To Discuss Agenda First
CANNES, Jan. & BY The Associa led
Press The program for the forth
coming international economic CON
ference was uppernost in to-day's
conversations between the Premiers
The Ere nch view has been that the
agenda should be strictly laid down in

eleven o'clock tomorrow morning.

experts to-day. the Belgians stoutly
opposing any modification in the sched-
uie of payments that likely would COM
promise their priority on the $780,

The French delegation is backing the
Belgians on this point, but it is in
clined to make concessions to the Brit

In Doubt on Russia
Participation by Germany in the
eventual international economic CON
ference is now taken for granted, but
there still is discussion as to what
would be the consequences of the
presence of Russian Soviet delegates
which it is held in French circles
would be tantamount to recognition OF
the Bolshevis regime. TIE British ex-
perts agree that an invitation to the
Moscow government to send delegate
to the conference would be equivalent
to de facto recognition. while the
jurists attached to the delegations say
there is little difference between dc
facto and De Jure recognition.
The Italians are strongly supporting
the idea of full conference. com.

that they we're guilty. They appealed
and the supreme court took the same
view of their case as Judge Harsh twice
had taken and two iuries had taken.
Judge Pittman states that he read the
entire record 10 the case and that he
does not believe that the men commit
ted the crime-thatit was purely case
of mistaken identity. On one of the
visits of Gov. Taylor down here last
summer he and the judge met in the
courthouse. In the course of the con-
versation, Judge Pittman says he told
the governor that there was record in
a case that be wanted him to read, ex-
planning that he had done so and con-
cluded that the men were innocent
Judge Pittman says that he did not ask
the governor for mercy, but only that
he read the record in the case, and if he
reached the some conclusion that the
judge did then to pardon the men.
It is understood from Nashville that
members of the pardon board protested
against the pardon of the men, but that
the governor went right ahead with it.
They got to Nashville on January IA

they were convicted on the big case the

Brown, Clouse and Scott with Demo-
cratic congressman.
so far as State officers are con-
cerned, Dunlap will be an easy win
ner over Beasley, and Peay should
win over Taylor by an old-time Dem
ocratic majority. On State as well
as national issues, the keynote of the
Republican campaign will be an
apology. Gov. Taylor has made bet
ter music and chased more foxes than
President Harding, but as an execu-
tive it would be difficult to determine
which was the creator failure. The
chief legacy of Gov. Taylor's admin
istration to that of his successor,
Mr.. Peay will be million-dollar de-
felt. In his prediction campaign
Gov. Taylor promised tax reform and
efficient government, but the State
has had neither during his admins
tration and the only hope of reduced
taxes and better government in Ten
nessee lies in the election of a Dem
ocratic Governor and an intelligent |

GOV. ALT TAYLOR
PARDONS l. w. W. MEN
Were Twice Convicted in Memphis
Courts.

Courts.
Frank Boggio and William Hines,
known members of the I. w. W., twice
convicted of highway robbery, we're
pardoned soon after they reached the
penitentiary by Gov. Taylor without
even petition filed with him or the
pardon board asking that he intervene.
Thus is the information that became
public for the first time in Memphis
yesterday.
The Nashville information is to the
effect that Judge A. B. Pittman of the
third circuit court interested himself in
the behalf of the men and that it was
after talking and corresponding with
him that Gov. Taylor turned the men
loose.
1t was during the reign of terror in
the spring of last year that two men
walked into Charles Batestrino's store,
on the South Parkway, not far from
where the Illinois Central Railroad
crosses about noon. In the store at the
time there was the driver OF packers
wagon delivering meats. The two
bandits held them both up at the point
of pistols and wounded Batestrino
slightly. He had the rare good fortune
to drop just as one of the men fired and
the bullet from the pistol only grazed
the top of his head. Boggio and Hines
were arrested a few minutes after the
crime going south on the railroad.
At the first trial they we're represented
by Jesse Edgington. Both men we're
convicted and everyone who heard the
testimony thought that the verdict was
right.
Headquarters of the l. w. w. in
Chicago heard OF their trouble and sent
one of their legal staff down to repre-
sent them. Itwas Miss Caroline Lowe.
