DINNER IS GIVEN
II FOR LADY ASTfll
r J. New York, April 20.?In honor o
nills Lady Astor, who described herself a
i an a sort of connecting link between th<
, A. English speaking people, many met
an and women, scores of them leaders ii
ting sundry fields of labor, attended a din
Iver. ner tonight under the auspices of th
t at English Speaking Union.
? in Presiding was John W. Davis, for
Mr. mer American ambassador to thi
that court of St. James. He showerei
and Lady Astor with compliments, as di<
>f a the other speakers. ^
nlly In her speech Lady Astor put in i
ring good word fqr the accomplishment
bole of *the league of nations.
Wit- "It is . all very -well to Jiear peopl<
Stm. talfc of, European entanglements, bu'
Was the world is already tangled, and w<
>nd- have to think of a plan to disentangli
one ourselves. " No one could think tha'
self English fathers and mothers?with
nearly 800i000 sons who will nevei
nja- return?would want to join in {
He league which would entangle them oi
anyone else in war. 'The English
know enough about wars never U
want to fight or see anyone else hav?
Jo fight.
Ison "These mothers and fathers think
se* as I feel sure the fathers and moth
miy era of America do, that the safes!
way to get out of wars is to joir
hird home sort of association of nations
r is for peace. The Washington confer
this ence showed us what can happer
and when great countries with greal
was ideals get together. That misrepre
sented, much despised league of naf?r
tions has already prevented three
last Small wars. It has registered ovei
:her one hundred treaties. It has repatri
? i*1 ated nearly 400,000 prisoners?not i
^a" bad record for only half a league."
r ?f Lady Astor said she thought it ?
strange thing that she, England's
?yM first woman member of parliament
c'r" should have come from England's
l*e<* first colony?Virginia,
"It fa all very picturesque wher
'e?? one thinks of it historically, but il
9ver seems very ordinary when it is done,'

of six children, offered an apology

am not on a mission to promote i
P0^" better understanding between Eng
land and America.
Lady Astor said that if Americn
draws back with horror when she
looks at Europe she does not blame
her, "for certainly Europe is a saei
tion enough sight."
eth- ' the viscountess did not believe
the that standing back is the right waj

PREMIER HEA# BY
PRESS OF 1VORLD
Genoa, April 20,?(Byxthe Associated
Press).?Facing BOB newspaper t
correspondents representative of vir- I
tually all the world nations the Brit- t
ish prime minister todlKf after an- 1
nouncing that the German would ac- j
cept the conditions imposoi by the al- i
lies concerning the Rsso-German 1
treaty and that the So\rw's reply on J
the general Russian quc*An would be t
such as to permit of fvHter hopeful 1
negotiations, declared hwunshakable ]
conviction that the GenoaT conference j
would prove a great sucms. He believed
that it would rcstofe harmony \
in Europe and was supmuely confi- (
dent that before adjourning it would j
adopt an agreement whortfby all na- t
tions of Europe would bincHhemselves v
not to commifr acts of aggression
against neighboring countries. ' j
"Such a pact," he excMimed, with j
vigor, "is an essential to t&fe favorable c
issue of this conference} without it, I (
believe the conference w*H be a fail- (
ure."
it' t
Genoa, April 20.?(By. ti?e Assoc*- j.
ated Press).?The economic conference
was tonight without* a definite
settlement of the Russo-dfrman inci- j
dent after a day given ovedi to private ^
conversations, conferences between
the Germans and Russisps and all ?
sorts of entente and a gfeat, assem c
bly of the world's pres% called by
Premier Lloyd George, whfc addressed
the newspaper representatives of 40
nations and announced thitt'the Ger- (
mans would accept the condition? im- j
posed by the allies and thfet the Russian
attitude toward the . London ex- ^
perts' report would be Asuch that (
further negotiations woqdd be possible.
After Mr. Lloyd Georgfc had made v
his statement, the Geimans afffilunced a
that they were still considering c
their reply to the note wf-ti e big. and ,v
little entente, denying them admission
to the conference unless the RussoGerman
treaty was rescinded or at
least amended and approydd by the "
conference. The Germans are said to
be divided in their rela&ns? Thta is v
the reason for their deh^y :;i coining
allies. The Russians also have with- ,
held official publication of their re- 1
ply to the London experts' report ]
which had been promised for today. 1
In short, the day closed with no deft- 1
nite advance over the position of the s
previous day but with a general feel- '
ing that the Germans will take an f
attitude which will make the situation *
easier and pave the way for a con- .
ference agreement on the Russian
problem.
One of the Italian delegates said
the German answer was expected Friday
morning, at which time Signor
Schanzer, the Italian foreign minis- 1
ter, would convene a meeting of the 1
allies together with Rumania, Poland,
Switzerland and Sweden for an exchange
of idea on the Russian reply,
which may have been delivered by .
them.
According to the French spokesman,
tonight the delegates of one of
the allied powers, not France, alter
the announcement of the Russo-German
treaty had prepared a resolution
calling for adjournment of the conference.
The delegation brought the
resolution to the meeting which drew
up the protest to Germany, but being
satisfied with the text of the protest
decided not to present the resolution.
This spokesman added that the
French were not so optimistic as Mr.
Lloyd George; certainly France was
not willing to pay a price without
limit nierely to bring about a successful
conference. As indicative of the
confusion here, he explained that the
French information tonight was that
the Germans might decide to go back ;
to Berlin, with the understanding that
they should return to Genoa when
their participation in the deliberations
was required.

