CURRENT

TURKEY REJECTS U. S. PLEA
Protection of Christian Subjects Re
fusedWashington Disappointed
Lausanne. The Turco-American
negotiations are in an unfavorable
position; it depends upon the deci
sion of Washington whether a con
vention will be signed at Lausanne.
Ismet Pasha took Riza Nur Bey
with him Monday to give him added
strength in has talks with Joseph C.
Crew.
The first indication that the situa
tion was less hopeless came when Is
met announced that Turkey could
o nothing for the United States
with respect to the protection of
Christian populations in Turkey, who
were Ottoman subjects. This was a
distinct disappointment because of
the previous intimation in Ismet's
mswer to Mr. Grew's letter, inquir
ing as to what steps Turkey would
dopt for safeguarding the legitimate
interests of minorities, that he would
enclose of copy of the national pact,
which includes references to the
rights of minorities.
Today, however, Ismet said that
ifter mature consideration this seem
ed impossible because the national
pact provided for treaties concern
ing minorities with other countries,
nd it was not suggested that the
United States should negotiate a
treaty on this subject.
Coming down to the question of
the American claims for damages to
property, Ismet suggested two alter
natives. He proposed that a distinct
category of claims to be agreed upon
should be mentioned in the treaty
and submitted to arbitration, failing
an accord In specific cases. The sec
ond alternative was that the fixing
of a category of claims should be ad
journed for later negotiations be
tween the two governments and that
when requests for damages fell into
the field, thus restricted, they should
be submitted to two appraisers, one a
Turk and the other an American.

of
San Francisco. In a formal state
ment issued at 10:50 o'clock Sunday
night President Harding announced
the cancellation of "his entire Cali
fornia porgram."
The decision of the president was
made known after a conference be
tween the executive's physicians and
some of his advisers, who discussed
the condition of the president result
ing from the attack of ptomaine poi
soning, from which he has been suf
fering for the last three days.
Brigadier-General Sawyer issued a
bulletin on the president's condition,
resulting from the attack of ptomaine
poisoning, in which he said new
symptoms had arisen during the day
indicating complications, and leading
to the calling of a consultation of
physicians.
The bulletin, signed by General
Sawyer, said:
"Because of new symptoms having
arisen during the day indicating com
plications in the case of the president,
a consultation of physicians has been
called. After this has been conclud
ed bulletins will be issued regularly
for the information of the public."
The statement was made authorita
tively shortly before midnight that it
probably would be ten days or two
weeks before the president would be
able to undertake any long trip, such
as would be involved in a return to
Washington. General Sawyer, it was
said, had decided to take every pre
caution possible.
Two San Francisco physicians, se
lected by General Sawyer and his ad
visers, were called into consultation
at midnight. After the meeting with
the
consulting physicians General
Sawyer, it was announced, would is
sue another statement.
The two physicians called into con
sultation were Dr. Ray Llman Wllber,
president of Stanford university and
head of the American Medical asso
ciation, and Dr. Charles M. Cooper
of San Francisco, a heart specialist,
Formal notices of the cancellation
of the California program and indefin
ite decision with regard to the water
trip to the east coast were sent out
by direction of Secretary Christian
to the city officials of Los Angeles
and San Diego, the two California
cities which the president planned to
visit after leaving San Francisco, and
to those in charge of arrangements
at Panama, San Juan, Porto Rico and
St. Thomas, Virgin islands.
Two Policemen Killed.
New York. Two policemen were
shot and killed Friday night when
they overtook a man and a woman
in a taxicab after a chase that led
over Queensboro bridge and ended
at Sixty-fourth street. The screams
of the woman drew another patrolman
to the scene, but the assailants es
caped. The shooting occurred not far
from the society colony established
on the upper east side by leaders of
New York's "400."
Slavs To Seize Island.
Nome, Alaska The Russian soviet
government in Siberia is outfitting a
vessel at Vladivostok to capture
Wrangel island, Captain E. Putta of
the American trading schooner Is-
kum, which arrived here Thursday,
having in irons two guards who had
been put aboard to detain the craft
on the Siberian coast, declared Sat
urday.
