THE SALE OF BATTLE
SHIPS TO GREECE-DIP-

TRIES CALL ON PRESI-
DENT
BOTH ARGUE THAT WAR
MAY BE PREVENTED BY
ACTION EITHER WAY

Washington, June 22.-With the
Turkish government formally pro-
testing against the proposed sale of
the American battleships Mississippi
and Idaho to Greece. rumblings of
war between Greece and Turkey were
carried today to the White House.
The diplomatic representatives of the
two countries called on President Will
son within a few minutes of each
other-one to urge and the other to
oppose the warship deal. Greece takes
the position that If she buys the yes
sells the balance of power in the Med
iterranean will be preserved and peace
maintained, while Turkey claims that
peace can be guaranteed by the refusal
of the United States to aid in aug
menting her rivals naval force.
President Wilson told callers ear
lier in the day that he favored the
sale of the battleships TO Greece be-
cause it had been represented to him
that such action would be in the in
terest of peace. He said that If he
thought the vessels would be used in
an immediate war he would not con-
sent to their sale.
The question of the battleships is
TO come up in the House tomorrow on
a Senate amendment TO the naval ap-
preparation bill

ASK INJUNCTION
AGAINST BUILDINGS
WHERE LIQUOR SOLD

Portland, Me-, June 22-There was
hearing before Justice George E. Bird
of the supreme judicial court this fore
noon IN the demurrer Of the defendant
in the bill of equity of Everett G. scully
and others against John p. Sullivan, in
which the plaintiffs asked that an in
junction be issued against the main
tenance of an alleged liquor nuisance at
the corner of Free and Center streets.
Hearings were held in this case last Sep
TENDER, and a temporary injunction was
ordered TO issue, which is still in force.
The next move will be for the granting
of permanent injunction. The demurrer
was included in the defendants answer
to the bill of complaint
Counsel for the defendant represented
that certain Amendments to the bill filed
by the plaintiffs were not under oath,
and that these facts were material to the
maintenance of the bill. The defendant
therefore argued that as these state
ments were not under oath the case
should be decided upon the basis of the
original petition, in which the defendant
urged in support of his demurrer, it is
merely alleged that Sullivan was the
owner of the building during a certain
period and that during that period a liq-
uor nuisance was maintained there, and
the defendant Urged that the petitioners
should show that the alleged nuisance
was maintained with mis- knowledge and
consent.
Oral arguments on the demurrer were
made this forenoon by William A. Con
nellan representing the defendant and w
j. Knowton representing the petitioners
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Bird took the matter under advisement
and will render his decision later.
y peculiar circumstances in connection
with the case is the death of the first
petitioner, Everett G. Scully. which has
occurred since the granting of the tenn
porary injunction, but this point was
not raised at the hearing this forenoon.

LINER WAS MOVING
GIVES OPINION THAT
COURSE OF THE COLLIER
WOULD LEAD TO WRECK

Quebec, June 22.-That neither
Capt. Kendall of the Inflated liner
Empress of Ireland nor Alfred Tufte-
mes. first officer of the Storstad. had
Indicated on maps the same spot where
a government investigator claims the
shattered hull of the linerN now lies,
was the most important point of the
testimony heard today by the Do
minion Commission investigating the
collision This developed when Capt
Gagnon of the department of marine
and fisheries was called upon to es-
tablish the position of the hull. capt
Gagnon marked the spot where the
collision occurred. When he filed
this exhibit it was discovered by the
commission that Capt. Kendall had in
Dictated the collision occurred about
mile and a quarter to the north OF
the spot where the hull lies and. that
Tuftenes gave a spot a few miles to
the southeast.
Mr.. Haight Of counsel for the own
ers of the Storstad in pointing out the
discrepancy, argued that he was of
the opinion that the course of the
Storstad as given by her officers would
lead te the sunken liner. In reply to
Chief Justice McLeod's comment that
it was the contention of the owners
of the Storstad that the Empress was
moving a the time of the collision
and that If such was the case it would
have been possible for her to have
moved some distance after she was
struck. MIR. Haight said that the fact
that the passengers did not have time
to dress and go on deck before the
liner went down, proved that she
could not have gene more than a ships
length or two
