TURKS, EUROPE
ARE FAR APART
ON BIG ISSUES
PesSimists Predicting
Collapse
CBy Associated Press)

LAUSANNE, Dec 5.-Turkey and
Europe apparently have drifted so far
apart on the great issue of the near
east conference that the pessimists
have fruitful field for unhappy fore
casts on complete collapse of the
discussions and the resumption of war
in southeastern Europe.
Such elimination of the confe-
renee could easily be argued as
strong possibility, but any such argli-
ment, based on a reasonable hypoth-
esis would leave out the fact that
Europe needs peace and that Turkey
has constantly proclaimed her need
for building UP international relations
in acquiring capital to develop her i'm
mense resources.
The frenzied character of yester-
days proceedings, in which Russia
came to the fore as the willing cham
pion of Turkish autonomy, is indica-
tive of the extreme nervousness of
Europe and the general unsettled con-
ditions which provoked feelings OF
conference leaders.
Believe Worst Over.
So long as no actual break occurs
ciliatory views. That the worst is an
ticipated however, is shown by the ap-
pearance here of a suggestion that
general war could be launched against
Turkey by the League of Nations. Such
a resort to force, it is suggested might
take the form of sort of crusade
through the issuance of an appeal for
the help of all nations so that the war
could end quickly
The Turks are insisting that the
European powers should be the first to
set forth their desires in the Dardan-
elles problem because the straits, after
all, belong to Turkey and the Turk
should be the master of his own house.
The Nationalist delegates reiterate
their conciliatory intentions.
Although the entente nations and
the United States have not publicly
stated their views, Russia's proposal
for the exclusion of foreign warships
from the straits which seems to cor
respond to the Turkish position un-
doubtedly will not be acceptable. 1t is
almost certain that the powers will in
sist on the right of free passage for
warcraft, although they may perhaps
be willing to restrict tonnage.

SOFT COAL OPERATORS
CONVENE LAST TIME
BEFORE joint SESSION
(Bv Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 5-Union bitumin-
Gus coal operators of the United
States, gathered here to decide on
some method for negotiating a wage
scale with the soft coal miners next
January, today went into their second
session, their last separate meeting
before going into joint conference
with the miners.
When today's session was called
according to the spokesman for the op-
orators, no plan or method had been
agreed upon for presentation in the
joint conference opening tomorrow.
On the outcome of the joint con-
ference depends to great extent the
possibility of another nationwide BIZ
luminous coal strike, beginning in
April, 1928, it was said. The opera
tors and miners have presented diver
gent views of this method for nego-
tiating the scale, January 3. This re-
suited in temporary adjournment OF
the joint conference last November.
Arbitration Plan Wanted.
The operators have expressed a de-
sire for some form of arbitration. The
miners, according to John l.. Lewis,
their president, will not accept any
thing that savors of arbitration. Al
though this is not one of the specified
issues in the conferences scheduled
this week, it nevertheless has been
brought forward and discussed by the
operators.
While it is known that the miners
strongly favor a return to the old cen
tral competitive field wage base, or
some modification of it that will in
clude more territory, the operators ap-
parently hesitate to negotiate on this
base again because number of them
are under indictment for contracting
with the miners under its terms.
There also apparently was slight
division in the operators ranks, one
faction composed of those operators
who have always been in the central
competitive field, now non-existent be-
cause of the action taken at the Cleve-
land meeting last August and those
who are on the outside of this district.
Because of the large tonnage report
ed by the old central competitive field
operators, it was pointed out their
method, whatever it-might be probably
would be endorsed by the other oper-
ators

