Urge Broad
i. Mandate
In Turkey
Investigators
Said to Favor Inclusion
of More Than Armenia
an d Constantinople

PARIS, Aug. 29 (By The Associated
Press).-The report of Charles r.
Crane and Hence c. King bearing on
their investigation of conditions in the
Near East has been submitted to the
American delegation in three sections.
The first relates to Syria, the second
to Mesopotamia, the third to non
Arabcspeaking Turkey.
The American commissioners said
their report does not necessarily ad-
wise United States mandate for all
Of Turkey, but it is believed from their
discussions that they have reported
that, IN their opinion, much more than
Armenia and Constantinople should be
included in the American mandate if
the United States decides to accept it.
Syrians Want Palestine
The report contains recommended
tions as to mandataries which the two
commissioners refuse to disclose, but
they discussed to-day with The Asso-
ciated Press the results of their con
ferences with delegations throughout
Syria and other parts of Asia Minor
HC ny idho 6Cicldliy IIOlu lndI
Palestine should be included in Syria
to afford a united country and oppose
the Zionist movement, under the con-
tention that the Jews form only 10
per cent of the population of Palestine
at the present time, and the Moslems
fear an influx from other countries.
The Syrian and all other peoples
regarded the American mission as a
means of taking plebscite and frank
ly expressed their views. which the
commissioners say probably would not
have been possible had an international
mission gone to Asia Minor. as the con-
ference contemplated. The French,
however, refused to participate in such
a mission, and because of French un-
willingness the British withheld dele
gates.
Apparently there is a majority sent-
ment throughout Turkey favoring for
eign mandates as the best means for re-
habilitating the country, and, except in
portions of Lebanon, where the French
are favored, the commissioners assert,
there seems to be an overwhelming
sentiment for United States mandate

Eue1' Drug Addicts
Get Strike Habit
Eight Refuse to Take Hy.
oscine 10 Treatment at
Hospital; Are arrested

The strike infection has spread to
the ranks of the dlug addicts. Eight
patients who voluntarily committed
themselves to Riverside Hospital re-
fused to submit to the hyoscinc treat
nent and were arraigncd in Nor
risiana court yesterday before
Magistrate Henry II. Curran on a
charge Of disorderly conduct. They
were William Mccarthy and David
Smo of Brooklyn; Emil Meyer, 1742
Broadway; Harry Pollack, 1872 Clare
mont Avenue; Charles j. Kuehn, 1874
West ll3th Street; Rudolph Propisil,
407 East Seventy-second Street; John
Flynn. 308 East Seventy fifth Street;
and Thomas Nichols, 10 West 134th
Street.
After hearing the testimony Magis-
trate Curran committed all but Pro-
pisil, who is returned soldier. to the
workhousc hospital on Blackwell's Isl
and for further treatment Propisil was
taking of testimony, which lasted all
day, DR.. John w. Crawford, resident
physician at Riverside, had to give the
patients morphine twice.
DR.. Crawford, the complainant. told
Magistrate Curran that the eight men
had heard that the hyoscine treatment
was doing more harm than good. He
SAID they cited a case where one man
got broken eardrums from it's use.
DR.. Crawford pointed out that as drug
addicts were very susceptible to such
propaganda, he did everything in his
power to keep it from the other pa
tlents. When the eight disturbers of
the peace refused to listen to reason
and threatened to alarm other patients,
il was decided to segregate and arrest
them, declared DR.. Crawford.
The hyoscinc treatment, the physi-
clan said, was a mild form of "twi-
light sleep" which counteracted the
effects of drugs, leaving the patient in
a state Of scmi-coma for forty eight
hours. Thirty-eight days was the time
necessary to cure the patient, he said.
kuohn. who said he was an actor
and q member O. the Actors Equity
Association, told the magistrate he was
taking advantage Of the strike to be
cured. Propisil, the ex-soldcr. said he
became an addict as the result of being
gassed during the Argonne drive
Commenting on the ARA ignment of
the addicts, Dr. Royal S. Copeland,
Health Commissioner, said last night he
thought Magistrate Curran had done
the best thins possible
THE other patients are quite salts
fled so far" he said. 1--WE have moved
nearly 400 into the hospital in the last
week. Hyoscine is simply an anaesthet-
is that sends them into a coma. 1t
does. not occasion any pain. or suffer

Tenants Form Soviet and
Run House, Says Owner
Apartment Reds so Belligerent
He Can't Go Near Place,
He Tells Court

