CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20.
(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

Reverend Dr. H. B. St. George

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

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,

JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 2f.
Silent men worked in three cem
eteries here tod a, preparing the
last resting place for 45 of the
47 miners victims of the Argon
aut disaster. The 45 will 'be; bur
led Friday, while the other two
will be interred later .outside of
California's mother lode country.
Rescue workers made rapid
progress today in bringing bodies
to the surface of the Kennedy
mine from the 4350 foot level of
the Argonaut mine, although a de-'
lay of one hour and a halt! was
caused by the breaking of a slide
built between the Kennedy ;and
Argonaut.
The number reached 28, j 17
reaching the surface today.. The
rescue crews are working deter
minedly at their task, and it was
expected that the remaining 19
bodies would reach the surface
before the United States bureau
of mines rescue crew and miners
quit their work. , j
Searching inquiry into the
causes of the mine disaster will
be made Friday at the coroner's
inquest, Thomas G. Negrich, dis
trict attorney, announced. He
declared all facts relating to he
mine disaster would be brought
out. He refused to state whether
any criminal or civil action would
be taken. .
Mrs. Dolores Potter, coroner,
previously announced that she
would summon the engineer; on
duty when the Argonaut caught
fire, James Bradshaw, shift boss,
and others connected with (the
mine. '
Throughout the strain of the
last three weeks, Jackson has
borne up bravely under the strain.

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.
Mr. Skinner said he had received inquiries, from the
presidents of the Northern Pacific nd the Great Northern
'as to what the effect would be, if tie' service In the Wil
