Carlos Ilerrera became provisional president of Guatemala after the revolution in April, 1920, in which the government of Estrada Cabera was overthrown.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. Carlos Ilerrera, whose government was overthrown in Guatemala In a revolution which began Monday midnight, was reported in advices to American officials to be a prisoner In his residence. Members of the Ilerrera cabinet, the advices say, were being held" in the military prison.

About a dozen persons were killed in the revolution, the official advices received here today eald, and many have been arrested. The Guatemalan capital was reported quiet at the time the dispatches were filed yesterday. The revolution began about Monday midnight and was accomplished by 5 a. m. Tuesday, the advices added.

Persons In close touch with conditions in Guatemala but outside official circles said the revolt was no surprise as the Liberal party, which is believed here to have brought about the revolution, has long been opposed to the Ilerrera government, particularly In its action In adopting the pact by which Guatemala entered the recently created Central American Federation. Adoption of the pact. Liberal leaders claimed, waa unconstitutional as there was not present a quorum when the Guatemalan legislature ratified the treaty. The same persons were of the opinion that the first immediate effect of the revolution would be the disruption of the present federation and the freeing from prison of Estrada Cabrera, former president, though it was be lieved no effort would be made to restore Cabrera to power.

European Art Is Dumped on United States NEW YORK, Dec.

7. By The Associated Fress.) -Hard times in' Europe have resulted in the dumping of literally "thousands" of oil paintings and other works of art into the American market, the majority of which have proved to be fakes or cofJTes of masterpieces In the opinion of Gustavius T. Kirby, of the American art gallery. Many of these "originals" were thought genuine by their European owners, who had Inherited them and had never had occasion to examine them until the war took away their wealth. American homes of tomorrow will be far more artistic and livable than were those of yesterday, Mr.

Kirby believes, for there la a decided swing to the purchase of tapestries and other art works for util-Itarain purposes rather than merely for art's sake.

Under the plan all organizations which desire may carry, on charitable relief work under the name of their own organization, but confidential reports will be made to the central exchange to be maintained by Mrs. Kittie B.

The amount of relief given will also be reported and if necessary the person's further needs will be recorded at the exchange.
