Man Found Dead in Basement
Brother of Dead Man Com
mitted Suicide in Same
Place Year Ago at Okla
homa City; Foul Play Is
Suspected

OKLAHOMA CITY.--Lee Fox. ad-
ministrator and active manager of a
local transfer company, was found dead
in the basement of the company's build
ing here early Tuesday. There was a
deep cash across his forehead and an
other on his chin.
Coroner A. Il. McWillams said he
had not yet concluded whether Fox met
his death accidentally or was murdered.
There was possibility, the coroner
said, that Fox could have fallen down
the elevator shaft. A brick, covered
with blood and on which has been i'm
pressed with what was thought to have
been human hair, was found near the
body by the police. This apparently de-
MED the accident theory, some said.
Fox was 80 years old. His brother,
Charles. committed suicide in the base
ment OF the same building a year ago.
The wounds from which Fox died
could not have been selfinclicted, au'
thorities said they believed.

Prophets Believe Only Lloyd

aster of Political Crux
of Europe

GENOA.-The CONSERVATION caused
by the German-Russian coup including
the treaty of Rapallo, supplanting the
Brest-Litovsk pact. showed no signs
of abating as the economic conference
delegates continued their deliberations
Tuesday.
On the contrary as the different ma.
tional groups examined the text Of the
new agreement and deliberated on its
possible effect upon the future balance
of power in Europe, they were impress
ed with the deep importance the signing
of this separate pact was likely to have
on the general political situation.
The prophets, who,when the economic
conference was inaugurated, predicted
that II would result either in great good
or disaster to Europe were inclined TO
take the view that the congress seemed
to be headed towards disaster, which
only the coolness OF Prime Minister
Lloyd George and other conference
leaders could prevent. Some men in
allied circles read into the Russa-Ger'
man treaty, and especially the manner
in which II was signed. a future be-
tween these two countries.

The cruX of the situation is expected
TO be reached the latter part of the

make known the prospect of reduction

accept.
In the meantime the reserve stocks,
first estimated to be sufficient for
about ten weeks, remain almost intact
