SANDINO IN HIDING
AFTER RAID THREAT
Rebel Leader Disappears
After Warning East
Coast Town.
the Pre*«.
MANAGUA. Nicaragua. April 27. —
Gen. Augustine Sandtno, rebel leader,
has disappeared into the jungle country
of northern Nicaragua after making
threats to raid Puerto Cabezas tßrang
rr.ans Bluff? on the east coast
There are 4.000 Nicaraguan laborers
at Puerto Cab eras and ihe east coast
in general is understood to be sym
pathetic with the Sandino cause. There
, have also been tales of discharged
| laborers Joining the insurgent move
ment.
• Despite this, mast of the 500 Ameri
cans at Puerto Cabezas, employed by
the Standard Fruit & Steamship Co.
, and the Brangman Bluff Lumber Co.,
regarded the rebel threat as a bluff.
Presence of a large garrison of Ameri
can Marines and an American gun
boat there reassured them.
Marshall's Note In Doubt.
With the disappearance of Sandino
the fate of George B. Marshall of New
York, who was seized by Gen. Giron, a
Sandino officer, became more of a
mystery today. Giron, who left La Lust
y Los Angeles Mine on April 13. after
seizing the American and looting La Lur
and neighboring mines, said he would
join other rebel bands in the Pis Pis
mining district. 20 miles away. An
undated note from Marshall said he was
being accorded fair treatment.
Marine brigade headquarters an
nounced today that an air squadron fly
ing over the Pis Pis region on Wednes
day found no evidence of rebels in the
district.
Conditions Normal.
At Ulucwas, an Indian village, they
found the population hidden, but at
other points conditions were normal.

Maj. Ross E. Powell, in charge of the

1 only one hut was seen, which was the
only sign of habitation.”

reduction of 20 cents a ton on. lake

LOREE CLEARS WAY
FOR RAIL MERGER
Sells Wabash and Lehigh
Stock to Pennsylvania
for $63,000,000.
By tl»« \»»oel*t*<l Prew.
NEW YORK, April 27.—Surrender
ing hLs holdings In the Wabash and
Lehigh Valley Railroads to the Penn
sylvania for $63,000,000. L. F. Lorre
has cleared the decks for a final agree
ment on Eastern railway consolidation
involving 50.000 miles of track and
property worth billions of dollars.
Wee yesterday relinquished his
dream of * fifth trunk line between
the East and West.
The deal was closed after weeks of
bargaining
The sale was for cash and free of
all incumbrances. It leaves Loree a
free hand in the disposition of the
Delaware <fe Hudson, of which he Is
president. It must figure in the four
trunk plan and some believe that Loree
would be made president of one of the
four systems.
The deal followed closely the dis
closure that Otio H. Kahn, banker,
had intervened in a deadlock which
threatened when loree refused to give
up his fifth trunk lire scheme.
The Baltimore & Ohio, it is believed
in some quarters, may now acquire the
Wabash holdings from the Pennsyl
vania. since there exist friendly rela
tions between the two roads.
With loree out of the picture after
three years in which he balked efforts
at consolidation, it is predicted in rail
road circles that the Pennsylvania,
B. At 0., New York Central and Nickel
Plate, will now go ahead with plans to
amalgamate the Eastern carriers into
four groups.
As a result of yesterday’s transaction,
the Delaware Ar Hudson nets a profit of
between $23,000,000 and $30,000,000.
Loree still remains a factor to be
reckoned with in the railroad world.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is considering his plan for merging the
Kansas City Southern. Missouri, Kansas
,fc Texas and the Southwestern Rail
roads.

Young Mother Arrested Sec
ond Time on Bad-Check
Charge.
Posing as the niece of Secretary of
Commerce Hoover and giving her name
as Elizabeth Randolph. Emily Allard
Rollins, 19 years old. was arrested for
the second time yesterday on a charge
of passing bad checks on local stores.
She had been placed on probation jon

bad check transaction, and when- she
told police that she was trying to buy
Christmas presents for her baby.
Says She Stayed at Mayflower.
When arrested yesterday afternoon
on Seventh street by Mrs. W. B. Clark
of the Women's Bureau, Miss Rollins
revealed lhat she had been stopping at
tiie Mayflower Hotel for the past week,
posing as a niece of Secretary Hoover
and also of B T. Altman, prominent
New York City merchant.
Investigation by police disclosed that
Miss Rollins, using the name of Eliza
beth Randolph, purchased a $l5O coat
at Rizik Bros., 1213 F street, giving a
worthless check for that amount In pay
ment. She had also passed checks for
smaller amounts on the Hecht Co..
Woodward A; Lothrop's and Frank R.
JellefT, and is said to have ordered SSOO
worth of clothing sent from a large
department store to the hotel.
Released on Parole.

mended probation for her.

CAPPS WARNS U. S.
OF SHIPYARD TREND
Admiral Tells Senate Body
Facilities May Be Lacking
for New Vessels.
By Hip Associated Press.
Testimony was given to the Senate
naval committee today by high naval
officials that if the present downward
trend In private shipbuilding continues
the Nation may find itself without
facilities to replace its battle fleet and
auxiliaries after the naval building holi
day ends in 1932.
The discussion revolved around the
House bill proposing the construction of
15 new 10.000-ton cruisers and one new'
aircraft carrier and particularly the
Dallinger amendment under which half
of these ships, with all of their equip
ment, would be constructed in navy
yards.
Secretary Wilbur, Rear Admiral Capps
and other high naval officers gave their
views on the Dallinger amendment, with
Admiral Capps Issuing the warning as
to a possible lack of ship building facili
ties for naval replacement during the
next 10 or 15 years.
Situation Becoming Worse.
The admiral, who, as Secretary Wil
bur explained, has devoted 40 years to
naval construction work, declared that
the situation as to shipbuilding facili
ties was far less satisfactory than it was
in 1916 and 1917, and that apparently
it was becoming worse.
The committee was told that there
are now only 8 private shipyards in
the country, as against 16 before the
war. and that of the 8 only 2 or 3 are
equipped to construct large naval craft.
Objecting to the arbitrary provision
in the bill for the construction of half
of the new ships In navy yards, Secre
tary Wilbur said it is essential to main
tain competition in naval construction
and also to keep the navy yards at high
efficiency.
Some Change# Needed.
He expressed apprehension that if
the Government yards were certain of
getting half of the ships there might
be a letting down in efficiency.
Should the Dallinger amendment be
retained in the bill, the Secretary said,
some changes would have to be made
in it. since the navy yards are not
equipped to manufacture all of the
armor, engines and armament for the
craft.
Much of the finished products going
Into the ships, sfich as boilers, gun
mounts, pumps and the delicate and
complicated fire control system, must
be purchased from private manufac
turers, he said.
