THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 V ''I .- ' 5 '"1 PROBLEM OF TURKEY CAUSE OF ANXIETY Allies Influenced by Indian and Moslem Opinions. ARABS MAY GIVE TROUBLE Careful Watch Is Being Kept on Outcome of Syrian Con gress at Damascus. LONDON. March 12. Earl Curzon's speech on the Turkish problem, mads in the house of lords yesterday, and other official and unofficial state ments on the subject are generally regarded as showing that the near east tangle is quite serious ana is causing the authorities some anxiety an anxiety increased by complica tions threatened in connection with Syria and Mesopotamia. The shadow of Indian and Moslem opinion dark ens the problem, and, it is believed, influences the counsels of the allies more than is always immediately ap parent. The suggestion that the employ ment of force against the Turks might excite general hostility in the Musselman world is regarded as one that cannot safely be ignored. In some quarters the feeling prevails that there is danger if the Turks are pressed they may immediately be joined by the Arabs. The Italian view that it would be dangerous to employ atralnst the Turks. British Moslem and other Moslem troops in the serv ice of the allies, is evidently based on these fears. Careful watch Is being kept here on the outcome of the Syrian con press at Damascus, and it is under stood any decision or proposal by the peace conference regarding Syria would be purely tentative. Among the day's reports was one that France had been given a man date over Cilicia, but this was un confirmed. Great Britain Is also regarded ruled cut as a mandatory, and the league of nations is looked to as the only hope for protecting Turkey's non Moslem subjects. Earl Curzon's statement attributing the cause of the Turkish trouble to awaiting action by the United States is not commented upon by some ed itorial writers, but others point out that if a settlement had been made a year ago, when Turkey was mili tarily humbled, the present trouble would not have arisen. Reports are current that bolshevist activities directed against the allies have cropped out in co-operation with the Turkish nationals and in nearer India. It is said that specially trained bolshevist propagandists have installed printing presses in Afghan istan, where pamphlets, written in the vernacular, with a view to under mining British authority in India and stirring up trouble on the Afghan istan' border, are beln produced. same nation and generation one man who thought In brilliantly humorouB music exactly what the other man thought in brilliantly humorous verse. The high school opera association gave the piece a musicianly and thor oughly artistic valuation. The chorus, augmented from the ranks of the glee clubs, added point and volume and luster to the idea, of the verses and the beauty of the music. An elaborate scenic Investiture and picturesque costuming preserved the tradition of the opera, and pains taking fidelity to the score and words enhanced the production.. The prin cipals were selected for individual ability to portray the roles for which they were cast, and both good acting and exceptional singing constituted the standard by which the audience enthusiastically judged. The role of Josephine was sung beautifully by Edith Snyder, Esther Bard was a charming little Butter cup. Laurence Snyder was the dash ing Captain Corcoran and Paul An derson played and sang admirably the familiar role of Ralph Rackstraw. Other principals In the support in cluded Lorine Gingrich, Everett Ball, William Foulsen, Donald Lockwood and Ted Ober. The training and production was the work of Robert Walsh and re flects credit on his teaching and in bringing out individual talents.

Press In New Orleans So Great That 25 Policemen Arc Xeeded to Preserve Order. NEW ORLEANS, La., March 12. Led by a score of crippled and ailing men and women, hundreds ofjersons crowded the Mississiippi river levee tonight trying to reach the ram shackle houseboat of John Cudney, a kindling peddler, known as "Brother Isaiah," from reputed cures by the laying on of hands. The press was so great that 25 po licemen were assigned to preserve order and on a rumor that Cudney was about to appear there was a rush which bore five of the guards into the river. All were rescued. Cudney, a Canadian, 73 years old, has been working as a "healer" for some time and reports yesterday that he had restored sight to the blind started a rush to the "healer," and a number of invalids were taken there on cots. He was forced to work all night, only retiring at dawn when threatened with physical collapse. Many wealthy persons sought treat ment, but all their offers of money were refused. State and municipal authorities re fused to disturb the peddler. Dr. Oscar F. Dowling. president of the state board of health, said no legal action could be taken against the "healer" because he was "accepting no money, prescribing no medicines and violat ing none of the rules of religious practices."

(Spe cial.) George Foutch. local restau rant owner, died last night of an ill ness which began apparently as the result of his having drunk some whisky which contained poison in some form. It is believed the liquor was sold by a bootlegger, and arrests on a murder charge are expected soon. An autopsy is to be made and when the examination is complete the in quest will be held. The whisky which resulted In Foutch's death was obtained about three weeks ago. He was with two companions for a time and the three engaged in a card game which ended In a fistic encounter. None of the men were badly injured but, shortly after, all three became ill. The com panions of Mr.- Foutch recovered within a few days, but the restaurant owner became violently insane and partially paralyzed. For days he was unable to take nourishment, but late ly his physical condition appeared to be improving. He was ordered to be committed to the state asylum, but upon the arrival of the hospital attendants here to get him, he took a sudden relapse and died within a few hours. A bottle of whisky taken from one of the drinkers was ob tained by the police and an analysis made to determine if possible the na ture of the poison. The examination developed in the finding of fusel oils. but no poisonous substance was found, and the physicians and offi cers have been unable to ascertain the nature of the poison taken. Mr. Foutch was 61 years old, a na tive of Kansas City. He came to Rose- burg about four years ago and started a sraall restaurant near the depot. At the time of his death he was the owner of two large restaurants, one near the station and the other in the uptown district. He leaves a widow and stepson and a brother, who re sides in Kansas City. truth together from the superstition, idolatry and ignorance abounding in every direction and mould it into a gem of such priceless worth as the religion which they handed down to their children. God, he contended, does not defy or nullify natural laws as some of the prophets of old asserted, such as Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, Elijah causing the widow's oil cruse ever to be full and her meal bag to renew Its precious contents. These "tales," said Dr. Wise, doubt less were incorporated into the old testament more to satisfy an element among the Jews who craved some thing of that sort, as on all sides strange cults were worshiping heroes. "We have all heard of the Wash ington cherry tree incident," said Dr. Wise. "No one in particular believes it ever happened, yet still we love to think that it did. Many of the tales regarding him and Lincoln are myth ical, yet hone objects to having them in our folk lore." MAN SHOT IN FIGHT AGAINST POLICEMAN Wife Asks Protection for Visit to Home.

