President Names Barton Smith of Toledo to Help Adjust Claims. Appointment of Barton Smith, To- ledo attorney, to be the American member of @ board of three to ad: just the controversy with Peru aris- ing from the working of guano de- posits-in that country, was announced today at the White House. Under an agreement recently reach- ed between the two governmenrts, each was tc select one arbiter, the two to name a third, who, it was specified, must be a European. The commission must meet in the country from which the third member comes. The dispute arose through claims of Celestin dreau, who, with his brother, a citizen of France, among _ the first ‘to discover tl value of the immense guano deposits in Peru. All of the principals in the original dispute are dead, but heirs of the, American_ brother have pressed the claims which have been the subject of long diplomatic correspondence. I TOLEDO, Ohio, June 21.—Marton Smith, attorney, was officially notified jtoday’ by President Harding of his appointment to represent the United States on a arbitration commission of three members which will consider matters in dispute between this coun- try and Peru. CONGRESS MAY REVIEW DISCHARGE OF MARINE Case of Capt. Chamberlain Revived Before Senate Commit- tee Today. Congressional investigation of the dismissal from the Marine Corps of Capt. Edmund G. Chamberlain of San Antonio, Tex., for his alleged false claims in 1918 of having shot down a number of German airplanes on the ‘western battle front was recommend- ed today by the Senate naval commit- tee. Capt. Chamberlain was court-mar- tlaled and dismissed from the Marine Corps, despite claims to innocence. Rear Admiral Sims, it was said, ap- proved the court-martial findings. Appeals to Congress were taken by Capt. Chamberlain’s friends, and Sen- ator Sheppard, democrat, Texas, in- troduced a resolution for an investi- gation by the Senate naval commit- tee, and also a bill for Capt. Cham- berlain’s_reinstatement. . After hearing Senator Sheppard at length_today, the committee reported favorably his resolution for an in- vestigation, which requires ratifica- tion by the Senate. No action was taken on the reinstatement bill. === === a ons Free. oar Fillings, Gold_Crowns toflupingoldjand Bridse silver,amalgam| Work, $3—8$4=— ofjor porcelain. |35 per Tooth. 427-429 7th St. N.W.

Combing of land and sea the world over today was instituted by govern- menta] investigating agencies {n an effort to solve the mysterious ground- ing last January, and the disappear- ance of the crew of the schooner Car- roll A. Deering, and the disappearance later of the Steamer Hewitt of the Tnion Sulphur Company. Not since the disappearance of the collier Cyclops during the war have the government agencles been faced with a case so mysterious as that sur- rounding these two vessels. While saying that the investigation would require months in efforts to rach a solution, the governmental opera- tives say thta the sea probably will hold this unsolved mystery along with many others. Although so far Department of Jus- tice investigators say that they have interviewed every one who might throw a ray of light on the ground- ing of the Deering, they are as much baffled as on the day it was reported. Piracy Idea Scouted. While scouting the idea of piracy along the Atlantic coast, they never- theless said that anybody’s gueéss was good until the agents had an oppor- tunity to cover every bit of ground. The State Department today for- warded to its representatives the world over directions to be on the lookout for the missing steamer Hewitt and any member of the crew of the Deering, not one of whom has been accounted for. Department of Justice agents, by the process of elimination, are trying to ascertain the identity of the mystery steamer which passed Diamond Shoals lightship about the time the Deering is supposed to have been grounded, and which either failed or refused to an- swer a signal of the lightship. It passed close aboard the lightship, but flew no colors, and was of the freighter type, according to Department of Jus- tice secret service agents, When the vessel was discovered all sails were set, running lights burning and two red distress lights burning in her rigzing. This was out of the ordinary, it was pointed out, and indi- cated that no seafaring man was aboard when the vessel grounded. The captain of the lightship report- fed that he spoke to the captain of the Deering, but, when shown a photo- 'graph of Capt. Wormell, asserted that he was not the man whom he ihailed, and that no person with a likeness such as that in the picture was \seen around the deck when the vessel passed. Deering Case Detalled. The description of the case of the Deering sent to consular aai diplo- ic agents all over the world say: On January 29, 1921, the American schooner Caroll A. Deering, sailing at the rate of about five miles per hour, passed Cape Lookout lightship, N. C.. and on January 31, 1921, it was found a few miles north of that point in such cdndition that there is every suspicion of foul play having ac- curred. The vessel cleared for Nor- folk, Va, from Rio de Janeiro and put into Barbados for orders, but, re- ving no different orders, proceeded on its voyage to Norfolk. After pass- ing:- Cape Lookout lightship, the ves- sel was not again seen until it was found as a wreck and nothing has been heard from the members of the crew. The master of the vessel, Capt. ‘V;:rn;!ll. ;s reported to have been experienced as a navigat ol:\gthl,v reliable. Gatoriand;shors the time the Caroll A. Deerin, passed the Cape Lookout lightship E man on board, other than the captain, hailed the lightship and reported that the vessel had lost both anchors, and asked to be reported to his owners. Otherwise the vessel appeared to be in very good condition. A short time after the schooner passed the lightship a steamer, the name of which cannot be ascertained. which was passing, was asked to stop and take a message for forwarding, and in spite of numer- ous attempts on the part of the master of the lightship to attract the vessel's a on no response attention 25 deap to his efforts Messnge in Bottle. *“On April 11, 1921, the following message was picked up in a bottle near Cape Hatteras: “ ‘Deering captured by ofl-burn boat something like chaser, m«::é Ooff everything, handcufling crew. hid- ing all over ship. No chance to make escapa Finder please notify head- quarters of Deering.’ “The Caroll A.

