CHALLENGE BY WILSON
FOR REFERENDUM ON
TREATY IS ACCEPTED
BRITISH TROOPS ARE
VEIL INTRENCHED
And No Apprehension Is Felt in Con-
stantinople That Turkish Ma
tionalists Will Attack
the City.

Constsntinople, June II tBy the As
sociated Press British troops which
are confronted by Turkish nationalist
forces on the Ismid peninsula, in Aria
Minor, southeast of Constantinople, are
well intrenched and well supported by
the British feet in the Gulf of Ismid
and in the Bosphorus. For this reason
no apprehension is felt that the ma
tionalists will attack this city.
Nationalists airplanes are dropping
bombs on the British trenches for the
evident purpose of goading the British
into an engagement, but, while the
British are sending reinforcements to
Ismid, they show disposition to avoid
fighting if possible For the past two
days, however, there have been skir-
mishes along the north shore of the
Gulf of Ismid, and British wounded are
arriving here.
Guebda. near the gulf. and half way
between Constantinople and lsmid, is
occupied by nationalists forces, which
also hold the mountains north of the
gulf but short distance from Constan-
tinople.
Inmates of the Armenian orphanage
at Jsmid have been brought to this
city under the direction of Miss Sophie
Holt, an American worker. on the rail
way, which is still operating A large
number of other refugees have also
reached Constantinople from the Asian
side of the Bosphorus.

CELLARFUL OF LIQUOR
MAKES 4 PUZZLE
Mrs. George F. Griffin of Chicago Does
Not Know What to Do With
100000 Left BY Her Late
Husband.

Chicago, June IS. disposition of liz.
nor said to be valued at 100000 stored
in the basement of the residence OF
the late George f. Griffin. in the ex-
elusive Gold Coast district, to-day
was puzzling federal authorities. A
buyer for the house is being sought
but the liquor, according to law, can
not enter into the deal. 1t cannot be
removed because of the Illinois search
and seizure law. The widow, who de-
sires to sell the property, it was stated
might retain ownership of the liquor,
but she could not use it after the sale,
it was said, because that would mean
its removal.
One of the federal officials gave his
opinion that the stock could be sold un-
der a permit for medicinal purposes,
while Maj. A. v Dalyrmple announced
he would demand the letter of the
law"
In the meantime two men are guard
ing the entrances TO the basement.

VT. Public Service Cor. .Is-
sion Decides AgaiS the
Barre Manufacturers
REDUCES APPRAISAL
OF THE COMPANY
But Declares Montpelier G.
Barre Co. Entitled to 7
Per Cent Income

The public service commission has
rendered its decision on the application
of the Montpelier & Barre Light &
Power Co. TO increase its power rates,
made July 30, 1919, granting the new
rates.
When the power company filed the
proposed new rates with the commits
sion last year, the Granite Manufac-
turers' association offered objections
and asked TO be heard in the matter
This request was granted and several
days were given up to hearing the OBJ
iectors, who contended that the rates
asked were too high, that the service
was not sufficient and that the power
company put too high valuation on
its properties. The public service COM
mission in rendering its decision cuts
the power company's appraisal of
little over $4,000,000 to s3,30O,000. a
reduction in valuation of 100000, but
says the company is entitled to earn
seven per cent on its valuation, rather
than the six per cent asked on the
higher amount. Therefore, the pro-
posed increased rate is not unreason-
able or excessive. The public service
commission says further: "A fair rate
of return contemplates a quality and
efficiency of service equal to the rea
sonable requirements of the business
to which il is applied; therefore, the
proposed new rate is approved with the
understanding that the Montpelier q
Barre Light & Power Co shall main
tain such facilities as will produce suf'
ticient and adequate electric power to
take care of the reasonable require
ments of the power users in the Barre
district"

DETROIT IS NOW
A HUGE CITY
With Population of 993,799
It Outranks Five Other
American Cities
IS FOURTH LARGEST
IN UNITED STATES
It's Numerical Increase Was
Second Only to That
of New York

