closing law was reported yesterday, &C
cordinR to Porter II. Morgan, assist

since the arrests of several grocers last
month" Morgan said. ut is natural
TO become a little lax in these matters,
and dozens of grocers in Oklahoma

Austria Maintains

AMSTERDAM, April 8.-The state
ments of the French government and
former Premier Painleve that it was
Austria, not France, which took the in
%itiative resulting in the conversations
in Switzerland concerning the possibility
OF opening peace negotiations, are denied
by the Austrian government, which in
sists that France took the first step. An
official statement issued in Vienna says
the accounts given by Premier Clemen-
c and NJ. Painleve of the meetings
in Switzerland between Count Revertata,
the Austrian representative and Major
Armand, representing France, deviate
from the facts in many important partic-
ulars. II asserts the initiative was
taken by the intermediary, according to
