WANT
NATIONAL HOME
WITHIN TURKEY
Request to Be Presented to
Lausanne Conference;
Dominion Form of Gov
ernment Is Asked

Lausanne, Dec. % (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The Armenian plea
for the establishment OF an Armen-
ian national home in Turkey will
be presented to the Near Eastern
conference tomorrow by President
Noradunghian Pasha of the Ar
menian national delegation. He
was once minister of foreign af-
fairs in the Turkish cabinet and
has been invited to appear before
the commission on minorities
to explain the desires Of the Ar
enian people.
The Turks have announced their
decision not to attend this meeting.
For one thing, they say, they have
made up their minds definitely not
to set aside any part of Turkey
for the Armenians; for another,
they assert that as the Armenians
are Turkish subjects they should
plead their cause before the Turks,
not before the conference as a
whole. .......
Noradunghian says that his peo-
pie will accept any locality in Tur-
KEY which the conference decides
upon and also q dominion form OF
government under the Turks sim
liar to that enjoyed by Canada and
Ireland under the English. II the
territorial limits of the republic OF
Erlyan are to be extended and Fri
van proclaimed the real home OF
the Armenians, then he thinks Rus
sia should be asked to guarantee
the independence of Erivan, Hhich
now threatens to become a Russian
bolshevlki province.
The Rev. George R. Montgomery
of New York and Connecticut, dl-
rector of the Armenian-American
Society, who is in Lausanne labor
ing for the cause of the Armenian
people, said tonight that the goal
OF all the friends of Armenia wa.
to procure a national home under
conditions which would provide
some inspiration for the Armenians
in the future; he had not aban-
doned hope that some territory
would be set aside for this purpose,
The Rev. Mr.. Montgomery has

ally favors allocating a section OF
Southeastern Cecilia to the Armen-
ians, making it an autonomous
state, perhaps under the superVis-
ion of the league of nations.
~ want to emphasize the justice
Of the proposition for an Armen'
ian home" he said, from the
standpoint of the allies who have
made definite promises and from
the standpoint of the Turks, be-
cause Of the right of the Armen'
is~s, in view of the terrible plighl
of the refugees, to have small
section Of Turkish territory sci
aside for them"
He estimated that a million Ar
menians reside in Erivan, and AGO.
600 in the Trans-Caucasus; there
are 102, 900 in Greece and the Aeg,
can islands. 5000 in Syria ant
about 10000 refugees in Constan,
tinople. The exodus has reduced
the Armenians in Asia Minor tt
10000. He thought that abou'
| 25O,000 would be immediately
available for the proposed natlona
home and concluded;
"And let us not forget that there
are $4,000 Armenian orphans we
must take care Of somehow"

ENGINEER DISCOVERS
MEN TEARING UP RAIL
AHEAD OF FAST TRAIN

Chicago, Dec. 25.--An attempt
tonight to wreck train No. of the
Santa Fe railroad, a flyer carrying
mail and several pullman cars
bound for Texas and oklahoma,
was reported Wy the crew when
the train reached Joliet, its first
stop.
The engineer was slowing down
for the station when he noticed
several figures apparently working
over the rails IN the glare of the
headlight and stopped so suddenly
that passengers were thrown from
their seats. He reported that an In
vestigation disclosed that IA spikes
had been drawn and the fish plates
torn aside. One complete section
of the rails had been loosened.

tie controversial questions and aid
in the recuperation Of Europe"
He declared that 'it has now be-
come fairly incumbent upon the
United States to indicate precisely
and officially, what arc the terms,
conditions and limitations under
which America would be prepared
to take part in an organized and
permanently established interna-
tional effort to aid the mainte-
nance of peace and promote under
standing, fair dealing and good will
among the nations"

In contention of his opinion the
district attorney quotes the state
supreme court as follows: IAN
incumbent in office is not ousted
by the mere election of appoint
ment of his successor, when the
statutes require such officer to
qualify for office by doing certain
acts, his right to the office not
being complete until he has qua'-
flied for the same as directed.
If it is decided that D vacancy
will exist there is no doubt but
that the county commissioners
will have the right to fill the va.
cancy by appointment. No SUI
preme court decision on ques.
ton similar TO this one has been
rendered in New Mexico, SO that
there can be no certainty as to
how this question will finally be
decided.

About 500 Names to Be Placed
on Lists, Of Which 500 win
Be Eligibles.
WORK is TO BEGIN TODAY
Still a Few Kinks to Be I'm

Pass on Plays.

