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."

ROSEBCRG, Or., March 12. (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."

"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

Importance of -Engineering Works
on Legislative Programme Em

With the argument that a large

Jaittes Taylor Continues Attack on
Bluecoat After Being Wounded.
Neighbors Rescue Officer.
W. A. Florence, policeman,' shot
James Taylor in the neck and in the
hand during an attempt to arrest
him on a charge of insanity near his
home. East Seventy-third and East
Glisan streets, last night. Taylor es
caped after breaking the policeman's
nose .and beating him severely, and
was captured later by a fiquad of
police who invaded the Taylor home.
Mrs. Taylor, who had fled from
her home in fear of her husband early
in the evening, precipitated the trou
ble by asking Patrolman Florence to
escort, her to her house so that she
might obtain clothing for her baby.
Taylor was absent when they reached
the house but returned while Mrs.
Taylor was searching her wardrobe.
Policeman Struck on Chin.
The policeman told Mrs. Taylor to
leave by the back door, while he de
layed the husband in front. Taylor
demanded to see the patrolman's star
and as the latter threw back his coat
to display the badge, struck him vio
lently on the chin. During the fight
that followed, Taylor drove Florence
back against a telephone pole, pinned
him by wrapping one arm around
both the policeman's neck and the
pole, and began striking him in the
face.
The policeman reached for his re
volver. Taylor eaw the movement and
seized the gun barrel. Florence pulled
the trigger, the bullet tore through
the assailant's right hand, breaking
two fingers. Taylor rushed the police- I
man and threw him on his back in
the mud and began pummeling him
again, whereupon the patrolman fired
a second shot, which grazed Taylor's
neck, inflicting a slight flesh wound.
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.
