for the principle that basis for con- servative society in Russia might be found in the adoption of policy of confiscation. He contended that the Genoa conference had resulted in nothing of importance except the truce pact. but the real fact was that more solemn and enduring pact had already been entered into by all those nations except Germany and Russia in the covenant of the League of Nations.
 MT. Asquith made a great play with the premier's picture of the nations of Europe preparing to march large armies against each other He re- reminded the house that only quiet recently, in replying to questions on this very subject. another member of the government had asserted that the government knew nothing about it and he wanted to know where MT. Lloyd George got his information.
 Entered Into Agreement
 The prime minister, interrupting, said he got it from the premiers of Poland and Rumania. MT. Asquith asked why had the knowledge of this been kept from the house. and pointed out that Russia and Poland had entered into an undertaking March 31 not to attack each other,

Venus Is Possibly Inhabited, But Not
 Mars, Expert Says
By Associated Press

Washington, May 25.-Venus is pos sibly inhabited by human beings and communication with planetary neigh bors by wireless may be possible. although the cost would be im- mense." is the opinion of c. c. Abbot, assistant secretary of the Smith, sonian Institution, who discusses various scientific phases of the "habltability of other worlds in the annual report of the institution just made public.
 Mir. Abbot says that Venus reflects light as if it were surrounded with clouds, and so probably 1t contains plenty of moisture"
 Its temperature Is about the same as that of the earth,' he added. "and all other conditions are apparently inhabitable with the existence of in- telligent life"
 Many popular writers have claimed great things for Mars as an abode of life" MT. Abbot says, but I cannot accept this view"

CL0TURE RULE MAY
 BE EVOKED TO STOP
 DEBATE ON TARIFF
(continued from page one.)

tariff bill would be resisted vigor- ously. Plain intimatfon was given that If such-a rule was proposed dis cussion of 1t would consume many weeks. Chairman McCumber of th' finance committee In charge of the tariff measure said that if senators would remain in the Senate and con- fine their discussion to the bill there would be no need for cloture. He re- ferred again to absenteeism. particu larly on the majority side, which was discussed at the republican confer ence. resulting in the adoption of a resolution urging senators able to do so to make themselves continuously available The cloture debate again brought charges from republicans of 8 filibuster. Senator Simmons said the democrats only were seeking to inform the country what was in the bill and that the people expected this to be done as they did not have the time or opportunity to study the 4o0 page tariff measure.
 Duties On Iron
 After an agreement had been made at the nj ght session to begin consid- eration of the dye provisions Mon- day, the Senate started on the metal schedule. Duties on pig and scrap iron were first considered, Senator Underwood opposing the committee rate Of 1.25 cents q ton on pig iron and LOO cent per ton on scrap iron.
 The democratic leader explained that he was in the pig iron business and believed that he knew the facts about the industry. He expressed the opinion that tariff duties would have little or no effect on the industry as imports for the record year, 1920, amounted to less than 1-100 of do- nestle production.
 Your committee proposes to we. nurse the iron master of the world" said he.
 Senator MeCumber and Senator Underwood were agreed that the du- ties would have little or no effect on prices because of competition be- tween domestic producers. The fi- nance committee chairman said a considerable amount of revenue would be produced but this was dis puted by Senator Underwood, who said the revenue resulting even in the peak year on the basis of the com. mittee duties would have amounted to only about $130,000.
 Arguing that there was on justi- fication for the duty on pig iron, from standpoint either of revenue or pro- lection, Senator Stanley, democrat. Kentucky, contended that the duty would be reflected on domestic prices and would result in higher compensatory duties on steel pro- ducts.
 The committee rates then were agreed to without roll call.

