Threatens to Disrupt
 Economic Conference
 by Denunciation of
 European Armament. SAYS HUGHES PLAN BEST
Useless to Talk Now of Reconstruc K ton
 Until Disarmament of the World Is Fact. :

GENOA, April II. - George Chit cherin, head of the Russian delegation attending the economic conference here, declared today it were useless to discuss the reconstruction of Flu rope without discussing disarmament along the lines advised by the United States.
 The amelioration of present condi- tions is impossible, he said, while im- perialistic countries continue their vast expenditures for the maintenance of large armies and navies."
 The clash over the disarmament proposal by Chitcherin, who is Pre- mier Lenin's spokesman, ranking as Russia's Soviet Foreign Minister, reused M. Barthou, delegate from France, who delivered fiery reply. The incident threatens to disrupt the conference. M Barthou, in a tower ing, rage, declared that France re- fused to discuss disarmament at Genoa, or elsewhere.
 Chitcherin retorted that Russia ex- pected France to be ready to discuss the question, because M. Briand de- cIared in the Washington conference that Russias armament made Euro pean disarmament impossible.
 At the afternoon meeting the Rus sain envoy caused another great up- roar, when he dramatically protest ed against the "impudent presence" of Rumanian and Japanese delegates, because, he said, Rumania had occu- pied Bessarabia and Japan portions Of Siberia without the leave or consent of Russia.
 Chitcherin's protests were over- ruled and the conference proceeded.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April II. - Attorney General Harry Daugherty after a two hours conference with Federal Judge A. B.

 Every effort is being made, it is said, to bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the Attorney General to bring about the quashing of the in dictments. The mine-owners and un- ion chiefs join in declaring that this would be the signal for get to- gether on the strike controversy, with good prospects of early set- clement.

NO ACTION ON TESTIMONY
Michigan Republican Is Spokesman for Group Now. Aiming to Bring Immediate Action.

WASHINGTON, April II. - Repre- Woodruff, an influential Re- publican member of Congress from Michigan, declared in the House to- day that if Attorney-General Harry Daugherty "does not fully look to the interests of the government and without further delay" in the pending clam-suit against the Lincoln Motor Company, he would be considered guilty of malfeasance" and a move for his impeachment would be made.
 MT. Woodruff made an extended speech, charging that the Department of Justice failed to proceed in the civil and criminal courts against a number of wealthy war contractors, notwithstanding the conclusive tes- timony brought out, ready for use, be- fore the Congressional Investigating Committee.
 Ending his speech, MT. Woodruff suited action to the word and intro duced a resolution providing for the appointment of committee to in vestigate all war contracts made by the War and Navy Departments, and also providing for immediate civil and criminal prosecution on all claims oi the government growing out of these contracts.
 Representative Johnson, Republi can of South Dakota, charged today that the War Department is selling property at "ridiculously and crimin ally low prices," and that certain per sons were concealing the situation from Congress and deliberately mis representing the facts.

FIGHT
 ON TARIFF TO
 START APRIL

WASHINGTON, April Il. - The Senate Finance Committee presented today the rewritten Administration tariff bill, to be taken up in debate on April 21. A long and bitter fight is in prospect. Some estimate it will continue at least three months.
 Taken as whole, the bill, ac- cording to the committees experts, averages slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrich tariff. As compared to the House measure, the specific rates are higher, but the ad valorem is generally lower. The rates are based upon the foreign valuation with provisions for flexible rates according to the American valuation, as demanded by President Harding.
 Treasury experts predict the bill will raise between $3Oo,0oO,0oo and 50,000,000. The Underwood bill brought in revenue of between s250, 100000 and s300,000,o00.

The Rev. DR.. Edwin Heyl Delk

taken a leading role in reform move

whether the campaign will be directed

He was not willing to cell the name
of the Investigator who may be called
to take active charge of the work. but
admitted that this man had already
made several important investigations
here.
The campaign will be devoted to the
prevention of the sale of improper pho
