the allied warships can move to
and fro.
The Angora representatives in Con-
stantinople have daily eetings with
the allied high commissioners and
give the impression that the nation
alist government is in a conciliatory
mood and is seeking q modus vivendi
so as to drop the matter without
suffering humiliation. Reports from
Angora: however. indicate that this
ment and that both the nationalist
assembly and the cabinet are on
the warpath. They seem to have
adopted we don't care what hap
pens zttitude,'
All Turks Hostile.
Col. Mougin, the French representa-
tive At tho nationalist capital, re-
ports that all the Turks arc hostile
to the allies, especially the French,
and that. in his opinion, It will be
very difficult to avoid war The
that the Turks distrust the allies at
least as much as the allies distrust
the Turk.
This lack Of confidence is illustra-
ted by the fact that Ismet Pasha, in
granted to him as we'll as to all
other members Of the Turkish deleRa-
tion to Lausanne, feared that the
British would try to prevent him
from continuing his journey from
Conatan tinople and therefore pie
ferred to return to Angora by way
Ismet Pasha's fears are unfounded
and the British hope that he will be
able to spend few hours in Con-
stantfnople and haye q conversation
with Gen. Harrington before continu-
ing his trip to AngorA to report per-
sonally to the nationalist assembly
upon the results of the conference.
Though there is no immediate cause
for resumption Of hostilities. the
situation remains grave on account OF
the political rivalries OF the Turkish
leaders. The peace party, headed by
Mustapha Kemal Pasha, Is losing In
fuence daily and KemaPs power is
waning. Tho extremists, supported by
the Russians, are gaining strength
daily and have succeeded in gaining
to their side Marshal Fevzi Pasha,
chief of stan OF tho nationalist army.
He comes from very influential
Kurdish family. He Is bitter against
the British and a strong advocate of
immediate war. It was he who urged
Reouf Bey to sign the order closing
the ports of Smyrna and Ismid to al
lied warships, hoping that this would
hasten the much desired conflict.
Accompanied by NJ. Anatolia, the So
Wet ambassador to Anatolia, Fev7i
Pasha reached Smyrna two days ago:
from taking some rash action Kemal
Pasha has abandoned his tour OF in
spsction, and left Panderma for Smyr-
IA in the hope that his presence there
will soothe the warlike mood OF his
powerful subordinate.

RULE MOVE NOW UNWISE
Many Householders Already Have
Used Their Share of
Anthracite.

Some of the restrictions on the de-
livery of hard coal to households in
washington may be removed on or
about March 1. a survey of the local
situation today indicated.
Coal dealers OF the city met in the
Kendall building last night under
auspices OF the Coal Dealers Asso-
citation and debated the question of
whether the rule limiting consumers
TO 90 per cent Of the amount Of an
thraclte they used last winter should
De made more liberal at this time.
Step Not Wise Now.
The concensus was that such a step
Immediately would not be wise. but
that within two weeks it might be
possible. The decision OF those pres
ent was TO let the matter rest until
about March l.
according to latest available fig
ures. Washington is still about 1000
tons short of so per cent of it's nor

Believe Rule Wise.
Persons who have been in close
touch with the work of the utilities
commission this winter believe that
the so per cent restriction on an
thracite deliveries to homes has prov
ed a wise rule.
The commissions aim in fixing that
limit was to prevent some house.
holds from getting more than their
take substitutes. Early in the season
the authorities were informed that
the city as a whole would receive
during the winter only so per cent
or last winters total anthracite ship
ments. Realizing that II there were
no restrictions some families would
get full winter supply, while others
were getting worry little anthracite.
the commission decided to allot each
household GO per cent of its normal

large proportion of householders
probably have had their so per cent
allotment of hard coal by this time
and will have to take coke or soft
coal for the balance of the season II
the restriction is not lifted
A belief prevails among some deal
ers, however, that by March l it will
be possible to determine whether the
limit can be raised. BY that time
there probably will be some coal mer-
chants who are still able TO give their
customers more hard coal, but II
those consumers already have re-
ceived so per cent another delivery

The President was told. however. at
today's conference, that the fate of
the bill was uncertain, the republi-

was q possibility, he was informed,
that the bill might be amended in q
drastic way before tho vote could be
reached.

there was every prospect that the
bill would be passed.

REVENUES FROM FISHERIES, 1923
 WILL BE LARGE
Cannerymen Estimate Fisher les Industry Will Pay
 $700, ,000 This Year.

With the final 5-cent graduation eliminated on packs of all varieties of salmon, both Houses of the Lagis- lature adopted the conference com. mfttee's schedule on pack taxes short fly before midnight. Under this schedule well informed cannerymen estimate the Territory will collect s490,0O0 this year and that addi- tional revenues from the fisheries will increase the total from fisheries to approximately $7O0 900.
 The salmon pack rates under which it is estimated the greater portion of this sum will be derived, is vir- tually identical with that adopted by 1.-the Senate Wednesday night. On reds, kings and sockeyes the follow ing rates apply a base tax on all packs up to 10000 cases, 10 cents per ease; additional tax on all cases from 10000 and not more than 25,000. cents; in excess of 25,000 and not more than 10000, cents per case; S50.0OO to 5o,0O0 cases, cents per case, and all above 50.000 cases, , Icent5 per case
 On modium reds, echoes and sock eyes. on packs not exceeding 25,000 cases, Az cents per case; 25,000 to 40 900 cases, ? cents per case addi- lltional; 10000 to 50000, 1 cents per ease additional, and all above 50000 cases, 6 cents per case additional. The trap license under which it is estimated by cannergmen that $11O.- 900 will be raised annually, pr3yld 3s | for a base license fee of S200 on traps catching not more than 100000 fish, and s2 per thousand for each
 1000 fl1h eaken abovc the 100000 l base.
 Tho fishermen'3 license measure as passed by the Senate and accept ed by the House, it is estimated, will bring in approximately $S0,o00 an nually to the Territory carries four distinct. fees. For resident fisher men of all classcs, S1; for non-resi- aonts, using hook and line the en- tire year, including trollers, S3; non- residents yflaing giI nets and set lines, $10. and non-rcsidents using seines CT set nets, $25.
 In addition, it is estimated that tho one per cont tax on net incomes will bring into the Treasury this year
