 ECONOMIC FARLEY
America's Relation to Euro pean Conditions Said to Be Different From That of
 Other Nations
By Associated Press

Washington, January 27.-The United States is not indering, dis couraging or seeking postponement of the Genoa economic conference, it was said today on the highest au- thority At the White House 1t was said the President felt that the rela- tion of the American government to the Genoa conference was different from those of other nations and for this reason it was difficult to deter mine the American policy in refer ence to the meeting. Officials would not comment on the coming confer ence which Ambassador Harvey will hold with Premier Poincare in Paris next week.
 At the same time official denials were made of reports that the United States would send commissions of ex- perts Into Germany, Russia and Aus tria for a study of their economic conditions. Information regarding conditions in those countries, it was said, would be obtained by American agents nov on the ground. possibly supplemented by other informal agents.
 It also was denied that President Harding planned to call any financial or economic conference in this coun- try.

SMALL GR0CERS OF CITY ARM[NG FOR SELF-DEFENSE
Mystery at Gulfport
 Believed Solued by
 Captains Statement
RT AssocIatcd Prrss

Guifport Miss, January 2I.-A statement made to local police by the captain of a Cuban vessel now in the Gulfport harbor has furnished a clue which local officers believe will solve the mystery surrounding the death of two men whose bodies, both with broken neeks, we're washed ashore here recently.
 According to the Cuban captain, hts schooner sailed from Havana for Tampico with cargo of liquor, but while at Tampico the captain was ap- legged to be from Gulfport, who prom If he brought 1t to Gulfport. He agreed to this proposition.
 The liquor was later transferred to the schooner William Tell, according to the captain, who claims he did not receive payment for :he cargo. Short ly after the finding of the two bodie es here, believed by police to be mem bers of the crew of the William Tell, the Tell was seized by officers at Mo- bile together with 600 cases and 90 demijons of whisky on board the schooner and in the swamps nearby.
 Acquisition papers for members of the crew of the William Tell, and probably Mobile officers, have been signed by Governor Russell of Mis- sissippi, and a strong effort will be made to bring them here in an effort to clear up the mystery surrounding the two mysterious deaths.

INJUSTICE IS DONE R. |. CARR IN THE
 STORY OF ARREST
Age-HeraId Retracts State.
 ,sStS Made in Its Issue of sember 30, 1921, 2 Due to Error

Through an error due to misinfor- nation The Age-Herald printed an article in it's issue of December 30 in which 1t was stated that Robert L. Carr had been arrested on a charge of shooting his b-year -old son.
 It was also stated in the article that a warrant charging MT. Carr with assault and battery on which he was transferred to the county jail was sworn out by the child's grand father. ". A. Johnson.
 Later information has shown both of these statements to be incorrect. It develops that Mir Carr was never ar rested on a charge of shooting his son, although the boy was shot, ac- eidentally by his father, and that no warrant against him was sworn out by MT. Johnson. grandfather of the boy, as stated.
 Mir. Carr was lodged in the city jail by Detectives Propst and Walton, De- cember 29 on complaint of Miss Grace Johnson. An entry of intent to mur- der" was placed on the docket op- posite Carr's name. This was shortly
 
 tery. A warrant charging MT. Carr with assault and battery was sworn out on the same day before Judge H. B. Abernethy, by Miss Grace Johnson, in which Mir Carr was charged with assault and battery on Miss Velma Johnson, his 14-year -o1d sister-in-law. He was transferred to the county jail by Deputies Matlock and Wilson on this warrant and ad- mitted to bond in the sum of $500 the same day. This case was later noll pressed on payment of costs.
 The Age-Herald regrets if any in justice has been done Mir. Carr. The story was printed in good faith The data was obtained from ordinary news sources which The Age Herald has always found reliable and which it had no reason to question. Any injustice which may have been done MT. Carr by publication of the article was unintentional and is greatly re- gretted by this paper.

 Four Police Killed
 in Nicaragua Fight
By Associated Pres.

Washington, January 27.--Sergt. Lee Henry of the marine corps and four members of the police force at Mana qua, Nicaragua, were killed in fight January 24 when the police overlook Henry and three marine corporals who had been reported as deserters from the marine detachment the previous day. The police later captured the fthree corporals, Amthor. Bennett and Russell, according to & dispatch to- day to the navy department, accord ing to the commandant of the Eff teenth naval district.
 The commandant highly commended the work of the Managua police in this case. Henry enlisted from Louis vile, Ky.
 The battle between the deserters and the Managua police was the sec ond of the kind within the last few weeks, the previous disturbance also having resulted in the killing of sev- eral policemen.
 The cruiser Galveston is now at the port and 3I marines of the Managua detachment are held aboard the yes sel as prisoners in connection with the disorder. Previous advices indi- csted that Sergeant Henry and his three companions were among the prisoners on the ship and escaped by jumping overheard and swimming ashore.
 Because of the unusual conditions surrounding the marine detachment at Managua, where there are no healthful diversions for the men, the navy department already has ordered the entire force of 100 men on duty there relieved by a new detachment to be sent from Haiti and in future 1t is indicated marines will be ken, at the Managua post only for short periods of service in the hope of keep ing the morale of the detachments at higher level.

