TENSION EVIDENT

Extreme tension was evident as a result of today's discussions, and it is believed throughout the conference that another critical stage has been reached. One of the most responsible authorities asso- ciated with President Wilson said that he would not be surprised if American par ticipation was brought to an early close if the delays over details were carried much further.
 The differences still remaining on the subjects of frontiers and separations are comparatively light, he added, and yes these slight differences are so persist ently maintained as to threaten to ere ate prolonged delays, which the Presi- dent and American delegation are nor willing to accept.
 The President was described by one who saw him during the day as standing firm in his determination to make no further concessions. He insists that the principles which were definitely agreed upon at the time of the armistice are at stake There is little doubt that the Presidents stand has been made known to the other members of the council, but since his illness he has not personally conferred with any of them. excepting Colonel House.
 The existing tension led to many re- ports of decisive action whi0h the Amer ican delegation was said to be about to take These reports were more or less ex- aggerated, yet all seemed plausible in view of the Presidents determined atti- tude.

MAY VIOLATE LAWS

Some legal advisers of Attorney General Palmer believe clearly that the starNdardizing of prices, as evil denced last week by the uniform bids on steel for the navy, constitute violation of trust laws. or at least that the practice might soon develop into violations. This attitude, however IS based to certain extent on hypothet- ical considerations which the depart ment of justice would not recognize in any formal action. Neither is this attitude to be considered as neces- sarily Indicating the final view that the attoEney general will take. it was explained.
 The legality of the industrial boards course. however, is not as im- mediate problem before that body as the practical question of whether the railroad administration, now the gov. ernment'$ largest agency purchasing quantities of steel, coal and other ma terials will agree to the prices ai- ready set for steel. or to other prices 10 be determined in the future. If d practical settlement of the dispute can be found, if is considered probable that the department of justice then will be asked for an opinion on the legality.

By Associated Press

Paris. April 7.-The peace con-
 ference has apparently reached the
 turning point between definite and
 speedy results and further prolonged
 delays. The indications today were
 toward action, but new doubts be-
 gan to appear as to whether the de-
 sired results could he accomplished
 within fortnight as Premier
 Lloyd George and Colonel House
 have predicted.
 The council of four was to have met at II o'clock this morning at the White House." where the President is still confined to bed, but able to consult with his colleagues in emer- sencies. It developed, however. that Premier Lloyd George has been affect ed in a similar manner as the Presi- dent, which has confined him also to his bed. A morning session of the council was, therefore, impossible.
 1t was then determined to have the council meet at MT Lloyd Georges residence so as to be near him, and here the session began at S:30 o'clock this afternoon with Premier Clemen- ceau, Premier Orlando, Colonel House and all the financial experts present. Preparations was again the chief issue, and, although settled in the main prin- ciple mum ber of essential details still remained open.
 Che of the American experts summed Up the situation as he entered the meet ing, saying:
 The chances are favorabel to an agre- ment, but we have not agreed yet.'
 The principles which seem to be set tied are that reparation and restoration shall be in accordance with the Presi- dents seventh and eighth points, and the alies' reply to the Presidents note, and also that the actual damage and destruc- ton shall be the main basis for estimat. ing the damages, and that the commis- sion shall formulate categories or classes of these damages. Payment is to be spread over a period of years without a specific total being fixed and>the initial payments probably will be required within the first two years.
 At the close of the councils session it was stated that no agreement had beer reported on reparations or other subjects, and that the discussion on reparations would be resumed tomorrow with Presf- dent Wilson possibly present.

Booze Causes Wreck

Three farmers said to live five
miles east of Chula and taveling
in q Ford car had bad spill a
mile west of town Saturday after
noon, and the only reason advanc-
ed why they were not killed or
seriously injured is that they were
all timber drunk. F" They had
been to Brookfield of course and
as they went through Laclede they
drove at u reckless speed, the car
swerving from one side of the
road 10 the other, the man at the
wheel being so drunk his head
laid on bis shoulder. Just west of
the L. T. Rowland home the car
turned turtle and lay crosswise of
the road, the wheels in the air and
the three men underneath it.
Two of the men crawled out
and with assistance that had
arrived lifted the car off the
driver who seemed to be suffering
more from internal poison than
from Forditis. The two who were
able to be up and around" )" re-
membered the advise of President
Wilson to continue the use of
beer, and began pulling corks and
drenching themselves with the
suds. They were all cut and bruis-
ed and covered with blood but did
not seem to be seriously injured.
A trouble car from the Power
Garage brought the men and
the wrecked car in and after
some repairs had been made and a
son of one of the men arrived they
again started for home.
One of the men gave his name
as Trumbo and another as Graham,
while the other fellow hid his
identity by charging himself up to
the Jones family.

are altogether too frequent, are
serious menace to travel and are
not worthy Of sympathy when they
