tend the'annual convention of the
America? Bankers' Association, which
In it? pleito?*-81"-? stagc deve,?Ped a
wide rtnge of interest and activity,
mt'de possible by meeting at the
financial center of the nation. In va?
ri?os hotel and clubrooms the machin?
ery of the convention went forward,
ic-oothly for the most part but with
?some promiBe of friction later, as the
delegates settled to their task, but
business for the day was secondary to |
the Investigation and study of banking '
and f;<*<*ai methods as presented in Now
York.
The great banking institutions of the
Street threw open their doors to the
out-of-town visitors, and those w?io
??ere not occupied with committee
meetings or sectional discussions took
full advantage of the opportunity of?
fered. The main event outside of the
tonvention center was the inspection
of the ?Stock Exchange, where it was
possible to observe the trading from
the galleries or to roam at will througn
the offices contributing to support the
lecnrity market about which so much
of the financial world revolves.
Reginald McKenna Entertained
An incident was the reception by
Seymour Cromwell, president of the
Stock Exchange, of the Right Honor?
able Reginald McKenna, chairman of
the London .Joint City and Midland
Bank and former Chancellor of the Ex?
chequer of Great Britain, who was sub?
sequently conducted to the floor, an
honor rarely conferred upon visitors.
V.T. McKenna was accompanied by
Thomas B. McAdams, president of tho
American Bankers' Association, and
Seward Prnjse*-, president of the Bank?
ers Trust Company. He was the guest
of Walter E. Frew, Mr. Prosser and
some of the older governors of tho
?change at the luncheon club, where a
buffet luncheon was served to somo
1,500 banker?.
The visit downtown was a new ex-!
Mrietice for some out-of-town bankers,
m A also enabled the renewal of old
re'at'uMhips with local financiers by
?any others. Its value lay in consid?
erable degree in the chance for ex
cbnring viewpoints and for checking
in.orraation on financial, industrial
and agricultural conditions. The
hanker, for example, who engages in
financing cotton on a small scale had
the opportunity to meet the banker
?hose operations in this industry mouaTt
into the tens of millions.

Jail Sentences for
11 Dry Law Violators
Jail sentences of from one to
five days were imposed yesterday
on eleven violators of the Vol?
stead act by Federal Judge Edwin
L. Garvin, in Brooklyn. The
court intimated that sentences of
increasing severity might be ex?
pected at his hands. The eleven
violators had pleaded guilty to a
man, and had expected clemency
because of this.
"Hereafter," said the court, "I
will impose jail sentences on all
violators of the act. Persons who
plead guilty will be given the
lightest sentences. Those con?
victed after trial will receive from
thirty to ninety days in jail each.
No favor will be shown any one,
and I will refuse absolutely to
listen to appeals in behalf of vio?
lators."

Nearly Upsets Truce
Mayor Hylan and George McAneny
sponsors of opposing transit plans, met
yesterday at the hearing before the
Board of Estimate on the. Mayor'?
$600,000,000 transit proposal. Mr. Mc
Aneny, chairman of the Transit Cora
mission, appeared in person for tin
first time, at the hearings! to champior
the commission's plan f>>r the Brook
lyn crosstown line, the particular par'
of the Mayor's plan under considera
tion yesterday. The result of the meet
ing between the city and state tr?nst'
leaders was unexpected.
The Mayor displayed a most docili
and conciliatory attitude fcpward Mr
McAneny and the Transit' ion
He even promised the chai ? ,,ii .tot t<
repeat some of his public statement
in regard to the Transit ('? . ission'
int-, tions and plan, which, Mr. Mc
Ane, ? declared, were founded on crroi
The Mayor almost promised entire co
operation with the commission in work
ing out a final plan and asked Mr. Mc
Aneny to appear ap;ain before th
board on October 1<> and explain hi
plan further. The Mayor laughed an
joked with the Transit Commissio
chairman and raised his hand at time
to quiet Murray Hulbert, president o
the Board of Aldermen and othe
members of the board/ who were in
clined to handle Mr. McAneny mor
roughly.