Other Baffiing' Cases. Equally as baffling, government agents say, are the cases of the Brit- ish steamer Albyn and the Russian bark Yute, which disappeared last fall’ off the North Carolina coast. The Albyn sailed from Norfolk last October and never was heard from again, while the Yute when off Cape -Hatteras, sent a radio message asking for aid, but when steamers reached the position given in the message an hour later no trace of the vessel was found, and, it is said, she has never been heard from since. Reports to the government are that the weather ‘was perfectly calm. After the Hewitt disappeared and the Deering came ashore without a crew, a British insurance company suggested that the two vessels prob- ably had collided and that the Deer- ing’s crew went down with the Hew- itt| An investigation by coast guard officers, however, convinced them that the Deering was not damaged suffi- ciently to warrant a conclusion that she had been in a collision with eny other craft. Likely Will Be Unsotved. Inclined to the opinion that the two cases will go down in history with other unsolved mysteries of the sea, the greatest of which on record, they declare, is that of the American bark Marje Celeste, which was found off the Azores three months after she left Europe in 1872, with all sails set, undamage in calm weather, but with the crew missing. A boarding party from the shi, which sighted the bark found the ble set for dinner with hot coffee in the pot and everything aboard the ship in the same condition it would havé been had the crew left only a few -minutes before. a sewing machine was a walst which the cap- tain's wife had making, toys used by the captal son were on the floor. In the fo'castle was a table with playing cards distributed around in front of chairs, as though members of the crew had leisurely left a game of cards. Besides/the captain, his wife and son, there werp ten men in the ship's crew. The vessel was to to port and again put in gervice, but about Bix years later she disappeared com- pletely with her crew and has ever come from her.

ROANOKE, Va., June 21.—Staunton Military Academy of Staunton, Va., and Augusta Military Academy of Fort Deflance, Va., two preparatory mili- tary institutions, have been notified by the War Department that they have been awarded the honor echool rating, only ten such schools receiv- ing this military distinction this year. BRITISH DEDICATE - WASHINGTON HOME By the Associated Presa. SULGRAVE, Northamptonshire, June 21—Sulgrave Manor, ancestral home of the Washingtons, Was re- dedicated here today with elaborate ceremonies, after its restoration, at a cost of £60,000, to the state in which it existed three centuries ago. In addition to dignitaries from Lon- don the lord mayors of Birmingham, Northampton and Banbury and other towns were present, attired in their gorgeous robes of office, Wearlng their official chains and preceded by the bearers of the maces symbolic of civic authority. Members of tawn cor- porations from various centers also attended. e of Cambridge, brother of Queen Mary, and George Harvey, United States ambassador, gave the principal addresses, asserting the fundamental solidarity of the peoples of the empire and the republic and dedlaring the day’s event a good au- gury for the future. The Prince of Wales planned to be present, but was detalned. He ex- tended an invitation to a delegation to call on him tomorrow at St. James 'alace, at London, to give him an opportunity to express his personal interest in the enterprise at Sulgrave. Today's exercises were arranged by the Sulgrave Institution, organized in 1912 to foster friendship between Great Britain and the United States. It was the institution also which be- Zan the movement for the restoration of Sulgrave manor and had the work in charge from the first. The exercsies began with short serv- fces in the Sulgrave parish church, where lie buried Laurence Washing- ton, forbear of George Washington; Washington and their eleven ren. The .ceremonies proper were held on the lawn of the manor house. John A. Stewart of New York, chairman of the American branch of the Sulgrave Institution, presented a bron: bust of Washington to the manor on behalf of American donors. Letters from Calvin Coolidge, Vice President of the United States; Unit- ed States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, and other Americans were read. Immediately after the exercises on the lawn, there occurred the cere- mony in dedication of the Washing- ton arms on tha right spandrel of the main doorway. These consist of the three stars and two bars from which originated the American flag. BIG U. S. S. MARYLAND AT SEA FOR TRIAL TESTS The superdreadnaught Maryland, believed by American experts to be the most powerful fighting machine afloat, put to sea today from Newport News, Va., to begin a series of tests preliminary to being turned over by the constructors to the Navy Depart- ment. The Maryland, as soon as com- missioned, will be transferred