BORAH PRESENTS
PLAN FOR WORLD
ECONOMIC MEET
Offers Proposal in Senate for
Joint Financial and Arms
Conference.
" ANT S SPEEDY ACTION
Legislators Not Expected to
Act on Suggestion Until
After Holidays.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21-(By A.
P.)-Extehsive discussion OF inter
national affairs Is expected TO de-
velop in the senate as a result OF
a proposal today by Sen. Borah. Re
publican, Idaho, for an interna-
tional conference TO consider eco
nomic. financial and business prob
lens. including German repara-
uons, as well as reduction OF land,
sea and aerial armaments.
Sen. Borah offered his plan as an
amendment 10 the $3.50, 100000 ma
val appropriation bill which was
preliminary consideration tomor-
row. He proposed that the presl-
dent be asked TO call an interna-
tional economic ard disarmament
conference instead OF a conference
merely to deal with Limitation of
naval vessels under 10000 tons
and military and naval aircraft as
provided in the bill as passed by
the house.
Desires Immediate Action
In offering his amendment as a
substitute for the house provision.
Sen. BoEah declared world econom-
ic conditions required immediate
action and he proposed that Pres
Harding be authorized and re-
quested" TO invite such governments
10 send representatives 10 the con-
ference as he should deem neces-
sary and expedient" with the object
OF arriving at understanding or
arrangements" looking TO the res
toration "of trade and esta tablishment

conditions"
With reference to armaments, the
Bcrah amendment includes the
house bills provisions as to naSal
vessels under 10000 tons and air
craft with its provision for consid-
Grafton OF land and sea armaments.
Senate leaders do not expect the
Borah proposal nor the house pro-
vision to be reached during tomor.
rows consideration OF the bill.
These, and an amendment by Sen.
King, Democrat, Utah, calling for
land and sea disarmament con-
ference which is pending. are ex-
pected to go over until after the
Christmas holiday
Action Causes Surprise
Sen. Borah's amendment caused
general surprise especially in view
of his strong position in the past
with reference to American partici-
patton in European problems. He
was one Of the strongest opponents
of the League of Nations and Urea
~ of Versailles. but in his state
ment today he made It clear that
he believed action was needed 10

PROSECUTION IN
HERRIN HEARING
RESTS ITS CASE
States Witnesses Have Traced
Events of June Killings
In Detail.
DEFENSE OPENS TODAY
Defendants Attorneys Expect
to ExOnerate Union Min
ers of Guilt.

MARION, Ill, Dec. 2l.-(By \.
P)-After eight days spent IN the
introduction of evidence, the pro-.
secution rested today in the trial OF
five men charged with murder in
connection with the Staying Of 20
non-union miners during the Herrin
riots last June. The defense Will
open tomorrow morning.
In the testimony OF the last few
witnesses, the state completed its
relation of the events from the time
three mine guards were shot while
driving In truck from Carbondale
to the Tester mine on the morning
Of June p. to the attack on the
mine that afternoon when three
union miners were killed, the sur
render under white flag the next
morning of As non-union men in
the pit. and the Staying Of 20 Of the
prisoners.
Cross Examination Brief.
All five defendants have been
pointed out in court as having been
seen with guns during the riots and
several OF them have been named as
having shot down some Of the vic
Tins. During the course of the pre-
sentation of the states case four OF
the survivors of the tragedy have
taken the stand and described the
scenes of horror which they said ac-
companied the killings.
The cross examination by the de-
fense has been brief and apparently
designed 10 bear out its contention
that the non-uniOn men in the mine
and their employees had melted the
riots for the purpose Of having state
troops called out to protect the pits;
that the guards in the mines were
armed. and that they disregarded
warnings that the operation OF the
mines would result in outbreaks.
AssaiI Ewing's Testimony.
In their cross examination, attor-
neys for the defense repeatedly re-
ferred to the non-union workers in
the mine and the guards as "scabs'',
"gunmen", private detectives and
spies"
A. W. Kerr, chief counsel for the
defense, said he expected TO prove
that the guards or gunner" were
the aggressors in the riots and
brought on any attack that was made
upon them by their acts OF provoca-
ton and challenge He made spec
ial reference TO the Testimony or
Donald Ewing. Chicago newspaper
man and it is said that the defense
would prove the incident he related
OF refusal 10 give water TO two men
shot at the cemetery never took
place. that Bert Grace. a defendant,
had no connection with it and that
while Mr. Ewing testified that he
reached the cemetery at 1880
O'Clock. evidence would be produced
to show that the bodies Of the men
had been removed an hour pre-
vious 10 that time.
Would DisprOve Testimony.
Mr.. Kerr also stated that the tes-
timony of DR. Shipman, who tes-
titled as an eye witness of the death
march from Herrin to the cemetery
would be impeached and evidence
troduced TO show that DR.. Shipman
was not there at all. He added that
other witnesses would be introduced
in an effort 10 disprove testimony
given by other Of the states wit
nesses.
He further said that the defense
would put on the stand hundreds
of witnesses who would testify that
the defendants now on trial had no
possible connection with the kill
ings charged.