Mayor Wants Plan Made Clear
Mayor Hylan insisted upon Mr. Mc
Aneny repeating several times his e>
plar.ation of the financing of the pla
as proposed by the commission, declai
ing that he could not understand it.
"Let's get it clear," said the Mayo
"You can explain so evasively that
can't understand."
"I am trying to make it clear," sai
Mr. McAneny. "I will do my best."
"Yes, but you do it so cleverly," sai
the Mayor, "I can't get it through m
head." '
As the Transit chairman proeredc
to elucidate the plan for the Brookly
crosstown line the Mayor appeared \
catch on to the details and his fa(
brightened.
"I think your brightness is increa
ing," remarked Mr. McAneny.
"Yes, yes," said the Mayor. "Not
let us be nice. Let bygones be b;
gones. Let's wipe out the pa.st. \\
are not far apart on the routes and tl
necessity of this line. We only wni
to know where the nickels are goin
We just want to be protected."
"I forgive you." replied Mr. M
Aneny. ? "We will consider the pa;
wiped out."
"Now, let's see if we can wipe o'
the Transit Commission's past," inte
posed Borough President Riegelmar
of Brooklyn.
"No. no," said the Mayor, raising h
hand in warning to the Borough Pr?s
dent. ,
"The Transit Commission has had
short existence," said Chairman M
Aneny. "There is not much to wl;
out."
Stresses Crosstown Line
In explaining tha commission's pi;
for the Brooklyn crosstown line IK
McAneny pointed out that the pr
posed route differed little from th
suggested in the Mayor's plan. 1
pointed out some of the advantage
as he saw them, of the commissi
plan. He declared that the crosstoi
line was the most important, the mc
ambitious and the most useful of a
plan' laid down by the commission
far. The Mayor wanted to kn(
whether the commission proposed
operate it privately or municipally.
"That is not a point under discuss
at this time," replied Mr. McAne
"It will take four or live years to co
plete this subway, and that point n
well be determined at that time. Te
porarily I am for municipal owners!
and private operation."
The Mayor wanted to know how mi
the proposed line would cost acco
ing to the commission's estimates. 1
McAneny said that a two-track 1
would cost about $40.000,000. It wo
cost $30,000,000 to the Brighton Be;
line connection, he said, and about %}
000,000 to the Fourth Avenue subv
connection. A four-track line wo
cost about $68,000.000, he said.
"Do you think this line will pa;
asked the Mayor.
"I think it will pay immensely,'
plied Mr. McAneny.
"But if operated by private corpo
tions, they will get the profits," s
the Mayor.
"No," said Mr. McAneny, becai
their profits are limited under the d
contracts."
Subways Not Paying Now
The Mayor wanted to know if
present subways - had not paid. 1
chairman said it depended on w
that, meant. He said they had not p
dividends recently, but that he
lieved there had been about a $2,0i
000 surplus over operating cxpen

Broadcast Game Play by

Many Notables to Speak
Baseball's Famous Men
Likely to Address the
Audience of 1,500,000
By Jack Binns
Radio Editor The Tribune
Complete success is now assured for
the broadcasting by radiophone of
every play in the world's scries be?
tween the Yankees and Giants at the
Polo Grounds. By concerted efforts
yesterday the engineers of the West?
ern Union Telegraph Company and the
Westinghousc Electric and Manufac?
turing Company smoothed out the
minor difficulties that had to be over?
come before the first attempt at broad?
casting world's series could be a suc?
cess.
Now the stage is all set, ready for
Grantland Rice, The Tribune's noted
sport expert, to begin his description
of each game to an audience of a mil?
lion and a half.
Wires in Perfect Shape
Shortly before dusk yesterday engi?
neers of the two companies had com?
pleted one of the most remarkable
tasks ever accomplished in such a
short time. Every inch of the two
wires, especially set aside by the West?
ern Union, was gone over with testing
apparatus, and every extraneous noise
that would interfere with perfect
transmission was eliminated by one or
another of the many devices known to
the telephone engineer. Filters were
placed at some points and repeaters at
others, in order that nothing would
cheek the easy flow of current that
will carry Mr. Rice's voice from the
Polo Grounds to the Radio Corpcra
tion-Westlnghouse station, WJZ, at
Newark when the games start to-mor?
row, j
This work of preparing the wires
was accomplished under the joint su?
pervision of M. L. Moseley and T. J.