Bond in Wayne circuit court Tuesday
in passing sentence of from three to

formatory upon William and Alfard
Overly, who entered plea of guilty
to a charge of vehicle theft. 1.-The

in society but are looking for a soft
snap
"You ought to know that you should
not go about stealing the property of
other persons and more especially a
motor car. In this way you not only
endanger your own lives but those of
Others" the court told the bays.
1T is indeed miraculous that you
were not both killed." said the judge
in commenting upon the auto accident
which disclosed the theft.
The two boys had only recently
joined the army and were on a brief
leave of absence from Fort Thomas,
Ky. Arriving in Richmond Saturday
night destitute, they stole coupe
owned by Roland Nusbaum which was
standing near the corner of Thirteenth
and North A streets, and started to-
ward their homes in Ft. Wayne. They
met with an accident near Winchester
which damaged the car to great ex-
tent but received no injuries them
selves.
The boys were taken into custody
by Sheriff Fisher of Randolph county
and were brought to Richmond Sun,

Chauncy Gates and Carl Hall, of
Green's Fork, Tuesday were sentenced
by Judge W. A. Bond to from one to
eight years in the Indiana state refor-
matory for stealing three chickens and
three turkeys. The Doys also were
fined SIS.
Gates, 20 yearsold, confessed that he

dealer in Hagerstown. Sheriff Wad-

The confessions of the two boys re-
vealed that Gates had given Hall So
for his assistance in the stealing of
the fowls but that he had disposed of
them for SIS. Gates had told Hall that
he received but So for the haul.

that you young men could not have
begun your careers as young men in
the right way" said Judge William
Bond after the hearing. You know it
is wrong to steal and | think you have

HARDING
SOLONS WAIT
FOR MESSAGE
Delay is Greatest in
History
fBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-President
Harding broke a precedent today by
permitting the second day of the new
congress to pass without delivering
his annual message reporting on THE
state of the Union" and outlining the
administrations recommendation for
legislation.
It was said at the White House that
no date had been fixed for the presi-
dents appearance before the senate
and house but he expected to be able
to complete his message in time to
deliver it before the end of the week.
Officials added no formal explana-
tion for the delay, but indicated that
pressure of public business had pre-
vented compliance of the usual Gus
tom under which previous presidential
messages have been placed before con-
gress on the first or second day OF
the session.
No Provision of Law
There is no provision of law re-
quired that the president report to
congress at the beginning of the an
nual short session, it was pointed out,
the constitution stipulating merely
that "the executive shall from time to
time give to the congress informa-
ton of the states of the union and
recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall judge nee
essary and expedient." The custom
of making this report not later than
the second day of a session was es-
tablished early in the history of the
nation. However, senate and house
attaches today said they could not re
call when it had ever been broken.
Message Unnecessary.
Since the regular short session
which began yesterday is to deal large
ly with the annual budget and with the
administration shipping bill some OF
Mr. Harding's advisers are understood
to have taken the position that no an
nual message" as the term is usually
applied, would be necessary.
Only two weeks ago at the beginning
of the special session the president
communicated to congress at length
his reasons for asking for passage of
the shipping bill and the budget with
its accompanying routine letter of
transmittal from the president W; $
sent to the capital Yesterday.

resentative Cable of Lima, member OF

al influence in permitting undesirable
immigrants to enter the United States
in violation of existing laws, cables
said today.
The Ohioan has just returned from

migration conditions.

of all immigrants reaching New York
are being rejected by the public
health service for physical reasons.
and yet nine-tenths of those rejected
are being admitted after appeals to
Washington. In other words, Is per
cent of the approximately 100000 per-
sons who are annually entitled to ad-
mission are physically unfit. Con-
gressional pressure supplied in Wash
ington is nullifying the efforts of the
public health service"
To Ask Law Changed
Gable, after his investigation, says
he is more determined than ever to
press for change in the three per
cent law so that instead of fixed nu-
merical ration immigrants will be adj
mitted provided they meet rigid physf-'
cal and mental qualifications.
"My plan is that all persons who
will presumably become splendid
American citizens be admitted wheth-
er they number three hundred thou
sand or five hundred thousand. Our
country can assimilate high class i'm
migrants, but there should be no ad-
mission for undesirables, physically
