Outlawed.

WASHINGTON. May 15.--The futures
trading act, passed by Congress, last
year, to prevent manipulation Of prices
by speculation In grain, was declared
invalid I'm a decision rendered today by
the United States Supreme Court. The
law was attacked by the Chicago Board
Of Trade, on the ground that futures
trading was not interstate commerce,
under the terms of the law. The de-
cision prevents the destruction Of the
boards system and Is Of Wide Significance
to many smaller grain exchanges.
The Supreme Court sustained this con
tention in part and held that a saving
clause of the law, making parts effective
il others were declared Invalid, was not
operative.

commission Of the Genoa conference to-
day sent reply to the latest Russian
note, proposing that the Genoa parley

seemed to be that the Russian negotia-

order that she may supply these credits.
The plan for The Hague is that the
allies and the United States meet and
appoint a single committee of experts on
Russia. In whose hands the entire prob
lem OF relations and credits can be
placed
Meanwhile the Genoa conference is to
be adjourned. 1t will be wound up with
plenary session this week and COM
missions appointed not by the conference
but by Individual governments will meet

The Russians who blocked efforts at
agreement here have not agreed to the
plan. The political subcommissien was

 B|G SUM ON ARMY
Army Now Numbers More Than 1,500,000 Men.
 Pay Is Small
By Associated Press

Moscow. March 4.-Soviet Rus sia's military appropriation for the first nine months of 1929 totals 556,- o2s,06s gold rubles, CT about S22S,- 100000. It's naval appropriations az gregated $36,000.000, bringing the to- tai contemplated expenditures for army and navy to about $264 .0O. 900, according to the budget approved by the recent Congress.
 This expenditure is based on the present size of the army and navy. The army, according to latest reports, numbers somewhat over 1,5o0,000 men and the combined strength of the soldiers, the naval personnel and special troops is about 100000.
 Food and forage for the army is provided for in an appropriation az gregating about $70.000, 900 which is greater than the amount of money America has already given for the relief of famine in the Volga dis tricts and more than the amounts given by all foreign countries to re- Iieve distress in Soviet Russia. Soldiers Pay Small
 Western soldiers particularly American soldiers, will be amazed at the low rate of pay for military men. An ordinary soldiers pay is 20.0O0 ru- DIeS d month. Nnltn IS only dDOut lu cents, or less than the price of a Russian pound of white bread. Cap tsins get the equivalent of about S1.50. Division commanders receive about s8 a month.

 The supreme economic council which is endeavoring to reconstruct Russian industry gets $77,e00, 900; agriculture gets s2e,oOe ,oeo; educa- ton, s61 100000; and the department of health s5S S,eo0, 900.
 The contemplated expenditures to- tai 1,S77, 100000 gold rubles while the estimated income totals 1,647, ,00o, GOO gold rubles. leaving deficit equiva- lent to about SIS, 5,oeo, ,oeo.
 The chief sources from which it is estimated the states income will be derived are nationalized industries which are expected to yield $44s, ,0eo 900 and $213.e0o, 900 income from grain and other products taken as taxes in kind. The income from transportation is placed at $4s 1000, eco.

London, March 4.-London ciuD- land has for long time been in bad way financially, and something like crisis seems to have set in at the end of the year. 1t is said that resignations from prominent clubs have been pouring in by the hundreds and that club secretaries are at their wits end how to carry on.
 One club has already sent out an S. o. $. to it's members. begging them to pay their dues for 1922 during the current month. failing which there will be a foreclosure of the club premises.
 Few men nowadays telong to more than one club, instead of half dozen, as was the rule in more prosperous times and commercially valuable members. meaning those who go to their club daily and spend money there on food, wine and cigars, are somewhat scarce.
