RUMORS REGARDING
FAIL OF BRUSSA
CURRENT in TURKEY

Constantinople, July 4.-(By the
Associated Press. )-Crowds dancing
in the American embassy today in
celebration of the Fourth Of July,
heard many rumors that Brussa, in
Asia Minor, 81 miles southeast of
Constantinople had been taken by the
Greeks, who yesterday were within 35
miles of the town. British warships
are concentrated off Mudania. and
Guemlek and it is rumored hat they
have landed men, including marines,
and also that they may be Smelling
Brussa.
The crowds. at the reception in the
embassy, also heard that Damad
Feridi Pasha had resigned the grand
viziership and that he was on his way
back to Constantinople from Paris,
having advised the sultan that in con-
sequence of the treatment of Turkeys
observations on the peace treaty by
the peace conference, it was impos.
sible for him to retain Office.
The Turkish officials are saio to
have deserted Brussa several days ago,
carrying their archives to Eski-
Shehr.
Bandits are so active in all direc-
tons about Constantinople that for.
eigners have been warned by the Al.
lied commissioners to keep within the
limits of the European city.

LONDON PAPERS
COMMENT ON
CONVENTIONS

London, July 7.-Newspapers of
London in commenting on the Chicago
and San Francisco conventions this
morning, devote more attention to fu-
ture relations between the United
States and Great Britain than upon
the bearing the conventions will have
on the domestic affairs of America.
There is nothing in the declared
policy Of either Mr.. Cox or Mr.. Hard
ing to disturb the most cordial rela-
tions between the two countries" says
the Morning Post. which also ex-
presses pleasure that political deal
ings with the Irish question in the
United States have not affected our
natural friendship and there is now
good hope they will not be allowed to
do so"
Most newspapers touch very lightly,
or ignore, the Irish plank adopted at
San Francisco, but the Morning Post
remarks:
American politicians do not scruple
to serve their WI ends by resorting
to ~expedients which they know are
offensive to the British nation"

CHECKING OF
SUFFRAGE MOVE
HATTEMPTED
Injunction to Prohibit Colby
From Issuing Proclama-
ton Sought.

Washington, July 7.-Proceedings
asking hat cambridge Colby, secre-
tary of state, be enjoined from issu-
ing any proclamation declaring the
suffrage amendment ratified were in:
stituted in the District Of Columbia
supreme court today by Chas. S. Fair
child of New York, president Of the
American Constitutional league.
Mr.. Fairchild also seeks to prevent
forcing the amendment. Justice
Bailey issued a rule on Secretary
Colby and the attorney general to
show cause July 10 why the motion
should not be granted.
The basis Of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification Of the
amendment by the West Virginia leg
islature will was illegal because ac-
complished by fraud and that the pro-
posed ratification by the Tennessee
legislature also would be illegal on
authority under states constitution to
act on the Isl
Only 35 states have ratified the
amendment and as ratification by one
other is necessary, the attack on the
amendments through the courts at
this time came as a surprise in
suffrage circles here. An attack on
the legality of the action of the Ten
nessee legislature had been expected
but not until the legislature had acted.
In anticipation Of such a move by
the ~anti-suffrage forces the organiza-
ions supporting the amendment have
urged early action by more than SO
states so hat the amendment could
become operative in time tt permit
the ome to vote in the presidential
election this year. :

the industry, from mine via railroad
to final disposal by the sales corpora
ton, must be examined before anyone
can say just what are the profits de-
rived from anthracite.
Our contention is that such an ex-
animation of the books Of the anthra-
cite coal combination is essential to
the settlement of his controversy on
the basis of justice.
Where PROFIT Lies.
THE profits of the anthracite in
-dustry are to be found in the profits
of the anthracite railroads and in the
profits OF h sales companies con-
trolled by the stockholders. To these
must be added the millions of dollars
which go a year to those who hold
the tens Of millions Of bonded in
debtedness which have resulted from
the financing of the industry.
The point which we wish to make
is that a well defined process exists
by which the profits OF the anthracite
industry are successfully concealed,
the high prices being explained by
apparent high costs. The losses Of
the railroad coal companies are writ
ten into the cost OF Transportation
through advances without interest and
through h funding operations which
impose large fixed charges upon the
railroad department. The high freight
rates which sue inflated Transports
ton costs seem 10 justify are written
into the cost OF anthracite and serve
to bridge the q between the mine

Will Get Chance To
Present Arguments
On North Waterway

Detroit, Mich, July Fourteen
central western states favoring the
projected lakes-to-the-sea marine
highway will be given a full chance
to present their arguments at the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater
congress here July 22-24.
Spokesman for commercial, indus
trial and agricultural interests of the
central west will attend the congress.
More thar $500 delegates from the
United States and Canada are ex-
pected.
The speakers include a large num-
Der of professional men. Two more
garding the project were pointed out
here today by members of the Tide
water association. One of these is an
impression that to complete the en-
terprise, engineering work on a large
scale at various points from the head
of Lake Superior to the sea coast,
must be undertaken. The other is a
belief that with the opening of the
waterway, lake vessels will begin to
ply between lake ports and Europe.
Both of these impressions are err
roneous," said w. H. Adams, chair
man Of the local committee on inland
waterways. 1.-THE engineering work
involved at present has to do only
with the r~ectifcation of 46 miles Of
Ile ST. Lawrence river eIWee Lake
Ontario and Montreal. It is probable
the engineers will recommend that
this be lone through construction of
four dams to drown out the rapids,
converting the river into a series of
lakes. 1t has been estimated that the
enterprise will cost $3.50, 1000, 900 and
that it can be completed in five years
Opening of the waterway, Mr.. Ad-
ans said, will not mean that lake car
! riers will go through to Europe; they
are not built for ocean travel, he ex-
planned. What it will mean." he
continued" is that every lake port
will become an ocean port, n the
continent will acquire the service Of
the worlds merchant fleets"
In discussing the estimated cost Of
the undertaking, Mr.. Adams said thai
the four dams would develop more
than 100000 horsepower, which wher
commercialized would within two
years more than equal the cost of the
opening Of the route. Utilization o.
this hydro-power, he added, would
mean coal conservation in xcess o.
! SO, 900, 900 IONS annually.
Opposition to the proposed under
taking thus far has come chiefly from
New York. Mr.. Adams expressed thu
belief hat most of this opposition
would disappear with a more thor
ough understanding Of how much o.
the hydro-power would naturally &C
crue to New York.
