LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 21.—Mrs. Clara Phillips, whose trial for the murder of Mrs, Alberta Meadows has been set for September 18, is believed W have purchased an automatic pis- [ tol two days before the young widow was beaten to death with a hammer, according to a story the Los Angeles Times published today. The Times located a duplicate record of the sale of the pistol, which polic departments require il dealeTs in such articles to keep, and found the salesman, John H. Raney, who said the woman who purchased the weapon seemed to resemble in every detail the newspaper pictures he had seen of Mrs. Phillips. A statement from the sheriff's office declared the purc! of the pistol such a short time before the slaying of Mrs. Meadows “was considered ad- | ditional evidance of premeditation” on the part of Mrs. Phillips. The purchaser signed her name as “Mrs. A. L. Phillips” The initials are the same as those of the husband of the defendant in the Meadow murder. The age given was twenty seven years. differing from the state- ment that she was twenty-three years of age, made by Mrs. Phillips to jail officials when they wrote down a record of her arrival there. Mrs. Phillips’ husband was quoted by sheliff's deputies as having told them his wife, who was born in Tex was an expert shot and “could cut an apple in two with a six shooter at several hundred feet.” Raney, the salesman said, remembered it the woman chased the pistol asked “for a load of cartridges, “not a full box.” Offi- cials started an inquiry to determine the extent of the cartridge purchase.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRKR. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1 THE HAGUE, Holland, July 21.— When all is said and done the truth about the Russian conference at The Hague seems to be that the Russians were ready for a géneral agreement, while the western powers were not. The chict utility of the conference has been its educational value to the Rus- slans. Patiently, stubbornly and thoroughly, day after day, they have been instructed by the western dele- gates in the principles of ordinary business methods. As a result of this education they finally saw that gov- ernment credits were impossible and that the only way of re-establishing Russla was first to restore confidence s0 that the country could be opened to the private inftiative of foreign- ers. Could Have Been Debated. When the Russians finally were made to understand this they pro- posed to recognize Russia's inter- national debts and to give adequate compensation for confiscated property without asking for any credits. It is true that they named as a condition that the soviet government be gi de jure recognition, but this could have been debated had the western powers been disposed to continue the conference. The Wwestern delegates realized, however, that it would be impossible for the soviet delegates to give real guaranties for the execution of their promises. In these circumstances they preferred not to accept the last offer, but to close the conference with the Russians in a conciliatory mood. Individual Negotiations Next. The program now is for the in- terested nationals of all countries represented here to open individual negotiations with the soviet govern- ment. If these negotiations prove successful and the Russians demon- strate their good faith some of the western governments, notably the British, seem prepared to proceed in the near future to de jure recogni- tion of the soviets by separate agree- ments. The scramble for Russian conces- sions has already begun. One Dutch firm has just taken a lumber con- cession and another has taken a mo- nopoly on the export of manganese in a portion of the Caucasus. Leslie Urquhart a British business man and one of the declegates to this confer- ence, asserts that he hus been ne- gotiating for the return of his fac- tories near Moscow. The European oil interests represented here have declded to open a confer- ence here in about ten days, with M. Patyn, who has been president of the non-Russian commission, pre- siding. The Standard Oil Company has not been invited to send a rep- resentative, but my impression is that it may do so if it desires. The object of the conference is to form a group to resume oil production in the Caucasus. A resolution ambiguously worded but probably adequate in moral,ef- fect was adopted ygsterday to pre- vent the pirating by the nationals of one country of the Russian property of the nationals of any other coun- try. A declaration in the same sense but far stronger -from the United States was repeated by a Belgian delegates, but one of the Polish dele- gates said to me afterward: that ceutical group that has been ex- ploiting my asbestos near Ekaterine- last two years give it burg for ti back to me. The outstanding feature of the con- ference, of course, was the sudden re- treat of the western powers in the face of a possible general agreement. The French government, apparently no less than the British, felt that in; l Impelled by “Duty.” ' - various QUEEN OF THE GYPSIES DIES AT ROVING BAND’S TENT OUTSIDE COTTAGE By the Associated Press.

PULASKI, Va, July 21.—The largest single “shot” of dynamite ever fired in a mining operation—ac- cording to local quarrymen—was set off yesterday at Pembroke, Va. The charge was composed of 85,000 pounds of explosives, but so carefully had the preliminary work been done that the shock was scarcely perceptible at a distance of 400 feet.’ A large crowd gathered about the iquarry to witness the detonation, ‘which, it was estimated, resulted in 325,000 tons of stone being broken away from the walls. Of the advarices from appropriations payable wholly by the District, there was credited to local revenues $5. §56,204.55, ‘eaving an unadvanced bal- ance of $110,968.21. The report showed also that the cash collected for District revenues during the periods mentioned amount- ed to more than $110,000,000. The surplus funds at the time amounted to $1,349,000. Under the heading “drawback certificates” a credit of $351,130 was assigned to the District, and with miscellaneous credit items the accountants figured the total credit for the District of Columbia at that time to be §112,601,705.02.
