19 HIGH FACTS 61VETJ BY BORAH Chairman of Senate Com- mittee Makes Testimony ' Public Yesterday WASHINGTON, March 3.- (AP). After a brief bat sharp ' flare-up today in the senate on the administration' policy in Nicar agua, Chairman Borah of the sen ate foreign relations committee made public the testimony given to that committee on Xicaraguan conditions last month by high naval officials. Secretary flbur. Rear Admiral Latimer, former commander of American naral forces in Nicara- snan waters'; Major General Le Jeune. commandant of the mar- iae corps, and Brigadier General Lane of the marine corps, furnish ed the3 testimony, giving In min ute details the whole eituation since American forces first were landed. The testimony contained little not already published as to polit leal conditions and battles, but members of the committee were highly interested in an opinion by General Lane that if the marines were withdrawn General Augns ttao Sandlno' would, march on Managua and take charge of the government. Withdrawal of the marines wa demanded by Senator Dill, demo crat, Washington, who engaged in a running battle on the floor of the senate with three republicans, Borah of Idaho; Shortridge of Cal ifornia, and Edge of New Jersey. Dill charged that the marines were sent in at the request of American concessionists in Nicar agua and denied that American property and lives were endangered. committee after the oil operator had leased Teapot Dome. Of this amount $160,000 ac tually was used to help extinguish the committee deficit resulting from the 1920 presidential cam paign, . which Hay directed as chairman of the national commit tee, the remaining 100.000 being returned to the wealthy oil oper ator. The transaction occurred In 1923 after the Continental Trading com pany of Canada had made its 3, 080.000 in profits and gone out of business, but Hays said, and Sen ator Walsh, democrat, Montana, agreed with him, that he knew nothing of the Continental at that time. When testifying before the same committee in 1924, the former cab inet officer and now a major fig ure in the moving picture indus try, placed Sinclair's contribution at $75,000 and on that point was sharply questioned by Senator Walsh and Senator Bratton, demo crat. New Mexico. He explained that the $75,000 was all he was asked about at that time and he did not volunteer in formation about the other because Weather and Your Buying Habits Rain Is the worst of al wea ther enemies to business.

Women shoppers are extremely superficial in a way; they do not consider what the weather will be tomorrow nearly so much as what it is today. Every smart mer chant knows that he can sell win ter goods in the spring so long as it is cold and snow is on the ground. The fact that the cal endar shows it to be spring rather than winter does hot matter at all; the weather Is the main thing. Let us assume that there is a belated spring.

Although he had retired as chair man of the party organization. Hays said he presonally solicited funds from Sinclair, among oth ers. The oil operator's personal con tribution toward the deficit was 1 75.00O, the witness testified, but he advanced $185,000 in Liberty bonds to be used by the committee in making a report to the country that the deficit had been wiped out in advance of the 1924 earn ing they backed away, giving the carpenter a chance to flee to the paign. REPUBIC1M EOT S2 BUD SUM Testimony Given By Will Hays At Senate Oil Com mittee Hearing GOLD SPOON TUB TO BRASS FOR LAD Four Year Old Child Now Faces Deportation Pro ceedings, Feared cold day for at least tlx months. they will still buy heavy coats, suits and furs. Reversing the conditions, If In the fall of the year It Is warm and sultry, but the women believe that tomorrow it will be freezing and stay that way all winter, they will not buy winter things until the weather changes. The deplorable feature of this, as the merchants look at It, is that the sale deferred too long is deferred forever. If it is a warm fall or a cold spring and stays that way for three or four weeks long er than usual, many decide that the season will soon be over, any way, and that they may as well make their old clothes do. A summer that Is cool until late In June is a great money , loser. Women will not buy while It Is cold, and when It does get warm they do not buy because they feel that the summer will not last much longer. WASHINGTON, Mar. 2. (AP) Will Hays, former postmaster : general testified before 'the sen ate oil committee that Harry F. Sinclair had handed him a total of $260,000 in liberty bonds for use by the republican national DETROIT, March 3. (AP). His "gold spoon" turned to brass by the .recent 'disclosure that he is not the grandson of Joseph Boyer, multimillionaire executive of the Burroughs Adding Machine company, . a four year old child who has borne the name of Jos. Boyer, II, now Is threatened with deportation from the United States an alien. The child was born In Canada i of humble parentage and, accord ing to her own admission, was I taken when a few hours old by Mrs. Myron L. Boyer, wife of the son of Jos. Boyer, and represent ed as her son. She did this she said, to "save her home." Now there ie a question as to whether the child was legally brought Into this country accord ing to John L. Zurbrick, district director of immigration. Zurbrick announced today he would ask Mrs. Boyer who now has the child to appear Monday with him before a special board of inquiry to determine whether the boy should be deported. As a further complication, Can adian authorities say they have been unable to .find any record of the child having been legally adopted byTtfrs. Boyer. Mrs. Boyer will make a fight to keep the child, she eald. Avowing her lore for the boy, she declared she desires to keep him and rear him even though she loses her home. The erstwhile "gold spoon" ba by was toppled from his heritage a few days ago when Myron Boy er began legal proceedings in Ingham county circuit court to disclaim and disinherit him as a result of his discovery that the child was not his own. LOST FLYERS FIND F 1 BACK ON W OTTAWA, March 3. (AP). Given np for dead by all but a few persistent comrades, two avi ators and an Eskimo guide who ble in the frozen wilds of the Arc tic Circle two weeks ago, were re ported safe yesterday. Brief messages from Port Bur well at Hudson Straits failed to give details but Indicated that the men had fought their own way back to civilization afoot through raging snowstorms. The aviators who were obtain ing data on winter weather con ditions In the Arctic Circle, are Pilot A. A. Lewis and Sergeant Terry of the northern air patrol. The Eskimo, a guide, is spoken of In official messages only as Bob bie. The story of the men's probable privations and undoubted bravery during their long fight for life is bracketed by two laconic mes sages. A few hours after the take-off from Port Burwell on February 17, Lewis wirelessed the base from an unknown position: "En gine cutting out. Am off course. Today, after two weeks that must have seemed an eternity to the three men lost In the icy wild erness and to their comrades who had refused to abandon the search for them, came the following from the officer in charge at Port Bur- well: "Airmen safe Port Burwell." ThA nther dav another one of those items about a woman rout ing bandits appeared in the day's news. To get right down to orass tacks, it Is believed almost any woman could rout a whole battal ion of Infantry if she made up her mind to It. Atchison Globe. There's something noisier than our foK horn.
