lations on an equality basis. The
pact mutually cancels all war
claims, as well as claims arising
from naturalization of property.
Premier Facta of Italy issued a
sudden summons this afternoon
for conference at o'clock of
the heads of the invited powers
now in Genoa. The object of the
conference is to adjust by consul
tation the attitude of the Allies
towards the Russian question. The
Japanese delegation has been in
cluded in the invitation.

ference marking time while wait

proposal for resumption of friend
ly relations between Russia and
the rest of Europe. The head of
the Russian delegation is awaiting
instructions from Moscow.
Announcement of the signing Of
the treaty came as a surprise to
the conferees and it was pointed
to by observers as likely to make
more difficult the position of some
of the other allies in their rela-
tions towards Russia. By the new
treaty Germany is the first great
power to grant Russia full recog-
milton.

Drowned Worker

Hundreds lined the banks of the
CLYDE River at Newport Sunday
as search was made for the body of
Elmer Hauver, VINO lost his HE by
drowning last week, when a leaky
boat in hich he was crossing the
river with George Lothrop, Herbert
Hauver and Eugene Glover collap-
sed.
Volunteers to the number of 1G
manned an improvised raft Whlcf
was fioated slowly about IN the
vicinity, while the river bed wa
combed with poles and grapples'
No trace of the body of the drown
ed man has been found.
Since the accident occurred
Thursday search has been Eontin-
uous, but futile. 1t is not thought
possible that. the body could be
carried by the current Of the river
by the dam, which Is located about
three-fourths of mile below the
point where the boat sank with It's
burden of four men.
If the body has noated down the
river into the artificial pond form
ed by the damming of the waters
of the Clyde River, it may be that
it is lodged in one of the numerous
wire fences which marked off the
field before the water rose.
A raft 25 by II was built and
has served as a means of combing
the river bed. Volunteers were
plentiful and as many as could be
accommodated by the size of the
raft got aboard and worked
throughout the day Sunday in an
effort to locate the body.

FIRE DAMAGES
HYDE PARK CHURCH

HYDE PARK, April 1.-THE
vestry of the Congregational
church at North Hyde Park was
damaged to the extent of $500
Saturday and the auditorium of
the church was somewhat dam
aged by water and smoke. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The fire companies at Morris
vile and this village were sum-
moned, but had nothing to do on
their arrival as extinguishers had
been used effectively in subduing
the flames.
A meeting had been held in the
church Friday night and a fire
built in stove. 1t is believed by
some, however, that someone
may have slept in the church
building Friday night.

miracle of the resurrection. The
affairs and chancels in nearly all
the churches were banked with
Easter lilies, with waxy narcissus,
jonquils and tulips which in many
cases found their way to some
sick bedside at the close of Easter
day.
At the Roman Catholic churches
in addition to the flowers many
candles blazed on the altars- and
the elaborate white vestments of
the priests and dcacons symbol
ixed the joyous spirit of the day.
Large otfertories given in a
spirit of thankfulness also marked
the services. At Grace Methodist
the otfertory was nearly $500 and

to over $500. Large numbers
were admitted to membership at
Grace Methodist and there was
also a service of baptism at
which seventeen were baptized.
Including the probationers 50

one of the most impressive Easter
services witnessed in this edifce.

bers wore flowers to heighten the
happy day effect and flowers were

Redfeld Proctor of Proctor an
nounces his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor
and states his position on public
questions briefly as follows:
81 desire to announce my candi-
dacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor at the primary
election next September, and to
state my position on certain mat
ters.
81 believe that, in recent years,
the national government has taken
upon itself duties which belong to
the states and the states have tax
en- over duties which belong to the
towns. In these days the work of
government has become less of the
people-tending to pass out of the
direct control of those who pay for
it, and the cost has increased ra-
pidly and alarmingly. This increase
should be stopped and expenses re-
duced, not arbitrarily, however,
but wisely, with due regard to what
is essential for our growth and
prosperity.
al believe that some state activ-
tiles can be consolated, thereby
reducing expenses without serious
loss in efficiency, md | favor such
deductions of state taxes as may
be consistent with efficient govern
ment and the needs of the people.
"Our farm land will be developed
and our young men and women
will seek homes on the land only
as the opportunity is there offered
to make a comfortable living. The
state should make available educa-
tional facilities in order that the
best scientific knowledge may be
brought to bear upon the problems
of the farm. 1t should help in pro-
tecting plants andl animals from

tinue to assist in the organization

to militarism, and because they be-
