S i i TOSETLEOLD Reérmqutiven Now. in House, to Meet Little Opposition in Own Party Ranks Lexington, Ky., April 24 (United Press)—The Kentucky representativ- es now in the house will meet with very little opposition within the ranks of their own party “in the August primary party leaders here beleive. In only one district so far does the primary look like a fight. Congress- man, John W. Langley, republican of the tenth is to be opposed by Edward L. Allen, at present deputy clerk in the court of appeals. But even here the odds seem to favor Langely. State senator White L. Moss of Middlesboro has announced his inten- tion of opposing Congressman J. M. Robinson "of Barbourville, republican representative in the. eleventh dis- trict. But here, too Congressman Rob- inson, who is one of the wealthiest and most popular men in the mount- ain counties, seems to have both ‘the primary and the general election clinched. A touch of interest is' added to the race in the tenth district by the an- nouncement of Fess Whitaker, nation- ally known as the “jailed jailor of Letcher” that he will run in the prim- ary in opposition to Congresman Langely, In the fifth district, which includes the city of Louisville, the present representative, Charles Franklin Og- den of Anchorage, republican, is ex- pected to be returned in both pri- mary and general election. In the first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, and ninth districts, where a democratic nomination is considered equivalent to election. the present in- cumbent in congress seem to have no opposition.

GEORGE'S DAY IS OBSERVED IN LONDON (By United Press) London, April 24—The death of Leopold Mont Blatten, first cousin to King George at Kensingbon Pulace yesterday, prevented his majesty from attending the picturesque ceremonie: at St. Paul’s Catherdral with which St. George’s day was celebrated. (By United Press) London, April 24.—There was a picturesque ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral this morning, when there was held a Chapter of the .Onler of St. Michael and St. George, in cel- ebration of St. George’s Day (which actually fell yesterday). 3 The Knights Grand Cross, who in- cluded many famous soldiers, sailors and statesmen, wore the full dress of their order, with the long “Saxon Blue” velvet cloaks and glittering collars and stars, while-the Knights Commander and Companion wore levee dress or uniform with jewelled collars and stars. Bishop Montgom- ery, as prelate of the prder, offi- ciated, and the cercmonial was ar- ranged by quaintly titled officials such as the Gentleman Usher of the Blue Rod (Sir Reginald Antrobus), and the St. Michael and St. George King-of-Arms (Sir M. F. Ommanney. The service included “The Commém- oration of the Departed,” after which, the banners of 3 deceased Knights Grand _Cross—Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, Sir John Kirk and Sir Thémas _Sutherlarid, were taken down, with mediaeval pomp, the King-of-Arms reciting eir titles| and achievements.

Chile and Peru to.-Attempt Settlement _of Ownership of Disputed Lands CONFERENCE INITIATED BY PRESIDENT HARDING Conference to BeOpe-ndlyon at Washington With U. S. . Acting as Mediator By A. L. Badford (United lg;us Staft Corréspondent) Washington, D. C., April 24— Another important international conferénce will open in a ' féw days in this capital, which is rapidly an international center of first rank. This is the ' conference .beétwéen Chile and Peru designed to- bri about a settlement of the long-mn't ing, Tacna-Arica controversy between those two countries, which for years has been a barrier to complete inter- national ‘accord in,South America. The conference was initiated by President Harding, when in' the mid- dle of last January, during the midst of the Conference on the Limitation of armament here, he addressed invi- tations to the Governments of Chile and Peru to send plenipotentiaries to meet on common grourid in Washing- ton to the end that they “‘may settle, if happily it may be, the existing dif- ficulties, or may arrange for the set- tlement. of them by arbitration.” In due course, Chile and ,Peru ac- cepted the invitation of the United States, and President Harding’s initi- ative met with general praise from South America. Later, the governing board of the iPan-American Union decided to turn over the beautiful building of the Union here for the scene of-negotia- tions between Chile and Peru. This building one of the most beautiful in Washington, was also the scene of much work of the Washington dis- armament conference, What is the Tacna-Arica question? Tacna and Arica are the names of two provinces on the West okt o ‘South America, which were formétly Peruvi- an territory, but which are now held y Chile, as the result of the war of 1879 between those countries, However, the question of the real ownership of these territoriey is still unsettled, Article 3 of the treaty of (Ancon, of 1883—this treaty endéd the war between Chile and Peru— provides for a plebiscite in the Prov- ces of Tacna andd Arica ten yeats after the ratification of the treaty, to decide to which of these two coun- tries these territories should go to. . The treaty of Ancon was ratified in 1884, but the plebiscite wds not held in 1894 in accordance with the pact, nor has it been held since, due to the inability of the two countriés u; agree on methods for the holding of it, . In the meantime, the case of Boliv- in was injected into the situation, THe President of that country in a tele- gram to President Harding asked that Bolivin be allowed a representation in the Washington negotations. Bolivia was the other participant in the so-called “War of the Pacific,” be- ing the ally of Peru. Chile as the te- sult of her victory, acquired tre sea- coast of Bolivia tnrough & separste peace treaty with that country. Since that time Bolivia has had no outlet to the sea, a situation she has constantly but vainly tried to extric- ate herself. o, President Hurding replied to the Volivian president refusing that coun- try’s plea for representation at the conference here. He explained that Chile and Peru was to take up the question to which Chile and = Peru were the only parties—the treaty of Ancon. But the Bolivian ~case may come up later. g Chile is represented here by Carlos Aldunate-Solar and Luis 1zquierdo, s the.two chief delegates, and Alejund- ro Alvarez, as couselor of the Delegu- tion; and Peru by Meliton F4 Portas and Herman Velarde, as the delegates and Solon Polo, as the counselor, ali proniinent experienced statesmen. The President’s invitation for the two countries to meet in confererce here in fully expected to be one of the most important steps ever taken by this government in Latin-American affairs, as some sort of a settlement of this question of 40 year’s standing is looked for. —Show Pride In Your City— THIEVES STEAL TOOLS 10 BREAK INTO STORE (By "Unitea Press) s St. Paul, April 24—Police in the twin cities were warned to watch for a band of thieves headed for the twin cities after looting a store at’ Litle Falls last night.
