Attempts to Retake Ineunu
and Eski-Shehr Fail.
HEAVY LOSS IS REPORTED
One Entire Division Is Said to
Have Fallen Into Hands of
Enoniy; Details Missing.,.
SMYRNA. Asia Minor, July 24.
(By the Associated Press.) An at
tempt by the Turks to recapture
Kski-Shehr and Ineun-u has failed.
Severe losses were inflicted on the
Turks by the Greeks. One -entire di
vision of Turks was captured.
The entire Turkish army concen
trated north and eastward of Eski
Shehr and attacked the Greek cen
ter in order to reoccupy Eski-Shehr.
while the right flank tried to re
take Ineunu, 20 kilometers west of
the town.
There was1 severe fighting which
lasted for 48 hours, during which the
Greek flanks enveloped the Turks,
compelling them to abandon strong
positions with severe losses1.
The entire Kemalist casualties were
about 6000 men. The remnants of the
Kemalist forces were still on the
fortified line of Si vri-Hissar, protect
ing Angora.
CONSTANTINOPLE. July 21. The
Turks, it was explained in some quar
ters here, either underestimated the
nature of the Greek offensive in Asia
Minor or were unable to bring up
reinforcements as neded. By others
it is conjectured that, realizing the
offensive to be too powerful, the na
tionalists mean to continue the re
treat, drawing on the enemy until he
is weakened by malaria, heat and the
lack of water and communications.
In the absence of accurate informa
tion relative to the exact position of
the Turks, the military situation was
not considered as irreparable. Allied
military experts do not expect the
Greeks to march on Angora and
Konia. owing to the nature of the
ground. The outflanking movement
which the Turkish army was said to
be preparing was also pointe-d to as
a possible fa.ctor in preventing this.
With reinforcements o,f Oiliclan and
Caucasian (iiviisons. the Turks, it was
declared, will be prepared to offer
stout resistance.
Eski-Shehr appears to have been
captured by the third Greek division
coming from the north, which ef
fected a Junction with the column
moving from Kutada. The Turkish
lasses in material were heavy.
WATCH IS IN
$5000 TIMEPIECE RECENTLY
PAWNED IX BUTTE.
Owner Says He Borrowed $50 on
Property to Get It In Safe
Place Till Banks Opened.
HOQUIAM. Wash., July 24. (Spe
cial.) The late Marcus Daly's J5000
Swiss watch, which he bought to
catch" the time of horses on the
New York race tracks, particularly
.his own racers, recently reported In
an Associated Press item as having
teen pawned in Butte, Mont., now
rests ir the safety deposit vault of
Pat O'Brien, landscape gardener, in
this city. Mr. O'Brien said he pawned
It in Butte for safety's sake, as the
banks were all closed and friends
told him his life would be worthless
if thugs knew he had it. The pawn
broker at first laughed when he
asked J50, but a glance at its interior
934 pieces, handmade by Swiss ex
perts, set in diamond cups, and having
an 18-ca'rat gold case made by the
firm of Sir John Bennett. Fleet street,
London soon convinced the pawn
broker that $50 was not too much to
risk, said Mr. O'Brien.
According to Mr. O'Brien, he ob-
. tained the watch from Dave Evans,
brother of Mrs. Marcus Daly. He bori
rowed JiaO on. it in Spokane a few
years ago and later obtained several
other sums. He could not explain
how Evans came to have the valuable
- timepiece.
Among the unique features are sil
ver chimes, indicators for days and
. months, besides the hours, minutes
and seconds, and the split-second stop
contrivance. According to Mr.
O'Brien's story, Daly, through a New
York jewelry firm, gaVe an order tot
"the best stop watch money can buy.
After outlining what he wanted, the
jewelers told him it would cost four
,or five thousands dollars. To this
Daly replied:
"I don't give a damn for the dol
lars, there's nothing too good for an
' Irishman."

Although the state legislature refused
an appropriation for the maintenance
of either the state fair or the livestock
show at Lewiston, and the commis
sioners of this county have just, re
fused aid to the state fair, the citi
zens of Boise have decided that a fair
shall be held this year as usual, al

