NO CONFUSION INTENDED

There has been some misunder-
standing regarding the section of the
resolutions adopted at the business
mems meeting Wednesday evening
which mentions rooming houses and
hotels, which reads as follows: 1--WE
further recommend that the rooming
and boarding houses accept any en-
ploye of said company frisco in
such rooming or boarding house, the
same as under normal conditions"
The trainers of the resolution and
those adopting it, did not intend that
compliance would be compulsory OIL
that they would attempt to force
rooming house or hotel keepers to
care for anyone who is not satisfac-
tory to them, or oforce business men
to sell goods to anyone to whom they
wished to refuse business, but the
resolutions adopted made certain
recommendation to these people.

$100 TO M'CRACKEN

Rev. E. w. McCracken was pleas
antly surprised Monday when he re-

Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian
Church at Wentworth. Rev. Mr.. Nc
Cracken has been helping the church
in that town; which now has a pastor,
of its own, Rev. M. L. Branham. He,
was not expecting such a substantial
token of appreciation for the work he
has done, therefore the check was.
doubly welcome.
At present Rev. Mr.. McCracken is
preaching for the Union and Zion con
gregations. He says he feels that his
call is especially for weak communi-
ties that are down and discouraged.
These he helps to organize in such a
way that they will, to use his own

DEADLOCK IN NEAR
EAST CONFERENCE
difficulty Said to Have Resulted Over
.1fAs' Demand Respecting Troops
At Constantinople.

oonstantinople, Oct. 5.-Abruptly,
though not unexpectedly, the Mudania
conference came to halt this after
noon. When it will be resumed is a
matter OF conjecture. Brigadier Cen
efai Harrington, commander of the
allied forces and head of the allied
delegation, returned this evening on
the battleship Iron Duke and the Ital-
ian delegation also came to Constan-
einople. It is understood that the
aiiied generals will go into conference
with the high commissioners on cer-
tam serious differences which have
arisen at Mudania.
Various explanations for the san.r.
at'on of the delegations are given. in
.ne funaors which quickly deyelooed
mere The one most generally CREDIT
ed relates to the evacuation Of Con-
ssantlnople. According to unofficial.
information, 1smet Pasha, the nation
anst representative, suddenly raised
the question at the afternoon co,-
ference of the evacuation of of Com
stantinople. General Harrington re-
pied that that would come after the
conclusion of the peace treaty as set
forth in the joint allied note.
lsmet insisted repeatedly on an
carrier evacuation and it was found
impossible to reach an agreement for
the present on this important point
General Mombelli, of Italy, supported
General Harrington, but the Frencb
delegate, General Charpy, was non.
comittal. At this juncture NJ. Frank
lin Bouillon, the special French envoy
intervened declaring that he had been
instructed to answer the Turkish de-
mand. The discussion grew very
warm and the allied gentiles adjourn
ed to confer with the commissioners
at Constantinople. Both General
Harrington and General Mombelli have
asked for further instructions from
their governments. If these are re-
celved in time it is possible the COM
ference will be resumed tomorrow.

MRS MoAD WINS $4,000 VERDICT

The case of Mrs. Belle Moad, widow
of Fred e. BIoad, Frisco engineer, was
concluded yesterday in the Circuit
Court az Joplin after a three days
trial, when she was awarded $4,000
Judgment against the Frisco Railway
Company.
Mr.. Moad was road engineer of
the company, and was injured at Carl
Junction, Missouri on January 18th,
1922, while assisting the fireman to
take coal at the coal dhute. Large
Jumps of coal escaped from the chute
and hit the clinker bar, causing it to
strike Mr.. Moad and knock him from
the tender, and his back was broken
when he struck the ground. He lived
five days after the injury.
Mrs. Moad through her attorneys,
Sizer and Gardner of Monet, filed
suit against the Frisco, claiming that
her husbands death was caused by
the negligence of the company in
furnishing coal in too large Jumps and
of unusual size. The case was hotly
contested and attracted a great deal
Of attention among railroad men, as
Mr.. Moad was weIl known among the
employees of the company.
The jury awarded her $4,000 for
her peeuniary loss, and $1,000 for
pain and suffering Of Mr.. Moad before
his death, totalling $4,000 in all.