America Has Privilege.
Lausanne. The American and
Turkish experts reached an agree
ment Saturday night whereby the
United Sates receives the most-favor
ed nation treatment concerning the
freedom of the straits for merchant
men and warships. The United States
without signing the straits conven
ton will receive all privileges.
Firebugs Busy In Erin,
Belfast. Large fires, believed to
be of Incendiary origin, began Satur
day night in the Port Law district of
County Waterford. The countryside
for several miles was ablaze and
large quantities of hay and straw and
five buildings were destroyed. The
fires are believed to be connected
with the strike of farm laboers.

Lulu had played it now as she must
have played It then.
Half after nine and Dl had not re
turned. But nobody thought of Dl.
Cornish rose to go.-
"What's them?" Mrs. Bett de
manded. "Dvvlght's letters, mamma. You
mustn't touch them 1" Lulu's voice was
sharp.
"Say !" Cornish, nt the door, dropped
his voice. "If there was anything I
could do at any time, you'd let nae
know, wouldn't you?"
That past tense, those subjunctives,
unconsciously called upon her to feel
no Intrusion.
"Oh, thank you," she said. "You
don't know how good it is to feel "
"Of course It is," said Cornish
heartily.
They stood for a moment on the
porch. The night was one of low'
clamor from the grass, tiny voices, In
sisting. "Of course," said Lulu, "of course
you won't you wouldn't"
"Say anything?" he divined. "Not
for dollars. Not," he repeated, "for
dollars."
"But I knew you wouldn't," she told
him.
He took her hand. "Good-night,"
he said. "I've hud an awful nice time
singing and listening to you tulk
well, of course I mean," he cried,
"the supper was Just fine. And so
was the music."
"Oh, no," she said.
Mrs. Bett came Into the hall.
"Lulle," she said, "I guess you
didn't notice this one's from Ninlan."
"Mother"
"I opened it why, of course I did.
It's from Ninlan."
Mrs. Bett held out the opened en
velope, the unfolded letter, and a yel
lowed newspaper clipping.
"See," said the old woman, "says,
'Corle Waters, music hall singer
married last night to Ninlan Dea
con ' Say, Lulle, that must be
her. . . ."
Lulu threw out her hands.
"There I" she cried triumphantly.
"He was married to her, just like
he said I"
The Tlows were at breakfust next
morning when Lulu came in casually
at the side door. Yes, she said, she
had had breakfast. She merely want
ed to see them about something. Then
she said nothing, but sat looking with
a troubled frown at Jenny. Jenny's
hair was ubout her neck, like the
hair of a little girl, a south window
poured light upon her, the fruit and
honey upon the table seemed her only
possible food.
"You look troubled, Lulu," Mrs.
Plow said. "Is It about getting work?"
"No," said Lulu, "no. I've been
places. I guess the bakery is going
to let me make cake."
"I knew it would come to you," Mrs.
Flow said, and Lulu thought that this
was a strange way to speak, when she
herself had gone ufter the cakes. But
she kept on looking about the room.
It was so bright and quiet. As she
came in, Sir. Plow had been reading
from a bonk. Dwight never read
from a book nt table.
"I wish " said Lulu, as she looked
nt them. But she did not know what
she wished. Certainly it was for no
moral excellence, for she perceived
none.
,"What is it, Lulu?" Mr. Plow asked,
and he was bright and quiet too, Lulu
thought.
"Well," said Lulu, "It's not much,
but I wanted Jenny to tell me about
last night."
"Last night?"
"Yes. Would you" Hesitation
was her only way of apology. "Where
did you go?" She turned to Jenny.
Jenny looked up in her clear and
ardent fashion : "We went across the
river nnd carried supper and then we
came home."
"What time did you get home?"
"Oh, It was still light. Long before
eight, it was."
Lulu hesitated and flushed, asked
how long Dl nnd Bobby had stayed
there at Jenny's; whereupon she
heard that Di had to be home early on
account of Mr. Cornish, so that she
and Bobby had not stayed at nil. To
which Lulu said an "of course," but
first she stared at Jenny and so im
paired the strength of her assent. Al
most at once she rose to go.
