For two days and nights the detec-
tives stayed in the baggage room and
yesterday morning an expressman
came with a check for the trunks. The
detectives waited until he had loaded
them on his automobile truck and then
accosted him. He did not know whom
the trunks belonged to, He was to
take them to the French Line pier,
where some one would claim them, he
said.
The detectives identified them selves
and changed places with the express
man and his helper. They drove to the
pier and were met by the man who
later identified himself AS Cepek. At
the police station Cepek was searched.
Sewed in his shirt was $1,000. He had
$615 in his pocket and there was $40 in
a money belt.
The prisoner said that he had started
from Elyria with his old friend, Andy
Kirchowich, and that they had been on
their way back to Czecho-Slovakia. At
Cleveland, he said, Andy had given him
$3.50 to keep for him and had then gone
away and had not returned.
The detectives told him that he was
suspected of having killed his friend.
He denied it. He wouldn't hurt Andy
for the world, he said.
Cepek was locked up at Police Head
quarters, pending the arrival of Sher-
iff Rackus

Gompers Denounces Rail
Executives as Agstocrats

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-Samuel
Gompers to-day denounced railroad ex-
ecutives as assuming an autocratic po-
sition in rejecting part of the plan of
President Harding in the railroad
strike. The American Federation of
Labor head was here to participate in
a conference of the State Federation of
Labor to frame a protest against the
sending of troops into the bituminous
coal fields of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Gompers said:
at shows when government pressure
is eXerted the workingman is expect
Cd to accept and resentment is at once
u'anifested when he does not yield.
Here the railroad executives just as
sumo the position of masters of all they
survey, take an autocratic position in
regard to transportation and spurn the
plan proposed by the President"

Canal Rights

PARIS, Aug. 2 (By The Associated
Press).-After a controversy of more
than two years between the Allies and
the Germans over the right Of the

ences to arise between Germany and
the Allies after the war has been re-
ferred to the International Court, and
II was said in Allied circles here to-day
that prompt disposition of the, matter
might be followed by the court being

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2 (By The
Associated Press. with the proca
nation of autonomy for Smyrna by the
Greek Governor General, new com
plications have arisen with the En-
tente, in the opinion Of officials here
The effect of the proclamation upon
Allied and Turkish quarters has been
most startling.
The Turks maintain that the deci-
sion Of the Greek government making
Ionia an autonomous state is in op-
position to the Allied propositions OF
March 26 and to the provisions of the
Treaty of Sevres.
In some Allied and political circles
it was assorted that this step by the
Greek government is the forerunner Of
the transference of Ionia to the
Sultan's government.
In execution of the new policy, the
Greek government is recruiting natives
of Asia Minor for the purpose of re-
placing Greek troops, which will be
already been moved to Rodosto
The Angora government already has
declared the Greek proclamation null
and void, and the Sublime Porte is
expected to make an official protest to-
morrow
A large party of Greek newspaper
men arrived in Constantinople last
Saturday to report the Greek entry
into the city but, finding little to oc-
cupy their attention since their arri-
val, they are now planning to return to
Athens.
American tourists who arrived on
steamships to-day had received news
by wireless that the Greeks were at
tempting to occupy the city, and were
surprised to find no difficulty in land
ing. They were equally surprised to
find all the bazaars open for business
as usual.
Constantinople breathed easier to-
day under the general conviction that
the danger of an attack on the city by
the Greeks had been averted.

hour. 1t was the first meeting since
the strike was called on Tuesday morn

S-48 Gets Second Test
Submarine Which Sank ON
First Trial Again in Action

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 2.--The
United States submarine S-4s, which
sank off this harbor last December
while on its trial trip, had its second
test on Long Island Sound to-day.
The giant undersea craft was in charge
of Captain J. ]. Barnett, of the Lake
Torpedo Boat Company, builders of the
boat. The trial plans call for maneu-
vers 100 feet below the surface
Since the accident last December,
which imperiied the lives of forty-one
men, the craft has been reconditioned
at New London and this city. The sink
ing of the boat was attributed to the
fact that manhole was left open
when the submarine dived.

been submitted. They will suffer no
loss in abandoning a host of futile
lawsuits, complaining Of wrongs which
have never been committed. 1t is
understood that the Labor Board must
confirm its previously announced po-
stion and that the railways must
abandon the condemned practice of
contracting out work and shops and
restore the employees to their former
status. 1t should be noted that this
practice is not only violation of the
transportation act and the decisions
of the board, but, as shown by many
of the charter obligations of the rail
roads and would have peen unlawful
without the passage of the transporta-
tion act or any action by the Labor
Board.
"We understand that an effort will
be made to insure the setting up of a
board of adjustment, but inasmuch as
such board can function effectively
only with the full cooperation of both
arrangements and employees, we can
look merely with hope, and not with
certainty for the establishment of this
essential part of the machinery to de-
eide disputes between the carriers and
their employees In the mean time,
upon advice from you Of the expressed
acceptance of your terms of agree
ment contained in your telegram of
July 81, by all carriers, we will take
the responsibility of directing the en-
ployees to return to work, and upon
the confidence that by action of the
Labor Board upon rehearing Of the re-
cent controverted decisions a DELAYED
justice will be rendered to the en-
ployees in the matter Of wages and
working conditions.
Public Opinion Invoked
"We should certainly assume that
the railway executives, in their own
obvious interest, eventually will accept
the proposals made, unless their coun-
sells are dominated sufficiently by anti
labor forces to resist even the pressure
Of public opinion exerted through your
high office and to carry on to the bitter
end Nihilistic policy of attempting
to destroy the self-protecting, demo-
cratic institutions Of organized labor.
We can hardly believe that such a
counsel of folly will finally prevail
within the railroad managements
ut, therefore, appears that upon the
organizations of railway executives and
employees rests the immediate respon-
sibilitty of serving the public interests
IN bringing about resumption of eff
icient operation of the railroads. I'm
der pressure of this responsibility we
have voted by the requisite constitu-
tional majority to accept the terms of
agreement which you have submitted to
US. We accept reluctantly, it is true.
but commit ourselves to carry out the
terms of settlement in utmost good
faith and in aid Of the general well
fare. If these proposals, fail to bring
about the results which you desire, the
responsibility Of failure will not rest
upon the representatives of the organ

Union motion picture operators voted
at meeting yesterday in Mansion
House, st. Marks Place, to strike Sep
tember l, when their present contracts
with the theater owners expire.
Union officials declared the strike
will force many of the theaters to close.
They said the decision to strike had

Moross, secretary Of the Theater Own
ers' Chamber of Commerce
"The theater owners are not vet
ready to tell the inside story the
real reason for the unions action" he
said, "but when they do reveal this
the public is going to hear some aston