POLICE CONTINUE
 THOROUGH SEARCH
 FOR AX-W|ELDER
Three Negroes Arrested and Net Is Closing In on Grim inal, Officers Say-ku
 KIux Parade Effective

The police net is gradually closing in on the criminal who assaulted Tony Loreno and his wife, Rosa, in their grocery store Wednesday night, three negroes having been arrested and lodged in the city jail since the crime was committed.
 The officials refuse to discuss the nature of the evidence against the men, but indications are that one of the three is the man wanted, with the other two being intimately connected with the affair.
 The negroes are Tom Winston, the first arrested following the assault. and Eugene Martin and Wilton Terry, who were taken shortly afterward These men are being kept under spe- clal surveillance, awaiting the secur- ing of additional evidence. Detec- tives J. k. Jones, c, E. McGombs, O. D. Brown and J. T. Moser are mak- ing the investigations with either Chief McDuff or Assistant Christian on hand at all times.
 Due to the fear of endangering the. solution of the crime the authorities could give out very little information of a definite nature, other than to say that tangible progress had been made and that q statement of importance could be expected shortly. Claim Accomplice It is generally believed that while the same man may have committed the Crawford crime a s well as the assault Wednesday night. he has at least one accomplice. Storekeepers in the vicinity in which the assaults were committed state that two ne- groes, one of whom answered the de- scription of Loreno's assailant, fre- auently visited their places just at the closing hour. each time making only trifling purchases
 According to H. C. Hawkins and s. F. Stephens. whose stores are within block of the scene of the tragedy, these men have not been seen since the Crawford murder. It is believed that these two men were connected with the Loreno crime.
 According to the police, the Ku- klux Klah parade staged through the negro sections Thursday night has so frightened the negroes that inves- tigation of the case has been handi- capped.
 Loreno Improving The condition of Loreno is slowly improving state the hospital authori- : ties. but the wife, while she regained consciousness for short while yes terday, is still in a precarious condi l.
 tion. Examining physicians report an injury at the base of the skull that may prove fatal at any moment, and say that while she may recover the chances are overwhelmingly against her

ALLIED DEBT BILL
 WILL BE VOTED ON
 IN SENATE TODAY
Reed Makes Attack on Pro- posed MeaSure-Says Mel Ion Is Affiliated With
 Morgan Interests
By Associated Press

Washington, January 27.-Agree- ment to press the allied debt refund ing bill to a vote tomorrow, even if that makes necessary night session of the Senate, was reached late today by republican and democratic lead CTS. It came after five hours of de- bate, much of which was on ex- traneous subjects.
 Opposing the proposed grant Of au- thority to the debt commission. head ed by Secretary Mellon, to extend the time of interest payments at its dis cretion, Senator Reed, democrat. Mis- souri, declared that he had no doubt there was "an inside to this.''
 Senator Simmons, democrat. North Carolina, suggested and Senator Reed agreed that the deferrment of inter- est payments on the foreign debt would enable the private holders" in this country of $5s000.000 GOO of the bonds of the allied nations to realize on their investment ahead of the American government.
 Cancellation of Debt
 Senator Reed also declared that If the commission could defer interest payments for 10 years, as he said one senator had suggested might be done in the case of some countries. there could be cancellation of the whole debt as the accumulated interest for 10 or 12 years would about equal the present principal of the debt.
 The Missouri senator said that be- cause of the environment" in which Secretary Mellon had lived Mir. Mei- Ion would be the last man save one in the country" to whom he would grant the authority proposed. The one exception, he added, was Nor gan himself" explaining that ]. F. Morgan < Co. had been the fiscal agents in the United States of the allied nations during the war.
 Affiliated With Morgan
 In this connection Senator Reed read to the Senate the names of va rlous banks, trust companies and cor porations In which he said MT. Mel lon was interested, including the Alu- mtnum company of America, which the speaker described as an absolute monopoly. He added that the banks and trust companies were closely af- filiated with the Morgan and allied banks. which floated great loans for the allies in this country before war was declared on Germany.
 Before Senator Reed launched his attack on the bill there was a debate between Lenroot. republican. Wis consin. and Walsh, democrat, Mon tana, as to the constitutionality of the debt bill. and also plea by Sen ator Williams, democrat Mississippi. for the cancellation of the debt owed the United States by Belgium.
