L|KENS No, OAK,
BANK To JONAH
Chief Justice Robinson
Warns of Wreck
Ahead.

Bismarck, n. d., Feb. 24.-Chief
Justice ]. E. Robinson, of the state
supreme court, in a statement Thurs
day night, likens the Bank of North
Dakota, to modern Jonah"
"On our ship of state" said JUS
tice Robinson's statement, there is
modern Jonah-the state bank. The
Lord has sent out great wind and
there is wild tempest on the seas,
and the ship is likely to be broken
unless Jonah be thrown overheard.
This same Jonah, without any
means of his own, has posed as a
banker and gotten into his Golfers all
the public moneys from every county
and corner Of the state. He has put
a large part Of the money into long
time loans on land and into the cof-
fers Of bankers and parties that will
never repay, and into buildings, mills
and elevators.
Now the depositors demand their
money and there is no payment. JON
ah is several millions short and he
will neither fish, cut bait nor 60
ashore, so the chances are he will
have to be thrown into the sea.
'Elt in the treasury department
there appears to be a tame whale
with capacity sufficient to swallow and
liquidate Jonah"
Justice Robinson urged greatly re-
duced taxes and suggested State
Treasurer John Steen. an Independ
ent. as the friendly whale.
The chief justice was elected with
Nonpartisan endorsement and has been
mentioned as one of the state Off
cials against whom the independents
are planning a recall election.

OLD ENEMIES
BREAK SEvRES
PACT T|NLONDON
Greeks Lose Thrace and
Smyrna; Near East
Now in Melting Pot.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Will Visit Spot and
Decide Various Claims

London, Feb. o4.-(By the Associ
ated s).-The Near East is agar
the melting pot.
The Sevres treaty, signed at Yer
sailles. but not ratified by the powers
is to be re-drafted in favor of the
| Turks, former enemies, against the
wishes of the Greeks, former allies
To what extent this will be done will
not be known until the inter-allie6
commission has visited the spot and
decided between the claims of the
Greeks and the Turks regarding the
ratio of population in Thrace and
Smyrna.
Former Allies Hit.
This decision was reached Thursday
when the supreme council decided to
invite the Greeks and Turks to sepa-
rate conferences Friday, when they
will be asked if they are prepared to
accept such an investigation, subject
to acceptance of the remaining terms
Of the treaty. The Turks have al
ready announced approval regarding
Smyrna and Thrace, but they are likely
to fight against the rest of the treaty
being enforced, while the Greeks are
expected to oppose the whole scheme.
After the Turks at the monning ses-
sion had presented concrete proposals
for revision Of the treaty, the Greeks
were given an opportunity in the af
ternoon to refute the Turks claims.
and spent two hours at the task. The
Greek premier, M. Kalogeropoulos,
made a strong plea for enforcement
of the treaty in it's entirety. quoting at
length Eliptherios Venizelos. former
premier, who has left for Paris great
ly discouraged over the Greek pros
poets.
Greeks Fear Delay.
NJ. Kalogeropoulos said that when he
came to London he did not believe
the conference intended to alter the
basis of the treaty and he
called on his experts to produce fig
ures showing that according to popula-
ton the Greeks were entitled to retain
what the treaty gave them. Greece
was willing to adopt the advice of the
allies, he added, provided the funda-
Of the treaty We're not changed,
out further delay would exhaust Greece.
When the decision was read the
Greeks expressed disappointment, but
were not prepared to state whether
they would accept. The Turks, jubi-
Iant, since delay is what they wanted, |
and they believe now that Smyrna, Of
which Bakir Samy Bey, head of the
nationalist delegation, said 80 long as
a foreigner holds Smyrna there cannot |
'e peace in the Near East" and Thrace,
which he declared to be necessary to
he economic future and military de-
.ense Of Constantinople," will be saved
% them.
Against Investigation.
The Central News said the Greek
delegation conferred Thursday night,
after which one Of them declared Pre-
nier kalogeropoulos was utterly op-
,osed to an inter-allied investigation
'egarding Smyrna and Thrace and
would refuse to consent to a revision
# the treaty.
"It looks like an insurmountable
'arrier," he added, "much as we detest
var, it appears inevitable, for we will

Sugar Levy SIashed.
AS the bill went back to the house
it carried fiat rate of two cents q

new rate in substitution for the present

delegations. The proposed tariff,
therefore, amounts to doublixg of the
import duties on sugars of all grades,
making Cuban sugar pay a duty OF
SLIGO a hundred pounds and similar
rate on molasses and kindred sugar
products.
While agreeing to the tariff on
sugar, the house conferees stood pat
