CONFERENCE ADJoURNs
POWERS DESIRE FOR UNITED
STATES AID PROMPTS ACTION.
PROBLEMS OF RUSSIA TO Be
TAKEN TO THE HAGUE FOR
SETTLEMENT.
western Newspaper Union New, ser,,c..,

Gcnoa.-The Genoa economic confer
ence will be reconvened on June 10 ut
The Hague TO discuss Russian ques-
tons, III the plan agreed to Mt pri-
vate conference of the inviting powers
be accepted by the subcommssion on
Russian affairs.
This decision to postpone action rel
alive TO Russia is prompted largely by
the desire OF the European powers to
induce the United States to particl-
pate, and apparently is merely n means
of dissOlvlng the Genoa conference
without admitting that the differences
between France and Great Britain re-
garding treatment OF Russian problems
cannot be reconciled In Genoa.
Sir Edward GrIgg announced that
this compromise plan suggested by
Premier Lloyd George hud been &C.
ccpted by the inviting powers and Will
be passed on by the subcommission on
Russian affairs.
Only vague details are given as to
how the proposed commission or com.
missions to discuss the Russian ques.
ton Will be formed at The Hague, and
the entire scheme seems to be still In
the twilight zone. awaiting Americas
decision whether she will help Europe
TO strnighten out the tangle.
In his statement on the proposed
mixed commission, Sir Edward GrIgg
explained that 1t was practically i'm.
possible for nll the powers in the con-
ference TO have representatives: con-
sequently they would designate a
limited ntrtnl,er to handle Russian at
fairs, just as was done Mt Genon, and
TINT the Russians doubtless would he
allowed more members In their panel
than any other single power would
have in the mixed panel.
In the meantime, n truce will oper-
ate and NIL the nations are to refrain
from making separate agreements
with RUSSIA.
The economic conference seemingly
will last only few days longer. Sew
eral delegates declared that this week
would probably bring 1t to close.
Four months will lie the maximum
time OF the truce suggested In con-
nectlOn with Russian affairs. The
proposed plan of The Hague meeting
provides that n decision must be rem
dered within three months on June 20
to 26, and an additional month will
be allowed within which the powers
may reject or ratify the decision.
Consequently October 20 will be the
extreme limit of the truce.

DISCUSS CITY
BUS CONTROL
No Market Street Parking,
Indemnity, Higher Fee
Are Agreed On
COUNCIL, STREET
BOARD CONFER

The proposed regulation OF buses
in this city was informally discussed
by the members of City Council and
Mayor Leroy Harvey during a recess
of Council last evening
Councils and the directors OF the
Street and Sewer Department are
working in harmony in fixing the
rules for the bus lines, It was
learned. The directors have agreed
to furnish Council with a copy Of
the proposed ordinance before final
passage Suggestions for the ordi-
nance will be offered by Council. It
is the feeling of the Councilmen
that the ordinance should contain
provisions which Will not be dis
criminatory but yet solve the prob
lem of traffic congestion, public
service and safety.
1t is quite certain that the or
dlnance will require the bus lines
to take out indemnity insurance,
that it Will establish certain termln-
ais for the buses, and that they will
not be allowed TO park on Market
street. AS the Street and Sewer De-
partment is planning to repave
King street in the spring, which will
require the removal OF the trolley
tracks on that thoroughfare. It is
probable the buses will be given the
right OF way OF King street. with a
loop on Market street from Front
to Fourth. They would not, how
ever, be permitted to park on Mar
ket street as at present.
The Councilmen, II Is said, are
J opposed to an ordinance which
would deprive the bus lines OF legiti-
mate entrance to the city. such as
! Brandywine. Market or Washington

So far as the ordinance Is con.
