DAVILA RESTORED | T0 POWER IN CHILE Former Ambassador to U. S. Plans Purely Socialist State. Reds Ousted. (Continued From First Page.) were marching on the city to beseige the palace. Machine guns began to rattle and great crowds of people, many of them Communists, sent up a terrific din in the streets. Airplanes of the attacking forces flew over the city, and the sky was lit up by bursting star shells and rocket flashes, while from the north the troops entered the city. Forces loyal to Col. Grove mounted machine guns on the palace and pre- pared o defend it, but as the counter- revolutionary hosts gathered in the d their artillery around the building and set up head- quarters in the ministry of war build- ing across the street, the loyal troops and caribineers began a general deser- tion and Grove and Matte were left practically without defense. Communism Banned. The attackers, in the meantime, is- sued a statement saying their only pur- pose was to restore constitutional gov- ernment and that they intended to re- frain from any part in politics, once rightful government had been re-estab- lished. In such a government, they said, communism would be declared *“outside the law” and entirely illegal. ‘There were several fusillades of firing in front of the palace at 12:45 a.m. and the caribineers, who had deserted Col. Grove began clearing the streets. From th» pal came the colonel’s | Jast defi, announcing he would die be- | fore he was taken, or before he would surrender. Ancther burst of firing fol- Jowed this announcement and ambu- lances rushed in to carry away the wounded. Communist groups in the meantime attempted to bomb the cathedral and the Merced Church and began breaking into some stores and office buildings. ‘The Caribineers hurried away and dis- persed them, however, before any dam- age was done. Grove and Matte Seized. At 2 am. the besieging forces moved into the palace and seized Grove and Matte. The members of the temporary junta formed immediately afterward ~were Gen. Augustin Moreno of the air force, Col. Arturo Merino Benitez of the army and Admiral Enrique Spoerer of the navy The leaders of the counter-revolu- tionary forces sought to verify reports | that former President Montero signed & blank resignation form before he was overthrown June 4 and delivered it to the President of the Senate. If this were true, they said, it would sible to fill in the name of who- | ever was designated minister of interior in the new regime, and, under the con- stitution, he would become y chosen President & ey The first designations for the new ministry today showed an amalgamation of old and new elements, apparently in | an attempt to consolidate all moderate | forces. | Members of Cabinet. Gen. Arturo Puga, a member of the old junta, was named minister of de- fense. Puga, who, like Davila, furnished the socialistic inspiration for the revolt Which overthrew President Montero, was a member of the Socialist junta until he was forced out by Col. Grove June 12. He had resented Col. Grove's unfriendly attitude toward foreign in- terests and his friendliness with ex- treme radical groups. Senator Enrique Zarnartu was named minister of finance and Juan Antonio Rios minister of interior. The new government, it was an- nounced, will follow the policies of| Davila, as the former junta intended to do_until Col. Grove began to dominate it. Within 11 months now Chile has been governed by four Presidents and two| juntas and has experienced a naval re- Yot and a dozen attempted revolutions, but it had not seen as exciting a few hours as last night, when the armed forces stormed into the city and traircd | artillery upon the palace, under 5.-.\ Pplane escort, in the mconlight and glare | of rocket lights. 100 Reds Arrested. Other members of the cabinet chosen, subject to final approval, were: Forelgn affairs, Louis Barriga; justice, Santiago Perez Pena; labor, Santiago Wilson; agriculture, Arturo Riveros, and de- velopment, Victor Navarrette. The education and health ministries were not filled. The cabinet acted quickly in pre- liminary matters, replacing the civilian censors with a military board and | Tounding up 100 or more Communists and other extremist leaders. One of the prisoners was Elias Lafferte, leader of the Chilean branch of the Moscow Boviet party. Until dawn small groups remained in the streets cheering for Col. Grove, but the cavalry was on patrol and things were generally quiet. By 9 oclock all the artillery had retired. A few small tanks remained in town. Col. Grove was still under close guard, but it was indicated he and his chief supporters would be permitted to leave the country. The army was keeping an eye on the town of Mendoza, across the Andes in Argentina, where former Presidents Ibanez and Montero have taken refuge. Belfast, Ireland, is to be asked to buy Belfast Castle estate for the erec- tion of a sanatorium.

