LONDON, Sept, 22. (By The Associated Press.) The question of peace or war in the Near East seems to turn to night first upon whether the question of the future status of Thrace can be kept separate and distinct from the question of neutrality and freedom of the Dardanelles, and, second, whether the guns begin to speak before the negotiations be tween the allied representatives in Paris have ended. While there is not the slightest diminution m the an nounced determination of the British government to uphold the neutrality of the straits of Dardanelles, a significant semi-Qf fical statement issued this evening, seems to indicate some modif cation of the British policy and its attitude to ward Greece in Thrace which it may be assumed is the out .come of the Paris negotiations, in which Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary participated; i . . : Adhere to Demand HAWAII BOWS IN SHAME AT HULA DANCES Natives Denounce Exhibitions as Indecent Parodies and Importations.

This Is shown by figures pre pared by State Treasurer Hoff and sent to William G. Shepherd of New York City, who is preparing an article on the subject for Col liers. In New York it s estimated that the tax will be $7,986,200. The Rockefeller estate is esti mated at approximately $200,000, 000 net. In Oregon the ' law grants an exemption of only J 10, 000 to the lineal heirs as a whole, and not $5000 for each heir as In New York. In Oregon this would leave $199,996,000 of the Rocke feller estate taxabtw. . and this would be the schedule of taxa tion under the Oregon iw: $15,000 at 1 per cent, $150. $25,000 , dt 1 1-2 per cent. $375. l.$50,000 at 2 per cent, $1,000. $200.00 OjH a nor rent, $6000. $200,000 af. 5 per cent, $10,000. $500,000 at 7 per cent, $35, 000. i $199,000 at 10 per cent, $19, 900.000. - - Total paid, $19,962,525.

Hopes of women of the Protest ant Episcopal church in the Unit ed States for legislation atUhe general convention here towards immediately glvln them greater recognition In tho church's work were dashed by the action of the house of bishops late today In falling to concur in" the action of the deputies in an amendment to a canon iwhicn would make possi ble the licensing of women as lay readers Bishop A: W. Hall of Vermont put the quietus on the measure by speaking against its passage.- Thls-tneasnre was the only one of three to survive this far in the convention mill.

Creator of Loganberry Will Be Here for Fair J. H. Logan, who created the loganberry, yesterdays telegraphed from his home at ' Oakland, . Cal. that he had accepted the invita tion extended by Governor Olcott and will attend the Oregon state fair which starts here next Mon day. " ' " ' The Oregon state horticultural society Joined with Governor Ol cott in extending the invitation to Mr. Logan. 1 - ' The loganberry now has become one of the principal sources of in come m tne wiiiameiie Taney, and thousands of acres of land is devoted to the industry In this part of the state. This statement loctnred Great Britain was Keeking nothing for herself, but that she would insist on neutralization for the Dardan elles and free pap.HdRe of the wa terway under iac league of na tions or some other international organization. A'l othet questions were secondary. The negotiations in Paris have not' been completed yet. but ac cording to advice3 received to night from the French capital.

Labor Oppose Premier One of the s'.rongcst charges made against Premier Lloyd George's near Eastern policy, es pecially by the labor party has been Its pro-Greek character. The labor party announced that it was unwilling to eng&ce the nation in a war for the fulfilment of Greek ambitions. According to Constantinople advices received here Mustapha Kefal Pasha, the Turkish nation alist leader, demands within 48 hours guaranltmB I. '.lie eyacua tlon of Thrace by the Greeks. On the other hand, the GreeK gov ernment expresses th strongest determination to hold Thrac at all costs.- France is supposed to be willing to ses the Turks back In eastern Thrace and it an agree ment between tne Hritish and Frnch government cn this matter Is believed" Greecs would not be likely to oppose the views of a united entente. Kemol Hols Issue According to the view express ed In official quarters the issue lies In Kemal's hands. Tlrere is no secret about the strength of the force that the nationalist lead er Is able to put in the field. No weight is attached to r larmist and exaggerated estimates of that trength. While awaiting announcement from Kemal regarding; his inten tions, Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for the colonies and Sir Laming Worthington Evans, sec retary of state lor war. held a con- HONOLULL.
