number Of Alabama business men to
submit an offer to the government on
behalf Of the state of Alabama for
Muscle Shoals. Gov. Kilby declared
that he is highly in favor Of the propo-
sition.
The governor expressed the opinion
that If the Muscle Shoals property was
operated by the state government it
would be possible through the profits
derived to relieve the people Of the state
of all further property taxes. He de-
clared that II his administration did not
expire within the next year he would
seriously consider calling the legislature
into special session to consider the pro-
posed plan.
In order for the state to purchase the
property it would be necessary for an
extra session of the legislature to be
held for the purpose Of calling an elec-
tion. as an amendment to the state con-
stitution would be required to appro-
pirate the money for the purchase.
Gov. kilby stated that he is giving
the matter serious consideration, al
though he doubts If it would be possible
to secure the necessary legislation be-
fore his term of governor expires next
January.
Gen. Robert Lee Bullard was the
principal speaker at the Alumni day

REAL TOR PEGGY IS
BELIEVES ANGRY AS
WIFE SLAIN SHE LANDS
w. p. Lockwood Asks Police to
Find Bride, Missing With
$4,000 in Gems.

Believing that his wife has met
with foul play the motive being
robbery Of more than $4,000 worth
Of diamonds and jewelry that she
took from a safe deposit box on
Tuesday, w. p. lockwood, real
estate operator, with Offices at
1410 G street northwest, who lives
at Chesterbrook, near Falls Church,
Va, has appealed to the police 10
investigate her mysterious disap-
pearance.
Gone Since wednesday.
According to Mr.. Lockwood. his
wife, who is thirty-four years old
and the mother Of two children. left
their home at ChesterbroOk early
wednesday morning to go to the
printing establishment of the w. f.
Roberts Company. 14l5 l. street
northwest, where she was employed.
At $3.50 o'clock Mrs. Lockwood re-
ceived a telephone message and
Immediately left the printing place.
That was the last seen Of her by
any of her friends or relatives,
according to Mr.. Lockwood.
Investigation by the police has
shown that on Tuesday Mrs. Lock
wood went to the studio of J, r.
Brooks, photographer. 1929 F street
northwest, and had several pictures
taken, one showing her wearing
the diamond rings, a valuable wrist
watch, and diamond lavalliere,
which she had taken from the safe
deposit box.
Prints Of the pictures were given
to Mrs. Lockwood late Tuesday aft.
ernoon, and on Wednesday morning,
before going TO her place OF employ.
ment. she hung them on u wall in
her husbands office.
Reaching his office Wednesday
morning, Mr.. Lockwood was surprised
to learn that his wife had preceded
him and hung the pictures on the
wall. He attempted to get in touch
with her later in the day, hut was
told she had left the printing estab.
lishment. In the evening, when
Mrs. Lockwood failed to return
home, he became alarmed and start
ed a search for her.

quarters.
II believe my wife has been mur.
dered," said Mr.. Lockwood. IT
think she was slain by some one
who wanted her jewelry. There
was no reason for my wife leaving
me and our children. We had no
quarrel, and when she left home on
Wednesday she was cheerful and
made no complaint.
my wife did not tell me she had
taken the jewelry from the safe de-
posit box and was surprised to
learn that she had done so. But
she did so no doubt for the pur-
pose of wearing them when she
had her picture taken. 1t Is my
opinion that she was lured away
by some one who saw her wearing
the jewelry."
Mr.. Brooks, the photographer,
said that when Mrs. Lockwood was
in his studio she was cheerful and
did not appear to be worried.
When she left her home Mrs.
Lockwood wore a red dress and
dark straw hat. She is described
as being about five feet five incht >
tall, weighing about 100 pounds.
She has dark hair and eyes.

GENOA. May 12.-The first
great constructive step in the in
ternational economic conference
was taken today when Premier
Lloyd George. head of the British
Empire delegation. laid the foun-
dation for his long-heralded ten
year non-agression pact to pre-
serve the peace of Europe.
British Statement.
In an official statement, issued
from British headquarters. an
nouncement was made that: Il
4. The British Empire delegation
has accepted the Russian reply as
the satisfactory basis for an Euro
-. The British VIII formally pro-
pose a truce based upon existing
frontiers pending the work Of the
conference commissioners and the
formation of a definite Russian
agreement.
IA break on this document would
mean that all the border states
would be exposed to the danger OF
a war, and the peace OF Europe
might be fundamentally disturbed,
the British official statement said,
In reference to the Russian note OIL
last night.
The British official statement con-
tinued:
so far as helping Russia is con-
cerned, this document makes 1t more
difficult, but that is the affair Of the
Russian government.
1--WE are not, of course, prepared
to appoint representatives to a conf
mission to study the Russian problem
any further unless there are definite
guarantees of no further propaganda
in foreign states and guarantees
that foreign states shall not be men
aced. While the commission is
working, these guarantees must be
reciprocal"
The British declared that they
were mot prepared to say that
Europe is not to be denied peace or
that the Russian people must be com

"The appointment Of a commits.
sion seems a practical way to carry
on the study Of the Russian prob
lem through a much more difficult
way than II we had done So"
CThe commission referred to by
the British was the same one pro
posed by the Russians in their
answer. They suggested that an in.
ternational committee be created to
study in particular the question Of
a loan to assist Russian reconstruc-
ton and compensation for nation.
allied property in Russia)
Answer Called Stupid.
The British pointed out that the
character Of the Russian reply made
it apparent that Russia must wait
for some time before securing long
term credits.
The official view OF the Russian
communication was thus summed
up:
Apart from the expression on
peace the document is stupid from
the Russians viewpoint. 1t is full
Of idle propaganda instead Of prac.
tical suggestions"
The French delegates unofficially
