MUSSOL|N| To
REMAIN AWAY
Italian Premier Will Not
Attend Conference of
Premiers in Paris

ROME, Dec. 2S.-By The Associ.
ated Press.) = Premier Mussolinl in
formed his cabinet today that he
would not attend the conference of
allied premiers in Paris next week.
The premier announced he would
appoint Marquis Torretta, ambassador
to Great Britain, as head of the Ital-
liam delegation to the Paris confer
ence, with Marquis Raggi and Signor
Danelio, members of the reparations
commission, as assistants.
Mussolini's reasons for not going to
Paris were, first, that the internal
situation demanded his presence in
Italy, and second, that there had not
been such diplomatic preparation as
to give hope of a speedy agreement
at Paris and he foresaw difficulties
between England and France.
1t also was reported that he said
he had found when abroad that he
was welcomed not as head of the gov
ernment but as leader of the Fascist
and that he did not wish to disturb
the tranquility Of a country in which
he was a guest. He has therefore de-
cided to appoint special delegation
for the conference.
Reviewing the internal situation,
Mussolini said it was improving. It
was the governments intention to put
an end, once for all time, to the con-
flicts between the Fascist and Com
munists. To this end the projects
throughout the country had been or
dered to keep their police forces mo-
bilized every Saturday from midnight
to the following Sunday at midnight
in readiness to suppress outbreaks.

BODY BELIEVED
THAT Of BANDIT
Attempted Hold-up in Empty
Box Car Results in Death
of One of Robbers

PRESCOTT, AriZ.. Dec. 2S.-An un-
identified body, believed that of a ban
dit killed in pistol duel in an empty
box car enroute from Del Rio to Ash
fork, Ariz., early this week, was found
when the box car was searched at
Ash Fork by Special Officer F. F. Bart
lett of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad. it was learned here today
Walter Edward Gibson arriving in
Ash Fork, told authorities he was rid
ing toward Ash Fork in the box car
when two men approached him and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
A scuffle ensued, Gibson declared,
and one of the bandits started shoot
ing. Gibson drew a gun and exchang-
ed half a dozen shots with his assail-
ants and then ran to the door of the
car
When Special Officer Bartlett
searched the car described by Gibson
he found the body.
Three Mexicans also told authori-
ties they had been held up and robbed
by two men in a coal car at Del Rio.
Gibson was exonerated of blame for
the shooting by Justice of the Peace
William Seymour of Ash Fork.

CONFAb
WAY SPLIT ON
CAP|TULAT|ONS
Turkey Fails of Convincing
Powers Her Courts Offer
Adequate Protection
SCORES ISMET'S FEARS
Child's Warning to Turkey
Creates Marked Impression
on Assembled Delegates

LAUSANNE, Dec. %. (By The
Associated Press )-Ismet Pasha has
failed to persuade the United States
and the European powers THAT Turk
ish laws and Turkish courts afford
adequate protection to the life and
property of foreigners residing in
Turkey, and the Near East conference
stands in grave danger of breaking
up on this question.
Europe and America insist that spe-
cial courts, upon which foreign judges
sit, must administer justice to foreign
ers in Mustapha Kemal's republic
Ismet Pasha declares that such courts
would be an infringement on Turkish
sovereignty. In fact, he reiterated
this declaration so often at today's
stormy meeting of the commission on
capitulations that Lord Curzon re-
torted:
Il beg that Ismet Pasha wrap up
and place carefully away in a cup
board this question of Turkish SOW
ereignty, which nobody wishes in the
least to offend Turkey is not the
only country which enjoys sovereign
ty; many other powers have it, and
frequently greater powers than Tur-
key submit questions to international
tribunals without fear of impairing
their sovereign rights
Ismet had declared that Turkish
laws and Turkish courts were the
equol of any in Europe so often, Lord
Curzon continued, that he had actu-
ally come to believe it.
But the important thing is not
what the Turkish delegation thinks
about Turkish Justice" added Curzon,
but what the rest of the world thinks
about it. England's King George ~
convinced himself that he led the
guards at the battle of Waterloo, but
nobody else ever believed it, and his
tory does not record it.
THE plain truth is, Turkish laws
are based on Moslem law and were
drawn by Moslem jurists and theolo-
gians. The judges were uneducated,
poorly paid and dilatory. The same
is true of the police, and the whole
mechanism of Turkish justice is de-
fective. Under Turkish courts for
eigners cannot conduct business in
Turkey and it would be impossible for
Turkey alone to get the machinery,
transport and food necessary for her

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Senate
warfare over the Borah proposal

reached a dramatic turning point
today when President Harding threw
the full force of the administration
against Senator Borah's plan as con-
tanned in an amendment to the naval

read in the senate virtually asked
for its defeat.
Another days general debate fol-
lowed. but action went over Plans
were made for vote tomorrow but
so many senators desired to speak
that, with forces favoring the Borah
rider reported sparring for time in
effort at recruiting, delay over New
Years holiday appeared possible. De-
feat of the amendment was predicted
positively by administration leaders
and conceded, upon the present sta
tus Of the battle, by its champions.

