u. S. TO ACCEPT BID?
american Reply to Genoa Invita-
ton Has Gone Forward.
ambassador ChiIds Communicates Ac-
ceptance to Schanzer, Says Dis
patch From italian City.

Washington, May 16.-The Ameri-
ican reply to the invitation from Genoa
ITO participate In a new discussion of
the Russian question at The Hague In
June has gone forward.
The decision to act without waiting
for full cabinet session was reached
at White House conference between
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes. Pending the completion
of formal statement setting forth the
views of the United States. which Mr..
Hughes left the White House to, pre-
pare, there was no official indication
whether the reply constituted accept
ance or refusal of the invitation.
Until now, at least, there has been a
wide difference of opinion between the
executive branch Of the government
and leaders In the senate, like Senator
Borah, as to what the policy of the
United States toward Russia should
be.
Senator Borah In the senate voiced
the sentiment of large group in con.
gress by demanding that the United
States recognize the soviet government
of RUSSIA as step necessary for the
economic restoration of Europe. He at
the same time demanded revision of the
separations clauses of the Versailles
treaty so that Germany will be able to
pay.
Genoa, May 16.---It Is declared here
that Ambassador Childs Mt six o'clock
last night communicated to Foreign
Minister Sohanzer, member of the
Italian delegation to the conference
and TO Premier Lloyd George that
America would accept the invitation to
participate in The Hague meeting on
June 10.

FIND APPALLING
INSANITY CASE
JAKE CRONKS COMMITTED
TO ASYLUM-KILLS
ANIMALS

Jake Cronks, aged fifty-three years,
residing two miles north of Dancy in
the town of Knowlton, was found in
his home on Sunday last by neigh
bors in a precarious condition. DR..
E. f. Butler of Mosinee was sum-
moned soon and found that Cronk,
who had lived in the neighborhood for
twenty-five years and had always
been a bachelor, was not only criti-
cally i'll and partially paralyzed, but
that he was insane as well. DR.. But
Ter came to Wausau Immediately to
report the matter to county authori-
ties who provided care and food for
the man. The town authorities,
through the board of health, immedi-
was found that Cronk had shot some
ten animals, five hogs and about the
same number of sheep, and that the
carcasses had been allowed to remain
where the animals fell. These bodies
had decomposed and town authorities
Immediately had them buried. In the
house it was found that Cronk had
been able to crawl about to get his
food and presumably he was unable
to cook anything. Bones were found
on the table and other food that was
rotten and decayed Neigebors had
not been aware of the situation.
On Wednesday Judge Marchetti, R.
E. Hochtritt and one or two of the
county officials visited the home of
Cronk and after adjudging the man
insane, he was committed to the state
asylum but on account of his inability
to stand the trip, he will be taken to
the Marathon County Asylum.
Cronk had flour and potatoes as
well as a little other food but the
Wausau men who visited the scene
believe his condition had prevailed
over a period of several months and
they wonder how he was able to sur
vive so long. The stock that is alive
at present, they say, would surely
have persisted had it not been for the
spring grasses coming up when they
did.

BOMBING PLANES

Machine Guns Also Wanted for Attack

Covington, Ky. Dec. 12.-Prepara-

equipped with bombing planes and ma
chine guns for an onslaught on the
mountain stronghold Of Bob Billiards.
band of Menifee county moonshiners
are being made by federal authorities
according to three officials who re-
turned to Covington from Mount Ster-
ling yesterday.
They had been part OF the posse of
80 prohibition agents who were re-
pulsed after r. f. Duff and David
Treadquay, prohibition agents, had been
shot and killed in a three days siege
of the moonshiners, near Slate creek.
The three officers, Elmer Correll,
James Weed and w. c. Huddlestone
said the war department would be APP
pealed to for two bombing planes and
number of machine guns, pointing
out that only by bombing the entire
mountain would it be possible to drive
the moonshiners from the caves and
natural barricades afforded in the wild
section of the state.
Belief that moonshiners from other
districts were constantly reinforcing
those entrenched in the Slate creek sec-
tion was expressed by Correll.
