Drm.lN. April 13. tlly the Asso

the Irish people at a free election can
decide the dispute between the free
staters and republicans was hoped for
at I he conference of leaders of oppos
ing f .rtions and others interested in
Kaee, called-for today. "
It was reccgnlied that the Isaue be

drawn to admit of a political accom
modation hut efforts will be made to
reach such an understanding as will
discourage, further disorders.
Thi'ue Invited to the conference
ure: Arthur Griffith aud Michael

Charles Burgess for the republicans;
Archbishop Pyrne of Dublin and
Stephen O'.Mura, lord mayor of Llin-

Uird Mayor O'Neill of Dublin, who
called the meeting was expected to
act as chairman.
Mr. DeValera has opposed an elec
tion in the existing register which he
contends would exclude many young
men and women who have reached
voting age since it was compiled and
Mr. Griffith has been against a new
register on the ground that its prepa
ration would delay the elections,
which he hud planned for June.
Those seeking to bring about an
adjustment believe an agreement can
be reached whereby the elections
could be held In August under a new
register and thus avoid any Interfer
ence at tbe polls by the dissedent sec
tion of the Irish republican army
which upholds Mr.' DeValera'a views.

PARIS. April 13. By Associated

ers of relief wagons in Russia have
been killed in the streets by tbe fam
ished populace who seized the horses
for food, according to reports received
today by American relief organization
in Paris from tbe Ufa. Rashker and
Tohyliabul famine districts. Two dri
vers for the American relief adminis
tration were killed this week, the re
ports said.
Several other employes of the relief
administration, fearing for their lives,
hare quit their posts, the reports
added. The danger has become so
great that it is no longer safe to ven
ture into the streets. People are being
killed every day, it was said and the
natives maddened from starvation
strip the clothes from their victims.
The reports said the Americans
were feeding 150.000 sufferers In the
Ufa district but that the death rate
was continuing unabated. Cholera,
smallpox, typhus and dysentery are
raging and the hospitals are destitute
of supplies and extremely short of
helers. Bitter cold and the complete
absenco of fuel are adding to the suf
ferings. The hospitals are choked with pa
tients suffering from serious intestin
al disorders, due to the eating; of poi
sonous roots in their desperate Impov

were eating bark, roots, hides, dogs,
cats and even Thuman flesh.
