Sept. 28—The Crown Prince was sworn in as King George the Second yesterday to replace his father King Constantine who fled from ths, throne when the bloodless revolution swept the country. The ceremonies were presided over by a revolutionary command of three gen- érals’ including General Patoulas: who is evidently replacing Colonel Donatos as chief of-the revolution- ists. Immediately after the ceremony, which lacked the pomp that usually attends such affairs, the revolution- ists announced their intention of: starting their armies to Thrace to defend that teritory from the threat- ened invasion of the Kemalist Tur- kish nationalists. One revolution- ary regiment has landed in Athens to maintain order. The leaders of the revolutionists are determined to pre- vend bloodshed.. Former Premier; Venizelos, who exiled himself to France after Constantine returned, was notified by the revolutionists to take charge of the Greek affairs a- broad.- The revolutionists are divi- ded on the participation of ‘Venizelos in Grecian affairs, General Patoulas is in favor of the former premier but the followers of Donatas are known to bé anti-Venizelists. General Pat- oulas informed Constantine, previous to the swearing in of George the sec- ond, that peace and order will be maintained throughout Greece and the persecution of the leaders of the deposed government' will be avoided. It was reliably stated here that the Grecian ship Averos and the fleet in the Sea, of Marmora have joined the other revolutionary forces in the com- mon cause of the revolution. King' George the Second. the new ruler of Greece, bore the title of the Duke of Sparta before being sworn in. He is 32 years of age and a giant in stature. try in the Northwest, from the scrub | | stitution.

Baer President of Bank Cutting all wires leading out of the twon, auto bandits blew the safe at the Hines State bank about 3 o~ lock this morning and escaped with all the cash, the amount of which has not been given ont. So far as is known, there were three bandits, one stationed at the car which they hid behind cordwood piles near the bank and the other two at the bank, one stationed outside and the other doing the blowing of the safe. They made their getaway in the car and it is reported that they headed toward Bemidji. * ; Hines is located on the M. & I. about three miles northeast of Ten- strike and has a population of about 75, a small farming center. That the robbers did a good job is evidenced by the bank building and fixtures, which were badly dam- aged. The blasts were apparently muffled since only the last one a- roused the town sufficiently to ex- cite interest as to what was going on., Before they could be prevented the bandits made their getaway- Entrance was gained by prying open the fron door. The building is so located that the front door is not visible to the majority of the, residence buildings. That fact, to- gether with the fact that the ex- plosions were well' muffled, aided in their getaway. ' The loss is entirely covered by in- surance, according to H. C. Baer of Bemidji, who is president of-the in- Mr. Baer went to Hines early this forenoon and is personally directing the activities there. H. B. Swel is cashier of the bank.

Blumenfield London, Sept. 28—A Napoleon has been reborn in London—a Napo- leon of crime. Great jewel robberies hove been the outstanding features of this Lon- don season, robberies so huge that Scotland Yard itself admits that these robberies are the work of a master-mind, a super crook. Newspapers are likening this sup- er crook to Professor Moriarty—Con- an Doyle’s famous fiction character. Scotland Yard sleuths have al- ready named this unknown super- thief “Morairity.” They are fully convinced that he is at the head of an international protective organiza- tion of crooks, which plans burg- lary, safe breaking and jewel steal- ing on an unprecedented scale. “Moriarty” they say, has a town house and a country house, a fleet of motor cars and a host of friends, straight and crooked. They do not know what Morairity looks like. He may be a lord, for all they know, but they are convinced that he is a man high in society. J. W. Bell, one of London’s lead- ing assessors, claims to know the man but dare not give him away. All he will: say is that ‘Morairty’’ is the financiers and brains o fthe thieves who work for him. “Morairty” Bell claims, has some women agents as well as men—Some of them, he declares are titled. They will watch an intended victim for months, trail him accross conti- nents, work their way into his home (Continued on Page 8) Dr. E. H. Marcum was awarded the silver trophy at the Kiwanis club meeting this noon, he, having won in the finals from E. H. Denu, the handi- cap golf match played on the Be- midji Country club golf links Wed- nesday afternoon. In the match, Dr. Marcum set a new low record for himself, playing the first nine holes in 44 and the second nine in 48, as against Denu’s gross score of 101. The cup, which has bee held by Mr. Denu for the past two years was presented to the new champion by Graham M. Torrance vice-president of the Country Club. He will hold it for the year and it will again be put up ot the 1923 handicap tourna- ment. His name together with the year will be engraved on the cup. Williams Lake, B.

