League of Nations Will Be
Asked to Do Something
for Relief Staffs.

Constantinople. May 19-(By The
Associated Press s)-Publication of re-
ports by American relief workers in
the interior of Asia Minor concerning
the systematic persecution of Chris
tians by the Turkish nationals has
jeopardized the position of the work
ers, it is declared in American mis-
sionary circles here.
Many of these reports had been sub
mitted confidentially to the League of
Nations and it is believed that prompt
and energetic action by the powers is
necessary to assure safety of the
agents. now that publicity has been
given TO their evidence.
All the workers corroborate the sto-
ries of atrocities, especially the prog
ress of the so-called white massacres
which consist of driving parties of
Christians from place to place until
they die from sickness, famine or ex-
haustion.
The statement issued by the Turkish
nationalist representative here, that
some of the missionaries and rellef
workers had denied the reported afro
cities. is declared by the missionary
authorities to be fabrication.

New York, May 19.-(By The As.

Sheet and Tube company Friday with
drew from the proposed merger of
independent steel companies, leaving
only five of the original seven COM

EXPLAINS PRICES OBTAINED
BY MONTANA WOOL MEN

Helena, May Accommodating on
The Associated Press report quoting
the department of agriculture at Wash
ington, showing a material shortage of
spring lambs and q resultant smaller
supply of wool in the western sheep
country. H. II. Pigott. secretary of the
Montana Wool Growers association,
said there is no contracting of lambs
in Montana this season. and that flock
masters are holding for not less than
9 cents. There are no mutton
ewes for sale. as thev are being held
for the purpose of building up the
flocks. Mr.. Pigott said.
Real Pinch Year Hence
THE shortage Of wool. not only in
the United States but throughout the
world" said Mr.. Pigott, lis seen in the
prices demanded by Montana and other
western growers for this years clips,
and which they are receiving, as re-
corded in sales thus far. 1t is gener-
ally anticipated that the shortage will
continue in 1923. since this years
stocks will not more than meet the
worlds milling demands and this will
be accentuated by this springs short
age in the lamb crop reported by the
federal department. This lamb crop
shortage will not be reflected. insofar
as wool supply is concerned, however,
until a year from now.
$50 far as reports from over Mon
tana are concerned. the lamb crop in
Montana is a little better than the
20 per cent Of normal reported in other
western States said Mr.. Pigott.

ing at Harvard, and William Connell,
of Cambridge. carpenter, were in
stantly killed Friday by the explosion
of a tank of liquid oxygen in the base
ment of the jefferson physical labora-

Paul Hoover, Newton Falls, Ohio,
an assistant, and six other students,
were injured.
Dunbar was blown to pieces. Con-
nell, who was working in an adjoining
room, was killed by the shock of the
explosion.
Dunbar was engaged in liqulifying
oxygen under pressure, using q com !
pressor. Graduate students, who had
been assisting Dunbar in his expert
ments, advanced the theory that the
accident was due to a leakage of oil
into the liquid oxygen tank.
Dunbar had just recovered from in
juries caused by similar. though less
powerful explosion. more than month
ago. He returned to his duties only
two weeks ago. According to men en-
gagged in research with him, he was
trying to work out a cheaper process
for the manufacture of certain gases
for commercial use and also was in
vapor pressure. Part of his
work was experimentation for the Uni
ted States government.
The jefferson physical laboratory
was completed in October. 1884. All
the instruction general physics is given
in this building. The two lower floors
of the building were badly damaged.
Fire, breaking out immediately after
the accident. was brought under con-

Smaller States Feel
Peeved at Failure to

Genoa, May 19.-(By The Associated
Press. THE dominant thought in Ge-
noa Friday night as the delegations to
the economic conference were leaving
or packing their trunks preparatory to
departing for their homelands seeming
ly was that, although the conference
was thing of the past as far as Genoa
is concerned, its achievements would
live and contribute much to the pacifi-
cation and reconstruction of Europe.
The officials of some of the smaller
states undoubtedly will go home dis
appointed. perhaps angry, because their
troubles have not been settled at Ge-
noa. Lithuania. for example. is cha
grined that Genoa has not chased the
Polish troops from Lithuanian terri
tory; and the small Russian republics
bordering the Caspian and Black sea
are grived because Genoa failed to free
them from bolshevik rule.
Europe Kept from Over Edge
But, as a whole. the belief prevails
that the Genoa conference, despite dis
putes which almost pushed Europe to
the edge of precipioe, has resulted in
the beginning of better understandings
among the nations of Europe. including
Russia. Every official admitted this
Friday night
France, which came here reluctantly
almost suspiciously, goes away with
more confidence. Louis Barthou. vice
premier in the French cabinet. and
Frances chief delegate TO the confer
ence, in his final words to the press
at night, declared it was his convic-
tion that the Genoa conference. which
he called "the child of Cannes" was
today in good health. and that he saw
no reason why the infant could not
journey safely to The Hague and there
thrive and prosper.
Too Many Godfathers
The child was all right at birth. said
NJ. Rarthou, but the trouble was it
had too many godfathers in the form
of "a nations which either we're jealous
Of. or detested. one another.
The greatest danger of ALL" con-
tinued NJ. Bartbou, was that the child
would prove the cause of split be
tween the godfathers who had come to
Genoa as allies. | wds not always in
accord with David Lloyd George; in
deed, we have had serious differences
since the first day. But I desire to
answer him that the relations between
Great Britain and France are better
today than at the opening of the Ge-
noa conference
And if Germany is sincere, there is
no reason why We cannot go on with
her in harmony. The Russians gained
something at Genoa. They learned
that we are getting to know them bet
ter. If they show good will. The
Hague conference may bring the fruits
The Genoa conference might have been
danger to Europe. but it has not
proved so. Europe is the better by
his conference
viii Russia Continue to Bar U. So
The question whether the Russian
problem will so develop as to make
possible later participation by the
United States in it's solution was the i
'reat subject of discussion everywhere
