GREEKS SHOW ALARM.
Say Their Representatives Have
Not Had Opportunity.

By the Associated Press.
ATHENS, October 5.-Consterna-
tion was caused here by Constan-
tinople wireless message picked up
late last night by local station,
purporting to give the armistice con-
ditions arranged by the Turks and
the allies at the Mudania conference.
The conditions outlined in the mes
sage include the occupation of eastern
Thrace by allied forces and Turkish
gendarmes up to the line of the River
Martha and evacuation of the
province within ten days by the
Greek army. failing which the allied
fleets would blockade Greece.
Government officials declare the
Greek delegates have not yet had an
opportunity to present their views at
Mudania. and efforts to confirm the
above report are being made.
Consider Appeal to L.
1t is understood that the officials
are considering an appeal to the
United States for assistance in OBJ
tanning a Just solution Of the
Thracian question.
The Mudania conference is being
watched by the Greeks with mingled
fears and hopes. To save Thrace,
dethrone Constantine, oust the gov
eminent and punish those who in
capably governed Greece in the past
was the popular basis for the recent
revolution. 1t will be exceedingly
difficult for those now governing
Greece to tell their followers that
the chief aim of the revolution-the
retention Of Thrace - cannot be
achieved.
The suggestion is made that If
oriental Thrace must be lost Greece
insist upon some kind of autonomous
rule these, and. above all. an agree
ment that no Turkish troops shall
exercise dominion over the country
IN other words, Turkish sovereignty
without military control.
Gen. Nider has been appointed COM
chief Of the Greek army,
The government hopes further to re-
inforce the army through the popular
call for volunteers for service until
the end of the conflict with Turkey,
issued by the minister of war yes
terday.
Greece feels that her readiness to
defend Thrace must be taken into ac-
count both in arranging the armi-
stice and later at the peace confer
ence.

NORTH BAY, Ontario, October o.
Forest fire refugees arrived here to-
day from Haileybury and reported
that between SO and 100 persons had
been drowned when they were crowd
ed from dock where they were try
ing to board a rescue ship.
Another report brought by the refu-
gees was that scores had been in
jured and several trampled to death
when flames swept the Catholic
Church and caused a panic among
hundreds who had gathered there for
safety.
Among the refugees who arrived on
the boat were Michael Burns, his wife
and five children, who were rescued
from their blazing home at Haley
bury. on Lake Temiskaming. They de-
clared the crush at the dock was in
describable and that many were push
ed, screaming into the water.
Train Service Crippled.
"At least fifty were drowned. and
possibly hundred" declared A. P.
Whitlock. a travelling representative
of Swift & Co., who was badly burned
about the arms and hands. He had
got the burns while working with q
rescue squad at North Cobalt

The entire countryside is covered

Soon after midnight George W. Lee,
chairman of the Temiskaming and
Northern Ontario railway issued this
statement concerning the nre now rag
ing in the, north country: s.-.-
"Over hve thousand people have been
rendered homeless. The loss Of life is
considerable and is mounting. The
towns of Haileybury, $500 people !;
North Cobalt, 1000: Charlton. 500 and
Heaslip. ESQ. are totally destroyed. and
the town of Englehart has been partially
destroyed. That part of New Liskeard
west Of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario tracks has been totally de-
stroyed.
THE situation at Cobalt is clear
There is small fire burning one mile
away with mild southwest wind
blowing.
Three trains with twenty-four
cars, containing 1,4OO refugees, have
left Cobalt for North Bay. Other
trains are being prepared as rapidly
as possible.
THE property loss will obviously
run into millions Of dollars. The
fire is still burning briskly, famed
by a subsiding wind.
There is no prospect of rain and
the fire will have to burn itself out.