A beginning WIN be made to-day In
the rooms OF the Society of American
Dramatists In West Forty-fifth street
toward selecting the New Workers.. men
and women. who in q large sense viii
control the theatcr. Representatives Of
the Better Shows Movement and Of the
various theater interests involved. SUCH
as the producing managers. the actors
and the riaywrights, win meet to pre-
sent lists of names OF persons consid-
cred tentatively as suitable for the CEN
sorship duty.
Fifty names will be handed in by
every one Of the organizations connected
with the movement TO clean up the thea
ter. about 500, probably. in all. 1t is
likely that a panel or 800 will be se-
lected, but it may take several days to
accomplish that end. The final list, so
far as the conference Is concerned, will
then be handed TO the Mayor. who win
be at liberty TO add to it.

tate with the conference. 1t was said
last night that little difficulty is likely
to stand in the way Of complete un-
derstanding between the managers and
the rest of the Interests.
The Producing Managers Association
has signed the voluntary censorship
contract, under which all concerned are
obligated to accept the verdict OF a jury
or twelve citizens, drawn from a panel.
as to the character OF any play against
which complaint is made. The meeting
to-day is to iron out few wrinkles in
the agreement.
1t Is not likely that the voluntary CEN
sorship plan will be put into operation
at once. The season is nearing its end,
AS matter OF fact. and the conference
IS expected to await the opening OF the
1s22-23 season.

De Wolf Hopper is the presiding genius
over a summer show of his own arrange

shown at the Jolson Theater on Satur-
day night for the first time. De Wolf
Hoppers Funmakers are the actors. and
they will present their vaiel program
SO long as the public continues to take
an interest. r. II. Burnside came to the
aid of Mr.. Hopper in putting the long
but brislly moving program before the
public. e1t
Mr.. Hopper represented Comic Opera
when a highly allegorical scene opened
the evening. He wore a crown, carried
q scepter. and was not unlike one of the
characters he used to portray long ago.
Some of the other figures incarnated here
were Minstrelsy. Grand Opera, Tragedy.
Musical Comedy, Melodrama aud the
various forms of public entertainment.
Most OF them were represented during
the evening. 1t was with minstrelsy. OF
course by that negro minstresly was
meant. that the evening really began.
Through a transparent background the
players were seen preparing themselves
to be black enough for illusion
Then the old fashioned first part was
revealed, with Mr.. Hopper as the inter-
locutor with the polysyllabic vocabulary.
1t was an old fashioned first part, how
ever. with a difference. The black face
funny men were banked up at the hack
of the stage. But feminine loveliness
was also present. More OF 1. was added
as the scene progressed. The popular
musical plays of the day were repre-

In this division some OF the humor pos

MAE MURRAY IN
SPANISH ROMANCE
More ViUocious Than EUer in
PhotopIay Fascination.
CAPITOL-Miss Mae Murray in .Fas-
cination," Tiffany production by
Robert z. Leonard, distributed by

Robert n. Leonard, distributed by
Metro.
Spain is still hectic land on the
screen. where almost anything might
happen. so that a photoplay may even
depart from normal and become unex-
pected. The dead may be brought back
to life, for instance. In Fascination"
that appears to be what happens in or
der that Miss Mae Murray in the end
may appear. starry eyed and alive.
though no longer kicking, as in an ear
lier dance.
Moreover. her recovery Is all the more
miraculous because she has been stabbed
by an expert in his line. He is Cdsvifa,
Spanish bullfigslter and hero of the city.
who has come to call on the father OF
Dolores with the laudable purpose of
making him marry CdrTttd's mother and
squaring the past. But the father re-
fuses even the honor Of acknowledging
himself the parent OF the most noted
toreador. Just then Dolores runs in
after having escaped various .peris and
gotten her hair wet in the rain. She is
just in time to intercept the enraged
toreadors dagger smack In the place
where her fan Is held. Miss Murray
gives a desperate gasp and sinks ap-
parently lifeless in the arms Of her
American lover. whereupon the specta-
tor gives a gasp at finding her quite
alive soon after. Coincidence is taxed
severely in this story but seems to stand
the strain. il is a rather out of the way
tale of young woman who impulsivcly
runs away from home restraint-one
realizes she naturally would do this. be-
cause. while her father was Spanish her
mother was American. While following
her incurable bent for fascinating men
she starts the family skeleton rafting
loudly.
Groups In the picture are constantly
rushing off from one gilded haunt to
another for no particular reason, but
since the action Is crowded into the
space of twenty-four hours they presum-
ably have to move fast TO keep up with

that is worthy OF the elaborate settings
and costumes lavished on IL, while the
star herself Is more vivacious and varied
than ever. acting well and even being
butted by goat acceptably. That is
