CONSTANTINOPLE.' Oct. 1. (By
the Associated Press.) Orders for
a cessation of military movements
in the Chanak region of Asiatic.
Turkey and for the suspension of
the activities of the Turkish irreg
ular forces in Thrace have been
issued by Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
the Turkish nationalist leader.
The Turkish nationalist authori
ties "have agreed to an armistice
conference in Mudairf'a on Tuesday
and' have requested the allied rilprh
commissioners to appoint dele
gates. The nationalists will be rep
resented by Ishmet Pasha and pos
sibly by Hamid Bey. '
PARIS. Oct. 1. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The general feeling in
Paris tonfght was that the danger
point In the near east situation was
past. The withdrawal of the Turks
from Erenkeui and, as semi-offi-cially
reported, also from their posi
tions at Chanak, was accepted as
proof of the Angora government's
readiness to comply with the allied
desires. . "
C redit :iven Brltnln.
Great Britain was given credit In
French official quarters with hav
ing held a dignified and firm atti
tude, which greatly contributed to
the solution of the difficulty. At the
fame time. Mustapha Kemal was
praised for having shown a con
ciliatory attitude, which, it was
roped, the BcJtish would not over
look, as the Kemallsts will have
evacuated the. neutral zone first.
French officials were auxious that
Great Britain find means to satisfy
the Turkish public opinion.
LONDON". Oct. (By the Assocated
I'rets.) With the virtual acceptance
by Mustapha Kemal Pasha of a con
ference at Mudania Tuesday, or as
toon as possible thereafter the whole
n ar eastern situation is considered
temporarily easier. However, the
fact that Turkish troops were still
concentrating in the lsmid zone not
withstanding that they had retired
slightly i nthe Chanak zone, would
Indicate, according to remarks made
after the British cabinets second
neetitng today, that "Kemal is Bt'll
playing a game." f
( ahlnrt Srenm Gratified.
While the cabinet members appear
to be uiurh gratified at the happy
conclusion for the moment of a dif
ficulty which might have necessi- '
tated the use of force in the Chanak
zone, there are other bridges to
cross. Up to tonight there was no
Information from General Ilaring
ton. the British commander at Con
stantinople, that Kemal would at
tend the Mudania conference, nl. I
though General Harington's dis
patches indicated that he might.
The Mudania meetitng will be a
purely military affair, to arrange,
according to the original allied note
to Kemal l'asha, tha the neutral
zone shall be respected and. also
to agree upon lines behind which
the Greeks are to withdraw in
Thrace, both points pending the
general peace conference.
w Military Men to Altrad.
There will be present military
r-presentatives of the three allied
powers as well as of Greece and
lurkey.
It has been pointed out that the
very basis of this conference is re- i
spect of the neutral zone and before i
It begins the Turks wil lbe expected !
to evacuate the Chanak area en- I
tirely."" On this point there had been I
quibbling until the British cabinet !
permitted General Haringlon to I
send a virtual ultimatum to the ;
Turks to clear out.
. Although the Turks have not yet
withdrawn completely, th;. have
evacuated the heights of Eren Keul
and have desisted also from parad
ing before the British vire entan
glements. If the Turks arodnd lsmid begin
such actions or attempt to enter the
neutral sone at that point, there is
likelihood that the British will
raise the questio nbefore entering
the conference. It is known that
while General Harin-fton is making
every effort to maintain peace, he
is a most exacting and determined
person when given cause.
Another question which may arise
within the conference is the form of
government or control to be estab
lished InTiicepemirng terms

II. r. Knox, Badly Hurt, Crawls
'200 Feet and Spends Night
Before Cries Bring Help.
Unrequited love and the marriage
of his sweetheart -to another man,
say the police, led H. M. Knox, 35-year-old
postal employe. to sek
death by a leap from the Ford-street
bridge some time Saturday night. A
clump of' brush intervened and
Knox probably will be crippled the
rest of his life." He is now at St.
Vincent's hospital, suffering from a
broken leg and -serious injuries to
his hips.
Knox, wIiom relatives live in Min
neapolis, has been' a resident of
Portland for the last five years and
for two years has made his home
with G. Steiger,- 777 M.adison street.
Steiger said Knox received word
several days ago of the marriage at
Stockton, Cal., of his sweetheart.
Miss Hazel Colt. Knox became mel
ancholy. At about 8 o'clock Saturday nig'ht
he left the Steiger home without
telling anyone of his intention. At
about 7:10 o'clock Sunday morning
Steiger heard the' cries of a man
from the gulch beneath the bridge
and on investigating found Knox. A
hurried call was sent to the police.
Knox wa'a found to be badly injured.'
Investigation showed he had
leaped from the north approach of
the bridge and bad falle.n a distance
of about 45 feet, landing in a clump
of brush, whit-ri served to break his
fall. He called for help, but no one
responded. The injured man then
crawled a distance of about 200
feet and succeeded in drawing his
host's attention to his condition.
Knox would recover, physicians
said, but may be crippled for life.
WOMAN, 83, BURNED, DIES

