SAVED FROM SHIP:
FACE LONG WALK
436 Persons Landed From Sinking
Boat Fourteen Miles From

ST. JOHNS, May 22.-The 436 pas
sengers and the crew of the Canadian
Pacific liner Marvale rescued yester-
day when the steamer sank near
Cape Pine after striking rock
started on a long hike today. In the
little fishing village of ST. Shots,
where the ships boats landed them,
shelter was found for the night, but
there was no adequate means of con-
veyance to Trepassey, the nearest
railroad town. So the shipwrecked
company this morning shouldered
what little baggage they had saved
and started afoot over the road, fac
ing a walk of fourteen miles.
1t is expected that the steamer En-
press of Britain will call at Trepassey
and take the passengers aboard. If
this is found impracticable they will
come to St. Johns by rail and catch
the steamer here.
The Marvale, bound from Ontreal
for Liverpool, hit the rock during a
dense fog yesterday afternoon. In a
sinking condition she was headed for
a sandy beach, but when 1t was ap-
parent that she could not reach IT in
time the boats were lowered and in

in seven fathoms of water. Today
she was lying with boat deck awash
a mile off Cape Pine.

RETALIATION PLAN
TARGET OF PEPCO
Power Company Asks 1917
Findings Be Set Aside
and Order NuIIed.

Opposition to a revaluation of it's
property by the District Supreme
Court was voiced today by the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company. in a
motion to set aside the valuation
found by the Public Utilities Com
mission Nay ., 1917, and for the an
nulment Of order No. EOS, based on
that valuation. Notice was served on
Corporation Counsel Stephens and
Special Counsel Conrad H. syme that
the motion " ould be called to the at
tention OF Chief Justice Mccoy Fri
day morning.
Holds Valuation Can't Stand.
The company holds that under the
decision of the District Court of APP
peals there is nothing for the lower
court to do but set aside the COM
missions valuation. To do otherwise
1t is claimed, the District Supreme
Court must make an original valua-
ton of the property, function vest
ed only in the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Through Attorneys John S. Barbour
and s. p. Bowen the company claims
that IL the court has any discretion
at this time as to whether It shall or
shall not attempt now to value plain
tiff's property, 1t should decline to
exercise that discretion. But the
suggestion is made that the decision
of the appellate court leaves no such
discretion in the lower court.

The lawyers contend that if such
valuation is made by the lower court
as of any other date than that origi-
nally used by the commission. to-wit.
July /, 1914, it will be essentially a
new valuation, something not here
tofore either done or attempted to be
done by the commission and some
thing specifically declined by the
commission. This, 1t is claimed. is
beyond the power of the court.
There is not sufficient evidence in
the record. counsel for the Pepco as
serts, to enable the court to make a
valuation, even approximately cor
rect. as of the present time. A vaIua-
ton now made by the court as of the
date originally adopted by the COM

statute, and if made would be wholly
useless and untrustworthy as a rate

READY TO DO BATTLE.
Greek Foreign Minister Firm
Against Turk Demands.

LAUSANNE, May eff Turkey in
sists on war to settle the question
of the indemnity she claims is due
from Greece, then Greece will accept
the gage Of battle. M AleXandris. the
Greek foreign minister told the for
eign correspondents last night.
The Greek delegates, he added. will
be Withdrawn from the near east
conference this week if Turkey per-
sists in her reparation demands.
NJ. Alexandris told the foreign cor
respondents that IF the Turks propose
to resume the war to obtain an indem-
nifty. then Greece accepts the chal-
lenge."
My government" he continued, has
determined to retire from the confer
ence next Wednesday or Thursday,
when the indemnity question comes up
in a plenary session. If Turkey insists
upon an unjust position or any effort is
made TO. force Greece to accept this
position"
He said he thought that "if the
worst comes to the worst. the Greek
army will be able to defend it's hon.
or"
Turkey seems to feel that Greece
was beaten in the war, and therefore
owes an indemnity" he said. But this
is grave error, as Greece was merely
beaten in battle in Asia Minor. and hos
tilities were suspended by an armistice
which Greece is trying to transform
into peace
The foreign minister urged that
Turkey and Greece write off their rep
arations demands one against the
other.

AUDIT KEPT SECRET

MANILA. May 22-Secret expendi-

merous congressman and other gov
eminent officials in Washington, will

Gently dug up by Junius B. Wood
Governor General Leonard Wood
has taken no action yet toward au-
thorizing publication of the auditor
data. covering data regarding expen-
ditures up TO the end of 1922. How
ever, public opinion favoring publica-
ton of all available facts is apparent
ly growing stronger, and Gov. Wood
may later acquiesce to this demand.
Declares Report False.
Gov. Wood has returned to Manila
from Baguio, and American news
papers here are insisting editorially
upon full publication of the auditors
report. At the same time several
Filipino papers are matchmaking
Junius B. Wood They charge that
the story written by Wood is false,
but fail to advocate conclusive proof
of their allegations, which is. of
course, publication of the auditor
report.
Representative Luna of the Philip
pine legislature declared today that
he does not believe that even Gov.
Wood has reliable record of eX-
penditures from the fund Other ad-
herents of Manuel Quezon, president
of the Philippine senate, and one of
the custodians of the fund. feel that
in the future representatives and
senators in Washington will be chary
about advocating island independence.
Apparently the most exaggerated
accounts Of what the news dispatches
actually contained have f1oated back
to Manila from Washington. The
Manila Daily Bulletin says edi-
torially:
The Jones law provides that 1t
shall be the duty of the insular audi
tor to examine, audit and settle all
accounts pertaining to revenues and
receipts from whatever source of the
Philippine government and to audit
all expenditures of funds or property.
Presenting the insular auditor has
complied with the law, a complete
and accurate audit of the expendi-
lures of the independent fund exists.
If 1t does exist why not make 1t pub
lie? If there is nothing to hide, there
can be no objection to publication of
facts regarding the complete audit.
Mere statements that no grounds
exist for the aspersions and charges
that have been made regarding the
disbursing of funds will not suffice"

U. S. DEFERS ACTION.
President Discusses Policy to Be

President Harding. in consultation
with the cabinet today, has DECIDED
that the American government must
be guided by advices from Minister
Schurman. at Picking. and consular
officers in China in its efforts to Sc
cure the release of United States and
foreign citizens held captive by ban
dts in Shantung province.

would relinQuish the Picking govern

situation Serious.
The Chinese situation was under
stood to be the only subject of dis
cussion by the cabinet today. Cabi-
net officials were said to regard eN-
listing conditions in China as very
serious. They described the attitude
of this government as being willing
to do everything becoming great
power and a great citizenship In the
face of a grave danger.
The first consideration of the wash
ington government was said to be to
save the lives OF the captves.
II was pointed out that the United
states government COulu not pTOCeeu
safely except on the adviceS of its
representatives. in China. Minister
Schurman and the American consuls
were described as most able and eff
cient agents who were reporting con-
tinuously on conditions
The whole situation was described
as being fraught with grave possihili-
ties and dire consequences.
The cabinet discussions, it was un-
derstood, included an extended con-
sideration of the question of starting
direct negotiations with the bandits,
due in part to the impotency of the
Picking government to obtain the re-
lease of the prisoners and to exercise
its control over the brigands. Such
a step, however, was held to be an
action Of the last resort.
1t was realized that once direct ne
gotiations were opened with the ban
dit chieftainS that action automat-
ically would relieve the Picking gov
eminent of responsibility. and that
such procedure would constitute a
very dangerous international prac-
