u S. AND PERU TO ARBITRATE "
CLAIM DUE OVER HALF CENTURY
Compensation Sought for Services Rem
dered by Theophilus T. Landreau, Nat
uralized American, 20 Years Ago.

100000. The Peruvian government
has never disputed the claim that
Landreau was entitled to compensa-
tion for his discoveries and services.
but has invariably postponed actual
settlement. 1t Is admitted that the
development of the nitrate deposits
has netted many millions in revenue
to the Peruvian government and that
the industry is now one Of itc prfn-
cipal sources of income. In recent
years large sums of money were bor-
rowed from Great Britain to carry
on the work. With interest and 9TH
er accretion. the original claim has
been swelled to nearly hundred mill
lion dollars.
Brother His Sole Heir.
On the death of the explorer. Jean
Theophile Landreau. his brother. John
Celestine Landreau. was named exc
cutor and sole heir of all right and
title in the claims against the Peru
Wan government. That government
agreed to make settlement with the
heirs. John Celestine Landreau also
died before the matter WAS settled
and his will was recently filed in the
Supreme Court Of the District of Co.
lumbia. In that instrument instruc-
tions were given for pressing the
claims against Peru. and Norman b
Landreau. a grandson. and Martin }:
as trustees and executors of the Lam
dreau estate.
Mrs. Marie Landreau Dycer. for
merly of Herndon, Va, who is a
niece of John Celestine Landreau
now claims she is the sole heir to his
estate. including the claims against
Peru. The value of the estate will
depend on the result of the arbitra-
tion proceedings to be instituted by
the United states and Peru for the
set,lement of the long pending claims
Evening star., 1921-06-17

Representatives of the United States
and Peru finally have arranged for
the arbitration of the so-called Lam
,ject of diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the two countries for more
than half a century. Under a re-
Gently signed protocol each of the
two governments is to select an ar
bitrator. and the two so selected are
to choose from among the nationals
of a European country a third arbi-
of the commission. The arbitral COM
which the third arbitrator is selected.
The United States and Peru will each
be represented by an agent. The Sc
lection Of the arbitrators is now un-
der consideration. and it is expected
the commission will be organized in a
short time.
Basis OF Claim.
The Landreau claim arose out of
certain services rendered to the Pc
ruvian government by Jean Theophile
Landreau. French scientist and ex-
plorer. who became Il naturallzed citi-

Consideration Of the plea Of the
government employees for half holi-
day on Saturdays the year round Is
Understood to have been one of the
subjects before the meeting of the
President and his cabinet today. 1t-is
the belief Of representatives OF the
employees who brought the matter to
the attention of the White House that
early action on the request may be
looked for. They are also of the opin-
ion that the President is inclined to
favor the proposition il it can be made
effective without detracting from the
smooth running and general emciehcy
Of the government forces.
These representatives contend that
the extension Of the haii- -hoiia1S n1y
