COUP SUCCESSFUL
Military Committee To
Take Over Affairs OF
Southern Republic.

LIMA Peru. Aug. %. U.p)--
President Augusta b. Leguia has
resigned and the government is in
the hands of military committee.
The president has left the coun-
try on a warship, officials at the
presidential palace said.
Sancho Cerro. leader of the rcvo-
lutionarv troops who seized the city
of Arequipa on Friday, has been
invited to become minister Of war
in the new cabinet.
The overthrow of the Leguia re-
gime after its long tenure of office
was sudden and dramatic. The
president conferred most of the
night with members of the military
junta, and wrote out his resigna-
tion.
At a. m, it was said at the
palace, he boarded the Peruvian
cruiser Grau at Callao, the port OF
Lima, and the cruiser sailed imme-
diatelv with the intention of trans
ferring the president to a steamer.
His destination was not made
known.
The military iunta was in confer
ence at the offices of the army
general staff, shaping its future
plans.
Military circles said the iunta
would present Leguia s resignation
to congress. and later dissolve con
gress.
LIMA, Peru, Aug. p. W.n)-Pre-
sident Augusta b. Leguia announced
today that he had decided to resign
| in view of the ''difficult situation
created by the Arequipa revolutions
ary movement.
! 4 military committee was formed
to take charge of the government.
The president. who has been the
object of several assassination plots
recently, had held office since 1919,
having been reelected twice. He was
reelected last year for a six-year
term.
In recent years he had been "a
powerful figure, controlling the
government program with a firm
hand despite various plots against
his administration.
Official announcement of the Pre-
sident s decision was made after an
all night meeting with military lead
ers, at which the Arequipa revolu-
tion was discussed.
The military committee, which IS
headed by Minister of War General
Manuel Ponce, was sworn in before
Legua. Later an airplane was dis
patched to Arequipa to offer San
chez Cerro, leader of the revolt, the
opportunity of coming to Lima and
assuming the post of minister of

FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR

A lawyer or at least man familiar
with legal work, is most desirable for the
office of public administrator, an office
which has been efficiently filled in In
perial county by Attorney S. P. Williams,
who asks reelection at the August pri-
mary.
Although considered a minor office,
the public administrator is frequently
called upon to handle estates of consid-
cradle size, and one trained in an eXecu-
tive capacity is most essential for eff
cient conduct of the office.
Attorney Williams has faithfully car
ried out his work in the past and the
fact that he is willing to continue do
ing so is an indication of a real desire to
serve the public.
There are times when carrying out the
law governing the settlement of estates
necessitates decided sacrifice of time
and energy. especially for a profession
al man. Such instances Mr. Williams
has accepted as part of his job and has
handled them as faithfully as those
cases which do not entail such a sacri-
flee.
The Press endorses him for the office
he seeks and believes the voters of 1mper-
ial county will recognize the desirahility
of having trained man in this office.

was because he was a porcupine. or

sharp. stickery spines. These splnes'

GLENN CURTISS' RECORD

The death of Glenn Curtiss removes
from the scene one more of aviation'S
great pioneers-and, at the same time,
emphasizes the extreme youth of this
spectacular game which he helped bring
to maturity.
Curtiss was not an old man, in any
sense of the word. Yet CurtisS was con-
nected with aviation from its earliest in
fancy. To the Wright brothers, of course.
goes the credit for making the first air.
plane flight; but Curtiss was one of the
leaders in developing the crude planes OF
the early days into the rangy, efficient
machines of today.
1t is barely two decades since Curtiss
amazed the nation by flying an airplane
all the way from Albany to New York
City. In that day, that was nearly as
sensational a stunt as a transatlantic
flight is today. And yet, so rapid has
been aviation'S progress that Curtlss
himself lived to see cross-country mall
and passenger lines in daily operation.
and but for his untimely death he would
undoubtedly have witnessed even more
striking developments.
A good share of the credit for all of
this development must go to Curtlss HIM
self His Albany -to-New York flight
was only one of a series OF actions that
made aviations wings secure. Curtlss
flew extensively in day when every
flight was a genuine, risk. He expert
mented, studied and worked to give the
makeshift planes of those early days
safety and endurance. The present state
of aviation is in part at least, a tribute
to his labors.
All of this, of course, does not detract
in the slightest from the achievements
of the Wright brothers. They are pre-
eminent in the history of aviation, and
no one can share their distinction. But
Curtiss played an extremely important
part. A country that has made the air
plane an integral part of its organization
owes him a vast debt. His departure is
a distinct loss.

assistance to, Mrs Westerfield, who. it

county librarian is decided testimonial
to her integrity and efficiency as coun-
ty official and pledge that this same
high service will be continued as long as
she may be in office.
Mrs Westerfield's campaign is decld-
edly different from that of the ordinary

into it in even. the smallest degree. She
realizes only that there is a public pos
