GOVERNMENT is
TAKEN OVER BY
MILITIA CHIEFS
Leader of Rebel Forces Is
Offered High Post in
New Cabinet.
ACTION COMES SWIFTLY
Drama Features Sudden
Overthrow of Leguia'S
Long Regime.
ACTION COMES SWIFTLY

BV United Press
LIMA, Peru, Aug. 25.-President
Augusta B. Leguia has resigned and
the government is in the hands Of
military committee.
Sanchez Cerro, leader of the rev.
dictionary troops who seized the
city of Arequipa on Friday has been
invited to become minister of war
in the new cabinet.
Overthrow of the Leguia regime
after its long tenure of Office came
suddenly and dramatically. The
president conferred most of the
night with members of the military
iunta, and wrote out his resigna-
ton.
Boards Peruvian Cruiser
At S a. m, it was said at the pal
ace, he boarded the Peruvian cruiser.
Grau at Callao, the port of Lima,
and the cruiser sailed Immediately.
Events of the last few days in the
capital have been exciting, but the
disorder was less than might have
been expected.
AT first, the cabinet was to have
been headed by General Pedro Pablo
Martinez, and other older officers,
but the younger military element re-
fused to accept them.
General Ponce, who eventually was
chosen to head the government, told
the United Press as he left the
palace this morning:
1.-THE movement was engendered by
public opinion all over the country,
and was seconded by the forces of
the army and navy. 1t began in the
southern departments. President
Leguia bowed to the inevitable and
promised to resign to congress, turn
ing over the executive power to the
military junta."
Crowds Parade Streets
Ponce added that the junta pro-
posed to initiate a policy of con-
cord, progress and moral rehabilita-
ton.
Crowds today were parading the
streets shouting Long live the army
of freedom.
Leguia's valedictory at the close
of his long rule in Peru, where he
was almost g. dictator, was striking
When the military junta had
made it finally clear that he must
get out, he bowed and said:
Nov those who take over the
power will see the bitter difficulties
of government"
Worldwide slump in commodity
prices was a contributing factor to
the difficulties of President Leguia's
administration which led to its over
throw, according to authoritative
quarters here.
Peruvian export trade was de-
pressed in turn by low prices of
sugar, poor prices for wool, and
sharp slump in value Of copper, and
the fact that lower grades of cot
ton virtually were unstable.

WARNINGS ARE GIVEN
ON FAKE SOLICITORS
Unauthorized Use of Names of
Universities Here Revealed
by Officials.

warning was issued today by the au-
thorltleS OF George. Washington and
Georgetown Universities against the I'M
authorized use of the names of these
institutions by group of men in the
city engaged in magazine sales and ad-
vertising solicitation.
Writing to the Chamber of Com
merce, DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent OF George Washington, said:
Some of these solicitors claim to be
students who are working their way
through the university by obtaining
subscriptions to we'll known magazines
while others are attempting to secure
advertising for university student pub
locations which do not exist.
II should appreciate the cooperation
of the Chamber of Commerce in max
ing it known to the merchants and cit
liens of Washington that the university
has not authorized the use of its name
in this way and that students of the
university who are engaged in soliciting
advertising for legitimate student pub
locations have been instructed to ident-
ify themselves and the publication they
represent by letter.
Rev. r. Rush Rankin, S. j., dean OF
Georgetown University, also said today
that his attention had been called to 8
number of instances wherein magazine
solicitors had used the name of the
university without authorization. He
said one such group of solicitors hac
forged the names of the dean to a. let.

ANALYSIS IS HELD
MEANS TO MARITAL SUCCESS
Three Types Predominant,
According to Chicagoan,
on Capital Visit.
Change of Profession Advised
to Musician Who Turned
Successful Artist.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.