OGCUPIES CONGRESS
Senate Committee to Open
Tariff Hearings. .
EXPERTS TO SIFT PLANS
Fight In House Over Restoration
of Duty:, on Hides and Cotton
Forecast by Leaders.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 24.
Money-raising legislation will occupy
the attention -of congressional com
mittees at each end of the capitol
this week, with the senate finance
committee opening hearings tomor
row on the Fordney tariff bill, and
the house ways and means committee
ready for discussion of the new tax
bill Tuesday.
Although the tariff bill, passed by
the house Thursday and designed to
raise about half a billion dollars in
revenue annually, was going into its
second stage, interest was somewhat
subordinated to the tax measure
which must produce more than seven
times as much.
. Expert's Aid Considered.
The senate finance committee has
under consideration a plan to estab
lish a clearing house of experts who
would sift out suggestions regarded
as worth while from the tax re
vision basket. The plan was under
stood to. have the approval of most
members of 'the committee and the
experts probably will begin work
while the committee itself is listening
to tariff talk.
American valuation provisions of
the Fordney bill will be the first
taken up by the senate committee
tomorrow and Tuesday.
Leaders in the senate committee
also were expecting to see a revival
of the fight in the house to have the
senate restore a duty on hides and
long staple cotton with provisions
for compensatory duties on shoes and
leather goods and textiles in which
the long staple cotton is used.
Another Conference Hoped.
The house ways and means com
mittee is going into its hearings on
the tax measure without any set
schedule. It was reported again to
night Mr. Kordney hoped to see the
president before the hearings.
Chief among the tax bills which
have passed through the house hopper
is a bill by Representative Long
worth, Ohio, republican, who would
repeal the excess profits, transporta
tion and fountain drink taxes and
reduce the higher surtaxes on per
sonal incomes. The Longworth bill
also proposes, as additional revenues,
repeal of the exemption of $2000 for
corporations and the application of a
15 per cent tax on their earnings in
the hope that this would bring around
half a billion dollars annually Into
the treasury.

state.
The governor will be in Springfield
Tuesday when Judge E. S. Smith re
convenes court, it was said tonight.
What course the judge will pursue
relative to the serving of the war
rants still remained a mystery to
night. Friends of the governor said he was
unmoved in his determination to hold
himself above arrest, following his
conference yesterday with . Mayor
William Hale Thompson and Fred
Lundin, and his speech in which he
assailed his political foes. It was
said that the governor would even
resort to the force of arms to resist
Sangamon county authorities by call
ing out state troops to protect him.

.Percy cupper, state engineer, re
turned here today from Boise where
he attended a meeting of the execu

Reclamation association. On the way
home, he stopped at Burns, Or., where
he attended a conference of the set

general's office also was represented
at the latter meeting.
Mr. Cupper ss.!d the meeting at
Burns resulted in much good and that
a definite agreement probably would

they find any subnormal minds, how
ever, he advises them to keep the
information to themselves.
Total enrollment for the summer

Two United States destroyers, the

at 608 Market street, arrived here yes
terday afternoon and tied up at Sup

just above the Morrison bridge. The
destroyers are on their second cruise
from the 12th naval dristrict at San

SINN FEIN VETO EXPECTED
ACCEPTANCE OF BRITISH OF
FER IS DOUBTED.
Fiscal Control Is Assumed to Be
Outstanding Feature, Imply
ing Irish Dominionlsm.
EELFAST, July 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The belief appears
general in Belfast that Eamonn de
Valera, the Irish republican leader,
will not accept the terms of the Brit
ish government for a settlement of the
Irish question, which fall far snort of
the republican ideal.
It may be assumed that the out
standing feature of the governmental
offer is fiscal control, which implies
dominionlsm for Ireland outside the
six northern counties and, unless spe
cial provision is made to the con
trary, it is believed likely to prove
the strongest lever for forcing Ulster
to join with the southern parliament
The prospects, so far as actions may
be judged, are not disconcerting to
the northern cabinet. It is generally
believed here that the Ulster govern
ment has received the most positive
guarantees from the British prime
minister, Mr. Lloyd George.
Meanwhile the authorities are tak
ing advantage of the truce to restore
matters to a normal basis. The north
Donegal railroad, which it was
thought would not be repaired for
weeks, already is in operation, and
orders have been given on the short
est -notice to re-start the Glenties line
tomorrow.
May Magowan, a 13-year-old girl
who was shot in the recent riot, died

The fire started in the Tripp real
estate office and gained considerable
headway before it was discovered.
Flames were seen in the rear of the
office by persons passing by andt-an
alarm promptly sounded. The Inde
pendence fire department played wa
ter on the flames for -considerable
time to prevent them from consum

