AUGUSTA DELEGU|A,
DICTATOR, DIES
Former President of Peru,
Long in Poor Health, Ex-
pires at BeIIavista.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LIMA, Peru, February 6.-Augusto de
Leguia, SO, former President Of Peru,
whose administration recently was under
discussion before committee Of the
United States Senate, which was in
vestigating foreign loans, died here to-
day.
He died at the naval hospital at Bel
lavista, where he had been cared for
by an American physician since he was
transferred from Lima Penitentiary. He
had been in poor health for long time.
Problem" Solved.
Peru's "Leguia problem" was solved
automatically with the passing of the
former President and dictator, political
observers here believed. Many persons
had expressed the opinion he should be
released because Of his old age, but no
one in the governments which have
preceded the present regime of Luis
Sanchez Cerro thought it proper to
grant him his freedom.
His son Juan still is in prison.
After having ruled IL years as PreSi-
dent, Leguia fled the country in August,
1880, when a military revolt overthrew
his administration. He collapsed aboard
a warship two days after the fall of his
government and was operated on. He
was detained aboard the warship pend
ing trial for alleged irregularities, i'm
priSoned on an island at Callao for a
time, then taken to the penitentiary
here.
Fined S7,625,0OO.
With six relatives, he was tried in
November. 1880, on charges of illegal
enrichment" A large quantity of
jewels, including a gold crown, were
found in his safes and deposit boxes
and he and his sons were fined ST.
625,000 as reimbursement for alleged i'm
proper transactions during his regime.
Last December the Peruvian Con-
gress asked he be tried as a traitor and
resolution recommending trial for
treason was approved by the National
Assembly.
During the Senate Committee investl-
cation at Washington last month Fred
erick Strauss of the ]. & W. Seligrnan
90. of New York, told the committee
commission of $415,000 was paid to
former President Leguia's son, Juan

Citizens of SO Nations Demand
Peace-French Proposal
Stirs Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GENEVA, February 6-Viscount
Robert Cecil, president Of the Interna-
tional Federation of League Of Nations
Societies and known as the grand old
man Of disarmament" laid before the
Disarmament Conference today a def
mite program of proposals included in
which was a 25 per cent reduction Of
world armament expenses.
The proposals also called for an in
crease in national security by the ex-
tension of the League of Nations
covenant and arbitration treaties, inter-
naturalization of aviation, and prohi-
bition of chemical and archaeological
warfare.
I'VE lay down" he said, that equal
ity in disarmament between the victors
and vanquished in the World War
should be recognized in principle and
that steps in that direction should be
taken by the present conference.
Three Recommendations.
with this object, We make three
definite recommendations:
First, acceptance by all signatories
Of the disarmament treaty of the prin-
ciple of budgetary limitation that is,
limitation of the amount spent every
year on armament by each nation.
Second, We propose prohibition for
all nations Of those kinds Of armament
which now are forbidden to the van
quished powers.
Third, we recommend the establish
ment Of the same system for interna-
tional supervision of the armament of
all countries"
we urge, on the naval side. that
there shall be built no more ships of
more than 10,000-ton size next
we desire the abolition Of submarines
as to land armament, We wish the
abolition Of tanks and large land guns.
IF the conference would agree to the
abolition of military aircraft it would
not only render offensive military oper-
ations more difficult, but it would
abolish what is surely most barbar-
Gus form of warfare, and would, in
one important respect, equalize the
armament conditions of the vanquished
and victorious powers in the late war"
Citizens Demand Peace.
The voice of the world at large
echoed this morning in the ears of the
delegates.
Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen Of Sc
countries demanded through their rep
resentatives peace and disarmament. 1t
was the first time since the abortive
conference of Nicholas II that the
man in the street and his wife were
given official heed.

NEW THREAT FACED
BY FOREIGN ZONE
Possibility of Japanese
Troops Landing There
Worries Powers.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The possibility of landing japanese
troops in the International Settlement
in Shanghai is the principal worry of
the American and other governments
which have joined in their demand that
the International Settlement be kept
out of the fighting between the jap
anese and the Chinese forces.
A japanese division is expected to
land in Shanghai within the next "a
hours. In accordance with the prom
ises Of the japanese foreign Office, the
troops will avoid involving the Inter
national Settlement in their action
against the Chinese.
Consequently the Western powers
fully expect the japanese troops will
land in the Woosung area after the
forts have been reduced. This, at least,
is the intimation received from the
japanese government.
Good Faith Indicated.
The action of the japanese Navy,
which has been hammering those forts
for the past five days in order to re-
duce them to silence and enable the
establishment of bridgehead, seems
to indicate the japanese intend to keep
their pledge.
On the other hand, reports received
today from Shanghai indicate the
Chinese are still holding their own and
japanese landing in the Woosung
area will be extremely difficult and
could be performed only with heavy
loss of life.
On account of this situation and if
the japanese naval guns are not able
to drive the Chinese forces from this
area, it is feared the japanese may go
back on their original promise and en-
deavor to effectuate a landing in the
International Settlement, whence they
can proceed and attack the Chinese
without much trouble.
The commanders Of the foreign
troops in the settlement have very
liberal powers to deal with such an
emergency.
They are guided in their action by
the broad policy of their respective

ROMANCE IS SOUGHT FOR FILM
BASED ON LIFE OF "JIM" DAVIS
Senator Says Producer Wants Love Scenes, but He's
Going Q. K. Them First

Senator Davis was asked about re-
port that the romance sequence would
be substituted for some of the matter
on Mooseheart contained in Davis au-
photography, "The Iron Puddler." He
replied that there isn't much about the
Moose organization in the book.
An inquiry as to whether Davis per-
sonally would play role in the pic
ture brought the retort that they don't
want any one like me in it."
He declared he knows little about the
production and can't recall offhand the
name of the producer.
"All I know about it," he said, "is
that they asked permission to base a
movie on my book, and said I would
have to O. K. the film first"

lished about year ago, while Davis