Washington, d. c., June ls.-Detroit
with numerical increase and rate of
growth larger than Chicagos and sec
and only to New York's during the last
ten years, is now fourth largest city of
the country, displaeing st. Louis and
outranking Boston. Cleveland. Balti-
more and Pittsburg. all of which were
larger than the Michigan city ten years
ago. Detroit's 1920 population, an
nounced to-day by the census bureau
is 993,73o, an increase of 527, ,973, or
1884 per cent.
Detroit is the only city of 100000
or more which has more than doubled
its population in the last ten years.
Cleveland, also with large increase,
has outstripped st. Louis and Boston
and takes rank as fifth largest city of
the United States. The Ohio city had
the fifth largest numerical increase of
any municipality in the country during
the last ten years, its increase having
been exceeded only by New York, Chi
cago, Detroit and Los Angeles. Cleve.
lands population exceeds that of st.
Louis by $4,000 and that of Boston by
almost $4,000. it's total being 7a6.S36,
an increase of 236,l73 or 42.l per cent
over 1910.
With announcement of the popula-
tions of Cleveland and Detroit, the def
mite ranking of the country's IS larg-
est cities has been established. New
York and Chicago remain first and sec
ond cities, respectively Philadelphia
he 1,1xr - 1nDn
population has not been announced,
but IL is unlikely that the Pennsyl-
vanian city's rank as third largest in
the country will be changed. Detroit
had jumped into fourth place and
Cleveland into fifth position, forcing
st. Louis into sixth, Boston into /
seventh, Baltimore into eighth and
Pittsburgh into ninth place.
Los Angeles advanced from 18th |
rank to 10th and displaced Buffalo as
well as attaining the honor of being |
the largest city west OF St. Louis
San Francisco retained llth rank and |
Buffalo dropped from 10th TO l2th, |
while Milwaukee was forced into 18th |
place.
Washington. d. c.. moved from 10th
TO l4th position, displscing Newark,
n. j., which dropped into 18th posi-
tion. Cincinnati, 18th largest city in
1910, now ranks 10th.
New Orleans, through the advance /
of Los Angeles and Washington, was
forced from 18th to 18th position. while
retained its rank as 18th
largest city.
The ranking of the cities below
cannot be determined un.
til the populations of Kansas City,

TRAGEDY CULTIVATED
INVESTIGATION
Dartmouth Authorities Had Been for
Weeks Investigating Source of
the Supply Used by
Small Group.

Hanover, N. H., June ls.--The kill.
ing of Henry f. Maroney, Dartmouth
college senior, by Robert T. Meads, a
junior, in quarrel over whiskey which
Meads kept for sale, has brought TO a
head, President Ernest NJ. Hopkins OF
the college said today, Investigations
which have been carried on for several
weeks by the college authorities to de-
termine the source of contraband sup
plies reaching a small group of college
men.
Evidence and testimony obtained by
federal and state officials and by col
lege authorities, according to President
Hopkins, indicated that while a group
of undergraduates dominated by Meads
had been smuggling whiskey here from
Montreal for two months, possibly with
outside assistance, there was no general
organization of rum runners, nor was
there any general participation in the
traffic among the body of students
Two or three men were associated with
Meads, one of whom, he added, Grille
n. Wise of Akron, Ohio, a companion
of Meads in the latter's flight after
the shooting. had made statement of
his connection with the traffic to coun-
ty investigators.
Wise was still held at the local Jail
to-day. awaiting arrival of his father,
DIR. w. S. Wise of Akron, Ohio, to be
released ON bonds of ST. 900 as a mate
rial witness in connection with the
shooting.
The story of the liquor-smuggling
operations of the band headed by
Meads. as uncovered by the several in
vestigators, combined with informa-
tion furnished by Wise and announced
by High Sheriff Claude VI. Murray,
runs back about three months. At that
time Meads, according to the story,
started week end trips TO Montreal, re-
turning with whiskey hidden in suit
cases, strapped TO the brake rods OF
the trains or carried in disguised con-
tainers. When the roads of the north
country were broken out after the
winter SHOWS, the traffic WIS taken up
by automobile On the last trip over
the road of $50 miles TO Montreal.
afeads is said to have brought back in
a small automobile a shipment of 72
quarts of whiskey, which included the
liquor that was the occasion of the
killing of Wednesday morning. This
liquor. according to a diary found in
NIeads' room, was bought for S2.75 a
quart and sold for $50 a quart.

preliminary hearing yesterday in the
case of Byron NJ. Pettihone, held at
the county Jail on the charge of having

ing about the village in her car, ac
companied by the relatives of the ac-
cused man. who are making every ef-
fort to save Pettibone from the oonsc-
quences Of the crime charged against
him. II was her suggestion that Petit

was permitted to visit him in the jail
for that purpose. According to the
