PERU IS BALKING OVER 7ACNA.ARICA
Reported Unwilling to Accept
 KelIogg'S Plan

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Jan. A. LPl-An intimation that Peru will re- fuse 10 accept Secretary of State kellogg's proposal in the Tacna- Africa controversy is seen in new years message from President Le- guia, published prominently by La Nacion.
 Secretary Kellogg proposed that Peru and Chile end their dispute over the sovereignty of the provinces by ceding them to Bolivia. The Peruvian presidents message to La Nacion says:
 T hope that this year of 1927 will bring the so much desired solution, although it appears yet very far away.
 T say this because the ideal for mula destined to settled this serious matter maintaining peace in Amer ica, is not that formula of con- venience which proposes to substi- ute for money the claims of right, but another one which should be more in conformity with the spirit of our times and the mentality of our race, which subordinates the petty commercial ambitions to the superior ideals of justice and honor."
 Santiago, Chile, Jan. 4.-fPl-An attack on the attempts of the United States to settle the Tacna-Arica con- troyersy between Peru and Chile is made by the Ultimas Noticias, an afternoon newspaper published by Fl Mercurio. The latter is the paper which recently inveighed against the return to Chile of American Ambas- sador Collier.
 Referring to reports that the United States would offer a new proposal in case Secretary of State Kellogg's present plan fell through, the Ultimas Noticias says this would be useless. Failure of the Tacna- Africa attempts thus far together with the United States attitude in Nicaragua and the complications in Mexico, would deprive any new move by the United States of interest and prestige. it asserts.
 South America. Europe and Asia would regard such a move as further

Donahue of Waterbury must have to cause hostilities. The Waterbury center. however, was in an ugly mood from having three technical fouls called on him.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-04

The Waterbury boys seemed ig- norant of the technicalities of the game, such as keeping the feet in the central circle at the jump and not molesting man putting the ball in play from out of bounds, and when Avery began to warn them and call fouls, they admitted they didn't play that way in the Brass City. Once impressed with the fact that 1t WAS played that way in New Britain, the visitors submitted and showed they could play with regard for these points as we'll as the next team.

 The prosecution holds that it was the beating administered by Kelly which caused the death of Raymond in a hospital three days later. Jungle" declared that when Kelly returned to the party blood was spattered on his coat sleeve.
 Jungle" sent the court room into rounds of laughter. when he de- scriped the Hove language" used by his employer and the actress. Dep uty District Attorney F. J. Dennison had asked the houseboy if the couple ever conversed in "pig Latin" ex- pIdlIliiIb IL CD any oli dASC eVuANIu8 language.
 "Yes," answered Jungle. "some- times they call Hollywood language"

One of these let- ters, in which the film actor spoke of the actress in their code lan- guage as "My brat face. my wife" Jungle" said he himself mailed.
