EVEN TO TORCH; MANY
 THOUSANDS DIE
Destruction of Port Still Further Complicates Situa-
 ton Already Grave
MAsSACREs REPORTED
Dispatch Declares Victims at Smyrna at Least Num-
 Der 100000 Persons

LONDON, Sept. 15.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) LThe destruction of the great port of Smyrna by fire, accom- panied reports of horrible massacres perpetrated by the Turkish nationalist forces. the victims numbering between one and two thousand persons, has still further complicated the already grave situation in Asia Minor.
 Up to the prsent reports of these massacres appear to depend largely upon possible exaggerated statements of terrified refugees, but it seems i'm possible to doubt, from information reaching London that a number of lives have been sacrificed, women out ragged, and other atrocities committed.
 The destruction of the greater part of Smyrna left some 60,0O0 Greeks and Armenians homless and destitute and some fourteen naturaliZed Americans are missing.
 If the British government has re ceived official reports of happenings in Smyrna, from it's representatives there or from commanders of the na- val units in Turkish waters, none of them has as yet been issued fer pub lication and the only news reaching here is contained wholly in first re ports.
 According to one report, the Turks deliberately burned the city to hide the evidences of their massacres and pillagings. but what appears more prob able from other report swas that the Turks motive was to force the allies to evacuate the entire Christian pop ulation and thereby settle the problem of minorities in Anatolia.

DROWNING CASE
 MAY BE MURDER
Phoenix Man Picked Up Dead in Canal May Have Been
 Victim of Slayers

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 15.-Hinting that a prominent Phoenix citizen and his wife are under surveillance and that an arrest was probable, city police and deputies from Sheriff John Mont gomery's office tonight are working on the theory that Guy Derner was strangled to, death.
 The theories that Dernier came to his death by drowning or that he died of heart failure while swimming in the Arizona canal were abandoned to- day when the coroners' jury returned verdict that Dernier "came to his death by asphyxiation, cause undeter- mined"
 The verdict followed statement by Dr. Grant s. Monical, county medical referee, that in his opinion, the marks and bruises found on Dernier's body after it had been removed from the water, had been caused before the mans death. Dr. Monical performed an autopsy Wednesday.

COMPLETES PLEA. [ OR INJUNCTION
 AGAINST GRAF TS.
No Direct Evidence Against Union Officials Given
 Before Hearing

CHICAGO, Ills, Sept, 15.-(By the Associated Press)-The government completed it's plea for temporary in- junction against the rail strikers today and rested it's case.
 Judge J. M. Wilkerson adjourned court until Monday, when attorneys for B. M. Jewell and John, Scott, pres ident and secretary-treasurer respec- lively, of the railway employees de- partment, American Federation of La bor, will open the defense.
 The government restd on the strength of some 500 affidavits char ging violence, intimation and destruc- tion of property during the strike. No direct evidence connecting any of the union officials with the alleged con spiracy to destroy interstate traffic was given, but attorneys representing Attorney General Daugherty contend that the existence of such widespread disorder indicates the unions and their officials are responsible for it.
 Donald R. Richberg and Frank Mul holland, attorneys for Jewell and Scott, are preparing, they say, to of fer evidence in support of the union claim of counter conspiracy against them. The union leaders charge that the railroad executives entered int: conspiracy, first to fore strike and then to destroy the unions.
 Four days are left for the defense and for final arguments before the the temporary restraining order now in force will automatically expire Judge Wilkerson has called attention of the lawyers to the fact that it will not be renewed, and unless the injunc tion hearing is completed before Thurs day night, the unions will be freed from its provisions.

1 0,000 MEN
 TOBE THROWN
 OUT IF WORK
Announcement of Intended Closing Is Given Out by
 Street Car Officials
MORE PLANTS TO CLOSE
Closing May Be Protracted According to Advice
 Given to Workmen

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 15.-Henry Ford late today took steps to close his Detroit automobile plants, beginning tonight. thereby throwing upwards of 100000 workmen in the Detroit Dis trict out of employment for an in definite period. He asked officials of the Detroit Street Railway to rear range its schedules to care for the night forces at his various factories. who will be dismissed at II o'clock, it was announced.
 Announcement of the intended clos ing came from officials of the street railway company. No official state ment from Mir. Ford or his executives was forthcoming late today, it having been stated this morning at the Ford offices that the manufacturers announ would close September 16 would stand" unless he altered his plans.
 The railway company, it was an nounced, was requested to concentrate it's cars at the Highland Park and other Ford plants at II o'clock to- night to carry the shifts finishing work at that hour, as well as those reporting for work to their homes. The day shifts will be dismissed at the end of the working day tomorrow, the street railway company was informed.
 Simultaneously it was announced a number of smaller manufacturing con cerns here that supply the Ford plants with parts and accessories will close. These companies employ upwards of 3O,O00 men. The Ford workers to be thrown out of employment total ap- proximately 10000.
 Mir. Ford announced several weeks ago that he would close his Detroit plants September 16 because of the coal shortage. He denied real coal shortage existed and charged certain coal brokers with demanding an ex- orbitant price for fuel. He said that rather than pay these prices, he would close his plants for an indefinite per iod.
 Ford motor company foremen recei- we'd instructions this afternoon to ad- wise all workers under their charge to save their money and live as ec- onomically as possible during the sus- pension. Many workers said they took this to mean the closing might be protracted.
 MT. Ford and his company executives were ip conference here today. It was reported a plan was being discussed whereby a part of tn tractor plant at Dearborn might be kept open, but these reports could not be confirmed
 All attempts on the part of business men and others here today to obtain an official statement from MT. Ford as to his plans met with failure.
