HUGHES PURPOSE PUZZLE
How Votes for Mr. Harding Would
Hasten Co-operation With
J Nations Not Explained. '
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
Copyrieht. 11)22. by New York Evening

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 20.-
CSpecia!.) To all who are asking
whether the American government
Is going to take account of the
Turkish situation to the extent of
doing something to prevent a seri
ous explosion in Europe, the answer
is "No." The government is con
fining its activities strictly to those
things in the way of relief and pro
tection for American citizens that it
would have done 10 or 20 or 30 or
100 years ago. The Washington gov
ernment is pointedly cautious in
what it is doing in Asia Miner and
in Constantinople, and equally cau
tious here in Washington as to talk
ing about what it is doing or going
to do.
The inspiration of this caution as
well as its object is to forestall any
impression that the government is
taking account of European affairs
in the larger sense. The cause of
the caution is fear lest the existence
of the league of nations and lest
anything that has happened in the
past 10 years and lest the existence
of a European problem in domestic
.American politics should cause a stir
as a result of the Turkish incident.
What is said here "goes" not only
for the present Turkish situation
but for our relations to Europe gen
erally. The American public, to
whatever extent some of it will
approve and o whatever extent
some of it will disapprove, might
as well know that the present Euro
pean policy of the Washington gov
ernment is identical with the policy
of the irreconcilable senators in the
league of nations fight. It la the
policy of "out of Europe."
"Hands Off," Hutches' Policy.
This is so not only while Secre
tary Hughes is on the ocean but
afeo when he is here in "Washings
ton. Secretary Hughes was one of
the 31 republican leaders wno in
the campaign of 1920 told the public
that the best way to bring about
co-operation with Europe was to
vote for President Harding. Just
what facts or reasons may have led
Mr. Hughes to his present European
policy is a subject too long to dis
cuss here.
"Hands off" is the policy. All
that this dispatch attempts is to
state that for the present and for
the indefinite future the American
policy Is to abstain from any "in
volvement," as Mr. Harding put it,
with th affairs of Europe. It is
true that on the occasion of Mr.
Cox's cabled suggestion that Hoover
be sent to represent America on the
reparations commission a vague
comment came out of Washington
to the effect that at some time or
other in the indefinite future, God
willing and weather permitting,
America would do something helpful
about Europe. But that statement
was as vague in substance as it was
in form. The clear fact is that, as
already stated, our present policy is
definitely one of "out of Europe."
Meantime, listen to the latest ad
venture of the Honorable Jim Red
of Missouri. One day last week
while Reed was on his feet on-the
senate floor in the midst of a speech
lambasting somebody or other about
something or other, a boy handed
hira a telegram from Missouri to
the effect that the democrats out
there were holding a state conven
tion and that they were going to
adopt a platform indorsing Wilson
and the league of nations and name
a state chairman unfriendly to Reed.
Reed Fats Things Over.
Reed thereupon dashed for the
first train for Missouri. He dead
locked the state committee for 18
hours on the selection of a state
chairman and then put his man over.
In the matter of a platform he rout
ed wholly those who wanted to in
dorse the league of nations and pre
vented any mention of that institu
tion. '
Thereupon, having put in 48 hours
of good hard work for America's
ancient isolation, and against those
who would entangle us with the
dynasties of Europe, Reed took the
next train back to Washington. The
completeness of this story requires
that it be said that in the eyes of
many observers Reed Is at this mo
ment a candidate for the next demo,
cratic nomination for the presidency
on a platform which has as its main
plank repudiation of the league of
nations ajid of Wilson and all his
works. j
that his instructions to petition
circulators, jf followed, would have
permitted no fraud.
The suit was brought by the state
of Oregon on the relation of John
H. Carson, district attorney of
