AUTO DEMOLISHES
DISPLAY WINDOW
Car Becomes Uncomfortable,
Goes Up On Curb and
Knocks Down Iron Post.

One of the large plate glass windows
at Watson Parker and Reese store on
Palafox street was completely demol-
ished last night about Z o'clock when
an automobile driven by Mrs. Lieut..
Rasche, 1920 North Baylen street, be-
came uncomfortable, went upon the
curb, knocked down one of the iron
awning supports and finally crashed
into the window.
The driver was practically unhurt
but Mrs. Corrine L. Jordon, 1120 North
Baylen street suffered painfully
wrenched knee.
The car was only slightly damaged.
The damage to the window was esti-
mated at from $500 to $500.
Some OF those who claimed to have
seen the crash, which was heard seve-
raj blocks away, said that the driver
was attempting to back out from the
line of parked autos, while others
stated that Mrs. Rasche had Just driv-
en- up and that the car had never
come to a standstill.
They said evidently the driver made
a mistake between the brake and the
acceierator or that she placed her foot
ION the gas while the gear was in one
OF the forward positions.
Had it not been for the iron post
it Is very likely that another Of the
windows would have been ruined, but
apparently the post, when knocked
loose at the bottom. checked the move
ment Of the car although not enough
to save the window.
officer Roberts. who was nearby but
not close enough to witness the acci-
dent, made an investigation and said
later charge of careles and reckless
driving would be entered.
Lieut.. Rasche, husband of the driver
is now in the hospital from the effects
of an airplane crash about week ago.
He is UNDERGOING flight training at the
Naval Air Station.

Case AGAINST

DECIDED TODAY

Hours Before Expiration of

DEFENSE CLOSES CASE
AND ARGUMENTS BEGUN
Prosecution Drafts Order But
Judge WiIkerson Expected
to Modify It.
tsy The Associated press,

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The governments
suit for a nationwide injunction against
the striking railroad shop crafts win be
decided tomorrow. few hours before
the temporary restraining order now in
force expires.
The defense closed its case today ana
arguments were begun. Blackburn Es-
terline, assistant solicitor general, opened
for the government followed by Donald R.
Richbers, attorney for B. M. Jewell and
John Scott, the strike leaders. Mr.. Rich
berg will complete his arguments to-
morrow. The government has not com
pleted the draft OF the injunction which It
will ask Judge James H Wilkerson to
sign. but there are indications that the
restraining order will be modified
"A nationwide strike. by the sheer
power of its extent, is in itself conspi-
racy against interstate traffic. Mr.. Ester
line contended.
That 100000 men at 1000 points quitting
work in unison is menace to the move
ment of mails and interstate shipments
which the government may rightly seek
to curb, was the substance OF his plea.
He said the 81 federal injunctions OBJ
tained by the various railroads against
the strikers shows the entire weight of
the judicial department Of the govern
nent was called to suppress them. Since
Judge WillSerson issued the nation wide
restraining order September 1, Mr.. Ester
line continued there has been remark
able descrease in violence on many rail-
roads, indicating that the order was ef-
fectfve andproving still further, he added,
that the strike was directed from one
head.
The prosecution citsd supreme court de-
eisions bota under the Sherman act and
the Clayton law, and contended there was
ample precedent for the present pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Richberg compared the refusal of
the shopmen to work at a certain wage
scale and the refusal Of the railroads
which farmed out their shop work to give
work at wage scales fixed by the railroad
labor board.
''I am unable to grasp the distinction
between the inference with interstate
commerce by the refusal Of employees to
work at certain wage, and the interfer-
ence with interstate commerce by the re-
fusal Of the employers to pay certain
wages" Mr.. Richberg said. I'VE have
cited here the case of certain employers
who brazenly Harmed out their shop work
to keep from paying the wages fixed by

PEACE MEETING
SOON TO DECIDE
TURK PROBLEM
Assurance That They Will Be
No War in Near East Made
at Allied Meeting.
EIGHT POWERS GATHER
AT CONFERENCE TABLE
HaTnid Bey Says Turkey Will
Declare War if British
Interfere With Troops.
(sy The Associated Press,

FARlS, Sept. 20.-Definite assurance
that there will be no war in the Near
East and the calling Of a peace conference
for the settlement of the Turkish prob
lem, were the pNief results of the allied
meeting today. Premier Poincare, Lord
Curson and Count sforza participated in
the conference.
The eight interested powers, including
Angora government, will gather around
the peace table within three weeks, prob
ably at Rome or Venice, and make new
treaty with Turkey to take the place of
the treaty of Zevres.
The eight nations called together are
Great Britain. France, Italy, Japan Tur-
key, Greece, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia.
Japan's inclusion at the last minute
came as a surprise. Lord CurZon, the
British foreign secretary, told Premier
Poincare that his government frankly
feared the close relations they had rea-
sons to believe existed between Moscow
and Angora and Japan's presence was de-
sired to- offset this Bolshevik influence.
It also was explained that Japan was a
signatory of the treaty of Zevres and was
entitled to be present.
It is remarked in French circles, how
ever, that Japanese partipation insures
another vote for the British policy. NJ.
Poincare IN consenting to the presence of
Japan, demanded also the presence of
Rumania and Jugo- -Slavia.
1t is regarded as certain that a mere in
timation from the American governme mt
that it desires to attend even as an OBJ
server will be followed by an immediate
invitation from the allies. There is said
to be a strong sentiment in favor of ask
ing the United States to send . represen-
tative but insview of American aloofness
from European asfairs it was decided not
to take the initiative.
