WARDEN MURPHY is TO
RECEIVE DISCHARGE
Change Is Made, Says Govern
or Because Expenses Pile
Up Unnecessarily.

Before the first of the new year War
den Charles A. Murphy of the state
penitentiary will be discharged and
Robert l.. Stevens, formerly sheriff of
Multnomah county and now living in
New York, will be appointed to the
Ilace.
Announcement to this effect was
made today by Governor Withycombe,
who said that he was making the
change in wardens because of the fail
ure Of Warden Murphy to hold down
the expense of maintaining the prison.
Prior to the recent election it was
predic,od that Warden Murphy would

cause of the friction between him and

ply. The governor bases the change en-
tirely on what he terms the inability
Of Warden Murphy to manage the insti-
tuition on business basis.
"While / have high regard for
Warden Murphy as man. said the
governor today, "therc is something
lacking at the institution. The expense
has been piling up in manner which

The governor pointed to the prison
eommissary as one of the places where
thcre were big leaks. He said the con

they take out things and distribute
them among the convicts.
There is d lack Of close discipline

Washington, Nov. 2l--Disposition of
Constantinople is beino discussed in
formally by allied statesmen and diplo-
mats, it was learned today. This pro-
misses to be one of the most vexing
questions confronting the peace confer
ence.
President Wilson has expressed the
belief that the Dardanelles, the Bosph-
orus and the strategic heights dominat-
ing the water passages, should be in
ternationalized. But some allied sta
tesmen express doubt as to whe ether the
Turk win be driven from Constanti'

Greece, through Premier Vcnizelos,
now in Paris, is demanding expulsion
of the Turk from Europe. Many He'll
enic statesmen and diplomats are point
ing to the historic rosition of Constan-
tinople as the capital Of the ancient
byzantine empire in proof of their con-
tention that Greece receive this valued
point.
British View Differs.
The British view is that while much
can be said for the election Of the
Turks from Constantinople, it must be
considered that more than one half Of
the population Is Turkish. The British

Two of the Americans who arrived

Work Day And Night.
French and American Red Cross anits
are working day and night to aid the
prisoners They are also caring for
great numbers Of civilian refugees
Among the latter were two boys OF
II, who had been prisoners for four
years. One had boche helmet he had
carried about with him two years. The
returning prisoners mostly are French.
They are attired in a nondescript garb,
garnered, it would seem, from all the
armies of the world. Some had German
overcoats, American hats and French
and British tunics and trousers, or any
other kind obtainable. Upon their ar
rival in Paris, they are all given hot
meal. American Red Cross workers dis
tribute woolen socks and underwear
among them and furnish all with cigar
cites.

Only the strongest are able to reach
the city. After walking scores of miles
and sleeping in the open, many col
lapsed before they were met by the
