CHEERED IN COMMONS.

II LONDON, May 25 ASSOCIATED
Rress) Loud cheers greeted Prime
Minister Lloyd George when he en-
bred the House of Commons at S.45
Qclock this afternoon for debate

n,ent.

ready to point to its achievements,

and the economic results reached, and
his opponents having for one thing

Mr.. Lloyd George in opening said
& ha purposed dealing only with the
btlsiness of the Genoa gathering and
did not intend to discuss German re-
islions or British relations with
ance, an opportunity for which dis
t,lsslon would be provided next week.
After reviewing the objects of the
4Dnference, he said that in regard &c
ne question whether the conference
Id succeeded he would simply state
ne facts fairly and let the members
{ldge them fairly.
Cheers from the Ministerial benches
{ollowed this utterance.
Although peace had been estab-
IBhed in Europe, it was quite clear,
he continued, that the war atmos-
Uhere to a certain extent remained.
As for Russia, 1t was hopeless for her,
Whatever her Government, to expect

Hqualid misery without the assistance

There were three alternatives In

nointed out, The first was force
which had been tried and failed, and
10 one had suggested that at Genoa
Tho second was to leave Russia to heI
fate.

Taking these responsibilities Walter
Ward had constant dealings with the
hlackmailers. Hts father. before he
went TO Europe. know what This,
son had undertaken to do and ap-
proved Of his plans. When the negp-
tlations had reached a point where
the young man was unable to con-
tinue dealing with the blackmaiiers
without advancing more money than
he felt authorized to take from the
Ward Baking Companys resources
without his fathers permission. wal
ter Ward cabled his father and got
back the prompt reply that George
8. Ward would not advance $4,000 TO
pay blaclSmail for anybody, but would
spend fortune to aid in sending
blackmailers to Jail.
The blackmailers. according to the
story. had already acknowledged their
inability to get money directly from
the man they were threatening. but
insisted Ward could get II for hts
principal by appealing to the elder
Ward.
The radlogram from the steamship
Majestic destroying this hope was
shown TO somebody in the band of
blackmailers, ti.l story ran, on Mon
day. This is understood to refer 10
the boy Peters. He insisted that IL be
shown TO the other members Of his
band, the authorities arc told, and
made tho arrangement to meet Ward
early Tuesday morning. which ended
with the shooting affray.
REMARKABLE STORY TOLD TO
Mr.. WEEKS.
According to the story. as told to
Mr.. Weeks. the victim of the plot. a
man of highly respectable reputation
and orderly habits. became acquainted
with two women who were believed
by him to be reputable but who en-
trapped him into situations which ss
would have been damaging to his rep
utation to have exploited. Photo
graphs were made which would bear
out stories to almost any effect the
women might choose to tell about
him.
The boy. Peters. and perhaps some
of the others were understood to have
been employed by the women as
messenger in asking their ac-
quaintance for money and later in
negotiating for the return of the
pictures. The man or men thus used
as go-betweens at length undertook
blackmall for themselves by means OF
threats to tell what they had learned
and by Representations that they
could duplicate the pictures.
The substance Of this new phase Of
the investigation was communicated
to Elwell .Rabenold of the Ward
counsel to-day. He sent back a reply
that he was not interested and woul,t
make no statement.
Previously he had been asked 81
group OF reporters when the firn
would issue a statement explaining
the discrepancies in Walter Wa d.

admitted that only the roads refusal

The government now admits that

by the central strike committee.
1T Is only the die-hard group OF
eastern executives who deny It. They
deny II because they want the strike
to 90 on They are using this crisis in
a vain attempt to install the open
shop.
IF the government wants to relieve
the transportation crisis II will settle
the strike. And the way to settle the
strike is to persuade General W. w.
