In the claim of Alfred Venturi of 2S Queen street, this city, against Joseph Luzietti of 6S Belmont street, this city, employer, and the Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America, insurer, an award of s175 has been made by stipulation.
 Compensation Commissioner Leo J.

Russians RepulSed
To Abide By Treaty

Washington, August 22 P}-While "preserving its territorial sovereign ty and adopting precautionary meas ures of self-defense against external invasions, the Chinese government is still intent upon abiding by the terms of the Kellogg anti-war treaty and is ready at any time to resume negotiations looking to settlement of it's dispute with the Soviet govern ment.
 This is made clear in the note handed to the state department by Minister Wu. setting forth the posi- ton of his government in it's con- troversy with Russia over the Chi cnse Eastern Railway. Identic notes were presented to the diplo- matice representatives here of other logg pact, and, it is understood, to their governments by the Chinese representative in their capitals.
 Charge Misrepresentation
 The note charges the Soviet gov ernment with misrepresentation of facts in the controversy and with "whitewashing' illegal acts of its officials in China. The Soviet gov ernment. it said, violated provisions of a Chinese Russian treaty of 1924 by directing propaganda against the Chinese political and social system. and also used revenues obtained from the railway to aid counter rev. olutionary movements in China.

WASHINGTON TAKES
 ID LATIN DISHES
South American Foods Become
 Craze at National Capital

Washington, Aug. 22 P-The craze for Latin-American dishes is sweeping Washington and spreading to all parts of the country.
 Fashionable dinner parties start with cubes of alligator pear served in hot consomme and wind up with queso y dulce-fruit paste and cheese.
 Following the example of Alfon- so Pezet, former ambassador from Peru, it has become the smart stunt for host himself to concoct some tasty Latin American dish.
 Alfonso Pezet, while in this coun- try, won national fame with the specialized dishes which he served at his dinner parties. Many of these dishes are now on the menus of lead ing hotels in Washington, New York and other cities.
 Ambassador Pezet and his wife were among the most popular cou- pies who ever have been in Washing. ton. Their dinner parties were some- 'HihS lo ui cdlll dDoul III dQNanCe and to remember months afterward.
 Soon after the guests assembled the ambassador donned white coat and cap. Then, with the gestures of an artist, he concocted a South American dish which fairly made the guests mouths water with it's Savory aroma. When dinner was served the ambassador slipped into the role of host and appeared at the head of the table in faultless evening attire to listen with pleased express sion while the guests raved over his wonderful cookery.
 Most of the n-American dip- lomats in Washington have their own special blend of coffee sent them from South America. Some nave their own coffee plantations Instead of quick boil or percolat- ing method they reduce the coffee to thick syrup then stir it into hot milk. The result is said by con- nosseurs 10 be the last word in cof- fee making.
 Chefs of ministers from Latin America are now teaching the chefs of fashionable Washingtonians this coffee making method as well as the

He urged an ln- tense effort to reach a compromise and proposel that failing agreement, a full public session of the confer- ence be called Saturday to enable the delegates to set forth their views on the, situation before the world.
 Pessinism Apparent
 Opinion respecting the chances of the creditor powers finding com- promise for their differences is pre- ponderantly adverse. There were reports this morning, however, that the French were getting closer to the British on the question of Brit ish annuities, but that there was still important contention between them as 10 the amount of money due Germany from Great Britain as the balance arising from the sales of sequestered property.
 Paul Hymans. Belgian minister of foreign affairs, said on leaving the conference room:
 We decided to continue today and tomorrow the private conver- sations already begun in the hope of arriving at an agreement. Every body wants to come to an accord"
 The meeting of the conference political committee, which was scheduled for this afternoon was postponed until tomorrow morning. This was taken to mean that at the meeting of the six national delega- tions it was discovered it was no use in going further in the discus sion of evacuation of the Rhineland at present.
 The meeting today was less emo tional than that of yesterday, at which Dr. Gustav Stresemann Ger man foreign minister, delivered himself of his greatest plaints.
 Discussion continued in soft tone with the former allies lined up generally against the idea that the Reich should of it's own volition cancel the Dawes plan and pay its separations under the Young plan even though the latter was not yet approved.

SEES DESTRUCTION
 OF GRAND CANYON
Biologist Says Erosion Is Eating
 Away Natural Wonder

Los Angeles, Calf., Aug. 22.-The same powerful forces that createu the majestic Grand Canyon of the Colorado river are now very graou : ally destroying this wonderful speci- men of natures handiwork pr. William Morris Davis, emeritus pro- lessor of geology at Harvard, in a summer session lecture at the un'- versity of California, declared the Grand Canyon is disappearing so ra- pidly that it will be only few more million years until the deep chasln will have entirely vanished, together with the high plateau for a nun dred miles on each side.
 Moreover, Dr. Davis said the pres. ent Grand Canyon is the fifth won- der of the kind constructed by the forces of nature in that general direction. The other four have all been destroyed by the same forces of nature, and the fifth, now at about the zenith of it's glory, is doomed to go the way of it's prede- cessors.
 "A visitor often wonders, upon his view of the canyon, what enormous world disturbance could have hap pened to open this great crack" pr. Davis said. But study will reveal it is not a crack. It is opened out into a V shape, but the walls an1 formations on either side quickly n1 the stone being forced apart.
 ''The Colorado river has builded the Grand Canyon. It is purely the work of the river. cutting away con- tnually through thousands and mill lions of years, that has caused it.. The V shape we now see is largely the work of erosion. The action of the elements on those sturdy walls is gradually f1attening them out. The river cannot cut much deeper for it will approach sea level. But the work of erosion will go on until those plateaus now rearing in many places to a height of 5000 feet will disappear for 100 miles on either side of tfe river.
 Tt is an enormous task thus far accomplished over period of many millions of years. But really, it IS only beginning.
 'I refer to this vast period of time required to build and destroy the canyon as a cycle of erosion There is evidence to support the theory that five such cycles have passed during the life of the world. Juds- ing by the past, we can allow our imagination much latitude in guess ing the future duration of the world"
 The throwing up of the high pla- teau is the mystery unsolved by geologists. said Dr. Davis. After the plateau is once thrown up, the river cuts the canyon, then, joined by the forces of erosion. it eats away the entire plateau. Five such plateaus have been .builded," he stated, and four of them have disappeared. The fifth is now becoming the prey Of the elements.
