SOLUTION YET DIM IN CHILE-PERU CASE Basic Issues Come to Top as Delegates Await New Word From Home. Ty the Associated Press, At the end of three weeks of hesi- tating discussion, the Chilean and Peruvian delegates, meeting here, ap- parently were little nearer a solution of their differencs last night than when their conferences began. The conference sessions, inter- spersed with long periods of waiting for instructions from home, have brought again®sharply to the syrface fundamental issues that have es- tranged the two nations for a genera- tion, but have failed so far to de- velop the middle ground on which it had been hoped the two might unite. Hope of an eventual agreement has not_yet been abandoned, however, both delegations clinging outwardly to the optimistic view with which they entered the conference three weeks ugo. But no one in authority will say upon what possible solution he bases his cheerful predictions. Chile's Reply Awaited. At the present stage the negotia- tions are waiting on Chile’s formal reply to the Peruvian proposal to ar- bitrate the plebiscite question in Tacna-Arica, and there apparently is e expectation in conference cir- cles that the response will contain! counter-proposals of a character to Keep the discussions alive. It has beeh hoped that the Chilean govern- ment would act in time to permit & session of the conference yesterday. | but the expected advice did not arrive | and it was said last night to be by no means certain whether a meeting could be held tomorrow. All preliminary indications emanat- iz from Chilean official circles both here and in Santiago have been that the Chilean response would be unfa- vorable, but the final determination is understood to be a matter closely connected with political developments Chile and the meeting of the an congress which took place on June 1. It is understood that the delay, which already amounts to a week, has been caused in part by the wish of Chilean statesmen to have the congress share the responstbility | of an answer which may decide the fate of the conference. May Insist on Plebiscite. Both news dispatches from Santiago | and current opinion in Chilean cir- cles here indicate that Chile intends to insist on holding a plebiscite n Tacna-Arica and that the greatest advance she could make to & con- ciliatory solution would be to accept arbitration on the detalls of carrying it out. In the case that the expected an- swer conforms to_ these indications observers foresee a serious ng either the break- up of conference or friendly mediation by the United States. The Chilean demand for arbitration on the conditions of the plebiscite was rejected flatly by Peru last Decem- ber. Peruvian officials asking for ar- bitration of the whole problem in- stead. It was then that the Ameri- can government invited both coun- tries to send delegates to Washing- 5 SPECIAL NOTICES. i ha _—_—nm— OFFICE BUILDINGS, U. S. OWNED, URGED FOR DEPARTMENTS (Continued from First Page.) When the commission was organized May 22, 1919, the government's an- nual rent bill was $1,135,897.28. To- day it is $545,873, making a saving of §590,024.38. To this must be added $49,500 which is now being paid for rent of the Hooe bullding, 1330 F street, occupied by prohibition head- quarters, which is to be vacated by the Treasury Department on Septem- ber 1. Other Savings. Two other important savings have been accomplished by the commis- slon. One of these Is in the assign- ment of temporary building No. 2, at 19th and D streets, to the 1. C. C. for the housing of certain field offices which have been occupying rented buildings in various cities through- out the country at a cost of $6,418.92. Second, the assignment of temporary building No. 7, at 18th and C streets, to the War Department for housing of certain troops on duty in Wash- ington. Officlals of the War Depart- ment estimate that this means a saving of $175,000 in commutation of quarters and subsistence. This is particularly interesting in view of the proposal recently made to Congress for the purchase by the government for $1,500,000 of seven sites now oc- Lupll‘d by temporary bulldings west h street. It shows that me use of this one structure will in len years pay for the sites of all these} Seven bulldings and leave $250,000 already maintained by the govern- ment. " This saving alone amounts to to_spare. Adding all these items together ishows that the commission has been directly responsible for annual re- duction of $831,443. Maintenance Cost Cut. Another considerable saving inei- dental to the giving up of rented which has generally been almost as much as the rent itself. This mainte- nance charge has been eliminated al- most entirely by the transfer of these government agencies in the buildings several hundred thousand dollars an- nually. ‘The Public Buildings Commission not employed a large clerical force to effect this saving. It has but one employe, the Secretary. Out of the initial appropriation made to the commission three years ago of $10,000, there remains in the Treas- ury of the United States today an unexpended balance of $1,084.10. ACCEPTS NAVY RESIGNATION The President has accepted the resignations of the following named officers of the Navy: Lieut. Noel Davis at Pensacola, Fla.; Lieut. John G. M. Stone, attached to the U. S. S. Eagle 33, and Ensign Leon J. Benwell, at- tached to the U. S. S. Eagle 11. ton to the conference now being held. ‘There is every indication that an in- sistence now by Chile on its previous | stand again would meet with a flat| refusal from Peru. SPECIAL NOTICES.

JUNE 4 192 PART 1. STREETS LIKE RIVERS FIGHT POSTAL CHANGE. FOLLOWING RAINSTORM | Ratiway Mail Glerks Want John- son Retained Here. Pedestrian Marooned Fifteen Min- utes Near Florida Avenue; Cellars Flooded. Residents along 8th street north- west, Rhode Island avenue to Florida avenue and along Sherman avenue thought of a flood about 4 o'clock yesterday, when water, in places more than a foot deep, rushed past their homes after a severe rainstorm. The current of muddy water.swept southward from Columbia Hgights and Park View and converged at Sth street, quickly overflowing sewers and filling the street above the curb line. In some places lawns were covered and basements flooded. A colored man, caught in the mid- dle of the street half a block above Florida avenue, ‘was marooned for nearly fifteen minutes in the street. Apparently, he disliked the idea of wetting his clothes to the knees, as he would have been compelled to do if ‘he had left his position. A motor cycle parked on Sherman avenue was caught in the current, its wheels col lecting debris enough to form a dam and shove the machine several feet along the gutter. A pile of bricks on Sherman ave- nue, in front of a building excava- tion, was scattered, to the menace of automoblle traffic. It was exciting while it lasted, but it was soon over. and the only per- sons who will worry about it iomor- row, perhaps, will be members of the street-cleaning force. COTTON CROP IS SHORT. Blame Laid on Late Planting, Rain, Floods and Boll Weevil. In a statement commenting on the cotton crop condition of 69.6 per cent May 25, as compared with ten- year average of 74.6, the Department of Agriculture attributes the poor showing to lateness of the crop, fre- quent rains, cool weather, floods, re- planting and in some regions the ap- clerks, held at the Hotel Continental last night, resolutions were adopted protecting against the proposed transfer of Chief Clerk J. W. Johnson of district six from Washington to by General Superintendent Riddell of the railway mail service. President Link of the Third Division Railway Majl Associntion presented a petition signed by practically every railway postal clerk in Johnson's district to Second Assistant Postmaster General Henderson Friday afternoon, urgently requesting that Johnson be retained in_his present position here. The resolutions protested against the transfer of Mr. Johnson to Lynch burg, Va. “to make a place for anl outside mar whora it is desired tol bring in to fill Johnson's position.” | it was declared. The meeting also adopted a resolu- tion protesting against the transfer of a woman employe from another department here to an office position Uin district six, railway mail service. 3 Late Hits For Your Player-Piano No. 1938 No. 1914 No. 931 § Stumbling—Fox Trot.
