TAKE UP GEORGIA TODAY

| Besides the decisions on the Florida l ease, tLe committee tomorrow will take | up the hard fought controversy between | the Wood and Lowden forces in Geor- gia and that between three eparate sets | If delegates from the District of Colun- 1 pia.
 The Florida contest, vigorously argued by the committee as well as the con testants, involves, in fact, the question of whether there is, in law, republican party in Florida. regular faction, headed by George w. Bean of Tampa, the national committeeman, based its claims upon the Palatka convention of January 29, under call issued by Daniel Y. Gerow of Jacksonville, the republican state chairman who was elected in l9l6 for four years.
 The delegation headed by H. l.. Ander- 1 son of Jacksonville, claimed title to elec- 1 tion in 1918 under a state primary law Of | a state executive committee while the | third group, headed by Al Church and 1 w. L. Vanduzor of Jacksonville, claimed
 their seats by virtue of second con- vention
 The regularly reported delegates were | charged by MT. Anderson with having | forfeited their right to seats by neglect | ing to file primary nominations for the state committee. He asserted they be- 1 came defunct as a party organization
 under state supreme court decision rem
 dered last May, which held that under
 the primary law the party had failed to poll per cent of the votes cast at an cleo tion and ceased to be a party organiza- | tion under the law.
 | BOTH DEFUNCT, CLAIM l The Church-Vanduzor group contended | that both the Bean and the Anderson organizations were defunct and that, rep resenting the real republicans of Flor

REPUBLICANS BEGIN DECIDING CONTESTS FROM DELEGATIONS
In Alabama Contest Regu- larly Reported Delegates Seated In Absence of
 Contestant
By Associated Press

Chicago, May S1.-In open session today the republican national com mittee began deciding contests from various state delegations to the con- vention, but made only slow prog ress.
 In what Chairman Hays character ized as judicial rather than political decisions the committee seated regu- larly reported delegates from Arkansas and Alabama, postponed the contest over the District of Columbia until to- morrow and after giving an extended hearing to a three -cornered contest from Florida, adjourned overnight without making a decision.
 At today's rate of progress Chair man Hays estimated that the contests would not be cleared up before Friday. Today's decisions will not be factors in the strength of any candidate in the convention, and range principally about the questions of regularity, al- though the race issue frequently was injected.
 In all decisions today the committee was guided on resolutions of law and presented by Charles B. Warren of Detroit national committeeman from Michigan, who was acting at the re- quest of Chairman Hays as the com mittee attorney. At the conclusion ot each contest MT. Warren issued a statement of the reasons upon which the committee was acting. Chairna r Hays said that it was a part of his plan of laying the committee work before the country.
 Only seven of Hne 137 contests were decided in the first days work. REGULAR DELEGA ATES SEATED
 In the Alabama contest the regularly reported delegates were seated.
 The contestant, w. H. Nixon of Selma, Ala, made no appearance. The regularly certified delegate, J. B. At s&nsao of Clanton, was seated Nixon

 Oliver D. Street, Alabama commit tee member, told the committee that the Nixon contest was made out of whole cloth" and in the failure of contestant to press the case the com mittee adopted unanimously a motion dismissing the contest.
 Seven regularly reported delegates from Arkansas were seated, the negro contestants being dismissed. One dele gate. instructed for Governor Lowden, and two reported favorable to him, were among those given seats.
 Taking up the contests alpha betically, the committee struck a snag in the Flor- ida contest where three separate sets or delegates, one each reported favorable to Major General Wood, Governor Lowden and Senator Johnson, respectively were contesting. For more than three hours the committee argued over complicated technical points of the Florida case and finally referred it overnight t. subcorn- mittee of three for recomm enGation to- morrow The three committeeman were Warren of Michigan, Dupont of Delaware, and Parsons of New York

PERUS DRIFTING SAND DUNES
Plateau Shelf Has Strange Crescent.
Shaped Formations That Are
Packed Hard. -


AS one makes the ascent of the
Andes from the Pacific port of Mol
lendo, Peru, following the line of the
Southern of Peru Railway, the climb
to the divide is broken by two great
steps or widespreading shelves of des.
ert or pampa.
On the first of these steps, about
two hours steep climb from the sea-
and at an altitude of from four thou
sand to five thousand feet, are located
the famous drifting sand hills of Peru.
The plateau is here about twenty
miles wide, the air thin and dry and
no trace of vegetation to be seen, only
these gigantic crescent-shaped sand
dunes dotting the pampa as far as
the eye can see.
Composed of fine gray crystal sand,
they CLEAN white against the brown
of the desert, and their horns point
toward the prevailing south wind of
this region. They are from fifteen
to twenty feet in breadth across the
thick part of the crescent and some.
times one hundred feet from horn to
horn. So tightly Is the sand packed
that the feet of the horses or mules
make little impression on it.

Chicago.-When the French peas
ants and bourgeoisie became utterly
fed up with the ancient regime, they
led several dozens of aristocrats to the
guillotine and nicked off their heads.
The citizens Of Boston, years ago, de-
Ginning to pay tax, dumped a ship

Movements like these are to be re-
garded as symbols of protest. The
peasant was not an advocate of indiS-
criminate slaughter; the BOstOnian did
not dislike tea, and 1920 Americans
are not strong for overalls per Sc.
LeGrand F. Malaney, secretary of the
National Sheep and Wool bureau. %

Ion that the protest demonstrated by
