ews of thesss USELESS WORK TO HELP EUROPE WITHOUT DISCUSSING DISARMING, DECLARES RUSSIAN SOVIET LEADER Chitcherin Blames ‘‘Im- perialistic Countries’’ For Spending Vast Sums To Maintain Armies Both Russians and Germans Admitted to Principal Committee After Being Championed by Britain and Italy. Genoa, April 11, — (By Associated Press) — George Chitcherin, head of the Russian soviet delegation to the economic conference, issued a state- ment today declaring it useless to dis- cuss the reconstruction of Rurope without also discussing disarmament. Amelioration of present conditions is impossible while the “imperialistic countries'’ continue vast expenditures for the malntenance of large armies he said. Quarrel Is Averted Admission of Russian and German representatives to the principal com- mittee of the economic conference was strongly opposed today by both French and Belgian representatives. Fremier Lloyd George, together with Premier Facta and Foreign Minister Schanzer of Ttaly intervened, however and their conciliatory attitude finally resulted in the admittance of both the Ttussians and the Germans. The opposition to the presence of the delegates from the two couftries was an outgrowth of the I‘ranco- Russian incident at the opening ses- sion of the conference. M. Barthou, for France, but more especiaily M. Theunys for Belgium, placed them- gelves in opposition to the German and Russian representatives being ad- mitted to the principal committee while the representatives of the smaller countries which fought with the allies were excluded. Countries Most Affected Premiers Facta and Lloyd -George and Signor Schanzer maintained it would be impossible not to permit the Russians and the Germans to be rep- resented on the committee which was to deal chiefly with the problems af- fecting Germany and’ Russia. They argued that the cxclusion of these delegates would stultify the objects of the committee, because all were in agreement that the cooperation of Russia and Germany were indispen- sable to the reconstruction of Furope. Premier Theunys, in his argument declared the Germans were unworthy of taking part in the work of a com- mittee of such importance in associa- tion with the representatives of hon- orable countries. Lloyd George's Ultimatum The discussion became so heated that Mr. Lloyd George declared em- phatically that if such an intransi- geant spirit was going to prevail it might be as well immediately to break up the conference, the principal object of which was to re-admit Rus- sia and Germany to the Kuropean family. Russia Protests At this afternoon's meeting of the principal conference committee which is to consider Russian affairs, 1°oreign Minister Chitcherin of Russia, pro- tested against the presence of the Rumanian and Japanese delegates, because Rumania was occupying Bessarabia and Japan was occupying portions of Siberfa. Premier Facta of Ttaly, who was presiding over the committee declined to consider the Russian protest, giv- ing his reason that all the countries invited to the conference had a right to be represented on its committees AXLE BREAKS Republican Candidate for Alderman fn the Sixth Ward Hits a Bit of Hard Luck in Vote Chasing.

April 11 (By Associated Press)-— The administration tariff bill, as re. written by senate finance committee republicans on the basis of foreign valuation with provisions for flexible rates and proclaimed American val- uation as recommended by President Harding, was presented today to the senate. It was announced that it would be taken up April 21. A long fight is in prospect with some es- timates that it might continue for three months. Seems to Be Higher. Taken as a whole, the bill, ac- cording to estimates of committee ex- perts, averages slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrich law, the last re- publican protective tariff act. As com- pared with the house measure the spegific rates generally are higher but the ad valorem rates generally are lower as such rates in the house bill were based on American valuation. Treasury experts have estimated roughly that the bill will raise from $300,000,000 to $350,000,000 of rev- enue annually but they have not yet had time to complete accurate cal- culations. e house measure was estimated to raise $300,000,000 while the Underwood law yielded between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000, Effect On Living Costs, There is a division of opinion among the framers as to the probable effect the measure would have on cost of living. In the official report accompanying the bill, it is stated that the com- mittee majority had *endeavored to recommend rates that will afford pro- tection to American industry and per- mit them to pay wages sufficient ro enable our workmen to maintain an American standard of living." Protection to Farmers With regard to the agricultural schedule, one of the longest in the bill, the report said the ‘“committed adopted the