Object Will Be Attained
at Genoa Conference

Genoa, Apr. 9-(By a. P0--The
British prime minister. Mr.. Lloyd
George discussing the conference
today said:
Il am glad to be here on the eve
OF the conference which l obstinateiy
sought while others vainly tried to
wreck it. With the same obstinacy
| will work for the success OF the
conference, of which / am fully con-
fident.
II had originally planned to stay
here one week but now I think l will
remain a fortnight, even longer if
necessary. the task before us being
OF capital importance. to re-estab-
lsh good international relations and
restore economic conditions in all
states.
II have expressed to Signor Facta
and Signor Schanzer my gratitude for
their abnegation in preparing this
conference. even when it was uncer.
tain that it would ocur. 1t is inn
possible to predict exactly what will
be accomplished. The days Of
conference are as uncertain as the
days or human life; nobody can tell
what the morrow will bring forth.
But one thing is certain, we have
come here to work with all energy
and earnestness. not to waste any
time in amusements."
The British prime minister and his
family are staying in the Villa De
Albertis, four miles from Genoa

A. T. O. FIVE
GETS DEKES
BY SCORE 1920

The Alpha Tau Omega basketball
team won from the Dekcs, Friday
night by a score of Sc to 20. The
game was not very fast but once or
twice the Dekes rallied and did some
scoring This is one of the final
games Of the interfraternity tourna-
ment and puts the Alpha Tau Omega
team in tie for second place. The
Phi Delts have cinched first place
and have decided to forfeit the two
games that they were scheduled to
play because practically their whole
team is on the baseball squad and it
would be bad to let them play bas-
ketball at this time. Chamberlain,
the tall A. T. o. center did some good
work and succeeded in netting six
baskets; Callaghan at right guard
was close second to Chamberlain
with five baskets to his credit. Barnes
did most of the scoring for the Delta
Kappa Epsilon team with five bas-
kets. Barnes broke through good
many times with the ball and If his
teammates had shown as much pep
the game would have been close
one.

Conan Doyle Here
to Convert America
to Spiritualism

New York, April 9-(By A. P.(-
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. creator of
the materialistic Sherlock Holmes,
but now a sincere believer in things
spiritual, arrived here tonight to raid
America.
Il propose to make a raid on Amer
lean skepticism" he said, in explain
ing the purpose of his proposed lee
ture tour. Il propose to raid church
and laity alike"
Stepping onto American shores
from the White Star liner Baltic for
the first time in seven years, the dis
tinguished author admitted that the
memory and reputation of the master
detective still surrounded him, but
asserted that he had definitely and
enthusiastically graduated from ma
tcrial to spiritual things. 1t is not
that Sherlock was out of place or in
discreet, but Sir Arthur declared he
had learned the truth" and Sherlock
Holmes, however interesting and val
liable as friend, has no place in my
life now
But the atmosphere of materialism
was present as Sir Arthur, his wife
and his three children arrived. For
the creator Of Sherlock Holmes was
met at Quarantine by man equally
famous in the world of detectives.
William j. Burns, chief of the bureau
OF investigation of the department of
justice. Mr.. Burns said he was very
much OF materialist, but went down
the bay to greet the English visitor
as IAN old friend and a man who
would have made wonderful detec-
tive
"Spiritualism today" said Sir Ar
thur after he had greeted the Amer
lean detective, lis nothing but reli-
gion. 1t is a greater religian than
anything else We have ever known.
Fifty years from today this world
is going to be a spiritual world. in
which leaders of thought are going
to laugh at our puny attempts to
fathom the future.
"Splritualism teaches a definite
knowledge of the life after so called
death. 1t teaches US not to fear
death and that the passing of heart
beats is merely promotion.
iou otc, 50 Cdlleu QeaQ man
goes TO happy place. There is no
crime, no sordidness and it is many,
many times happier. You always
have a difficult task proving to a man
on that plane that he, not you, is
really dead"
That is what Sir Arthur is going
to teach here. His lecture tour, or
raid, is not for money. he claims.
Whatever he gets, goes to the cause.
although he admits he probably will
take il away from the United States
because We ALREADY have all the
money in the world
The Doyles Will be in America
three months. They will visit Phila :
delphia. Boston. Washington, ST.
Louis, Chicago and possibly other
cities.