Area of Ten Feet
Gets Rain, Rest
OF ToWn Dry
Special Dispatc to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA,, October 5.-The
residents of a ten-foot section Of
Washington street have been
treated to the doubtful pleasure
Of being rained upon since Friday.
while their neighbors. only few
feet distant, have been basking in
the bright October sunshine.
The phenomenon presents a stu
alton that is interesting scientists
and laymen alike. Last Friday
rain began to drizzle down upon a
section of Washington street near
Wolfe, not more than ten feet
square. 1t gradually increased in
volume until it reached the pro-
portions of a fairly heavy shower.
Since that time the rain has con-
tinued, sometimes heavy and at
others melting away to barely
perceptible driZzle. But never has
the rain moved from its ten-foot
area, falling there with such regu-
larity that one might imagine it
to be coming from a hose directed
at the spot.
Weather bureau officials. queried
concerning Alexandria's wet
spot" declared 1t was most re-
markable, indeed" adding that it
was a physical impossibility."
The Stars correspondent, how-
ever, is known to be truthful as
well as abstemious man.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 5.-Counsel for
the striking railway shop crafts to-
day were given another twenty-four
hours to file their answer to the gov
ernment's suit for a nationwide per-
manent injunction.
Donald Richberg, attorney for the
shop craft leaders, criticized the attt-
tude of Attorney General Daugherty
and Solicitor General Beck and at
tempted to read into the record a
long letter to Mr.. Beck. but on OBJ
lection of Blackburn EsteTline; the
James H. Wilkerson stopped the
reading.
Mr.. Richberg suggested that the
court call in the other two circuit
judges to assist in trying the case.
reserving the right to make a formal
motion to that effect later if the court
rejected the suggestion. He argued
that the governments bill was sufi-
cient notice on which to call the
other judges, within the meaning OF
the law providing for the filing OF
a certificate by the Attorney General.
The argument will be continued to-
morrow.
Mr. Richberg also served notice he
will present a motion asking for a
bill of particulars from the govern
ment before filing his answer.
Says Good Faith Lacking.
Mr.. Richberg accused the Depart
ment Of Justice of lack of good
faith in the proposal to expedite
final disposition of the Injunction
case against the rail strike leaders.
He declared that he and associate
counsel had "held very unsatisfac-
tory conference" with Beck after a
futile attempt to see Attorney General
Daugherty in Washington with ref
erence to an early final hearing or a
review of the interlocutorXin3 in3pnc ton
handed down by Judge WilkeSoeA on
September rs.
The shop crafts attorney said he
rights of the defendants through orders
which the court may enter and through
procedure, which the court may adopt.
despite the manifest opposition of the
Attorney General to the entry OF any
order or the adoption Of any procedure
which will protect the defendants from
the abuse of official power"
Rnps Equity Procedure.
"The use of the summary equity pro-
cedure to obtain a tentative conviction
Of 100000 men of criminal conspiracy
upon evidence found solely in an undi-
gested mass Of ex parte aff1davits seek
ing with hearsay and perjury, has been
made the means of depriving these men
of liberty and property SO long as the
interlocutory injunction remains in
force" the letter said.
Safeguards protecting "the vilest,
most notorious criminal caught red
handed have been denied to 100000 in
dustrious, law-abiding citizens and their
chosen leaders," the letter continued.

WOULD APPEAL DIRECT.

An invitation that an agreement
be reached between the government
and counsel for the striking shopmen
as to the facts in the Chicago injunc-
ton case, was the basis of the pro-
posal made by the Department of
Justice to Donald r. Richberg, attor-
ney for the shopmen. in answer to
his request for information as to the
departments attitude regarding ef-
forts to expedite further judicial
consideration.
Solicitor General Beck. in a letter
written to Mr.. Richberg following
the latter's appearance here early
this week, suggested that. the shop
men counsel submit such a state
ment Of stipulated facts. which the
department would consider with a
view to deciding whether it was sat
iSfactory to the government as a basis
for further action.
Would Hasten Appeal.
Acceptance of such statement, Mr..
Beck pointed out. would eliminate
the necessity of taking thousands of
pages of testimony and thus would
ing the appeal.
In case counsel for the shopmen
declined to agree to such stipulation,
Mr.. Beck said, two courses only
seemed open to the government One
was that the testimony producted in
the preliminary hearing before Judge
Wilkerson be accepted as final testi-
mony for the ultimate hearing and
the appeal on constitutional grounds
be carried out In such case, Mr..
Beck said, the government would be
willing to lend its every assistance to
expedite sach appeal. The only re-
naming course, the Solicitor General
said, would be to proceed with the
case in the ordinary judicial manner,
taking testimony throughout the
United States regarding the various
acts Of alleged illegality which fol-
lowed the strike call and completing
to the last detail the governments
preparation for defense of an appeal,
Favors Direct Appeal.
ut seems to the department" Mr..
Beck's letter continued. that the
best method of expediting the cause
Is to follow the course which would
permit of a direct appeal to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
Presumably that court will, sooner or
later, be called upon to consider the
respective contentious Of the parties
to this litigation; and even If the
course which you suggested, Of hav-
ing three circuit judges sit as a court
of first instance, were now practfca-
BILE, in view of the fact that a district
Judge already has taken cognizance
of the case. the cause would not be
expedited, but, in our judgment, de-
layed."
