PARIS. France, October 22.-Most of

fighting in the regions Of Sulaimanies.

is estimated that the number Of Turkish
irregulars will soon be between 30, 900
and 10000. Some 10000 Of these re-
ceived their arms and ammunition from
the British during the latter's campaign
against the Turks. These rifles. pre-
viously used on behalf Of the British,
Rave now been turned against them.
There is nothing particularly political
in the maneuver. During the war most
Of the sheikhs received a certain stipend
in gold from the British politicals in
upper Mesopotamia. This was a war
measure. The sheikhs in return not
only kept their tribes from harassing
the British in their campaigns against
the Turks. Soon after the armistice
the British paymasters closed up shop.
The incomes Of the sheilkhs having stop
ped. they called their tribes together
and moved down on the British flank.
The Kurds made overtures to the Turks,
requesting financial help, and insisting
that it should be sufficiently large to
outweigh the financial aid offered by
the British. They sent several commu-
nications to the congress at Sivas. The
latter declined to give them money, but
gave them considerable advice to the
effect that 1t was time they stopped
selling themselves to the highest bidder;
that they should remember that they
were Moslems and Ottoman subjects
and that they owed a certain considera-
ton to their religion and country.
The fighting has been of a curious
character and usually at long range.
A group Of Kurds would sweep down
out of the mountains and attack a
British outpost with rifles and ma
chine guns. II the band was success

reported to have captured several can

WATER USERS VOTE
 O|V AMENDMENT

The fate of the drainage amend ment.' which purposes to authorize the Salt River Valley Water Users association to engage < in drainage operations whenever necessary or eX- pedient, will be decided today at the annual election of officers of the as sociation.
 There are still a number of share holders in the valley" said Superinten- dent Elliott, of the association, yes terday, who believe that the passage of the drainage amendment will en- tail an added expenditure on the part of the association and an increased tax on themselves. This is exactly what the bill will not do.
 The two principal reasons why the amendment should be passed" he added, are, first that if the lands of the Salt River Valley are thus as sured of protection against an under ground water menace. land values will go up and the investment of the as sociation will be protected; second, if there should be a continued rise in the level of the underground water it would be possible to save the land from ruination, an dthe project would be made secure.
 T nthe event of the amendment being passed, no money could be spent for drainage without the consent of the shareholders. Then, too, the asso- ciation would be careful to ascertain before undertaking any drainage op- erations, whether or no the proposed action would be worth the cast"

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 ATTACKED IN MOTION

Motion to again dismiss the now famous tax cases was filed yesterday in the supreme court. by Edward w. Rice, attorney for the International Shelter company and the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company. Te motions were supported by affidavits and memorandums that indirectly make strong attacks on the office of Attorney General Wiley Jones.
 Rice alleges that no copy of the re- cent Harben affidavit in support of re- instatement was served on him, that the law requires the attorney general to file abstracts of records within one month, and that he did not file them in nine months.
 The laws of the sovereign state, !" says Rice, "are not nullified by the Whims of the attorney general. Press of work, sporadiac illness of the office force, the engrossment of one deputy in his own personal plans are excuses that would relieve the attorney gen. erals office of all it's duties and would free all lawyers from their inexcusable neglect
