Prosecute Sleuth
(Hx As.iocijiaiex pre.s,

Washington, May ALEXANDER e.
Robertson, British war veteran, ar
rived here today from Newark, N. j.
to carry out his Announced purpose
of laying before the British embassy
his charges of kidnapping against
three private detectives who, he al
leges, attempted to force his depar-
ture from this country because of his
affection for Miss Mary Culberson,
21-year-old daughter of Senator Gull
berson, of Texas.
Officials at the embassy, who were
plainly inclined to suspend Judgment
in the matter until they had heard
Robertson's statement today, indicat-
ed that any action the embassy
might take would depend on the in
formation and evidence then submit
ted. Robertson found no escort for
him on his arrival here, as he an
nounced he had requested in tele-
gram to the embassy from Newark
yesterday. Embassy officials said no
such request had been received and
intimated they believed the British
veterans fears of molestation were
groundless.
Senator Culberson, who continued
to maintain a strict silence regard
ing the entire affair yesterday, later
in the day was said to have indicated
that he might make a formal state
ment about it today. Miss Culber-
son, as to whose whereabouts there
has been some mystery since the
matter was first given publicity, was
understood to be at the home of her
parents here today.

Factions of the Beni-Said tribe

PALATkA BUILDING
NOT ON BIG BOOM
BUT MAKING TIME
Work of Construction Is
Steady and Far Ahead
of Record
MANY PROJECTS AHEAD
Every Available Carpen-
ter and Brick Mason
Busy

Compared to the enormous figures
indicating building operations in some
of the tourist cities of the state Pa
latka is not on building boom but it
is making steady and sure progress
I in construction, and to such an extent
that building operations here now are
ahead of any other year in the history
of the city, except, possibly, following
the big fire.
The development work incident to
the razing of the Putnam House is no
small item in the city's general build
ing program. Out of the material
from the old hotel one brick apart
ment house, one tremendous ware
house and half dozen, or more bum
galows, are already under construc-
tion The partment house is at Lem
ON and Seventh streets and the big
warehouse is situated on the Atlantic
Coast Line tracks just back of the
Curry johnson Co. The bungalows
are in Bungalow park and the Heights
H. M. deMontmollin Co. also started
construction yesterday Of new ware
houses on the waterfront TO take the
place of those burned recently. These
will be made modern in every respect
and will take care of the independent
river cargoes until the municipal docks
are provided, which, it is hoped, will
be at an early date.
There has been some delay in work
on the Methodist church, due to va
rious causes, but indications are now
that the edifice will be completed ear
ly this fall, when it will bededicated
for the work it is designed for.
Robert James has begun construc-
ton of a home which will be one of
the hndsomest on River street and
Culbreth mansion, block further up
the street, will be one of the hand
soonest in the city. Albert Philips
has just about completed handsome
bungalow on Dodge street and the
Corcoran home in Mulholland Park
will be ready for occupancy in a few
weeks.
Great stimulous is expected to be
given building here as soon as the Pa
latka Building and Loan Association
gets to functioning fully, and the raz-
ing of the Putnam House will also
open the way to construction of many
more haidsome business houses.

ships to See What
Chang Trying to Do
IBy Associnted Pressl

Annoy, China, May 1.-TWO of the
captured warships of the Southern
Chinese squadron are reported to have
been sent to a point on the coast of
Chekiang province by Sun Yat Sen,
head of the southern government, the
seat of which is at Canton. The ex-
act destination of the vessels and the
purpose of the voyage is unknown
here, but it is known to be in connec-
tion with the trouble between Che
kiang and the province of Kiangsiu,
which adjoins it on the north.
Sun Yat Sens headquarters are at
Shiu-Chow-Fu, province of Kwang-
Tung, about $50 miles northwest of
Canton. His main army is stationary
at present a part having been re-
moved to Canton since the breaking
away of General Chen Chung Min,
who withdrew to his native city of
Haichow with about 5000 troops.
1t is generally believed that Gener-
al Chen, sympathizing with WI Pei
Flu in the latter's campaign against
Chang Tso-Lin near Peking, is threat
ening Sun and holding his army to
Kwaug- -Tung.
Chen has been succeeded as civil
governor of Kwang- -Tung by Wu-Ting
Fang, former minister TO the Pnited
States, under whom the government
is operating smoothly.

AMERICA NOT AGREEING
TO GENOA CONFERENCE
MANDATES Says CHILD
iBy Associated Pressl

Genoa, May 9.-The principal Eu-
ropean delegations here have been
given unmistakable hints by the
American ambassador, Richard
Washburn Child, that the United
States maintains it's consistent
standpoint regarding any private or
general arrangement for commercial
and industrial privileges in Russia,
and that no such arrangements can
be recognized by the United States,
says Henry Wickham Steed, editor
of The Times, Of London. ----x ,-- .,.,
He adds that whatever agreement
has been, or may be made, must be
affected by the American attitude,
unless, and until equality of indus
trial opportunity in Russia is assur-
ed ON principles and by means which
the United States can recognize.
The correspondent understands
that the minor British oil interests in
south Russia have suggested to the
British delegation the expediency of
establishing special petroleum
council alongside the Genoa confer
ence, and says that, were such a
council to be constituted, and were
it to include the leading companies,
its proceedings might speedily eclipse
those Of the main conference.
AS regards the Standard Oil COM
pany, the correspondent says its dis
tinct status in the Russian oil nego-
tiations certainly gives point" to the
support lent by the United States to
the French and Belgian attitude re-
garding private property in Russia,
and also to the polite intimation
which the leading delegates received
from Mr.. Child.
