Lapse of The Hague conference was
Inevitable. No decision as to this,
however, had been taken up to
three o'clock this afternoon.
A meeting of the commission on
debts was arranged for later in the
afternoon.
Debate Proves Useless.
Sir Philip Greame, president OF
the commission on property, which
was the body sitting today. an
nounced in the conference at one
O'clock that further discussion
Y seemed useless and brought the
conference to q sudden close after
two hours OF debate in which ne

egates persistently tried to get
Maxim Litvinoff and his associates
Of the Russian delegation to an
swer questions regarded as essen
tial.
These related to the plans for
the restoration Of foreign property
1, ,confiscated by the soviet regime
and the probable time that would
be required to rebuild Russia.
Like Genoa Conference.
Just at the Genoa conference, the
chief bone of contention was the
foreign property that has been
!. nationalized In Russia and 1t did
not apear that the Russians and
non Russians were any nearer an
agreement at The Hague than at
Genoa on that problem, which
wrecked the Genoa conference.
Maxim Litvinoff Of the Russian
delegation said on leaving the con-
ference chamber that further meet
ings were unlikely as the nom
Russians insisted on the. Russians
making promises with regard to
property compenation and giving
guarantees which were impossible
until the Russians knew what cred
Il and loans would be granted,
f N. Litvinoff added that the peace
pact would hold for one month
After the last meeting.
BritOn Ends Discussion.
In the conference session today
Eir Philip Lloyd Greame, after hear
ing the Russian explanation con-
cerning the restitution Of confiscat-
Cd foreign property, announced
that no useful purpose would be
served in continuing the discus
sions and said he would consult
lhis colleagues as to whether any
good could be served by a further
meeting of the sub-commission on
property.
Sir Philip found the, replies Of
0e Russians unsatisfactory be-
cause they declined to make any
promises concerning compensa-
ton.
Litvinoff Flays Others.

Philip Lloyd Greame Of England.

Mrs. Bett volunteered, and spread and
examined her right hand.
"Well!" said Cornish.
She now told thsni about her log

when she was q bride. All her store
of drama and life came from her.
She rehearsed it with far eyes. She
laughed at old delights, dropped at
old fears. She told about her little
daughter who had died at sixteen-a
tragedy such as once would have been
renewed in a vital ballad. At the end
she yawned frankly as it. in some ter

had heard her moving about her room,
and she served her in expectation that
she would join them.
"Di must be having tire 'tantrim'

said nothing But at length she did
say: "Why doesn't Di come? I'd bet
ter put her plate in the oven."
Rising to do so, she was arrested
by her mother. Mrs Bett was eating

turning it down. Then, to avoid temp

seen her."
Lulu looked at the clock. For Mo-
mona had pointed toward the railway
station. The twelve-thirty train,
which every one took to the city for
shopping, would be just about leav-
ing.
"Monona," said Lulu, "don't you go
out of the yard while Pm gone. Moth
er, you keep her"
Lulu ran from the house and up the
street. She was in her blue cotton
dress, her old shoes; she was hatless
and without money. When she was
still two or three blocks from the sta
ton, she heard the twelve-thirty
pulling out"
She ran badly, her ankles in their
low, loose shoes continually turning,
her arms held taut at her sides. So
she came down the platform, and to
the ticket window. The contained
ticket man, wonted to lost trains and
perturbed faces, yet actually ceased
counting when he saw her:
"Lenny! Did Di Deacon take that
train?"
"Sure she did," said Lenny.
"And Bobby Larkin?" Lulu cared
nothing for appearances now.
"He went in on the Local." said
Lenny, and his eyes widened.
"Where?"
"See." LenDy thought it through.
Milton he said. "Yes, sure. Mill
ton. Both Of en-
GLOW long till another train?"
"Well, sir" said the ticket man,
"you're in luck, if you was goin' too.
Seventeen was late this morning
she'll he along, jerk of lambs tail"
Then said Lulu, "you got to give
me ticket to Milton. without me pay
ing till after-and you got to lend me
two dollars"
"Sure thing" said Lenny, with
manner Of laying the entire railway
system at her feet
Seventeen" would rather not have
stopped ut Warbletom, but Lenny's sig
nal was law Qn the time card, and the
magnificent yellow express slowed
down for Lulu. HatlesS, and in her
blue cotton gown, she climbed aboard.
Then her old ineiliciency seized
upon her. What was she going to do?
Milton! She had been there but once,
years agO-hOw could she ever find
anybody? Why had she not stayed in
WarblCtOn and asked the sheriff or
sUmebody-no, not the sheriff. Corn
ish, perhaps Oh, and Dwight and Ina
were going to be angry now! AAd

she began to cry. She said to herself
that she had taught Di TO sew.
III sight of Milton, Lulu was seized
with trembling and physical nausea.
She had never been alone in any I'M
familiar town. She put her hands TO
her hair and for the first time realized
her rollCd-up sleeves. She was pulling
down these sleeves when the conduct
tor came through the train.

HOPE To COMPLETE
NEW ROAD APRIL IS

Unless adverse weather causes a
delay, Rand Bone, foreman of con-
struction on the Superior Miami
highway, who was in Phoenix yes
terday on business with. the state
highway department, said, the Supe-
rior- Miami highway will be finished
and ready for use on April is. The
formal opening of the highway has
been set for April 20, he said and
Miami is planning a large celebra-
tion to be held in Miami on that day.
Only about five miles Of the high
way remains unfinished, Mr.. Bone
said. and the last shot of dynamite on
the construction work was touched
off Saturday afternoon on the east
side OF the tunnel east Of Superior
closing the road for about an hour
and a half. No more blasts will be
used. he said, and the road viii not
be closed again until the work is fin
ished.
A detour Of about five miles is nee
essary, he said, at the Pinal ranch,
about half way between Superior
and Miami, where the two crews of
workmen, one under his direction, and
the other under the direction OF julius
Irions, are working. The two crews
are working toward each other on
the road, he said, and expect to meet
on April is when the highway will
be finished.
Senator FL A. woodward of Gila
county, Mr.. Bone said, drove from the
Old Dominion hotel in Globe to the
Adams hotel in Phoenix, a. distance OF
SO miles. in three hours and ten min
utes last week over the new highway,
making the five-mile detour.
The celebration planned by Miami
for the opening of the highway on
April 20, Mr.. Bone said, will include
a huge barbecue in Miami and the
laying Of corner stone along the
highway at the county line between
GiIa and Pinal counties. The cele-
bration will be held while the good
'oads convention is in session in
