(JOT POSSIBLE
WITH RUSSIA
Communistic Government is
Too Greatly at Variance
With General Order in
Europe for Pact Now.
EUROPEAN TRUCE IS
DEVOUTLY DESIRED
French Resent Accusations
That They Tried to
Wreck Conference
GENOA. Mir 12. (By The
Associated Press) So gravely at
variance are Russia's communism
and the order of things obtaining
throughout the rest of Europe
that a general, immediate agree
ment with Russia-appears tonight
improbable.
This conriction is deeply disap
pointing to those who expected
big end quick results at Genoa.
but the sentiment is tempered by
tbe beliet that the creation ot one
or more commissions to pursue an
exhaustive study of the Russian
problems will prove efficacious in
finding a means to reconstruct
Russia, and bring her back Into
the European family.
. Truce Held Necessary
Furthermore, Premier Lloyd
George and the Italian leaders are
convinced, that the signing of an
European truce as a preliminary
to a general non-aggression pact
will go- a Ibng way. towards tran-
qullizing Europe.
Hopes? of eventually accom
plishing something genuinely con
structive for Russia were increas
ed today by an announcement
frost the French delegation that
France favors the appointment ot
a commission for Investigation of
question like credits., debts and
the treatment Of foreign prirate
property and approves also a gen
eral 'truce, provided it is under
stood that, while the commissions
are engaged In : their labors the
powers will not. follow In. the foot
steps, of Germany and make sep
arate treaties with Russia.
French Resent. Charges
The -French resent accusations
that they tried to wreck the con
ference; they assert that the pres
ent situation Jusifles their views
that the Russian, problem has not
been sufficiently studied and that
something more should have been
done to approximate the views of
the Russians with the representa
tives of non-communist states, be
fore hoping to reach a general
sweeping accord at Genoa.
In other words, they believe the
Russian problem through Investi
gation by a commission which will
probably visit Russia, is being at
tacked now in a proper and-logi-
can manner and they approve the
contemplated procedure.

TO ATTEND SHOW
Governor Seeks to Bring
Detachment to Portland
Rose Festival
Governor Olcott has addressed
letter to Secretary of - State
Hughes at Washington,, making a
request through his office that a
detachment of the Royal Canadi
an mounted police participate In
the. Portland . Rose' festival in
June. ; Also the governor has sent
an invitation to the assistant com
missioner in charge of ' the mount
ed police.
"I am advised," said, the, gov
ernor in his letter to Secretary
Hughes, "that it is necessary tor
the governor of the state to make
formal request of this nature
through your office so as to indi
cate that this state will grant
permission for the. detachment to
enter its borders.. I am writing
this, letter in the nature of . such
request so you may be advised
that not only will this office per-

Recital by Miss Mary Schultz Is
Relight to Crowd That Completely
Fills Grand
Salem's violinist, Mary Schultz,
enjoyed the recital at the Grand
theater, last night.
For while Miss Schultz herself
was the artist whose work was
proof to Salem friends that she
was master of her Instrument,
there was every ' indication that
the performer enjoyed meeting
old acquaintances again.
.Several years have passed since
Mary Schultx has played for a
Salem audience. Those years,
spent - in eastern conservatories
and studios, have not been' lost.
"There is a wonderf? Improve
ment of technique.' said William
WUaC8 Graham, last night. Mr.
Graham, whose studios are in
Portland, was. In the audience last
night,,, to, aid In welcoming his
former, student.
"There is a very promising fu
ture for Miss Schultz," observed
Mr. Oraham. "Part of that fu
ture is hers at the present time
for by her industry and ambition
shehas acquired a technique of
unusual warmth and depth. Of
course there axe years of study
ahead as with all artists."
J. Hutchison of Portland
shared with , Miss Schultz much
ot the-continued applause, for as
ao accompanist he provided the
background of piano, interpreta
tion which means so much to the
performer.'

