Spain Rejected Lima Conference May Make General Appeal Later

Lima, Dec. 18.

The Agenda Commission of the Pan-American Conference has rejected the Cuban proposal to formulate Armistice terms for Spain. An appeal, in general terms, to both sides in the Spain conflict is likely to be formulated later.

It is also considered possible that the Commission, which is composed of the Presidents of the various delegations, may favour a proposal which has been submitted by the Argentine, Uruguay and Chile.

This proposal is limited to express sing the desire, in very general terms, that the two sides shall end the conflict. The proposed declaration, which has obtained the assent of the principal delegations, cannot, it is claimed, hurt the susceptibi ies of either Burgos or Barcelona.—Reuter In London, Mr. C. S. Daniel, one of the three directors of McKesson and Robbins, Ltd., said that the trustees of the American firm had cabled him from New York with instructions to "carry on business as usual. All commitments will be met" Mr. Daniel told the press that the London firm had practically no connection with the American Com-"We are quite sound finan-he said. "All commitments will continue to be met as ordinarily"

In New Haven, Connecticut, George Musica, who was known as Dietrich, was arraigned on four counts of violations of the Secu ties and Exchange Commissio provisions. Federal agents also questioned him for three hours on alleged gun-running and liquor deals.—United Press.
