PERU AND CHILE
TOSETTLE ISSUE

Washington. May ID (By the Asso.
ciated Press).-In an atmosphere of a
renewed cordiality and hopefulnes~
the plenipotentiaries of Chile and Peru
will meet tomorrow in the hall of the
Americas to attempt solution of the
differences that have estranged then
governments for more than genera
tion.
Convened in Washington at the in.
vitation of President Harding, the con
ference will be opened with an sd
dress Of welcome and good will by
Secretary Hughes, delivered in the
presence of a notable gathering OF
government officials and diplomatists
from every part of. Che world. Re-
sponse will be made for Chile by Luls
1zquierdo and for Peru by Meliton
Porras, and then the two delegations
will retire for private consultation in
their new effort to try "the new con-
ference plan of diplomacy"
Although the seriousness of the
problem is everywhere realized, there
was feeling here on the eve of the
conference that the delegates would
come together under conditions nota-
bly, auspicious. For two governments
between whom diplomatic relations
have been severed for a dozen years,
Chile and Peru have approached the
negotiations in a spirit of amity re-
garded in diplomatic circles as so un-
usual as to give much promise of a
settlement.
At the same time, among the dele
gates themselves and among officials
who have an intimate knowledge of
the 40 year controversy over the
treaty Of Ancon, there was apparent a
tendency to warn against overconfi-
dence. Quick results are not expected
by those in position to make authori-
tative predictions. 1t is recognized
that an agreemen can come only after
many intercharges of opinion and
there are some who believe that in the
end the outstanding issues must be
left to arbitration.
1t now is considered improbable that
the United States will in any way be
represented in the negotiations unless
arbitration becomes necessary and
both delegates agree to appeal direct
ly to President Harding.
That the president and his advisers
aresready tor render any sseryice thst
may be asked OF them, however, az
ready has been made known to the
delegates.

CONFERENCE TO
TAKE RECESS

Genoa, May ID (By the Associated
Fress).-The Genoa economic confer
ence will be reconvened on June 10 at
The Hague to discuss Russian ques-
tions If the plan agreed to this after
noon at private conference of the
inviting powers be accepted by the
subcommission on Russian affairs al
its meeting tomorrow.
This decision to postpone action rel
ative to Russia is prompted largely
by the desire of the European powers
TO induce the United States to partic.
pate, and apparently it merely is a
means of dissolving the Genoa con-
ference without admitting that the
difference between France and Great
Britain regarding the treatment Of
Russian problems can not be recon
ciled in Genoa.
Sir Edward Grigg announced this
afternoon that this compromise plan
suggested by Premier Lloyd George
had been accepted by the inviting
powers and will be passed on by the
subcommission on Russian affairs to-
morrow. Only vague details are given
as to how the proposed commission or
commissions to discuss the Russian
question will be formed at The Hague.
and the entire scheme seems to be
still IN the twilight zone, awaiting
Americas decision whether she will
help Europe to straighten out the tan
gle.
Sir Edward added that all the pow
ers attending the Genoa conference
will be asked to send representatives
to The Hague, where they will agree
upon matters of the commission, who
are to sit with the Russian represen.
tatives.
Present at the meeting at Mr.. Lloyd

AN ATTEMPT TO
BLOW UP BRIDGE

An unsuccessful attempt was made
early yesterday morning by unknown
persons to destroy the viaduct at the
union station by means of which
traffic, including street cars, crosses
the railroad tracks there, charge Of
some explosive being set off beneath
the southern end of the bridge. Lit
tie damage was done, however, only
few boards being torn of the bridge
and hole blown in the ground be-
meath the end of the bridge.
The exact nature of the explosive
used is not known, but the theory is
that it was dynamite, the imperfect
placing of the charge, accounting
probably for the absence Of material
damage to the structure. J. w.
Spence, superintendent of the trac-
ton department of the Columbia Rail.
way, Gas and Electric company, who
was called to the scene, said yester-
day that dynamite has been used
twice before in an apparent effort to
wreck the company'S track. Both of
weeks ago, he said, one on the Coloni1l
Heights line and one on the Ridge
wood line. Cars were being operated
on these two lines at the times of the
explosions, Mr.. Spence said, but in
neither case was any material damago
done. The explosion yesterday morn
ing was set off at A o'clock, all of the
street cars having already been re.
turned to the barns for the night and
therefore did not endanger the lives
of either employees or passengers. The
bridge, although it carries the tracks
of the street car company, is not tn.
property of the company, but was
built and is maintained by the South
ern railway system. Mr.. Spence was
called to the scene o. the explosion at
about 4:20 o'clock Yesterday morning,
he said, and there discovered that the
explosive had been set off under the
southern end of the bridge.
City police, who reached the scene
shortly after the explosion, have been
unable to find any clues as TO the
identity of the person or persons set
ting off the explosive and no arrests
bave been made in the case. A night
watchman at the Pacific mills, Mr..
Spence said, reported that he had seen
an automobile standing near the
bridge at the time. The car, ac-
dafdinH to the watchnans, Mr.. Spence
said, drove off immediateIV after the
cxplosion.-The State

