 ARRESTS BY DRY OFFICERS
RICE CHARGES WELLS
 WITH DOUBLE CROSS Bell and Atwater Explain Their Vote on Purchase
 of Automobile

Asserting that the action taken by two members of the garage committed Monday night in recommending the purchase of Hupmobile sedan for the health department is not legal since there was not quorm of the committee present. Councilman Henr, w Rice of the first ward is planning to voice objection at the next council meeting unless another meeting is held in the meantime. The council man further claims that as member of the committee he was double crossed" by it's chairman. Alderman George H. Wells, also of the first ward.
 The committee, met Monday night with Alderman Wells, Councilman Rice, Councilman F. s. Caldwell and w. l.. Bell and Jesse Atwater the last two named being advisory members, in attendance. Councilman Rice left early, having been informed by the chairman, he says, that no action on the purchase of car would be taken until Dr. Lee had been given an op- portunity to try all cars and deter mine which is the best for the uses evening it was voted by the remaining members and the advisors that Hup- mobile be purchased, this being the highest priced car upon which a bid was received.
 The garage committee is composed of five council members, three being a quorum. The resolution under which the committee was created pro- vides that, if it is thought advisable, two outsiders may be named to act in an advisory capacity. City Clerk A. l.. Thompson to whom all reports are submitted asserted in reply to ques- tion today that advisory members have not the right to vote in a com mittee meeting.
 That the objection is not to the type of car purchased, but rather to the alleged departure from the usual methods of transacting business is in dicated by a statement of Councilman Rice today that he would not oppose the purchase Of a Hupmobile. Alder man Peter J. Paicwski, one of those not present at the meeting said that he, too, would favor the type of car which the committee recommends. Statement by Messrs. Bell and Atwatcr

Plan Provides That Waterways Shall be Free to All Ships in Time of War as We'll as in Peace
Turks Are Reported as Favoring Allied Plan, Rather Than Russia's More Drastic Scheme.

Lausanne, Dec. 6, (By Associated Press). ).-The entente plan for keeping open the Straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus in time of peace and war provides for the appointment of an international commission of control. composed of the great pow CTS, including the United States as we'll as Turkey, and the countries bordering on the Black Sea. ss
 Lord Curzon of Great Britain, in the name of the allies, presented the details of the comprehensive project to the Near East conference today.
 Turks Not Insistent.
 change of front on the part of the Turkish delegates was forecast while the conference was in session. A Turkish spokesman outside the auditorium said the Turkish position on the straits control would probably be found nearer to the allied plan than to the Russian.
 Don't Want Navy.
 The Turks, it appears, had sudden ly realized that the Russian plan for control by Turkish warships would force Turkey to build navy. Hence doubts had ariAn in the minds of the Turkish delegates who seemed more disposed to negotiate scheme for naturalization of the straits and the Black. Sea with some form of in- ternational control.
 The allied control plan sets forth a scheme for limitation of the num- Der of warships and the total tonnage to be allowed in the waters under control and gives Turkey and the Black Sea coast the right to say how long warships may remain fin their ports.
 N Suggests Denilitarization.
 The plan suggests the demilitari- ration of the straits. It also gives Turkey the right to search neutral merchantmen in time of war.
 Delegate Barrere of France said tho proposition represented an attempt to solve the straits problem without in- ringing upon the sovereignty of Tur- key or that of any country bordering upon the Black Sea.
 Russia Is Opposed.
 Tn the conference session Richard Washburn Child and Joseph c. Grew presented the views of the United States. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia opposed the allied proposi-1 tion.
 Adjournment was taken until Fri day to permit the Turks to study the proposal.
 America's Viewpoint.
 Ambassador Child set forth the view of the United States independ- ent of that of any other power. He said the United States holds that the straits and the Black Sea must be open to ships and warships of all na- tions in time of peace and of war, and that it opposes any plan which would give one power control, just as it would in any other international water.

C. P. Christian Endeavor.

The Christian Endeavor Society of
the G. P Church was very fortunate
in having two of our Union City girls
with them last Sunday evening. Mrs.
A. Paul Daugherty, who has studied
piano and voice in Milligan and also
in Chicago, sang a solo, Teach Me
to Pray" and Miss Della B. Tucker,
who has been in Washington for the
past few years, gave reading en-
titled SIS Ye?" 1t was indeed a treat
to have these girls back again.
The Bible verse-f1nding contest be-
tween the Juniors and Seniors, which
had been postponed the Sunday even
ing before, was carried out this time.
1t was close and exciting race.
Sometimes the Seniors were in the
lead and sometimes the Juniors
plunged ahead, but it ended with the
Seniors winning GA. Some day we
are going to have a contest between
the Juniors and the Seniors in nam
ing the books of the Bible and NOW
is the time to get busy and learn
them.
The church loyalty contest closed
last Sunday evening with the Whites
in the lead, 690-674 During the
contest, which lasted three months,
there have been % new members
added to the society and the average
attendance at the Sunday evening
prayer meeting has been 81. The
active membership at present is 80
but this will be cut down by the or
ganization of the intermediate So
ciety, many of the members of which
will come out of the Senior Society.
The record shows an average attend
ance at the morning service of 26, at
the evening service %, and at the
midweek prayer meeting of IA.
An event of great Importance in
the Christian Endeavor Life of the
C. P. Church was the organization
last Sunday evening of an Interme-
diate Society for the young people
between the ages of IA and Is years.
They will have as superintendent
Miss nellie Bond, who is well trained
in C. e. work and will build up a

with about fourteen members last
Sunday evening and the following

fin; treasurer, Miss Doris Kirkman.
The need of an intermediate Society
has been felt for a long time and
much interest is being manifested in
its organization.
Last week the society received a
large photograph from General Sec
rotary E. P. Gates with his compli-
ments, and they will have it framed
and hanging in the Endeavor room
next Sunday evening.
