.ANCON DISPUTE MEET
OPENED BY HUGHES
Chile and Peru Will Attempt Setuo'
ment Of 4o-Year Controversy
over Treaty

Washington.--In an atmosphere OF
renewed hopefulness the plenipoteo-
tlsrIes Of Chile and Peru met Monday
in the Hall Of Americas to attempt So
lntion of the difficulties that have es-
tranged their governments for more
than a generation.
Convened in Washington at the in
yjtatIon of President Harding, the con-
ference was opened with an ADDRESS
of welcome by Secretary Hughes, de-
liyered in the presence OF notable
gathering Of government officials and
diplomats from every part OF the
world Response was made for Chlle
by Luis Izuierdo and for Peru by Mel
lton Porras and then the two delega-
tons retired for private consultation in
their new effort to apply the Confer
ence plan OF diplomacy to international
relationship Of the Western Hemis-
pheres.'
Although the seriousness Of the prob
lem is everywhere realized, there was
feeling here that the delegates would
come together under conditions notably
auspiciOuS. Both governments ap-
preached the negotiations in spirit
Of amity regarded in diplomatic circles
as so unusual as to give much promise
Of settlement.
At the same time, among the dele
gates themselves, and among officials
who have intimate knowledge of the
40-year controversy over the treaty OF
AncOn, there has been apparent ten
dency to warn against overconfidence
Quick results are not expected and
there are some who believe that in the
end the outstanding issues must be left
| to arbitration.
1t now is considered improbable that
the United States will in any way be
represented in the negotiations unless
arbitration becomes necessary and both
| delegations agree to appeal directly tO

an apartment building under construc-

Of a wealthy residence district.
Starting just before dark at several
points on the first floor the flames
spread rapidly through the 100000

fighting apparatus in the northern Sec

1t was brought under control with half
the building in ruins.
The entire Rogers Park police force
was used to keep back the crowds,
estimated at more than 5000 persons.