Marion county,, against Sam Kozer,
and a change of venue to Multno
mah county was granted because of
the fact that all the witnesses re
sided here. McCamant & Thompson
represented the petitioner and X- H.
Van Winkle, attorney-general, and
J. A. Benjamin, assistant, the sec
retary of state. The hearing occu
pied about a week.
APPEAL- NOT YET DECIDED
11 INDICTED IN CLATSOP
Alleged Operation of Purse Seine
Brings True Bill Against 8.
ASTORIA. Or,, Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Four indictments and one
not true bill were returned this
afternoon by the circuit court grand
Jury for Clatsop county. Captain
Moxie Peters and seven members
of the crew of the purse se ning
craft Sveta Ana. were indicted for
illegal fishing, operating a purse
seine in Oregon waters. Captain
Peters is at liberty on $500 bail,
while the others were released at
the time of their arrest upon their
own recognizance. The boat Is be
ing held here awaiting confiscation
proceedings.
Claude Sigsby and Allen Case, two
boys, were indicted for larceny for
robbing the bungalov.- dance hall at
Seaside, and Emil Johnson was in
dicted for forgery In issuing bogus
checks. The not true bill was in
the case against Joseph Rutledge,
charged with attempted criru'nal
assault.
Secretary of State to Confer With
Attorney-General.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
The court found in the fishing
amendment case, that Mr. Green
practiced fraud in preparing the
petitions. In one instance, the de
cree pointed out. Mr. Green induced
Caroline Herman, Portland notary
public, to place her seal and signa
ture1 on a blank petition, upon which
he later signed 55 names procured
by Mrs. W. W. Bowers.
Other irregularities found by the
court include: Erasures in the pe-
j titions to which was attached the
certification of the county clerk of
Clackamas county; names on the
petitions of 14 persons who denied
that they affixed their signatures to
the document: names of five aliens
and two minors; many repetitions
and 11 names of non-residents or of
persons who had not lived the re
ouired length of time in the state
twelve fictitious names, and 12
names'of purported signers of the
petitions whose addresses were in
accurate; one deceased person and
st-veral persons living outside the
state.
Sam Kozer, secretary of state, who
was named as defendant in the pro
cedings. said tonight that he had
r.ot yet decided whether the case
would be taken to the supreme court
fcr final determination. He will
confer with the attorney general, it
was said, before making any defin
ite announcement.
HAMi CANDIDACY ATTACKED
Suit Started to Prevent Name
Being Placed on Ballot. ,
SALEM, Or., Sept. 20. Special.)
Suit was filed in the circuit court
here today by H. E. Slattery, Eu
gene attorney, to restrain Sam A.
Kozer, secretary of state, from
placing the name of Charles Hall,
independent candidate for governor.
on the Fallot at the November elec
tion.
Mr. Slattery alleged in his com
plaint that if Mr. Hall's name is
not prevented from going on the
ballot Mr. Kozer will be unlawfully
using the taxpayers' money and will
be encouraging the county clerks to
do likewise. It was charged by Mr.
Slattery. that the printing of the
sample and official ballots would be
ait unnecessary waste of funds.
0lr. Hall was nominated for gov
ernor by an assembly of 100 voters
held in Portland recently.
11 Jte -was defeated for the repub
lican nomination for governor at

That was the clarion cry at Mc

hibition. One of the pioneer com
munities of the state, .this county
has been holding agricultural ex
hibitions for decades, but the 1922
show will go down in history as one
of the most successful. Most fairs
have sometMng on which to start,
some impetus from the year before,
but the Yamhill county fair of 1922
had to start from a dead center.
This makes its success all the more
notable. All of the Willamette val
ley gathered to pay tribute to pros
perous Yamhill.
There were 166 exhibitors in the
agricultural section and many more
in the speciality divisions. But the
outstanding feature of the big day
was the spirit of the thing. A great
parade in the morning ushered in a
memorable programme. No big city
could hope to vie' with this little
Willamette valley place when
it comes to an event of this kind.

and daughters came h,ome, if pos
sible, for the day, and they accepted
as their just due the praises the
