Deputy Sheriffs D. W. White, and Robert Hacker, uienibers of the party, reported that " moonshiiuiig is rampant in the Mill Creek section." They said the (tmbushers who attacked them were armed with high powered rides and large calibre pistols. A conspiracy among the Mill t reek residents to thwart the law has existed for several months, they declared. Those who are in the conspiracy have agreed to prevent arrests of mbers bv force of arms and, if ii.-ces.snry, to kill offieers who might attempt to make -arrests, the officers said. The plotters have agreed among taem sclves that they will kill any who op pose their illegal practices, according to th etwo deputy sheriffs. Judge Johnson gave instructions when he issued the wholesale warrants that ever' dwelling and outhouse in I he neighborhood of Mill Creek be si-arched and all high-powered rifles and large calibretf pistols be taken into court. miss knuxItriaTfor MURDER OF MRS.

The French delegation, says the mes sage, has declared it will press for a forty eight hours ultimatum to Rus sia, or else break from the confer ence altogether. Premier Poincare's speech created great consternation in conference circles, it is added. GENOA, April 25. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Soviet Rus sia, declared to The Associated Press today that allied resistance to the Russian principle of nationalisation was blocking the economic confer ence.