Smith, of the Western Union, and
C. W. Horn and J. C. Frazier. of the
Westlnghouse company. In the eve?
ning they announced that both wires
were in perfect shape for the impor?
tant project. )
The only remaining test to be made
now is the actual "hooking up" of i
the two wires to the radio transmitting !
apparatus at WJZ. This will be done
to-day during one of the broadcasting |
periods allotted to that station.
This test will last only a few j
minutes, and will be made to obtain
final assurance that everything is
ready.
Early in the morning the engineers
will install the three-stage amplifier
that will build up the voice of Mr. Rice j
in the Polo Grounds. This amplifier J
is so powerful that it will easily mag
nify all of the noises in the grounds
for transmission to the Newark radio !
station. Thus it is quito probable that!
at rare moments during the games !
when the vast crowd is fairly quiet, the j
sound of a bat hitting the ball may
be heard over the radiophone.
At Newark a similar amplifier will
again build up the voice currents in
order to make up for any losses that
may occur in transmission before they
are placed on the modulating system
of the transmitter. All of this work
has entailed a tremendous amount
of detail experimentation, which has |
been accomplished only because of
the unstinted co-operation between the
officials and staffs of the two compa?
nies. The transfer from the wire, to
the radio will be supervised by George
Bliziotis, chief operator at WJZ.
Personages May Speak
It is expected that during the games
all of the personages in the baseball
world will speak to the radio audience.
The owners and managers of the two
teams undoubtedly? will speak, and it
is probable, that the umpires will an?
nounce the batteries for each game,
provided it is possible to install the
microphone in a convenient place.
The tremendous interest in the un?
dertaking has already manifested it?
self in the number of letters received
concerning details for broadcasting the
games. In addition. to this," it is re?
ported that the rush for new radio
installations is virtually as great as the
demand for tickets to tho games.
Mr. Rice is "all set" for tho novel
experience, and has promised to be
at the games early in order to describe
the crowds, as well as the preliminary
practice of the two teams.
All is ready to go, on a wave-length of
360 meters.
Mob Kills Negro, Beats Score,
After Murder of Game Warden
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 2.?Ed?
ward Pearl, negro, was shot and in?
stantly killed; Herbert Miller, white,
wa3 shot in the hip, and a score of
negroes were beaten on the head and
dragged from streetcars in race
clashes here to-night.
An outburst of protest from white
citizens followed the capture of Joe
Terrell, a negro, charged with the mur?
der of George E. Wilson, a game ward?
en, who was shot Saturday night while
searching for Joe Glenn, a negro, who
was reported to havo shot and killed
Albert Sans-om, a policeman, last Satur?
day night. Mr. Wilson died in a local
infirmary thig morning, the announce
ment of his death being closely fol?
lowed by the gathering of a 100 or more
citizens at the county jail.
The mob grew in numbers 'during the
afternoon until it reached such propor?
tions that three companies of National
Guard were ordered out soon after dark
to guard the jail whero it wns feared
an attack would be made in an attempt
to lynch Terrell, who was brought, here
from Union Springs in the nixuvnoon.
The mob at the jail includes a thou?
sand or more persons and it was neces?
sary to call out the Fire Department to
disperse th?j crowd. Gathering in knots
of n hundred or more in various corners
of the business section, th? mob stopped
several negroes, the police reporting
that about a dozen were hit on the head,
but not seriously Injured. ?

I NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 2.?
j The aid of the Philadelphia Police De
j partment was enlisted 'to-day by the
I officials of Middlesex and Somerset
| counties in a search for certain facts
about a bundle of feminine wearing
? apparel received from the Hall home
! by a Philadelphia cleaning and dye?
ing company four days after the dis?
covery of tho bodies of the rector and
the choir singer.
