TO APPEAL AGAIN

Genoa, May 16-(By A. P.-Further
appeals probably will be made TO the
United States by the Allied powers
in an endeavor to induce that coun-
try to take part in the meeting of
the commission of experts at The
Hague on June Is. The inviting pow
ers, Britain. Japan. France. Italy and
Belgium, held meeting this after
noon TO consider the matter further.
The French delegates are anxious
to have the closing plenary session
of the economic conference on
Thursday, but this Is considered inn
possible, as there is no disposition
TO hurry the Russians in making their
final reply regarding the Hague con-
ference, and il seems likely that the
closing session will not lie held be-
fore Saturday or Monday. Tomor-
row morning the Russians will re-
assemble with the sub commission
on political affairs TO discuss plans
for the Hague.
The inviting powers decided that
the eastern Galcian and Lithuanian
boundary question would not be con-
sidered at this time.

ment terms at the conclusion of the

The Manchester strike strategy

RUM RUNNING
PLANE CAPTURED
BY DRY AGENTS

New York, May 16-Gleeful over
seizure of a rum running plane from
Canada and a liquor smuggling sloop
from the Bahamas, prohibition agents
today believed they had located two
new whiskey ''curbs"-one "near
White Plains and the ether off the
New Jersey coast.
1T was near White Plains that the
airplane crashed last night, and its
pilot escaped in q waiting automo-
bile. 1t was off the New Jersey coast
that members of the crew of the
Grace and Edna, the captured sloop,
were alleged to have taken aboard
cargo from another craft which con-
Quoted cut rate sale in order to dash
back to the West Indies for more
stimulants.
Deputy sheriffs and state troopers
secured Westminster county around
White Plains for trace of the aviator
who escaped after having literally
Gcluged a field with whiskey IN ms
unhappy landing. The few bottles
that were not broken were seized and
an effort to identity the owner OF
the plane through its manufacturers
was made.
The number of planes that have
been seen recently near White
Plains has led dry" agents to be-
lieve that the wrecked machine was
not the only one operating between
that town and the Canadian border.
CAPTAIN Warner of the state tropo-
ers at White Plains said he would
ask for a scout pine to combat the
aerial transportation of liquor.
There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind" he said, that at least a
ton of liquor has passed over West
chester county in the last year. AL
most every day l have seen one or
two, and sometimes three airplanes
making their way southwark across
White Plains"

SENATE PASSES UP
NIGHT TARIFF talk
IN FAVOR OF CIRCUS

Washington, May 16.-The Senate
had the tariff bill before it for eight
hours today but disposed Of only a
single item, approving the committee
rate Of 25sper cent. advalorem on mus
tard and bther curative plasters. The
usual night session was abandoned so
that the Senate pages might attend a
circus performance
The session today began an hour
view of experimenting with a meeting
in what had been denomnated as the
daylight hours" the progress made,
however, was unsuccessful to those in
charge of the bill and decision was had
to resume night meetings tomorrow
with continuous II hours sessions as
heretofore.
Much of the discussion today was
of general character. 1t included a
prepared address by Senator Capper,
Republican, Kansas, head of the SEN
ate agricultural bloc, attacking the
American valuation, and an extended
debate between Senator Gooding of
Idaho, chairman of the Republican ag-
ricultural tariff bloc, and Senator In
derwood Of Alabama, the Demo cratic
leader, as to the value of a protective
tariff to the agricultural industry.
Discussion was enlivened late in the
day by Senator Harrison. Democrat,
Mississippi, who accused the RepubH-
cans of trying to delay the tariff bill
and wound up by humorous reading
of the free list with stress land on
such items as dried blood, joss sticks
and skeletons. This led to a reply
from Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota. in charge of the bill,
who in sarcastic vein said that what
some folks might describe as humor
really only was "hilarity." While Sem
ator Capper was denouncing American
valuation in the Senate as system
desired by some manufacturers be-
cause they believed by it they could
conceal from the American people the
extent to which they desire to raise
rates" Chairman Fordncy of the ways
and means committee urged that sys-
TEN in the House. Mr.. Fordney had a
table piled high with imported articles
on which he said the government was

