Hundreds OF residents in the river
bottoms of the city left their homes,
fearful Of repetition of the flood
which visited Fort Worth two weeks

loss Of IL lives and much property
damage.
Attempts to reach the break in the

ship Is said to have concluded that 1t
cannot legally compel reductions TO an

and business sentiment.
The administration, accordingly, Is
said to have decided to resume again

Two semi-judlcial government bodies
have jurisdiction In railroad regulation,

wage rates which enter into operating

Is said to have concluded, as he did
last fall, that the executive might be OF
some service in dealing with the prob
lem though not interfering with the
judicial standing of two tribunals.
The commerce commission for weeks
has held discussions over the decision
to be reached by 1t in the general in
vestigation of transportation rate

tuted last November and continued
throughout the winter nearly every In
dustry and locality In the country be-

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 rail-
roads under efficient and economic
management and that this requirement
not withstanding present Increases in
railroad earnings, ties the hands of the

CONFERENCE WILL NOT
COLLAPSE, SAYS ENVOY
Lloyd George Is Only Delegate at
Farley Holding Hope For
Success

Genoa.-Optimism was still pro-
fessed Tuesday night by Premier Lloyd
George. The little Welchman was still
smiling but most OF the delegates no
longer have the heart to smile.
Many difficulties worse than this
have been passed and we shall pass
this one" said Mr., Lloyd George to
the correspondents after a frantic day.
In which he conferred with nearly all
the leading figures at the conference.
I'VE have come to Genoa to overcome
such differences: otherwise WHY have
the conference"
Genoa echoed with all sorts Of ru-
mors about the breaking up of the en-
tente and the imminent dissolution Of
the economic conference. The French
and Belgians stand firm In their on
position to the property clause of the
memorandum to the Russians and in
sist that failure OF the Russians 10 ac-
cept the memorandum will mark the
end OF the conference.
The Russian delegates, after con.
rerring with Premier Lloyd George
issued statement denouncing the
French and Belgians for the attempt to
break up the conference and calling
attention TO the fact that these two
countries are trying to make II an
pear that everything hinges on the
Russian reply while they themselves
have not indorsed the very document
they are discussing.
Both Mr.. Lloyd George and Tho
French delegation denied reports in
the British papers that the interview
between the British prime minister and
the French foreign minister was a
stormy one and terminated with the
declaration by Mr.. Lloyd George that
this disagreement meant the end Of
the entente.
The Russians attack on the Re,y,.n
position created much discussion
among both the French and Re,p,ap
delegates, but apparently they will NOT
reply.