II husbands and wives fail to agree
and live happily forever after" it is
doubtless because they are not chemi-
cally suited to each other, according to
DR.. E. Tulley Yonge of Chicago, who
has recently arrived at the Willard on
short Visit to Washington and who is
an exponent OF chemical analysis for
human beings, having lectured at vari-
Gus CLUBS throughout the country on
this subject.
The human body is composed of 16
elements, and the possession or lack of
certain chemicals are the reasons for
different types existing among men and
women. Three types which predomi-
nate, asserts DR.. Yonge, are the sodium,
phosphorus and calcium, and the char
acteristicS of individuals in which these
chemical elements predominant are
largely influenced by the chemicals.
1T is absolutely fatal for a woman
with a sodium chemical to marry a
man of the calcium type" DR.. Yonge
declared. For instance, persons with
the chemical sodium predominating are
inclined to be restless, alert and quick.
They have a strong dramatic sense, love
the out of doors and also love to be
out at night. They should sleep late
in the morning, as that is the time they
get the best rest.
Should Reverse Sleep.
ION the othei hand, a person of the
calcium type Sl>ould go to bed at sun
set and get up at dawn in order to be
in the best physical condition. In dis
position. persons of the calcium type
are apt to be skeptical, critical and
quiet. They are good listeners and en-
JOY being entertained.
1.-THE pure American type is generally
the potassium. They are lively, versa
tile, healthy, born to mingle with 9TH
ers and make friends easily. They are
either very happy or very much down.
hearted, and when in the latter mood
a walk in the fresh air is suggested as
highly beneficial"
DR.. Yonge contends that proper diet
and proper eating will greatly aid in
supplying chemicals necessary to i'm
prove health, disposition and character.
"I do not believe in dieting to the
extent of starving ones SELF" DR.. Yonge
explained. "On the contrary, my sys-
tenn is based on eating the proper foods
and not starving. BY correct eating it
is possible to lose a pound a day, if it
its necessary to that individual. I my
self have lost as much as that at GER
tain times when I felt it was necessary
to do So.''
Is Keen Analyst.
DR.. Yonge is a keen analyst of hui
man character based on the physical
aspects of the individual. Upon her
arrival recently in the city of New Or
leans, she was sent the photographs of
seven prominent citizens of that city
completely unknown to her. A request
was made to analyze the characters OF
the men from their photographs. This
was done with an accuracy amazing to
the individuals whom she analysed.

CONSCIENCE: BRINGS
RUM CHASE ARREST.
Driver Alarmed on Seeing
Police Car, Speeds Up
and Causes Race.

The guilty conscience of an unsus-
pected rumrunner involved him in
race at high speed with police through
dozen city streets and resulted in
his final capture early this morning
after his car had thrown a tire. He was
arrested and 336 quarts of alleged liquor
seized.
Twisting and turning through the
fashionable residential district of north
Sixteenth street, the fugitive succeeded
in keeping the high-powered police car
of Sergt. George M. Little and his liquor
squad at a distance until his machine
struck sudden rise in the road on Kan
SaS avenue and threw tire. The jar also
broke number of the containers in
which he was transporting the contra
band and apprized the pursuers for the
first time of the nature of their quarry.
Gradually Close Up Gap.
Sergt. Little had driven through Rock
Creek Park and was about to emerge
on Sixteenth street from Sheriff. drive
when he saw a small and innocent
appearing closed car proceeding south
on Sixteenth street at moderate speed.
Being in hurry the officers gradually
were closing up the distance between
the two machines when the speed of
the other car increased
car, followed suit. and the two ma
chimes continued to go faster and faster
until they attained a speed of almost
mile minute, with the officers de-
termined to learn why the driver of
the fugitive car should attempt to eS-
cape.
The chase proceeded south on Six
tenth street and Colorado avenue to
Ingraham street, thence east to Four
JIyhn Io fITr ao6
south to Iowa avenue. From there the
cars speeded to Decatur street, where
the rum car driver turned east, con-
tinuing to the end of the street, mar
rowly avoided clay bank and drove
over rough ground to Fourth street,
south on Fourth to Buchanan, west to
Eighth street and south to Kansas
avenue.
About this time, Sergt. Little declared,
their speed was SIS miles an hour. 1t
was here that the bump in the road
was struck
Although minus a rear tire the fee
ing automobile continued at a hardly
lessened speed to Spring road and from
there to Sixteenth street again. Here
the driver turned south, and about 100
feet from the intersection drew up to
the curb and halted.
Il give up; I know when I've had
enough" he remarked as the police
car came alongside Il guess I'm pretty
lucky didn't get killed or kill some of
you fellows"
The alleged liquor was found in a
compartment in the rear of his car
He was taken to the tenth precinct
and booked as Syloan PROVOST Taylor,
80, of the 1000 block of Columbia road.
Charges of reckless driving and trans
portation and possession of liquor were
lodged against him.
Sergt Little quoted the manfas saying
that he fed because he recognized the
policemen and thought they been laying
in wait for him. Besides Sergt Little
and Deyoe, those who participated in
the chase were Policemen Leo Murray
and Robert T. Joiner.

DEATH TAKES TWO
FROM zoo COLONY

Tiger, Succumb.

