Economic Conference at
 Genoa Hns Adjourned

GENOA, May 20. - The Economic Conference adjourned yesterday after- noon The conference was one of the greatest political gatherings in the history of Europe, bringing to. gether as it did the representatives of thirty-four nations. Not only was it great because of the number of countries sending delegates, but also because most of the countries sent their leading statesmen and public men.
 The meeting lasted six weeks, and while not all that was hoped for has been accomplished, yet it cannot be said that the conference has been a failure. It is not yet over, for the deliberations will be resumed at The Hague commencing June 15, and in the meantime the members composing the subcommittee on Russian affairs will labor diligently ln an effort to reach a substantial agreement that will be satisfactory to the divergent statesmen of the allied nations.
 The last official actions before ad- journment were pregnant for the ftl- ture The conference adopted re- port of the Economic Commission con- taining constructive recommendations for the economic regulation of Europe. Arrangements were also completed for reassembling at The Hague.

WANTS CONGRESS TO
 REGULATE CHILD LABOR

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Senator Hiram Johnson of California, yester- day introduced joint resolution in the Senate proposing to amend the federal constitution to give Congress the right to regulate or prohibit the employment of children under eigh- teen years of age.

The outstanding accomplishment of the meeting was the Lloyd George famous non-aggression pact, which has been acclaimed as the herald of a new arrangement which will mean the permanent peace of this continent. That such result will eventually fol- low is the openly expressed view of the ardent admirers of the statesman ship of the British premier.
 Much oratory was let loose on the delegates in the final hours before the vote to adjourn was taken, the keynote of nearly all the speeches being friendship, international con- cord and amity, and a sincere desire to help in the regeneration of Russia, in order to bring about the early admis- sion of that country into the family of nations.
 Referring to the coming meeting at The Hague, when committee repre- senting the allied nations will meet with a Russian committee, Lloyd George told Tchitcherin and his fel- low delegates, that if the Russians wished better success then, than they had achieved at Genoa, they must come to The Hague prepared to aban- don their continued presentation of the doctrine of repudiation of their debts. He said "such course is un- wise when one wants to borrow money"

 STHEJUDCE

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 20. - The trial of William Blizzard, charged with treason in connection with the recent riots of the striking coal min CTS who marched into Logan County under arms, must proceed, according to ruling by the presiding judge yes terday. Blizzard is the first of the defendants to be tried, and is an of ficer in the miners union. The issue was raised at the close of the gov ernment's testimony. when the de- fense attorneys moved for directed verdict of Not Guilty, because the government had failed to make out a case. The judge overruled the motion. Another motion was also argued by the defense, to make the government elect which overt act, alleged to be con- mitted by Blizzard, it would rely on. This motion was partially granted by the court which in its ruling limited the state as to the overt act it elect ed

 OXYGEN CAUSE
 OF EXPLOSION

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 20.-The fatal explosion which occurred in the basement of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory of the Lawrence Scientific School, the engineering department of Harvard University, was caused by the explosion of a tank of liquid oxy- gen.

LADY RAFFLES
 CHL0R0F0RMS FIVE PERSONS

MINNEAPOLIS, May 2O.--In these days of equal suffrage, the women of the country are not waiting for the adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment which purposes to give them equal rights in all particulars with the so-called dominant sex. Last Monday saw the first flapper burglar operating at West Batavia, Illinois, when she calmly footed residence and rode away with the booty in taxi. Yesterday this new phase of the wom- an movement was renewed in this city.
 A woman burglar last night entered the home of w. A. Folsom through a second story window. Silently enter ing the sleeping rooms of the family, she chloroformed five persons in suc- cession, and also succeeded in admin istering a similar dose to the watch dog on the premises. She then ran sacked the house at her leisure. When the family came out of their stupor, the found the lady Rallies had flown, and a search revealed that she had taken with her sixty dollars in money.

SeUen Former Employees
 Of Post Office Arrested
 Before BunditS Make Haul

NEW YORK, May 20.-Clever work by a post office inspector yesterday frustrated what was intended to be the biggest mail robbery in the his tory of the department.

Six of the seven prisoners were past or present employees of the post office department.
 According to the official statement, the scene of the robbery, which was scheduled to take place today, was to be the city hall post office. The men had. laid their plans we'll, and would probably been successful if it had not been for the keen work of the post of- flee inspector, who had cleverly con- sorted with the bandits, and been ac- cepted as one of themselves.
 The uncovering of the scheme re- yealed that the criminals were bank ing on a gigantic haul, running into the millions of dollars, involving se- curities and unregistered Liberty bonds, which were to be in registered mail pouches. The capture of the band is said to clear up the thett or