CUMMING PRAISES MEDICAL GAINS Tells Homeopathy Institute of Recent Advances in Pre- ventive Medicine. Recent achievements in preventive medicine were cited last night by Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general of the Public Health Service, in an address at the banquet closing the eighty-eighth convention of the American Institute of Homeopathy at the Washington Hotel | Dr. Cumming spoke of the serums for treating the dread typhus and spotted fevers, = discovered within the past | months by the National Institute of Health, and said the Public Health Service will soon make the public an- | nouncement of the vaccine. The Public Health Service was con- gratulated by Senator Copeland of New York. who followed the surgeon general on the program. He also praised the work of other Government agencies which aid public health, and scored | physicians and others who lobby against | Federal health measures. He said the physician would never lose his place as | a private practitioner through “State | medicine"—the passage of public health measures. FIVE NATIONS STOP REPARATIONS UNTIL CONFERENCE END (Continued From First Page.) post-war oans abroad and said heavy ! pubic expenditures were necessary to avoid social dangers. | “The reparations,” he said, “have shown themselves to be abhorrent. Ex- perience excludes the possibility of re- commencing the payments. A new trial would end in a new defeat. | “Reparations were originally intended for reconstruction, but now they are a means of destruction.” Premier Herriot of France, replying to the German's speech, agreed that Germany is not able to continue rep- arations payments for the present, but | he asserted that cancellation “is not the most important problem to be con- | sidered here” | Mr. Chamberlain said Great Britain | was convinced that inter-governmental obligations were disastrous to civiliza- | tion. His government, he said, “is pre- pared to share in a general wiping of | the slate, provided all governments con- cerned will do the same.” M. Herriot arose again to say with some feeling that he wanted the Ger- man people to understand that France is not callous to the difficulties of other | nations, but is trying to work for the | common good and the common peace. Reparations One Element. Cancellation of reparations would strike deeply, however, he said, for rep- arations are an integral part of the European economic system. “Cancellation,” he said, “is not anef- | ficacious, equitable solution, for debts and reparations are but one element of the world's troubles. “It is wrong to think that sudden concellation would restore economic equilibrium. To do this it is necessary to establish security. There is no po- litical peace without economic peace, and vice versa. “More important than debts and re- parations is the modification of tariffs, quotas and other trade restrictions. We ask for our share only in the spirit of justice which we wish for every nation.” After this exchange and before a series of private conferences began Chancellor von Papen indicated that it might be necessary for Germany to declare a moratorium on the $355500,- 000 interest and amortization on Ger- many's private debts, the bulk of which are owed to Americans. $48,000,000 Involved. More than $48,000,000 is involved in the temporary suspension of reparations | payments approved today, assuming that the suspension continues until the middle of next month.

Earlier it had refused to Temove $650,000 for Naval Reserve training cruises but approved without a record vote an amendment by Senator Robin- son of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, which would have prohibited use of any of the $319,000,000 for sending more Marines to Nicaragua to supervise the coming elections. Navy officials said today it is unlikely money will be forthcoming for the con- struction of a new naval hospital here The Robinson amendment stirred the most vigorous debate as the appropria- tion bill was rushed through the Sen- ate late in the day. Declared Without Authority. Democratic members charged that Secretary Stimson had no authority to send more Marines to Nicaragua for the elections, contending he intended dispatching 400 more. Chairman Hale of the subcommittee in charge of the bill said the Marines were considered necessary bcause they were trained for the work. Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, “the Secretary of State will find some way to use the Marines already there to supervise the election.” Without mentioning the cabinet offi- unto himself.” Attacks “Lawless Practice.” “He snapped his fingers,” the Vir- tion directing him to cease what Glass termed “the absolutely lawless practice™ of approving foreign loans negotiated in this country. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana, said he was informed by President Diaz of Nicaragua that he ran for re- election upon being urged to do so by the American State Department. “I was promised,” Wheeler quoted Diaz as saying, “that if I would run they would have Marines in here to back me.” BUSBY TELLS KIWANIS DEBTS CURB PROGRESS Representative Declares U. 8.

Representative Jeff Busby of Mississippl, a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, told the Kiwanis Club yesterday that the American public mortgaged its future when the financial outlook was bright and now must fight its way out against discouraging odds. The speaker expressed the hope, how- ever, that “something can be worked out to prevent economic crises such as the present.” Members of the club will attend an interclub meeting at Winchester, Va., June 22, it was announced. The Wash- ington club will hold a “Ladies’ day”| luncheon next Thursday, and on July 14 the members will meet on board the {Y,'lg?ite Constitution, docked at the Navy ard.

Application was made today to the District Supreme Court for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the invest- ment banking firm of Crane, Parris & Co., 821 Fifteenth street. Justice Jesse C. Adkins issued a rule on Eugene E. Thompson and B. Ogle Harper, said to comprise the firm, and on Thomas W. Brahany, former member of the firm, who retired March 13, 1931, to show cause next Tuesday why the receiver should not be appointed. The suit is filed by Charles A. Carry, 1311 G street, who says he has $108,000 on deposit with the firm; M. Virginia Devine, Wardman Park Hotel, described as a widow 81 years old, who claims that stock worth approximately $50,000 belonging to her was hypothecated, and the George Washington Masonic Na- tional Memorial Association, which claims to have had $107,000 on deposit with the bankers. Would Cancel Contract, ‘Through Attorneys Alexander H. Bell, Fred McKee and O'Brien & O'Brien the plaintifs ask the cancellation of a con- tract made October 23 last, whereby the | three creditors, being the only unsecured creditors, agreed not to prosecute any sults against the firm and to allow liquidating_trustees to settle the affairs of Crane, Parris & Co. At the time of the signing of this agreement, the bill of complaint al- leges, misrepresentations were made to | them concerning the assets and liabil- | ities of the company. It is also alleged | that a recent audit has disclosed that the firm is not in the solvent condition that was represented. There was no| consideration for the agreement, the plaintiffs assert. Assets Pledged. The claim is made that the present assets of the firm consists almost en- tirely of bonds and other securities pledged as collateral for loans of Crane, Parris & Co., the income from which, 1t is alleged on information, is not suffi- clent to pay the interest on the loans. large part of the assets of the firm, it is alleged, is now in_possession of | Brahany, as manager of E.
