/ PLANNED New York, Feb. 3 (UP)—Forma- tion of one of th. world's largest shipping companies thfough consol- idation of three American lines was rcgarded in shipping circles today as 2 possibility of the mear futare. The three lines concerned in the speculation were the United "States lines, the American Merchant line and the Munson Fleet. . . Consolidation of the three con- cerns, if accomplished, would give the United States a shipping organi- zation that would compete with the Ereatest of the world's. lines since they would be capable of carrying on a more trade than unm- der separate operation. The merger report centers around a bid of $16,082,000 by the banking firm of P W. Chapman & Co. for the American Merchant line and the United States lne. T. V. O'Connor, 'Y chairman of_the United States ship- ping board, present operators of the lines, was here yesterday for confer- ences on the matter.

Officer O'Day testificd that he watched through a partition about 11:45 the night of January 22 and saw Lugli serve a man & highball. ‘The man had a bottle of beer before him at the time and the officer could hear the cash register being rung, “although he could not see the money being put in or change being made. He has seen men coming out of the place under the influence of liquor and has smelled liquor off at least one man on coming out late at night. Lugli, who was reprcsented by Attorney Lawrence J. Golon, testi- fied that ho took over the place on January 21 from Stucka, paying him $25 as a deposit with the un- derstanding that he would pay something later, but the exact pur- chase price has not been agreed upon. He frankly admitted that his purpose in conducting the club was to run a gambling den, and he did so while he had the place, but he never sold liquor there, and the only reason he sold beer was that there were about 39 bottles on the prem- ises when he took it and he decided to dispose of them. He said he told Sergeant Feeney ha charged 10 cents mather than 15 cents per bot- tle, and he made no profit at that .4 vrice. Relative to selling a highball as Officer O'Day testified, Lugli sald it was mot so, and the officer must have seen him selling a bottle of beer. Cross examined by Prosecuting Attorney Woods as to his source of livelihood prior to taking over the club, Lugli said he had been in Tlainville clearing away brush en his uncle’s pig farm. Mr. Woods ex- amined Lugli's hands and declared that they had none of the appear- ances of having been used in man- ual labor. The bottle and glasses with traces of liguor in them Were on the prem- ises’ when he took over the club, Lugli said, and he never used them. ‘When the charge of being a second offender was read to him after Judge Mangan made his finding of suilty, Lugli pleaded not guilty, say- ing he admitted his guilt on Keb- ru; 7, 1927, when he received his first conviction, “but,” he asserted, “this 1s one time I did not sell any liquor.” - OUTBURST IN SPAIN PROVES REAL THREAT (Continued from Virst Page) ’ v » judge has been designated to take summary action and .he verdict of the law will be complied with. ““The light artillery regiment has been dissolved and has deposited Jia standard, darkened by traitors to the faith who swore they would honor it.” Advices from Hendaye, on the| nco-Spanish frontier, yesterday said the revolt plot was hatched at a dinner in Paris on January 3, at which Dr. Maranon, former physi- cian to tho royal family, General l.ojez Ochoa and Rafael Sanchez Guerra, former premier, were pres- ent.

The foreign minister expressed the ‘opinion that the Kellogg pact did not conflict with the constitu- tion of the league of nations nor with the Locarno pact. On the con- trary, he said, the pact “is calculat- ed to strengthen the basic principles of those agrecments." The foreign minister then assert- ed that Germany's quick and de- cisive reply and ‘her later attitude helped lead to developments which culminated in the signing of the fact. “I must oppose the interpreta- tion that the diplomatic negotiations preceding the signature robbed the pact of part of its effectivencss,” he continued. “They were, in the last analysis, proofs that the govern- ments involved did not merely re- gard the American proposal as & gesture and a demonstration, but as a binding &ct fraught with conse- quences, “If there is a certain skepticism in the world as to the practical value of the Kellogg pact,” he added, “this akepticism in Germany is not founded on the lack of yearning for, and the will to peace, but on the fact that the German people look In vain for actions such as disarm ment which should necessarily re- sult from the adoption of the pact. “Not only must this new peace guarantee give an effective impulse 4 necessary corollary to the re- nunciation of war, those possibilities must be found which are calculated to settle by peaceful and just means the existing and threatening con- flicts of national interests.

