* ARRESTED CUBANS DENY REVOLT PLAN Call Charges Pure Faniasy— Machado Called Tmperiatitic Havana, March 1 ®—While Cu- ban government leaders today de- clared a plot against the life of President Machado had been frus- trated by drastic police action those accused insisted the charges against them were purest fantasy. . In a statement to the press, Pres- ident Machado said: “There is now no cause for alarm, and there will be no cause for alarm, because public reaction, which is thoroughly in accord with my government, guarantees the peace of the country. “I entertain the utmost confi- dence in the rectitude of the tri- bunals rhich have this case in hand and can assure the public that the law will be applied to it without passion or prejudice of any kind.” Dr. Alejandro Vergear Y Leonard, one of 10 men arrested Wednesday night at the headquarters of “Union Nacionalista,” the only political or- ganization opposed to President Machado, denied emphatically the charge of fomenting revolt. Denics Plot Against Machado *“There is no truth that a plot ex- isted against the life of President Machado. Nor is there any more truth to the charge that a revolt was planned for the purpose of bringing American intervention in Cuba,” he said. “I knew 1 was to be arrested on serious charges and so two days ago I informed the United States embassy here of the movement of the government. My sworn statement is at the embassy at this time” he added. The embassy later confirmed this. The 10 men arrested are still con- fined in the Principe Fortress. The remainder of the warrants issued have not been served, most of the persons named being exiles in the United States or elsewhere. There was a general tendency here to view the situation as one of poli- tics rather than threatening physi- cal harm. Police action, it was thought, represented a drive to stamp out distribution of inflamma- tory pamphlets and propaganda aimed at the Machado regime. Charges Fraud In New York, Octavio Beigle, named in one of the Havana war- rants and himself an exile in the United States since last October, an- swered the accusations against him with charges of fraud and imperial- ism against the Machado regime. Seigle, who was the founder of the #“Union Nacionalista” sald in part: “Shortly before the Pan-American conference a labor leader named Claudio Bruzon disappeared. In Havana it is a standing comment that whenever & person disappears he has been taken across Havana and fed to the sharks from Cabanas fortress. “Shortly after his disappearance a shark was caught in the bay with the arm of @ man in its stomch. This produced ertough of a sensation but this was heightened when the widow of the labor arm as that of her husband by & cuff link on a scrap of a shirt sleeve attached. Testimony of several others supported the identification, Nothing was ever done except that a week later Machado in an official decree forbade further fishing for -hlrlsn in Havana bay. “Sometme later after that the body of another labor leader, Yacob, who disappeared, was found in the bay, weighted so it would sink, and partially eaten by sharka.” He sald Secretary Kellogg knew of | the state of affalrs but had taken no action. 11 Arrested in Boston Linked With Car Thefts Boston, March 1 (M—Eight men and three women were taken into custody by police last night in con. nection with investigation of a se- ries of robberies and automobile thefts here recently. Recovery of several stolen auto- moblles gave police clues which led to the roundup of the group in e house in the south end. One of the men was arrested after a chase in which police fired several shots. All were held as suspicions per- sons. Police believed that the girls were merely friends of the men and rot connected with the robberies. leader identified the | STUDENTS 10 “BUN" : WAY THROUGH EUROPE e Professors (o Accompany California Youths on Unique Tour of the Coutinent Los Angeles, March 1 —A group of students and two professors of the University of Southern Califor- nia will “hitch-hike” a vagabond way through Europe this summer studying and sketching classica of anclent, renaissance and modern architecture, Forty-five students, led by Dean| A, C.

Tipton, Jacksonville police- woman, who has made a study of women auto owners. “The woman at the wheel feels that she is entitled to certain privi- | leges, traffic lawa or no traffic laws and she's going to have them.” Mra. Tipton explains. “Thet is the | cause of & high percentage of traf- | fic muddles. “Part of the trouble may be at- tributed to some women's extreme nervousness and timidity In traffic. | Part of it is due to poor judgment, but the major part is just a deter- mined insistence on having their own | way. They cut corners, they ignore traffic lights and they make pedes- trians jump, They insist on their | ‘privileges.’ " | The feminine driver puts out an arm. It may be a left turn; it may be | a right turn or a stop signal. Per- haps she is waving to & friend on the | sidewalk or merely flicking ashes | from a cigaret, but the fellow be- | hind cannot tell, Mra, Tipton insists. There is, however, & word of cheer for the subjects of Mrs. Tip- ton's comment. She points out that, while women are prone to fray the nerves of the masculine driver, the | majority of serious motor accidents | are laid to the male autoist. “Only about 16 per cent of the | automoblle fatalities involve women drivers,” she says. “That is not a serious reflection on my aistess.” | GLADEE IS DEAF | | Loubet, Former French President, Rebukes Flowery Oratory on 90th Birthday Anniversary.
