New Orleans, November 27.-Henry w.

Bfight's disease for a number of years.
Mr.. Greenwall became a manager in 1867,
when he leased theatre in Galveston.
Since then he had been engaged in the
business in the south, managing theatres
in most OF the cities at one time or an
other. Always he has been "allied with
the independents and had seen many
lively theatrical squabbles, one of mis-
latest being in connection with his Texas
string of theatres.
He still retained an interest in houses
ia Dallas and Fort Worth and owned the
Greenwall theatre here. He was a menu

promised to develop most thoroughly. The
plan, she said, had been under consider

CARLISLE DENIES

Accusations Inspired by

ers, Declares the New
York Commissioner

Albany,7 N. Y. November 27.-The
charges filed against State Highway Com
missioner John N. Carlisle, by the War
ner-Quinlan Asphalt company and his
answer thereto were made public tonight
by Governor Glynn.
Carhsle's accusers averred he discrim-
mated against them in laying down spec
lf1cations for asphalt to be used on state
highways in order to favor the Barber
Asphalt Paving company; held secret
meetings with agents of the company for
the purpose of conspiring against other
asphalt manufacturers; wasted thousands
of dollars in employing incompetent en-
gineers as road experts and threw the
highway department into a state of chaos
The commissioners reply was a general
denial of the accusations. They were
inspired, he said, by chagrned manufac
turers who had failed in an effort +o
folst on his department lust as good,

cations.
Hennessy's Name Appears
The name of John A. Hennessy former.
ly a special investigator in the highway
department, appeared Unexpectedly in the
formal charges. To him was attributed
the sending of telegram to the high
way contractors last July 5, notifying
them that they must use Barber asphalt.
This telegram, alleged to have followed
a meeting in Coopertown between Gov
ernor Sulzer, Carlisle, George Mcclure.
an agent for the Barber company. and
others. Communication was had by tele-
phone from Cooperstown with Hennessy
in the highway department here it was
alleged, and the sending of the telegram
followed
The message is said to have been signed
Roy x. Fuller" by Hennessy. Fuller
is secretary to the highway department,
and he previously has denied ever having
sent the message.
Allegation further was made that two
days after Hennessy was appointed on
June 16. 1918, he was called into confer
ence with James X. Mcclure. an agent for
and stockholder in the Barber com
pany Carlisle and others. and Informed
that only Barber asphalt would meet

Many Disappointed

The prime minister also disappointed
those who had been expecting some pro-
nouncement from him indicating the pros
pect of decrease of the vast expendi-
ture for armaments
He and all his colleagues in the gov
ernment, he said, lamented the huge di-
version all over the world of national
wealth into non-productive channels. A
ministry which out of wantonness or
levity in a burst of vainglorious rivalry
added a pound to the expenditure for
that purpose was committing a national
crime. The ministries were charged with
a solemn trust and in it's performance
it was their duty to maintain a vigilant
watch on what the other nations We're
doing and be constantly ready. He
thought the problem could be met by
the cooperation of the great powers
brought about by the demands of the
people.

Conference a Surprise

Omaha. Neb., November 2T.-United

THE calling of the democratic confer
enoe was a surprise to me. Senator Owens
speech on Monday indicated concliatory
disposition.
This led me in my speech on Tuee-
day to adopt a similar plan and to CON
fine my arguments to the merits of the
bill agreed ON by my section of the COM
mittee and reported by me.
'The close attention given my speech
and the comments made afterwards led
me to hope that some, If not most, of the
changes which l proposed would be IA
vorably considered

vailed on both sides of the Senate cham

justment of differences and early action

Meet Today
The conference will meet at 10
o'clock tomorrow, however, to begin
another day of hurried consideration
the bill, as reported by Senator owen
and the five other administration
democrats on the banking and cur
rency committee was gone over at
today's session. A number of amend
ments of a minor nature, altering the
phraseology of the bill were adopted,
but the important provisions of the
measure remained unaltered. The ad-
ministration measure for regional
banks owned and controlled by the
national banks went through un-
changed. Several other importan mat
ters were allowed to go over for fu-
ture consideration.
The democratic leaders tonight were
confident that the conference would
complete it's considerations sof the bill
by Saturday night, according to pro
gramme, and that the measure would
be ready TO go to the floor as a party
measure when the regular session be-

No Reason to Despair

It was in this spirit, said Mr.. Asqulth,
that he invited not a conference of party
leaders, but a free and unprejudiced in
terchange of views and suggestions. He
had no reason to despair regarding the
acceptance OF the invitation by the lead
ers of the opposition. The government
was not going to make either on it's own
initiative or on the suggestion of others
any surrender of principle, but 1t had
not closed any door on reasonable way
to peace.
There was no ground whatever, he de-
clared, for the demand made by the con-
servatives for a general election. 1t
could not be fought on the single issue
of home rule and could not result in a
settlement of the question. The govern
ment, he said, was determined to give
home rule to Ireland and was not going
to be frightened or arrested by menaces
of civil war

There was fair audience, but not &C
