TARIFF BILL FOUNDED
 ON AMERICAN VALUATION

Washington. April 10 CBy the A. P.)- "It will be American valuation or con- gress will remain here until the snow flies" Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee, declared to- day after he had been informed official ly that the senate finance committee ma tority finally had determined upon for eign valuation as inc underlying princi- pie of the tariff bill which probably will be reported to the senate tomorrow.
 We will now insist on the original American valuation plan as written In the house bill" MT. Fordney continued. "The senate committee majority went back on the compromise American whole sale selling price of the imported article to which we agreed and now that bar gain is off"
 Mir. Fordney declared that he would never agree to congress adjourning until after the tariff bill had been passed
 Its nonsense to talk about such a gests such a thing wants to defeat the tariff and therefore is an enemy tc American industry and labor"
 ''In the case of many articles of inn port" continued MT. Fordney. there Is no duty short of 1000 to 1000 per cent. that would equalize the difference be- tween American and foreign valuation. Such duties would be extreme and the people would not stand for them It would be suicide to attempt them
 Representative Green of Iowa, and Longworth of Ohio, who with Mir. Ford ney would make up the house republican conferees on the tariff bill said they had not had time to study the senate meas ure and would withhold comment mean time. Mir. Longworth, thought it would take from two to three months for the senate to pass the measure and this view seemed to be somewhat general at the capitol.

BELGIUM ACKNOWLEDGE
 CLAIM OF UNITED STATES

Washington, April 0.-Aclnowledg- ment by Belgium of the claim of the American government for payment of the cost of occupation of the American army in Germany has been received by the state department.
 The Belgian government in a note de- livered to the American legation at Brus- seis, state department officials said to- day, asserted that there never was a dis position on the part of Belgium to ques- tlon the American claims. The note was said to be in every respect similar to the reply of the French government received several weeks ago.
 The Belgian reply was in answer to ldentic notes recently addressed by Sec retary Hughes to the governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Japan on the subject.

that the deliberations will continue, with every prospect of success.
 Disappointment is fel, at M. Chitcher- in's pressure on questions outside the Cannes agendS. because Frances oppo- sition naturally was aroused, and threatened the gathering at the very out set.
 British and filled diplomats admit that Mir. Lloyd George rose not . moment too soon to disS.pSte the menace by appealing 10 common sense. HIS ap- peal was all the more effective because he efused 10 take the head of the Rus sian delegation and the threatened dead look seriously. His remarks restored good humor, and on returning to his villa he received the congratulations of delegates of various nationalities. The Italian delegates went so far as to say that MT. Lloyd George saved the con- ference and the British delegation pays tribute to Premier Facta's tact ana res olution, whichh had a marked ef- feet
 No Applause For Wirth.
 Chancellor wirth, of Germany, was the only delegate not received with ap- plause when he rose. Speaking in Ger man he said We have come here, where so many have come, to improve their health, in order to find remedy for the illness affecting the world Economic and financial disorders have rendered the collaboration of all the countries of the world necessary"
 Premier Lloyd George and the bol- shevik delegates were central figures at the opening session of the conference. Both the British prime minister and the soviet delegation arrived after all the other delegates, and the expectant crowd stirred audib1y and began a demonstra- tion, which was quieted by misses from the spectators anxious to have the meet ing opened.
 The galleries in the assembly hall were clearly disappointed in the five rather formal appearing men who made up the soviet representation. These del egates wore morning coats and black ties and were attired otherwise in the con- verl ional manner, though the specta- tors seemed to think that they ought to have a different appearance. 400 Correspondents in Galleries.
 The United States was represented un- officially by the American ambassador to Italy, Richard Washburn Child. Four hundred correspondents representing the newspapers of the world crowded the large gallery of the hall and there were also many photographers present. Five hundred distinguished visitors and unof- ficial observers were ranged about the walls of the main floors. The delegates sat at tables in the center of the hall. All the consuls of the countries par ticipating in the economic conference were officially invited to the inaugura- ton ceremonies today. This left John Ball Osborne, the American consul gen. eral, who is prominent in the official life in Genoa, virtually the only local foreign official not bidden to the cere- mony.
 The situation was saved. however when the government requested Mir. Os- borne to accept a seat in the visitors section of the conference room.

