MARIE DENIES MAN
IS CARS BROTHER
Grand Duchess Denounces
Hollywood Claimant
as Impostor.
Nv tba Aesoc,ated prssS

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 19-The Ex-
aminer says in a copyrighted article
Grand Duchess Marie of Russia has de-
nounced as an imposter Russian who
retained attorneys here to aid him in
establishing his identity as the Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, brother
Of the late czar.
The Grand Duchess, here on o tour
of the United States, Is quoted as saying
that she was visited by Attorneys DAILY
sought information regarding Gen.
Veriaguiy' Of Hollywood.
Resemblance Denied.
"Gen. veriaguiy," the lawyers explain
ed, asked them to represent him In q
suit claiming the estate of Gar Nicholas
on deposit in European and New York
banks and amounting to nearly billion
dollars.
The attorneys said Gen. veriaguiy"
told them he could prove himself to be
Grand Duke Michael who, according to
all accounts, was asSaSsinated at Perm,
Russia. in 1918.
Photographs Of the claimant were
shown the grand duchess.
Hes an impostor," she was quoted
as saying. This man does not bear the
slightest resemblance TO Grand Duke
Michael"
Robnett and MCGEE said they had
communicated at Paris with Princess
BrasSov, morganatic wife Of the grand
duke and had received a reply that the
photographs bore no resemblance to
Michael and "the uniform worn in the
photographs is false and SO are the
medals"
Succeeded Gar Nicholas.
The lawyers said they had proof that
"Veriaguiy" rented Russian generals
uniform and bar of decorations"
from a Hollywood coStumer, and said
they awaited Grand Duchess Marie's
arrival for further information.
Grand Duke Michael, had he lived
would have been heir to the Russian
throne. He was nominated regent ruler
of Russia March 2, 1917, after the abdi-
cation Of Nicholas. History says he
was killed by the Bolshev1ks with his
secretary, an EngliShman.
The Los Angeles lawyers said "Gen.
Veriaguiy'' lived alone in q small house
in the Hollywood hills.

OFF TONIGHT TO MUKDEN.
League Commission Continues Its
Investigation.

PEIPING, April 10 (P.-The League
Of Nations Inquiry Commission pre-
pared today to leave for Mukden, Man
churia, tonight to continue its investi-
cations there.
The party will be divided Gen. Nc
Coy, American member, and the others
except Lord Lytton, the chairman, will
travel on a specially chartered train.
Lord Lytton planned to go to Tientsin
and by steamer to Dairen.
The Chinese and Japanese assessors,
DR.. Wellington Koo and M. HoShida,
with their stats, will proceed each on a
gunboat of his nation.
The commission was told today that
6,000,000 Chinese flood sufferers in the
Hwei River Valley are existing chiefly
on grass and bark Of trees and that
some of them are being sold in a
human market.
Relief workers reported, according to
Shaow Peter Chuan, superintendent of
the Flood Relief Commission in the
area, that the sale price of humans is
one dollar in Chinese money, or about
20 cents, for each year Of the persons
age.
A 10-year-old child sells for about 81,
and the rate rises up to age Is, when 1t
begins to recede.
The chief supply of food, the commits
sion was told, has been relief wheat
from the United States, but only 1000
tons have reached the valley thus far
owing to the Sino-Japanese trouble.
Two months remain before the local
wheat crop will have matured, witnesses
said, and the problem is to feed the
millions until then.

TRAFFIC STUDIED
At FLORIDA AVENUE
goth and 21st Streets May
Become 0ne-Way to Halt
S Street Congestion.

A proposal to make Twentieth and
TWenty-tirst streets one-way traffic
thoroughfareS from Constitution avenue
to Florida avenue, distance of nearly
2 miles, was considered today by Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer and
other traffic authorities.
The plan has two-fold purpose. Pri-
marily 1t is designed to relieve conges-
ton at Connecticut and Florida avenues
and S street, an intersection regarded
by traffic officials as one of the most
complicated in the District, due to the
converging of traffic from five different
points. The plan, in the opinion of
traffic experts, also will facilitate the
flow of north and south bound traffic
south of Florida avenue on two streets
that, despite their narrowness, are now
carrying large volume Of vehicles.
Would Eliminate Them.
Under the plan, Twentieth street
would be made one way for southbound
traffic, and Twenty-first street one way
for northbound traffic. According to
traffic officials this would prevent south
bound vehicles on Connecticut avenue
from turning into Twenty-f1rst street
at Florida avenue, a condition which is
said to create intense congestion dur
ing 1t impossible for pedestrians to
cross.
If the one-way proposal is put into
effect, southbound traffic, it was point
ed out, would be compelled to continue
south on Connecticut avenue to the in
tersection of Twentieth street, thus
eliminating the present right turn at
Connecticut and Florida avenues.
Blue Prints Made,
Mr.. Van Duzer and his assistants in
tend to make a series of studies to de-
termine the effect on traffic at various
intersections south Of Florida avenue
should the one-way plan be adopted.
Blue prints already have been made in
dicating problems at congested intersec-
tions along the nearly two-mile stretch.
Traffic counts also have been made
showing the peak and average traffic
flow.
At Connecticut and Florida avenues
and S street the count shows the peak
flow to be 2,916 vehicles an hour, and
the average hourly flow of 873 vehicles.
The peak flow at the intersection of
Florida ave, Twenty-f1rst and S streets
is 1,737 vehicles an hour, and the aver
age dow 1,147 vehicles an hour.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 19.-Gov,
Harvey Parnell has promised to call a
special legislative session if his program
for 20 per cent reduction in State ex-
penses is not in effect by May l, but
the mass meeting that elected the pledge
will be reassembled on that date.
More than thousand persons met
here yesterday on governmental econ
omy as an aftermath of the trump"
session of the Arkansas Lower House
which sought enactment Of retrench-
ment legislation after dissolution Of the
Legislature. The gathering disbanded
with the decision to meet again at the
expiration of the Governors time limit,
following his promise.
Gov. Parnell explained he was work
ing on a plan for a voluntary reduction
Of 20 per cent in all State departmental
expenses and said if he failed to get the
necessary cooperation he would call
the Legislature back into session.