GREEK AND TURKISH
DELEGATES CLASH
AT PEACE PARLEY
Dispute Becomes So Violent as
to Bring About Adjourn
ment of Session.

LAUSANNE. Dec. 21.-C CBy A. P.)
"A tsirring alteration occurred at
a meeting Of the sub-commission on
minorities today between former
Greek Premier Venizelos and the
Turkish delegates. Ria Nur Bey.
The dispute between the two arose
over the question OF responsibility
for Greek depOrtatiOns in Asia Minor
and was so violent that it became
necessary 10 adjourn the session.
According 10 spokesmen. the Turk
ish delegate declared that the Greek
army was not so much responsible
for the recent military disaster as
was Nenizelos himself. because ii
was Nenizelos who chad inaugurated
the idea Of "a military invasion Of
Anatolia." Ria affirmed that in his
opinion the Greek ministers who
were recently executed at Athens
were in all probability entirely in
nocent Of deceiving the Greek peo-
pie because the real father OF the
Asia Minor campaign was Venizelos.
IndiCts Turkish Army.
The Italian chairman of the sub
commission, Signor Mantagna. had
previously warned both the Turkish
and Greek delegates that reference
to massacres and cruelties must
henceforth be avoided. but. the
Turks alleged Venizelos today refus-
ed to obey this injunction. He del
ivered a bitter Indictment against
the Turkish army and went so far
that the chairman was obliged re-
peatedly to call him to order.
After insistent attempts, Ria Nur
bey eventually got the floor and de-
Tended Turkey, and then made
personal attack on the former Greek
premier.
Another indication that feeling is
running high between the Turks
and Greeks was found in a COM
munique which the Turkish delega-
tion issued later, declaring that re-
cent advices from AngOra prove that
the Greeks are confscating all the
farms belonging to Moslems in Crete
and that the Moslems in the hills
fearing massacre have fled TO the
cities and are dying Of hunger.
Another Complication Arises.
Every day more than 20 Moslems
are dying either through massacre
or hunger" said the communique,
and Moslems are generally forbid
den TO leave Crete" The Turks
also allege mistreatment of the Mos
lens in Mitelyne
Another complication in Near
Eastern conditions was disclosed in
a telegram dated Dec. 19, which
reached here tonight from Beltut.
Foreign relief workers report that
between Dec. 9 and 16, five thousand
Armenian refugees fleeing from
Turkey had arrived at Aleppo and
1000 more were reported crossing
the border into syria the day the
dispf tch was forwarded.
Lord Curzon, W. Berrere and the
Marquis di GarrOni held an import
ant conference tonight in an en-
deavor TO straighten ont the remain
ing differences over the Straits con-
troll The Turks are insisting strong
" that the international commission
shall have jurisdiction over such
matters as lighthouses and plotting
in the straits and especially shall
have nothing 10 do with the demilit-
arizatiOn OF the zones.

~ HE value Of Tanlac as fam
/ lily medicine is again very
forcibly demonstrated in the home
of Mrs. Josephine Deckret, 1912
Bank St., Baltimore, After put
ting this splendid tonic to the test
with herself and three children,
Mrs. Deckret says:
"Tanlac has been such a great
blessing to myself and three chill
dren that it has won my lifelong
praise. My health had been so
wretched for two or three months
that | was just dragging around.
l could neither eat nor sleep to do
much good and had a world OF
trouble with Indigestion. | have
Just finished my third bottle of
Tanlac and am almost a well
woman already.
John Frank, aged six, and
Carolina, who is four, both com
planned Of headaches, pains in the
stomach and were very restless at
night. They had no appetltes,
were thin and pale, and took no
interest in play or anything else.
"And Joseph Paul, two years
old, was in just about the same
fix. could not get him to eat, he
was fretful day and night, and
was very thin and pale. They
have taken about two bottles Of
Tanlac each now, and helthier,
happier children could not be
found. John Frank has gained six
pounds, Carolina eight and little
Joseph is as fat as a butterball
and playful as a kitten. | certain
ly have good reasons for praising
Tanlac.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1922-10-25

The experience of the Deckret
family is only typical OF thous-
ands of others whose statements
are on file in the Tanlac offices.
Hardly day passes that does not
bring scores Of such messages of
praise from every part of the
United States and Canada from
families where mother, father, son
and daughter have all found
health. contentment and the joys
of living through simply taking
a course of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists. (Adv.)
