Washington, Sept. 23.-Federai
Fuel Distributor Conrad E. Spens
began preparations today to carry
out measures contemplated in the
new coal distribution and anti pro-
fiteering act to meet the National
fuel emergency.
In letter to Mr.. Spcns follow
ing his appointment yesterday, Pres
ident Harding suggested that among
the first activities Of the fuel
agency the question of maintaining
fair prices for coal within the var
ious states be, taken up with the
state governors. Supplementary to
this, the President directed the
setting up Of "such agencies as will
vigorously follow up individuals u.s.
ing facilities Of interstate COM
merce who are exacting extortion, as
defined in the act, in order that we
may have relief from such practices
at the earliest possible moment"
In urging the consuming public to
cooperate against the accumulation
of stocks in excess of current needs,
Mr.. Spena expressed the opinion
that such q course not only would
solve the distribution problem but
also would quickly restore prices to
q fair level in the section where he
believed these were now being ex-
ceeded.
Appointment Of D. Conn, of Min.
neapolis as assistant federal fuel dis.
tributor, was announced today BY
Distributor Spens.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
(By the Associated Press)

Marion, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-In a COM
prehensive report today, the special
grand jury which investigated the
Herrin mine killing arraigned Gen.
eral Black for failure to send
troops, Sheriff Melvin Thaxton and
local police for alleged failure to
protect life and property, and return
ed a total Of PA indictments. &
a Alleged lack of authority to send
troops without such request having
been made, it was pointed out, was
the explanation given by Adjutant
General Black. !.
The jury returned six more in
dictments for murder, bringing the
total to Al, So for conspiracy to COM
nit murder, 81 for assault with III
tent to commit murder, and previous
ly had returned fifty-eight for con-
spiracy and rioting.
Discussing the Southern Illinois
Coal company's action in reopening
the Strip mine while the strike was
in effect, the report states that W. J.
Ldster, owner, "either was woefully
ignorant of the danger" or "blindly
determined to risk strife and conflict
if profit could be made"
The report e.>phatically stated
that there was no law which forbade
the adjutant general to call out
troops unless request were made by
the sheriff. This, it was pointed out,
was the explanation given by Adju-
tant General lack for his failure to
send troors to Herrin
Sheriff Melvin Thaxton is mem
Der of the miners union and also is
candidate for county treasurer and
he failed to take adequate measures
to preserve the p>lce either because
of his sympathy for the union or
through fear that it would hurt his
candidacy, the report declared
Sheriff Criticized.
The attack on the Strip mine.
which resulted in che % deaths, had
been planned several days, the report
asserted, and Sheriff Thaxton had
ample time to learn Of the proposed
movements on the non-union men.
Ransacking Of hardware stores for
arms and ammunition just before the
attack was the result of telegram
from John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, to State Sen.
VIM, Sneed, declaring the non-union
men to be strikebreakels, the repor:
said.
Senator Sneed is sub-district
president of the miners union, and
the report stated the telegram was
posted at various. places and that
tn eminers rified the stores with the
assurance that the United Mine
Workers would pay for the articles
they took.

POWERS PROPOSE PEACE CONFERENCE
BRIDE TAKEN
BY KIDNAPERS
AFTER WEDDING

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Authorities of
Chicago, Northern Illinois and Wis
consin cities were watching today
for Mrs. Helen Schultz Schanken-
berger, bride of yesterday, and two
men alleged to have kidnapped her

Constantinople, Sept. 23.-General
Sir Charles Townshend who directed
the British campaign against the
Turks in Mesopotamia during the
World War and because famous
through his heroism at the battle or
Kut-el-Amarna, may be chosen as an
allied envoy to settle the present
Turkish crisis.
Though Townshend has spent most
Of his career fighting against the
Turks and other Moslems, he is ad-
mired and respected by them and his
opinions would carry great weight
with Mustapha Kemal by whom he
is we'll known.
Shortly before the Turkish often

held long unofficial conversations
with Kemal and members of his
cabinet.
Townshend, it is believed, will ad-
wise the allies to give Turkey Con-
stantinople, Adrianople and Thrace.
He already has warned Great Britain
that Turkish blood shed in keeping
the Turks from Constantinople will
mean a holy war with uprisings in

BABE CALLS
"MOTHER" JUST
AFTER BIRTH

Mason City, Ia., Sept. 23.-"An
accident but most unusual ac-
cident," is the opinion expressed
today by physicians on the un-
precedented performance of the
infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Zantes, who called "Moth-
er" three times five minutes aft
er his birth in a hospital here
yesterday. The enunciation was
so clear that attending physi-
clans and nurses were amazed.
Since these three initials calls,
however, his vocal efforts have
been confined to the customary
vocabulary of an infant. The
difficulty in uttering the eth"
sound which was so marked in
the babes pronunciation of the
word makes the feat the more
remarkable, doctors said.

