OIL PARLEY DIVIDED Britsh Ambassador Leaves for London With Revised Concession Terms FIRST DAY'S SESSION BRINGS CROSS FIRE ON OREGON TRUNK Testimony Adduced Shows Intent of Hill Lines Were to Parallel Those of Southern Pacific in State (By t. W. McDOXALD) I Klaff Currcfipondcnt Klamath News PORTLAND, Sept. 6. Plunging at the very outset Into the vitals of, what promises to be the most stub-j born of any legal railroad battle! since tba Interstate commerce com mission came into existence a bat tle for the awakening empire, the Klamath basin opened here this morning. Launching a terrific of fensive, with their own witnesses on tho stand, the northern lines built a railroad today from Bend to Klamath Falls. The constructive wotk for the! northern lines, however, was met! by the glint of the sharp bayonet1 of legal minds of the Southern Pa cific and when Charles D. Mahaffle, director of the bearing, and a mem-: ber of the Interstate commerce com-! mission, called the hearing to a, close after dusk and darkness In tervened this evening, the counter offensive of the Southern Pacific bad torn gaping wounds into the' ambitions of the northern lines to penetrate southern and central i Oregon. .

Howard Perrin, Mrs. Twyla Fergu CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 5. Anglo-Turkish negotiations to set tle the vexing problem of Mosul and Its oil may open soon, accord ing to the newspapers here, which assert ttat H. C. Lindsay, tte Bri tish ambassador soon will depart for London bearing new Turkish proposals regarding the disputed territory. It Is sugogsted that the negotiations would bo semi-official. The September mooting of the league's council had tho Mosul question before it. but the uncom promlstng a'.l'fido ot tho. British and Turks moved tbe o. ncll to deposit, the sitillng quns'.lou in the handiest spot, which happened to be the "league court. The council requested the court to paw upon certain legal aspects of the c.-?e. It was said oi the time that this move wns to ;rovlde the two Interested parties when nn 'opportunity to get together for a settlement. Both Britain and Turkey claim tbo vila yet ot Miaul. Tho British claim Is in the namo of tho kingdom of Iraq, which Britain protests under a league of nations mandate. Mosul la believed to include a oil field. of evidence was presented by that' railroad to show cause for coming j Into tba territory, stamped by tbe Southern Pacific as theirs by right! ot occupation. All applications for extensions are to be- considered a8 one case. Any road may Intervene In any application. Any predictions as to the outcome of the rail battle are impossible' after the first day of the hearing. However, the Southern Pacific Is. conceded to have 'gained several strong pednts in their fight to keep; out the northern lines. Lines Parallel In the first place, they forced the Oregon Trunk executives ' and engineers to come out and admit that their surveys paralleled both the Natron cut-off and the O. C. & E. the former for a length of 40 miles and the latter for about 60. In other words. 90 miles of the 178 mile survey of tba northern linea from Bend to Klamath Falls Is ad jacent and paralleling at a distance from 14 to miles, the Southern Pacific and Strahorn roada. On the face of thia testimony by northern lines, it Is a foregone con clusion by officials on both sides, that the northern lines. If tbey coma south, will not enter Klamath Falls on their own private line. They will ' be 'granted common user with the Southern Pacific. Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern, even declared himself In favor of a common user part way over the Natron cut-off, or part way over the . Strahorn road. Southern Pacific officials are going to oppose thia common user, tooth and nail." The Southern Pacific-Northern Una com mon user Is a new angle in the situation. Carey Testifies JuJge Carey, the first witness ' called, under oatb, declared that the Northern linea did : not intend to go farther south than Klamath 1 Falls at this time. " Thia testimony upset rumors that announcement ot further southward construction from Klamath Falls by the Northern Unas into the California field Would come at this hearing. On the surface the hearing Is -being copducted along clean and courteous lines. Only occasionally did feeling creep up above the sur face. Charles A. Hart and Ben C. Dey, attorneys respectively for the Nor thern and Southern Pacific lines, are conducting the battle ot minda that is as keen and colorful as that of the recent Darrow-Bryan debates.
