Claim of StOWaWay

Boston, Jan. 17.-Jimmie Gust,
who claims IS years residence in
the United States, will plead his case
before an immigration board tomor-
row for admission to the country. He
arrived today from AleXandria,
Egypt, stowaway on the shipping
board steamer Winona.
Gust told the authorities that he
lived in Chicago nine years and pre-
vIously in Fort Worth. Texas, for a
similar period. He had taken out his
first papers. he said. Last summer
he returned to Smyrna. his home
city. for a visit. and while there was
drafted into the Greek army operat-

release from the army later, but in
the fire that destroyed a great part
of Smyrna after its occupation by the
Turks, his papers were burned, he
said.
The Greek and Turkish quotas both
being exhausted, Gust found he could
not be admitted as an immigrant, so
he will base his case on the lost pa
rers indicating his intention to be-
come citizen.

GAME OF, WAITING
NOW THE PROGRAM
LAUSANNE FARLEY

Lausanne, Jan. II. (By A! P.)-The
Orient and the Occident seem to be
playing game of waiting at the
appears to be seeking to wear the
other out. The Turks, as Orientals,
play a good hand at this game, but
Ismet Pasha betrayed some uneasi-
ness today that he might be over
playing his hand.
The head of the Turkish delegation
sent his secretary among the news
paper correspondents to see if any,
body knew anything about an al
legged statement by Lord CurZon pre-
dieting the collapse of the confer
cnce and describing the possibilities
of signing peace as absolutely hope
less. Nobody was aware of such a
statement, but the British spokes-
men have been openly pessimistic,
and this has reached the ears of the
Turks.
AS secretary for foreign affairs,
Lord CurZon feels that he would like
to return to London as soon as pos
sible, especially in view of the num-
crOus problems now surrounding Eur
opean affairs. He thinks two months
enough to devote to Near Eastern
discussions and believes that things
should be brought to q climav-
good, he hopes; bad. if it has to be.
The British plan for presenting the
treaty to the Turks has again been
postponed, however, to permit OF
final negotiations on economic and
financial matters like the Ottoman
debt, in which France is especially
D..
siXthS of the Ottoman bonds.
The Turks again dropped hints to-
night that they stand ready to en-
ploy a corps of foreign legal expert:
to revise the Turkish code. and they
went a step further than heretofore
by intimating that these experts
could perhaps consult with the Turk
ish judges in cases affecting foreign
ers, in their "advisOry capacity"
That temporary halt has come
in the discussion of the main un'
settled issues was evidenced by the
fact that today's conference activi-
ties were confined to the sub-com'
missions drafting further details o.

been served on the coal miners of Nova
Scotia by the international executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America, the labor union now operat-
ing in most of the mine fields of the
United States and Canada. that they
cannot affiliate with the red interna-
tional labor organizations of Moscow
and at the same time remain members

announced here today.
The United Mine Workers by this
step. it was declared, have put them
selves directly on record against rad
icals who are endeavoring, with Rus
sian examples. ito destroy the Ameri-
can labor movement and substitute
therefor the principles of bolshevism."
In case the Canadian local unions con-
cerned attempt to proceed further with
their utilization efforts, the unions
leadership has decided to revoke their
present power of controlling their own
local organizations and set up new
ones in the territory.

Boston. Jan. IA regiment Of SOL
dierS could not enforce prohibition in
Massachusetts with public opinion
unchanged, James L. Roberts, prohi-
bition enforcement agent said today
as he was supplantcd in the office by
Albert J. Lynch.
Mr. Roberts declared the public
state of mind has been the real cause
of failure of enforcement. This pub
lie opinion, he said. has been reflected
in the grand jury and in petit jprics.
"You people haven't been fooled into
thinking there has been no drinking
in hotels, have you?" was Il question
asked Mr.. Roberts. I'VE haven't been
fooled a Bit" was his answer. adding
that there was a bootlegger always
available in hotels for the simple
reason that they go where people
are "thirsty." These bootleggers, he
reiterated, are not necessarily en-
ployed by the establishments, and he
absolved most hotel arrangements
from responsibility for them.

Washington, Jan. 17.-(By A. P.).
Negotiations between the Ameri-
can and British debt commissions
concerning the refunding of Great
Britain's war debt to- the United
States have reached a stage regard
ed as making desirable a personal
report by the British to the cabinet
at home before the continuation of
q tentative agreement on terms.
The conversations which have
been going on here for ten days will
be suspended after tomorrow's joint
session and the British will sail from
New York on Saturday. The time
and manner of the resumption of
the negotiations then will rest with
the London government.
In both British and American cir
cles today it was emphasized that
there would be only a suspension of
the negotiations that a settlement of
the debt. the greatest single inter-
national financial transaction in the
history of the world, must, and
would be reached. Both sides to the
negotiations also were agreed that a
speedy adjustment was desirable,
not only because of the effect that
this would have upon the two coun-
tries. but upon world conditions gen.
orally.
Whether an agreement in princi-
ple-and SO far as the authority of
the American Commission is con-
cerned, it can be no more than that
will come in time for formal &C
ton on it by Congress at the present
session which has only six weeks to
run, cannot now be foretold. The
Americans are extremely hopeful
that it Will, for otherwise the agree
mcnt. could not become effective I'M
der Il year, as President Harding has
often stated his determination not to
call an extra session of the new Con-
Sress. From the first the British
have expressed a desire for an early
settlement and they are fully cog
infant of the situation here which
might make for a long delay.
Just how far apart the commits
slons are at this time neither side
VIII say, but in American quarters
it was declared that the differences
IN views were not great. The inter-
est rate constitutes the chief point
of debate. with the time the debt
is to run and the minimum annual
payments to which Great Britain is
to bind herself lesser elements in the
equation.
Both commissions find themselves
IN much the same position as regards
the requirement of governmental
sanction of any terms reached.
