lO3Oa. IN. m.l-Price movements showed an
uncertain trend at the dull opening of
TODAY 5 stock market. although gains out
numbered losses. Oils and tobaccos were

of Atlantic Gulf issues, the market moved
toward higher ground during the morning.
Gains were limited largely to specialties,
however, rails sharing only incidentally,
despite favorable statements of earnings.
American Linseed was the strongest
feature, rising 515 points in connection
with reports of change of contro. to

Withdraw Toward Angnra

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2 (By The
Associated Press) Turkish National
list forces, which have been fighting a
desperate battle against the Greeks in
the loop of the Sakaria River in Asia
Minor, are withdrawing toward An
CORA. Both the Greeks and the Turks
have suffered heavily during recent
fighting, but the Turks were outnum-
bered.
The Turkish forces are aLout fifty
miles from Angora, occupying the line
running through Gordium, Polatli,
sarighiol and Karahodja. Before be-
ginning their withdrawal toward their
capital the Turks are said to have
launched violent couner attack at the
Greek center.
The treaty between the Turkish Ma
tionalists and France, which was re-
Gently revised, has been, signed, it is
said in dispatches from Angora. Fifty
Frenchmen, who were held prison~r
by the Turks, have been taken to an
Asia Minor seaport for repatriation.

Police Trail Suspect in 81, 900
Theft Over Country; Are Led
to Him in Street Here

Francis M. Sheridan, of 400 East
Fifty third Street, was arrested at
Fifth Avenue and Forty-6fth Street
last night, charged with the theft of
SAT 900 worth of negotiable bonds from
the Guaranty Trust Company, where
he formerly was employed as trans
fer clerk. The theft was in 1919.
Sheridan's arrest was the result of hav-
ing been seen by a present employee
OF the bank, who called a patrolman
and told him that warrant had been
issued for the arrest
The prisoner was taken to the West
Forty seventh Street, police station.
Detective Dumphy, of the Old Slip
station. is said to hold the warrant.
Detectives said that on being cues
toned the prisoner admitted that he
was the man wanted. He is said to
have added that the sum involved was
$4,000.
Detectives have been trailing the
suspect for some time. 1t was reported
last night that Sheridan disappeared a
few days before the Indictment was
returned. He was seen at Third Ave-
nue. and SEVENTEEN Street, but with
the aid of friends escaped. Since then,
it is alleged, he has travelled in the
South and through Canada, with de-
tectives always few steps behind him.

The thousands OF gallons of water
poured into the vessel caused it to set
tie visibly, but still the smoke poured
up from the hatchway. and it was APP
parent that the water was not reach
ing the seat of the fire. After FIVE
hours OF fighting had failed to suhdue
the flames che fremen obtained oyy-
acetylene torches from the Morse Dry
Dock and Repair Company and cut a
fifteenfoot hole in the hottest part of
the deck
When they began pouring water
through this aperture the effect on the
fire was noticeable almost Immediately.
Within an hour after the new avenue
of attack had been opened the fire
was under control The burning cot
ton would continue to smolder, it was
said, until the last bale had been
soaked. and that probably would rot
be before morning.
Cargo Destined for Germany
The fire started about fifteen feet
below the deck and about thirty feet
from the stern of the vessel. About
500 bales of cotton had been hoisted
out Of the held by the fremen when
they got the flames under control.
The cotton and tobacco had been
taken aboard at Norfolk, Va, and the
East Cape was tied up here to take on
additional cargo for Hamburg, for
which port the vessel was scheduled
to sail September Is. The ship was
allocated by the Shipping Board to
the Kerr Line. The damage caused
by the fire has not been estimated

Fire in Cotton ON Shipping
Board Vessel Menaces Pier

Cotton in the hold of the Shipping
Board vessel East Cape caught IRE by
spontaneous combustion yesterday,
while the ship was moored at Pier 4,
Army Base. Brooklyn. It was about 4
p. M, when the fire ia the hold was re-
ported to Captain Ralph Jones, COM
mander of the ship, and it WAS not
until afer 10 o'clock that firemen got
it under control. and expressed con-
fidence that the flames would not
spread to the pier.
In the belief that only few of the
1000 bales of cotton were afre, Cap
tain Jones set his crew of forty to
work hosting the burning bales from
the l.old and lowering them to a
lighter alongside, whose crew beat out
the flames and played streams of water
on the cotton.
The smoke pouring from the after
hold became so dense, however, as the
top layer of cotton was removed, that
the crew of the East Cape was driven
back. A fire alarm was turned in and,
in addition to several land companies.
the fireboats William j. Gaynor and
New Yorker responded
Flames Spread to Tobacco
A dozen or more streams were con-
centrated on the afterhold, the firemen
sticking to their posts despite the dense
smoke which enveloped them, the fire
having spread to the FIVE hundred bales
of tobacco which the East Cape carried
in addition to the cotton.

Ar1nistice Called
I'm Nurse-Landlord
Apartment Clash
Court Warns Against Action
Until Ruling Is Made on
the Lease, as Well as the
Proper Hours for Visitors

BY order of Justice Martin, Of the
Supreme Court, an armistice was de-
c!ared yesterday between Miss Ethel
SchWinger, nurse, who leases two
apartments at 403 West f15th Street.
and the officers and agents of the Park
Court Realty Company, which owns the
house and who objected to the visitors
who called on several other nurses to
whom Miss Schwinger sublets one of
her apartments.
Miss Schwinger applied for an in
junction restraining the landlord from
preventing the ingress and egress of
such visitors. Miss Schwinger COM
planned that she was being prosecuted.
and named Police Inspector John F.
Dryer as one of the owners of the
apartment house. serving him with a
temporary injunction.
This persecution, said the nurse, fol-
lowed her refusal to pay large in
crease of rent. Inspector Dwyer yes
terday, through his attorney told the
court that he has no interest in the
property and was not in any way as
sociated with the corporation owning it.
James L. Dryer, a son of the inspector,
is president and treasurer of the com-
pany.
- 1t developed during the argument be-
fore Justice Martin that on the night
of August 20 there was a conflict be-
tween Ralph Dwyer, another son of In
spector Dwyer, and Peter j. Candau,
agent of the property, on the one side
and several physicians from the Sloane
Hospital, who wished to visit the
nurses, on the other.
Miss Schwinger said that Dryer and
Candau refused to permit the doctors
to enter the apartment. 1t was alleged
that the police inspectors son used
insulting language. A policeman was
called, but he refused to take any ac-
ton.
Counsel for the landlords said com
plants had been made by other ten
ants in the house about noises ema-
mating from the sub-leased apartment
of Miss Schwinger, sometimes as late
as 2 o'clock in the morning. 1t was
also stated that under her lease the
nurse had no right to sub-lease her
apartment.
Justice Martin reserved decision, but
warned the parties to the controversy
that no action should be taken until
he has decided the matter.

There were many calls for skilled

ment the principal demand was for
general laborers on short jobs. Able
bodied laborers, Mr. Dunderdale said,
continued to receive fair rate of

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Plans for the
establishment of soup kitchens through
out the city this winter for the unem-
ployed were presented to-day to Mayor
William Hale Thompson. According
to recent reports, more than 1000
persons are idle, the number having
shown a slight decrease during the
last month. Unemployment is blamed
by the police for recent increases in
crime, the number of prisoners in the
county Jail now being the largest in
its history. Welfare workers fear
present conditions will be made worse
with the coming of cold weather