POLICE CANNOT
FIND CLUE IN
HALL-MILLS CASE

New Brunswick, Sept. 23.-Baffl-
ed in their efforts to trace the slayer
or slayers of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church Of st. John the
Evangelist and his chair leader Mrs.
Eleanor Reihart Mills, wife Of
church sexton, authorities today
pinned their hopes on getting some
light through volunteer statements
by members of the church. A pub
lie appeal, with promise of pro-
lection from publicity, was made
by Prosecutor Stricken for facts
bearing on the mystery.
Some detectives believe the rector
was shot in the front seat of an
autom obile and that Mrs. Mills broke
her ankle in jumping from a motor
car.
Witnesses have told the authori-
ties of seeing two rapidly moving au-
tomobiles on the road near the spot
where the bodies were found.

Former Minister to Turkey
Discusses Causes of
Situation
Rx Lohn O'Donnell

New York, Sept. 23.-Present con-
ditions in Asia Minor are so serious
that there is "great danger OF a
recrudescence of the World War;
declared Oscar S. Straus, twice min
lister and former ambassador to
Turkey, in an exclusive interview
today.
The former ambassador, who is
probably as familiar with the Tur-
kish question as any other man in
American, emphasized these points
in his interview.
ONE: Turkey, Russia and Ger
many, with one or more of the Bal
kan states, may pool their forces
against the allied powers.
TWO: The United States, for its
enlightened self-interest, may be
compelled to take part in prevent
ing q world-conhagration and in re-
storing peace.
THREE: A general conAagration
can be avoided only if (a) Great Brl-
tain, France and Italy reach an i'm
mediate agreement and (b) if the
Treaty Of Versailles be materially
revised.
FOUR: The present menacing
condition would not have developed
had "the United States, under any
reservations we chose to make, join
ed the League of Nations"
FIVE: Nenizelo, Greek premier
exiled at return of Constantine,
"should be Immediately recalled
and placed in power.
II do not wish to be prophet OF
evil" said the former ambassador
but the danger of an outbreak OF
the World War is great. say
great because the present state OF
affairs may bring Germany, Russia
Turkey and one or more Of the Bal

lance.

their estimation, by joining with

with the world exhausted as it
is, bleeding at every wound, another
! war carries with it the possibilities
of endless woes in the disorganiza-
ton it may bring within the allied
nations themselves"
Straus discussed the causes of the
present situation.
"For the past 100 years the East

of Europe not because of the domln-

Paris, Sept. 23.-The PROS

here. These conditions are ex-
pected to form the basis of me-
gotiati0ns at the peace confer
ence soon to be summoned.
They provide for the reoccu-
patton of Constantinople and

ASK FOR DEDUCTIONS

The state railroad commission
will intervene in the Fargo and
Jamestown-Valley City rate cases
pnding before the Interstate Com
merce Commission with view Of
assisting in the conduct of those
cases and securing for the entire
state any modification in rates from
the Twin Cities, Duluth, Chicago,
Kansas City or other points to Far
20, it was announced by V. E.
Smart, traffic manager of the COM
mission, today.
The basis of the Fargo case, Mr..
Smart said, was an effort to secure
a reasonable scale Of class rates
from Duluth and the Twin Cities to
Fargo as compared to rates to Moor
head and Crookston, and to secure
reasonable overhead rates from Chi
cago and Kansas City to Fargo, the
Chicago rates now being based on
full combination over St. Paul. The
Chicago rate issues are particularly
important to Fargo and other North
Dakota jobbing points, it is stated
as practically all rates N New Eng
land territory, Central Freight AS
sociation territory and Eastern
Freight Association territory are
based upon or. related to combina-
tions over Chicago. IN. t rarz.,,
The jamestown case alleges dis
elimination between rates from the
Twin Cities to some points in
North Dakota as compared to rates

