Genoa, May 8. — (By Associated Press) — Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Foreign Minister Schanzer of Italy, addressed today a strong appeal to the Russian repre- sentatives at the conference here urg- ing them to accept the allied memo- randum {n its main points and prom- {sing Russia an international loan, with the understanding that the lead- ing countries would thus provide funds for the reconstruction of Rus- sla. The allies would claim the right to make sure, however, that the money loaned was actually invested in-the work of reconstruction. ‘Want 35 Times as Much It was asserted that altogether the proposed loan would amount to 800,- 000,000 gold francs. It has been de- clared that the Russlans were asking for 8,000,000,000 gold rubles or 26 times as much as the allied offer. Although the Italian parliament is in session Premier Facta returned to Genoa from Rome today accompanied by the minister of finance and the minister of labor called here by the gravity of the conference situation. Meets Tchitcherin Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia was the first delegate Signor Facta saw. The premier in his conver- sation with the head of the Russian delegation emphasized the necessity for all Europe, but more particularly for Russia that the conference prove successful. He asked that the greatest effort be made by the Russian delega- tion to find such a compromise as would be acceptable to all. Lenine's Orders M. Tehitcherin it was learned, has received instructions from Premier Lenine which are reported to embody an emphatic order not to accept clause 1 of the allidd memorandum, which forbids bolshevistic * propaganda abroad, virtually restricts Russia to her present boundaries and asks Rus- sian neutrality between the Turks and the Greeks. Lenine’s contention is reported to be that this clause jnfringes upon Russian sovereignty, attempts to pre- vent Bessarabia from effecting a re- union with the Ukraine and seeks to interfere with the friendly relations with the Turkish Nationalist govern- ment of Mustapha Kemel Pasha es- tablished by the Angora treaty. Criticizes France The Russian delegation had previ- ously issued a statement denouncing the efforts it alleged France and Belgium had made to wreck the con- ference. The statement called atten- tion to the fact that these powers which were predicting that Russia's refusal to accept the memorandum would break the conference up, had not themselves signed the memoran- dum.

Displeasure of the prisoners over a change in the method of admitting visitors led to the outbreak. The riot started on the fourth tier. Flaming blankets were dropped to the ground floor. Dense smoke also suf- fooated many inmates. With steel strips of iron from their bunks, the prisoners beat upon the bars of their cells the bedlam being heard for blocks. Crowds gathered at the jail entrance and police were called to drive them away. The women's ward is just above the fourth tier and close to the center of the disturbance. Four children, three years old, who were locked up when their mothers, and two other women were committed last Thursday on a contempt of court sentence became hysterical and jail physicians were called to quiet them. One woman, about to become a mother was report- ed to be suffering a severe nervous shock. Warden Westbrook said that after each of more than 900 prisoners had visitors on a recent visiting day pack- ages left mounted so high it required the entire jall force nearly all night to sort them. Guns, saws, files, drugs and all manner of contraband was found, he said. The warden then decided to divide the jail into four sections and permit only one fourth of the prisoners to have visitors at one time. TWO BODIES FOUND Both Dead From Bullet Wounds, and Pistol Beside Them, Are Significant. Mamaroneck, N. Y., May 8—The bodles of John C. Kane, Jr., 34, and Miss Elizabeth Dunn, 33, were found in the woods of Alton Work park near here today. Miss Dunn had been slain by a bullet through the heart. Kane Kane was killed by a bullet which ranged upward through the mouth. An automatic pistol was found at his side. Kane, a clerk in the Mamaroneck postoffice was reported to have been engaged to Miss Dunn, a school teach- er. Her home was in Weedsport. Police reported there was no evi- dence of a struggle at the spot where the bodies were found. A small bouquet of wild flowers, clutched in the dead girl's hand was still unwilted when the double trag- edy was discovered. MAY CREATE NEW POST Board of Fire Commissioners Favors Man and Woman, Physician Who Shall Handle Cascs of All Injured Firc Fighters. At a meeting of the board of fire commissioners tonight, it is expected that a new position, that of physician in the fire department, will be creat- ed and the incumbent will be select- ed from among the following appli- cants: Drs. Arthur J. Savard, Na- than B. Jaffe, Joseph Walsh and Da- vid Waskowitz, It is probable that a salary will be agreed upon rather than have the physician remunerat- ed in fees for the cases handled. If the council approves the fire board’s recommendation, all firemen who are injured while at work, will be required to undergo treatment with the department physician. In this way, the board will be in a posi- tion to check up all claims for com- pensation. ADVICE T0 YOUNG MEN “Wheat King,"” on James A.

Land Long Neglected. While the assessor's books have heen fairly complete as regards houses and buildings, the lands upon which there are no structures have been neglected, perusal of the books in- dicates, and in this way millions of dollars’ worth of property has had no tax paid thereon. In a few instances where there is wide expanse of land under develop= ment, the entire tract has been listed as farm lands and comparatively lit- tle has been paid in taxes. The as- sessor proposes to list these places as building lots and assess accordingly. In many cases stretches of land have been found that have never appeared on the books in the assessors' office. Results By January 1. Assessor McCarthy will endeavor to devote sufficient time and energy to this new canvass to bring in every piece of property within the city lim- its to its proper ciassification. By Jantary 1, 1923, he feels that several millions in untaxed property will have seen listed, Mr. McCarthy, who took the chair- manship of the board of asscssors only last week, felt the need of a thor- ough canvass of land throughout the city long before he became connected with the board.
