PIONEER PAPER OF ARIZONA
Turks Adopt Pose
SMAEF EEJOMDER ISSUED
BY CURZON TO ffiSOTE OF
ISMET AS TURK APOLOGIST
(Associated Press Night "Wire)
LAUSANNE, Dec. 12. Ismet
Pasha, head of the Turkish delega'
tion, dashed the hqpes of the near
eastern conference for a speedy and
satisfactory settlement for the pro
tection or minorities in Turkey when,
in an address at this afternoon's ses
sion, he insisted upon an exchange
of the Greek populations in Anatolia
for the Turks in Macedonia. He de
manded exclusion of (all foreign in
terference in Turkey which he said
would protect for the remaining
minorities as the Turks had always
been able to get along with other na
tionals when they kept out of politics
and were not stirred up by outside
influences.
Ismet declared that Turkey would!
not accept Lord Curzon's proposal
to have the League of Nations ad
minister the affairs of the minorities,
as that would mean that the foreign
powers would continue their inter
ference in Turkish affairs and, en
courage the minorities to appeal to
the League of Nations.
The Turkish chief delegate review
ed the entire history of Turkey from
the time of the conquest of Constan
tinople. The Turks, he said, had
lived peacefully with the Greeks and
Armenians until a hundred years ago,
when the Russians began agitating
against the Mohammedans under the
pretense that Russia was the pro
tector of orthodox Christians 'in
Turkey.
Lord Curzon replied in a spirited
manner to Ismet, saying it was the
first time the conference had seen
the Turkish delegate as a historian,
and had always thought of him be
fore as a soldier and a diplomat.
The British secretary said the con
ference was . dealing with the affairs
of peoples in the greatest distress and
must find a solution for the problem
of the miserable refugees and with
out regard for ancient history, and
must frame a treaty which would
protect these unhappy people.

Mauro Carrero Admits Shooting of
Fellow Workman in Quarrel at
Smelter Change-Room.
Mauro Carrero, employe of the
United .Verde smelter at Clarkdale,
was sentenced to from one to ten
years at the state penitentiary at
Florence, for the shooting and killing
of Nasario Gomez in the smelter
change-room at Clarkdale November
18, according to a sentence imposed
yesterday when Carrcra pleaded guil
ty to charge of manslaughter before
Superior Judge Sweeney. Carrero
appeared in court yesterday morning,
pleaded guilty and through his at
torney, Neil C. Clark, waived time
of sentencing.
Carrero shot and killed Gomez on
November 18 when the two men
were coming off shift at the smelter.
They had quarreled, according to the
authorities, over a woman. Carrero
fired several shots at Gomez and
then fled.
While sheriff's deputies were
searching the hills in various parts
of the county, Carrero boarded the
early morning train at Jerome Junc
tion, thinking to escape; but on the
train was also Deputy Sheriff Bill
Fitzgerald and Pecos Edwards, state
livestock inspector for Yavapai. Fitz
gerald, who had Carrero's photo
graph on a passport, recognized the
fugitive and promptly placed him
under arrest.
A charge of murder against Car
rero was reduced to manslaughter,
in view of the fact that the shooting
had taken place in the course of a
fight and that Carrero pleaded self
defense. STANFORD TRACK

street where one accomplice was
awaiting in a motor car and an
other was standing guard to pre
vent outside interference. The five
men drove south at high, speed.

bandit car was later found aban
doned several blocks away.

The Yavapai County Chamber of
Commerce will go into next year
with its face to the future and with
a set of leaders tried and true. Last
night's annual meeting, marked by
the submission of. as comprehensive
a set of reports as could possibly be
desired, was terminated with the
election of the new and enlarged
board of directors whose job it will
be to meet the ever-increasing prob
lems of the expanding county.
Enough reports were submitted to
keep the new officers busy for the
whole year acting on the suggestions
and bringing about the larger
achievements aimed at by the outgo
ing administration at the time it bad
spent a full year on duty.
The record of President Heap,
Secretary Grace Sparkes and the de
partment heads is regarded from last
night's meeting as of sierlmg worth,
and an index of the gratitude of the
chamber of commerce is seen in the
fact that, the vote for new directors,
snread over 40 nominees to 16 of
fices was unanimous for Mr. Heap.
Miss Sparkes' report was brief but
covered every detail of the work. It
stands as a, monument to the labor
the office has had to perform during
the past week, and testifies also to
the excellent services of Mr. Jett,
the assistant secretary.
This and other reports- will be dis
cussed and in some measure, pre
sented to the readers of P.rescott
papers from time to time during the
coming week. The selection of the