state discrimination in rates in fav-
or of Minnesota, joining with the

Savage, Mimi, Sept. 23.-Forcing
the assistant cashier-a woman-in-
to the vault, four bandits robbed the
First State Bank of Savage at 10
A. M. today, escaping with approx
mately $1,000 in cash and $4,000 in
Liberty bonds.
The four bandits drove up to the
bank in a touring car, three OF
them entering the institution and
the fourth remaining at the wheel
of the car, with the motor running.
Twice before. this week the men
have been at the bank inquiring as
to the financial rating of certain
farmer in the neighborhood, and
Miss Marie Mcdonald, the assistant
cashier, who was alone at the time
looked up with smile Of recogni-
ton as the men entered.
Drawing pistols, the bandits COM
manded her to "get into the vault"
and two of them followed her in,
the third remaining on guard at
the counter.
Hardly more than five minutes
was occupied by the robbery the ban
dts leaving quietly without mo-
testing Miss Mcdonald, and making
no attempt to prevent her from
making an outcry the moment they
had quit the place. ~@s
Immediately they had left, Miss
Mcdonald sounded the alarm, and
the authorities quickly notified near
by towns, including the Twin Cities
to be on the alert for the men, OF
whom detailed description was fur
nished.
When Miss Mcdonald ran from
the bank, calling out we have been
robbed" several automobiles set
out in pursuit of the bandits car
and followed it to Rosemount, where
the trail was lost.
Naturally I was frightened when
the robbers, whom I thought were
ordinary business men, pointed pls-
tolls at me and told me to "throw up

. Constantinople, Sept. 23-Within
36 hours the world will probably
know whether the Turkish NATIONAL
lists have chosen war or peace. The
Angora cabinet, meeting at Smyrna,
is expected hourly to declare wheth-
er the Kemalists will await the peace
conference propolied by the powers
or take matters in their own hands
by invading Thrace.
France is expected to exert re-
newed pressure to keep the Turks
from any hostile action which would
jeopardize their present extremely
favorable position at the forthcom-
ing conference, but many competent
observers are frankly skeptical that
the Nationalist cabinet will accept at
their value promises that the confer
ence will rdSult in their realization
of all their claims.
The Turks are fully aware of the
weakness of the British land forces
now precariously holding points
along the Asia Minor shore, and ara
convinced of their ability to defeat
them.
French official circles hold that
the only thing which can stave off
the Nationalist attack is definite
pledge by Great Britain to support
France in guaranteeing that Thrace
will be evacuated promptly by the
Greeks and restored to Turkey.
Opposes Hasty Action.
It is reported that Mustapha Ke-
NAL Pasha, the Nationalist leader, is
opposed to hasty action, but it re-
mains to be seen whether his strong
personality and convictions can tri-
umph over the opposition of his COL
leagues.
Meanwhile unfeigned anxiety ex-
lists among the British here over
the continued strong concentration
of Turkish troops at 1smid, where
by reason Of the withdrawal OF the
Italians, the position of the British
forceG has been weakened.
The Nationalists have brought up
field guns from Ez-lne, which they
recently seized, to within ten miles
from the Southern shore of the OAR
danelles.
The tension in Constantinoplc
continues. The capita is full OF DIS
turbing rumors, and many British
war correspondents are arriving.
CONSTANTINOPLE UNEASY
London, Sept. 23.-Notwithstand-
inp assurances from Paris that the
prospects for peace in the Near East
are Frightening, ugly reports con-
tinue to come from Constantlnopie,
and several more units of the Allan
tic fleet, including the battleshlp Re-
yenge. have been ordered to prepare
fer service in the Dardanelles.
The favorable side of the plsture
is presented by the Paris correspond
ent of the TIMES, who reports the
French naval commander, Admiral
Dumesnil, sent his government
most reassuring dispatch concerning
his interview with Mustapha kemal
Pasha. He said he found the Turks
| "entirely tractable and ready to en-
ter negotiations without delay"
The same correspondent says the
report submitted increases enor-
mously the potentiality of the later.

is radically different from that
