MRS. DENN|STOUN
 LOSES AT LAST
Judge OVerridS Jury's Verdict
 for Big Damages
By The Associated Press.

ny me Assoclated Press.
 London, April 3. Justice Sir Henry McCardie delivered his re- served judgment in the Dennistoun case this morning. He held that the alleged agreement for Mrs. Dorothy Muriel Dennistoun's support by her former husband after their divorce was void and could not be enforced in law. Therefore he ruled that Mrs. Denhistoun's claim for dam ages for breach% of contract had failed "A s7"Is-Sg
 The judR9ient sets aside the re- cent verdict awarding Mrs. Dennis toun 5000 pounds for breach of contract.
 The plaintiff, however, recovers the total amount of 472 pounds IS shilings for sums loaned to Lieu tenant Colonel Dennistoun, and which he has not returned.
 She is also awarded the costs of the action, except for the part in volving the allegation of breach of contract. This section Of the costs, the court held, the defendant is entitled to recover.
 The court ordered general stay in execution until further order, and with the right to appeal.
 The case created senation tbrouo-1,o out JTDuIao5 honoueo os tho social position f"those involved and the character of the charges re- vealed in court.
 Lieutenant Colonel Dennistoun, who is now the husband of the Dowager Countess Carnarvon, was accused by his former wife, among other things, of countcnanclng her admittedly illicit relations with the late Sir John Cowans, to advance his own military career.
 In believing his judgment, Sir Henry deplored the fact that the dis agreeable aspects of the case had to be made public, but he added that the question of publicity was not one for the courts to decide. He quoted Lord Shaw in another fam ous caN2 that publicity Is the soul of justice"
 The judge added that he agreed with his colleague, Justice Shear man, who presided at the recent sen sational Warehouse trial, that leases like the present do not in any way represent the general life of the well-to-do people of England; they give a wholly false impression of English social and family lifc."

U. s. FLEET OFF
 ON LONG CRUISE
Ships Leave San Pedro on Six
 Months World Trip

San Pedro. Cal. April s.-sight- seers thronged the heights over looking the ocean here today to wave farewell to Uncle Sam's armada, off for six-months' cruise to the other side of the world. Aboard the U. s. s. Guyana, oil carrier, discovery was made that emery dust had been poured into the vessels main bearings. First reports were that the Cuyama's en- zines had been badly damaged, but officers announced last night that the ship would sail with the fleet today as originally scheduled, and that such repairs as might be neces- sary would be made at San Fran cisco.
 In the column of hundred ves- sells comprising the combined United States fleet which was to form off the breakwater with the arrival from San Diego of destroyer squad- rons, cruisers and auxiliaries were eleven battleships, eight light cruis- CTS, 5s destroyers, four mine-laying destroyers, six mine-sweepers and a train of hospital, fuel and supply ships.
 The fleet is due in San Francisco Sunday. and 10 days later will sail for the. Hawaiian Islands, over which the army and navy will wspe 8 mimic war.

London, April 3.-The Captown correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph represents the situation In Southwest Africa, where the Reho- boths have revolted, as rather pathetic. Under German rule, he says, the tribe was ranked as nom- inally independent, and had It's own parliament.
 During the war the tribesmen re- fused to fight against Great Britain, and joined General Botha's invading army. Since the war they have been allowed to retain their parliament, but have been denied complete in- dependence. They are said to be act ing under the influence of young ex- tremists, insisting that they are a religious community and firmly be- lieving that they will be protected by providence.
 Rehoboth. a Biblical name, was given to the tribe by missionaries during the period of German sov- ereignty over Southwest Africa

FLIRTING FISH,
 SANITARY MONKS
Explorer Tells of Little Apes
 That Brush Teeth

New York, April 3.--Fish that ilirt and fish that climb trees, mon keys that brush their teeth after ev- cry meal and again before going to bed at night. live Teddy Bears. vest pocket deer. birds that sleep upside e down-these were only flow of the animals described last night by Car veth Wells, r. R. c. S., explorer. in a lecture reciting his six years of adventure in the jungles of the Ma lay Peninsular. 't. -'
 Mir. Wells lecture. a feature of the Association Night" at the New York city Bar association, was H. lustrated with stereopticon views of many of the strange animals he de- seribed.
 The tree climbing fish was one which came out of the water to play on the beach. It was frolicsome creature, according to MT. Wells, who said that when you tickle its tummy it swells up with air and bounces about for sheer happiness. '
 Another finny freak was the fiirt- ing fish, the only swimming animal known to have genuine wink. This 'coquettish creature, Mir. Wells said. was known as the periopthalmus schloserii. which is Greek for "eye winker."
 The live Teddy Bear, when full grown, he said, was fifteen inches high, and looked precisely like the toy.
 Even smaller was the vest pocket deer, which measured seven inches from hoof to horn. s...
 There was a lizard which would flip off it's tall at will.
 There was plant so sensitive that it fiattened itself against the ground when one stamped near 1t, but yet so strong that it resisted the fiercest typhoons.
 There was the hygienic monkey. so careful of his health that after every meal and before going to bed at night he repaired to the nearest stream and brushed his teeth with the aid of the first finger of his right hand.
 There was the bird which slept upside down.
 But then" MT. Wells concluded. everything Is upside down in the Malay jungfes."
 To which there was a loud mur- mur of concurrence.

PERU'S NOTE ID COOLIDGE ON WAY
Explains Stand Regarding Boun. dary Mediation >.

Washington. April 3.--Its formal transmission by the state department today to President Coolidge was the first step in the consideration here Of the communication of the Peru yian government relating to the presidents Tacna-Arica arbitration award. Meanwhile, since its delivery at the department late yesterday, there had been no statement either there or at the Peruvian embassy as to it's contents beyond the ad- mission that 1t did have to do with the award.
 AS learned from other sources, however, the communication, ad- dressed as memorial to the arbitra- tor, requests that he modify in sev- eral particulars the conditions of the plebiscite to determine sovereignty of the two, provinces with the object of further protecting and extending the rights of Peruvian nationals in the voting.
 The communication, a copy of which was provided for transmission to the Chilean government Is under stood to carry at least the intima- ton that the Peruvian government would find 1t difficult if not impos- sible to participate in the plebscite without the additional safeguards sought,
 Replacement of Chilean military and police authorities in Tacna and Africa is one step the president is requested to take. While asking preferably for the use of American troops or marines for this purpose, 1t is understood the communication states that the establishment of a native constabulary would be sat- isfactory alternative, which would indicate that the Peruvian govern ment itself recognizes what is con- sidered to be the impracticability of 50 using American forces.
 Other major requests have to do with stipulations in the award as to voting eligibility. The Peruvian gov- ernment contends that all Peruvians who resided in the provinces for five years and were subsequently, ex- pelled by the Chilean authorities should have the right to vote. As to the awards disqualification of all persons found guilty of criminal of lenses, request is made for re-trial in all cases in which it is contended convictions during the periods of Chilean occupation have resuluted from trumped-up charges.

 Some good pitching was also ex- hibited by the Cardinals, who won 8 to 0, from the Seals at San Fran cisco.

Jean also has acquired with his service McLoughlin's old tendency 10 footfault,and endeavors to offset it by standing foot or more be- hind the baseline.

Veteran tennis followers at the national indoor tournament see in the fast service of Jean Borotra the nearest approach to the cannonball smash of Maurice Mclaughlin since the "comet' flashed out of the west 13 years ago.
