TURKEY REFUSES
HOME FOR ARMENIA
Ismet Pasha Declares Turkey Will
Give No Territory for Armenians
or Other Foreigners.
lBy Associated Press LEASED wire. ]

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
+ Lausanne-Turkey refused at to-
days session Of the NearlEast confer
ence to assign any special part of
Turkey as a national home for the Ar
menians. Ismet Pasha declared this
would mean new attempt to dismem-
Der Turkey.
Ismet Pasha was irreconcilable on
other points concerning the treatment
of minorities in Turkey. Besidse de-
claring Turkey would not set aside an
inch of Turkish soil for an Armenian
national home, he said she would not
accept he regulation of rights of min
critics by an international commission
in Constantinople or elsewhere.
Lord Curzon warned Ismet that
there would be no sympathy anywhere
in the world for Turkey if the con
ference broke down on the question
of the treatment Of minorities.
After long and unsatisfactory dis
cussion the entire question of minori-
ties was referred to sub-commision.
In his declaration regarding the
Armenians, Ismet said there was not a
bit Of territory in Turkey proper or
in its provinces or in Cilicias which
did not contain a Turkish majority,
and no territory which could be de-
tached in any way from the fatherland
for the Armenians.

REVEALED AT HEARING
Commission Hears of the Alleged
False $15O,O0O Transaction Car
ried on by SeyIer Company.
(Bv ASSOCIATED Press LEASED wire.l

(Bv Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison, Wis. Investigation of
contracts for the sale of property by
the NJ. T. G. and >Elbucan Oil com
panies, controlled by the Seyler In
vestment company, to the Royal Gas
company, occupied the hearing today
before the railroad commission on the
complaint against the Seyler concern.
William Seyler, president of the
company, was again on the stand, tes-
tifying about details of the transac-
lions which led to the sole of Seyler
company holdings to the Royal Gas
company, under contracts which some
witnesses said were not validity
executed.
Seyler declared that the sale of the
property, valued at approximately
$150,000, was bonafde and above sus-
.picion. Internal dissension within the
board of directors over an audit Of
the company's accounts and over the
contract with the Royal Gas company,
were outlined by the witness.
The transaction involving $150000
of the company's funds, which turned
out to be af Salse sale by the Seyler
company of so-called state line oil
property to a recently created Royal
Gas company, was disclosed earlier
at the hearing.
J This sale, which it developed later,
was transfer of property without re-
turn to the Seyler company, was made,
according to witnesses, on advice of
William Seyler, president Of the in
vestment company, and without inves-
tigation by the directors.
G. V. Van Meter, president of the
Elbucan Oil company, the securities
Of which the Seyler company sold,
testified that he had executed the con-
tract disposing of the property, with
out reading it. He also said that he
had no idea Of the character of the
Royal Gas company to whom the oil
property was sold.
E. N. Boddington, an attorney of
Kansas City, claimed that he had
drawn the contract of sale which diff
fered in some Of the provisions from
that finally entered into when tie
property was disposed of.
This is one of several transac ions
being investigated by the railroad
commission at it's hearing expected to
last several days.

people who buy and sell furniture think
OF an article which has been produced
by Kenosha brains. We are making no
statements of its value. We want you
and the rest of the people to look at
1t and then see what you say. We are
not making this furniture-yet."
Revolution in Furniture.
The average man who sees this new
steel furniture is going to have Just
one idea and that is that Simmons COM
pany proposed to revolutionize the fur
niture business" declared a big dealer
in Kenosha this morning. "This show
ing of the new product of our big
pIant-and it belongs to all Kenosha-
is an epoch making day in Kenosha and
in the furniture world. Every one who
has seen this new product of Simmons
company knows that a new deal has
come to furniture. He knows that
there is a new product which is going
to appeal to every one for its beauty
and stability and that ultimately this
new product of Kenosha plant is GO
ing to supplant the products of hun
dreds of factories now making and
marketing wood furniture. 1t has so
many advantages over the old furniture
that it is impossible 7ar 7ste all
of them without going into ? or.
OF course, it is hard to convince some
people that steel furniture can be Won
derfully graceful and surprisingly beau
tiful, but Simmons company has
brought this result. If they had every
warehouse of the company in the coun-
try filled with it, it would be sold in
thirty days"
Private View for Just Few.
This morning private view for just
a few was given of the new product.
Two rooms fitted out with the furni-
ture had been arranged in the expert
mental department of the plant for the
especial view of the members of the
board of directors of the company who
come for the annual meeting of the
board on Thursday. Thus far the COM
pany has made only bedroom furniture.
In one room was displayed bedroom
suite made up of twin beds, dresser
and dressing table, lamp table, straight
and rocking chairs. In the first room
the furniture is all in walnut and it is
aimed to display the staple which the
average family wants in the way Of
bedroom furniture.
In the second of the rooms is dis
played the "top Of the line" in the
form of a wonderful suite made to rep
resent the finest circasion walnut. The
furniture in this room had just come
from the kilns and there was no ques-
ton as to the beauty of it. 1t rivaled
in beauty and in the art Of construc-
ton the finest workmanship Of the fur
niture makers art.
Has Many Advantages.
This furniture may be made out Of
steel, but it will take the use of q
magnet to show it. The steel is lined
with asbestos. making the furniture
practically fre-proof. 1t is finished
with a baked enamel which makes it
rust proof, the construction is made
in such a way as to make it mouse and
vermin proof.

KRUGER SEEKS
$4,000 DAMAGES
William Kruger Files Rec
ord Suit Against Street
Railway Co.
FOR LOSS OF AN EYE
Suit BASED. on Street Car Coli
sion Resulting in Injuries
to the Plaintiff.

One of the largest damage suits ever
filed in Kenosha county was placed on
record this morning when William
F. Kruger, owner of restaurant
located at 1901 Prairie avenue, filed a
suit against the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric company for $4,000 damages
as result of injuries which he re-
ceived when a street car operated by
an employee of that company struck
the automobile which he was driving.
The papers were drawn by Judge
Robert Verne Baker, attorney for the
plaintiff, by whom they were filed in
the Office of the clerk of the circuit
court this morning.
The large claim for damages is bas-
ed on the fact that Kruger lost one
of his eyes due to the injuries re-
ceived in the accident. He also receiv-
ed other injuries from which he claims
he has not yet entirely recovered.
Car Struck Automobile.
The complaint describes q in detail
the accident in question, which oc-
CURED on the evening of November
81, 1920, on Market street near the
Fremont avenue crossing 1t alleges
that Kruger was driving his automo-
bile with due care and diligence and
was forced to turn onto the tracks of
the street car line in order to avoid
striking al aue9no fe parked on the
street. It alleges that the motorman
of the street car was operating the Car
"careless1y and neg1igently "at a
high rate Of speed,p striking his au-
tomobile. Kruger was thrown from
the car by the force of the blow re-
ceiving many injuries, One of his eyes
was so injured that it was necessary
to remove it in order to save the sight
Of the other eye, according to the com
plant; it is also alleged that his facial
nerves were also paralyzed.
The complaint alleges likewise that
the motorman did not give proper
warning of the approach Of his car and
thus failed to give the plaintiff an OPP
portunity to avoid the accident
Incapacitated for Long Period.
Following the accident the plaintiff
was in the hospital for several weeks
and incapacitated for work of any
kind for several months. He asks for
damages on this reason.
The suit was not unexpected. 1t is
declared that the suit was expected
by the company and that it is pre-
pared to contest the claim in the
courts. With the exception of the re-
cent suit filed by A. J. Stahl for $50 1000
it is the largest personal damage suit
ever filed in Kenosha county.