Detective Charles Collins, of Prose?
cutor Strieker's staff, went to Phila?
delphia secretly and saw Lieutenant,
Belshaw, in command of the murder
squad there. He assigned Detective
! Sheller to assist Collins in getting in
! formation from Bornot's cleaning and
| dyeing establishment at Twelfth and
j Walnut streets.
Afterward it was learned from Lieu
I tenant Belshaw that clerks in Bor
?not's office remembered receiving this
j clothing, which they understood was
I the property of Mrs. Hall. The clerks
j said with the clothing they received
instructions to dye the garments black.
I None of the clerks, according to Lieu
! tenant Belshaw, recalled that the cloth
! ing was stained or spotted noticeably.
When Detective Collins was asked
about this phase of the investigation
upon his return to New Brunswick he
became enraged.
i Servant Examined
"This is the first real piece of news
! we'd got and somebody had to go and
I spill it," he complained, and refused to
! divul?e any further information. It
j was?-if "in after his return that detec
I tivesV'-ere sent to the Hall homo for
Louise Geist, a bob-haired servant.
! She was b.ought to the courthouse and
questioned at length.
Timothy Pfieffer, former Assistant
I District Attorney in New York, who has
been acting as Mrs. Hall's counsel, said
I to-night that Mrs. Hall turned over to
| Mrs. William? G. Bierman, a relative,
! a long brown nlst**r and scarf which
j she asked to be sent to tho Philadel
] phia establishment to bo dyed black.
This was on September 20, Mr. Pfieffei
| said, and the articles have not yet Leon
returned.
The chase to Philadelphia was but
one phase of the most active day the
I countv investigators have had since
I the discovery of the crime.
Pressure from Governor Edwards
was reflected in many ways, but in none
more clearly thai*, in another interro?
gation of Charlotte Mills, the fiiteen
year-old daughter of the murdered
woman. It was Charlotte's letter to
the Governor complaining against tho
failure to find the person who killed
her mother that moved Governor Ed?
wards to send state troopers her?.
Girl Gets Lawyer
One of Prosecutor Strieker's detec?
tives went to the high school and sum?
moned the girl from her class. She was
hurried to the courthouse and taken
into the office of the prosecutor. Later
in the afternoon Charlotte described
her experience.
"Prosecutor Beekman asked me why
I had complained to Governor Ed?
wards," she said.
"He asked me: 'Don't you think we
are hunting as hard as we can for the
murderer?' "
I replied: "No, I do not. I want the
murderer arrested."
Charlotte said she also informed
Prosecutor Beekman that she was sick
and tired of being taken to the court
house to be made to repeat answers to
a lot of "silly questions."
"I told him," declared Charlotte,
"that I was not going to submit to any
more abuse and that I had retained
Florence North, a woman lawyer, tc
protect me. Then they sent me back to
school."
While Mr. Beekman was talking with
Charlotte state troopers were making
the first complete official search that
has been made on the deserted farm
where the bodies were found. Ser?
geant Lamb. Corporal Frank Spearman
and trooper Henry Dickman, all oi
the Netcong troop of the New Jersey
Constabulary, divided the 150 acre tract
into zones before beginning a syste?
matic hunt for evidence.
Search Farmhouse
Working with reporters, they cleaned
out several wells, searched the farm
house, bas-ns and thickets. In one of
the bedrooms in the house they found
a strip of matting stained with what
at first was believed to be blood, but
which proved to be dark red paint.
County detectives who made what
they called a search of the house about
ten days ago ignored the red stain, al?
though it was beside the only bed in
the house from which the mattress was
missing. ,
During the day the troopers went to
the office of Prosecutor Strieker and
asked to bee the clothing that was re?
moved from Dr. Hall's body. It was
ehown to them.
It was after a conference between
the two prosecutors that Mrs. Addison

By Carter Field
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.?Answer t
the demands of hundreds of churc,
organizations that this country fight
if necessary, to protect Christians fron
the Turk, was made by the Adminis
tratfon to-day.
