LYLES GETS FOUR YEARS
ON FORGERY CHARGE

Augusta Ca, May 13.-!Milton Lyles,
aged %, was found guilty OF "uttering
a forged Instrument this afternoon by
a jury in the court Of general sessions
at Aiken, and was Immediately SEN
fenced to four years in the Columbia
penitcntiary by Judge Rice.
Lyles was one Of the trio under in
dictmcnt in AIKEN for forgery and con-
spiracy to defraud. Sam Padgett and
j. II. Westbury, the other two men in
volved in the alleged forgery cases, it
Is now believed, will be tried SOON o.:
the charge of conspiracy.
The case has caused great interest
throughout Georgia and South Caro-
lima because Of the fact that similar
forgeries to the ones perpetrated in
Aiken, were operated on banks in
many towns in the two states.
The defense plea was an alibi and
many witnesses from Hepzibah, Ca,
the town at which Lyles was employed,
testified that the youth was seen at
work there on the day the forgeries are
alleged to have been committed, The
case was strongly contested and many
pleas from both sides were
heard.

APPEAL BY FRANCE
TO UNITED STATES

Would Have Washington Government
Participate In Proposed Interna.
t1onal Commission to Investigate |
Russian Situation.
Genoa, May 13.-France has appeal |
cd to the United States to participate
in the proposed international commits
sion to investigate the Russian situa-
ton. The American ambassador, Rich
ard Washbum Child, informed the AS
sociatcd Press tonight that such a
proposal had been submitted to him
by the French delegation.
The ambassador understood that the
United States, if the invitation is ac-
ccptcd, would have a dominant voice
in the action Of the commission but
would not be bound by her acceptance
to any decisions Of the commission
which she did not approve.
If the United States accepts, France
would agree to the Russians being
represented in the commission.
Premier Lloyd George and Mr. Par
thou were in private conference for
two hours this afternoon, apparently
without reaching an agreement, for
solving the Anglo-French deadlock on
the plans to continue the discussions
mission on Russian affairs also met
and argued for more than three hov"s
without definite results.
Mr.. Lloyd George will have con-
ference at his villa tomorrow morning
with Baron Hayashi, NJ Barthou, NJ.
Jasper and Signor Schanzer in an ef-
fort to reach compromise.
After the meeting of the subcom-
mission, Sir Edward Grgg, secretary
to the British prime minister, said
there had been progress but gave
no definite explanation Of its nature.
The French and British delegations,
| he asserted, were we'll on the road
to an agreement but nothing definite
| was reached
Accounts Of the meeting by mem
bers Of other delegations, however,
gave little indication that a compro
mise is any nearer.
| The Russians have announced that
they will not accept any plan eXclud-
ing them from the discussions. On
one thing all the delegations agree,
the inviting powers, the little entente
and the Baltic entente as well rs the
neutrals, namely, that somehow the
United States must be invited to par
tiopate the mixed commissions. NJ
Colrat, French under secretary Of
state, Informed the Associated Press
that he still felt confident Of an ac-
cord. France is still unwilling to have
Russians sit with the mixed commits
sion discussing Russian finances, but
suggestions have been made that n
special commission of Russian experts
be formed which may be called on by
the mixed commission when it desires
Information.
Again the Russians declare that
they will not accept any such plan, as
that would not be dealing with them
on an equality basis and 1T is difficult
for the delegations to find any plan,
appealing to both the French and
British and yet not offensive to the
Russians.
Genoa, May 13-The political sub
commission of the economic confer
ence, after holding two sessions today
for discussion Of the Russian reply to
the allied memorandum, adjourned at
8 o'clock tonight to meet again Mon
day. After adjournment, delegates
said considerable progress was made
toward an agreement concerning the
proposed mixed commission to further
study of the Russian question and to-
ward the proposed non-aggresslon
