TURK TO LEAVE, HIS
VIEWS UNCHANGED
A. Rustem Bey. Third Diplomat
to Incur Displeasure of
United States.
WILSON DEMANDS SILENCE
t . GERMAN CROWN PRINC3 REVIEWS BOY SCOUTS.
L.
V
President Said to Be Determined Not
to Receive Diplomats Whose
Comments Are Obnoxious
to United States.
WASHINGTON, . Sept. 24. A. Rustem
Bey today Informed President Wilson
that he had not changed the views he
expressed recently In an interview. He
eald he had applied to his government
for a leave of absence, which he did
not doubt would be granted, and would
leave the United States within ten days.
The objectionable Interview was one
In which A. Rustem Bey had said that
the eending of American warships to
Turkey In connection with the report
of uprisings against Christians would
lead to a serious situation. At the same
time he said that while massacres had
previously occurred in Turkey, they
were the same acts as any people
might commit under provocation. He
cited the lynchlngs of colored persons
and the "water cures' In the Philip
pines as illustrations, reminding the
American people of those Incidents,
Three Diplomats Incur Displeasure.
At least three diplomats have In
curred, the displeasure of President
"Wilson, it is known. President WU
eon today mentioned no names, how
ever, and told inquiring nwspapermen
that he would make no comment, pre
Jerring that the discussion be conducted
through the regular channels of the
State Department
The Interviews that " In particular
liave givon offense are the one by the
Turkish Ambassador, another by Sir
Lionel Carden, the British Minister to
Mexico, and a third attributed to Baron
von Schoen, ex-secretary of the Ger
man embassy at Tokio, but formally
repudiated by him.
Whether other interviews have been
taken . up officially has not been di
vulged. An explanation of the remarks of Sir
Lionel Carden, who criticised Presi
dent Wilson's Mexican policy, is ex
pected to be forwarded by- the British
Koreign Office as soon as the Minister,
who is en route to England, reaches
there.
Von Schoen Calls In Person.
Baron von Schoen called on Acting
Secretary Lansing, of the State Depart
ment, and personally repudiated an in
terview in which he was represented
as saying that the Japanese hated the
American people and that war between
the two countries was inevitable. The
explanation of the German secretary
was accepted by Mr. Lansing.
The deduction which official Wash
ington has drawn from these occur
rences is that President Wilson looks
with emphatic disfavor on the circu
lation of propaganda by the diplomatic
representatives of any of the belliger
ents or other governments if that prop
aganda is calculated to play upon the
patriotism" or feeling of the American
people in a way that might involve the
neutrality of tne United States.

Department of Agriculture Sending
Representative to Oregon.
I
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, Sept. 24. (Special.)
Oregon farmers will have the help of
a farm efficiency expert within the
near future. This announcement was
made today by Director Hetzel, of the
extension service, who is in receipt of
a letter from the Department of Agri
culture stating that a representative
will be in Oregon October 1 to com
plete arrangements for this work.
The purpose of the work is to make
a. thorough survey of the farms of dif
ferent communities in the state in or
der to determine what methods are ef
fective and what methods represent a
waste of effort and capital. A com
parison between Individual farms and
the average of all farms will show the
pood and bad methods of agricultural
production in each of the several com
munities and on each of the farms
concerned.
BOYS TO VISIT STATE FAIR

EXPLICIT CHARGES RULE
"U'or Good of Service" No Longer to
Be Cover for Dismissals.
"For the good of the service" no
longer will do as a blanket charge
against a city employe whom an offi
cial wishes to dismiss from the service.
The Municipal . Civil Service Board,
upon motion of Commissioner John F.
Logan, yesterday adopted a rule that
hereafter all charges against an em
ploye must be included in those filed
with the Board. No charges other than
those' on the official complaint will be
considered when the employe's case
goes before the Civil Service Board on
appeal.
The practice up to this time has been
for officials to dismiss employes and
group all charges against him in the
one statement, "for the good of the
service." . .

Wealthy Do Jfot Respond, to Appeal
for Contributions and 10 0,000
Refugees, 82,000 Families,
60,000 Idle on Hand.
VIENNA, via Paris, Sept. 24. A
graphic picture of conditions of life
in Vienna is revealed in the official
statement of the Mayor of Vienna that
his city is supporting the families of
82,000 reservists at a daily cost of $50,
000, and in addition is endeavoring to
provide for 100,000 unemployed and
another. 100,000 fugitives from Gallcia
and the crown land of Bukowlna. For
the fugitives the city already has ex
pended $1,000,000.
According to the Mayor's statement
positions have been given 40,000 un
employed on the public works, but the
remaining 60,000 are helpless. The
Mayor complains that there has been
an inadequate response to his appeals
for the various war relief funds, and
says many wealthy persons have with
held subscriptions upon the plea that
they did not know which fund to as
sist.
The first official report of the Aus
trian Red Cross shows that the total
contributions to Its fund amounted to
only $840,000. The report says that
the rich Industrial classes for the most
part subscribed liberally, but expresses
disappointment at the small contribu
tions of many enormously wealthy aris
tocratlc land owners. The middle and
lower classes, the report shows, have
shown themselves more generous.
Polish newspapers say that when oc
cupying Lemberg, the Russians showed
the utmost consideration for the pop
ulation. They paid cash for all sup
plies taken, placed sentries to guard
the public buildings and left only
enough troops behind to maintain or
der. Nearly half the population fled
the city, but the remainder are living
in perfect quiet and security, accord
ing to the newspapers.'

