Panama Mission Departs :
From Home. n

BY the Associated Press.

gentine republic has declined TO
mediate between Panama and Costa
Rica in the territorial dispute which
last March caused open hostilities be-
tween the two Central American na-
tions aRd prompted the United States
to send several sharp notes to the
isthmus before warfare ceased.
The refusal of Argentina to lend It's
good offices in the controversy, as re-
quested by Panama, was learned from
authoritative sources here last night.
and a special Panamarf mission con-
sisting of Harmonic Arias and RI
cardo Morales has departed for home.
ConversatiOns Being Held.
This mission has been holding con-
versations with President HipolitS
Yrigoyen and Foreign Minister Hon-
orio Pueyrredon for several weeks
and has set forth every detall o.
Panamas part in the controversy, -
the hope that Argentina could be en-
couraged to take diplomatic steps OF
a mediatory nature. Senor Arias is re-
ported to have expressed desire that
Argentina join in mediation with
Brazil, Chile and other South Ameri-
sent special missions, from which no
reDorts have been received.
The foreign office has announced
| that diplomatic documents which have
been exchanged on the subject Will be
published in the near future. and that
they will explain the reasons why
] Argentina declined her services.
The dispute between Panama and
Costa Rica. which dates back nearly
| hundred years. reached an acute
stage early in March. when Panama
i formally disavowed an award by the
! late Chief Justice White of the United
States Supreme Court which gave to
Costa Rica several thousand square
kilometers of land on the Pacific side
| of the isthmus, including the village
| Of Coto.
Panama claimed that the White
award was unjust and completely un-
| acceptable adding that she would be
| pleased to have the matter again sub-
| mitted to arbitration. Costa Rica on
| the other hand. claimed that the dis
puted territory was wholly within her
| boundaries and that Panama would
find It impossible to justify claims OF
possession.

TO FIGHT CRIMINALS

Maj. Harry L. Gessford, superin-
tendent Of police, and police off,
cials throughout the country are
displaying a deep interest in ex-
periments that the Philadelphia
police are conducting for the pur-
pose of determining if lachrymatory

used in subduing criminals.
Maj. Stephen de la. Noy. chemical
warfare division of the United

told Superintendent of Police Mills
and 200 members of his command,
engaged in conducting an expert
ment, that the gas is not danger
Gus, but is merely a tear-produc-
ing. choking, neuseating gas. He
advised the police not to swallow
too much of it.
The experiment conducted at
Point Breeze, near Philadelphia,
yesterday drove back weeping po-
licemen on three successive occa-
sions.
Mai. Gessford said he would
make inquiries into the use of the
gas and would recommend its
adoption here if the Philadelphia
experiments prove successful. He
