That a State employee who had been
discharged for falsifying expense ac-
count receipts was placed back on the
State pay roll during the McCray ad-
ministration and recently given a sal
airy increase Of $500 a year
That his Terre Haute speech was
in no way an attack on the Governor
or on his administration.
Regrets McCray Attitude
Il regret exceedingly the position
taken by Governor McCray in the mat
ter OF my talk to the Mems League,
but l, too, have an oath Of Office on
file to support the constitution OF In
diana and execute the laws as I find
them and not as my friends or I
might wish to find them" Eschbach
said. 81 couldn't violate that oath TO
bring success to my friends or to my
future.
Under no circumstances nor con.
ditiOns could 1 or would I have ac-
cepted reappointment as State ex-
aminer, but the mere retention Of an
appointive position ought never in
fiuence an official In deciding between
right and wrong"
In speaking of his speech he said:
My main thought was the general
inelficiency and extravaganza which
has developed into a system through
years Of growth and nourishment and
which threatens to bankrupt the Ma
ton, the State and various municipal
tiles of this country unless a halt Is
soon called. Tie wealthy taxpayer
may continue for years to contribute
his portion to the rapidly increasing
burdens but the great class of our
citizens with moderate means and the
taxpayer with only his little home
must have relief soon or give up the
fight"

TURK RATIFICATION
OF CHESTER GRANT
PRECIP|TATESC CRISIS
Serious international Situa-
ton Created by Action of
AngOra Government.

BIZ nttCd PTeSS
WASHINGTON. April II. A
serious international situation has
been created by the action of the
Turkish nationalist parliament at
Angora in ratifying the so-called
Chester concession for a vast develop
ment and exploitation of Turkish and
former Turkish territory, observers in
Washington were convinced today.
Great Britain Is certain 10 contest
the Chester concession, as the plan
strikes squarely at vast British in
terests in the Near East the London
government is consistently fighting to
maintain.
Not alone does the ratification Of
the Chester concession mean that IL
will be fought by Great Britain, but
this action at Angora causes n serious
clash OF interests between two Ameri-
can groups
United States in Delicate Position
Finally. the United States Govern
ment is thrown into a delicate
position. because the rival plans Of
two great American groups studying
the development scheme. one Of
which is backed by Great Britain. may
make it difficult for this Government
to give active support to the Chester
concession.
Briefly. this is the Chester con
cession:
IA vast system Of railroads-huu-
dreds Of miles Of them-is to be con
structed throughout eastern Anatolia.
2-The rights to the oil and other
mineral development are granted In
the territory stretching for twenty
kilometers on each side Of these rail
roads. There are similar water power
grants.
3-Two ports are to be constructed.
one on the Black Sea at Samsun and
the other on the Mediterranean at
Youmourtalk.
Modern City Planned
Even the construction OF a great,
modern city at Angore, as the new
capital Of Turkey, is planned.
oil is at the bottom OF this question,
as it is found behind SO many grave
international questions today
Great Britain holds the mandate
over Mesopotamia, or technically. the
State Of UraQ.
Therefore the Turkish Nationalist
government has granted a concession
IN n territory over which It exercises
no control.
The conflict between two great
American groups comes in that there
exists a tacit understanding between
the great oil companies Of Great
Britain and America that the Amert-
can companies shall have an i'm
pOrtant share In the development Of
Moseul oil with Great Britain and
France.

RICHMOND

Richmond. Maine, May II, 1923.
Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine
Gentlemen:
The Richmond Farmers & Mechan-
ics' Club have recently purchased the
stuart Field or playground" and
they have assigned the management
OF the same to the Richmond Play
ground Association SO the "KiddieS'
both old and young are assured q
playground for all time.
The Richmond Farmers & Mechan-
les Club as well as the Richmond
Playground Association have voted
unanimously to change the name to,
LANE Field" to comment rate the
service of the late
Willis LinWood Lane
III the World War, who was a gradu-
ate Of Richmond high school, class
1918. He entered Bates college in 1914,
where he took an active part in Ath-
letics, excelling in long distance rum
ming and cross country work. He held
the Bates record for the mile run FOR
three years, and it seems very fitting
we should want our playground to
bear his name.
April &c, 1917, he enlisted in the U.
Naval Reserve and was called for
active service in the World War in
July, being rated as gunner's mate: he
was last stationed at Caldwell, n: d.
and died Of pneumonia at Montclalr'
n. j., September 26, 1918.
A bronze tablet suitably inscribed
to his memory will be placed on
large boulder near the entrance TO
"Lane Field"
There is much to be done to finish
the work contemplated as 1t IS the IN :
tention of the management to grade
and fill in the outfield OF the baii
ground, and build a tennis court.
Principal Garrett has suggested a
quarter mile cinder track. rms
should be built. Playground equip
ment for the "kiddies" should be pur-
chased and the grounds should De
fenced.

nreciation of the splendid service or
