The conduct of routine business con-
corning the transfer and status of sew
eral ministers occupied the greater part
of the time of the Presbytery of Wash

sion in New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church yesterday.
A communication from President
Hoover thanking the Presbytery for its
assurance of support in the program for
law enforcement was read at the meet
ing.
The Presbytery granted authority to
Rev. DR.. Newton P. Patterson, associate
pastor of the Covenant and First

ported it is willing to appropriate the

their opinions. The War Department
from the beginning opposed the film
as too pacif1stic.
Polish officialdom seldom has been
so stirred up by controversy as it
was over the film. No department
was willing to accept responsibility
for its showing or rejection, so that
the premier had to function as an
arbiter After seeing the film in its
shortened form he issued an order to
permit its showing.
The scenes chopped from the picture
are of the soldiers maltreating Him
melstoSs, which was regarded as I'M
dermining army discipline; young SOL
diers growing hysterical during their
first battle, some hospital scenes, Ger
man soldiers visiting French girls. which
was considered immoral, and the closing
scene, which give the impression that
everybody was killed in the war.

'OCAMPO ACCEPTS
PERU PRESIDENCY
Agrees to Head Government
Until Constitutional Body
Can Be Restored.
BY the Associated Press.


LIMA, Peru, March 10.-David Sa-
mane2 Ocampo, head of the Arequipa
junta which has held out against the
Lima government since the overthrow
of Sanchez Cerro as provisional Presi-
dent, today accepted the provisional
presidency himself.
1t was offered him by Col. Gustavo
Jimenez, and at the end of negotiations
by telegraph the southern leader agreed
to head the junta which will govern
Peru until constitutional government
can be restored.
Ocampo is not in good health, but he
telegraphed Jimenez that he would as
sumo the heavy responsibility of the
presidency" as a duty. He asked the
colonel to let him organize his own
junta within the requirements of ma
tional harmony" and plane was to
leave here for Arequipa today to bring
the new government head to the CAPT.
tai
This development came after an ex-
change of kilograms yesterday and last
night in which Ocampo's Southern
junta" resigned when the Lima junta
charged that OcanYpo's terms of COM
promise amounted practically to a de-
mand for dictatorship by the Southern
faction.
Jimenez expressed regret at this de-
cision, apologized for the suggestion re-
garding a dictatorship and offered
Ocampo the post he has now accepted.
believing that your personality Is an
unquestionable guarantee of the fulfill
ment of our patriotic design"
Lima doomed definitely as the scene
of future developments with todays
turn of affairs, but until Ocampo arrived
there was little information as to the
makeup of the incoming government.
1t was doubted whether a plane would
be available to bring the new executive
to Lima today.
The support of many army garrisons
was assured to the Samanez government
but it remained to be learned why the
southern Junta resigned last night.
The Jimenez government decreed to-
day that trial of leaders of the Callao
mutiny shall go forward. The Junta
headed by Judge Ricardo Elias, which
was ousted from power nine days ago,
had granted general amnesty to the
Callao mutineers, but todays decree
revokes amnesty except to non-com-
missioned officers and troops.

"Set-Up" Banished
And Ice Shaved as
Hotel Goes ''Dry''
Call for Ginger Ale Will
Get Only Glassful in
Future.

The "set-up," as it is quantity known,
is gone from the new Shoreham Hotel.
Hereafter any one ordering ginger ale
or charged water gets a trimming
glassful, tinctured perhaps with shaved
ice. No more bottles and no more
cracked Use, which has more staying
qualities than the shaved variety.
The "set-up" never had recognized
standing in the nomenclature of hotel
operation. There it was simply bottled
ginger ale and cracked ice, or bottled
water and cracked ice. In the field of
gastronomics, however, the term was
as well established as its rumored use.
Thing of the Past.
But, effective last night, "set-up" IS
a dead letter so far as the Shoreham
is concerned.
L. Gardner Moore, managing director
of the Shoreham, thinks a problem has
been solved; that decided damper will
be put on table drinkers who use ginger
ale or water as a concomitant fer
something stronger. Laurence Mills,
secretary of the Washington Hotel
Mems Association, also believes the
move will have beneficial effects.
They take the stand that under pres
ent conditions hotel operators are in a
warm spot The. prohibition command
VIII not Order QlScOnJnuance OF Jne sale
of bottled goods-and ice-but threatens
punitive measures If they are sold.
In Draught Only.
So the Shoreham's ginger ale and
water is only going to be handled in
draught, being kept in kegs at soda
fountain there. No bottles will be
handled even at the fountain, for they
might have bad habit of trickling' into
the dining room, Moore says.
Thus far draught ginger ale Of special
blend is purely local product and the
makers thereof like the new idea. Ma
tional sellers, whose product thus far
only comes in bottles, are reported not
so happy and Moore has heard from
them.
That, however, is not his lookout, he
says.
He's only buying in kegs, which will
be very unhandy for table drinkers.
