jammed with spectators milling

Unquestionably, however, the size

Secretary Hughes Voices
Unequivocal Approval
of Proposals to Insure
Freedom of Straits.
Washington, Sept. 26. (By As
sociated Press.) The unequivocal
approval by the Washington gov
ernment of allied proposals to in
sure freedom of the Dardanelles
and the Bosphorus and also to
protect racial and religious minor
ities in Turkish territories in
volved in the present Near East
ern situation was expressed oy
Secretary Hughes today in reply
to an inquiry addressed to him by
the Associated Press.
The question submitted sought
to ascertain "the attitude of the
government of the United States
toward the proposals made by the
allies to the . Turkish nationalist
authorities." Mr. Hughes declined
to comment on the territorial
questions raised, but made clear
the attitude of the administration
on the other points involved.
"The American government Is
gratified," said Mr. Hughes, "to
observe that the proposal of the
three allied governments seeks to
insure effectively 'the liberty of
the Dardanelles, the sea of Mar
mora and the Bosphorus as well as
protection of racial and religious
minorities.' These points ot the
proposal are clearly in accord with
American sentiment.
"This government also trusts
that suitable arrangement may be
agreed upon in the interest of
peace to preserve the freedom of
the straits pending the conference
to conclude a final treaty of
peace between Turkey, Greece and
the allies."

WALTERS DENIED
NEW TRIAL BY

circuit court sentencing Husted
Walters to hang for the murder of
Jerome Walters, Portland police
man, is allirmea Dy tne uregon
supreme court in an opinion writ
ten by Justice Harris and handed
dowp by the court this morning.
The opinion points out that
the defendant was ably defend-'
ed. He had a fair trial. The rec
ord of his trial is free from pre
judicial error."
The crime for which Walters
was sentenced to hang was com
mitted on the streets of Portland
on the nighit of November 17,
Lane County Case.
The court this morning also
denied a petition for a rehearing
the case of Calkins vs. Lane
county. This case involved tne
use of market road funds on state
highways. The Lane county cir
cuit court, bad held that market
road funds were created for a spe
cific purpose, the improvement of
market roads, and could not be di
verted to use on state highways.
This decree was affirmed by the
supreme court in an opinion ev
eral weeks ago and a rehearing
of the case is now denied. The
holding of the courts in this case
is said to affect highway improve
ment activities in many Uregon
counties.

Picturesque Georgian
Senator Stricken Sud
denly after Dinner Last
Night.
Washington, Sept. 25. United
States Senator Thomas E. Watson
of Georgia died suddenly at his
home here early today. Death was
said to be due to an acute attack
of asthma, from which Senator
Watson had suffered recurrently
for some years.
Although failing health has in
terrupted Senator Watson'B at
tendance at senate sessions fre
quently ia the last several months,
he was in his seat Friday when
the senate adjourned and his
friends believed that he was then
showhig improvement. He wfis
stricken suddenly after dinner last
night and passed away shortly
after 3 o'clock this morning. He
was 66 years of age.
Members of the senator's family
and a number ot close friends were
at his bedside when the end came.
During the first year and a half
of his term in the senate, to which
he was elected in 1920 after re
ceiving the nomination over Sena
tor Hoke Smith and Governor
Hugh M. Dorsey, Senator Watson
gave no indication of any impair
ment of the vigor and activity
which had marked his long career
in politics and--as a publisher. In
hia last speech In the senate, de
livered only a week ago last Wed
nesday,, the Georgia senator se
verely criticized the administra
tion for its course in connection
with the rail strike situation.
Hhi previous attacks on the ad
ministration and most notably his
chargef of illegal hangings in tne
American expeditionary rorces,
the stihject of exhaustive investi
gation by a senate committee, had
made him a conspicuous figure in
the stnate body during his brief
service there.

FAIR BOARD'S
AXE IS OUT FOR
WEATHER IN
The state fair board has Its axe
out for the weather man. Today
they are betting, with a prayer in
undertone, on the predictions ot
the "old timers," who stood on
one foot and then the other
around the gates of the grounds,
cast anxious g'ances at the sky
and, along about noon,; predicted
in unison that Wednesday would
be graced with sunshine and
balmy breeica.
How strong the fair officials
bank on the unofficial predictions
is indicated by the preparations
they are making to entertain the
largest crowd that ever entered
the grounds tomorrow, Salem dav.
"Unless these old friends go
back on us," said Secretary Lea
this morning, Indicating the pi
oneer weather prophets who bung
close to the shelter of the portico
of the administration building,
"we are going to smash all at
tendance records tomorrow. And
that means some crowd. Last year
around 40,000 people entered the
grounds on Saleru day."
In one way fair patrons who
attend tomorrow will profit by
the inclemency of the weather to
day, especially the race fans. To
day's race program, postponed by
reason of the muddy condition of
the track, will probably be run off
Wednesday, giving the spectators
a double racing card for the day.
