SANDIND SSUES " DERL O VANKEES Says He'd Gladly Fight Ameri- can Marines Managus, Nicaragua, Feb. 10 UP ~—General Augustino Sandino, rebel loader, has defied the American marines to join battle with him. Writing to the chief Nicaraguan authorities in the Matagalpa district, Bandino sald he would be delighted to met the marines in the hills around Matagalpa when blood will flow. He protested against the “cowardly actions of the marine” in Nueva Segovia. This criticiam was ® thought to be in objection to the marines’ extensive bombing opera- = tions from airplanes which had ) made several strongholds of the rebels in the Nueva Segovia district untenable. Various advices received here to- day placed the number of men un- der Sandino from 100 to 600. Some lines of communication be- tween Managua and Matagalpa were cut. It was suggested that this was - done by Bandino, who is not anxious to have his whereabouts definitely known. The litest advices received here, however, sald the rebel leader was i{ in Cuatro Esquinas, a small village southeast of Matagalpa. In the last few days he has worked from north- west to Matagalpa, which is the center of a rich coffce growing dis- trict, toward the soutii. He is per- fectly familiar with the topography of that district having joined Gen- eral Moncada in that section almost & year ago when Moncada was head of the liberal forces warring against | the conservative Diaz government. These advices place the number | of Sandino followers at 200. They are mounted on fast horses and travel at night in order to evade | scouting planes hovering over the | district daily. ¢ Flyers who returned from Mata- galpa yesterday said they had not , sten Sandino. This strengthened the belief that he gets under heavy cover during the day. The rebel leader is thought to be headed for Muy Muy, about 30 miles to the south of Matagalpa and near the Rio Grande, Foreigners arriving from Matagal- pa sald the recent arrival of S8andino near there caused anxiety because he was belleved to have 600 men with him. At that time there were only 50 marines in Matagalpa, but today there are more than 250 and it is believed this insures ample pro- tection. Marine patrols occupled San Ra- fael Del Norte, northwest of Mata- salpa, fandino was there last Sat- urday according to Carleton Beal representative of the *Nation,” weekly magazine published in Ne: York. Beals, who arrived here, said he had spent five hours with San- dino. Beals asserted S8andino had about 100 well-armed and mounted fol- lowers and claimed to have 30 ma- chine guns. Beals came Into Nic- aragna from Honduras travelling through Nueva Segovia, acene of the most severe battles between marines park. In front of the pavilion the statue of Jose Marti, the er of Cuban freedom. Among the flow- er beds, statues, laurel trees of the park people gathered early to see Lindbergh recelve the keys to the city of Havana.

Lowly Doughnut Now Becomes Fashionable Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 10 (F— The lowly doughnut has come into its own in fashionable Palm®Beach society and is enjoying a great popu- larity. Hostesses are including the doughnut in afternoon tea menus. A good size, which means past the dainty measurement, dropped in hot fat, cooked to honey beige color and then sprinkled generously with sugar, the doughnut is especially popular with men guests. Explanation of the doughnut's success among the wealthy is found in the fact one gets weary of the complicated dishes continually served. Another favorite dish is offered at current country breakfast parties—tried apples with sausage. —_— PARKING BAN OPPOSED Cleveland, 0., Feb. 10.—(UP)—A. proposed plan for eliminating down- town parking has met the opposition of many business men here.

Patrolmen Timothy Halley and Arthur Ljunberg, who reached the scene at about the same time the first apparatus arrived, learned that Callahan was in a room on the sec- ond floor. They made an ineffectual effort to work their way through the amoke but a moment later were Jjoined by Lieut. Dunphy, of Ladder 3.

(M—Human sacrifice was, at one stage at least, part of the awe-inapiring ritual practiced by the Mayan priests who dominated the highest civilization known to have existed on this continent prior to the arrival of Columbus. Evidence of this practice, which likewise marks the early history of religions originating on the other side of the world, was discovered by archaeologists of the Carnegie Institution of Washington during the last field season of their work, under the direction of Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, at Uaxactun, the Ol4 Empire city of the Mayana, in Pe- ten, Guatemala. The Mayans were settling in that city about the time Christ was crucified. A skull, buried in 2 bowl and eov. ered with another bowl, was found under the sanctuary floor immedi- ately south of the altar in each of three temples which, with a pyra- mid, formed a huge sun-dial which marked the changes of the sea- sons. The archaelogists also un- covered many bat skeletons be- neath the sanctuary of one of the temples and two obsidian knives with which they probably were sac- rificed to appease the wrath or gain the favor of some deity, BOBSLEDS LOCKED UP Runners Are Under Key in St. Moritz—U. 8.

John Heaton, a New Yorker, was victor with his sled “Hell.” Lambert of Belgium was next and William Fiske of Chicago, third. Fiske calls his vehicle “Satan.” After the derby, Lambert charged that some one had tampered with his sled making a last minute re. adjustment necessary. All the sleds were forthwith placed in locked sheds. The Olymple championship for the event will be held on Feb- ruary 17. Heaton's aggregate time for the four trips was six minutes, 22 9-10 seconds.
