ARMOUR ORDERED
TO DISGORGE PLANT

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The gov.

to prevent the proposed steel merger, it
was indicated today when the federal
trade commission, ordered Armour &
Co., Chicago packers to disgorge the
L. II. Stanton Co., meat packers of
Spokane, Wash.
. From reliable source it was learned
that government attorneys believe the
proposed merger of a half dozen steel
companies is similar in nature to the
Armour Stanton case.
In this case the commission found
that the acquisition by the respondent,
Armour g. Co. of the entire capital
stock of the E. II. Stanton Co. under
the conditions and circumstances con-
stitutes vain of the Clayton act
In word the commission has ord
cred Armour & Co. to disgorge one Of
the largest packing plants in the coun-
try which they have swallowed and in
corporated in what is claimed to be an
inseparable part of their system"

LOS ANGELES, Calf, May 16.-
Jean Acker, first wife Of Rudolph Val
entino, movie hero, who was married
to Winifred Hudnut in Mexico Satur-
day, was expected today at the district
attorneys office to confer with auth
critics regarding her husband s action.
Assistant Attorney McLelland said he
would not say that Miss Acker would
swear to a complaint, but said she
would call on him.
McLelland said he had not been in
formed of the facts in connection with
the ease, and did not know Valentino s
present whereabouts. 3"But we will
soon locate him if complaint is
issued,'' he told the United Press.
The fact that Valentino had obtain

vorce from his first wife, Mrs. Harriet
Guglielmi, better known to film enthus-
lasts as Jean Acker, caused legal cir
would be liable to the charge of big
amy should he return to California
with his bride.
Superior Judge J. w. Summerfield,
whose decision in notorious divorce
cases have made for him q national re-
putation, asked to comment on the Val
entino case called attention to the
warning printed at the bottom of the
form of every interloctury decree grant
ed in the state which reads:
"Notice-caution: This is not a
Judgment of divorce. The parties are
still husband and wife, and will be
such until a final judgment of divorce
is entered 'after one year from the en-
try of this interloctury judgment.
''The final judgment will not be en-
tered unless requested by one of the
parties. -
Valentino and his bride have remain
ed on the Mexican side of the border,
or are in concealment on this side, it
is said, and the district attorney s of
flee here, when asked if any action was
contemplated against the screen stars,
observed that no official notice of Val
entinO g marriage had been received.
The ceremony was performed last
Saturday at Mexicali, Mex, by Judge
Sandoval, and the witnesses included
DR.. Florella Mansfield Wyatt and
Douglas Gerard, director and actor.

United Press Leased Wire

GENOA, May 16.--America 3 refusal
to approve the Hague plan makes it ex.
tremely probable that the proposed con
ference to appoint Russian commits.
sion will be called off
The French today indicated they will
follow the lead Of the United States
ceptance, and asked for "a hours delay
to consider a new reply.
The Allies, desperate at seeing their
hopes for renewal Of the European
conference at The Hague next montl,
fading, planned new note to Washing
ton.
The political subcOmmissiOn today re.
fused to accept the American refusal
to participate as final. The commission
decided that the last paragraph of the
note, emphasizing America 3 willingness
to join economic inquiry into Russian
affairs, as well as to receive further
proposals, formed basis for further
correspondence on the subject.
Soviet Must Reform First
WASHINGTON, May 16.--The admin.
istration today stood pat on its deter
mination not to recognize the soviet
government Of Russia.
This was clearly shown today in the
note Of Secretary Hughes rejecting the
invitation to the United States to par
ticipate in the allied conference The
Hague June Is, which Russian affairs
will be discussed.
The American government makes
plain that it will not consider recogni-
ton of Russia or negotiations regarding
the soviet until fundamental reforms
are instituted by the Bolshevists.
The United States however is ready
to put its views to test by joining an
allied commission to investigate what
is wrong with Russia and what are the
remedies.
1t is confident that such commits.
sion, by making real investigation of
the Russian situation would come to the
same conclusion held by this govern
ment, namely that the basis for the
economic reconstruction of Russia and
resumption of international relations
lies only in soviet guarantees Of the
safety of life and property, of the
sanctity of contracts, and the rights
of free labor.
French Also Wary
PARIS, May 16.--France probably
will follow America 3 lead and refuse
to participate in the proposed confer.
ence at The Hague June Is, it is semi.
officially stated.
The French cabinet today decided to
refuse to send delegates to The Hague
unless the conference is limited strictly
to economic subjects.
Poincare cabled Secretary Hughes
that the French point of view toward
the proposed Hague conference coin
cided with that Of the American gov
ernment.