A victim of the power of the soviets
fed from the domination of the prole-
tariat into Harlem court yesterday
and demanded that Magistrate Simms
appeal to the President or somebody
to dissolve the Red republic that had
been formed at 1894 Park Avenue.
According to the refugee, who said
he was Abraham Levow, and had owned
the apartment house at the above ad-
dress until his tenants told him he
didn't, something had to be done i'm
medately
The tenants, he said had got tired
paying rent and had formed a soviet.
1t was belligerent soviet, he added.
with a battalion of death headed bv
certain women tenants. Things had
got to such a state, he moaned, that
ne didn't dare go near his property. AS
proof OF the determination of the new
republic, he submitted that its forces
had even invaded the janitors quarters
and defeated him.
Tears stood in Mr.. Levow's ewes as
he recited the elimination Of the
tragedy. The leaders of the battalion
OF death, he said, had collected $500
rent and he hadn't seen a nickel Of it.
The social revolution, it was brought
out IN court, came about through the
serving of dispossess notices on the
tenants by Levow. The tenants held
a meeting, recruited a Red Guard and
then marched triumphantly through
the building, shouting "The Bolsheyiki
are in control"
The accused women were represented
by counsel who, after listening to the
landlords charges, asked for an ad
Journment till September 4, which was
granted.

Hines Warning and
Arguments of Brother
hood Officials; Strike
in 3 States Is Ending

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29-Heeding
the announcement of the government
that it would run the trains at all
costs after o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and the determination of United
States Marshal c. T. Walton, of Los
Angeles, that trains would be given
adequate protection. railroad strikers
were beginning to return throughout
Southern California tonight.
What was regarded as a critical sit
uation in fruit transportation in
the Fresno district was saved when
the striking yardmen and switchmen
decided to return. After a visit by
A. F. Whitney, q vice president of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
striking workers at San Bernardino
agreed to resume work.
The strike throughout centra! Cali
fornia, which had paralyzed overland
and regional transportation for two
days, reached its final stages of COL
to the passeNgcr and freight terminals
in San Francisco.
Trainmen Resume Work
Tranmen were reported to have re-
sumcd work at Needless Cal The situ-
alton at Barstow was considered grave
1t was stated that trainmen there fatty
refused to obey orders of officers Of
the railroad brotherhoods.
After a conference with NJ. +. Mont
gomery, a representative Of the engi-
neers, Mr.. Whitney said he was certain
the men would return to work before
uo fai%
being influenced "by persons with Boil
shevist tendencies"
"The strike is illegal and bsolutely
without sanction of the bro;herhoods, 7"
he said 81 hope the men will return
TO work If they don't their places
will be taken by other members Of the
brotherhood, who can be summoned
here in short order"
Operation of trains on the Southern
roads will start tomorrow morning at
7 o'clock, officials of these roads an
nounced.
Trains to Have Protection
Railroad officials said trains would
be operated with crews available under
government protection if the maj jority
of the men do not report.
1t was stated rift in the ranks Of the
strikers existed, the conservative e!e-
ment favoring return to work, while
the radicals favored holding out until
the object for which they struck-the
reinstatement of Pacific electric train
men who are on strike, with full SEMI
ority rights-is attained.
Robert j. O'Connor. United States
District Attorney, announced here that
he was preparing to ask warrants in
the cases of all men alleged to have
interfered with the operation of the
mails or to have delayed the handling
Of perishable foodstuffs. He said COM
plants would not be asked against
those who had returned to work before

.ylan Hints
Nix0n's S Act
Was Crime
| IL S structs Corporation
Counsel Burr to Fight
Order Raising Fares on
the North Shore Line

Mayor Hylan yesterday threatened
Public Service Commissioner Nixon
with removal by the Governor unless
he rescnded his order of Thursday in
creasng the rate of fare on the troll
lev cars of the New York & North
Shore Traction Company.
Commissioner Nixon replied that he
was not rubber stamp and would not
be intimidated by the Mayors threats
and invited him to take the matter to
the courts.
The Mayors answer was a letter to
Corporation Counsel Burr. in which he
said Commissioner Nixon had acted in
deliberate disregard of the law. He
quoted Section 1856 Of the Penal Code.
saying he believed Commissioner Nixon
had violated its provisions. This car
ries penalty of two years imprison-
ment, $1,000 fine, or both. He also
directed that the officials Of the trolley
line in question be directed not to
charge the increased fare lest they also
be liable to criminal prosecution.
New Rates Enforced
John G. Moran, secretary and vice
president of the railway company,
when the letter of the Mayor to the
Corporation Counsel was called to his
attention said:
I'VE shall continue charging the new
schedule of rates established by the
Public Service Commission. If we did
not do SO we would be violating the
law. And we are not aware of any
statute which would make US law
breakers for complying with the law"
Politicians are waiting for the
next move, declaring that it will
bring the long smouidering fight be-
tween Mayor Hylan and William Ran
dolph Hearst on the one hand, and
Governor Smith, on the other. into the
open. Nixon is Smiths appointee.
The Governor came to town unex-
pectedly last night and had confer
ences, it was understood, with those
familiar with the situation. He will
unless his plans change, return to
Albany this morning.
The Mayors letter to the Corpora
tion Counsel follows:
Public Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon has issued an order permitting
the New York & North Shore Trac-
ton Company to charge large in
crease over the hve-cent fare, which is
the maximum the company is permitted
to charge under the franchise granted
by the city Of New York
