Not a cent in taxes has been paid
to the city of Bath by people who
have bought houses at the Lincoln
street project of the Government and
who do rot pay taxes to the Govern
mCnt, either. The reason for this
is that they have not yet been able
to secure deeds of their property
from the United States Housing
Corporation. but they seem perfect
ly contented to continue without con-
tributing towards the expenses Of the
city, yet enjoying all the benefits
other citizens pay for in taxes. The
Government has always paid the
taxes on the whole property, but
this year. to date, no check has been
forthcoming in payment. The prop
erty is assessed for 100000, which
would mean $4,000 taxes a year. In
making out the appropriation bill,
this amount was. not considered. so,
if paid. it will be a surplus to the
city. No steps to make the Govern
ment pay up have been taken and
local officials are apparently doing
nothing, although hoping that the
money will be forthcoming soon.

TURK FEARS HALT PARLEY
Straits Negotiations May Fail Because
of Ottoman Stand.

Lausanne-Turkish fears of subma-
rines, Turkish fears of swiftly flying
military airplanes laden with bombs,
and generally. Turkish fears of aggres-
sfOns from without that will put Con-
stantinople in danger, have placed the
whole Lausanne conference in jeop-
ardy. Il. al N
The United States is silent on the
situation but the allied leaders say
that they have uttered their last word
on the question of liberty of the straits.
The Turks must say yes or no to the
allied project.
The British experts, Admiral Keyes
and General Burdett-Stuart, already
have left for England, believing their
work to have been completed and the
French experts are preparing to depart
at the conclusion of the "last session"
for discussion of the straits. Whether
rupture will come on the straits
problem depends chiefly on whether
the entente diplomats and their ex-
perts can remove the Turkish fears.
This they are now trying to do.
An additional fear of the Turks
which the allies must calm is that
with which they surround the proposed
international commission to supervise
control of the straits. The Turks claim
that the commission will be inquisi.
torial in nature. that it may infringe
Turkish sovereignty, and, finally, that
it may be used as club by some pow
ers to threaten Turkey. Hence their
ambition to have a general guarantee
pact signed at Lausanne which will
assure the neutrality Of the straits and
prevent acts of hostility in Turkish
territorial waters.

CHARGES U. S,
FORCED PACT
North Dakota Senator Asks for
Investigation of Nicar.
aqua irregularities.
WANTS EXPLANATION
Declares That America Has Been
Maintaining Troops on Nicaraguan
Soil Since Disturbance in 1910
Costa Rica Involved.

Washington-An Investigation by the
senate foreign relations committee to
ascertain "the true state of affairs" in
Nicaragua, the facts concerning Amer
lean occupation of that republic, in
1910; why American forces still are
quartered there, and "the connection
between certain New York commercial
houses and the Chamorro Clan govern
ment of Nicaragua" was proposed in a
resolution introduced by Senator Ladd,
Republican, North Dakota.
Makes Serious Charges.
The resolution set forth at length
various criticisms of the American
policy with respect to Nicaragua, de-
claring that mo state of war exists
between the United States and Near
aqua which would justify the perman-
ent quartering of our military forces
upon territory of friendly, neigh
borly nation; that "the executive de-
part has no constitutional powers to
maintain such invasion without the
consent of congress-" and that ''such
permanent occupation conflicts with
the traditional policy of the United
States and is inimical to the continu-
ance Of friendly and harmonious rela-
tions with Central American repub-
lics.''
Reference also was made in the
measure to resolutions adopted at a
mass meeting in Managua which, it
was said, accused DR.. Maximo H. Ze-
peda, a Nicaraguan delegate to the
Central American conference now in
session in Washington, of being "a
traitor to his country" and "a warrior
of Wall street. bankers against the
legitimate interests in his country"
Says Nicaragua Was Forced.
Another charge set forth in the
resolution was that "while the United
States marine still remained in con-
troll of the Nicaraguan capital" after
the occupation Of 1910 and while
"United States naval officers virtually
dictated the policies of its nominal
president, the United States govern.
ment consummated an important treaty
with Nicaragua" An attempt to en-
. force the terms of this treaty, the reso-
luton added, "has created disputes
between the United States government
and certain other Central American
nations involving territorial grants for
a naval base and commercial conces-
sions."
A further subject of inquiry under
the resolution would be "the diplo-
matte conversations which preceded
and followed the so-called Nicaraguan
governments reputation of the decree
of the international court Of justice in
disputed matters which concerned
Costa Rica, Salvador and Honduras as
we'll as the United States government.
