KIDNAPPING CHARGES CALL
 FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION

Washington. May s.--After a confer ence with Alexander E. Robertson. Brit ish war veteran. who charges an attempt was made to kidnao him because of his affection for Miss Mary 2 Cu.bersoH. daughter of Senator Culberson of Texas, British embassy officials issued a brief statement tonight declaring that certain aspects" of the case seemed to call for further investigation"
 Secretary Cragie stated that Robert son was expected to confer agasn tomor- row with embassy officials and that in the meantime 1t would seem inadvIsable for Robertson to discuss his case. Rob ertson would remain in Washington. Mir. Craigie added, while the embassy investi- gated his charge that private detectives Kidnapped him and attempted to force him to leave the country at the instiga- ton of Senator Cuiberson, who was said to have objected to the mans attentions to Miss Culberson.
 Robertson's war record, as described by him, was verified today by the embassy The veterans presence in this country so far as emigration and other reguls. tions were concerned, was said to b' proper in every respect
 No effort was made by Robertson. I was said, to communicate with Miss Cul person, who was reported to be at he parents apartments in a fashionabli Sixteenth street apartment. Senator Cul person did not appear at his office at tn capitol during the day and his privat secretary also did not put m appearance No statement was forthcoming from tn Cu.berson family.

Genoa. May s.-(By the A. P.)-Genoa passed an uneasy day speculating on the srort Of the Russian reply to the allied uemcrandurn would have on the future of the economic conference Tho Russians were busiiy engaged tonight in complet- ine :heiT reply. which it Is expected will be presented tomorrow.
 2f. Tchi;chsrin was in Genoa only for a short time He and the principal mem ters of the Russian delegation later gath cred at santa Margherita and began put ting the fnish.-g touches on their reply. szid to be highly conciliatcry and to open the way for a continuation of the ne Eotlations
 The differences between Premier Lloyd George and M. Barthou have apparently been softoned somewhat and there arc many indications that the Belgians are less irreconcilsble in their attitude and may be persuaded to approve the mem orsudutn % tho Russians on condition 1t be mads clear that Belgian property in Russia nus. be restored to the former owners if possible. and cannot in any ease be transferred 10 others.
 Mr. Lloyd George passed almost the entire day In conference with his advis- PTS
 The German delegation and many neu- .rai delegations 5oned in the efforts of sirucr Schanze-. the Italian foreign min ster. Co have the Russians temper their req aonse Ia such a way as to avoid dis rurr.on of the Genoa gathering. which seems far less likely tonight than 24 hours earlier. There Is a general feeling 5f confidence that the Russians will mod lfy their response so as to make 1t impos- Idls for the French and Belgians to bolt Ei;rout further negotiations.

President Takes
 Up Transportation
Summons IS Executives to Attend Dinner at White
 House on May 20-Seeks Lower Rates.

Washington, May 9.-President Hard ing has summoned fifteen of the leading transportation executives of the country. 1t was said today at the executive offices, to attend a dinner at the White House May 20 for the purpose of discussing the rate situation. It is understood the president win ask the transportation chiefs to consider the possibility of ad- justing railroad freight rates downwa ard as voluntary matter, because the inter .state commerce commission membership is said to have concluded that 1t cannot legally compel reductions to an extent satisfying to public and business sentI- ment.
 The administration. accordingly, Is said to have decided to resume again tho method of treating directly with the rail- road organizations to consider what can oe secured in the way of a satisfactory rate policy. Similar conferences were held last summer and fall.
 The interstate commerce commission has had for weeks in It's chambers discus sion over the dec.sion to be reached by it in the general investigation of trans portation rate levels. This investigation began last November and continued throughout the winter. nearly every in- duSry and locality in the country being represented in the record, by a demand for some degree of relief from present freight charges.
 President Harding has been told that the commission. in adjusting rates, is obliged to give reasonable return" by edict of law to capital invested in neces sary railroadsy under efficient and eco. homie management. and that this re- quirenent. notwithstanding recent in. cTeases in railroad earnings, ties the hands of the commission in attempting tC lower rates.