CHURCH ASSEMBLY
 COMES ID CLOSE
Southern PreSbyterians Have Successful Year, Reports
 at Meeting Show
By Associated Press

Charleston, W. Va, May 25.-The sixty-second general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church came to q close here today after having transacted as important business as ever came before a general assembly.
 During its session the assembly adopted portion of the constitution of the Presbyterian churches ap- proved by joint committee in Phila- delphia in 1921, seeking closer rela- tions with the Northern Presbyterian church.
 It adopted also resolutions of com ity between the southern and Re- formed Presbyterian churches and the Presbyterian churches of the United States of America and the Presbyte- rian church of the United States.
 An attempt was made before ad- journment today to have this action reconsidered and withdraw from the federal council altogether. but the resolution was tabled. Those who op- posed 1t said that it was not right to bring up so important matter at the last minute after many commis- sloners had left for their homes.
 The final reports, reports of ben evolence, of education, of member snlpS III cnurcneS ana Sunudy SCHOOLS and of Sabbath school work, sub mitted to the assembly indicated the church had passed through one of its most successful years. Increases in gifts to the various causes were noted in practically every instance.
 The "every member" canvass was approved with a goal of s4.750, ,000 and goal of $5.000,00 was set for ben evidences.
 Important among the last acts of the assembly today was the recon sideration of motion to appoint a committee to investigate the financial affairs of the church. This previously had been refused but upon recon sideraticn a committee was named and instructed to report to the gen eral assembly which meets at Mon treat, N. c.

EVIDENCE CLOSED
 IN BLIZZARD CASE
Finishing Touches of Defense Testimony Are Heard
 by Court
By Associated Press

Charleston, W. Va, May 25.-Evi dence was closed today in the treason trial of William Blizzard, after nearly four weeks of testimony A night session was ordered tonight, at which attorneys presented instruc- tions they asked the court to give the jury Judge | M Woods set six and one-half hours for each side for lthe time of the arguments.
 A few brief finishing touches on the testimony of defense witnesses made up the only evidence today and at 3.10 both sides announced their cases were closed The defense then made motion once before denied that the evidence of the state be stricken out and a verdict of acquit- tai ordered. The motion. as before, was based on the claim that the bill Of particulars and the indictment differed as to the acts alleged and that there was not sufficient evil dence to support the allegations of the indictment.
 Judge Woods, however, recalling his ruling when tho motion was made first, at the close of the states case held that tho indictment and bill of presence in Logan county with the forces of armed miners.
 Sergeant TcstIffeH
 First Sergt. Timothy Flynn, Tenth United States infantry, who was with the federal troops sent into West Virginia, testified for tho de- fense that he was sent from Shar- ples to Blair with q train, seven sol diers and Blizzard 10 get tho armed men out of that town
 F. c, Porter and William Petry mine union officials who were re- called after once testifying for the defense, were cross-examined as to speeches they were alleged to have made, Porter was asked about a speech at Sharples denying that he had called the killing of two miners near there in a clash with police "dastardly assassination" to in flame the armed men whom he was ostensibly seeking to disband.
 It had been testified that Porter had said that if the men wanted to ! carry out their plans they must march on Logan and wipe it off the map.

therefore it would not be suggested

therefore it would not be suggested that Poland was a menace.
 Lord Robert Cecil's criticisms were mostly concerned with the United States and France and also with the private conversations at Genoa. He urged that if there was any pos sible way 10 comply with the condi- tons laid down by the United States government for participation in The Hague conference it should be done. He considered the relations between England and France worse than be- fore the conference and appealed to the house not to underrate the grave danger of a breach with France.
 Resents Aspersions
 MT. Lloyd George, in a general re- ply, resented Lord Robert CeciFs aspersions on the private conversa- tions and declared that such con- versations were essential in any great affair. The Washington con- ference could never have arrived at such a triumphal conclusion but for the fact that Balfour and Secretary Hughes and the Japanese delegates had had constant private converse tions before entering the full confer ence.
 AAtci q ASHSlHy uSDdLe, LHe prime minister was again on his feet re- putting attacks by Lord Robert Ce- eli and others on his policy towards France. Lord Robert suggested it might be possible to get the United States into the conference if 1t were necessary to jettison The Hague meeting and arrange some economic conference which the United States might be willing to join.
 Among considerable uproar, Com mander Kenworthy shouted: s"what is your policy?"
 "A desire to work with the de- mocracy of France" the premier re- piled.
 Of America he said: we have in- vited, pleaded and used every meth
