The committee on tickets makes the announcement that the price of general admission will be fifty cents. rirty cents extra will be charged for reserved seats, tho total charge for admission ticket and reserved seat being one dollar, Instead of (1.50, as some patrons seem to have understood. No specific seats are being assigned in the reserved seat section, the res ervation merely calling for a par ticular section.

(By The As sociated Press.) Discontent over al leged favored treatment of political prisoners is believed to have been at the bo$tom of yesterday's convict revolt in the Jail here, when a break for the gates was made by about 300 of the men,, several of whom were killed when fired upon by the guards. A few of the prisoners succeeded in escaping over the walls. The discontent came to a head when one of the wardens, it la al leged, struck a Mohammedan pris oner for insubordination. The other convicts refused to attehd meals and ultimately armed themselves with sticks and sledge hammers and at tacked the warders. One crowd at temped to rush the gates, while others set fire to the jute sheds and oil tanks. The warders opened fire. buW the mutineers were not com pletely subdued and dispersed until the arrival of the military. Several of the prisoners and some of the warders were injured, but . Genoa, April 27. (By The Asso ciated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd George today invited Foreign Min ister Schanzer, of Italy; Vice Pre mier Barthou. of France, and For elgn Minister Jaspur, of Belgium, to meet him at the Villa de Albertis to reacfl an understanding over tho doc ument to bo addressed to the Rus sians in reply to the Russian coun ter proposals. This document will contain not only what Is asked of tho Russians, but also what tho allies are ready to offer them. The sub-commission on Russian affairs will meet Friday to discuss this document and approve it In its final form. "It Is no ultimatum that will be addressed to Russia," allied spokes men declared today. The delegations of both the inviting and the neutral nations were very anxious to ex plain tbls point, declaring nothing of an ultimatum nature was in con templation. The idea of drawing up a provis ion that all Europe was ready to as sist Russia, so not. only the Russians but' tlie entire' world might Judge of it, was circulating quite freely among the delegates this morning. The representatives of the big and little ententes expect to have before them today the statement to be pre sented to the Russian delegates to their counter propositions for the economic prepositional for tho eco nomic restoration of Russia, which the allies .found unacceptable. This statement Is being drawn up by England, France and Belgium and Italy, who are the heaviest cred itors. In their answer to the allies the Russians appear to have made no reference whatever to the war debts which the allies said they were ready to "sdale down." In tho English text of the allies' proposals the phrasing was: "In view of the serious economic conditions In Russia, tho creditor governments nro prepared to write down their war debts owing by Russia to them." Tho Russians np parently Interpreted fhe words "write down" to mean I'writo off" In otjer words, complete) cancella tion. J ney inpreiore lK'iurrn inu war debts in their rejoinder. What the attitude of the powers will be on this question has not been made clear. i Meanwhile the conference has de veloped plainly into one of the most Important political world conclaves In history by reason of tho momen touB problems whirh hnve come to the surface since its inauguration. The Russo-German treaty, which many accept as the forerunner or a great alliance between the formerly mlrehty nations, have, been followed by other political developments, such as the proposed summoning of the Versailles treaty signatories to dis cuss the measures to be adopted If Germany does not meet her war rep arations obligations. A further note of gravity was ad ded to the situation by Trlmo Min ister Lloyd George, of Great Brit ain, in his address last night to the American and British press corres pondents In which he uttered a warning that a new political crisis was facing Europe.

Knox, Baltimore nurse, charged with the murder of Mrs. Margaret 1 Eastlake, at Co lonial Beach, got under way today after Judge Chinn had ordered all women spectators to leave tho court room. Great crowds of country folk filled the court room and others jostled for admission. In his opening audioes to the Jury, Commonwealth's Attorney Mayo said the state would prove that the de fendant, embittered at the shabby treatment shown her by Eastlake, the naval potty officer who was acquited of his wife's murder, had deliberately gone to Colonial Beach with "murder In her heart, had luld in waiting thrunut the night and when opportunity presented Iteelf had entered the Knstlake home and with a hatchet, brought for the pur- poso from Ocean (ay, Alii., Hud hacked her victim to death."

Mali said he had found a skeleton key in the nurse's possession, which would open the kitchen door of the F.astiakc home and the doors of Miss Knox's room at the hotel, where she spent the night previous tn the murder. The rest of his testimony was a reiteration of his testimony at East lake's trial. tious prostrnto, hardly knowing which way lo turn for restoration. I cannot help but believe Hint some thing of the spirit with which Grant welcomed victory, something of his eagerness to return lo peaceful ways, would havo speeded tho rosto ration and hastened the return tn prosperity nnd happiness without which there ran be no abiding peace." Mr. Harding paid tribute to Grant as "the military hero of the re public; a commanding figure in the military history of tho world; the surpassing example of magnanimity or nil times; tho most striking ex ampin of tho possibilities In Amer lean life, the confident nnd relent less commander ,in war, modest nnd sympathetic petitioner for peace aft er victory." "W know of his cherlshment nf peace, Intensified by his Intimate knowledge of the horrors of war. the President said. "I can well be lieve he would approve of all the republic has so recently don In Joining other nations In lifting the burdens or armament and promoting understandings which make war less likely. J know he would have approved because we surrendered no Independence: we give up none of nationality for which he fought, but we have furthered the assur ances of peace, which was tho su preme yearning of his great brave heart." Declaring at Iho outset that he had' pondered over the Hltrlbuteof tho character of Grant, the Presi dent said the union li-adr "looms majestically In tho blend of them Ills fame Is secure."
