BEAUTIFUL PALACES
IN CITY Of GENOA

ROME, Italy.-It is difficult to
imagine a city better adapted to
princeIy hospitality than Genoa,
where the great economic confer
ence began today for it contains the
superb palaces built mostly during
the sixteenth century to satisfy the
sense of luxury, the appreciation OF
art and beauty of the merchant
princes of Genoa.
There are no palaces in Italy,
perhaps in the whole world, so mag
nificent in themselves and that
form such a suitable background for
the treasures of art, the Van Dycks,
the Rubens and the delightful pic
lures of the Venetian school that
adorn their walls.
The Royal palace where the con-
ference is held, in addition to its
sumptuous furniture, it's glorious
marble staircase and balconies, has
a beautiful garden with green
lawns and walks shaded by a va
riety of trees and shrubs.
The members of the different del
egations aggregate at least 1000
persons, who are lodged in Genoa's
palaces and in the lovely villas that
surround the town. When one real
ICES that all this beauty is bathed
in sunshine of an Italian spring, it
is difficult to imagine a better
preparation for the comfort and
pleasure of Italy's guests.
In addition Italy has eXerted her
self to provide for the conveniences
Of life needed by those who attend
the conference. The road along the
Ligurian Riviera has been relaid for
a distance of about twenty-five
miles. Additional telephone, and
telegraphic circuits have been con-
structed and special telephone
line has been set up for the service
of the delegations and newspaper
correspondents. Reading and writ
ing rooms also have been prepared
for delegates and reporters.
A largely increased postal service
has been provided, while in the
Patrone palace where the press has
it's headquarters, there are all posi-
BILE conveniences for reading, writ
ing, sending kilograms, phono-
graphs, a magnificent clubhouse
with splendid salons and a buffet
one or two rooms of which are
furnished with tables and chairs or
dered by Cardinal Ratti for the
Archbishops Palace before he left
Milan last February to be elected
Pope Plus XII.

Leeds School Children
Will Correspond With
Children of America

y LEEDS, England, April -
Hearty APPROVAL of a scheme to pro-
mote friendly correspondence be-
tween school children of Leeds and
those of various American cities
has been given to Premier Lloyd
George in letter to James Watson,
head master of Harchills Council
school here, who has instituted the
idea of a means of stimulating in
terest in composition, geography,
writing and spelling.
Under Mr.. Watson's plan, each
child has one particular correspond
ent, whom he or she addresses by
name. The letters written in school
under supervision, are the unaided
work of the scholars. They form
part of the ordinary composition les
son, but have proved to be it's most
attractive feature. incidentally, the
letters received often convey valu-
able hints to te' he's in regard to
methods used in America, which are
frequently made the subject of in
quiries by the Leeds education
authorities.
A recent mail brought 12O letters
from pupils at four schools in
Washington, which in the opinion of
for their excellent composition, good
handwriting and correct spelling.
The ages of the young American
correspondents average 10 and their
letters range" from 500 to 1000
words in length. They are full of
the Washington conference, but per-
sonal touches and descriptions of
the sch, lis and their surroundings
are not lacking
Occasionally the English children
are puzzled bv Americanisms. A
reference to "Buddie" as the name
of thu Unknown Soldier proved diff
fic1lt even for the masters, but my
teacher is first-c-ass soccer fan"
was more easily interpreted.
81 ear Unseen Friend" one letter
begins, 81 choose Leeds because I
liked it from what I have studied
about it, so please tell me some
thing about your city"
-.-any letters exl 'ess a hope for
an everlasting, peace between the
two countries and oct of the young
Americans sign as Your Ameri-
can Friend"

