PEACE CONGRESS
 INSTALLATION
Spacious Dining Room At Hotel Treanon Receives
 Its Setting.

Versailles, Wednesday, April 30 CBy the Associated Tress) The spa cious dining room of the Hotel Fri anon today received its peace con gress nStallahion-three long tables in horseshoe form covered with the traditional green cloth of diplomacy and games of hazard. The installa- tion is imposing In the size of each of the side tables, which extend some forty or fifty feet. At the head of the apartment Is a table about 35 feet long at which the representa- dives of the great powers will be seat ed, with President Poincare or Pre- lnter CIeIreaceau in the center.
 Inside the horseshoe is another table covered with red plush, and in ohe space between one side of the horse shoe and the windows is a siru5Iar ta.bie. In the window open dnEs are a number of smaller square tables for secretaries,
 This is the scene for the hand ing ever of the terms of peace. The eSact. date Of the ceremony has moi Been announced, but it is commonly assumed Shat it will occur on Sat urday. The French government however, has carefully abstatned fr1,rr T1saotns; sE8 day cad tt is a fadI presumption that this is due not only to the problem whether the inter venfnE time will be long enough tC ,-sr5fy the credentials of the German pfsni potentiaries but also the un- certainty whether the draft of the treaI&g can be com pleted by Satur- day. Acquisitions relative to the adequgsey of the powers of the Ger man dR4ega5es and their qualifica- lions tdA speak for Bavaria which ,aIue to ~,he front today may TUT ,ish an o@sasion for deferring the apduE over of the treaty. Should
 further delay\ be necessary a pre- iintnaTy meeting with the German delegates will occur probably on Fri day. At this meeting their creden- tials win be submitted for examina- tion to a commission headed by J ules Cau1bon of France.

U.S.|NDUSTRY PRICE FIXING
 BOARD QUITS
Unable to Bring Railroads Under Steel Price Ruling,
 Members Resign in a Body
Resources of Courtesy Are Exhausted, Says Redfield :;
 Supply and Demand to Rule

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Govern- mental efforts to hasten the return of industry to normal peace time astiv- ity by stabilizing prices through the industrial board of the department of commerce came to an end today.
 Following a final unsuccessful effort to bring the railroad administration and steel producers to an agreement on prices yesterday in New York, the resignation of Chairman George N. Peck of Moline, Ills. and the other six members of the board were accept ed by Secretary Redfield. The resig- nations, rendered April 22 when the railroad administration first refused to accept the reduced steel prices ar ranged by the board on the ground that they were too high, had been held in abeyance until MT. Redfield was satisfied the board had exhausted every effort to stimulate an industrial revival through the satisfying of the largest single purchaser of materials in the country.
 Nation Left to Supply and Demand"
 With the dissolution of the board, the natural forces of supply and de- mand will be left to readjust prices from war levels to those of peace. Di- rector General Hines announced yes terday that the railroad administra- tion would return to the old system of competitive bidding in placing its or ders.
 Government officials declared they did not know whether the steel pro ducers would keep in force the price schedule approved by the industrial board and which was the basis of all bids recently submitted for 20,000 tons of steel needed by the navy. It became known that when the legality of price agreements arranged by the board was submitted to Attorney Gen eral Palmer, he rendered an opinion that such action was not authorized by law, but did not declare that such an agreement would. be illegal Other officials held that the purely voluntary nature of new price schedules, ar ranged by board which admittedly was without power to influence the prices and seeking merely to stimulate business by effecting reductions, put the agreements without the pale of the Sherman law.
 Steel Only Prices Fixed
 The steel schedule was the first and only one ever promulgated by the board which was appointed in March. Representative of four other indus tries-coal, cement, hardwood and pine lumber-had expreased a willing ness to cooperate with the board, and conferences looking to price re- ductions had been held.
 In announcing his acceptance of the resignations of the board mem- bers, Mir Redfield made the following statement:
 That board was conceived in the spirit of unselfish public service and has so acted from the beginning.

Bv Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Authorrita- tive statements of opinion by most senators on the treaty of Versailles probably will not be forthcoming until after congress has met in extra ses- sion.
 Republican leaders have announced their determination not to give final conclusions until they have had an opportunity to study the full text of the treaty and the understanding here is that the document will not be made public until after it has been signed In the meantime congress will have convened.
 Expressions of views came today from only two senators, neither of whom entered into discussion of the treaty itself Senator Borah of Idaho, republican, in a letter to the editor of the Boston Transcript reiterating his opposition to the league of nations covenant, asked the republican party to state it's position as to the league and indicated that should approval of 1t be given he would quit the party.

VILLA BANDS AGAIN ACTIVE AT BORDER
Army Split Into Number of Raiding Parties; No Fear
 of Juarez Attack

JUAREZ, May 9.-Villa bands have begun to appear in the border zone following the breaking up of Villas main command into small raiding par ties after he evacuated Parral A band of 30 armed and mounted men were reported at Tierra Blanca, 15 miles south of here on the Mexican Central railroad tonight. There is no settle ment at this station but 1t is possible Villa men were sent there to cut the railroad communication with Chihua- hua City.
 MormOns arriving here late today reported that a small band of Villa men appeared at Colonia, Juarez, Mon day, demanding food and forage. When one of the Mormons went into his house to obtain the food the rebels fled, thinking he had gone to give the alarm.
 No fear of an attack is felt by Col Jose Gonzales Escobar, the border commander here, he said tonight. In addition to the three regiments of troops he has a complete regiment of machine guns and some field batteries in Ft. Hidalgo. It is believed here the rebels are scouting for smuggled ammunition rather than planning mili- tary activities near the border.