AUCON PACT FIRST DISTURBING
ISSUE IN WASHINGTON FARLEY
PERU and CHILE SEEKING PEACE

Washington, May 16-(By A. P.)-
The Chilean-Peruvian conference
which began it's course here only "a
hours ago amid universal declara-
tons of optimism, encountered signs
of unpleasant sailing today soon af-
ter the two delegations came togeth-
er for their first executive meeting.
Most prominent among these devel-
opments was a decision understood
to have been reached by the Chileans
to bring the bitterly debated ques-
ton of the validity Of the treaty of
Ancon, to a sharp issue at the very
outset of the negotiations.
Another disturbing element was a
reiterated plea by Bolivia that her
rights and interests as we'll as those
OF Chile and Peru must be consider
ed in any settlement designed to re-
move causes for unrest in South
America.
A third much discussed feature Of
the situation generally interpreted in
diplomatic circles as an evidence OIL
the unusual caution with which Peru
and Chile are proceeding was an
agreement between t<c two delega-
tons that whenever decision is
reached on any single issue it is to
be embodied Immediately in a for
NAL "protocol" duly certified and
signed by both sides.
The purpose of Chile to bring at
once the real issue of the conference
to the surface may result in the
opinion of diplomatic observers in
discriminating in the very near fu-
tlre whether the Washington nego-
tiations are to be a success or a fall
ure.
The Chilean plan. it is understood
bv the Associated Press is to present
either tomorrow or on Thursday a
proposal that the question of fulfill
ing the Tacna-A africa article OF the
Ancon treaty be debated at once.
What form Peru's reply will take
was not revealed tonight but it is
known that the Peruvian delegation
came to Washington hopeful that
the conference would result in A
broad reimbursement of the whole
"problem of the pacific" and convinc-
cd that the treaty provision for a
plebiscite in Tacna- africa" never
could be fulfilled under present con-
ditions.
Bolvia's interest also is in COM
nrehcnsive .Giustmcnt Of the set
Element following the war OF the
Pacific, to which she was party.

POWERS May CHANGE FRONT
TO INDUCE AMERICA TO ENTER
new CONFERENCE AT HAGUE
CABINET CRISIS IN
DEFEAT OF GOVT, IN
ENGLISH COMMONS

London, May 16-(By A. p. 1.-The
defeat of the government in the
house of commons tonight on a ques-
ton of minor Importance, caused ex-
element and animation in parlia-
mentary lobbies out of all proportion
to the amount of money or principle
involved. Austen Chamberlain, the
government leader in the house had
an informal conference with his chief
colleagues, and it was decided that a
cabinet council should be convened to
meet tomorrow to decide upon the
governments action, which decision
will be communicated to the house of
commons tomorrow afternoon.
The defeat was brought about not
on the actual question of whether
teachers should contribute five per
cent. of their salaries to the super
annuation fund, which would mean a
saving to the government of less
than 12,500,000 yearly. but on Lord
Robert CecilS motion to adjourn the
debate. Mr.. Chamberlain, in resist
ing this motion was warned by many
of the ministerial party that they
| would vote against him but he de-
clined to bulge. The die hards"
laborites and Asquitian liberals went
solidly with the opposition.
Sir Edic Geddes' recommendation
cutting the education estimates al
ways has been dangerous ground for
the government, but although the
Asquithians and laborites freely ac-
| cused the government of breach of
| faith with the teachers, it seemed
| needless for the government to take
| the stand it did against Lord Rob-
erts motion. The balance of opinion,
however. tonight is that the govern
mcnt will not resign.
The defeat was the third the gov
ernmcnt has met in it's parliament
| tary career and the more it was dis
cussed in political circles tonight tie
! greater was the mystification of the
| leaders, as they considered an easy
way for retreat from its position was
| opened for the government through
Lord Robert Cecirs motion to adj
| journ. 1t was considered by some OF
| those in the Hobbies that Mr. Cham
| berlain either made bad miscalcu-
lation or that he was counting defeat.
Many staunch ministerialists dc!ib-
erately abstained from voting thus
aiding in bringing about the defeat
| Moreover it was reported that the
! government whips warned Mr..
i Chamberlain that the government
would be defeated. There was evil
dent dislike of the approximation
! bill of the Right Honorable ii. A. L.
| Fisher. president of the board OF
education, in eevry section OF the
house. One suggestion is that Mr.
Fisher may resign. The die hards
long have been manoeuvering &c
zring about his resignation and there
may have been much personal bias
in the vote tonight.
Altogether, coming after the re-
fusal of the United States to accep'
the invitation to attend the Hague
conference and the apparent collapse
of the Genoa conference. it was gen
orally regarded among the member:
of the house of commons that TN!
was a bad day for Premier Lloyo
| George