Death has claimed two members of the
Zoo colony.
Mombasso, 19-year-old hippopotamus,
unable to withstand the ravages of a
lingering illness that confined her to a
secluded cage in a corner of the lion
house for several weeks, died Tuesday,
leaving five children and disheartened
mate.
A short while after her death became
known today, Rajah, 5-year-old Siberian
tiger, expired from internal disorder
Body to Be Mounted.
In order that Mombasso may be re-
membered by posterity, taxidermists of
the SmithSonian-Nation Museum are
preparing to mount the body, which
will be placed in the Smithsonian In
stitution. 1t will be the first hippopota-
mus exhibited in the museum
j. S. Warmbath noted hunter and
taXidermist, and S. B. ChildS of the
Smithsonian Institution are making
plaster casts of Mombasso's body. When
these are completed, the skin will be
removed from the carcass and tanned.
The bones and clay will be used to
make a life size skeleton of Mombasso.

mails skin. Through study of other
hippopotami and pictures a perfect
image of MombaSso will be created, but
it will be months before the animal is
completed for the institution.
Bungo, mate of Mombasso, appears
nearly overcome by the death of his
spouse. Hiding away in corner of
his tank, he submerges himself in the
water and refuses to eat until all is
quiet in the lion house. He will recover
from his grief only when the body of
Mombasso is removed, w. H. Black
burn, head keeper at the Zoo, said
today.
Came From South Africa.
Mombasso's ancestors roamed the
South African Soudan. Captured by
a trader, she was sold and brought to
the United States when 18 months old.
She has lived the remainder of her 10
years at the Zoo, and in that time has
had five offspring, which are now in

circuses.
Rajah was native Washingtonian,
as he was born at the Zoo here.
Frantic efforts were made to pro-
long his life. In the meantime, his
mate sulked in the cage, giving vent
at intervals to a full-throated roar in
an attempt to rouse her stricken COM

DEN|SON ATTACKS
INDICTMENT HERE
Counsel for Representative
and John Layne Charge
vagueneSS.
BY the Associated Press.

by InS ASSOClaLeQ EEeSS.
A demurrer has been filed attacking
the validity of the indictment charging
Representative Denison of Illinois and
John Layne, his former secretary, with
possessing intoxicating liquor.
The brief, filed by attorneys for the
two, contends that the indictment re-
turned by District of Columbia grand
jury is so vague that a judgment re-
turned upon it would not protect the
defendants from another prosecution
for the same offenSe.
1t also sets forth that the indictment
did not specify the kind or quantity of
liquor it charged was found in trunk
IN DeniSon'S Office in the House Office
Building. The demurrer added that
there was no definition of time or place
or how the alleged offense was COM
mitted or how he came into possession
of the liquor he was charged with
having.
The contention also was raised that,
while the indictment charged the two
with possessing liquor, it did not show
the acts of either or both of the de-
PENDANTS specifically constituting pos
session.
The demurrer added that the true
bill alleges commission of distinct and
separate offenses by different Defend
ants in one and the same charge and
does not allege that said acts were done
jointly or that defendants acted in con-
cert" Denison and Layne were in
dicted recently and gave bond for their
appearance in court.

course of study, additional work in
keeping with his special INTEREST,"" Con-
tinuing, the brief asks:
How does the child who is so skipped
over a grade get training in the basic
academic work of that grade? What is
the effect on the child of being re-
garded as a child wonder? Does the
bright pupil become a valuable, good
citizen? May not skipping account at
least in part for the large number of
children who enter the Junior and senior
high schools without even elementary
training in the fundamentals of gram
mar, for instance? May not skipping
produce many evil social consequences
which may cause the child's maladjust-
ment, socially speaking, for life?"
Continuing, the brief presents queries
designed to ascertain whether special
courses are provided now for the chill
dren in the TX" "Y" and ~" groups
and which ask specifically for a state
ment of the practical, applied use" Of
the tests. The brief also asks to what
extent the classifications of pupils can
hold in junior and senior high schools.
, Referring to the giving of achieve
ment tests in the schools, which it as
sumes ARE given as a means of de-
termining how well the pupils know the
academic subjects which they have been
taught" and that these tests ARE thor
oughly standardized" the brief asks:
why is it that in some of the arith-
metic tests in our elementary schools
pupils are examined in work which is
not in our course of study for that par
ticular grade? Why did the tests in a
number of the other subjects also not
correspond with the subject matter
covered in our Schools?"
In conclusion, the brief which Mrs.
Rafter has placed with the Public
School Association committee declares
I'VE present the foregoing set of
questions not to discredit any practice
now in use, but to afford our school au-
thorities an opportunity to explain, def
nitely, certain policies and practices
which are now in use in our schools, and
which to large number of parents pre-
sent many perplexing problems"
