CROCOD|LESC CALLED
DANGEROUS To MAIL
WORKERS; MICE, TOO
Postal Employees, Especially
Girls, Dislike Handling
Animals.

Washington, Sept. 29.-(By the As
sociated Press. s.)-A few bleary-eyed
crocodiles a yard or so in length,
whose digestion enables them to chew
up broom handles as a man would a
delicately carved toothpick, may be
harmless" in the legal sense of the
word when shipped by parcel post,
but Postmaster A. L. Behymer of Gin
cinnati has his own ersonal doubts
about the matter. In addressing the
National Association of Postmasters
here Friday, Mr.. Behymer explained
that live animals and various kinds of
barnyarad stock, under the law, were
entitled to mail privileges, if in tran
sit, they wore badges inscribed
harmless.
The Cincinnati postmaster was in
clined to doubt that fair postmis-
tresses or a bevy of young women
clerks in the home postoffice would
look upon a cage of live mice as
harmless" Also, Mr.. Behymer ap-
peared not to look with serenity upon
the prospect some day of being obliged
to attend, water, and feed various
fowls and irrigated livestock, as a
part of the daily postal routine.
The evolution of the egg, he felt,
was not so bad, explaining that first
the parcel post handled Grated eggs,
then the contents of such eggs after

only to be followed by fun grown
chandeliers and domesticated motherly
hens. But when aligators and other
gruesome creatures happen along, in
the usual run of business, and. as
was the case recently at an Ohio
postoffice, escape from the crate and
wallow about the office swapping
broomsticks and otherwise giving vent
TO playful pranks until reduced to the
official harmless" stage, he declared
it was about time to call halt.
The convention failed to take any
action on the revelations of the Gin
cinnati postmaster, therefore feeling
the harmless" phase of parcel post
would in the proper
course of events be corrected and
modified by the postal authorities.

the corporations, firms and individuals
engaged in producing sanitary pottery
in this country was made public Friday
by William Hayward, United States at
torney for the southern district of New
York. The indictment names % COM
panies and "a individuals.
The indictment is regarded as vir-
tually the last of a series of steps

fecting housing and begun by the inves-
tigation carried on by the Lockwood

Fridays indictment was reported by
the July grand jury, which brought the

til Friday, pending an investigation

The firms and individuals named are
engaged principally in the manufacture
of porcelain and earthenware fixtures
for bathrooms in apartment houses.
Several of the indicted firms also man
ufacture bathtubs and similar acces-
sories.
The indictment is in two counts.
The first accuses the defendants of
having been engaged in price fixing
combination The second charges that
the defendants have unlawfullly re-
stricted and confined sales of their
merchandise to selected group of
so-called Legitimate jobbers."
The price fixing count alleges that
since the defendants manufacture and
sell upwards of So per cent of all the
sanitary pottery produced in the United
States, they have been able by concert
ed action, to exact uniform arbitrary
and non-competitive prices.
AS the second count, Mr.. Hayward
said, the defendants had rule where
by members of the group were barred
from selling their merchandise directly
to the builder, the architect or the
contractor. The manufacturer, ac-
cording to Hayward, confined his sales
to the so-called Legitimate jobber,"
who in turn. would confine his sales to
Legitimate plumbers" The jobber and
The plumber in each case, he said, would
dictate his own prices without fear of

Citizens Reveals a

Tillman, described as a financial
promoter, claimed that on May 3,
1910, he entered an agreement with
SHINES which necessitated the trans

SHINES, Tillman's statement con-
tinued, was to furnish collateral Sc
curity that Tillman might undertake
to secure a loan of $135,000,000 in
the United States.
This amount was needed by SHINES
at the time, it was said, for the pur-
chase of the American raw materials.
Instead of furnishing this collateral,
the statement continued. SHINES con-
cocted lot of financial schemes as
sort of panacea, for Germanys fl

One of the schemes, Tillman
averred, was that he was to obtain
a S100,000,00O loan upon SHINES

collateral.
After this loan, the statement went
on, SHINES planned to use the money
for the purchase in the United States

SHINES intended to purchase mort

Hostile Threat by Kennal
May Close Door to Peace;
Nations Prepare for War
Withdrawal of All British Troops From Asiatic
Side of Dardanelles Demanded by Turks; Situ-
alton Becoming More Threatening as Moslems
Show Disposition to Fight; Armada Gathered.

