REOPEN MEET
OF PERUVTANS
AND CHILEANS
Boliuio Is Denied Any
Part ir, the Con-
terence.

Washington. May 19.-CBy The
Associated Press. AFTER a two
day recess, during which both sides
are understood to have taken steps
to inform themselves more fully re-
garding the attitude of their gov
ernments, the Chilean-Peruvian
conference was called together
again today with the delegates
hopefHl that refinite results soon
would be attained.
Details of the discussions again
were kept in closest confidence, al
though the Chileans disclosed that
they still were holding to their
attitude that the validity of the
treaty of Ancon was not open to
question, and that they were here
to consider ''fulfillment" of the
pact's unenforced provisions.
Meantime, any possibility that
Bolivia might be given a seat in the
conference appeared to have been
removed by a statement by the
Chilean foreign office in Santiago,
saying that such a proposition was
not susceptible of being consid-
cred" The announcement occa-
stoned no surprise here, since the
ATTITUDE of Chile ON that question
already had been well established
in previous responses to Bolivia's s
repeated claims for recognition.
Delegates Won't Tall.
Despite the unwillingness of the
Chilean and Peruvian delegates to
talk about details of the moves al
ready made, it was learned today
that the conference has progressed
further in its discussions than the
ordinary observer might guess
from the surface appearance of the
official announcements. AS a gen
eral plan, the delegations are at
tempting to deal first with subjects
more or less collateral in their
nature and giving most promise to
quick solution; but they have found
it impossible to put aside entirely
the major issues, even in the open
ing phases of their conversations.
So far the exchanges still are in
a stage described in diplomacy as
preliminary and informal" how
ever, and how soon the main prob
lens of the conference can be mar
rowed to a point of decision cannot
be foretold with authority.

Illinois Labor Department Figures
Show Unemployment Decreased
Less Than Per Cent

Chicago, May ia reduction OF
less than L per cent in the number
of unemployed in Illinois was made
during April, according to figures
compiled by the advisory board of
the Illinois department of labor
from figures presented by 943 in
stitutions. Seasonable reductions
and expansion of forces is advanc-

son for SO small a decrease in un-
employed ranks.
The strike of coal miners April
1 slightly affected the figures. The
strike threw 94.7 per cent of the
Illinois miners out of work.
Despite the small reduction the
outlook is regarded as promising
by the board. A building boom,
said to be spreading over Illinois,
is reported responsible for the pre-

Minnesota Woman Is Sure of De.
feating Senator Kellogg for
Democratic Nomination.

Ortonville, Mimi, May 19.-The
campaign of Mrs. Anna D. OIeson
of CIoquet for the Democratic nom
ination for the United States sena-
torship was in full swing today, in
augurated in a speech before an
audience of farmers here yesterday.
Mrs. Oleson criticised Senator
Frank B. Kellogg for his vote in
the Newberry contest and express
ed the belief that the people would
defeat the junior senator from
Minnesota at the election next fall.
We have been taught from child
hood that seats in the United States
congress were meant to be filled
only by those lawfully elected by
the people and that they were not
for sale" she said.
Il believe this is a Democratic
year, because the Republicans have
not lived up to their promises. They
promised prosperity. No one has
received it except Will Hays"
