAKER (Professor of Astronomy, University of Illinois) Urbana, 1., Feb, 9.—M—The zodiacal light is most conspicuous at this time of the year. It may be seen in the west on any clear evening up to February 24, after twilight ends and the sky has become quite dark. At the beginning and end of the month it will be obscured by moon- light, and at wo time does it suc- cessfully compete with the glare of jartificial lights. The city dweller is likely to miss the sight entirely, un- |1ess he drives into the country after ! nightfall, The z¢diacal light is a triangular | glow, extending high up from the | western horizon and leaning mo- ticeably toward the south. At its base near the horizon it ia fully as wide and bright as the Milky Way. 8o gradually does this shaft of light fade into the dark sky that most people have never observed it. Any one whose attention is called to it sees the light easily enough and then wonders why he has not notic- ed it before. This is true of many in- | teresting sights in the skies. cause it extends along the zodiac, that band around the sky along which the sun seems to make its annual circuit.

The zodiacal light is sunlight re- flected from many small meteoric bodies, which whirl like planets around the sun nearly in the same plane as the earth’s orbit. Most of them, but not all, are nearer the sun than we are, The result is a faintly luminous disk, or concentric rings around the sun, ‘comparable in structure with the rings of Saturn. We see this disk nearly edgewise. One tip produces the zodlacal light in the evening; the ohter ‘gives & similar trisngular glow in the east before dawn, which is easiest to observe in September. To produce this {llumination of our skies the bodies need not be large or close together. Even if they are no larger than the head of a common pin, calculations show that they would average about five miles apart.

The admiralty in confirming the announcement stated that the four submersibles are part of the already announced 1927 construction pro- gram of six submarines. Contracts for the other two have been given other companies. Cologne, Feb. 9 M—The Gazette in granting that Secretary Kellogg's plan for scrapping submarines is ad- mirable in itself, contends that it would simply result in making strong powers mightier and small powers weaker. The paper suggests that it would be better if the United States gave proof of its goodwill “by scrapping her giant battleships and deciding to build no more.” POET TO TAKE REST Rome, Feb. 9 (M—A dispatch from Gardone to Il Measaggero says that Gabrielle D’Annunzio, Italian poet-soldier, who has been ill lately, has been ordered by his physicians to take a rest.