Mrs. Huntley was cooking' the
evening meal on a gas range.. She
was alone and it is not known how
her clothing caught fire, but when

mother and was severely burned on
the hands and face.
MAN'S HEAD IS FOUND
DiM-overy In Park Provides Xew
York Poliee With Mystery.
(By Chicago Tribune Lea! Wire.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The finding
of the head of an unidentified man,
apparently an Italian, about 27 years
old, wrapped in a bed ticking and
brown paper, in Bronx park by two
boys furnished the police a new
mystery.
On theory is that the man was
a victim of the Black Hand and an
other Is that he was killed as a
result of a bootleggers feud.
One outstanding fact, the police
said, was the slayer or ' slayers
wanted it to become known that
the man had been put out of the
way, otherwise the head would have
been thrown into the river or other
wise disposed of.
70-POUND TUMOR CUT

Period of Depression Is Al

PRICES ARE STIFFENING
Only Adverse Faetor Is Trans

That Is Being Remedied.
BY HATtDEN COUAX.
(Copyright. 1B22. by The Oregoni.ll.)
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 1.
(Special.) American commerce and'
Industry are roundlne into the home
stretch of the year with a seasonal
spurt whose speed is cheeh-ed only
by the limits of transportation fa
cilities. Demand exceeds production
ir. several important commodities;
prices are stiffening: dollars which
have lain idle in bank vaujlts are
finding.' work; labor Is no longer
fermenting with discontent and once
more expansion of mills and fac
tories Is the "order of the day.
Such are the headlines of the
weekly resume of business condi
tions throughout the country, as
Eat! ered here by government de
partments and national trade organ
izations. They are interpreted as
indicating that the period of de
pression is almost wholly past and
that after the faltering of the past
two years business is well on the
way to the making of a new high
record.
One factor alone appears in pros
pect as a deterrent the transpor
tation situation but the railways of
the country, almost to a unit, are
endeavoring to correct that situa
tion with the utmost dispatch.
Ninety per cent of the normal force
of shopmen is reported back at work
and the drive to repair 'bad order
equipment, interrupted hjr the strike,
again is in full swing.
New Kqalpment Ordered.
In addition the carriers have re
cently placed enormous orders for
new cars and locomotives and the
makers of this kind of equipment In
some instances are working over
time to meet the demand. During
the first seven months of the cur
rent year, according to the Ameri
can Railway association, orders for
new freight cars totaled 95,195, as
compared with 69,436 for the entire
year of 1921, More orders are in"
prospect for the remainder of the
year; enough, it is estimated, to
double the figures of 1921.
Notwithstanding local car short
ages, the geological survey reports
that soft coal Is coming to the sur
face in sufficient' quantities to meet
the demands of industry in full and
to furnish a margin for filling bins
against the winter. The coal market
has eased perceptibly, much to the
discomfort of the speculators, who
now find themselves lacing ' the