Constantinople, Sept. 29.-(By The
Associated Press).-The situation be-
tween the British and the Turkish
Nationals was extremely tense Friday
night.
A note from Mustapha Kemal Pasha
to Brigadier General Harrington, the
British commander, couched In a
hostile tenor, was considered BY
British military circles here as closing
the door to a pacific settlement of the
straits question. The prospects of an
armed conflict were considered more
evident than previously.
The note of Kemal demands the re-
tirement of all the British troops
from the Asiatic side of the straits, as
the French and Italians have done,
and says in case of acquiescence, he
VIII withdraw the nationalist forces
slightly from the neutral zone.
1t also demands the cessation of
what are termed the arbitrary meas
ures OF the British authorities in Con-
stantinople in dealing with the Turkish
population and a solemn undertaking
that no Greek vessel shall be permit
ted to pass the Dardanelles. 1t con-
struction of Turkish war material in
the straits.
The note Of Kemal was in reply to
the last written communication of Cen
eral harrington, transmitted through
Hamid Bey, the nationalist represen-
fatlve IN Constantinople, to Kemal in
Smyrna.
1t is felt in British circles Friday
night that they would be forced to
modify their conciilatory attitude at
the moment the Turks bring up heavy
artillery, with which they would be
able to threaten seriously the Euro
pean side of the Dardanelles and also
hamper passage of British vessels
through the straits.
Six Submarines Arrive
Six submarines of the British At
lantic fleet have arrived and will be
used to prevent the transport of
Turkish troops across the sea of
Marmora in the event of war between
the British and the Turks. The
British also have posted batteries in
strategic positions on the heights of
Chanliga, eastward of Scutari and at
Mal-Tepeh on the Haidar Pas railway.
facing Prinkipo island. These positions
are on the Asiatic side of the Bos
phorus, short distance from Con

During the forenoon meeting of

held, at which there was practically
a full membership, nearly every county
in the state being represented. The
meeting was presided over by James
Griffin of Chinook and a number of
suggestions were made regarding the
success of the fair, which will be
passed on to committees to be worked
out. The board approved the plan
used this year for the consolidation of
the agricultural exhibits in place of
the old plan of county collective dis
PLAYS.
The western counties suggested that
the fair be held at later date, during
hte early part of October. due to the
fact that their crops mature later than
those in the eastern and central por-
tons of the state. No action was
taken upon this subject
The fair will close Saturday after
noon.

BRITAIN is FORMIDABLE

Constantinople, Sept "a for
midable fighting force in floating fort
resses and powerful bombing and COM
bat aircraft, together possessed OF
greater destructive power than their
grand fleet at Scapa Flow, now guards
the great international waterway Of
the near east from the Narrows to
the Black sea.
Britain's gigantic armada in these
waters is led by the two 34,0OO-tonl
super dreadnaughts, Revenge and
Resolution. Then come three veritablei
giantesses of naval prowess, the bat
IL hips Centurion, King George and
Iron Duke. Some of the super-war.
craft possess ponderous 16-inch guns,
having a range of 20 miles. The re-
mainder of the British fighting force
here consists of a number of the most!
modern cruisers, destroyers, and the
aircraft carriers Pegasus and Argus.
The British are confident that this
formidable line of fighting ships will
easily prove a stone-wall barrier to the
Kemalists, should the latter attempt
to cross the straits. 1t also is thought
that they will be a sufficient protec-
ton for the troops entrenched at
Chanak and other points.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-30

there was conference on the general
situation. Later while on the way to
Eski-Shehr, Kemal received a message
calling him to Angora to discuss with
the government the nationalist reply
to the allied demands. Therefore,
General Harrington has postponed his
departure for Mudania to meet Kemal.
Meanwhile, the Turkish leader has
given assurance that his troops will
not advance farther than the neutral
zone.
The belief prevails in British mill
tary circles that Greece may be asked
to evacuate Thrace by October 10.
This would permit the Kemalists to
enter Thrace by ports on the Sea of
Marmora, avoid a violation of the
straits and satisfy the kemalist de-
mand for the possession of Thrace be-
fore the proposed peace conference
begins.
1t is held that the Greek revolution
has radically altered the Thracean sit
uation and that there is no certainty
that the new Athens government will
be able to maintain an efficient army
there, even pending the settlement Of
peace. 1t is suggested that if Greece
refuses to evacuate Thrace, an allied
fleet may blockade the Greek main
land.
