French Stand Endorsed Paris, May 4 (By A. P.) The allied reparations commission, it wa officially announced this evening, has (ailed to find that the Rapallo tieaty between Germany and Rut ia was violation of the treaty of , Versailles. Paris, May 4. (By A. P.)-Three arrests have been made and numer ous others were momentarily expect ed this afternoon, in what the French police claim to be a vast organisation for espionage of French arsenals for the benefit of the Russian soviet government. . Genoa. May 4. (By A. P.) The soviet representatives here announced today that the terms of the allied note to Russia had been telegraphed ' to Moscow, says the Exchange Tele graph, which adds: - "It is stated that possibly Premier Lenine will accept, demanding simultaneously full recognition." Foreign Minister Tchitclierin of soviet Ku.'sia said today the Rus sian reply to the allied memorandum would be delivered in a couple of days. The soviet delegates said the fi nancial help offered by the allied memorandum was disappoiting and inadequate. 1 v Mad Divide Fields. They admitted, says the Exchange Telegraph correspondent, that they were considering various offers for oil concessions, which, they said, constituted for Russia a basis of fu ture international policy and they ' were studying a plan to divide the Baku and Gronzy fields into four or five zones, one of which the Soviets would operate, granting con cessions on the others to rival groups such as the American, Britis.'i, Bel gian and French. This, however, the soviet delegates said, would be con ditional upon de juer recognition and adequate financial help. U ca n A .

Endorse Poincare Policies. Paris, May 4. (By A. P.) The French cabinet this afternoon ap proved the text of the proposed non aggression pact, under consideration at Genoa, with the reservation that it must not be interpreted as withdrawing- from France any rights she has under treaties. Premier Poincare's 'policy toward Germany was endorsed at a semi official meeting of the members of fh t.natAri.1 fnriffn relations - com mittee today. M. Doumergue, the committee president, told his colleagues the premier assured him that, if the oc premier had assured him that if the occupation of the Ruhr region of Ger many became necessary he could ac complish it without calling up fur ther troops. '" v i , The senators heard this with mani fest satisfaction, and almost unani mously pronounced in favor of a policy of firmness in the event of Germany defaulting on May 31, re gardless of the attitude taken by tl:e other allies. ' ' Sources of Objection. Genoa. May 4.-(By A. P.) Soviet : Russia's delegates are ex pected to accept in general the rer. construction program framed by the powers, although interposing sugges tions regarding its details. The main sources of objection by the Russians are the failure to include recognition of the soviet government and the much- discussed article- regarding restoration of private property owned by foreigners in Russia, or the com " nensation of the owners. Other points of issue likely to be raised concern the suppression of revolutionary propaganda . by : the bolsheviki, and the absence of any offer of direct government loans-to Russia. No Immediate Recognition. The Frenchmen express the opin ion that, whatever the Russians do about the allies' memorandum, there will be no immediate recognition of the soviet. On the other hand, Mr Lloyd George say that a non-aggression pact, to be effective, must include Kussia. ana us inclusion must he nreceded bv an arrange ment with the powers concerning its reconstruction. vindications are that the conference will mark time for several days, while the final scenes are being pre oared by the chief actors.

Br the Aiaweiftted PrM. Dublin, May 4. The peace confer ence between the rival (factions in Ireland met today and decided upon a truce between the rival army forces' beginning at 4 today and last ing until the same time next Mon day. ; The conference was a most fend ly one and the fac that it was pro longed is taken here to point to the arrangement of a plan for unity which the Dail Eireann can accept tomor row. If any such agreement is reach ed, it is "believed to mean an improve ment in the position of Eamon de Valera and his followers who would be given a chance to share in the portfolios of the dail cabinet. Moreover, De Valera s persistent protest against June elections would be met, tor the new parliament to debate the constitution would be elected without contests, labor being given a due share in the new body. I his, instead of displacing the dail in Tune, would give it a new lease of life during the transition period, which, however, must end before next December, since the Anglo-Irish peace treaty prescribes that free state elections shall be held within 12 months of the signature of the treaty. lhese concessions ' already have been virtually secured to De Valera by document agreed -to by Michael Collins and Richard Mulcahy as the basis for peace. The important point of difference concerns the area of the new parliament s jurisdiction and raises the whole partition question. The rival military chiefs had no difficulty in ' arranging the truce which suspends hostilities, including acts of aggression against person or property, and virtually stops recruit ing by either force. ..'

Because .of i the unusual and al most unprecedented number of crim inal cases, District Judge Leslie said yesterday that following a confer ence with County Attorney A. V.

Owing, to the volume of civil business with which the docket has been encumbered it has been im possible to dispose of criminal cases a rapidly as they -shoulrt-have been disposed of," said Judge i-eslie, "but the court is going to see that trials are speeded up." - Says Situation Is Serious. . To remedy the situation, which he considered serious. Judge Leslie said, four judges, of the district court, if necessary, would devote their entire time to criminal cases during June, and, if conditions de mand, another jury would be called in August for the trial of criminal cases only. " "Once the criminal cases pending are disposed . of, habitual criminals will be given to understand that hereafter, upon being apprehended, they will be promptly and vigor ously prosecuted and sentenced," said Judge Leslie." " ' "I am firm in . the' belief that it will rid the community of a class of very undesirable citizens and danger ous criminals. Justice delayed is justice denied very frequently and the further removed trials are from the date of , the commission of the crime, the less likelihood, there, is of conviction." . . ' . ',' ' . .

Shortly after he made hit declara tion in a formal statement. Senator Caraway, democrat. Arkana. who has been leading the dicu$Mon, re newed his accusations, declaring de Spite denials made by Mr. Datigh erty's friend since the matter was brought up, Mr. Daughrrty, at the time of More's release, "took credit'' for obtaining the executive clem ency. The senator read an interview puhlinhcd in a Columbus newspaper at the time of Morse's pardon, in which Mr. Duirgherty, then practic ing law iit Ohio, was quoted as- hav ing said he sought the release of th shipbuilder so that the financial af fairs of a steamship company in which the imprisoned man was in terested could, be straightened out. Attacks Expected. . "I Will never discuss politics," said Mr. Daugherty in his state ment, "but there is little of interest appearing in the newspapers regard-' ing the discussions in the senate and elsewhere, which constitutes an at tack upon the administration and naturally an attack unon the Depart ment of Justice. This may be ex pected from ime to time. "The Morse case of years ago was fully discussed in the newspapers when I was a candidate for United States senator in Ohio. At that time President Taft and Mr. Wickersham wrote ' signed letters which imme diately stopped discussion and con clusively answered all charges that were made or that ever would be made for any ' purpose whatsoever. These two letters are in my files and if there is occasion for it they will be republished. i "The real people behind thU vnve--ment, aside from the partisans inter ested, have hot ; yet shown their hands or their heads.

"No activities of the Department of Justice will be inspired or con ducted to help any political party. We are not much interested in years ago; this is a thing of the past and was entirely cleared up. What we are now interested in is the Morse case, and others. .
