WASHINGTON, May 15.-The State
Department made public tonight the
text Of a message to Ambassador Child
at Genoa declining the invitation to
participate in the new European eco
nomic conference at The Hague.
This government" the American
communication said, lis unable to con-
in the meeting at the Hague as this
would appear to be the continuance
under a different nomenclature of the
Genoa conference and destined to en-
counter the same difficulties if the atti-
tude disclosed in the Russian memoir
andum of May 11th remains unchang-
ed"
The unacceptable and ultimate ques-
ton the American note read, would
appear to be the restoration of pro-
ductivity in Russia, the essential con-
dition of which are still to be secured
and must in the nature of things be
provided within Russia herself
The State Departments communi-
cation said the American government
''has always been ready" to join other
governments IN arranging for t'ans in-
quiry by experts into the economic
situation in Russia and the necessary
remedies" such an inquiry, 1t was
added could deal appropriately with
the economic prerequisites" for restor-
alton OF Russian production without
which sound basis for credits would
be lacking.
In conclusion the American commun-
ication renewed the offer to ''give seri-
Gus attention" to amy new proposals
issuing from % Genoa conference or
any later conference" but added, that
the suggestions for the meeting at The
Hague in view Of the Russian memor-
andum lacked "the .definiteness which
would make possible the concurrence
of this government in the proposed
PLAN

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

WASHINGTON, May 15.-JThe child
labor law was declared unconstitution-
N today by the supreme court.
The law enacted in 1919, was in
tended to regulate the employment OF
children under IA years OF age in any
min, oannery. workshop, factory or
manufacturing establishment or in any
mine or quarry under is years. by inn
posing an excise tax Of 10 per cent up

ploying such labor. 1t was attacked on
the ground that il attempted to regu-
late an exclusie state function, in vi
olation OF the federal constitution and

ed as mere excise tax levied by con-
eress under its broad power OF taxa
tlon conferred by the federal eonstitu-
tion
The opinion was delivered by Chief
Justice Tart with no dissent an
nounced.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The house
cleared the road today for what some
members described as IAN unrelenting
prosecution Of the war grafters" when
it put through and sent to the senate
a bin anproprieting 100000 for in
vestigation and prosecution Of war
fraud cases by the department Of jus
tice, and passed senate bill for an
additional grand jury in the District
OF Columbia, before which the attor-
ney general may present evidence in

Attorney General Daugherty had re-
quested speedy action on both meas
ures.
Some men "who think they have
power in the nation today viii find
themselves behind the bars as a result
OF the activity OF Attorney General

LAKE BUTLER, Fla, May Is
Charges OF accepting a brlbe during
his term OF office against former Gov
ernor Sidney ]. Cats. of Florida con-
tanned in a grand jury indictment
more than a year ago, We're dismissed
here today when Circuit Judge Long
sustained a defense motion that the
indictment be quashed
Today's action cleared the former
executive OF any malfeasance in office
growing out of his alleged acceptance
OF money to influence his vote for the
pardon Of a life term convict, j. b.
Coleman.
The defense argued that the indict-
ment was faulty in that although Cole
man was alleged TO have profited by
the governors alleged wrong doing
the indictment did not specify or claim
that he presented the bribe. The state
charged that ]. J Mendenhall, serving
life sentence for the murder Of two
women near Clearwater several years
ago. acted as the go-betwsen, but Men
denhalEs alleged part was not covered
specifically IN the Indictment.
While governor. Mr.. Cats was ex-
officio chairman OF the pardon board.
Still pending against him is a fed
eral indictment charging peonage, in
that he is alleged to have held two ne
groes on his farm in west Florida to
work out a. debt.
The former governor appeared here
today for the second time to stand
trial on the acceptance OF the bribe
charges Once before when the case
was called up a continuance was grant
ed on motion of the prosecution.
The indictment was returneM at
Starke, county seat Of Bradford coun-
ty, wherein il located the state peni-
tentiary. in the spring OF 1920. 1t
charged specially that the former gov
efnor had accepted 500 in the matter
OF Coleman's pardon. At this time the
governors official actions were the
subject Of legislative investigation.
subsequently the legislative committee
made public its report, which, how
ever contained only resume OF tes-
timony OF witnesses heard At the time
the indictment was returned the gov
ernor was out OF the state and Brad
ford county officials charged with
serving the warrant for his arrest, pro-
fessed not to know OF his whereabouts.
Within a few days the federal indict-
ment charging peonage was returned
at Pensacola, Fla, and on this indict-
ment Mr.. Cats was arrested at AL
bany. Ga. He came back to the state
undor hond on that charge and then
went to StarSe to give bond on the
state charge. He had not heard of his
indictment there, he said.
Subsequently a division OF Bradford
county was created, which necessi-
tated the transferring OF the case to
this place.
The former governor was highly
elated at today's result and asserted
that the federal charge would result
in his acquittai He termed the entire
affair as political persecution.

quested continuance until the fall

Berry of Waycross. Ca Both witnesses
returned to their homes a few days
ago after having spent the winter here.

tive for the killing. Berry's wife, the
.affidavits set forth is invalid and
Berry employed Mrs. Shields to nurse
her. Later he discovered the loss of his
pistol and went to the shields home
where he found it concealed on the
piano. Berry is quoted as having ask

found concealed in her clothes a gold
watch belonging to Shields. When the
sheriff searched Shields body the
watch chain was still on his person
but the watch had apparently been torn

motion for continuance arguing that