MAN PLEADS GUILTY
To 200 BURGLAR|ES

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Po-
lice today delved further into the
amazing criminal activities OF
"Clever Jim" Lauzon with the ex-
pectation of turning up new evil
dence of his career of burglary.
Lauzon, alias James J. Kerrigan,
has admitted to approximately 2OO
burgIaries and loot value at $780,
900.
Lauzon's operations covered wide
territory, including Washington,
Baltimore, Cleveland, st. Louis,
Richmond, Detroit, Chicago ana
other cities. according to his
tale. Twice he was arrested
convicted and sentenced to long jail
terms, and both times he escaped
he said. He escaped from Joliet
penitentiary after serving three
months of a sentence of 20 years.
This was in 1919. Shortly after that
the Detroit courts sentenced him to
five years for burglary and again he
escaped after a short time in Jail.
Clever Jim" exercised consider
able fascination for the ladies, for,
according to police, he induced Mrs.
Olive Poole, 20, Cleveland, to deser'
hef husband for him. Another wom-
an, Virginia Carroll, Baltimore
actress, also posed as his wife, they
said. The latter was arrested with
Lauzon here while Mrs. Poole was
found in Lauzon's Baltimore home.
Jewelry and silverware valued at
$4,000 were found in the Baltimore
house. Police hope to recover a con-
siderable part of the furs and other
loot stolen by LauZon during the
past few years.
Police here said that the Carroll
woman probably saved one or two OF
the detectives who made the cap
ture, from serious injury of death.
Lauzon and the woman were in an
automobile when officers, recognize
ing the thief from a description
furnished by Washington woman,
gave chase. AS they drew up to
the fleeing car, LauZon pulled a re-
volver and aimed it at the officers
The Carroll woman threw up
Lauzon's arm. Lauzon told officers
if she had not interfered, he would
have shot them.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 26.-There was a little
trade in wheat after the opening furry. The
start was sharply higher. Eastern houses
bought July and there was little buying
of May believed to be for short account.
The early buying was prompted by reports
of a purchase of 100000 bushels of Eng
Iish flour by a Russian merchant, colder
weather and frost predicted for Few states
tonight as well as the big export business
worked on the break. After the opening
trade was mostly in the way of changing.
Commission house sold May and bought July
while cash houses bought May and sold July.
Commission houses appeared to nave May ior
sale every time the price reached Sl'az'2'
Milling demand for wheat was quiet. Sea-
board reported export business quiet but
there are some orders in the market for new
wheat slightly below workable basis. Re-
ceipts heavier but under year ago. out-
side cash markets were heavy.

utes as a result of liquidation. The market
closed 1c to 21ac lower; May, $l.53H 10

Corn was affected by the trend in wheat:
A New York export concern sold corn at
the start. These offerings were well an
sorbed, many of the big flour traders ex-
pressed bullish opinions and picked up con
on the dip. reaction later resulted from
realizing sales. The demand for cash corn
continued good but there was less desire 10
sell and business today was not SO large as

Cotton Market Opinions

Hayden, Stone & Co.: With any further
unfayorable weather south, we believe prices
will reach a much higher level.
Housman & Co.: We expect the surprises,
II any, during the next few weeks, will be in
the nature of bullish surprises and that the
declines in the market will be more orderly
In character than the advances.
J.. S. Bache & Co.: 1t looks to us as If
purchases are advisable at this level.
Munds & Winslow: We expect an improv-
ing tendency under present conditions, and
q sharp advance if the weather should turn
bad.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: Although incentives
for any real bullish activity in the cotton
market are still lacking, it is in good po-
sition to respond with sharp advance in
prices with the development of anything to
cause broadening out of either domestic or
foreign spot demand.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: Reports from vari-
GUS sections Of the country continue to show
a decided improvement in all lines of bust
ness which uhquestionably will be reflected
sooner or later in the cotton market.
Sewald & Co.: We continue to favor the
policy of new crop purchases on good recess

JouRNA1 OF COMMERCE REPORT

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Journal of
Commerce report says: Reports on the crop
from Tennessee show that planting is only
just begun, with the season from five to
ten days late. In a few sections CORE
spondents claim that about 25 per cent of
early cotton is already planted and doing
we'll.
Arkansas is rather backward, from tel
to fifteen days late, and while this month S
returns compare very favorably with those
of a year ago, some complaints are heard of
too much rain and flood damage.
Florida returns form a rather sharp con-
trast to some states in that moisture is
needed to bring up cotton. At some points
there has been no rain in four or five
weeks.
Missouri reports very little cotton planted.
but considerable ground ready for planting,
with farmers waiting for warmer weather.

NO PROXIES ALLOWED AT
REPUBLICAN STATE ASSEMBLY

Denver, June 26.-No proxies will
be recognized when the Republican
state assembly meets in the municipal
auditorium in Denver. August 9Th to
designate candidates for the primary
September 12. For the first time in
any political assembly in the state all
votes will be cast by individuals chos-
en- at county assemblies.
Giving of proxies is prohibited by
Section % Of the new rules Of the Re-
publican State Central Committee
adopted February II. Under this
rule each county assembly is to name
alternates to each delegate to the
county assembly. Any delegate who
is unable to attend cannot give away
his proxy. as the vote will then be
cast by an alternate.
In spite Of the elimination of prox-
les, however, provision has been made
to give each county full representa-
tion in the assembly. In case there
remains vacancy in any delegation
after the list of delegates and alter
mates has ben exhausted. Section %
provides that the delegates present
shall cast the vote OF the absentees
in the ratio that those present and
voting shall cast on any question or
candidate.
The ratio system Of voting for abb
sentees may involve the use of frac-
tions when a vote is counted; but 1t
also means that Denver, the scene of
the assembly, will not have an advan-
tage over any other county in desig-
mating candidates.