At this point the Communists interrupted, shouting: “Hypocrisy!

This was confirmed by R. H. Angell, republi- ! can state chairman, who said he be lieved republican leaders could work out a program for consolidation of forces with the “Hoover democrats.” Dunning, chairman of the secom) Virginia district delegation to the “anti-8mith” conference, made i clear that he acted on his own initia tive in sending queries to Raskob, Roowevelt and Byrd. N Want Resignation He indicated, however. that he ex- pected a demand to be made at th Lynchburg conference for the resig- nation of Mr. Raskob, and said that action might be taken on the other| telegrams. Mr. Dunning's telegram to Mr. Raskob asked the latter it he would resign his post in the intcrests of harmony in the democratic party tn the south.

Angell confirmed this “Certainly, I think"we can get to- ‘zcther with them,” Angell said re | terring to the “Hoover democrats, “as a matter of political expediency it wouldn't be any use for us to put up some one not satisfactory | them, and I don’t see how they could | hope to successfully advance a can- | didate unsatisfactory to us.” LEGION APPROVES REMOVAL OF ARCH Informs Mayor Gourt of Honor Should Come Down Mayor Paonessa today received a letter from Eddy-Glover post, Amer- ican Legion, registering the legion- aires’ sentiment in favor of remov- ng the temporary arch and court of | honor at Walnut Hill park.

HUGHES SCORES COLLEGE STUDENTS Says College Activitis Are Detriment to Education Boston, Feb. 2 M—Collegiate ac- tivities are emphasized by many college students today to the detri- ment of true education, in the upin- ion of forimner Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes. Mr. Hughes spoke at a Brown University alumni dinner here last night and paid high tribute to the retiring president of university, W, H. P. Faunce, before launching into a discussion of edu- cationa! problems. Hughes was graduated from Brown in 1881. “Coltege activities,” he said, “lend but small encouragement to the cultural processes of quiet and re- flection. Large numbers of stu- dents with little appreciation of the true advantages of the college tend to conventionalize habits and put upon those who would have higher aims the course of eccentricity. “Personally I think that the disci- pline of life outside would be much better for many who are in college than the laxity induced by certain college associations.” Referring to the man who barely passes in his studics and shows a0 interest in intellectual pursuits, Mr. Hughes =aid: “I should take him out at once and tell him to make his own way. It should not be for- gotten that the college is an educa- tional institution, not a mere social club with certain despised require- ments, Those who are not disposed to make good use of the college years would be better off elscwhere.” Mr. Hughes, after speaking briefly of former presidents of Brown, said of President Faunce: “With the opening of the 20th century came the master builder, who has fitted Brown to her unprecedented tasks and enabled the old university to hold an honored place in the edu- cational world.” President Faunce, who was a class ahead of the former secretary of state at Brown, replied by recalling: “We roomed together. I lived on the third floor and he on the first. ¥or three years I looked down on him. For 30 years I have looked up to him.” Aged Benefactress, Lady Carnarvon, Dead London, Feb, 2 M—The death is announced from Portofino of the aged Elizabeth Lady Carnarvon who made her home in Albania for many years where she was widely known as a benefactress. She was the second wife of the late fourth Earl of Carnarvon and was the step-grundmother of the present sixth earl. | _ Suggestions that Lady Carnarvon's death completed the trilogy of fa- tality prophesied as the penalty for entering the tomb of King Tut- Ankh-Amen in Egypt, were scouted in London where it was pointed out that the widow of the late Lord Carnarvon, who opened the tomb, is still alive, as is the young Lord Carnarvon, his wife and family, ATTENDANCE RECORD Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2 (P—The University of Nebraska football team in 1928 for Cornhusker gridiron at- tractions, playing to 144,47¢ pald admissions.