SMALL FOREST FIRES RFPOR_'I’I"LD_NEAR HERE Several small forest fires are re- ported in this section, although none of them are said to be of serious consequence, with' the exception of one which was at its height between Tenstrike and Hines yesterday. This fire ran over two sections of land but was kept fairly well under control by farmers of that commun- ity District Forest Rarger L. F. John- son reports two ‘fires'in Hubbard county, about’six miles south of Be- midji, yesterday, although these 'were apparently not very serious. The ran- ger’s office hias men at all these fires keeping a sharp lookout to prevent them from spreading and causing serious damage. The forests are now very dry and the utmost pre- caution is necessary. Another fire in the vicinity of Pi- mush Lake, has been reported to Mr. Johnson, by District Forest Ranger, J. F. Letourneau of Blackduck. The fires in the peat bogs north of Red Lake still continue and, acording to Mr. Johnson, probably will until snow falls, since it is practically impossi- ble to do more than prevent fast spreading- Pours His Troops: 'MINNESOT2 HISTORICAL SOCIETY l Minnesota: Fair tonight Friday.

' 2 nto So-Called N eutraIZone LUMBER ASSOCIATES NOT LOCATE PLANT HERE Buyer May Be Located Here to Purchase Raw Material is Report to Association At the noon luncheon of, the Civic and Commerce association Wednes- day, C. L. Isted made a report of the birch hardwood mill proposition, which indicated that the Minnesota Lumber Associates may not go through with the mill as planned. W. A. Babbitt, who is at the head of the concern, reports that investi- gation shows there is not enough birch available close to Bemidji to warrant the milling of hardwood di- mensions on the scale first outlined. Their next consideration is to find a suitable place where birch is more plentiful close at hand, which means |, that the company will have only a buyer located here for the purpose of buying raw materials. P. H. Thomas of Ortonville was introduced to the association mem- bers and state that he was looking over the field with a view to locating a monument business in Bemidji. Mr. Thomas is favorably impressed with Bemidji and the surrounding ter- ritory and will decide within a few days just what his company will do. Mrs. Mary T. Wishman of the Sal- vation Army gave an inspiring talk on the proposed annual appeal drive for Salvation Army funds in the city and exressed a hope that citizen: | would prove as loyal as in the past. | HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FORM BOOSTER CLUB At a meeting yesterday of all the girls of the Bemidji High school, a Girls’ Club was formed.

AMENDMENT ADOPTION IS BUT INITIAL STEP After its Adoption Legislature Must Work Out Details of Plan, Reed Declares (Farm Bureau News Service) Adoption of Amendment No. 1— Rural credits—it is but an initial step in the establishment of a state rural credits system for Minnesota, says J. F. Reed, chairman of a special committee of farm leaders that is sponsoring the amendment, which comes up for consideration at the November 7 elegtions. “The amendment itself,” says Mr. Reed, paves the way for legislative action later, as it will lift the con- stitutional limitation for that now prevents the establishment of a farm loan system such as farmers have needed for years. If the amendment fails to receive the solid support of the rural districts, the legislature will remain powerless to take any steps whatsoever, for without that support adoption seems improbable.” While farm leaders obviously can not ‘at this time state postitively the intimate details the legislature may authorize after the amendment is adopted, they are agreed that the principle of authorization in the pay- ment of loans must be recognized. That is, loans must be made for 30 to 35 years, with regular annual or semi-annual installments, each to cover interest charges and a small payment on the principal so as to re- tire the loan at the end of the period It is also agreed that taxpayers shall’ not bear the cost of the system necessary overhead being met — MAY Notifies British Commander He Will Not Recognize Straits Neutral Zone | KEMAL’S OBJECT MAY BE TO ATTACK CHANAK Twelve American Destroyers Ordered to Help Protect American Interests ' (By United Press) Constantinople, Sept. 28—Musta- pha Kemal poured his legions into the neutral zone today in defiance of the |ultimatum of the allies. - Kemal, leader of the Turkish Nat- ignalist—s, notified Sir Charles Har- rington, British commander-in-chief, that he would not recognize the neut- ral zone of the straits of the Darda- nells. Constantinople is menaced by the latest movement of the Turks. The Kemalists, already entrenched not far from the British in the Chanak area, are concentrating forces at Is- mid, the key to Constantinople.. ‘The latest concentration is viewed with great alarm. The population is more panicky than ever as reports of the advance of the Turks pour in. ' It was be- lieved the allies may be forced to abandon Constantinople if the Kemal- ists advdnce on the city. Authorities here today are doing their utmost to prevent an uprising of the Moslem people. Every Turk is a soldier and it is feared they would all spring to arms if the Kem- alist advance over-seas starts.. With the Turkish militia concen- trating at the very gates of Constan- tinople, the situation at the other side of the Marmora grows more acute. Turks in this section were moving and counter-moving. The Turkish cavalry and machije guns were adyancing north from Erenkeui toward Chanak where the British are entrenched. By this movement the isolation of the British was threaten- ed. In order to frustrate this, Sir Harrington has ordered a detachment of British troops to move southward toward Erenkeui. The British mob- ile army is strongly supported with ile army is strongly supported with machine guns and artillery. Officials with the news of the move- ments of the Kemalists both within and just outside of the neutral zone grew apprehensive that the movement was designed to concentrate artillery with the object of attacking Chanak. The British have located gups at the town of Gallipoli which commands the entrance of the Dardanelles from the Sea of Marmora.
