Stop and Peace Conference Gets
Excited.
Paris, Aug. 28.-An informal
warning to Turkey that massacres of
Armenians must cease, given recently
BY Rear4Adniral Mark /. Br:sto'.
Commander Of the United States
Naval Forces in Turkey, caused some
thing of a furry in French Official
quarters and in the Supreme Coun-
eli of the Peace Conference, it de-
vcloped yesterday. In the council
here was reported to have occurred
sharp criticism of American inter-
ference in Turkey, through missions
and otherwise, despite the fact that
she United States had shown no dis
position to accept the mandate for
The administration Of any Turkish
territory. The impression prevailed
that in this case the United States
had acted alone in formal com
munication to the Turkish Govern
mant.
It was explained by the American
delegation, however, that the warning
was delivered informally by Admiral
Bristol several days ago that no for
mll note was sent but merely an in
fornlal statement, the United States
alSne not attempting to speak for the
Peace Conference.

After the meeting, Mr.. IRE ex
pressed his opinion that the city
council is limited by law to Oman;
in the selection of a new chief o

General Woods letter contained
recommendations for a reorganiza-
ton of the police department, stat
ing that the present force is made

of 100 more men. The general ex-
pressed his opinion that an increase
of salary for policemen was essen
tial to obtain "the satisfactory type
o. men," The purchase of police
equipment was referred to in de-
tail.
The letter further stated that the
withdrawal of some troops had been
ordered; that some soldiers would
be left here, subject to the recon-
of the governor. He
stated that all of the troops should
not be withdrawn until the city
government knows that it is pre-
pared to assume effectively the en-
tire control of the local situation"
May Select Man.
The general, in his letter, advised
the council that the names of sew
eral expert police officials will be
sent to Omaha, that the council may
select man to aid in the reorgani-
cation of the police department.
General Wood referred to the
honesty and character of the rank
and file Of the police department,
and added that he believed an ex-
cellent spirit of order prevailed
among the citizenship Of Omaha.
Col. J. E. Morris was mentioned
as being in command of the troops,

court house and other important
points to prevent repetition OF the
mob violence of last Sunday. These
troops will be continued until such

is no longer necessary. This should
not be done until the city govern

the local situation.

II have requested that the names
of several thoroughly expert police
officials be furnished your commit

organization and rigid practical
training in its duties. | am impress

General Woods Letter.
General Woods communication
to the council follows:
ITO the Honorable the Mayor
and the City Council:
Gentlemen:
"You are all familiar with the un-
fortunate occurrences which have
recently taken place in Omaha, and
appreciate the need of certain radi-
cal changes in the organization,
equipment and strength of the po-
lice force.
Il am of the opinion, after care
full investigation, that the police
force of Omaha is entirely made
quate for the proper protection of
the city, with its population of
10000, its numerous industries, and
immense amount of private proper
ty. The area covered by the city
is very large and the police are now
called upon to perform an impos-
sible feat. l find single policemen
dIC Sdlfcu upon 10 SOVcI lou DlOSkS.
As ! have recommended to you, it
is imperative that the force be in
creased by at least 100 men, and
! believe that you will find it nee
essary to increase the salary OF
patrolmen to at least SIPS per
month if you are to secure the salts
factory type of man.
Should Standardize Arms.
"The arms and ammunition of the
police should be standardized and
should be provided by the city. The
force should be equipped with at
least $50 As caliber u. S. type of
revolvers, 50 riot guns, two machine
guns, and ample motor transport to
enable police reserves to be thrown
quickly to any portion of the city.
These recommendations have al
ready been submitted to you in
formally and | understand that they
meet with the approval Of your
members. l have already asked the
War department to authorize the

only 200 feet and with that theory
in mind deeds were executed, laid
out, and streets opened. After 50
years the court has decided that the
right-of-way was 400 feet and that
the railroad company had no right
to ALLEVIATE it.
While recent act OF congress
passed several years ago sought to
remedy this difficulty the supreme
court held that the portion Of the
act which came under the jurisdic.
ton OF that tribunal had no legal
effect excepting that it validated the
title in all cases where the railroad
company had conveyed part Of its
right-of-way by deed. The effect
of this was to give the Union Pacific
right-of-way resembling a check
erboard. The Lincoln highway
across the continent is located in a
number of cases on the strip in dis
pute and the principal object of the
measure is to permit the railroad
company to convey to the public
portions of its right-of-way upon
which the highway is located.

EVIDENCE FOR
GRAND JURY IS
BEING SIFTED
Special lnquisitoriaI Body to
sit Wednesday
Corpus Proceedings Are
of No Avail.

District court room No. 8, fourth
floor Of the court house, northeast
! corner, is being prepared for the
sitting of the special grand jury
called to return indictments in the
riot and lynching cases OF week
| ago Sunday night. 1t will begin
sessions Wednesday morning at IL.
The jury was drawn last Tuesday,
following meeting of the seven
district court judges.
Twenty-three names were drawn
| by Election Commissioner Moor
| head from the voting lists and no.
tees have been served on all these.
With each summons went an order
to refrain from telling anyone of
being drawn for the grand jury. The
law hedges the grand jury around
with great secrecy and it is a peni-
Tertiary offense to make public the
names Of the grand jurymen before
they have assembled in the jury
room.
To Select Sixteen Names.
When the Is men have assem-
bled Is names will be drawn from
the q and these will sit as the grand
jury TO hear evidence and return
true bills" against those accused
of implication in the burning of the
court house, attempted lynching of
the mayor, lynching of the negro
and other disorders of Sunday
night.
Twelve or more men on the
grand Jury can return an Indictment.
1t differs in this respect from a

Jury is unanimous in opinion. If
