PAGE TEN Che Casper p Erroune GREEKS REFUSE ALLIED PLAN 10 MAKE CHANGE IN SEVRES TREATY Message Received Today by Greek Delegate Not Taken Seriously, How- ever, by the Allies Associated Press) LONDON, Feb. 28. — Greece has refused to accept the proposal that an investi- gation of conditions be made in Thrace and Smyrna prep- aratory to making alterations im the Sevres treaty. M. Klogerop- ousos, head of the Greek delegation in this city, today received a tele- fram to this effect from the athens government. ‘The note was not presented to the Allies and it is possible therefore, that & subsequent telegram may annul the one received today. In any event, the Greek refusal was not taken se- riously, it was said in Allied circles. The Greek legation in London re- ceived last night a message that mass meetings had been held in Athens, Pi- raeus and Smyrna, at which were passed resolutions declaring that Greece was “prepared for any sacri- fice of blood in defense of her sacred rights, which were embodied in the Sevres treaty.” In the meantime, Moslem members of the council and state legislative assembly of Delhi have asked the sec- retary of state for India to suggest to the Near East conference the re- storation of Thrace and Smyrna to the Turks. Counter charges that cruelties have been inflicted by the Greeks upon Turkish subjects in the Smyrna region have been filed by ‘Turks. Thus opens a week which the Lon- don Times declares “probably will de- cide the fate of the entente and with it the Mapai Vohaetlany of the world.” LIQUOR TAX IS HELD ILLEGAL WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, — Ken- trucky laws Jevying a special tax on liquors withdrawn from bonded ware- houses were held invalid today by the Supreme Court: Several, millions of dollars in taxes already collected by the state were involved. ‘The court sustained lower courts which had granted an injunction to the Kentucky Distilleries & Ware- house company and the J. A. Friebert company, preventing interference by the state authorities to withdrawals of liquor on which the special tax had been paid. SENATOR REED WANTS HOUSTON CITED FOR CONTEMPT, REPORT WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Senato Judiciary committeo investigation of foreign loans and credits met with a check today when Chairman Nelson informed the committee that Secretary Houston had sub- ordered to produce to Secretary Col- by of the State Department for ad- vice as to those which it would be compatible with public interests to before the committee. Senator souri, declared Secretary Hi Houston “ought to be cited for contempt.” Later the senator sald that unless the committee summoned Mr. Houston to appexr . with the full correspondence, would “take the matter before the senate,” “The secretary's whole attitude from the beginning has been one of holding back,” said Senator Reed. ELECTRICITY WILL SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS, ASSERTS STEINMETZ,GREAT WIZARD (By United Press.) SCHENECTADY, N, Y., Feb. 22.— Water and highway transportation, as well as railways, eventually may depend upon electricity for motive Power because of its greater economy and efficiency, according to Dr, Charles P. Steinmetz, the “wizard of electricity. : The famous inventor called atten- tion, in an interview with the United Press, to the success of the électric drive on American warships and th fact that this method of propulsion is being extended to merchant craft As regards automobiles, he said: “When the gasoline engipe was first used for automobiles’ people protested they would never come into general use because the fuel was not readily obtainable. This difficulty was over- come by the simple process of produc: ing more gasoline and establishing supplies in every part of the country. The use of electric automobiles for touring will grow in just the ratio that facilities for recharging storage batteries are extended.” The use of electric engtnes for air- Planes will never become feasible, be. cause of the prohibitive weight of the batteries, considering their power as compared with the power of gasoline engines of corresponding weight, he said. Dr. Stethmetz declareg that water- Power could never completely replace coal and petroleum products for gea- erating electricity, saying that “if ev- ery drop of rain which falls in the United States in a year could be trans- mitted diréctly into power it could not replace our present coal consump- tion.” He similarly characterized th> use of the sun's rays, tides and the wind for solution of our power prob- lems under, present conditions as “dreams,” contending that the ex- pense of harnessing these elements would far outweigh the value of the Power derived. Communication with other planets by radio was said by Dr. Steinmetz to be “possible but not probable.” He said a plant of only 100,090 horse- power might be sufficient to send an electric wave to Mars, but that the es- tablishment of actual communication could depend not only upon the Mar- tians having instruments to record the waves, but on their being Mar- tians. “We are still very limited in the art_of harnessing energy,” “Our use of coal ahd other fuel is extremely wasteful. Our progress in this direction has raised mankind from being machines to being ma- chine tenders. We have undergone a coresponding mental growth. What we need we will make. Our only lim- {tations are the laws of nature. “No one can see into the future. But, judging from our remarkable me- chanical advance in the last century it seems certain that the time wilisoon come when every household in every civilized community will enjoy the benefits that can only come from elec- tricity pecane AS Miss Adeline Carr, a Lordon bride, deserves to be called one of the most courageous of young women, for she consented to eat her nuptial break- |fast in the window of a large furni- ture store, under the eyes of a surg- ing, cheering crowd outside.

TRIBUNAL ASKED TO REVIEW CASE OF |W. W. FOUND GUILTY IN 1920 Legal Battle of Haywood and Other Reds Enters! Final Phase in Appeal to the Supreme Court| (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.— The legal battle for the free- dom of William D, Haywood and seventy-eight other mem- bers of the Industrial Workers of the World who were con- victed in Chicago in 1918 of con- spiracy to obstruct the war draft act, entered its final phase today with the filing of a petition asking the su- preme court to review the trials. The petition was based on the contention that the searzh warrants used by the federal agents in obtaining most of the evidence against the defendants were invalid and that vberefore the evidence was not legally available to the government. The contention was made that neither warrants nor the supporting affidavits, “adequately described eith- er the places to be raided, nor did they recite any facts showing prob- able cause for the issuance of the said warrants.” The places raided, offices of the I. W. private residences. citi tivity. ed tholisands of pounds and wil! be sent to Washington. Those interest- ed in the appeal said the bulk of the evidence to be submitted would set a new record in supreme court pro- cedure.
