RUSSIAN PROBLEM BEFORE THE HAGUE CONFERENCE The Hague, June 21 (By the A. P.).— “At Genoa,” said M. Alphand, the chiet} ert at The Hague conference, | French tonight, “we had a Russian political ex- periment, which did’ not succeed. Now, at The Hague, we are going to have a| technical exveriment, which may or may not succeed.” The French leader, who has made a special study of foreign rroperty hold- ings in Russia, remarked that in the past it looked as though ail countries were divided into two groups concerning Rus- sia. One group wanted to come to an agreement with Ruslia at any cost and| the other at any cost did not want to reach an agreement with Russia. “Now,” Jne continued, ontimisticaily, “we non-Russian countries are all in ac- cord, at least in the sense that we wish| to agree with Russia in a reasonable manner and in such a way that the ele- mentary mocality of the rights of man shall be respected.” M. Alphand said that Pfemier Poin- care's original memorandum to Eng @ d} wauid be the basis of France's negu..i- tions at The Hague, and France was ready to stay here for an indefinite period in an honest attempt to attain some working accord with the representatives | of the soviets. S This hint that France is ready to ce- main at The Hague for practically a fim- itiess time seems to be borne out by the other delegations, who are making prepa- rations ot only to stay ail summer. but all winter, if necessary. Nobody is go- ing to hurry the Russians into decisions and nobody will permit the bolsheviki to hurry him. The uncertainties crowding the internal political situation in Russia will doubtless cause the mon-Ru: ex- Derts to proceed with the greatest circum- spection. Information in responsible quarters to- night indicates that France and Engiand have not yet reached a close working un- derstading on the various technical ques- tions to be discussed with the Russians. Their positions are so far apart that dif- ferences may arise between them when the time comes to enter into details with the bolsheviki é A pre-conference lineup among the greater powers shows France, Belgium and Japan on one side, and England and Italy on the other—the former- especially insisting ‘on clear guarantees, the actual restoration of confiscated ~ property whenever possible, and fixed compensa- { tion when restoration is impossible.

P.)— The social status of an American ex-pres- ident and his wife at the court of St. James has been fixed as second only to that of king and queen, in consequence of the presentation to the British Sov- erelgns_yesterday of Chief Justice Taft of the United States and Mrs. Tait. Ths precedent is that an American ex-presi- dent does not bow before the king and his wife does not curtsy to the gueen. As Chief Jatstice, Mr. Taft like 1 chief Judicial official of any other country. would have been presented in the usual way, and there seemed to be no metiod of making an exception until King (George expressed the wish that Mr. and Mrs. Taft ‘be_accorded honors granted former chiefs of state of European powers. instead of passing before their ‘majesties withya bow and curtsy, Mr. and Mrs. Taft were received privately by the king and queen and the members of their family in the Picture Gallery of Buck- ingham Palace a half hour before the formal ceremony. They accomvaniad the monarchs to the Throne oom, whers Mr. Taft stood at the right of the king and Mrs. Taft to the left of the quean. Mr. Taft wore judicial robes and Mrs. Taft was in fall court dress. After the ceremony they accompanied the roval family to the supper room of the palace.

Mrs. Jda M. Andrews, of Hartford, sister of the dead woman, asked the court to apboint ome of the family ad- ministrator of the estate, but Judge Miller deemed it inadvisable. After much daley in trying to find an attor- ney who would take the administrator- ship, Charles S. Brady, of this city, was appointed. The estate consists chiefly of fur- niture and accounts in several banks, approximating $2,000. The hearing was one of the most stormy that has come before the court in some time. e e ELEMENT OF DOUBT STILL IN MINNESOTA PRIMARIES St. Paul, Minn, June 21—(By the A. P)—An element of doubt still was attached tonight to the outcome of the republican congressional. contest of Monday’s primary in the third Min- nesota district, where, with two small procincts missing, representative C. R. Davis had a lead of 182 over Rue- ben Thoreen, in unofficial tabulatiops.

POLITICS AGAIN FIGURES IN WARD SHOOTING CASE ‘White Plains, Y; June 21.—A touch of politics again was injected in- to the War-Peters’ shooting case today. Seeking an opportunity to inspect the minutes of the May grand jury, which indicted him on a charge of murder ‘n the first degree for the slaying of Clar- ence Peters,” Walter S. Ward, former police commissioner of New Rochelle, charged “on information and belief" that Auckland B. Cordner, jury foreman znd an old political rival, was prejudiced against him, Ward added that Cordner had een a candidate for the commission- ership which he got. Supreme Court Justice Seeger. then di- rected District Attorney Weeks to show cause tomorrow why the minutes should not be inspected, as the first step for moving for dismissal of the indictment on the ground of insufficlent evidence.

CONFEREES AGREE ON THE AEMY APPROPRIATION BILL ‘Washington, June 21—House and sen- ate conferees on the army appropriation bill agreed late today on a maximum of 12,000 officers as the permanent strength for the army for the next twelve months. The house had provided for only 11,000, while the senate amended the bill to pro- vide ‘an average of 12,500 for the coming year. 4 The agreement leaves only one question of importance to be decided, the commit- | tees already having settled on an enlisted strength of 125,000 for next year. Meth- ods “of reducing the mumber of officers from the present number of more than 13.000 to that yrescribed by the bill have proved a stumbling block, and it was said after today’s meeting that in all probabil- ity the senate amendment covering the reduction would have to be rewritten be- | fore it would be acceptable to the house delegation. Several members of the con- | ference felt, however, that another day or two would result in an agreement on that | feature. ACCUSED MINISTER FINDS SYMPATHY IN UNDERWORLD Los Angeles, Calif., June 21.—Although credited with having eliminated segre- gated districts from several California cities, the -Rev. Donald D. Stewart, held in -the county jail here, facing charges of committing bigamy in four states and fleecing a quartet of wives out of thou- sands of dollars, declared today that he found that men and women of the under- world have greater hearts and wer2 more charitable to him than the members-of his own church. “I have gone down and down from the time that I was unfrocked in Oak- land in 1914,” Stewart sald, “but men and women of the underworld were kinder and more charitable to me than members of the church whose worship I had led. Not one of my flock stood by me in my trouble.” Stewart denied the charges of bigamy which have been made against him. He also denied that Mrs. Ethel Turner Os- baldeston, taken into custody with him, and who, it as alleged, posed as his sister and ‘arranved Stewart's marriages, was guilt of any w-eng.
