GERMANS ACCEPT
 CONDITIONS LAID
 DOWN BY ALLIES
Day Closes at Genoa, HoW- ever, With No Definite Progress Over Situation
 of Previous Day
By Associated Press

Genoa, April 2O.--The economic conference was tonight without a definite settlement of the Russo German incident after day given over to private conversations. con- ferences between the Germans and Russians and all sorts of ententes and a great assembly of the world s press called by Premier Lloyd George, who addressed the newspa- per representatives of forty nations and announced that the Germans would accept the conditions Imposed by the allies and that the Russian attitude toward the London experts report will be such that further ne- gotiations would be possible.
 After Lloyd George had made his statement the Germans announced they were still considering their reply to the note denying them ad- mittance to discussion of the Rus sian question unless the treaty was at least amended and approved by the conference. The Russians also have withheld official publication of their reply to the London experts re- port, which had been promised for today.
 In short, the day closed with no de- finite advance over the position of the previous day, but with general feeling that the Germans will take an attitude which will make the sit- uation easier and pave the way for a conference agreement on the Rus sian problem.
 Answer Expected Today
 One of the Italian delegates said the German answer was expected Friday morning at which time Signor Shanzer. the Italian foreign minister, would convene a meeting of the al- lies together with Rumania. Poland. Switzerland and Sweden for an ex- change of ideas on the Russian reply. which may have been deliverel by then.
 According to the French spokes- the allied powers, not France, had prepared a resolution calling for ad- journment of the conference. The delegation brought the resolution to the meeting which drew up the pro- test to Germany. but being satisfied with the text of the protest, decided not to present the resolution.
 This spokesman added that the French were not so optimistic as MT. Lloyd George, certainly France was not wiling to pay a price without limit merely to bring about suc- cessful conference. As indicative of the confusion here. he explained that the French information tonight was that the Germans might decide to go back to Berlin, with the understand ing that they should return to Genoa when their participations in the de- Alterations was required.

ow of a clump Of bushes. One of the
negroes struck Turnland across the head
and tried to knock him down, While
the second attacked Miss Swenson. The
girl began to scream and Turnland man
aged to beat off his assailant and ran
to her assistance. He grappled with
the negro who had been assaulting the
young woman and was getting the best
of him in the fight when the negro
pulled a knife and began to slash back
and forth across Turnlands face and
arms.
Miss Swenson rushed out into Central
Park West, screaming for aid, as Turn
land dropped to the ground, weak from
the loss Of blood. The negroes then
disappeared taxicab driver heard
Miss Swensons cries and followed her
into the park. Turnland was bleeding
so profusely that Miss Swenson thought
he would die before medical aid could
be given him, so she tore up white
skirt she was wearing into narrow strips,
which she bound around his wounds.

began to search the park. Detective
James ]. Farley arrested James King
%. a negro of 81 West Ninety-ninth

identity. He was held in $4,000 ball to
await the outcome of Turnland's in1ur-
les when arraigned before Magistrate

was faced yesterday by Leroy and Eva
Lavoy, brother and sister of the dead
girl, in the corridor of the jail. They
demanded that he retract statements
he made that he was on more than
friendly terms with their sister. Greasy,
glaring at them, shouted:
Everything said about her is true,
and what's more she had other affairs,

Leroy Lavoy rushed at him. but jail
attendants and Assistan. District Attor-
ney Elvin M. Edwards grabbed him and
Eeld him while the prisoner was hustled
back to his cell. Greasy has told the
authorities that Miss Lavoy committed
suicide while he was asleep on a couch
in the parlor of her boarding house at
156 North Main street, Freeport
Mr.. Edwards said the autopsy showed
that the shot which killed Miss Lavoy
was fired at least six inches or more
from her head. He added it would have
been impossible for the young woman
to have fired the shot without leaving
some powder marks and that the az
topsy showed the body had been moved
after the killing.
Charles w. Hansen. Nassau county's
fingerprint expert, said that he found
bloodstains on the right sleeve of
Creasy's shirt after making a micro
scopic picture test. He declared that
the young woman was shot while sit
ting up on the couch with her right
leg under her left and not while lying
down.
District Attorney Weeks last night
said that he felt confident there was
already enough evidence to bring about
the conviction of Greasy for first de-
gree murder. He had a talk with
Leroy and Eva Lavoy. who came here
late Saturday night from Tupper Lake.

II will have no difficulty in proving that
my client is innocent of the crime. This

things she had given him.
Greasy has insisted to me that he
has never attacked the character Of Miss
