U. $. REFUSAL TO TAKE PART
 IS REGRETTED
Genoa Conference to Be Held But All Expect
 Failure.

LONDON, March 9.-News today that the United States had declined to attend the international economic conference a Genoa has disappoint- ed all supporters of the project. The view is held generally in Europe that the absence of the United Sta- tes-the principal creditor nation Is bound to detract from the useful ness of any decisions which may be adopted, because European econo- mists are increasingly convinced that the rehabilitation of Central Flu rope Is possible only with the active aid of America.
 The refusal of Washington to take part will not affect the date, or plans for the meeting as far as Great Brit ain is concerned, however, it is stat ed officially, and it is believed all the other invited nations will accept the invitation, including Japan.
 All newspapers are commenting un- favorably upon Americas refusal to attend.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March g. - What is believed to be a huge inter. national Kidnapping plot, highly organ. ized and with deep political signifi' canoe, has been rvealed here in the investigation of two recent cases.
 The first Kidnapping was that of C. F.. Cartwright and L. J. Velsit of Houston, Tex, who were arrested on false warrant and brought here rushed across the border and held for heavy ransom. Both men escaped from the outlaw band.
 The second was an attempt to kid nap General Francisco Murguia, an aged Mexican e1-leader. who resides near here and at Houston.

tCREAT INJURY SUSPECTED
Denounce Alliance as Lik ely to Lead to Grave Trouble for the United States.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-When challenged peremptorily from his own side today to stand forth and reveal the origin of the four-power Pacific treaty and it's true inward ness, Senator Oscar w. Underwood. the Democratic leader and member of the arms conference. today told the senate he was obliged to con- Ress that he knew but few details of the unpublished negotiations, as he was absent from Washington while the parleys were progressing.
 This admission on the part of the Democratic chieftain let down the bars for a free-for-all debate on the part of the Democrats, who were quick to take advantage Of their opening. They adopted at once an 'sI told you so" attitude.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas de- nounced the pending treaty as noth- tng more nor less than an "alliance' which he declared would not promote peace" but to the contrary, will pro- mote the formation of several inter national alliances which will lead America into great harm"
 The Republican leaders, includ- Ing Senator Lodge, have given notice they will reply to every charge and Aspersion regarding the treaty and xhe American aim in agreeing to it.
