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.

Relief Worker Tells of Atrocities
in Asia Minor.
BT OTIS SWIFT.
(Chioatro Tribune Foreitrn News Service.
Copyright. 192:;, by the Chicago Tribune.)
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.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C. Oct. J2. It was

committee on reclamation of the na
tional board of farm organizations,

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."

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

rivulets of grape juice. In some
places it's ankle deep and little

methods of getting a draught of

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

riper and jucier they are, the quicker