YOUNG Man LOSES
LIFE In POND

Douglass Johns, young married
man who lived at Monarch Mills, was
accidentally drowned ins Hog Thief
pond on the Southern Railway three
miles below Union yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock.. He went in
bathing with six or eight others and,
1t is reported that he was warned by
one that he was poor swimmer and
might come to grief. He went in, how
ever, and got into water over his head
and was drowned. Some two or three
hours later his body assrecovered and
brought to the undertaker's parlor
here to be prepared for burial.
The funeral hour has not been set,
awaiting word from brother who is

The death has caused sorrow to
many. The burial will be at Beulah

AGREEMENT TO
ACCEPT TREATY

Geneva, May IA (By the Associated
Press).-The German and Polish rep
resentatives attending the sessions OF
the council Of the league Of nations
are ready to sign tomorrow the eco
nomic treaty agreed upon, settling the
Upper Silasia question. The signing
Of this treaty will conclude wing. the
league of nations considers the
leagues greatest political achi ,ve-
ment. The document is longer than
the treaty Of Versailles, coma ming
COL articles, which is 166 more ARTICLES
than are embraced in the Ncrs rilles
treaty.
The Upper Silesian agreement fol.
lows sir months work under the chair
manship of M. Calender, former pres
ident of Switzerland. who was ap-
pointed arbitrator by the league of
nations. Although the conference sew
eral times was on the verge Of break
ing up without an agreement, M. Cal
onder never had occasion to use his
authority from which there would
have been no right of appeal.
The Upper Silesia agreement which
members Of the league regard the
most important settlement of a Eu-
ropean controversy since the signing
of the Versailles treaty, contains de-
tailed arrangements for dispositions
Of the railways, water, electric cur
rent and coal, and postal as well as
legal. problems for Is years. 1t is
designed also to prevent an economic
crisis and provides for two joint Pol
ish-German commissions under the
league of nations chairman, the first
Of which is to execute the treaty and
the second to settle private dis.
putes.
League experts believe the treaty
will remove possible sources of war
between Germany and Poland and
France and that it so pools Silesian
resources as to prevent either Ger
man or Polish Industries from suf-
fering.
The Germans still are dissatisfied
with the territorial divisions based
on the plebiscite but feel that they
are compensated by the economic ar
rangements. Settlement Of the long
pending Silesian problem was refer
red to the league by the allied su-
preme council. ss.., -

SEIZED DOCUMENTS
PROVIDE / ] PROOFS

Chicago, May 14ss1S6arch today
through the mass OF dosdmentary evi-
dence seized in a spectacular series
of raids on union labor headquarters
has supplied proof, ,aeeoSding to the
police. that recent murders, bombings
and lawlessness resulted from the eff
forts Of a triumvirate of labor men
to rule Chicago unions.
; The three men involved, who, the
police said, were among She $50 seiz-
cd several days ago following the
murder Of two patrolmen seeking to
arrest four bombers, not only were
living off the unions butswere double
crossing them, it is claimed. Books,
memoranda, letters, filet and other
matters, it was said, told how these
men used the money collected as un-
ion dues to employ sluggers to intimi-
date members of their owl unions and
hold them in line. ..sssSSS.
Not content with the large sums
collected, much of which was appro-
priated to their own uses;sit was said,
members of, the triumyirslte also col
lected money secretly from the en-
ployers, of Union labors to settle
strikes ,or under threats of calling
needless strikes. sa
Playing both ends against the midi
die, dominating their own unions by
fear, employing sluggers to beat up
those who refused to-; acknowledge
their authority and bombers to intimi-
date employers, provided such a luc-
rative business, according to the po-
lice, that the triumvirate itself was
split by dissension and jealousy. q
Meanwhile attorneysf for the eight
men, indicted in connection with the
Staying of the two policemen, were
preparing to go into court tomorrow
with demands for the immediate trial
of their clients, who, they declared.
were unjustly held. Reports that con-