1JAPAN HELD CERTAIN I
TO LIMIT SESSION
Formal Agreement Likely to
Be Asked on Scope.
MOVE TO DISARM WAITS
Far-Eastern Questions May Not
Be Taken Up Freely by Con
ference; America Confident.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 24.
(By the Associated Press.) It was
stated authoritatively here today to
be practically certain that Japan will
ask assurance that a formal- agree
ment as to the scope of the confer
ence discussions be reached prior to
the meeting.
Principal subjects for discussion
by the proposed conference under the
head of far eastern questions have
been considered in Japanese circles
here to embrace the status of China
and the possibility of reconciling va
rious conflicting concessions held by
foreign governments and individuals.
The Japanese belief is that there
shall be no interference by the con
ference with vested rights and con
cessions, but that it is entirely proper
that efforts should be made to re
lieve friction.
Shantung; Pact Expected.
The Japanese expectation is under.
stood to be that the Shantung mat
ter may be adjusted in advance of
the conf-erence and that the contro
versy as to cable rights in the island
of Yap may be "settled out of court"
by Secretary Hughes and Baron
Shidehara.
Progress towards final adjustment
of- the plans for the conference con
tinued to be delayed today by Japan's
consideration of the extent to which
she will participate.
Officials of the government here re
mained confident, however, that out
of the deliberations of the diplomatic
advisory council at Tokio would come
the announcement of agreement in ac
cord: with the general plan for the dis
cussion of far-eastern subjects, and
the European opposition to a con
ference as early as November would
not be persisted in to the point of
causing serious delay.
Confidence tm Heightened.
Confidence in the ultimate decision
of Japan was heightened by Associat
ed Press dispatches from Tokio quot
ing newspapers of the Japanese capi
tal as agreed that Japan will enter the
conference.
It has been clearly explained to the
British government that the United
States continues to favor a date not
later than November 11 for the open
ing of the conference, although it is
understood that insistence on that fea
ture was not carried so far as to in
dicate unalterable determination.
A counter suggestion, said to have
been made, was to advance the date
of the conference with the thought
that the dominion premiers may be
able to join in the discussions prior
to the date fixed for the convening
of the legislative bodies in their coun
tries. Government Expert Busy.
Officials of the government have at
tempted to make it plain that they
desire to follow a policy of give and
take in making arrangements for the
conference and in preparing the
agenda. Secretary Hughes' apparent
optimism regarding the situation
with Jaapn is believed to be due
largely to pursuance of such a policy
and it has been indicated in various
quarters that the United States will
not object to nor consider improper
the attaching of reservations bv
Japan to an acceptance of the invita
tion to discuss questions of the orient.
While the Jaapnese decision was
awaited, government experts already
are working through great piles of
documents, sifting out and co-ordinating-
the information that will be
needed by the American delegates in
the discussions of the manyquestions
that will come before the conference.
They have been assigned by the state,
war and treasury departments, whose
chiefs reflect the administration's
known confidence that in a short
time, perhaps before , the end of the
coming week, the obstacles to hold
ing the conference will be removed.
DISARMAMENT PLEA MADE
Osaka Business Men Urge Govern
ment to Take Action.
BY MOCK JOTA.
TOKIO. Japan. July 24. (Special.)
Japanese business men are becom
ing interested in the armament re
duction problem, and those of Osaka,
the center of the business and indus
trial activities of Japan, have just
appealed to the government to reduce
armaments and also have proposed
universal armament reduction to all
povers of the world.
The question has been widely dis
cussed in Japan by statesmen and
publicists, but the chamber of com
merce of Osaka is the first commer
cial organization of Japan to take up
the problem seriously and, voting for
the armament reduction, to propose it
to the government officially.
These business men are convinced
that armament reduction will greatly
benefit the whole country and at their
general meeting recently decided to
solicit the approval and support of
other chambers of commerce of Ja
pan for an early realization of arma
ment limitation, not only in Japan but
also in the leading world powers.
The resolution of the Osaka cham
ber, forwarded to the prime minister
and the ministers of finance, navy,
army and agriculture and commerce,
made the following argument:
"We support armament reduction to
avoid any calamity of war, to preserve
the peace of the world without re
sorting to unlimited armament com
petition and to lighten the burden of
the people in paying for ever-increasing
armament. The country requires
energy and money for many useful in-

dustries and development which are
now being spent on armaments.
"Armament reduction is now the
topic of the world, and the league
of nations has been organized to pre
serve the peace of the world, and it is
advisable and timely for our country.
which stands always for humanity
and the world peace, to advocate the
armament reduction policy which will
eventually remove misunderstandings
of other powers concerning Japan and
effectively lighten the burden ol me
people.
"We have the honor of submitting
our resolution to the authorities of
the government, praying that the
matter be given their serious and
immediate attention."
The appeal to the government offi
cials was accompanied with a state
ment which clearly set forth the
benefit to be realized by armament
reduction. Military and naval ex
penditures, it said, amounted to one
half of the total national expendi
ture, and the entire amount of direct
taxes is not sufficient to pay the
armament expenditures of the coun
try. Under such conditions, it is impos
sible to develop industries and civil
ization of the country, and such feats
are causing misunderstandings in
other nations about Jaapn. it is point
ed out.
Again, the pedple cannot stand to
pay the ever-increasing armament ex
penditures, it is argued, especially
with the country still in the throes
of the business depression which fol
lowed the war.
The chamber's resolution has at
tracted a wide attention and it is ex
pected that all chambers of commerce