INQUEST HELD 'l
OVER PEAY'S BODY
Chester, April 20.?Coronor .1.1
Henry Gladden today held the inquest j e
in the case of Richard Peay, young 1<
man and veteran of the world war,. t
who was killed April 10 in the Glad- e
den apartments on Hudson street by! d
another world war veteran, Joseph j i
P. Queen, who is now in the Chester h
county prison. ii
The verdict of the jury, J. R. McManus,
foreman, was that "the 3aid r
Richard Peay came to his death from d
gunshot wounds inflicted upon his a
person at the hands of Joe Queen." t
The first witness examined was ii
Mrs. Maggie Adams, sister of the n
dead man. Mrs. Adams swore that
the men had quarreled about money, t
matters. She said she was in her r
room at the time of the shooting o
and, therefore, was not an eye wit- p
ness of the killing. n
Other witnesses examined were Of- t
fleers Gregory and Young, Sheriff o
Anderson and Dr. W. D. Barnes. A e
statement from Dr. George A. Hen- s
nies was read, testifying to the na- s
ture of the wounds. b
Several of the witnesses swore that b
Mrs. Adams said directly after the p
shooting that Queen had been forced h
to shoot her brother. It was testi- ?
fled that Queen was apparently sober; t
also that Queen had a wound in his
side at the time of the difficulty from j v
a recent operation for appendicitis j p
and had been out of the hospital only > n
a short time when he shot Peay. p

RUSSIAN FAMINE
UNDER CONTROL
Washington, April 2').?The African
Relief Administration now has
tussian famine under control ;ri all
he accessible districts, former Govrnor
Godrich of Indiana declared toav
after conferring with President
larding and Secretary Hoover upon
is recent investigation of conditions
a Russia.
Mortality among children has 'oecn
educed to normal, he reported, and
eaths from acute starvation among
dults are rapidly diminishing, while
he morale of the people in the famrie
districts has shown an extraordiary
change for the better.
Control of t^ie Russian famine unil
the next harvest, Governor Goodich
asserted, was purely a question
f railway transportation, the "de;enerated
administration and equip-%
lent of the railways" giving no cerainty
as to the continued movement
f supplies. He declared there were
nough supplies on the way to Rusia
or stored in ports to control the
ituation until harvest if they could
e deliveied to the famine regions,
ut added that congestion at junction
ioints, where as many as 50 trains
ave been stalled for weeks, threatned
the continued movements from
he ports.
The former governor said there
.'as every indication that the seed
rovided by the American Relief Adninistration
would be sufficient to
irovide for the next harvest. He
poke in glowing terms of the work
f the American staff in the famine
istricts and declared the members
ad organized thousands of commitees
in the various communities to a
igh point of efficiency.
"The gratitude of the Russian peole
towards America is unbounded,"
Jr. Goodrich said. "The word *Ara,'