PAY CUTS OPPOSED
FOR US. SCIENTISTS
Chemical Society ForeSees
Grave Disruption Of I'M
p0rtant Stats.

Protest against salary reductions for
the scientific STATS of the various Gov
ernment departments was filed with the
Senate Appropriations Committee yes
terday by the Washington branch of the
American Chemical Society. several
hundred OF whose members are Federal
employees.
Building up of competent scientific
stats at the various bureaus has been
a process Of years" says the statement
drawn up by the society. The destruc-
ton of confidence which would now
occur would undoubtedly result in the
disruption of these highly efficient or
ganizationS when the return of indus
trial prosperity inevitably brings with 10
the attraction Of much more remun-
erative private employment.
Result Seen in Industry.
Industrial concerns generally re-
pented the great economic loss which
resulted from the disorganization of
their scientific staffs during the depres-
sion of 1921, by dismiSSalS and pay re-
ductionS, aud are strongly opposing the
repetition Of that mistake at present.
The advocates of pay reductions in the
Government service propose that now
the Government shall make the same
mistake.
"In addition to the vital Importance
Of preserving the confidence of the SCI
entists already employed. nothing should
be done which will increase that wide
spread feeling now existing that the
Government service does not offer de-
sirable career to the young chemist.
Economies Doubted.
"The Chemical Society believes that
the proposed reductions would result in
no economies, but ultimately in an &C
tual increase in expenditures. They
would result in an increase of unem-
ployment, decrease in purchasing power
and set an example for further wage
reductions throughout the country. The
society Is not convinced that any form
Of pay reduction Is necessary or desir-
able However. If one of the plans must
be adopted temporarily, the furlough
plan would be the least detrimental"

CHILE QUITS GOLD
BASIS OFFICIALLY
Return to Open Market Voted
After Rigid Control to
Save Peso.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO Chile, April 19.-Chile
went off the gold standard officially to-
day, after nine months of unsuccessful
effort to maintain the peso at par
through rigid control of purchases of
foreign exchange in the legitimate mar
ket.
Under the provisions of the govern
ment bill which was approved by Con-
gress late last night, the value of the
peso will be subject to virtually open
market, with a few restrictions to pre-
vent a wholesale collapse of the cur
rency.
Actually Already Of.
Actually, Chile has been off the gold
standard since last July, following the
overthrow of the government of Carlos
Ibanez, when the new government i'm
posed exchange control to prevent a
flight of gold from the country. Off
cially, however, the peso has been at
par, with declining transactions at this
rate. Most of the money has been han
died in bootleg" market, which has
determined the real value of the cur
rency.
The official rate for the peso has been
about IL cents American, gold. 1t was
believed here today that the rate would
now drop from about 8 pesos to the
dollar to 20 or more at the start, with
a possibility that it will go still lower.
The working of the new bill will be de-
layed briefly, pending approval of rules
interpreting its provisions.
The financial situation had become
SO acute that Finance Minister Luis
Izquierdo declared the peso must be
devalorized or socialism, or possibly
Communism, would result through the
INEQUALITIES between the official and
actual values of money.
Commission Formed.
The new bill creates an advisory ex-
change commission to handle tranSac-
tions through the central bank and to
set a daily value for the peso on the
basis of supply and demand. All trans
actions are required TO go through the
commission and any outside dealings
are made punishable by jail sentence
or a fine, or both.
All gold contracts made in the future
must be payable in pesos, but some past
gold contracts, such as those held by
foreign utility companies, will be re-
spected. Customs duties are payable
on a gold basis and insurance held In
foreign companies is payable in pesos