HAVANA. Sept. 24. The Ward line
steamer Esperanza arrived here today
from Vera Cruz with Mexican refugees
and other passengers on board. Cap
tain Curtis, of the liner, related the
story of the attempt of Mexican police
agents to take 16 of the refugees off
his vessel at Progreso, and told how
the attempt was frustrated by the
American scout cruiser Salem.
On reaching Progreso last Monday,
Captain Curtis said, the Esperanza was
boarded by three Mexican police agents,
who demanded the surrender of the
civil and military officials who had
served under President Huerta. Cap
tain Curtis refused to comply, and after
quickly landing his passengers destined
for Progreso. put to sea with his wire
less operator calling for the assistance
of an American warship. The Salem,

agents went ashore, complaining of
their detention on board, but making
no further efforts to interfere with the
ship. After discharging and taking

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. Final steps
were taken today by the Federal Re
serve Board to aid the banks of the
United States in raising a $100,000,000
gold pool to meet the Nation's foreign
obligations in cash. Assurances were
received from bankers in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St.
Louis that the major part of the fund
will be subscribed for by them on
pledge of other cities to take a due
proportion.
Following the receipt of this word,
the board sent out to the chief officers
of the Clearing-House associations in
the reserve and central reserve cities
circulars telling of the plan and set
ting forth the amount each city has
been assessed. In accord with the
bankers' recommendations, only $25,-
000,000 of the total Is to be paid down
at present, but the whole amount is to
be pledged.
Among the cities to which the cir
culars were sent were: Cedar Rapids,
Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Dubuque,
Fort Worth, Galveston, Houston, Lin
coln, Los Angeles, Muskogee, Oklahoma
City, Omaha, Portland. Or.. Pueblo,
Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Fran
cisco, Seattle, Sioux City, South Omaha,
Spokane, Tacoma, Topeka, Waco. Tex.
The original plan was for the de
posit of the $25,000,000 in the branch
of the Bank of England in Ottawa, but
the present intention is to keep the
fund in New York and have the com
mittee there conduct the exchange
transactions either direct or through
Ottawa.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. The success
of the $100,000,000 gold fund produced
by leading National banks at the re
serve centers of the country is assured,
according to an announcement made
today by Albert H. Wiggin, chairman
of the Clearing-House Association and
the head of the proposed pool. Mr.
Wiggin has been informed by the Fed
eral Reserve Board that sufficient sub
scriptions to the fund had been re
celved to assure Its successful accom
plishment and has asked the board for
its formal Indorsement of the plan.

Both Countries Hold Burden Is on
Owner to Establish That Sale
Was Xot Made to Evade
Consequence of War.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. Both Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice and Jules Jusserand
the British and French Ambassadors,
discussed with State Department offi
cials today the treatment of vessels
wnich change their registry under re
cently enacted laws of this country.
The position of the British govern
ment is that each case will be treated
separately, the duty devolving on the
owner to prove that the transfer from
a flag of a belligerent to American
registry is bona fide. Neutral vessels
flying the American flag or any other,
are subject to capture and investiga
tion by a prize court if suspected o
carrying a contraband cargo; under
the same theory a vessel whose change
of registry is believed not to be bona
fide must establish the validity of its
transfer.
Alexandria Case Seta Precedent.
More than a score of vessels hav
changed from foreign to American reg
istry in Various ports, and the British
government, it is understood, will re
gard It as prima facie evidence of their
bona fide character if the ownership
continues in the hands of the Ameri
cans.
The case of the Alexandria, which
was transferred at San Francisco by a
German company, the Cosmos line, to
an American corporation, will be a sub
ject for determination at a prize court,
should the vessel be captured. State
Department officials say no such case
has as yet arisen and that they will
await the trial in a prize court as a
precedent.
French Viewpoint Similar.
It is understood that the French
point of view is similar to that o
Great Britain. Both countries believe
mat me ouraen oi proof is on the
American owner of the vessel aTnd base
their position on article 66 of the Dec
laratlon of London, which says:
"The transfer of an enemy's vessel
to a neutral flag, effected after the
outbreak of hostilities, is void unless
it is proved that such transfer was no
made in order to evade the conse
quences to which an enemy's vessel as
such is exposed."
