TURKS HALT JOY
NEAR EAST MEET

Lausanne. July 11.-(By A. P)-The
Turks have dampened the rejoicing of
the Near East conference by raising
new difficulties. They want all the
British warships withdrawn from the
Straits simultaneously with the troops.
but the British today insisted on their
right to keep two cruisers pending rat
ifcation of the Straits convention. The
British say they are willing to move
all warships when Angora ratifies the
treaty, but desire the right to come
back with "up to two cruisers"
Although exhausted by long months
or negotiations, Ismet Pasha strenu-
ously contested the British contention
during session which lasted well into
the night, declaring that this was
against the spirit if not against the
letter of the treaty. The session broke
up without agreement. All the dele
gates said afterwards that it was most
unsatisfactory. Another attempt to
come to terms will be made tomorrow.
The special protocol relating to evac-
uation was drafted and agreed to in
principal at 2 o'clock Monday morning,
but afterwards the Turkish experts
discovered that they had forgotten to
say anything about the naval forces.
hence the new controversy. This over
sight has made the Turks wary, and
the experts will gather again tomor-
row go go over the question on which
an accord is supposed to have been
reached.
Although no confirmation is obtain
able. the impression prevails that the
American representatives are not alto
gether satisfied with the paraphrasing
Of the protocol on concessions, more
particularly the clause granting pri-
GRITTY rights to any foreign company
in any future contracts. The Ameri-
can delegates said tonight that the ne
gotiations for the revisions of the
Turco- American treaties We're proceed
ing normally and they hoped to be able
to obtain definite results within a few
days. Already more than 80 meetings
have been held with the Turks.

GOVERNOR COX
CONFERS WITH Phone
co. HEAD ON STRIKE

Boston, July 11-Governor Cox to-
day called President B. Jones Of the
New England Telephone & -. Tele-
graph Company into conference at
the state house and discussed the
present strike of telephone operators
which was calied'on June 26th to en-
force demands for hour day and
higher wages. The governor tonight
stated that he did not contemplate
any immediate action as the result of
his conference but said he was mere
ly keeping in touch with the strike
situation.
To the public it appeared today
that there was little change in the
situation. Company officials claimed
that their forces of operators were
constantly increasing while strike
leaders maintained that they were
holding their own.
In Lawrence, Springfield, Worces-
ter and in Rhode Island cities, the
centers hardest hit by the strike,
conditions were reported as slightly
better but with service still a little
below normal. In greater Boston
where a large number of unionized
operators have remained at work as
the result of split in the ranks, the
public continued to feel little incon-
Venience.

clined today to comment upon

Metropolitan's Gothic statuary and
other relics was made recently. Mr..
Robinson said he would pay no at
tention to the charges that the mu-
scum had been victimiZed until a
specific instance had been cited. Mr..
Robinson now has indicated he
would reply to the latest assertion
of CASTOR G'sell. eminent art critic
and friend of the sculptor Rodin,
that the 10th century statue of st.
Paul. for which the museum paid
$1,000, was undoubtedly fake.
At that time Mr.. Robinson said
that a special committee of judges
had passed upon everything the mu-
scum had bought, but if the charge
of NJ. Vigoroux. former New York
representative of Joseph De Motto.
art dealer, was true. the museum
had been victimized for more than
5000 900 worth of faxed antiques.

