GENOA BECOMING "OIL TOWN"
(By the-Associated Pressl

Genoa, May 5.-The economic con-
ference today expected to end its de-
liberations on financial, economic and
transport questions. The subcommis-
sion on economics was expected dur
ing the day to make its report to the
full commission which will proba bly,
approve it. This will leave only politi-
cal problems.
The Russian question and the pro-
posed non-aggression pact are taxing
the ingenuity of Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain but there was
optimism today over their possible So
luton.

Genoa, May 5.-None of the Ameri-
can oil towns ever had greater oil ex-
citement than Genoa has had over the
rumors that various oil agreem tents
have been entered into by the Bolshe-
Wiki delegation. Petroleum is guSh-
ing all over the Genoa conference;
nothing has created such a stir since
the Germans and Russians handed to
the surprised conference their Easter
treaty
BaI<u just Moves In.
Baku has literally moved to Genoa.
and Azerbaijan has been put on the
map for diplomats who formerly had
little idea where that republic on the
Caspian was located. Certain districts
never heard of until this week are
being dicussed glibly.
The Russian delegation has denied
that it made any contract for the sale
of it's output. Everybody from NJ.
Tchitcherin down has denied reports
of all contracts. Col J. w. Moyle, a
Canadian officer who represents the
Royal Dutch and Shell companies
here which are reported to have
signed contracts with the soviet, has
issued repeated denials from his sick
bed here.
Britain Also Denied 1t.
The British government has also
denied that contracts have been made
with its knowledge but the French
correspondents will accept no denials
and are describing ''the alleged
treachery' which is supposed to have
given the British control of the Cau-
casion output.
1t was expected that oil would be
the greatest prize which the Russians
could offer at Genoa; consequently
there is Willingness to accept any ru-
NOR and the air is full of them.
The Standard Oil company had
many properties in Azerbaijan and
Americans are watching the develop
mentS keenly.

Peking. May 5.-General Wu Pei Flu
was in control of Peking at noon to-
day and General Chang Tso Lin.
whose forces he routed yesterday in
a fierce battle south of .ne capital.
was reported fleeing 70 Mukden.
Chang's army is retreating in dis
order toward Tien Tsin. Observers
here believe Chang's sudden collapse
has ended the hostilities.
Routed Opponent Early.
With fifty thousand troops. General
Wu Pei Flu encircled Chang Tso Lin's
forces outside Peking yesterday
Thursday and after fifteen hours OF
relentless cannonading, machine gun
opponent, making himself master of
the situation around the Chinese
capital.
Last night Wu's forces camped un-,
molested outside the city gates while
Chang's soldiers were scattered, hay-
ing retired with the main body down
the railroad toward Tien Tsin or dis
persed in unorganized mobs over the
hills.
Left Their Dead Behind.
The routed army left behind artil-
lery, munitions. horses and loaded
camels and its wounded and dead.
The total casualties in the days fight
ing are believed to have reach from
5000 to 1000 dead and wounded,
Before dawn yesterday Wu Pei F'u
started a simultaneous attack on all
of Chang Tso Lin's entrenched posi-
tions to the southwest of Peking. BY
O'Clock the Manchurian general had
retired from Changsintien, II miles
southwest of Peking's gates
The retreating army fell back to
the Hun river and tried to hold a posi-
tion near the Marcopolo bridge, but
under the advance of Wu's men.
Chon0fz fnrrpS fled going
trains seaward for Tien Tsin and
others scattering to the hills or plead
ing that the gates of the city be open
ed to give them refuge.
Picking walls Are Closed.
Before noon yesterday Wu Pei F'u
had advanced to the vicinity of Feng
Tai, a few miles east of Changsintteu,
where Chang Tso Lin's troops rallied
for the defense.
The fighting was thus brought near
Peking's walls and warning was sent
to the city authorities that soldiers
were about to enter the capital. The
gates were imm mediately closed, only
foreigners who had been shut out be-
ing permitted to return.
BY mid afternoon, WI Pei Flu had
captured Fengtai, thus delivering a
decisive blow at Chang's stronghold
nearest Peking. Soon the retiring army
had been driven so far from the city
that the firing was less distinctly
heard here, a1tho stragglers continued
shooting directly under the walls.
All Rail Communication Off
WI Pei F'u's attack in this sector
is believed to have been undertaken
concurrentIy with similar drives at
Machang on Chang's southeastern
front and on his middle front on the
Hun river. Consular reports indicated
that the fighting at those places was
intense.
Peking last night slept behind
guarded walls The gates were closed
and barred and patrols Of soldiers
paced to and fro all night with fixed
bayonets. Only persons bound on Of
ficial business were permitted 20 pass.
Railroad communication in all direc-
tons has been suspended.