"Nothing else?" nld Mrs. now,
catching that look of hers.
Lulu wanted to say: "My husband
was married before, just as he said he
was." But she said nothing more, and
went home. There she put It to Dl
and, with her terrible bluntness, re
viewed to Dl the testimony.
"You were not with Jenny after
eight o'clock. Where were you?"
Lulu spoke formally and her rehears
als were evident.
Dl said: "When mamma conies
home, I'll tell her."

With this Lulu had no idea how to
deal, and merely looked at her help
lessly. Mrs. Bett, who was lacing her
shoes, now said casually :
"No need to wait till then. Her and
Bobby were out in the side yard sit
ting in the hammock till all hours."
DI had no answer save her furious
flush, and Mrs. Bett went on :
"Didn't I tell you? I knew it before
the company left, but I didn't say a
word. Thinks I, 'She wiggles and
chltters.' So I left her stay where
she was."
"But, mother I" Lulu cried. "You
didn't even tell me after he'd gone."
"I forgot it," Mrs. Bett said, "find
ing NInian's letter and all" She
talked of NInian's letter.
Dl was bright and alert nnd firm of
flesh and erect before Lulu's softness
and laxness.
"I don't know what your mother'll
say," said Lulu, "and I don't know
what people'!! think."
"They won't think Bobby and I are
tired of each other, anyway," said Dl,
and left the room.
Through the day Lulu tried to think
what she must do. About Di she was
anxious and felt without power. She
thought of the Indignation of Dwight
and Ina that DI had not been more
scrupulously guarded. She thought of
Di's girlish folly, her irritating Inde
pendence "and there," Lulu thought,
"just the other day I was teaching
her to sew." Her mind dwelt, too, on
Dwlght's furious anger at the opening1
of NInian's letter. But when all this
had spent itself, what was she herself
to do? She must leave his house be
fore he ordered her to do so, when
she told him that she had confided in
Cornish, as tell she must. But what
was she to do? The bakery cake-
making would not give her a roof.
Stepping about the kitchen In her
blue cotton gown, her hatr tight and
flat as seemed proper when one was
"Of Course," Said Lulu, "Of Course
You Won't You Wouldn't."
not dressed, she thought about these
things. And It was strange: Lulu bore
no physical appearance of one In dls
tress or a'tf anxiety. Her head was
erect, her movements were strong and
swift, her eyes were' interested. She
was no drooping Lulu with draggln
step. She was more intent, she was
somehow more operative than she had
ever been.
Mrs. Bett was working contentedly
beside her, and now and then hum
ming an air of that music of the night
before. The sun surged through the
kitchen door and east window, a re
turned oriole swung and fluted on the
elm above the gable. Wagons clat
tered by over the rattling wooden
block pavement.
"Ain't it nice with nobody home?'
Mrs. Bett remarked at Intervals, ilk
the burden of a comic song.
"Hush, mother," Lulu said, troubled
her ethical refinements conflicting with
her honesty.
"Speak the truth and shame the
devil," Mrs. Bett contended.
When dinner was ready at noon, DI
did not appear. A little earlier Lulu
had heard her moving about her room.
and she served her In expectation that
she would join them.
"Dl must be having the 'tantrlm'
tills time," she thought, and for a time
said nothing. But at length she did
say : "Why doesn't Dl come? I'd bet
ter put her plate in the oven."
Rising to do so, she was arrested
by her mother. Mrs. Bett was eating
a baked potato, holding her fork close
to the tines, nnd presenting a profile
of passionate absorption.
'Why, Dl went off," she said,
"Went offl"
"Down the walk. Down the side
walk."
She must have gone to Jenny's,"
Bald Lulu. "I wish she wuuldu t uo
that without telling me."
Monona laughed out and shook ner
straight hair. "Shell catch it!" she
cried In sisterly enjoyment.
It was when Lulu had come back
from the kitchen and was seated at the
table that Mrs. Bett observed :
1 didn't think Inle'd want her to
take her nice new satchel."
"Her satchel?"