TROOPS READY
To MOVE UPON
SHORT NOTICE
Two Confessions Reported to
Have Been Handed Over
to State Authorities
IMMUNITY is GRANTED
Arrest of Some Named Will
Be Made Before Opening
of Hearing in January

BASTROP, La, Dec. 2S.-(By the
Associated Press)-Forty-five persons
were implicated in the Morehouse kid
naping and murders of last August,
according to two confessions reported
late today as delivered by department
of justice men to the state authorities
at New Orleans.
The states legal office at New Or
leans declined to comment on the sub
ject stating they would neither deny
nor affirm it.
The confessions will not be made
public. it was regarded here, until the
open hearings begin at Bastrop in Jan
uary.
1t was stated the signers of the con-
fession have been granted immunity
by the state and are being secreted
along with other witnesses and will
be called upon to testify.
However, it is regarded here as
probable the arrests of some more of
the men named will occur before the
opening hearing begins. One indica-
ton that the state is prepared for
some activity is seen in the order is
sued today to the national guard com
pany at Mer Rouge to be prepared to
move at short notice. These troops
were stationed there to hold down a
possible outbreak among the citizens
of that community who are in hostile
camps and were also assigned to as
sist the civil authorities in making ar
rests
The suspects are reported as under
constant surveillance of secret serv-
ice men and no difficulty was anti
cipated in locating those who are des-
ignated for arrest.

of the state, the attorney general, his
staff of legal assistants and four de-

Implicate As In Moorehouse kidnapping
Success of Wilson Fund is
Now Assured Ex- President
is Told on sc tn Birthday

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.- Friends
of Woodrow Wilson who are raising
$1,O0O,OO0 fund for the perpetuation
of his ideals, celebrated his sixty-siXth
! birthday today by sending him word
through a delegation which called at
his S street home, that the success
of the movement was assured.
At the same time, the senate adopt
ed a resolution offered by Senator
Harris, Democrat, of Georgia, express
ing pleasure and joy at his recov-
cry toward health. The resolution
was put through quickly with a Choir
us of ayes from the Democratic side
of the chamber, many of the Republi-
can senators engrossed in other mat
ters, apparently paying no attention
TO its purport.
The former president spent his
birthday quietly. For an hour or more
group of men and women stood in
that he might appear to greet them,
but all they saw of the wartime pres
ident was a glimpse of him as he
drove off in his limousine late in the
day for his daily ride
During the day, messages of felicity
came to Mr.. Wilson from all parts of
the world. A few close friends called
to extend greetings, the delegation
representing the Woodrow Wilson
foundation arriving at 8 o'clock, for
a forty minute visit. In the group
were Hamilton Holt and Mrs. Charles
e. Simonson of New York City; Mrs.
J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston and Miss
Caroline Ruutz-Rees of Greenwich,
Conn, all members of the foundations
executive committee.
The delegation told Mr.. Wilson that
contributions to the funG already had
passed 100000, probably now approx
imately 100000 and would in the near
future undoubtedly reach the $1,000
900 mark The former president was
reported to have expressed satisfac-
tion over the success of the movement
and its purpose.
Mr. Wilson was in excellent spirits
members of the delegation said, and
apparently was in better health than
at any time since he was stricken
with illness. Mrs Wilson and Miss
Margaret Wilson, the former presi-
dents daughter, joined him in receiv-
ing the visitors in the library
An embossed copy of the resolution
adopted by the senate was sent to Mr.
Wilson by Vice President Coolidge

ASTORIA FIRE
'|NCEND|ARY'
Clues Found That Will Lead
to Arrests, 1t Is Reported
Following Investigation

ASTORIA, Ore, Dec. 2S.-Investiga-
tion by deputies from the state fire
marshars office investigating the fire
which wiped out the business district
of Astoria December has resulted
in the finding that the fire was of in
cendiary origin, it was announced to-
day. 1t was said clues have been
found which will lead to arrests.
The information upon which the
fire marshars deputies have been
working has been in their hands since
the day after the fire, but owing to
the need for secrecy while clues were
being developed, the investigation was
carried on under cover, it was said.
Early on the morning of the fire, E.
N. Bussing, field superintendent of
the Astoria Water department was
awakened and when he was informed
of the seriousness of the conflagra-
tion went to his telephone to order
the cutting off of the water service
from all of the residence district, it
is understood, in order to allow con-
centration of the water pressure in
the fire stricken area. He found his
telephone wires had been cut.
Bussing thereupon discovered that
his house had been entered and the
telephone wires severed inside his
dwelling He found an open window
through which entry had been made
and other clues which may lead to the
arrest of the men who cut the connec-
tions.
Bussing gave his information to the
state fire marshaPs office the next
day, and special investigators have
since been at work on the case. Sus.
poets are under surveillance, but no
arrests have been made.
