verdict of the French and Belgians, but
M. Barthou and his colleagues awaited
word from Paris before withdrawing
from the conference.
On the other hand the British,
though far from satisfied with the an
swer of the soviet delegates, professed
to see in it chance for further nego-
tiations which might well lead to an
amicable settlement. They called the
Russian note distinctly conciliatory,
Concerning the crucial clauses Of the
allied note dealing with the restora-
ton Of foreign property confiscated by
the soviets, the Russians made the gen.
eral proposition that all financial mat
tiers between Russia and the powers be
placed in the hands Of mixed COM
mission of experts, but they rejected
the proposed mixed commission to de-
termine the payment for nationalized
property because 1t would make the
sovereignty of the Russian state a
plaything of chance" Since the other
powers refuse the immense loan the
Russians demanded, the latter with
drew their Remuneration Of counter
claims based on allied help given the
various anti-bolshevik leaders.
Lloyd George was hopeful that, if
the financial questions were turned
over to mixed commission, the con-
ference might be carried along until
his nonaggression pact is made a
reality. The Italians are supporting
him, while Japan shows signs Of stand
ing with France and Belgium in de-
manding immediate and definite reply

NO ELECTIONS FOR
SCHOOL TRUSTEES

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 1.-The 1922

the Court Of Appeals held today, in
'overruling the motion to dissolve the
temporary injunction granted Nick
Reid in the Bath Circuit Court, en-

Constantinople, Nov. 5.-The Ma
tionalist Government is in control Of
Constantinople, Rafet Pasha is the
new Governor and Hamid Bey, the
representative of the Angora Gov
ernment, has ordered the Allied
troops out. In note to the Entente
he demands their evacuation.
The Turks have torn up the
Mudania Armistice Convention and
are advancing into the Chanak area,
occupied by the British, and other
neutral zones.
Since noon Saturday the National
ist Administration is declared to
have been established and in cele-
bration excited Turks have been en-
gagged in disorders. Students march
ed against the palace and riotous
mobs engaged in such manifestations
that it became necessary for the AL
lied police to fire on them, several
Turks being killed or wounded. The
Christians in the Stamboul quarter
were seeking shelter and protection
from what they plainly feared-a
Turkish massacre.
Kemal Is President
Today, however, the Government
issued orders that all disturbances
should be vigorously put down. The
Allied High Commissioners accepted
the new regime and there was moth
ing left for the Sultan's Ministry but
resignation.
Tewfik Pasha, the Grand Visier,
dispatched messages to the represen-
tatives of the Sublime Porte in the
various capitals to transfer their
archives to the representatives OF the
Angora Government. There seemed
danger for time that radical forces
would gain the upper hand.
The Sultan was denounced, togeth-
er with monarchy, and Mustapha
Kemal Pasha was acclaimed as "our
President" II became necessary to
throw guards of troops around the
Sultan's palace, within which Mo-
manned l, now Caliph only, is
spending fearful hours.
sultan Non-Conformist
AS yet Mohammed vi has given
.I..ao 80 confronting m tha
determination of the new Govern
ment to rid Turkey of the high Office
of Sultan but the quickly developing
popular movement may soon compel
him, with the loss of his chiefs, to
accept the inevitable.
Rafet Rasha sprang the news OF
the change in dramatic manner on
the Allied Generals. The Generals
had summoned Rafet TO discuss the
admission of Kemalist gendarmes to
the Gallipoli and Chanak zones. AT
the termination of the discussion
Rafet, as by way OF an afterthought,
broke the startling news thus:
~ must inform Your Excellency
that since noon the Constantinople
Government no longer exists, and
have assumed the Governorship.
The Sultan's Ministry resigned
Saturday and Rafet Pasha has issued
a manifesto which declares that
from now ON the Administration OF
the Great NATIONAL Assembly of Tur-
key is established in Constantinople.

SIXTEEN PRODUCING OIL
WELLS IN DAVIESS,- HAN
COCK-OHIO COUNTY FIELD

nus lar IHeIe are SlAlttH pIOuuC-
ing wells in the Daviess-Hancock
Ohio county oil fleld-the field above
and around Pellville. Each of these
wells is good for from three to
twelve barrels per day.
Thus far there have been sixteen
dry holes drilled in this same area.
There are now ten holes that are
being drilled.
The Indian Pipe Line corporation
has completed line into the field
with storage facilities at Haynes,
the pipe line terminal on the l. c.
The first shipments of oil taken by
the pipe line and handled by the |.
c. came in to Owensboro during the
past week.
The wells that have been drilled.
or that are now being drilled are
known as Talley and Ray. on which
two were drilled; Victoria. two on
the Chambers, two on the Jackson,
Sanders, Stephens, Ira Jet, Greer,
two on the upper Jett, two on the
Barlow; Rowland, Boyles, Morrison,
South Boyles, two on the Hoover,
two on the Garrett, Jones; five on
the Stewart, Barker, Holland, Mil
Ter, Higdon. Hamilton, Dunn, Simp-
son, Fuqua, King, Wainsmith, Whar-
ton, Arlington, Stewart, McGregor.
To Drill On Haynes Place
a stake was set Friday for a well
to be drilled on the o. ID. Haynes
place.
The sixteen producing wells are
as follows: Jackson, Ira Jet, Bar
low 2, Rowland, Boyles, Morrison,
South Boyles. Hoover, Jones. Hig-
don, Upper Stewart and four on the
Amanda Stewart.
According to oil men now in the
feld-and they now number more
than 15O-the showing thus far
made convinces them that other
wells will be brought in that VIII
show larger production, though all
of them are agreed that there will
be no big" producers in the field.
The geological structure of the sec
ton leads all of them to believe that
somewhere ~ in that country they
will find a richer oil bearing sand
that will produce consistently
through many years.
W;n Continue Drilling
The oil men say that they will
continue drilling-one OF them made
the prediction yesterday, that if no
other oil interests came into the
territory. those now here would have
to drill continually for the next five
years to actually develop the terri
tory that they now consider as a part
of the field.
There are now ten rigs drilling in
the field and it is stated that others
are being brought in toward Peil-
vile. 1t is also pointed out that rep
resentatiYes OF the larger oil COM
paaies are having their field men
keep close watch on the Pellvil!e
district, few of the representatives
of the large companies having men
permanently located in Owensboro,
many of whom have quietly acquired
acreage for their companies.
The deep test that the Wood Oil
company, one of the largest inde-
pendent companies, is making in Me-
Lean county is being watched with
much interest.
Estimates made this week indi-
cate that with all of the sixteen wells
