2 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 " EARLY CONFERENCE OF ALLIES DESIRED Coming Near East Counci World Concern. NEUTRAL CITY WANTED Berne, Zurich and Geneva Sug . gested as Possible Places " for Peace Negotiations. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 12. (By th Associated Press.) Lleutcnaat- General Sir Charles Ha,rriiLgrton, t-he BHtih commarvder-In-cnief here. will pres the all-led powers for an early convening: or the peace comer unce, which he believes will he the most important council of world powers since Versailles. It is ex pected that the deliberations will re quire from two to three months at lea-st, as the questions for decision are of the widest importance, in eluding? the vital interests of all lru rope, and will likely involve many matters outside the near east. The allied autho-ritlo here will oppose the selection of Smyrna or Constantinople foj- the meeting of tne conference. .Major-uenerai e?lt trederick B. Maurice, discussing the suLject today, said: "It is imperative that a neutral city be choeen. Smyrna and Con stantinople are impossible on ac count of the atmosphere of hostility, intrigue and racial and religious an imosities which would surround the delegates. Even Italy is inappro priate because Italy is a party to the negotiations and is techmca:ly one of the enemies of Turkey. AH Nations Interested. The allied representatives here will probably suggest Berne, Zurich or Geneva, all of them free from theae objections and comparatively near at hand. The conference will vitally interest all the great nations of th-e world. Besides Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, the gather ing will receive the undivided atten tion of Rumania, Jugo-Slavia, Bul garia and, of coume, Russia. American interests will center In the arrangements for continuation of commercial agreements and the so-called capitulations as well as protection of the Christian minori ties and the right of religious and educational missionaries to carry on their work. Perhaps the most mportant ques tion before tlis conference will be that of capitulations, which are treaties covering the rights of for eigners in Turkey and providing for their government under the laws of their own country instead of the - Turkish laws and trial by their own consular courts instead of by Turk ish tribunals. Law Baaed on Religion. "Our delegates will demand aboli tion of the capitulations," said Hamld Bey, the Kemal representa- i tive, today. "They are humiliating and opposed to the best interests of , our people. Foreigners thereby oc cupy a preferential position and en ioy privileges denied to the Turks. . v n y continue a system that has hampered the legislation, justice and finances of the country? Is not Turkey now an independent country, with the full rights of an indepen dent nation?" The American government will op pose this claim. The American consul-general, Gabriel B. Kawndal, ex plained today that the real reason for the capitulations is that th4 Turks have not yet separated law and religion in their courts and government and asserted that Chris tian nations could not permit their citizens to be ruled under laws based largely on the religious doc trines and rights of Mohammed. TtIRK BUTCHERY COXTIXCES room to the corridors and scores t people were turned away. R. A. Booth, chairman of the state high way commission, presided.- ' In; his introductory speech Mr. Booth pleaded that churches stand together and stop clutching at each other's throat. He pointed out that the Mohammedan hordes were about to flood civilized Europe and were threatening the whole world. While the black people were preparing to destroy civilization and Christianity, the Christians were quarreling among themselves, he said. Mr. Young pointed out to his audi tors that there is now a compulsory school attendance bill on the statute books of Oregon passed in 1907, and that the new initiative measure was aimed solely at the private and parochial schools. Mr. Young said: "The title by which, the compul- j sory school attendance bill is being sponsored and designated , is calcu lated to deceive and has and will deceive thousands of voters. It should be entitled a bill to abolish all private schools. It is in fact bill to amend the law already ,on the statute books. FARMERS TD STUDY 'COLUMBIA PROJECT Reclamation Chief to Leave for West.

ATHENS, Oct. 12. Vivid stories Of robbery and massacre of fleeing Asia Minor Greeks are told by Al fred Brady c-f the American Smyrna disaster committee in Constan - tinople, formerly of Dallas, Texas, who Just arrived In Athens from a two weeks' trip In the islandjs of the Smyrna district, rescuing Greek and Armenian refugees from the beaches. Mr. Brady, administering relief from the funds raised by the Ameri can colony in Constantinople, found he Turks opposed to efforts to aid in the rescue of the panic-stricken Christian, population. While thou sands of homeless huddled on the beaches the Turks fired on vessels flying American and British flags which attempted rescue work. Mr. Brady says: "'Although the majority of Greek and Armenian civilian men in Asia Minor have been deported to Angora into what is . tantamount to slavery and the majority of women and children have been exiled from Greek soil. th Turks' campaign of massacre and terror continues as the last sur- viving Christian communities are being wiped out one by one. 1 made my headquarters in Mitylene while a fleet of 17 vessels flying the American flag took refugees from coast villages. "On October 2 I was Informed that 10,0"00 refugee women and children were concentrated by the Turks at Aivali bay. I proceeded there on an American destroyer. Arriving outside the port we went to the beach on a small boat fiylng the stars and stripes. Turkish troops turned & machine gun on the boat, the bullets snapping off the flag staff from which the flag was float ing. When we landed they denied that there were any refugees there. Later we found higher ofiicers who treated us courteously and to,ld us we could take off refugees. No apology was made for firing on th American flag beyond saying: 'our men misunderstood their orders.'" EX-PASTOR OPENS FIGHT Expelled Presbyterian Minister Seeks to Be Reinstated. TULSA. Okla., Oct. 12. Rev. Thomas J. Irwin opened hia figrht for reinstatement in the ministry her today before the judicial com mission of the Oklahoma synod of the Presbyterian church in a new rial of charges of conduct unbe coming1 a minister, upon which he was convicted last July and sus pended by the El Reno presbytery. Irwin, formerly pastor of the First Pre&byterian church at Law- on, appealed his case .to the synod when It convened here Monday, ask- ng that a rehearing- of the charg-es given on grounds that the pres bytery rendered a prejudiced deci- ion. He charged that the "whole affair" had been an attempt on the art of enemies of the late Jake L. Hamon, republican national com mitteeman, to erase the minister's ame from church annals. For a umber of years he was pastor of the church of which Hamon was a member. The hearing: is being held behind closed doors. LOW-PRICE FURNACES. Prices are going up on furnaces.