The answer came in a cablegrar
dispatched by Secretary of Stat
Hughes t.p Bishop James Cannon, o
tho Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in reply to a vigorous- cabl
sent by the Bishop to the Secretary.
"There has been no action by Con
gress which would justify this gov
ernment in an attempt by armei
forces to pacify the Near East or t>
engage in acts of war in order to ac
complish the results you desire witl
respect to the inhabitants of that ter
ritory and to determine the problem
which have vexed Europe for genera
tions," Mr. Hughes concluded.
Bishop Cannon was quoted in an in
terview given after sending the cabl.
as saying that war would be justified
He quotes himself as saying in ai
earlier interview: "Personally believi
Christian America will insist govern
ment United States co-operate active!;
to protect Christians in Asia Minor no'
only diplomatically but if necessar;
with army and navy to secure thii
result." ,
Hughes's Reply Called Mild
Secretary Hughes's reply asserts tha
this government has done all that i
could have done, short of war, whici
has not been authorized by Congress
to prevent outrages and to care fo:
the deported and oppressed. The nott
is actualy worded with extreme mild
ness, only once even pointing out tha
there may be two sides to the story
This (s when he mentions the "re
prisais effected," indicating that som<
of the actions of the Turks were in
spired by others committed by th?
Greeks or Armenians.
In Administration circles the beliei
that the Turks burned Smyrna, foi
example, is not taken seriously. The
prevailing opinion is that the town was
fired by Armenian refugees.
v A high spokesman of the Adminis?
tration made the flat statement to-day
that the government did not wish to
become involved in any war which
might arise out of this age old contro?
versy. It was pointed out also thEt
the Greeks in their retreat from Smyr?
na had devastated everything as they
fell back. Hence the allusion in the
note to Bishop Cannon to "reprisals."
Further, it was stated to be the belief
of the Adminstration that Congress, so
far from having authorized any war
acts, would not support participation
by military force in the effort to re?
strain the Turks, and that therefore
stronger words than have been used
already in an effort to bring about
peace might become very embarrassing
to this government if the Turks did
not choose to comply.
There were many allusions to-day
here in official circles to the strong
words put in the Lusitania notes, and
the resulting inability of this govern?
ment to accomplish anything by words
later on.
Administration Alarmed
There is no disguising the fact that
the Administration is considerably
alarmed not only over the Near East
situation itself, but ever the propa?
ganda which is sweeping over this
country in favor of this government
using force to restrain the Turks.
"We will do what we can without
going to war," said one high official.
"The situation is very difficult, but
there is a clean American attitude.
This is to exert our influence for hu?
manity, peace and protection of Amer?
ican interests. But to s^end troops to
the Near East in connection with other
matters would be to relate us to the
most difficult and dangerous European
entanglement.
"Our 'good people' should speak with
discrimination.' We are doing more
than any other people in relief work,
keenly interested in all questions of
humanity and the protection of minor

Britain to Call
On Greeks to
Leave Thrace
Concession To Be Asked in

London Predicts Mudania
Conference Will Help to

LONDON, Oct. 2.?Britain will insiit
that the Greeks get out of eastern
Thrace in return for a Kcmalist pledge
to keep away from Chanak, according
to a prediction here to-night. This
would be a recession from the govern
ment's first stand, but it could be made
without any embarrassment. The Mu?
dania conference to-morrow probably
will decide what form of administra?
tion is to be provided for the Thracian
districts given up by Greece, and Gen?
eral Harington, the British commander,
will be prepared to offer contingents
from his force.
Although the parley has been called
primarily to consider military ques?
tions, British officials believe it will
prove a move toward a peaceful solu?
tion of the whole tangled Near East
problem. General Harington will be
ready to make liberal concessions to
the Turkish Nationalists regarding
Turkish occupation of the neutral zone
at the Dardanelles during the proposed
Venice peace conference. Five generals
will sit around the table at Mudania.
