morning for the murder of Detective
Armstrong and Wallace w. Mulcare,

the President today. She was un-
successful in obtaining an interview
with either the executive or his sec
retary and was told by assistants in
the office that the President would
act only upon recommendations from
the Attorney General. and it was
suggested to her that she take the
matter up with the latter.

discuss her mission because Of almost
constant weeping and a high nervous
state. said she merely wished the
President to stay execution for a
sufficient time for her attorney to
make a new plea to the Attorney
General. She said she felt confident

GENOA CONFERENCE
T00PEN APRIL 10
Italy Announces She Will Be
Ready on That
Date.
Ry the Associated Press


PARIS. March 6.-April 10 has been
definitely settled upon as the date
for the opening of the Genoa eco
nomic conference. Italy. from whom
a request for delay had been expected
owing to the extended cabinet crisis
last month, informed the foreign
office that she would be ready on that
date.
The French government will have
nve representative. at the opening
Of the conference, one of whom is
quite likely to be Premier Poincare
himself, but for a few days only.
The Italian note announcing rea1i-
ness to proceed on April 10 caused mild
surprise at the French foreign office.
as It had been unoficially said THAI
Italy would not be willing to enter
the conference during Holy Week.
regardless of whether she was ready,
but the news Is greeted with sdtis-
faction, as it is realized that the
problems to be discussed are momen-
stated that should a ls,Quest for de-
lay come from any quarter France
would acquiesce after Great Britain
had agreed, but would not indorse
such request previous to its accept
ance by Great Britain.
The present French government
feels it was unfortunate that the
French delegation as an entity could
not remain at Washington through
out the conference for the limitat tion
OF ornaments. and an endeavor will
be made to avoid a similar situation
at Genoa. The delegates will be
chosen from among prominent French
statesmen holding full plenipoten-
tiary powers, but whose public duties
do not necessitate their presence in
Paris during the period OF two or
three months which, in French opin-
ion. will be the duration of the con-
ference.
Premier Poincare will not be able
to remain for more than a few days,
owing to the fact that President Mil
lerand will be absent on a visit to the
French North African possessions and
protectorates. During the six weeks
Of M. Millerands absence Premier
Poincare's presence in Paris will be

not yet been chosen.
The French experts will be ready

the delegation before they depart for

Ministers to Meet.
The meeting of the finance minis.
ters Of France, Great Britain, Italy
and Belgium on March will be
merely for the purpose of discussing
the distribution among the allied
powers of the reparations payments
already made by Germany.
With respect to the meeting of
the foreign minist<s Of the allied
governments in Paris on March 20,
france Is anxious for the earliest
discussion of near east questions,
as it is feared in official quarters
that with the return of spring and the
disappearance of the snow, the
roads thus becoming practicable, the
Greeks and Turks win resume hos
tilities, which will make the work
Of the foreign ministers more dif1i-
cult.

Tax Discrepancies.

600 persons having over $1,000 and
their total reported income was less

This discrepancy is attributed In
part to technical evasions and
straight illegal withholdings. but also
in part to the existence of tax-exempt
income. What this means in terms Of
the income tax Is that the govern

they are not paid in money. 1t is esti-

(the average recompense of personal

to the total national income would
be about one third. or $4,000. 100000
