New Secretary of State Sworn
In by Justice Butler in
Simple Ceremony
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS.

Frank =. Kellogg, former
United States Senator from Min
nesota and late ambassador at the
Court of st. James, became Sec
rotary of State today in success
sion to Charles Evans Hughes,
who retires to private life after
four years at the helm of the
ship of state under the late Presi-
dent Harding and President Cool
idge.
The new Secretary of State
was sworn in by Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court Pierce
Butler, who was appointed to the
highest bench from Minnesota, in
the presence Of few close
friends, members of the State De-
partment and the Minnesota dele
cation in Congress.
Ceremony Simple.
The utmost simplicity marked the
event and within a few moments
after Secretary Hughes entered the
State Department offices with Mr..
kellogg he had transferred to him
the responsibility for conducting
American foreign affairs and walked
out, without a care in the world,
ready to sail for Bermuda for several
weeks of quiet and rest before re-
entering the practice Of law in New
York city.
The two men were in vivid con-
trast as they stood before Justice
Butler-Hughes tall, straight and
his far famed whiskers adding to MS
commanding and distinguished APP
pearance: Kellogg, small, round
shouldered and lacking in the
exuberant vitality and personality
of the retiring statesman.
Mr.. Kellogg was visibly nervous
as he raised his right hand to take
the oath from Justice Butler ana
his hand trembled noticeably While
Justice Butler was speaking.

HUGHES SOLVED
BOUNDARY
PROBLEM
Last Official Act of Retiring
Secretary Was Concluding
of South American Pact

The last official act of Charles
Evans Hughes as Secretary Of State
was the conclusion of an arbitra-
ton agreement between Brazil, Co.
lombia and Peru to settle a long
standing boundary controversy be-
tween these South American coun.
tries at the headwaters of the
Amazon river.
Announcement Of the agreement
was made at the State Department
shortly after Hughes retires as Sec
rotary.
Mr.. Hughes suggestions for the
settlement of the controversy,
which has been agreed to by the
three governments, were that Brazil,
withdraw it's observation regarding
the boundary treaty between CO.
lombia and Peru; the ratification by
Colombia and Peru of the boundary
treaty; and the signing Of con,
Vention between Brazil and Colon
bia by which the boundary between
those countries would be agreed to
on the Apaporis-Tabatinga line
Brazil agreeing to establish in per
petuity, in favor Of Colombia, freedom
of navigation on the Amazon and

YOUNG NURSE IS
SOUGHT BY
FRIENDS
Miss A. L. Driggers' Where
abouts Unknown Since
She Left Hospital

Miss Anna Lee Driggers, beautiful
eighteen-year-old blonde with bob
bed hair. is wandering about the
streets of Washington. penniless
and jobless but too proud to ask
her friends for money to return
to her home in Cumberland. Md,
whence she came a short time ago
as a student nurse.
Fired with ambition, it is said
Miss Driggers left her home with
her parents consent and came to
Washington. She kept rather aloof
while here. not divulging her social
activities to her friends or to any
of the other girls who lived with
her in the George Washington Uni
versity Nurses Home, at Thirteenth
and L streets northwest.
When advised that she was not
adapted to the work of nursing, it
was said that she became Respondent
and sad. Her pride led her to hand
in her resignation a day or two
after a conference with the officials
at. the hospital where she was
serving her apprenticeship, but no
amount Of argument could persuade
her to remain until she got enough
money to get home on.
With her sudden disappearance
the police and hospital authorities
notified her aunt and uncle, a
minister in Cumberland, and they
asked her friends to search for her
here. When she left the nurses
home it was said she took her
trunk with her. An investigation
showed that she had not made APP
plication at any other hospital for
work.
Any communication concerning
Miss Driggers' whereabouts is re-
quested to be made to friend,
Miss Watts, residing at the Newton
apartments, 1440 X street north
west.