From a British viewpoint the mo*t
satisfactory feature of" the situation
to-day is that England now has the
| largest military and naval force in the
i Near East, outside of Kemal's army,
and in consequence whatever she may
have to say in the negotiations for
peace will be backed by that much
weight. Lloyd George passed to-day
' in the country and there will be no
Cabinet meeting until after the arrival
of General Harington's report on the
Mudania gathering, which is not ex?
pected until Wednesday.
Former Premier Venizelos of Greece
saw Lord Curzon at the Foreign Office
to-night. His stay in London is only
temporary and he intends making his
headquarters at Paris.
Charges of atrocities by the Greeks
in Thrace have been lodged here and
they have been corroborated by dis?
patches from several sources.
LONDON, Oct. 2 (By The ?Associa?
ted Press).?Tho Turks have evacu?
ated Kara-Bigha and retired from the
neutral zone at this point, says a dis?
patch to "The London Times" to-day
from Constantinople. On the other
hand, the dispatch says, Turkish in?
fantry have appeared within the neu?
tral "zone at Bergaz, eighteen miles
northeast of Chanak, and at Kusu
Keui, twelve miles south.
The Turkish Nationalist Assembly
at Angora has unanimously approved
the action of Mustapha Kemal Pasha
and has authorized the dispatch of
delegates to Mudania and later to the
peace conference, according to a Cen?
tral News dispatch from Constanti?

Woman Seeking Death Gives
Battle to Rescuers on Bridge
A woman bent on suicide and* tvf
men determined to save her. swaye
about 5 p. m. yesterday iu a flerc
straggle on the eastboumi ?l?vate?
tracks on the Queensboro Bridge
Pedestrians on the prom-ena-de ? arw
motorists in the roadway watched thi
contest, transfixed with horror at thi
sight of the frantic trio on the ties, ii
danger of the river below and th<
deadly third rail at their side.
The men's strength prevailed aftei
two or three minutes over the des
perate efforta of the woman, and thej
dragged her, dishevelled and scream?
ing, but too exhausted to fight longer.
for death, across the track and the
promenade to the safety of the road?
way.
At the Queensboro Bridge police
station the woman said she was Flor?
ence Murphy, a trained nurse, thirty
five years old. She said at first that
she lived at 810 Second Avenue, but
when it w&* found that no one of her
name was *> tenant of the house she
said her home was at 53 Aiken Street,
Paterson, N. J. She was sent to the
-cv-chopathic ward of Bellevue Hos?
pital.
The men who saved her at the risk
of their own lives are Patrolman Wil?
liam Brod, of th? Queensboro Bridge
precinct, and Charles Flinspach, of 194
Fourteenth Avenue, Astoria. Flins?
pach was crossing the bridge toward
Manhattan in his own car when he saw
the woman dart from a taxicab bound
,in,the opposite direction as it ap?
proached the Long Island shore, cross
the promenade and begin the danger?
ous passage of the elevated tracks.
With a shout to the driver of the taxi,
who drove on, Flinspach stopped his
car and started in pursuit of the wom?
an. Patrolman Brod also had seen her
race for the guard rail of the bridge
and joined in the chase.
The woman had climbed to the rail?
ing and was poised to leap when the
men seised her and pulled her back
to the track. Then came the fight to
save her, with the river gleaming far
below between the ties, the third rail
an inert menace at their sides and an
approaching train whistling for right
of way.
In the excitement no one noticed the
number of the taxicab, but in the hope
that the woman had left in it a hand?
bag which might contain some clew
to her identity the police began to
search for the car. The woman was
so overwrought that no information
which the police regarded as reliable
could be obtained from her.

-
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 2 (By
?The Associated Press).?The Kemal
j ist proposals, which will be laid for?
mally before the Mudania confer?
ence to-morrow, are "discussable, but*
not acceptable."
This was the decision of tho
extraordinary council, which met at
the British Embassy this afternoon.
It included the Allied high commis?
sioners, ambassadors, generals and
admirals.
Henri Franklin - Bouillon, tho
French envoy, through whose efforts
with Kemal Pasha the conference?
was made possible, expressed his
confident belief to the correspondent
this evening that an agreement would
be reached to-morrow at Mudania.
