 European censorship of mails and cables to European neutrals continues in full force. Complaints, booked by ev- idence are constantly being received in Paris. These are to the effect that the censorship is being utilized not alone for the legitimate purpose of prevent ing or hampering trade with Germany but also to give the nationals of the country exercising the censorship an unfair advantage over the American competitors through information ex- tracted from business correspondence.
 The assertion that all important bus mess information obtained from Amer ican mail was being registered, tabu- lated and studied for the benefit of British trade, was constantly mace iu Scandinavia before and after the entr. of the United States into the war 1 American business men who recently have been in Scandinavia assedt they received the distinct impression thai

PARIS, April 10-(By The Associ- ated Press) though the blockade has been formally lifted against all en- emy countries, except Germany and against Bolshevist Russia, restrictions on trade with Poland, Esthonia, and eastern and southeastern Europe con- tinue. There still is censorship of mail and telegrams and an absence of postal communication with the infant states" and resumption of trade and of busi- ness relations is virtually blocked.
 The American delegates have been pressing in the inter allied economic council for a modification of the cen sorship but the system as regards Eu rope remains in force. The associated governments therefore remain in the position of giving with one hand by lifting the blockade and with holding with the other by maintaining commer . cial censorship. It is hoped, neverthe- less that there soon will be relaxations on or removal of the censorship.
 The business situation in Poland Els thonia and the other new states illus trates the entire dependence of trade upon communications The blockade no longer exists for these countries in theory, but owing to the absence of postal or cable communications. busi- ness men in Poland, for instance. are unable to communicate with the outer : world 10 place orders or arrange for a resumption of business relations.

RATES STAND SAYS |. [. COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, April 10.-All speci- fications except those effecting a few rates cited ill complaint of the Colo the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railway and other railroads were over ruled today in decision of the inter state commerce commission. The Colo rado complaint attacked virtually all class and many comodity rates between Colorado and points to the west, south and east and attracted unusual inter est because of intervention by several other compliments, including the New Mexico commission. the Utah traffic bureau and various civic organizations.
 The commission held that. although & few class cartes were unduly preju- dicial, exceeding its maximum rate al- lowanceS. the record did not .conclu- sively establish that other class rates to points north, south and west of Den yer were unjust. No necessity was shown, according to the decision for outbound western commodity rates from Denver
 Proof also was found to be lacking that class rates between Chicago, the 1 Mississippi and the Missouri river ter ritory one one hand, and Colorado common points on the other were un- i. just.
 The commission found no adequate
 basis for readjusting commodity rates 1 between the same eastern and westerr /. points nor for changing ocean and raj rates to Colorado via Galveston.

[Repubiican A. p. Leased WireJ

DALLAS, Texas, April 10.-Ninety- two persons killed, approximately three hundred more or less seriously injured and property damage estimated at nearly s1,000 900 was the toll exacted by Tuesday nights storm that swept a portion of Arkansas, north Texas and southern Oklahoma, according to re- vised and very complete reports here. Of the dead, . persons were killed in Texas, fourteen in Oklahoma and three in Arkansas. Previous reports that eight lives were lost at Ravenna, Texas, proved unfounded by the latest infor- nation here.

 Hundreds of carcasses of hogs, COWS and mules are scattered over the dew astated area and fallen trees, telegraph and telephone poles block the country roads. Relief parties. however, are rapidly clearing away the debris. !. Wood county, Texas, was the worst sufferer. Thirty one lives were lost there and the property damage was estimated at nearly s200,000. Twenty two persons were killed in F'annir { county. thirteen in Van Zandt county seven in Collins county and two near Texarkana. In Oklahoma, eleven lives were lost at Durant, one at Jesse, one at Pontotoc and one at Walter. Three negroes were killed at Ogden, Ark.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 10.-Sen- ator Imman, withdrew today his re- quest to introduce an anti-Japanese land bill in the senate and the senate had received from Secretary of State Lansing at Paris a cablegram to the effect that the introduction of such legislation would be extremely unfor- tunate at this time.''
 He then introduced the resolution, incorporating a cablegram which he asked to be sent to President Wilson. requesting that the peace conference take such action on the question of oriental immigrat tion at this time that future state legislation may be made unnecessary
 The senate instructed its secretary to send the following cablegram to Secre- tary Lansing:
 Notwithstanding the great public demand that legislation such as men toned in our Jcablegram he enacted, solely in deference to earnest plea on the part of the president, such legisla- tion will not be introduced or conSid- cred by the senate at this session. We earnestly petition that such action be taken by the president on the oriental immigration question as shall make | future state legislation on such sub 1 jects unnecessary"
 A resolution proposing for an in- vestigation by a committee of the leg ! islature of the leasing of land in Cali fornia to aliens who are ineligible to l citizenship was introduced by Senator l W. s. Scott of San Francisco in the midst of a discussion over the Iimans | bill.

