NO. 4. 9 WHAT'S GOING OINf I NEWS REVIEW OF CORRENTEVENTS Triumph of Hughes in Pan American Conference? Klan Drops Maslu By EDWARD W. PICKARD CHARLES EVANS HUGHES and his fellow delegates to the Pan American conference, hare returned from Havana covered with glory, for they?and especially Mr. Hughes?ob ? tained from the gathering practically everything that their government wanfed. and the troublesome question of American Intervention was post poned for Ave years with small chances that It will then be revived In the form It took at Havana. Probably the swat beneficial result attained was the removal of mlssnderstanding among Americas countries. Just be fore the conference cloned Mr. Hughes by a brilliant speech brought Into line with the United States all the dele gates except Doctor Pneyrredon of - Argentina, who had been forced to ensign, and Gustavo Guerrero of Sal vador, who utterly lost bis fight against intervention. The accomplishments of the con ference Include: Establishment of the principle of compulsory arbitration for the settle ment of Inter-American disputes, ex cept those pertaining to the sorereign ?' ty and Independence of nations In purely domestic problems. A Pan-American union convention, placing that body on a permanent ba sis and permitting (the members to have special representatives on the governing board Instead of diplomats regularly accredited to Washington. A treaty on the rights and duties of neutrals in event of war. A commercial aviation convention spen to the signature of all countries. A treaty placing aliens abroad on the same footing as nationals. . A, treaty establishing the right of asylum, to which the United States entered formal reservation. A treaty providing for International co-operation for the suppression and prevention of revolutions In each oth er's territories. ? Adoption of a Pan-American sani tary code. A convention on maritime neutral ity, the UnHcd -Mates entering a res ervation to the disuses forbidding the arming of merchantmen for defense la timt of war. A code of private International law dealing with the judicial status - of persons, marriage and divorce. The United States declined to participate m constitutional grounds. SUBJECTED to determined attacks, direct and Indirect, In many lo calities, the Kn Kim klan has dropped Its mask and changed Its name. An edict leaned by Hiram W. Evans of Atlanta, Imperial wlsnrd, tend: "After midnight February 22 It srOl fee unlawful far any klansman to ?ear any auk or risor as pert of his regalia, and aay klansman who shall fee unavoidably absent from the meet lag to ie held February 22 shall as aeap thereafter as possible attend a regular meeting and there become a merntiM of the Knights of the Great Bmnltaneoos ceremonies were held la _ every "klavern" and It was im pressed on the members that the or der hencforth has no political ambl ttoos tor Itself or for Its members. It was announced that "in the main \ there Is to. be no change from the or dinary vast own of the klaa. Klans mcs Ignoring the edict will suffer pan WnDrat" Attorney General Arthur GOllom of Indiana asserted that be would pro ceed wtth bis salt to hatf the klaa declared bankrupt and to hare Its offi cials restrained from further activi ties b that state. SENATOR JIM REED of Iflaaour! b his pre-eon vent ion specking bur which opened at Dallas, Texas, Monday. Is living up to expectations b that he b seeking to minimise or USCWI i m altogether the lauue of pro Mtttieo. His sligan Is "Tun the SUOrshi out" and he pnnm? ?" keep the federal power within constitu tional limits, to abolish government by boards and bureaus, to equalise the hardens of taxation, to repeal all &wa creating special privileges, and dismiss the "vast army of spies, snoopers, sneaks and informers." It is generally agreed that efforts to suppress prohibition as an issue will fall, perhaps in both the Democratic and the Republican conventions. The leaders of dry organizations were pre paring for a conference February 28 at which plans were to be laid to force both parties to Include diw planks in their platforms, and the wets will be correspondingly deter mined, especially the Democratic suit porters of A1 Smith, who has made his position fairly clear. There is even some talk of again putting forward William Gibbs MrAdoo as S dry Dem ocratic candidate, despite his re nouncement of that ambition. Anti Smith activity in the South seemed to be increasing, despite the fact that Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York was down there admittedly fostering sentiment In favor of the governor. In the Northwest Smith was gaining many friends, especially after winning in the Sooth Dakota caucuses. Ohio primaries afe a matter of prime interest to the Republican lead ers, and there, too, the prohibition question raises its head in the contest between Hoover and Willis. The state Anti-Saloon league seemed to be in a quandary, since It has always hereto fore Indorsed Willis and yet probably does not wish to be put in tbe posi tion of classing Hoover as a wet. The Mississippi valley Southern states were keenly Interested In the stand Hoover would take before the senate committee considering flood control legislation. Replying to the Borah quiz,, Mr. Hoover in rather platitndinons phrases declares himself a dry and calls the ? Eighteenth amendment a "great social an^ economic experiment." The gossip In Washington was that Secretary