to the west coast as one of the units of the reorganized Pactfic fleet, to which force also will be assigned, on com- pletion, her sister ship, the Cali- fornia. . Carrying eight sixteen-inch rifles in four turrets, the Maryland is said to combine the longest range with the heaviest broadside of any vessel afloat. She is electrically equipped and her first trials will be witnessed by many civilian experts interested in that science, as well as by a full coterie of naval observers. In addition to the two electric- drive dreadnaughts, the reorganized Pacific fleet, as_announced yesterday by Secretary Denmby, will ‘comprise the New Mexico, Idaho, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arizona, Oklahoma and Nevada, the announced intention of the Navy Department being to con- centrate in those waters the oil- burning units of the first line. The Atlantic fleet, after transfers are completed, wiil include the Pennsyl- vania, North Dakota, Wyoming, New York. Texas, Arkansas, Florida and elaware. D ree “destroyer divisions will be transferred to the Pacific, Secretary Denby said, and the two main fleets will combine during three months of each year for training in combined tactics. —_— BELIEVED WORK OF PIRATES. Deering Crew Likely Victims of Foul Play. - PORTLAND, Me, June 2L—The theory that pirates are afloat in the north Atlantic has found credence here. Belief in this explanation “of the fate of the recently missing ships has grown with establishment of the fact that the message in a bottle picked up two months ago north of Cape.Hatteras, purporting to explain the disappearance of the crew of the five-masted Bath schoon- er Carroll Deering, mystery ship of Diamond shoals, was written by Henry Bates of Isleboro, Me, a mem- ber of the crew. Question of its genuineness was settled by handwriting experts who compared it with letters wrtiten by Bates. The unsigned note stated that the schooner had been captured by an nfl-b\lrnlni craft, something like a subchaser, that the members of the crew who were hiding all over the ship with no chance to escape were being handcuffed and that everything was being taken off. Through the efforts of Mrs. Willis ‘Wormell of this city, wife of the ‘captain of the Deering, and friends, an investigation is being conducted by the Department of Commerce, the coast guard and other government agencies, to establish the fate of-the missing _ crew, Wwhich consisted of twelve men, besides the captain. They are working on the theory that the oil steamer Hewitt, which disap- peared in the same locality at aboyt the same time, while bound from Texas to Boston, was captured by the same pirate crew. D. ¢, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1921 LLOYD GEORGE FO FRIENDSHIP OF U.S. By the Associated Press, LONDON, June 20—The British prime minister, in opening the impe- rial conference, attended by the pre- miers of the overseas dominions, re- ferred to Anglo-Japanese relations in terme generally regarded in American circles here as assurance to the Unit- ed States that any renewal of the egreement with the Japanese govern- ment would necessarily be of a na- ture unobjectionable to America While Mr, Lloyd George avoided a on on the direct issue of the treaty, he alluded to the war-time friendship with Japan end said that Great Britain was anxious to apply this frieadship to a wolution of the questions connected with the Pacific ocean and tkte far east, among them the future of China. Great Britain desired to avoid competition in armaments in the Pa- cific, the prime minister declared, and he emphasized the willingness of the government to discuss limitation of armaments with the United States. He pointed out at the same time that the life of the United Kingdom, as also of Australia and New Zea- land, was built upon seapower—‘“the basis of the whole empire’s exist- ence. Disoussing the relations between Great Britain and the United States, the prime minister said: * endly co-operation with the United States is for us a cardinal principle dictat- ed by what seems to us the proper nature of things, by instinct quite as much as by reason and common sense. ‘'We are ready to discuss with American statesmen any proposal for the limitation of armaments which they wish to setforth, and we can they wish to set forth, and we can undertake that no such overtures will to meet them.” e first session of the conference was without ceremony, the repre- sentatives of the United Kingdom, the dominions and India assembling at the residence of the premier, who spoke for an hour. Mr. Lloyd George welcomed the visiting premiers and other delegates, who, he said, met as ‘equal partners in the dignities and responsibilitiecs of the British com- monwealth.” BAPTISTS WILL OPEN CONVENTION TOMORROW DES MOINES, Iowa., June 21.—More than five thousand persons, delegates and visitors, are in Des Moines this afternoon Zor the opening of the four- teenth annual convention of the North- ern Baptist Conference here tomorrow.