policy of giving to agri- culture the measure of protection that has been accorded to other in- dustries with due consideration to the needs of all sections and of all in. dustries.” The rates in this schedule generally average higher than those in the house bill and included a large number of items, which were on the free list in the Underwood bill but placed on the dutiable bill in the emergency tariff act now in force. As a gencral rule the rates written into the agriculture schedule are at about the level demanded by the sen- ate republican farm tariff bloc. Com- mittee oxgerts stated however that with few exeeptions the rates in the agricultural schedule would not ex- ceed 25 per cent. This schedule em- braces meats, eggs, vegetables, gen- erally, fruits and practically all other products of the farm. The duty on wheat was fixed at 35 cents a bushel, the same as under the emergency act but five cents above the figure fixed in the house bill. Under the demo- cratic tariff act wheat was free. Cotton Duty. For the first time it is proposed that long staple cotton be placed on the dutiable list with the rate at 7 cents a pound as compared to the 15 cents asked for by the agricultural-tariff bloc. Short staple cotton is retained on the free list. The duties proposed in the silk and silk goods schedule is said officially to be at about the level of those in the Payne-Aldrich law. Jhey average slightly below the Fordney bill rates and considerably higher than those in the Underwood act, Rates On Tobacco, Rates on tobacco in the new bill are much higher than those in the IFordney measure and the Payne-Ald- rich and’' Underwood laws. The duty of $4 a pound and 25 per cent ad valorem proposed on cigars and ci- garettes is the same as that in the Kordney, Payne-Aldrich and Under- wood. Auto Tariff In the case of metals the commit- tee agreed on rates averaging along with the Payne-Aldrich, but higher than in the Underwood hill. The Payne-Aldrich duty of 7-40 of a cent per pound on steel ralls was agreed upon. Under the Underwood law such rails are free. The 25 per cent rate on automobiles, bodies and parts and motoreyeles compared with the 45 per cent in the Payne-Aldrich law and the 25 per cent to 45 per cent rate in the TUnderwood act Aside from hides and shoes and a large number of agricultural products fmportant articles taken from the fiee list incinde, sewing machines and cash registers, mechanical wood pulp, coccanut oil, sova Lean oil, and cot tonseed «il, te, lawy mowers, scythes and sickles Tin in bars, blocks and pigs restored to ithe free list from Fordney bi) as were shingles, ganese ore and bananas.

DAVID MOORE DROPPED BY CHIEF OF POLICE Patrolman, Serving Under Probation, Automatically Dismissed From Dept. Davir Moore, a member of the police force since February 8, 1921, has concluded his service with that department, following his actions last night while patrolling his beat in the Cherry street section. Moore, one of the new men in the department, had been suspended on two previous occa- sions, vas subject to dismissal without hearing for the next offense He had been serving under probation since January 11, 1922, when he com- pleted a six months' suspension. As a result of his actions last night, Chief William J. Rawlings said today that he is no longsr connected with the police force. At 7:40 o'clock last night, Jerry Horgan of 118 Clark street walked into the police headquarters and lodged a complaint against the patrol- man on the Cherry street beat. Hor- gan said that while seated in his au- tomobile waiting for a friend, the po- liceman abused him and ordered him to move along. According to the com- plainant, the policeman was intoxicat- ed. Earlier in the evening, while he was escorting a squad of men down the street, Sergeant G. C. Ellinger noticed that the policeman was in a unsteady condition. A short time af- ter the sergeant had goncluded a con- | versation with Patrolman John Stad- ler at the corner of Eim and Chestnut street, he proceeded to Cherry street, where he found Moore with Oswald Conrad in custody. The policeman claimed the man had refused to move on command. At the order of the sergeant, Moore went to the police headquarters, where he was question- ed by Licutenant Samucl Bamforth According to the report made by the lieutenant to Chief Rawlings, Moore was somewhat under the influence of liquor. His breath smelled strongly of liquor, and his ‘language was in- | coherent, the report stated. Accord- ‘\HL‘ to Tieutenant Bamforth's report, the polic>man admitted that he had been drinking, but said the reason for his predicament was that people on the beat were annoying him. and Stamford i’igilantes Are Aiding Dry Agents Stamford, April Ll committee of 100 which i Stamford's aiding in to have obtained the evidence on which #earch warrants were {ssued yesterday and which were used hy city police and federal enforcement officers last night.