FRIDAY'S SUN
REAL FORTUNE
FOR GROWERS
Day Best of Season for Pol-
lenization of Fruit Trees,
Declares Representative
of Association.
FRESH SOFT FRUIT IS
WITHDRAWN FROM SALE
General Slump in Loganber
ry Prospect Given as
Reason for Action
"Today's sunshine is worth
$100,000 to Marion county," is
tbe statement mads Friday by
Earl Pearcy of the Oregon Grow
ers Cooperative association.
"We have had so little favor
able weather for pollenizatlon of
the fruit trees that this one day
has a value almost beyond fair
computation. The conditions
were almost perfect for polleniz
ing, and the acres of blossoms
that are today out in full, will
nave their ideal start for fruit
production." '
Iogan Under Normal
The perfect weather, however,
will not restore ideal conditions
in all the fruit industry. It is'i
estimated that the loganberry
crop of the valley is not going to
be much it any more than one
half the average,, yearly produc
tion. Last year the average, new
and old. good and bad, was about
two and a quarter tons to the
acre. Ed Biehn, field agent for
the Oregon Growers, in an ex
haustive tour of the valley with
in the past few days, covering all
the territory from Newburg, Hub
bard, Woodburn and around Sa
lem, ' has reached the conclusion
that if the average yield goes as
high as. one and a quarter tons
to the acre it will do well.
Trained Vines Suffer
The shortage seems to come
mostly from the vines that were
trained up early in the fall, and
that froze back during the win
ter. No serious insect pest seems
i1? menaced the industry
"Shere are some better fields in
the valley. HThe Carl Aspinwall
field near Brooks, is estimated to
be good for two and a half tons
to the acre, even in this disas
trous season. But this yeild it
self Is a conditional, failure, tor
last year the Aspinwall vines pro
duced five and a quarter tons to
the acre.

and a wonderful sympathy," some
of the nice things the musically
informed members of the audi
ence said of Mr. Hutchison. Salem
should hear him again.
f
The numbers of the program
were all well received, although
an encore. "Tambourine" by Gos-
ser, won so many friends with Its
Jolly little melody that Miss
Schultz. was obliged, to play it
through a second time.
The first encore at the conclu
sion of the third section of the
program was "Songs My Mother
Taught Me," by Dvorak. The last
encore following the final number
"Polonaise" was "A Lullaby" by
Max Reger.
Salem and "out-of-town friends
ot Miss Schultz were 'present in
large numbers and the entire
seating capacity of the Grand
theater was booked out. It is
hoped that Miss Schultz will be
prevailed upon to give another
concert in the near future.
The stage" last night was plain
ly set except for a large bouquet
of Doronicums which gave empha
sis to the Baldwin piano. During
intervals between number .many
beautiful bouquets were presented
to Mary. .

Girls Need-Aid

ot the conference committee on
delinquency brought out state
ments that delinquency is de
creasing among boys of the state,
but increasing among girls, ac
cording to Mrs. Carrie H. Chap-
pel, of Wenatchee.
Speakers attributed the con
trast to the Influence of Boy
Scouts, business men's "brother
hood" organizations and other as
sociations among boys and their
comparative absence and failure
of parental influence among girls
Frank E. Burleson, Seattle com
munity j fund and representative
of other cities spoke this evening

May 12. The hearing of testi
case closed with a sensation
by James A. Stillman, New
lawyers had paid $15,000 to
The letters, replete with terms
of endearment and such expres
sions as "I love every pore of your
skin," and "when can we get
married," were accepted in evi
dence after Mrs. Stillman had de
nied ever having written them.
Haadnrrfting Denied
She swore the handwTitfng was
not her own, but Harriet Hibbard,
housekeeper for Mrs. Sttlman,
looked at-them and then said that
to the best of her recollection the
handwriting was Mrs. Stillman's.
Beauvais demanded 126,000 for
he letters, Leigh testified, but af
ter several days of negotiations
he' accepted $15,000. He de
scribed a . dramatic conference
with the guide and Shean and
said - he, promised Beauvais that
he would say the letters were
among those stolen some time ago
when a packet ept by the. guide
was. rifled.
"Yen lied to Beauvais then."
asked one of Mrs. Stillman's law
yers.
"Yes," said Leigh. "I would
have told any lie to get letters
from & man ot the character of
Beauvais."
The letters were considered by
Mr. Stuiman s lawyers, , it . was
learned as among the strongest
evidence they had addded to prove
their contention that Guy Still
man is Illegitimate and tp cinch
their allegation that Mrs. Still
man was unfaithful to her hus
band in herniations with the In
dian.
Woman Unruffled
But Mrs. Stillman seemed un
ruffled tonight when with her
oldest boy, "Bud" and Fowler
McCormick, son of Chicago bar
Tester manufacturer, she departed
by automobile for New York. She
referred to the letters as "four
worthless scraps of paper,"
T have rested my case," she
said. "I am content to rest it
with the testimony of a gentle
man who stands or who did stand
at the head of finance of the
greatest bank in the greatest city
iu the world. And he fought with
gold. The testimony of his own
witness as he closed his case was
that he paid 1 15,0 00 for four
worthless scraps of paper. I have
nothing further to say. I am
content to await the verdict."
One of the letters said to have
been bought from Beauvais read
"iffear Darling:
"Tho wedding is over and it is

just had to write you a letter.