of the Treasury Mel ion, Charles D. Hilles and William M. But ler would form a "big three" combi nation that might dictate the selec tion of the Republican candidate. It Is believed they will respectively con trol nnlnstrncted delegations from Pennsylvania, New York and Massa chusetts, the total being 208 delegates, or nearly one-fifth of the number in the Kansas City convention. *. i UNLESS his appeal la successful, Harry F. Sinclair, the oil mag nate. will hare to spend six months In Jail. Justice Siddons of the- District of Colombia Supreme court found him and three associates guilty of criminal contempt, sustaining charges against them involving them in obstruction of Justice by Jury shadowing In the Tea pot Dome conspiracy trial of last falL Justice Siddons, besides giving Sin clair the Jail term, sentenced Henry liason Day to four months in Jail, William J. Burns to 15 days In Jail and W. Sherman Burns to pay a fine of *1,000. ^Justice Bailey of the same court up held the right of the senate to arrest Robert W. Stewart of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana for refusal to answer questions. Thp senate oil committee, la Its ef forts to determine bow much of the Continental Trading company's *3, 080,000 profits found Its way to the Republican national committee, ques tioned a number of bankers from va rious cities. The committee bad al ready found that at least *75.000 of the Liberty bonds involved was nsed to pay off a note of the Republican party at the Empire Trust company in New Tork. Great Britain sprung a sur prise at the opening session of the security commission of the League of Nations la Geneva. Lord Cushen den, who an receded Lord Cecil In the league, told the delegates the British government would support the Fin nish proposal calling for financial rap port for nations attacked without provocation, believing that to be ooe of the most practical ways to prevent war. Caabenden also Indorsed "the application af the Locarno treaties la other arena." In both Instances this was a complete change of front by the British. Boris Btein. the Russian ob server, submitted the soviet govern ment's plan for disarming the world by sinking navies; disbanding armies and destroying airplanes and mtml I tions within a period of four years. In place of the League of Nations the sovieta propose that all international relations shall be controlled by per manent commissions which would en force their decisions through a spe cial land and water poHce service, by "nonmilitary pressure." For Internal protection each nation would be al lowed a small police force carefully restricted as to armament. The so viet plan Is long and exhaustive and the security commission found It could not be dismissed without consideration. Lieutenant commander bat LISS of the destroyer Paulding and Lieutenant Commander R. K. Jones of the submarine S-4, the lat ter of whom lost his life In the col lision of the two vessels, were held Jointly responsible for the disaster by the naval court of Inquiry. The court also found that Rear Admiral Frank M. Brumby, commander of the coutro) force. Including all submarines on the Atlantic, had failed to contribute "the sound Judgment and Intelligent guid ance expected from an officer of his experience," during the time be was In full charge of salvage operations. Therefore, It recommended that Ad miral Brumby be detached from com mand of the control force. The court's principal findings pro voked so much criticism that Secre tary of the Navy Wilbur ordered the court reconvened for "the purpose of setting forth with completeness Its reasons on which the opinions and recommendations as to the two com manding officers and Admiral Brumby are based." Until the court's final report Is submitted Secretary Wilbur will not take any action. BERT HINKLER, Australian avia tor, completed bis solo flight from England to Australia In a light plana with folding wings. In 15 days. His expenses. Including food, fuel and ac commodations, were only $250, or ' about Z cents a mile. Hlnkler estab lished five new records, and Robert Home, former chancellor of the ex chequer, declared his flight "out classed Colonel Lindbergh's achieve ment." Lindbergh helped boost the air mail service by leading a squadron of mall planes from St. Louis to Chicago, changing planes several times ea route. The amount of mail carried by the planes broke all records. The colonel then flew to Detroit, where It was reported that he and Msjot Lamphler, flight commander at Self ridge field, might become connected with a new air transportation project between New York and Chicago, w*th Ithaca. Buffalo and Detroit as termi nals. The rumor was not verified. MU8SOLINT8 aew electoral law was approved by the Itallaa council of mlqjvters. It abolishes the party system, disestablishes the detw ocratlc basis of law making and re duces the chamber of deputies to a consultory body of experts without political functions. The law will be come operative as soon as It la rati fied by the present chamber.

This was bow things stood when Uncle Cal took a hand. "Ill brine them two tarnal fools to ret her er bust my so spenders. Thar's Jane wasting all ber pnrtlnees on longings over tbat silent sap-bead.

As she came timidly from the house Austin awkwardly dived for his cap and Jerked nut: "Horning. Hiss Ferrln." Blushing furiously, she shyly re plied with downcast eyes: "Horning Mr. Langdon."