KISSING MINISTER
RESIGNS TO FREE
HANDS DIRECTORS

Boston, July 11-Rev. George L.
Paine who engaged in a scuffie with
Lieut.. Wesley McLaren Hague, U. S.
N, on Monday when the latter ad-
ministered what he termed a thrash
ing because the clergyman had kissed
his wife. rendered his resignation as
executive of the Greater Boston Fed
Grafton of Churches at a special
meeting today Of the Board of Dr.
rectors OF the Federation. The l6 d.
rectors present voted to defer action
until subsequent meeting when all
the boards % members shall be pres
emf.
MY chief desire is to help the fed
Grafton" said statement read by Mr..
Paine to the directors. Il feel that it
Is necessary to determine my fitness
to continue in office and l hereby
tender my resignation. This Is solely
to free the hands of the directors"
The directors issued the following
statement after the meeting
1.-The sense of the board present
was that any action taken should be
taken by the whole board. Those
present greatly deplore the conduct
frankly and publicly acknowledged
by Mr.. Paine. In view Of his splen-
did record of life service and his I'M
impeached probity they bespeak for
HIM the Christian and friendly con-
sideration of the public.
Lieut.. Hague announced that he
had decided to take no legal action
against Mr.. Paine; he said he con-
sidered the incident closed. His pun
ishment of Mr.. Paine in the latter's
Beacon street office, Lieut.. Hague
said, was sufficient satisfaction.
In a statement tonight he said in
part:
my attitude in Mr.. Paine's office
was the direct result of his repeated
attempts to kiss my wife in spite of
her protests and active opposition,
which constitute an insult no man in
honor could overlook. l have abso-
lutely no excuse to offer for my ac-
tons in his office and the suggestion
that I apologize to him is absolutely
absurd. I have no intention OF
apologizing as suggested in the post
script of his apology to my wife and
Mrs. Hague of course has no inten-
ton of doing so. l consider that did
what any man would do who found
himself in a similar predicament. My
only thought at any time has been to
uphold my wife's honor and this
episode has simply endeared her
more to me-"
The encounter between Rev. Mr..
Paine and Lieut.. Hague occurred in
the formers offices after Lieut..
Hague had charged that the Rev. Mr.
Paine had been paying undue atten-
ton to Mrs. Hague during his alb
sence. While the lieutenant was
away. Rev. Mr.. Paine took Mrs.
Hague for an automobile ride and
while they were strolling through a
meadow, later he kissed her. The
clergyman maintained that his action
was merely n paternal and friendly
act and that his actions could be con-
strued as offensive.

Paris. July 11.-(By A. P.)-The
French parliament completed ratffica-
ton Of the Washington naval limita-
tion treaty and the four-power Pacific
accord by overwhelming votes in the
senate this evening. The naval limita-
ton treaty was ratified with but three
dissenting votes, while the Pacific ac-
cord was approved Immediately after
unanimously and without debate.
The vote was passed largely. by
proxy, as the sitting heat kept most
Of the senators away. The French OBJ
jections to any restriction were voiced,
but the trend Of the discussion was
that France was financially unable to
build even up to the limit Of the capI-
tai ship program during the life Of the
Washington agreement, and the oppo.
sition was mainly sentimental. Speak
ers insisted, however that 1t must be
definitely understood that the treaty
did not restrict the building Of lighter
craft and submarines on which the
French expect to spend most Of their
naval appropriations.

While it will set forth the desira-
bility of united action by the Allies

GOVERNOR COX
REFUSES TO STAY
EXECUTION PAPPAS

Boston, July 11-Governor Cox to-
day decided against taking any ac-
ton to stay the execution Of Paul
Daskalakis, alias Pappas, who has
been sentenced to die for the murder
Of Mrs. Alice Arsenault, lodging
house keeper of this city. Since his
conviction a long fight has been
waged andthree separate motions for
a new trial have been heard and
denied. Pappas' latest reprieve ex-
pires at midnight tonight.

In June. 1922, Paul Daskalakis,
'otherwise known as Paul Pappas,
was convicted by a Suffolk county
jury of the murder in the first de-
uary 16, 1923, was sentenced to death.
-" Since the jury met three
separate motions for a new trial
have been filed and heard by the JUS
tice who presided at the jury trial
and each denied. The case has been
before the supreme judicial court
three times and each time decision
adverse to Pappas contention has
been given"
After recounting the discovery Of
the lodging house proprietor's body
in a pile of ashes in a Columbus ave-
nue. cellar, the statement concluded:
Although the defendant has writ
ten me maintaining his innocence. he
has offered no word of explanation to
support it. On every occasion re-
qucsted I have conferred with the
defendants counsel and with others
interested in the case and have car
nestly considered their pleas for lem
iency. 1 have reviewed the court
proceedings as well as read much of
the evidence in the case. I am con-
WINGED that Pappas had fair trial
before a judge and jury. There is
therefore no justification for interior
ence with the verdict of the jury and
sentence by the court"