ANOTHER CASE OF
Battleship Taken on I.onjr Trip
From San Franclseo to
Fight Spanish Fleet.
LONG "ACH. Cal.. Oct. 1. Rear
Admiral" .harles K. Clark, who,
then- a , tain, conrmanded the bat
tleship regon on its famous voy
age m Sanl Francisco . to Key
WesAnd later in the battle tf
San t to. July 3, 1898. in the Span
lsh .-p iierican war, died at the home
of ''i daughter here late today. He
w O ,'79 years old.
t was Rear Admiral Charles E.
"-ark.' who guided the battleship
Oregon in its race against time on
a- voyage equal to half way around
the world without a single seriMis
mishap to men or machinery.
This remarkable race occurred
during the opening days of the
Spanish-American war in ' 1898.
Clark, then a captain, was 54 years
old. He left San Francisco March
19. Between him and his detina
tion were the continent of South
America, the gales and turbulent
waters ofithe straits of Magellan,
where a Spanish torpedo boat lurked
also,, and a fleet .of formidable
Spanish warships cruising in the
Caribbean sea. On the afternoon Of
the 67th day the Oregon steamed
into Jupiter inlet, on the coast of
Florida, unharmed and ready for
battle. , ,
, It is the world's record which
probably will never be equalled it
probably never again will be at
tempted. The Panama canal re
moves the necessity. A modern bat
tleship could be transferred from
San Francisco to the . Florida coast
in time of war through the canal In
less than 20 day;-.
An interesting anecdote is told of
how Clark came to be placed in
command of that difficult and dan
gerous voyage.
"Has he the stick-to-it-iveness to
take him clear through?" . asked a
'naval authority of' one -of Clark's
friends who was urging his appoint
ment to the Oregon.
"Did ydu ever see him play
chess?" the friend replied.
"What has that to do vit,h the
case?"
"Everything," was the 'answer.
"Strategy as learned on the --hess
boardj is not a bad training as a pre
liminary to naval tactics.", and he
continued to outline Clark's charac
teristic determinative .. which was
noticeable, even while playing ohess,
until the appointment was won.
Rear Admiral Clark was born in
Vermont in 1843. At the age of 20
he had been ordered tp the west gulf
blockading squadron in the civil
war before he had finished his sec
ond year at Annapolis. . A year later
he was following Farragut over the
torpedo beds and past the forts in
the battle of Mobile bay.
Clark's naval career was varied.
He was shipwrecked off the coast
of British Columbia in 1868 when
fche Suwanee foundered, and through
the loss of his superior officers be
came commander. ot tne 33 surviv
ors. He organized them into- a de
fensive party to hold off 400 hostile
Indians until rescue-arrived. He
watched the Spaniards, whom he
was later to engage in battle, bom
bard Valparaiso' and Callao; he
served on the Pacific. West Indies
and Asiatic stations; was attached
to the Brooklyn. Mare 'island and
Portsmouth navy-yards land In

of which $193,652,281 was personal

the personal income tax received
by the government that year from
all the states, Washington 1.44 per
cent and Idaho .09 per cent.
In Oregon 8.63 per cent' of the

total income of $706,400. the tax
amounting to $397,006. By classes
other large taxpayers stood as fol
lows: $10,000 to $11,000 class, 279;

One return filed from the state was
in the $500,000 to $750,000 class, rep
resenting the income of two or more
taxpayers grouped to conceal the
net income and identity of the tax
payers. Idaho Except for three groupings
in the classes ranging from $50,000
to $90,000, Idaho's largest taxpayers,
five of them In all, paid taxes on
incomes In the $30,000 to $40,000
class. .
Bla-gest Payers Have Little Say.
AiKinterestlng fact shown in these
returns is that those who pay the
bulk of the federal Income taxes
have the least to say in congress
about the rate to be paid. Taking
the state of Mississippi as an exam
ple, that state has a population
almost two and one-half times the
population of Oregon and one-third
times the population of Washington.
Mississippi paid total personal and
corporation taxes of $5,776,136 to
Oregon's $15,152,541 and Washing
ton's $24,414,571. yet Mississippi's
voting power in the lower branch
of .congress is equal to the com
bined strength of Oregon and Wash
ington, Mississippi having eight rep
resentative Oregon three and
Washington five.
As might be suspected, all eight
of Mississippi's representatives voted
in the consideration of the present
income tax law for the higher sur
taxes which would fall mainly on
taxpayers' in other mates. This is
pointed out as proof of the charge
frequently made during the discus
sions of that measure that the
higher rates were forced by persons
who paid little or no taxes.

ting With Transport
Workers' Union.
Efforts of a radical group among
the Portland longKhoremen to force
another waterfront strike failed
Saturday night when the union
voted against the plan ot walking
out.
News of the action taken leaked
out yesterday, although efforts were
made to suppress it.
When the vote was taken, 215 men
voted against the strike and 210
cast their ballots for walking out
with the members of the Marina
Transport Workers' Industrial
union., an I. W. W. organization.
It was declared by members of the
longshoremen's union that the ac
tion taken is final, unless It should
be desired to reconsider the vote at
some regular meeting. Such steps,
it was thought, might be under
taken by the radical element as a
result of the closeness of klie vote.
Efforts to bring about I water
front strike have been under way
on the part of the Marina Transport
Workers' Industrial union, an or
ganization composed of I. W. W.
employed on the waterfront, for
some time. That organisation voted
to go on strike some time ago. How
ever, It desired to obtain the co
operation of the longshoremen be
fore any action was taken. A com
mittee representing the L W. W.
is known to have conferred with
the officials of the longshoremen
in an effort to obtain their co
operation. What will be the result ot the
failure of the longshoremen to put
their stamp of approval upon the
proposed strike and upon the plans
of the Marine Transport Workers