"Kemal will make an even greate?
effort for peace than he has made for
war," he said.
Two Issuer Dominant
Two of the most important questions
to be discussed at the. conference will
be demarcation of 3 new neutral sons
on the Asiatic' shore of the Darda,
r.elles and at Ismid and tbe evacuation
of Thrace.
The Allies ? .' that Kemal's de?
mands as outlir .?J by Franklin-Bouillon
are of such a nature that the Angola
Assembly would thereafter be in a po?
sition to reject the Allied note. Kem;\l
Pasha insists on settlement r?f all mili?
tary questions before replying to the
Allied proposals. He and four of the
ministers at Smyrna accepted the ?1
1 lied note in principle, but the attitu?-*?
i of the Angora Assembly is not known,
| The Allies feel that Kemal's demands
: could have been made with better grace
| if the Allied note had been fully In- ^
? dorsed by his government. Kemal's^B
?armistice terms make no reference to >i?H
neutral zone or neutrality of thi*>^|
Straits, but the opinion of the Allied
Council was that the moM; important
question to be discussed to-morrow
would be the establishment of a pro
| visional neutral line at Cn ?nak, as sug
' gested by General Harington's latest
! note to the Turkish Nationalist leader.
It must be remembered that tho
; Mudania conference is military, not
?political, but. the evacuation of Thrace
? is largely under the latter category an?!
i is hardly considered a matter to be de?
cided upon by the Allied generals
?alone.
Allied Jealousy Revealed
It was decided this evening that th?
j armistice conference must take place
i ashore at Mudania, instead of on one
of the Allied ships. This decision was
reached principally because the Allies
were unable to agree, even on such a
I minor question as to which should
! have the honor of acting as host of
the conference. Each apparently
feared that the holding of tno co*o
ference aboard one of the other's
ships would give that nation a dis?
tinct advantage in the session and In
the report of that session which would
reach the outside world.
Hamid Bey, representing the Angora
government, accompanied by Franklin-*
Bouillon, will depart to-morrow morn?
ing for Mudania on the cm:ser Metz*
General Mombelli, who will represent
Italy at the conference, will proceed
on the Victor Emmanuel; General
Sharpie, for France, on th?? Jean Bait,
and General Harington on tho Iroo
Duke.
The Mudania conference will be-'
gin at 1 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
The British naval authorities hav? or?
dered the cessation of all marine traffic
in the neighborhood of Mudania, and,
newspaper correspondents are to be ex?
cluded from the meetings. Daily com?
muniques will be issued on the result*
of the conference and transmitted by
wireless t? Constantinople.
Ismid Is Outranked
General Harington's consenting to
meet Ismid Pasha instead of Mustapha
Kemal is causing much comment.
There is a vast difference in thei?
ranks, General Harington being com?
mander in chief of the Allied forces,,
while Ismid is only secon'd in com?
mand of the Nationalist army.
Ifc is learned that Franklin-Bouillon
has secured Kernel's pledge to suspend
military movements during the armis?
tice conference, provided the Allie?
accept the following conditions:
1. Formal guaranties concerning th?
evacuation of Thrace.
2. The establishment of Allied gar?
risons in the larger towns of Thrace.
3. The occupation of Thrace by Turk??
ish Nationalist gendarmerie.
4. Transfer of the civil administra*
tion of Thrace to Kemalist functioa?!
aries.
5. Evacuation of Thrace within ?lghf
days by the Greek army.
6. Occupation of the western line o#
the Maritza River by Allied troops.
Turks Cross Thracian Border
A band of 800 Turkish irregular*)
crossed the border of Thrace at SfneklUj
to the northwest of Siliv? (forty mile?
west of Constantinople), and attacked
the Greek outposts. These were beinf
forced to withdraw when reinforce?
ments arrived, and the Turks wer?
j thrown back across the boundary.
Ali men between the ages of thirt*
and fifty in that part of Thrace which
is under the jurisdiction of the Coy
stantinople government are being re*
cruited for the Turkish army.
