FRANCE APPEALS
TO UNCLE SAMUEL
TO ENTER C0NFA|B 1
Can Dominate and Not
Be Bound by Acts at
Genoa
ALL POWERS WANT US .
France Will Agree to Let
Russia in If We
Go In
fBy Associated press,

1 Genoa, May 13.-France has APP
pealed to the United States to partic-
ipate in the proposed international
commission to investigate the Rus
sian situation. The American am
bassador, Richard sWashburn Child,
informed the Associated Press to-
night that such a proposal had been
submitted to him by the French deli
egation.
The. ambassador understood that
the French proposal suggests that
the United States. if the invitation is'
accepted, would have a dominant
vocie in the action of the. commission,
but would not be bound by her ac-
ceptance to any decision Of the COM
mission which she did not approve.
If the United States accepts France
would agree to the Russians being
represented in the commission. I,
Premier Lloyd-George and M.
Barthou were in private conference
for two hours this afternoon, appar-
emily without reaching an agreement
for. solving the Anglo-French dead
lock on the plans to continue the, dis
oussions of the. Russian problems.
The sub commissions on Russian af-
fairs also met and argued for more
than three hours without definite re-
suits. ~--F% 80.
The Russians have announced
that they will not accept any plan
excluding them from the discussion.
On one thing all the delegations
agree, the inviting powers, the little
entente and the Baltic entente,s as
well as the neutrals, namely, that
somehow the United States must be
induced to participate in the mixed
commission. ss

ters facing the Methodist, Episcopal

tions also will participate in the

ence authorized commission of Is,

ton of the various church boards.

said. ~

organization proposal the conference
concluded quantity of routine busi-
ness at today's session and officials
said prepared the way for the cleo
tion of bishops and other church of,
ficers scheduled to begin Tuesday.

ence ON record as condemning "mob
rule, organized or unorganized."
Efforts within the committee to
have the resolution mention one or
ganization, in particular, failed, it is
said. Elk

AUTO WRECK TRAIN

1t Struck
CBy Associated Preasl

Batavia, N. Y, May 49,
Three dead, % in hospitals in
this city and score or more
with minor injuries were the
casualties in the wreck of the
Black Diamond Express on the
Lehigh Valley railway at North
Leroy today. Two women, still
unconscious early tonight, were
among the more seriously injur-
ed. The dead are a travelling
salesman, a trainman and Thorn
as r. Brodie, of Leroy.
The wreck, according to Engineer
Moser of the Black Diamond, was
caused by the attempt of Brodie to
get his automobile across the track
at street crossing ahead of the
train. The engine struck the auto
mobile squarely, tossed it ahead and
ran into the debris, which lifted the
the front trucks of the engine from
the rails.
The train was moving at 65 miles
an hour, Engineer Moser said, and as
its speed was checked by the derail-
ed engine, it buckled, and five cars
which were pinched out, crashed
down a 40-foot embankment. They
wer ethe smoker, day coach and
