GREECE EXPECTED
TO OPPOSE PLANS
FOR PLEBISCITE
To Combat Any Turkish Pro-
posal for So Deciding West
ern Thrace Issue.

LAUSANNE, Nov. 21.-(By App
1t is learned that Greece probably
will vigorously oppose any Turkish
proposal at the Near East confer
ence here TO hold a plebiscite in
western Thrace TO decide the future
OF that territory and will combat any
claim Of Turkey for indemnity or
separations growing out Of the re-
cent hostilities. Negotiations arc
under way between Greece. Jugo-
Slavia and Rumania 10 defend their
common interests in connection with
the return of the Turks to Europe
under the belief that this may con
stitute a menace TO them in the
future.
Opposition TO the western Thrace
plebiscite is based on the contention
that the Lausanne conference was
not summoned to revise all past
treaties affecting Balkan territories,
but merely 10 revise the treaty OF
Sevres. Greece officially regards the
recent war in Asia Minor as a con-
tinuation Of the Great war, in which
Turkey, as the ally OF Germany
was an aggressor and considers that
any Turkish claims for reparation
are unacceptable and ill-founded.
There is a tendency IN Greek cir
cles 10 consider that the vital IS
sues at Lausanne viii be between
Turkey and the great powers. as
Greece already paid the penalty by
being forced out Of Asia Minor and
by losing eastern Thrace.
Greece will also resist Italian de-
nunciation Of the treaty, whereby
Italy agreed 10 cede the Dodecanese
islands 10 Greece. Advise from
Athens show existence Of apprehen-
sion there that the alleged Italian
demand for greater extension OF
Italian rights in the Mediterranean
may be at the expense or the Greek
nation.
Another source Of the greatest an
Xiety TO the Greks is the future
safety and prosperity Of Greek resi-
dents Of COnstantinople for which
adequate guarantees viii be asked
al Lausanne.

PACIFIST TO HEAD
OPPOSITION IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS
Man Who Opposed World War
Now in Possible Line for
Prime Ministry.

LONDON, Nov. q (By A. p
1t is a strange turn Of the political
wheel which within four years Of
the world war places James Ramsay
Macdonald, a pronounced pacifisC
and opponent of that war. in the
position Of leader of his majesty's
opposition in the British parlia-
ment and, and a sense, the prospec-
tive prime minis er of England in
the event the present conservative
administration suffers a defeat in
the house of commons on any
weighty question during the COM
ing five years.
1t is the custom when the govern
ment resigns or is defeated in par
lament for the retiring prime min
lister to advise the king to summon
the leader Of the opposition to form
new government
Mr.. MacDonald'sN election was a
surprise, the reelection of John
Robert Clynes having been expected.
Mr.. Clynes is considered very able
and is highly though Of, but il Is
possible that his close connection Of
the coalition government as food
controller during the war may have
had something to do with the pre-
ference accorded the present leader
The voting was exceedingly close.
81 for Macdonald and SO for Clynes
and il is understood 10 have been
the Scottish labor members who
turned the scales in favor Of the
former. These Scottish members
are for forcing the pace in parlia-
ment on unemployment and other
questions of interest to the party,
on whom it is supposed Mr. Clynes
would have counseHed going more
slowly.
There is little doubt that the la
Dor party as a whole favored Ram
say Macdonald. owing 10 his su-
perior parliamentary skill, his gifts
as a speaker and his extensive
knowledge Of foreign affairs. but
there was a strong element in favor
Of rejecting Mr.. Clynes, AT least for
the first session OF the new parlia-
ment, out OF gratitude for his serv-
ices to the party during recent
years.

TWO OTHER MEN SHOT
Fugitive Located in Grocery

RICHMOND. Ind, Nov. 21.-(By
A. P)-Officers and posses OF citi-
zens continued tonight 70 scour the
surrounding country in search Of
Donate Fierro, an Italian, who. Off
GERS say, choked to death his wife
and 10-year-old daughter at their
home last night and then this morn
ing shot and killed William Hender-
son. a railroad section foreman and
seriously wounded Grant Perkins
and Charles Hagan. section workers.
Earlier reports that Fierro had
been taken in custody and was be-
ing held in the local jail were denied
tonight by Sheriff Carl Wadman.
The condition of Perkins and Hagan
still remains critical and physicians
express doubt as TO their recovery.
Located. But Vanlshes.
Fierro was located in a grocery
store on the outskirts Of the city
this afternoon, but the proprietor
who was alone at the time had not
then heard Of the killings. Fierro
purchased some cakes and was in
such haste that he would not wait
for his change.
Another person later reported that
he had seen Fierro late IN the aft
ernOon just outside the city and that
Fierro told him what he had done
and that he expected to remain in
this vicinity and get some other men
whom he had previously threatened.
Officers are inclined to accept this.
as Fierro was seen about noon nearly
six miles northwest OF the city and
these later reports OF his reappear-
ance indicate that he is in hiding
near the city and the authorities are
confident of his early capture.
Discharged From Job.
What motive prompted the killing
OF the woman and child has not
been developed. but the theory is
advanced that Fierro killed Hender-
son and shot Perkins and Hagan
presumably thinking they had had
something 10 do with his discharge
from the section gang from when
he was released Nov. II. His re-
lease, railroad officials cay, was due
TO the usual seasonal reduction Of
road forces.
The coroner expects TO take up
the case tomorrow and the motive
for the killing Of the woman and
child will be carefully looked into.