"TRUSTY" AGAIN ESCAPES Life Convict Makes Second Depar ture From Federal Prison. LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. March 12. Jack Gideon, serving a life sentence in the federal penitentiary, escaped from the prison farm here Thursday where he was a trusty, prison of ficials announced. He was convicted of robbing a mail train at Moscow, Idaho, tn 1904. Gideon figured in a ' sensational break at the prison in April, 1910, when he and four others boarded a switch engine within the prison walls and at the point of wooden revolvers forced the engineer to drive his en gine through the iron gates of the prison. With one exception the men were recaptured the following day. "H. M. S. Pinafore" Given by Franklin High. Oper I Well Presented by Stn denta In Production at Municipal Auditorium. THAT a fine musical score and brilliant dialogue will never age was evidenced again last night at the municipal auditorium. when the Franklin High School Opera associa tion presented "H. M. S. Pinafore," the third of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas to be given by the school. The two preceding offerings were "The Mikado" and "Pirates of Penzance." As in the instance of the other two productions, this one also played be fore a huge audience and an appre ciative one. The genius of the bril liant Sir Arthur Sullivan is tremen dously potent whether brought out through the medium of professionals or amateurs, and the score of "H. M. S. Pinafore," running the melody gamut from grave to gay and in many passages almost bordering on light grand opera, is always of pre-eminent worth. There is nothing at this late date that can be said about this classic in opera. Every time one hears It the marvel again recurs at a coin cidence that brought together in the pheum headliners in the four-star show which will open at the Heilig tomorrow afternoon for an engage ment of three nights and four mati nees, closing with the matinee next Wednesday. The other headliner is Miss Billie Shaw, renowned danseuse, who is supported by three young men in a spectacular dance drama. Miss Padden in a new vehicle this season Is proving that her mastery of comedy is on the same plane as her interpretation of more serious roles in "The Clod" and "The Eternal Barrier." Her new play, "Betty Be have" is by Tom Barry and reveals the results achieved by a young wom an who endeavors to adjust her friend's marital differences. In her former Orpheum tours Miss Padden established a reputation as being a double drawing card, many patrons attending the theater twice and oftener In the same engagement just to see her. The other features in the new show are Bostock's riding school, a mam moth comedy act with five circus horses and five circus riders show ing how circus riders are made, and Phil Baker, who is billed as "A Bad Boy From a Good Family." McADOO FOR CLEAR FIELD Message Asserts Unpledged Dele gates Is His Working Goal. NEW YORK, March 12. William G. McAdoo telegraphed Coleman C.

Importance of -Engineering Works on Legislative Programme Em phasized at Meeting. With the argument that a large part of the money spent by the legis lature is for engineering work, the Oregon chapter of the American As sociation of Engineers at a meeting in the clubrooms in the Tilford build ing last night decided to support for the legislature one or more engineers, should any be candidates for election With the big road-building pro gramme, the control of the waters of the state and the proposed increase n size of the state college and uni versity before it, the next session of the legislature will need engineers and architects on the floor of the house, argued the association mem bers. A committee from the American As sociation of Engineers, acting with a committee from the American Insti tute of Architects, has drafted an amendment to the Portland building code governing the construction of hangars. By vote of the association this report will be forwarded to Com missioner Barbur of the public works department in response to his request for such action.

The policeman told Mrs. Taylor to leave by the back door, while he de layed the husband in front.

Taylor Is Declared Insane. Taylor continued his attack, but neighbors finally arrived and pulled I him off. He took refuge in his home. where he was said to have firearms. An automobile load of policemen and a doctor from the emergency hospital went to the scene, where they found Taylor walking the floor singing hymns. The police read a subpena to him, telling him that it was a war rant for his arrest. Thereupon he submitted. Early in the evening Taylor chased Dr. Charles B. Zeebuyth from the house when he went to give medical I attention to Mrs. .Taylor. Both Dr. Zeebuyth and the assistant city phy- sician agreed that Taylor was insane. He is said to have been released from the state insane asylum at Salem three years ago. a. - 'r-r?;, w uana t;.a -ar f- MS? "ero Yes! But They Did It!

Real Miracle of Religion Seen in System of Priceless Worth Hand ed Down by Fathers. Mracles recorded in the new testa ment as having been performed by Jesus Christ, such as the feeding of a multitude with a few fish and loaves, raising the dead, healing the sick and curing the blind, walking on the water, etc., are "myth tales" or "folk lore," according to Rabbi Jonah B. Wise of Temple Beth Israel, who spoke last night on "The Religion of Miracles and the Miracles of "Re ligion." The real miracle of religion. Dr. Wise held, is the fact that the Jews, through the dark days of their early career and down through the ages, a small, ' oft-persecuted group, could aLiier ma iiaguicuio ot B reai CHURCH PAPER STAFF OUT Christian Science Editor and Two Assistants Resign.
