TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1922 SPECIAL CITY ELECTION ON PDL1CECHIEF Council to Again Submit Charter Amendment i Mayor Censures Chief for Arrest Outside i City. The voters of Salem will again i have an opportunity iu say ! whether they wish to elect a chief of police or have him appointed by the mayor with the consent of the city council. At a meeting of I the aldermen last night two ordl- I nances were passed one provld I iug that a special city election be I held November 7 and the second providing for a measure which I would make tlio police chief job i appointive rather than elective. I At thn last election, the nro-' ! posed measure was voted dovp by a small margin and aldermen are of the opinion that it will be given 1 favorable consideration when the I ballots are cast next November. j Moffitt Censured by Mayor. I Chief of Police Moffitt was I strongly censured by Mayor Hal- vorsen last night for, attempting to carry-on a program of law en forcement outside the city limits and it is understood that Governor OlcOtt, at the request of the may' or, has revoked Moffitt's commis sion as a state officer. The mayor's attack on Moffitt was the result ot an arrest by Moffitt and an other Salein officer near Donald, Sunday, of William John, who was taken into custody and 30 gallons of moonshine liquor confiscated. "The chief has no jurisdiction outside the city and I charge him wtili wilful neglect of duty," Hal- vorsen said. "I have spoken to the chief of this before and I noti fy him now that he is not to take the police car out of the city again." Iu a short reply to the mayor Chief Moffitt said that the infor mation concerning the 30-gallon cache had come to him at a mo ment when he believed immediate action would be warranted. He said that he feared the-30 gallons might be dumped into Salem dur ing fair week and that he would have as a result more trouble to contend "' with. . He added, how ever, that the mayor's wishes would be regarded in the future. , May Close Billiard Hall. A resolution providing for the revocation of the billiard hall li cense of I. K. Smith was placed be fore the counciUast night but was tabled until next meeting. It was said that Mr. Smith had never taken out a license and Mr. Hal vorsen expressed himself forceful ly as favoring the move to close the establishment. At the sug gestion of Alderman Patton, how ever, who declared that Mr. Smith should be granted a hearing, the councilman voted to postpone con sideration' of the resolution for a fortnight. ' - " Mr. Smith was arrested several days ago and charge with permit ting two minors to play in his bil liard tables. He plead guilty and was fined if 10. The possibility of a man operat ing an establishment subject to a license without procuring 'one brought Alderman Patton to his feet. He charged general ineffi ciency to city officials and con cluded with "it's time for this city to begin operating on a business basis." No Parking Signs. On motion of Alderman Wende roth the council voted to have business men notified a month in advance of the time when their li censes fall due. If they do not ap appear then they are to be brought in by the chief of police. At the request of Alderman Baumgartner, the council decided to post "no parking" signs oppo site the canneries located on North Commercial and South 12th streets. . Thestreets have been too crowded during the last few weeks, Mr. Baumgartner said. Another motion from Mr. Baum gartner, providing that a man be employed to attempt collection of the numerous sidewalk liens, was adopted.

ITAIN TO FIGHT ALONE (Continued from Page One.) ish are ready to dispatch troops to the Dardanelles, if necessary have helped allay the anxiety of the population, and Constant! nople is breathing easier. It is be lieved that an attack by the Kern alists now would meet with cer tain repulse. To Consult With Kemal General Pelle, French high ewut missioner who has gone to Smyrna to consult with Mustapha Kemal is reported to have been instruct ed by the allied high command to warn the nationalist leader that any encroachment on the neutral zone will provoke decisive action not only on the part of Great Brit ain, but also France and Italy. Permission to send vessels to Smyrna to take off the Christian refugees has been granted by Mustapha Kernel Pasha to the al lied powers, the United States and Greece. Males between the ages of 15 and 45 however, are excepted and it is presumed that the na tionalists intend to use them for military purposes. The situation in Symna is still one of the gravest character. The reign of terror continues among the Christian population, and French troops are reported to have fired upon Turkish irregulars whom they caught killing and pit laging. - . . , Dying from Exposure.' Armenians and Greeks are dying by the score from exposure, fright and exhaustion. Ten thousand Italians and twelve thousand French were evacuated from the city yesterday. The food stocks have become exhausted and the people are eating horse flesh American relief workers distri bute flour, which the famished refugees devour raw. , Mustapha Kemal has requested the aliles to permit his army to occupy Thrace, insisting that the Dardanelles question can be dls- ussed later with all the Black sea countries participating. He de clares it is vitaV that the national ists occupy the territory, in order to liberate the Moslem population, which he says is oppressed by the Greeks. The nationalist representative here has informed the British high commissioner that the Angora government, by virtue of treaties concluded with soviet Russia and the Ukraine, cannot accept the in vitation of the powers for a con ference confined only to discussion of the Dardanelles question unless delegates from Russia and the Ukraine are allowed to participate Rigdon & Son's KOETTJABY TJnequaled Service Webb & Clough Leading rtTUXEAl DIEECT0E3 EXPEET EMBALMEES TERW1LLIGER Residence Parlor 770 ChemekeU St. Phone 724 Lady Embalmer NO RESTRICTION iAT WILLAMETTE OPON NUMBERS Registration at Willamette uni versity yesterday, the first day of too opening of the college for the fall semester, was very light, only 48 being comletoly signed up. However it is expected that today and tomorrow the registration will be heavy. Last year the total enrollment was approximately 550. Of the number only 29 were registered on the first day of registration. One hundred and forty two were Rated the sec ond day and 206 the third. The rest were all signed up during the next two weeks. Many of the students are working and wait until the last day before they register, hence the heavy listing on the last day. A number of those that come in dur ing the first two weeks of school are thoee who have been working in flie orchards or farms and stay until the eeasoa is over. The rule passed by the board of directors at their semi-annual meet ing last February in Portland which would limit the enrollment at the college to 450 students, 250 men and 200 women, is not being ad hered to this year, according to the registrar, N. S. Savage. To turn away those who seek admission with the campaign for a million and a quarter dollars so near at hand would be unwise, it is said.
