APPENDICITIS OPERATION
ON WOMAN 80 YEARS OLD
Mrs. Albert Hill Goes Under Knife
And Doctors say She Will
Recover

Mrs. Albert Hill, who has passed
her S0th milestone of life, has been
operated upon in a Springfield, Mass,
hospital for appendicitis and Is re-
ported to be recovering. Doctors say
they can see no reason now why Mrs.
Hill cannot be restored to complete
health.
Mrs. Hill formerly lived on Wallace
street, this city, having been resi-
dent of New Britain for about is
years prior TO her removal to the Bay
State, about one year ago. She left
New Britain following the death OF
her husband as q result of injuries
sustained when he lost his footing
while alighting from an Arch street
bus.
Springfield medical authorities de-
clare that Mrs. Hills case is one Of
the most remarkable that has ever
come to their attention. Surgeons
have been hesitant about operating
upon persons many years younger
than the former New Britain resident
since their age is a serious drawback
to recovery. Mrs. Hill, however, is
gaining strength with remarkable
rapidity, they report.

Oil Fields An Issue.

Lausanne, April 23, (By Associated
Press) The question of the Near
Eastern oil fields. especially those
covered by the Chester concession. n
in the foreground today as the allied
and Turkish delegations meet in an
other effort to draft a peace treaty
acceptable to both sides.
France Will Insist.
Whether the general subject of con-
cessions comes before the conference
formally seems to depend on the sue
cess of direct negotiations between
the British and French concession
holders and the Turkish government
which were advised by the allies when
they agreed to detach economic ques-
tions from the treaty. France, it is
believed, will probably insist on the
rights accorded her in 1914 by the
former Turkish government; and the
British delegation has let it be known
that it will support the French claim
in the event the issue is brought be-
fore the conference.
Both Nations Concerned.
Both Great Britain and France re-
with bit of neasiness-F'rance be-
cause she thinks, the 1914 agreement
gives her priority in territory covered
by the concession and Great Britain
because she is uncertain as to
whether the region thus opened to
American exploitation affects the
inundated Irak territory in which lie
the valuable Mosu fields.
U. $. for the Open Door.
Delegates here understand that the
United States, through her represen-
tative Joseph G. Grew, will continue
to support the open door policy that
she advocated at the previous Lau-
same conference. 1t is also believed
that Minister Grew will defend, IL
necessary, the Chester concession in
the event the American government
decides it is not violation of its ad-
herence to policy of equal rights for
all nations.
Troublesome Issues.
As a legacy from the previous con-
versatons the delegates have on their
hands such troublesome questions as
the legal rights OF foreigners in Tur-
NeN ana tnt olloifldi utDl. Inc al
lies hold that foreigners in Turkey
should not be entirely under the juris-
1iction of the Turkish courts while
the Angora spokesman insist that
special judicial privileges cast an un-
favorable reflection on Turkeys SOW
England Didn't Agree.
Great Britain did not accept the
asst minute concessions made to the
Turks last February on this question
foreign legal advisers to be
named by the allies would be in
'ormed of ali arrests OF foreigners and
t seems likely that the question will
oe reopened.

Injunction Issued

Boston, April "a permanent in

commerce commission from carrying
out its recent order providing for the
sale of non-transferablc and inter-
changeable mileage tickets at 16 per
cent reduction was issued today by
Judges Mack, Brewster and Morris
in the federal district court. The in
junction is opposed to the interstate
commerce commission ruling.
While the case was brought before
the court on a petition for tempor-
ary Injunction it was agreed during
the argument that the cause should be
deemed submitted for a final hearing.
The suit was to annul the interstate
commerce commission order of March
6, 923 requiring the railroads to issue
at the price of $72 tickets calling for
$500 miles of carriage in denomina-
ton of $50.

deemed contiscatory. x X.