DECISION AGAINST THE
 STANDARD FASHION co.

Washington. April 10.-Contracts of sale made by manufacturers requiring re- tail dealers exclusively to handle their products which may have the effect to substantially lessen competition were to- day held to be invalid by the supreme court.
 The opinion was delivered by Justice Day in a case brought by the Standard Fashion company, a New York corpora tfon, against the Magrane-Houston com- ,pany of Boston, and sought to compel that retail company to observe the terms of a contract which the supreme court declared was one of sale and not of agency or joint venture.
 Adopting the findings of the circuit court of appeals for the first circuit of the results obtained through the contract the supreme court reached the conclusion that the contract properly interpreted with it's restrictive covenant brings 1t fairly within the section of the Clayton act under consideration" It therefore affirmed the decision of the circuit court which held that contract invalid.

Genoa, April IO.-(By The A. P)- Russia. the status of which is one of rhe questions of supreme importance to be decided by the economic conference, came 10 the forefront soon after the opening of that great assembly today. Speeches had been made by the pre- siding officer. Premier Facta Of Italy, N. Barth0u, representing France Premier Lloyd George. of Great Britain, Dr. Wirth of Germany and spokesmen of Japan and Belgium. all of concila tory nature and voicing adherence to the Cannes resolutions upon which the present gathering is based.
 Afr. Lloyd George had said that all rho delegates met on a footing of equality. provided they accepted the con- ditions set forth. which, briefly, declar- ed that countries must not repudiatte -heir contracts. that they must not wage war on the institutions of another. that they must not engage in aggressive op- erations against others and that the peo- pie Of one country should be entitled 70 justice in the courts of another.
 George Chitcherin. the Russian Soviet toraiEn minister. iH speaking for his delegation Announced their adherence to the resolutions. and then declared that Russia was ready to support any pro-
 
 the burden of armament.
 M. Barthou immediately protested and declared with some heat that France would absolutely refuse to discuss the 7uestion of disarmament at this confer eucs Nf f.~'
 ,Ir. Lloyd George hastened to inter vsne and ln his contention that dis armament could not be taken up. cer- tsinlv not before a peace basis had been r-sched at Genoa. he was supported by siEnor Fsots-
 Russian Delegation overruled.
 Eventually the discussion on this point ceased after NJ Chitcherin said the Rus sian delegation would bow to the col Iective will of the conference.
 The clash between the Russian and French delegates disclosed the fact that disarmament is not on the agenda. and that therefore this matter is not to be taken up for consideration.
 The keynote of Lloyd Georges speech was peace. and he made a powerful ap- peal 70 the delegates to work in unison for the restoration of good relations and normal economic conditions throughout the wrId. He believed that if the con- ference was successful in it's achieve lncnts. th8 United States would mot merely come in. but come in gladly"
 Tho Italian premier, who was elect ed permanent chairman of the confer euce. was equally earnest in his desire for unanimity and promised the aid of Italy iu carrying out any resolution likely Co guarantee peace and stability among the nations.

Are Causing the Evacuation of Police Barracks by Free State Officials.

Belleeh, Armagh, Ireland, April To- (By the A. P.)-The Belleek police bar racks was evacuated today by the gar rison consisting of an inspector and twenty men. This is the first place to be given by the six-county authorities The barracks is situated in Belleek town, on the Fermanagh- Donegal border. The former barracks in Belleek was q fort on the Donegal side, which is now occu- pied by Free Staters, who have received. reenforcements of forty men.
 The position of the police became un- tenable owing to the gathering of follow CTS, of Eamonn De Valera at an adjacent Slnn Fein camp where there are woo men, whose numbers are growing daily. The garrison obtained permission of the Free Staters to use the road passing through Donegal territory in their retreat to EnniskiIlen. Otherwise they would have been compelled to abandon six mo tor lorries and go down the Lough Erne in boats.
 The Free Staters were interested spec tators of the evacuation. which makes their own position more difficult as the police in the barracks had assisted them in keeping watch on the republicans.