FKEXCH, LINE PliAXS FIGHT Liquor to Be Served as Usual and Sealed When in 3-Mile Limit. PARIS, Oct. 12. (By the Assocla-. ted Press.) The French line has decided to fight the Washington ruling against carrying liquor by foreign owned liners within Amer ican territorial waters, and in the event of an adverse decision in the United States supreme court will move to obtain an appeal to the in ternational court of justice at the Hague. "Liquor as usual up to the three- mile limit." was the decision the board of directors of the French line made today after two long ses sions, "then seal up the bars and let international . law take its course. The British lines are understood to be in perfect harmony with the French company in this matter. The first test case is likely to arise when the White Star liner Majestic, which is scheduled to sail from Cherbourg October 18, reaches New York. The steamer Homeric which cleared yesterday from Cherbourg, and the French liner La. Fayette, sailing 'Saturday, are within the limit set by the Washington edict. France has decided to await de velopments, leaving the question. for the present, entirely in the hands of the shipping companies. They wilL however, make repre sentations should the vested rights of its nationals, represented by sail, ors and stokers aboard French ships, be deprived of their half or entire litre of wine. M. Rio. minister of merchant ma rine, is preparing the data on the subject for Premier Poincare. The latter may take up the matter with Washington should the French owned ships be seized. M. Rio has asked the opinions of French ex perts "tn international law. Concerning the privilege 'of the United States to accept or reject the jurisdiction of the international court of justise at The Hague, mem bers of the cabinet have expressed the opinion that although the United States is not a member of the league of nations it has one judge sitting there in the 'person of John Bassett Moore. It is the opinion here that the United States government would be unwilling to go on record as re fusing to arbitrate a matter of this sort before such a tribunal. French Hire officials are abso lutely appalled at the Washington report that their ships are liable to seizure as common smugglers. They declare that, outside the finan cial loss, which would be irreme diable, there is the question of per sonal privilege and liberty- on which they would be unwilling to yield. "It cannot be true," said O. J. Dal Pia. general manager of the French line, to the Associated Press tonight. "We have not been officially informed of any such rad ical changes and shall continue as heretofore." "Taking wine away from our sailors and stokers is just like tak ing milk away from babies," said M. Villiers, .head quartermaster of the French line, to the Associated Press correspondent. "I am positive that we would be unable to muster crews for N ew York shouia tne edict be upheld. Wine Is one of the primest necessities of life for these boys." '- The. financial loss to the French line would be hundreds of thou sands of francs monthly. On one trip In August, with 1011 passen gers aboard, the steamer Paris sold 1260 bottles of champagne, r5a Dot tles of fine Burguady and Bordeaux wines and 87 bottles of liquors. The Parisian evenings newspapers have taken a decided attitude against the American ruling. La Liberte said: "Wine is our patrimony, the same as our literature, our art and our science. It cannot be taken away from us." I It 1 1 t --5 far- jilt' J , if, t --- - r VktroU No. 280 ZOO NEW YORK IS MAKING OWN Older and More Deteriorated Grapes Are, Better the Demand. NEW YORK. Oct. 12. Omar Khay yam, the poet who disclaimed pro fundity by declaring that he was "never deep in anything save wine," waded in shallow pools compared to pedestrians whose way of travel to day lay along West street, that broad cluttered and smelly thor oughfare that bounds Manhattan's Hudson shore the home of fruit and commission houses. A trip through West treet now is a journey along a path that Is compromise between a vineyard and a battlefield.

Estimates of commission men vary, but it seems that at least 25 carloads of wine grapes, mostly from California, arj being unloaded here every day and are finding ready pa tronage on West street.
