fire started in the shoe shop and
slightly damaged the shop and con-

to the door. To fight the blaze the
firemen were forced to break open the

GRAFT RUMOR REPORT
EXPECTED TOMORROW
Likely to be Subject for Consid-
GRAFTON at Police Board
Meeting.

Denials that a detective had been
summoned TO appear before the di-
rectors OF the Department of Public
Safety. in connection with the probe
into the rumors of graft and hush
money for the protection Of gamblers
were made by $. K. Smith, president
of the board. and Superintendent
George Black this morning.
The directors will, however. un-
doubtedly consider the rumors and
Superintendent Black will make a re-
port at tomorrow's meeting of the
beard The superintendent today
would give no intimation as to the
nature of his report
Mr.. Smith said today that there were
no new developments in the inves-
tigation, which. so far as he knows
has not uncovered any evidence to
show that a detective or patrolman
received hush money. The money
according TO the reports was supposed
to have been paid by some one con-
nected with the bookmaking establish
ment recently raided by the police.
1t is possible that the police NAV
take the offensive in regard to the
rumors and summon those responsible
for the publication Of the reports tc
explain their sources of information
such persons would probably be sub
poaened in time to appear before
the directors tomorrow afternoon.

HOPE LLOYD GEORGE

France Threatens to Withdraw;

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

by Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
Genoa. May S.-The fifth week of
the Genoa Conference, opening today.
will see the end of the conclave, 1t is
generally believed. An atmosphere of
gloom pervades conference circles in
view of the apparent irreconcilability
Of the positions OF England on one
hand and France and Belgium on the
other over the terms under which the
reconstruction of Russia would be
undertaken.
Admirers of Mr.. Lloyd George be-
lieve he may yet have some trump
card in reserve, but in other quarters
no such hope is felt, although it is
conceded that several deadlocks have
been broken when dissolution seemed
certain.
Among the reports circulated is
that Mr.. Lloyd George will promise
direct governmental loan to the
Bolsheviki if they agree TO accept the
terms set forth in the allied memo
randum. Another Is that the con-
ference will be continued. even il
France and Belgium drop out in pro-
test against the recognition. embodied
in the allied memorandum, of Rus
sia's right to hold foreigners property
sequestrated under the soviet ma
tionalization program.
Those who predict breakup
think II will take the form of an
adjournment. II the Soviet reply.
which is expected within two days. is
unsatisfactory TO the powers. these
people say. another note will be sent
to the Russians, embodying the
powers minimum terms and giving
the Bolshevih a, stated period for
consideration and final reply.
The Russians may spring a sur
prise by returning a favorable answer
to the present memorandum. but com
plete acceptance is improbable. and
the Bolsheviki would hardly agree 70
amendment by France and Belgium
of the property clause, which they
already regard as one OF the most
drastic conditions laid down by the
powers, as it compromises their
political principle that all propertv be
owned by the state.

POLICE FROWN ON
GAMES OF CHANCE
Will Not be Officially Sane
toned, Even in the Name
Of Charity.

That the selling OF chances on prizes
will not be done in this city with the
consent of the police was last night
stated by Rev. Carlisle J.. Hubbard
d d., in his sermon at st. Paul's NJ
+. Church, on tho quoted authority of
Superintendent OF Police George
Black.
The preacher had conference with
the police last week, during which the
matter was gone into.
THE harmfulness OF such practices, ="
DR. Hubbard said. lies in the fact that
they appear so innocent: and the
argument that they serve good
cause is fallacious one. Purity OF
purpose cannot make an illegal act
legal. Anyone who purchases a
chance on an article and loses, is
robbed And Il he wins there are
planted In his life seeds of love OF
gambling that may bring forth fruit
unto death. That people look on the
quarter spent as contribution a
charity may be proved untrue by try
ing to get contributions for charity on
Market street q n Saturday night
The chance plan is purely a gamble 81
Reference was made to an unsigned
letter published last week in "A local
paper, In which the statement was
made that several fraternal societies
