Those who spoke in behalf of the general were Willlam A. Jowitt, at- torney, who had been refused per- mission to represent the general’ interests at the recent adjudication; J. A. Pollard, the army's chancellor of the exchequer 25 years ago, and Maurice Whitlow, now a newspaper man. Both Pollard and Whitiow, as for- mer officials of the army, had been called as witnesses in the new ad- Jjudication proceedings. The presence of two lawyers rep- resenting the high council at today's session was the ground for objec- tion by the general's representa- tives who contended that the mem- bers of the high council were not defendants, but judges, and there- fore needed no attorneys present.

Despite the absolute secrecy sur- rounding his arrival, the Assoclated Press was amured from an official source that he was aboard the soviet ship 1llitch, which arrived in Con- stantinople last evening. Under Another Name . The noted communist, who played 50 large a part in the establishment lof the communist government in Russia with Lenin, was traveling under an assumed name, and it was hours before it could be definitely assured from the official source that he was on the ship. The Illitch remained in the har- |bor some distance from the quay and Trotzky today was being kept |under close guard. There are more {than 2,000 white Russians, refugees |from Russia, who live in Constanti- gnople. and the possibility that one of these might seek revenge upon Trotzky caused these precautions. It is probable that Trotzky will be placed tonight upon a train leav- ing. from the Asiatic side for An- gora, now the capital of Turkey. Clears Up Mystery The arrival of Leon Trotzky in Constantinople clears up the mys- {tery of his whereabouts which has {been puzzling Europe for almost a imonth.

ASSASSINS FAIL IN ATTACK UPON GOMEZ Six Men Die Trying to Kill President of Venezuela Bogota, Colombia, Feb. 13 (P—A circumstantial account of an at- tempt to assassinate President Juan Vicente Gomez of Venezuela was telegraphed here today by a news- Paper correspondent at San Jose De {Cucuta, a Venezuelan frontier town. The message said the president es- caped harm. The story related that President Gomez, accompanied by an escort, was riding in his automobile in the cnvirdns of Maracay, a suburb of Caracas, capital of Venezuela. Bix men opened fire on he car, but the escort returned the shots in the tignt. The reported attempt to assassin. ate President Gomez of Veneziwia ;18 the second recent rumor of dis- [turbed conditions in that country to come from an outside source. On Monday night Havana heard that General Arevalo Cedeno had pro- claimed an armed revolt against the Gomez administration. He was said to be advancing on Caracas with 500 troops. This report had its inception with Laguado Jayme who said he was a representative of Cedeno in Cuba and that he had reccived a code message revealing the start of the irevolt. Jayme gave out a proclama- tion mailed to him in advance by Cedeno in which the latter was quoted as saying that he wsought “liberation and a complete puaran tee of security for oppressed Vene- suelans.” * | future. iand all the conspirators were killed | PRESIDENT SIGNS CRUISER NEASURE Goolidge Approves Nawal Bill Dl T o CALLS FOR 16 WARSHIPS Executive Signature is Fixed After Conference With Congress Leaders ~—Last Major Legislative Project of His Administration, ‘Washington, Feb. 13 (P—Presi- dent Coolidge today signed the na- val building bill calling tor the con- struction of fifteen crulsers and one ‘aircraft carrier, The president’s approval was giv- en in spite of the measures clausc requiring that all the vessels be laid down by July 1, 1931, which he had opposed. His opposition to this pro- vision was based on the view that it called for expenditures at future dates with no advance knowledge as to the condition of the treasury when they would be made, World In addition to providing for the construction of the vessels, the measure calls for an international agreement eatablishing the rights of neutrals at sea in time of war, un- der an amendment sponsored by Chairman Borah of the foreign re- lations committee and Senator Reed of Missouri. The president affixed his signature to the measure, tke last major leg- islative project of his administra- tion, a few minutes after he had conferred with congressional leaders on expenditures which must be made under it, Those present were Senators Cur- tis and Robinson, majority and mi- nority leaders of the senate; Chalir- man Hale of the se¢nate naval com- mittee; Speaker Longworth, Repre- sentatives Tilson and Garrett, re- publican and democratic lcaders of the house, and Chairman S8nell of the house rules committee, No Special Ceremony Less than ten minutes after the meeting had dispersed, Mr. Coolidge approved the bill without ceremony.

Vienna, Feb. 13 (A—Gypsies, and other persons with inadequate shelter against the Arctic frigidity of the cold snap that has held central | Europe and the Balkans in its Erip for several days, are perishing in groups of from six to 34 each. Reports today from various sec- tions of the afflicted district told of 85 gypsies frozen to death in their tents, families of 10 and 12 peasants perishing in unhcated huts and of a band of six smugglers who succum- bed near Innsbruck, Austria. The gypsies were especially hard hit. A band of 21 died near Ljub- | ljana in the Slovenian district of | Jugoslavia when their tents were panied a héavy snowstorm. Thirty other gypsies went to sleep in tents at Uzhorod, Czechoslovakia, and rever awakened. At Janow, near the Austrian-Polish frontier, 34 gypsics were frozen to death in their rick- ety caravans, At Buzeu, Rymania, 12 peasants succumbed to the cold and another family of 10 were found frozen to death in a thatched hut near Cam- pini, Rumania.

The fliers, Lieut. Johnson and Captain A. W.

C. C Camplon, of the United States navy. No record was claimed because rules f the Federation Aeronautique In- ernational prescribe that the plane land at the fleld from which it left the earth.

Senator Peasley told the upper body that his committee had felt ‘flm time had not arrived for the |repeal of the present law, though he himself was favorable inclined |toward such action.

The charge was made following an address by Rev.

Miss Greta Brown, librarian, and Marcus White, board of directors, held a confer- ence last evening and decided that the public, or that part of it which uses the library, will not gain any the at- tacks yesterday and for that reason no statement will be issued. It is understood that the library officials in their conferences as- sumed the attitude that the library is for the benefit of all the people and, while no books frankly inde. cent are welcomed on its shelves, there is no tendency to ape the city of Boston and erect barriers dictated by the prejudices of indi- viduals.
