ANOTHER ANGEL
At GENOA FROM
RUSS DEMANDS
Soviets Contemplate
New Proposals; Want
to Cancel All Debts.
Allies Say Pact Will
Be Difficult Unless
Moscow Is Reasonable

Genoa, April 24.-By The Associ
ated Press. )-Another new twist i,
the Russian tangle again causes in
quletude in conference circles. Seem
ingly the Russian delegates have de
Veioped new set of proposals. 1t il
understood that at the meeting Of thu
experts on the Russian question Mon.
day afternoon the soviet delegates ar
! gued for the complete wiping out OF
the war debts and also relinquishmen!
Of all arrears in interest on pre-war
debts.
/ simultaneously, they asked for as.
! surance that the powers would grant
loans sufficient to enable Russia to
reorganize her national life.
AS the soviet previously had given
the allies to understand that a scaling
| down of the war debts would be ac-
cepted. the demand Of the delegates for
protocol cancelling these debts caused
great surprise to the representatives
OF the powers, who reported to the
chiefs of their respective delegations
that the trend of Mondays meeting
with the bolsheviki indicated the pos
sibilitv of insuperable difficulties in
coming to some arrangement With the
soviet.
Want Responsible Government
The Russian request for extensive
loans caused dissatisfaction because it
is recognized that it would be extreme
Y difficult to guarantee credits to
Russia without some reasonable as
surance that they would be handled by
a truly responsible Russian govern
ment.
The allied chiefs frankly expressed
the opinion that an arrangement with
the soviet will be extremely difficult
unless the Russian delegates show a
reasonable attitude. Sir Laming Worth
ington- Evans, the chairman of the com
mission said he could not discuss the
matter further if the soviets adopted
such an impossible attitude. and there
fore must refer the situation to the
respective governments of the allies.
The experts adjourned sine die be-
cause Of what they termed the exces-
sive Russian demands. which proposed
also that the powers accept non-resti-
tuition Of the private property of for
eigners.
The Russian delegates declared that
the terms they were willing to grant
were conditional, first, on the recogni-
ton of their government and. second,
receipt Of a loan from foreign coun-
tries in addition to cancellation of ar
rears in interest on the pre-war debts,
the Russians demanded moratorium
OF 80 years on the pre-war debts them
selves.
No Property In Russia
The Russians stated that restitution
OF property was contrary to their pol
icy of naturalization. but claimed that
Russians had the right to possess
property in foreign countries because
these countries were under bour-
geoise regime
The breaking up of the experts |
meeting has caused depression in CON
ference circles. It is realized that the |
aew incident endangcrs the good re-
suits 0 fthe conference, especially after
he French premier's declaration that !
France would withdraw from the con-
'erence unless the Cannes resolutions
we're scrupulously adhered to-

some as little as 10 per cent
In this connection, while the Win

bearing the word "Merino," have long
been used in the trade, the court did
not accept the contention that they are
generally understood as indicating
goods made partly Of cotton.

FIGHT STARTS
ON HARD|NC'S
TARIFF BILL
Debate Launched With
Democrats Opposed to
Measures Provisions.
Says It's Appeal to
Predatory Interests of
United States.

Washington, April 24.-There was
an old-fashioned tariff debate Monda,
in the senate. 1t marked the real be-
ginning of the weeks and perhaps
months of battling over the administra-
tion measure. which the finance com
mittee reported two weeks ago.
The discussion was opened By Sen
ator Smoot. republican, Utah. with q
detailed explanation of the elastic tariff
proposals written into the bill at the
suggestion Of President Harding and il
included an attack On these proposals
by Senator Jones, democrat. New
Mexico, and the opening of general
assault on the whole measure by Sen
ator King, democrat, Utah.
KiRg Says Increases Cost
Characterizing the measure as more
iniquitous" than the Payne -Aldrich and
Dingley measures, Senator King charg-
ed that it was q bill Ito increase the
price of everything the people buy" and
was framed in the interest of the dye
trust, the steel trust, the chemical
trust. the woolen mill trusts. some of
the cotton manufacturing trusts. and
the multitude of great organizations
that in the past have preyed upon the
people and that in the future will CON
tinue thier policy Of exploitation.
Senator King declared that the ad-
dress of Chairman McCumber of the
senate finance committee. in calling up
the measure last week, was IAN appeal
to the predatory interests of the United
States to be merciful to the poor con-
and said that when the nation
was at war and the very fate of civil
zation seemed to be at stake. "some of
the same vultures that dictated sched-
ules in this bill were robbing the Amer
Ican government"
Says Not an Appeal
Chairman McCumber later denied
hat his address was IAN appeal" He
said that in discussion conditions in
he world and in this country, he
.hought the time opportune to call at
.ention of manufacturers, retailers and
'actory laborers that the American
public could consume only as much as it |
'ould purchase and that if production

King took q fling at the agricultural |

Identified his signature upon a large
number of claims for pork sold during
the years 1918 to 1921 and aggregating
about $22, 40. These claims were made
at prices ranging from nine to II cents
per pound.
Another attempt was made by tho
state to bring about the admission Of
the requisition or receipt slips by which
it had previously sought to show tho
quantity of goods which were used in
the residence of Mr. Conley. State Ac-
countant e. e. Stewart was put on the
stand for that purpose, but Colonel

the store issue books were the best
evidence.
No Books Now

issue books in existence at the prison
at this time, stating that he had made
search for them week ago last
Saturday. The court said the state had
failed so far to qualify the slips and
