Men Invited To Help
Pick Greatest
Women
The selection of the twelve
greatest living American
women still hangs in the bal
ance.
After narrowing down a
large list of candidates to
about fifty, the committee,
representing the most impor
tant women's organizations of
the United States, voted to
draft five "prominent men" to
assist.
The names of the men were
not made public pending "their
capture." The men were re
ported to be dodging the
/ "bench warrants" issued by the
women.
The committee announced
this definition of greatness:
"A woman who has made
j definite contribution to the
betterment of life."
"We are having difficulty
I in preparing the list," said
Mrs. Kate Trenholm Abrams,
| of the General Federation of
i Women's Clubs, "but we ex
! pect, with the assistance of the
men, to come to a decision

BYPERU CLAIM
Descendants of French Scien
tist Expected to Receive
Considerable Sum.
Out of the intrigues and deluys
which so often vex development of
Latin-American resources by out
side capital there noon will Issue, In
all probability, a settlement netting
two Washingtonians a sum well up
In the millions.
This became known today wltn
word from London that an American
Peruvian-Brltlsh commission Is about
to certify claims resting In the estate
of Jean Theophlle Landreau, French
Vcientist, to benefits from the Peru
vian government ap the result of his
discovery more than half a century
ago of rich deposits of guano on the
islands off that nation's coast.
The two persons most Interested
are Mrs. Marie M. Dycer, of this
city, who for some months has been
in California, and Norman B. Lan
dreau, grandnephew of Jean. Mrs.
Dycer Is the daughter of John Celes
tln Landreau, brother of the discov
erer. who legally succeeded to Jean's
claims upon his death, and who him
self died In 1019.
Martin J. McXamara, Wasnlngton
attorney, and Norman, who is asso
ciated" with him, are executors of the
estate. It was largely their repre
sentations to the State Department
that secured an approprtalon from
Congress for Investigation of th>*
claim, and brought about the present
meeting In London. A protocol af
fecting the matter was signed by the
United Mates and Peru in Lima in
May, J 921.
A ce-tain percentagn from profits
on all guano discovered was to go
to Jean Landreau, and this Is
reckoned to have totnl? d between
i50,000,000 and 1100,000 0u0. There
was also an award of lloO.OOO
decreed In Jean's favor In 1S65,
but never paid. McNamara declares
that during the years Eince then
(he claim has often been In litign
lion, up to the present, resulting
simply in mulcting of the claim
ants. He stated today that the
award, far from being at Its original
great aggregate, would In his b<lief
be no more th^n $7,000,000.