PARIS, April 10.-The plenary ses- sion of the peace conference tomorrow for consideration of the labor report is awaited with much interest because of the dissatisfaction existing among the smaller nations.
 Indications are that there may be interpellations concerning the secrecy with which the big four is surrounding itself and rumors that negotiations may open with the Germans without fully advising all the peace delegations of the terms of the treaty. Without exception the smaller nations are said to be displeased at being kept in the dark.

MIR. GOMPERS MOVED
 AT SIGHT OF HOME

NEW YORK, April 10.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, came ashore to- night from the steamship Rotterdam which brought him back from France with the other members of the Amer ican delegation to the international la bor conference which framed a cove nant to govern the affairs of labor throughout the world.
 The veteran labor leader had eX- pected to spend the night aboard the ship which will not dock until morning, but came back on the cutter with im-
 migration officers when informed by two of his sons that his wife was ill and that he should see her as soon
 as possible. They did not tell him that their mother had suffered 8 paralytic
 stroke several days ago.
 When MT. Gompers set foot in the darkness of the concrete of battery pier, he asked:
 'Is this terra firIna or a bridge?' When assured that 1t was the south end Of Manhattan island, he burst into tears. exclaiining:
 My own land, thank God" MT. Gompers was i'll when he board
 ed the ship at Plymouth but his health improved greatly during the voyage and he was able to make three patriotic addresses to the 2,23S troops and the 570 civilians on board. In his
 last talk he denounced vigorously the remarks made through an interpreter by c. Zilbourg. secretary of war in the
 Kerensky cabinet in Russia. The labor leader declared the Rus sian had shown pronounced boIshevik tendencies and as a consequence the immigration authorities decided to- night to hold Zilbourg at Ellis Island for further investigation.
 MT. Gompers declined to discuss his 1 mission abroad, but said he might
 make a statement tomorrow.

 AFRAIDOF THE DARK EXTRAORDINARY

for open discussion and consequently there vii be opportunity for general debate unless steps are faken to pre- vent it.
 The council of four is strongly op- opsed to official publication of the peace treaty before it's submission to the Germans. It maintains that it is allowing positive decisions to be an- nounced and that consequently the public will be advised on all the main points before the treaty is signed.
 This piecemeal and incomplete pub licaton is unsatisfactory 10 many of the delegates who are urging that the people of the allied countries should have the text of the peace treaty from their officials before the Germans an nounce it with their interpretations.

 PARIS, April 1o.-(By the Associated Press)-The League of Nations com paission adopted tonight new section to the covenant, specifically providing that the Monroe doctrine is not to be affected by the provisions of the coV- onant. The Monroe doctrine amend msnt was prepared by Colonel Edward M House.
 It was expected that the Japanese amendment also would be brought up again at toneht's meeting. The presi- dents call on Baron Makino. head of the Japanese delegation, today, had a bearing on this amendment.
 At the meeting oi the commission on al League Of Nations ten sections Of 1he covenant were considered and passed The Japanese amendment was not reached and the actual text of the sector eXemnting the Monroe doctrine from the provisions of the covenant of tho League of Nations is not yet available.
 American commissioners stated how ever. that the doctrine was definitely u2med in the provisions guaranteeing that il will not he affected by the terms in the covenant. Another meeting will ha held tonight when it is hoped that the work will be completed
 The adoption of the section exempt ing the Monroe doctrine was the only real exemption made during the meet ing last night. President Wilson of fered the amendment and made a plea io' it. saying that he believed the doc- trine was protected under the terms of iho covenant as they stood. but because ul the demands for specific exemption, he felt it imperative that the amend ment should be added. There was some asverse argument but the amendment was adopted without prolonged discus sion.

 The allies fought stubbornly in the streets for many hours, but finally retreated to the port, where they were rescued by allied ships. The French troops suffered most.
 The advices from Bucharest say the retreat of the allies has greatly encouraged the boIsheviki.