"Yes. Iuie wouldn't take it north
herself, but Dl had it."
Mother," said Lulu, "when Dl
went away Just now, was she carrying
a satchel?"
Didn't I Just tell you?" Mrs. Bett
demanded, aggrieved. "I said I didn't
think Inie "
"Mother, which way did she go?"
Monona pointed with her spoon.
She went that way," she said. "I
seen her."
Lulu looked at the clock. For Mo
nona had pointed toward the railway
station. The twelve-thirty train,
which every one took to the city for
shopping, would be Just about leav
ing. "Monona," said Lulu, "don't you go
out of the yard while I'm gone. Moth
er, you keep her "
Lulu ran from the house and up the
street. She was in her blue cotton
dress, her old shoes; she was hatless
and without money. When she was
still two or three blocks from the sta
tion, she heard the twelve-thirty
pulling out."
She ran badly, her ankles In their
low, loose shoes continually turning,
her arms held taut at her sides. So
she came down the platform, and to
the ticket window. The contained
ticket man, wonted to lost trains aud
perturbed faces, yet actually ceased
counting when he saw her :
"Lenny I Did Di Deacon take that
train?"
"Sure she did," said Lenny.
"And Bobby Larkin?" Lulu cared
nothing for appearances now.
He went In on the Local," said
Lenny, and his eyes widened.
"Where?"
"See." Lenny thought it through.
Millton," he said. "Yes, sure. Mill-
ton. Both of 'em."
"How long till another train?"
"Well, sir," said the ticket man,
"you're In luck, If you was goin' too.
Seventeen was late this morning
she'll be along, jerk of a lamb's tail."
Then," said Lulu, "you got to give
me a ticket to Millton, without me pay
ing till after and you got to lend me
two dollars."
Sure thing," said Lenny, with a
manner of laying the entire railway
system at her feet.
Seventeen" would rather not have
stopped at Warbleton, but Lenny's sig
nal was law on the time card, and the
magnificent yellow express slowed
down for Lulu. Hntless, nnd in her
blue cotton gown, she climbed aboard.
Then her old inefficiency seized
upon her. What was she going to do?
Millton I She had been there but once,
years ago how could she ever find
anybody? Why had she not stayed in
Warbleton and asked the sheriff or
somebody no, not the sheriff. Corn
ish, perhaps. Oh, and Dv. ight and Inu
were going to be angry now! And
Di little Di. As Lulu thought of her
she began to cry. She said to herself
that she had tuuglit Di to sew.
In sight of Millton, Lulu was seized
with trembling and physical nausea.
She had never been alone in nny un
familiar town. She put her hands to
her hair and for the first time realized
her rolled-up sleeves. She was pulling
down these sleeves when the conduct
tor came through the train.
"Could you tell me," she said timid
ly, "the name of the principal hotel in
Millton?"
Ninlan had asked this as they
neared Savannah, Georgia.
The conductor looked curiously ut
her.
"Why, the Hess house," he said.
"Wasn't you expecting anybody to
meet you?" he asked, kindly.
"No," said Lulu, "but I'm going to
find my folks " Her voice trailed
away.
"Beats all," thought the conductor,
using his utility formula for the uni
verse. In Millton Lulu's inquiry for the
Hess house produced no consternation.
Nobody paid any attention to her. She
was almost taken to be a new servant
there.
"You stop feeling so!" she said to
herself angrily at the lobby entrance.
"Ain't you been to that big hotel in
Savannah, Georgia?"
The Hess house, Millton, had a tra
dition of Its own to maintain, It
seemed, and they sent her to the rear
basement door. She obeyed meekly,
but she lost a good deal of time be
fore she found herself at the end of
the office desk. It was still longer be
fore anyone attended her.
"Please, sir I" she burst out. "See
if Dl Deacon has put her name on
your book."
Her appeal was tremendous, com
pelling. The young clerk listened to
her, showed her where to look In the
register. When only strange names
and strange writing presented them
selves there, he said :
"Tried the parlor?"
And directed her kindly and with
his thumb, and in the other hand a
pen divorced from his ear for the ex
press purpose.
