Genoa Delegates
Optimistic Over
Assembly Future
TRepublican A. p, Leased Wire1


GENOA, April 16.-A feeling of OPP
tinism pervades conference circles,
truly in keeping with the Easter
spirit. Signor Schanzer, the Italian
foreign minister, speaking with the
Associated Press correspondent to-
day, indicated his full confidence in
the results OF the conference.
1T is already great and historic, .
he said, "but above all of moral value
which must inevitably lead to sat
isfactory consequences. 1t is, how
ever too early IN the proceedings to
hazard q prediction as to the magni-
ture and extent OF the final results
which the conference may reach.
The spirit OF tolerance shown by the
delegations Of the leading countries,
despite the alarInist reports circu-
lated, is a. good omen for the work
of parification Of Europe
The first week of the conference
ended with what on Monday last ap-
peared ianpossible---a tendency to a
Russia. The Russian delegates have
clearly understood during these seven
days that, despite Anglo French diff
ferences OF opinion. they can not
count on rupture between the two
leading allies: so that their only hope
of obtaining what they desire in the
conference is to come to an under
standing with France.
The French delegates, on their side,
realize that a rupture with England
and conflict with Russia would
virtually mean the isolation of France
so that force of circumstances brings
them to seek compromise with
Russia.

templating the decisive vote by which
the house yesterday recorded it's ap-
proval OF an $4,000 man navy as rec
commended by President Harding and
American naval experts, over one Of
$1,000 men advocated by the commit

leaders were undecided today wheth-
er to press the matter to q formal
vote in the house proper
In the absence OF definite infor7na-
ton and anticipating a demand for
a record vote. Representative McAr-
thur. Republican of Oregon, one OF
the leaders in the first for the IN
crease, announced that telegrar
had been sent to all supporters OF the
amendment to return here Tuesday.
II was generally understood that
Chairman Kelly, in charge OF the bill,
would insist on a separate vote on
the amendment. Under the rules one
fifth Of the members on the floor
would nave TO stand up for q roll
call in order to obtain it.
Some of the members supporting
the conlmittee bill We're doubtful
whether the vote yesterday OF III to
$50 could be changed il another poll
were taken. Mr.. Macarthur declared
advocates OF the amendment were
satisfied new test would show an
even wider margin in favor OF it.
There was no accurate count as to
how the Democrats divided on $4,000
proposal. Offhand 1t was stated they
split about even, but the Democratic
leaders asserted that the party stood
about 2 TO / for the committee report.
Members of the subcommittee
which framed the bill. said today that
amendment providing increases for
the sections relating to engineers,
ordnance and construction and repair
would be offered Tuesday by mem
bers OF the appropriate committee
who signed a minority report oppos-
ing the $1,000 limitation. The Nc
Arthur amendment adopted Saturday
increased from $4,000, coo to $107.-
900, 900 the amount carried in the bill
for pay OF officers and men in 1873
to meet the increase in personnel.
Chairman Madden of the appr0pria-
tions committee told the house that
an increase to $4,000 enlisted men
would add 6O,000,000 to the total Of
$2SS, 100000 carried by the bill.

Tillkhan1 Says Anti
Saloon League Is
Running Congress


WASHINGTON, April 16.-Repre-
sentative Tinkham, Republican of
Massachusetts, said in a statement
today that charges recently made by
him in the house that the Anti
Saloon league of America had failed
to comply with the corrupt practices
act were now before the depart
ment of justice and will be acted
upon in due season" The cases
against the league, he added, ARE
complete with the evidence necessary
for indictment and conviction when
presented to grand jury and federal
criminal court Reiterating his
charge that the league had failed to
report "all contributions on the
statement filed under protest" by
Wayne B. Wheeler in 1910, Mr.. Tink-
hams statement ssZd:
THE Anti-Saloon league of Amer
lea has not denied the charges but
last Friday issued characteristic
propaganda statement in relation to
prohibition and the Anti Saloon
leagues well known formula of AN
archy' and 'nullification,' as il it
alone were interested in protecting
the United States from anarchy and
notification. In this propaganda
statement, it had the audacity to ap-
peal for law enforcement when the
Anti Saloon league itself was charged
with serious crimes.
THE Anti-Saloon league controls
the congress of the United States,
has dictated executive appointments.
and by recent disclosures here in
Washington, is shown to have at
tempted to dictate judicial appoint :.
ments and the administration of JUS
