Patrols Augmented The British police forces in the capital have been greatly aug mented and will probably be as sisted by French gendarmes. It is estimated that the present total British strength in Constantinople and the 'Dardanelles are about 16,000 men which, when rein forcements now on the way ar rive, will be 'greatly increased to nearly 75,000 effectives.

(By ,the Associated Press) Hamld Bey, the Turkish Nation alist representative here informed the . Associated Press correspond ent this evening that it was cer tain the Turkish army would de clare war on the British if the British attempted to interfere with the movement ot the Turk ish troops across the straits of Thrace. Hamid Bey expressed the hope that the British would see the fairness :of granting the Kemalists the privilege already accorded to the Greeks, namely freedom In the use of the straits without molestation. t-; . Skirmishes Iltported - He entertained scant hope of the success, of the conference at Smyrna between Kemal Pasha and General Pelle, the French high commissioner, declaring that the Angora government's determina tion to occupy Thrace was already fixed and nothing would deter It except recognition of its claims. Nationalist troops already are massed, at the edge of the neutral lines at Ismid and Chanake and skirmishes are reported between advance patrols and British out-, posts near Chanak. Eight Powers Called PARIS, Sept. 20. Definite as surance that there will be no war in the Near East and calling of a peace conference for the set tlement of the Turkish problem, were the chief results of the al lied meeting this afternoon. Pre mier Poincare, Lord Curzon and Count Sforza were the partici pants in the conference. The eight interested powers, including the Angora government; will gather aro'nnd be peace table within three week's,; probably at Rome or Venice, and make a new treaty with Turkey to talte the place of the treaty of Sevres. - The eight natrons collect; to gether are Great Britain; France, Italy, - Japan, Turkey, Greece, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia. Surprise Is Sprang Japan's Inclusion at the last minute came as a' surprise. It was due to Lord Curxon'a insist-' encj. The British foreign secre-' tary told Premier poincare that his government frankly feared the close association it had reason to believe existed between Moscow and Angora, and Japan's presence Coatlflttcd 3 5521 CLAIM PEOPLE DISBELIEVE 10 COMMANDS Bishop Says it Is Unedif yirtj to Read Laws Which People do not Keep.

RECENT ANNEXATION HELD COMPLETE ACTION General Satisfaction is Ex pressed With Conduct at Expo last Year Salem is not like; Julius Caesar said about all Gaul, which was divided into three parts. Salem is an indivisible, indissoluble un it, and. nobody can take away any part , of its police powers, or its territory. This Is not at all the legal ver biage, but it is the heart of the verbal opinion given by City At torney Jtay Smith Wednesday in passing upon the question of policing the state ifair grounds during the state fair week. The fair grounds are part of the city, therefore Salem must police them. State Officers Proposed The question came up. when it was proposed, tentatively, that the fair could or would be policed by state constabulary instead of by the regular Salem city police The argument was made that a police force appointed by and un der the control of the fair might be closer in touch with the man agement, and - that this Would make for efficiency. ' It was further argued that since the fair grounds are state property 4the city would be a good deal of s tall wagging the dog in trying to assume police jurisdic tion over the state. 1 No War to Do It Attorney Smith, however, finds that since the fair grounds are legally included within the city boundaries, : and that they were so Included for the express pur pose ot giving them; city police peptection there does not'j seem to ,be any way to delegate the police authority to any one else. If the state itself were running the fair, as it runs the state house grounds, it might be allowable to let it also exercise police control. But since the fair is run by a board and not .by the state direct ly, there seems to be no good legal warrant for transferring the po lice authority to an alien power. Order Good Last Year It may be remembered that the fair grounds were brought into the city especially to giye the (Continued on page 2.) JOLTS BRITONS Seizure of Boats With Liq uor Beyond 3-Mile Limit Invites Row WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (By the Associated Press.) Unless thj defendants take an .appeal from the federal court decision in Bps ton yesterday and permit a higher tribunal to pass upon claim of the American prohibition navy to juris diction over the seas beyond the three-mile limit, the British gov ernment is expected here to take up the subject diplomatically with the state department. It is the British contention that the issues raised by the court de cision yesterday in Boston , in the case of the British schooner "Grace and Ruby which was held for rum selling beyond the three-mile .limit, are for more grave ami important than any mere question of the punishment of a few smugglers, or the enforcement of domestic laws. In the British view there is in volved the greater question of free dom of the high seas. If it is pos sible for any nation to extend its jurisdiction beyond the old recog nized limits of its own pleasure and witnont reference to the other maritime powers, it is regarded by the British as highly important that some understanding: should be reached as to the extent of the powers claimed, BOH VERDICT VALLEY i SERVICE MAY BE COT - TO ONE MSEMGER DAif; IS vice Pisiirs Mrsmk INDIANS IN SHIPWRECK TO ARRIVE HERE Party of Students, Including Willamette Athlete, Have Thrilling Experience.

ON IN DEATHS If the Oregon Electric Railway company continues to lose money at the present rate in the operation of its train service in Oregon, it may be forced within a fewmonths to curtail its passenger service from Portland to Eugene and other up-valley points to one train daily. This was the assertion last night of V. D. Skinner, vice president of the company, who is : in Salem while on a tour, over the territory served by the company. ' : A prior recommendation, however, that will be made by him to the company unless financial relief comes, will be the complete abandonment of the Forest Grove line of the com panyV a;.-'--.-.,-; . , A move that will probably be made in the naar future, which may entail further losses but which apparently is necessary as an experiment in passenger service, will be the reduction of one-way fares to meet competition of inotor bus linesi Mr. Skinner said this is to be done in all territory where bus competition; exists. Between Portland a&oVSalerrf tho reduction would be from f 1.84 to $1.50.
