PERU HAS BOUNDARY
FIGHT WITH ECUADOR
Tacna-Arica Settlement Not to End
South American Troubles, Says
Richard Muller.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Referring to the editorial article,
The Chile-Peru Meeting" in The
Evening Star Of this date, beg leave
to call your attention to an error in
your statement that with the Tacna-
africa boundary definitely and finally
hxed to the satisfaction Of both Chile
and Peru there will remain no polit-
ical question unsettled in South Amer
lea. The national limitations Of all
other countries are distinctly deter
Ynined. This alone has stood for the
disturbance Of relations south. Of the
tsthmus."
! Being somewhat familiar with the
northern Peruvian boundary tangles,
as have travelled to some extent over
the disputed territory, wish to point
out that there is still q political ques-
ton which is unsettled in South Amer
Tea, and that Is that the boundary
between Peru and Ecuador is far
from being definitely or finally agreed
Of Peru and an official snap Of Ecua-
dor shows.
1t appears that both countries do
not agree as to whether the boundary
Indicated by the Cedula real Of 1740
Mosouera protocol Of 1880, should be
respected. As a matter Of fact, the
Peruvians occupy actually a iarge
portion Of the Ecuadorian oriental
province. and the government of
Ecuador has repeatedly protested
against the pacific invasion of their
largest and most fertile province.
The two countries have been sew
eral times on the brink Of war, and
no one ignores the political Chile
Ecuador alliance, which has existed
for decades.
whan fha vr;far wae in Modrid in
1911 he learned that the King Of Spain
had failed in his efforts to mediate
the existing differences between Peru
and Ecuador.
Should the Tacna-Arica question be
solved On an equitable basis, 1t ap-
pears that 1t would be opportune for
Ecuador and Peru to settle their dis
pute here in Washington. Not until
such an agreement Is reached will
this century-old stumbling-block Of
politicians Of both countries be re-

TIardwick Declines to
Recommend Action
On Capital Removal

Governor Hardwick Thursday de-
clined request by the Bibb county
delegation in the legislature that he
recommend the submission of the
capital removal question to the peo-
pie.
A letter setting forth the Bibb
delegations request, at length and
in detail, was sent to the governor
by Representative Ben Fowler, floor
leader of the capital removal forces
for several years.
This was followed by a call by the
entire Bibb delegation of the house
and senate, who saw the governor
in his office at IL o'clock, and urged
him to recommend the submission Of
the capital removal question.
Although full details of the inter-
view were not given out, Governor
Hardwick stated that he informed
the Bibb delegation of his unwill-
ingness to advise the. legislature on
this question. It is one the legisla.
ture has heard discussed for sew
eral years and is thoroughly famil.
lar with, the governor said he told
them, and therefore one that the
legislature is capable Of deciding for
itself.
The governor further took the po-
sition, he said, that the supporters
Of the capital removal bill ought to

Daugherty to Rule
On Liquor Sales on
Government Ships

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Uncle
Sam holds open forum today to de-
termine whether he can legally con-
tinue to dispense liquors aboard his
merchant marine when outside the
three-mile limit. 49,
Attorney General Daugherty, upon
whom has fallen the task Of render.
ing final decision upon the legality
of this practice, has issued an invita-
ton to ""all interested persons" tc
attend a hearing this afternoon at
which argument, both pro and con,
may be presented. Through this
novel method he hopes to be able to
reflect in his formal opinion the true
attitude Of the people.
Adolphus Busch, third head Of the
Anhesuer-Busch Breweries, who
started all the disturbance, has not
signified his intention of appearing
in person or by representative, nor
has any of the ti-prohibition or
CARNATIONS.
Despite the prospect for a pre-
ponderance of testimony in favor Of
abolition of the present PRACTICE.
many officials believe that Attorney
General Daugherty's ruling will sus-
tain that of Elmer Schlessinger, the
shipping board counsel, under whose
decision liquor is now being sold.

Six Are Killed When
Missouri Pacific
Filler Hits Freight

KANSAS CITY, July 13.-Two
white men and four unidentified
negroes dead, forty-eight persons in
jured, some of them perhaps fatal
ly, was the toll this morning of
a wreck in the outskirts of Kansas
City last night, in which Missouri
Pacific railroad flier, No. II, west
bound, crashed head-on into a To-
cal freight train, as result of con-
fused orders.
A Shriner's picnic was in prog
ress near the scene and physicians,
members of the order, gave first
aid. Other Shriners helped clear
away the wreckage. The engines
were demolished, half the freight
train, Of Is cars, was wrecked, and
four coaches of the flier were
smashed. A wooden smoking car
was telescoped by a steel baggage
car. Most Of the injured were in
the smoking car, many of them
negroes.
Blame for the wreck was >attrib-
uted today by G.. B. Wildman, gem
eraI superintendent Of the Missouri
Pacific here, to the crew of the
wrecked passenger train. Both the
conductor and the engineer received
orders to stop at Hytex station,
and wait for the freight train to
go on a siding, Mr.. Wildman said.
Moses IS in a hospital today so Sc
verely injured that visitors are not
allowed to see him. The conductor
could not be found for a statement
here today. The passenger train
went past Hytex station.

ATTEMPT IS MADE
To TAKE LIFE OF
FRENCH PRESIDENT

PARIS, July 14.-An attempt was
made to assassinate President Mil
lerand of France, today on the
Champs Elysee as he was returning
from a military review held in con-
nection with the celebration Of Bas-
tile day.
Gustave Bouvet, 20, who fired
three shots into an automobile in
which he thought President Miller
and was riding, was arrested after
an attempt was made to lynch him.
Bouvet confessed he was an an
archist and that he intended to kill
the president.
The shots were fired into the au-
tomobile bearing Chief of Police
Naudins, which followed one hun
dred metres behind President Miller
rand's open carriage. Naudins was
not hit by the bullets.
The attack on Millerand was an
ticipated. Paris newspapers yester-
day sounded the warning that an
attempt on the life Of the president
was likely today following inflam-
matory articles carried in the radi-
cal press. ......,. .....
The secretary of President Mile
rand gave the following eyewitness
account of the attempted assassina-
ton: ...
president Millerand was riding. IL
an open carriage about 100 metres
ahead of an automobile bearing Chief
of Police NaudinS
"Naddins' automobile was just
turning from the crowded Champs
Elysee into Avenue Marigny towards
the residence Of Millerand.
"a man stepped out of the crowd
with a pistol in his hand.
Three shots were fired at Maui
>din's automobile.
Thousands surged upon the at
tempted assassin. He was knocked
down, trampled and beaten. Police
rescued him from those intent upon
tKlng h life and hurried him Off
to prison
part of the crowd rushed back tc
the carriage, containing the presi-
dent. Stay back. They're trying
to shoot you! was the warning that
came to President Millerand from
hundreds of persons"
AS the news of the attempt on
the life of Millerand spread through
out Paris. which was celebrating
Bastile day, it's national holiday,
hundreds of thousands rushed down
the Champs Elysee toward the
presidents residence.
Soldiers and police formed cor
don around the presidents residence
The attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Millerand was made while
Paris was celebrating the annive--
sary of the fall of the Bastile in
1889 which marked the overthrow of
the monarchy.
The Bastile in which countless
atrocities had been committed by
despots of France, was completely
destroyed.
Celebration of Bastile day in
France is similar to Independence
day celebrated in the United States.
Bouvet said to the police:
cit was at the carriage of the
president of the republic intended
firing. However, did not wish to
kill anyone. I, wished only to make
a demonstration that would attract
attention to the condition of the
proletariat."
