CAHILL COMPANY IN HANDS OF RECEIVER
Firm With Branch in Mcriden and 1 Plainvillc, Finds This Step

Meriden, May 3.-Although its books shows Assets of $200,000 with
 liabilities of s1O0,000, the w. J. Ca hill company local wholesale grocers, who maintain warehouse at 19 North George street and one in Plain- vile, have found it necessary to place their affairs in the hands of re- ceiver.
 Acting for the concern, w. c. Muel- Ter entered the application in the su- perior court at New Haven yesterday, and Daniel J. Donovan was appointed to take temporary charge of the busi- ness. The court set May 12 as the date for a hearing for the confrr3a- ton of the appointment of the receiv- CT and for the selection of two ap- praisers.
 The Cahill company is in good f1- nancial condition and it's business will be continued. The step is taken as a precautionary measure to offset the disadvantages of attachments which might arise from a present shortage of cash. The company has many large accounts receivable among local business houses. and it is through the inability to collect on these accounts that the receivership action is neces- sary.

RUSSIAN OIL LANDS
 SUBJECT OF DEBATE
All Principals Deny Giving Brit.
 ain Any Leases

Genoa, May 8, (By Associated Press).-Oil was a live subject fo, discussion in Genoa conference circles today, with everybody denying thai anything definite had been done about disposing of Russin's big oil fields or granting monopoies for the distribu- ton of the oil produced there. M Rakovsky, spokesman for the Russian soviet delegation, declared that no contract had been signed with the Shell group of English oil companies as widely published, while Col. Boyle, representative of the Shell Transport and Trading Co. issued a statement declaring it absolutely untrue that his company had made new contracts with the Russians.
 My company has had negotiations with the soviet, based on former and still existing trade agreements be- tween England and the soviet for several months concerning oil con sessions but nothing is settled" he said. T met M. krassin (soviet min ister of foreign trade) in Genoa and told him I could not discuss conces- sions until the conference was ended and we knew the exact relations be- tween our governments"
 "On the other hand some oS the delegations say they have information that important contracts have been signed and only need ratification by the Moscow government. These con- tracts are alleged to provide for monoply of the distribution of half, ard some say the whole of Russia's oil output.

PLAN HUMAN MISERY
 CRUSADE AT GENEVA
League Of Red Gross Societies
 Sets Itself For Year

Geneva, May 3.-To awaken the hygienic conscience of the world and to wage crusade against human misery by prevention rather than by cure is the task which the League of Red Cross societies, founded by Am erican initiative has set itself for the coming year.
 Addressing the third yearly con- vention Of the league, Sir Claude Hill director general, declared s5 per cent of the mental and bodily ills of hu-
 manity was avoidable.
 Tt is demonstrable." said Sir Claude, that humanity at large. ow- ing to it's mishandlng of itself, has succeeded in rendering nugatory, or at all events has failed to take ad- vantage of the many discoXeries which science has placed at it's disposal. Medical and hygienic science have ad- vanced to such point that by far the greater proportion of the disease and suffering in the world can be pre- vented if men and women but knew how to keep themselves healthy by their own intelligent volition."
 The definite methods by which Red Cross activity can be directed to this end the director general of the lea gue said, are three: The enIighten- ment of public opinion by popular health instruction, the development of public health nursing. and the exten- sion of the Junior Red Cross. the childrens branch.
 He gave many details of the re- markable work accomplished by the school children of America during and since the war and he believed the Junior Red Cross movement, more than anything else. would effect a revolution in the worlds outlook upon the problem of preventabe disease and avoidabe misery.

A Magnificent Failure.

The attempt of two army fiiers,
MAcREADY and KELLY, to cross the
continent in one flight was both a
failure and success. They were
compelled to land at Indianapolis,
water jackets of their engine having
cracked, but their score was 1850
miles, record for nonstop jour-
ney in the air. They had flown
nearly 100 miles further than ALcoCK
and BROWN went in their immortal
hop of the Atlantic Ocean.
The personal triumph of the two
aviators was a great one. For nearly
twenty-four hours they contended
with motor trouble, boring into
strong head winds and unable to
average more than eighty miles an
hour-a snail's pace as compared
with the terrific speed which has
recently been made in the air.
This attempt of the two brave lieu
tenants was the kind of flight that
helps aviation. They know why they
failed to hit the mark. The science
of the air will benefit by their failure
to leap the continent And it will not
be long before aviators breakfast in
sight of the Pacific and dine on the
shores of Long Island Sound.
