Held That Same Difficulties

d
Washington, D. C. The Btate de
partinetit made public the text of S
message to Ambassador Child a'
Genoa declining the invitation to pa:
ticipate in the new European economic
conference at The Hague.
"This government," the American
communication said, "is unable to bob
elude that it can helpfully participate
in the meeting at The Hague, as this
would appear to be the continuance
under a different nomenclative of the
Genoa conference and destined to en
counter the same difficulties if the
attitude disclosed in the Russian mem
orandum of May 11 remains un
changed." The state department's communica
tion said the American govern! n
"has always been ready" to join ptbi
governments in an inquiry by ejtP
into the economic situation in i isla
and the necessary remedy. Sue.li an
inquiry, it was added, could deal as
propiiately "with the economic P?
requisite" for restoration of K i ...
production, without which a sound ba
sis for credits would be lacking.
In conclusion the American com
munication renewed the of. or to .. .
serious attention to any "propc 18
issuing from a Genoa conference i r
any later conference," but added thai
the suggestions for the meeting at
The Hague, in view of the Rum .
memorandum of May 11, lacked "th
definiteness which, would make possi
ble the concurrence of this govern
ment in the proposed plan."
The school board met at its rei
j monthly session on Saturday,
i ieciion of teachers was poatpon
allow the clerk time to sort out the
I many applications. The question of
installing a radio outfit in the audit
, orium for com tunity use was aken
up and it was thought that it could
be financed without an additional
item in the budget, and the plan will
be presented at the annual meeting
in June. At that time discussion on
manual training and domestic sci n".
will come up. Screen-; were order d

Stewart frustrated a spectai uiai at
tempt by eiglit masked bandits to rol
Chicago, Rock Island .& Pacific train

Tucson.
The body of the slain bandit, whose
hands were encased in rubber gloves,
was recognized by Sheriff Daniels of

habitue. Beside the body was found
a sack of dynamite with which the
bandits evidently intended to bl :w
Btrong boxes in the mail and baggage
cars.
The robbprs stopped the train by
placing torpedoes on the rails. They
planned to blow open the express safe,
said to contain valuable shipments of
money, when Stewart opeird tire. 1
