complaints from many other residents

ATHENS, Sept. 21-With thousands

Already some 100000 refugees are

baIked on the islands of the Aegean,
where not only food but water is
lacking.
Three days supply of wheat has
been bought in Egypt and Greek banks
have agreed to turn over to the gov
ernment about 100000 in foreign
exchange to finance purchases of
wheat abroad This will ensure a sup
ply for fortnight, after which it is
hoped wheat may be available from
Thrace and perhaps the United States.
Meanwhile everybody here is eating
bread male from unrefned wheat.
100000 Refugees
Some estimates place the numbe :
of refugees likely to be sent to Greece
as 100000. The condition of the Greek
treasury is unsatisfactory. Already

WEDDING
OPPOSED BY FAMILY
(By Associated Press)

DOORN, Sept. 21.-The marriage of
former Kaiser Wilhelm will occur not
with the freely given consent of the
entire Hohenzouern family as reported
from Berlin, but. despite their bitter
opposition, and above all, against the
strongly expressed wish of the Crown
Prince, according to information Sc
cured from source very close to the
former kaiser.
The relations between the Crown
Prince and the former kaiser have lat
er become very strained, it is stated.
The Crown Prince over fortnight ago
instead of staying at Doom installed
himself at the Amerongen castle with
Count Bentinck.
The opposition on the part of the
Crown Prince and other members of
the imperial family, may be due, it is
said, to financial reasons rather than
to pride or cast.

fire prevention and all too general
carelessness about possible causes of
conflagration, our fire waste reaches
figures year after year which are not
approached in any other country in the

Railway Attorneys
Close Case Against
Daugherty's Action
CRy Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Attorneys for
the railroad strikers today closed their
final arguments against Attorney Gen
eral. Daugherty's bill for a nationwide
strike injunction and Assistant AttOr-
ney General A. A. Mclaughlin began
the summing up for the government.
Attorney General Daugherty had not
arrived in court when Mr.. McLaugh-
lin began his argument and the govern
ment attorneys said he had not quite
completed the draft of the injunction
which they will ask the court to sign.
Judge James H. Wilkerson was ex-
pected to decide today whether the ma
tion-wide strike of railway shopmen
can be legally regarded as a conspi-
racy to restrain interstate commerce,
and to determine the extent to which
he believes the federal government is
justified in going to restrict strike ac-
tivities.
Disorders Decrease
A marked decrease in strike disor-
ders since the restraining order was
issued was pointed out by Blackburne
Esterline assistant solicitor general,
as an Indication that the strike was di-
rected from a single source.
The case is regarded by attorneys as
the most important of its kind ever
brought to bar in court of the
United States. Into it the government
threw one of the heaviest legal bat
teries ever assembled in court action
Iof its character, with the attorney gen.
eral of the United States in personal
charge of the government forces.

Facing the prospect of a summons
back to Washington in November for
special sitting, many members said
they would not return until December,
even if President Harding called
them.
The house, many of whose members
departed today to begin campaigns for
reelection, marked time while the
senate tried to decide which of three
bills it would dispose of before ad-
journing sine die. These included
the Liberian loan, the anti-lynching

one that seemed certain of passage,

Members expressed the hope today
that President Harding would change
his mind about calling a special ses

adjourn until Nov Is, and then take
up the ship subsidy and other legis

Mr.. Harding was told, however, that
if he wanted congress back, he would
have to summon it, as members would

VOTE SUSTAINS VETO
fRy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-For a
third time the soldiers legislation has
failed of enactment.
The senate late yesterday sustained
President Harding's veto of the Ford
ney-McCumber bill, the vote to Al to
28 falling four short of the two-thirds
majority that would have been neces-
sary to have made it law without the
executives signature. Five hours be-
fore the senate acted, the house over
rode the veto 258 to 54.
The action of the senate makes i'm
possible veterans compensation legis-
lation at least until the next session
which will begin early in December.
Meantime, however, it is the purpose
of some proponents to continue the
fight and the bonus may become an is
sue in some of the congressional and
senatorial campaigns this fall.

posals were offered on the house that

means committee which began hear
ings on Sept. 29, 1919. No spokesman
for veterans organizations appeared,
however, and action was delayed.

mittee on March 2, 1920, and continued
for three weeks. The original five
