SEEK PEACE BAS INGRECO-TURK WAR British, French, Turkish and Greek Governments Confer. t “May Drop Venice Pariey. Ry the Associated Press. PARIS, September 12.—Conversa- tions are taking place between Great Britain and France and the Turkish nationalist and Greek governments over the question of arriving at a basis of peace in the near east. These conversations were taken up after the British government had refused to consent to the immediate convening of the proposed conference at Venice to settle near eastern problems. Great Britain notified France that she felt the proposed conference would be valueless until preliminary diplomatic negotiations had develop- ed a general plan for peace upon which the conference could work. Tt is suggested now that the Venice meeting may be abandoned. giving way to another meeting later at the some other place Dardanelles Defense Taken Up. Active military and naval prepara- tlons are being made at Constanti- nople for the possible defense of the straits of the Dardanelles, and it is reported in Paris unofficial quarters that the French, Italian and British forces in the near east probably will co-operate closely in the event of a nationalist move on the sublime porte in Constantinople. The French government is await- ing the receipt of the official Turkish nationalist peace terms before mak- ing & formal declaration regarding its attitude on the dispenition of Thrace and the straits, but meantime the three powers are taking all the necessary military precautions in Constantinople.

Propdnents have defended the tarit in the long Senate discussion of it as the “best balanced” protective tariff bill ever written and the first such measure to accord to agriculture a proper need of pmptection. Democratic opponents, on the other hand, have as. sailed it as the most “iniquitous tariff ever presented to the American Congress, as certain to increase the cost of living by several billions of dollars a year and as a vehicle to en- able American manufacturers to con- tinue war prices. Big Political Issue. Both republicans and democrats will take the fight over the bill to the country in the coming political campaign. The democrats plan espe- cially to center their fire on the wool, sugar and dye provisions and on the proposed . taxes on foodstuffs and commodities in common use in the household and on the tarm.

The vote on both sides was light, about 60,000 republicans going to the polls, of whom 36,000 voted for France, and 83,000 democrats. The republicans had only the senatorial contest to draw-them. but the demo- crats had fights in five congressional districts. Chief interest in the congressional contests centered in the first district, in which Representative T. Allan Goldsborough, a dry. won easlly over Alexander M.

HALE HAS BIG LEAD. | PORTLAND, Me., September 12.— Revised figures on the election in Main yesterday, with forty-four small towns missing, today showed Senator Frederick Hale, republican, re-elected over his democratic opponent, for- mer Gov. Oakley C. Curtis, by a ma- jority of 26,392 votes. The same pre- cincts give Gov. Percival P. Baxter, republican, a margin of 28,671 over Mr. William R. Pattangall, democrat, former attorney general. The vote of these 591 precincts out of 635 in the state, representing 476 out of 520 citles and towns, for senator, was: Hale, republican, 99.183; Curtis, demo- crat, 72,791 For governor: Baxter, republican, 102,094; Pattangall, democrat, 73,423. The same precincts in 1920, when the vote was the heaviest on record be- cause of the interest in the presiden- tial election and the fact that women were voting for the first time gave, for governor: Parkhurst, rapublican, 133.- 313; Mclntire, democrat, 69:835. The missing precincts cast less than 3.000 votes in 1920, when the republican plurality for governor was 65,346 Latest returns on the congressional vote show majorities for the four present representatives. all republi- cans, ranging from 4,200 to 10,000, as compared with republican margin ranging from 14,000 to 19,000 in 1920. Gov. Baxter sald the given the republican candidates were “entirely satisfactory and about what conservative political observers ex- pected.” Mr. Pattangall asserted that the campaign had “put the democratic party in .good shape to make the fight in 1924, and said returns which he had compiled showed the democrats had increased their membership in the legislature from fifteen to forty, or fifty in the house, and from no sen- ator to three. One woman, Mrs. Dora B. Pinkham, was elected to the state house of rep- resentatives. She is a republican. Miss Nettie C. Burleigh, republican, was defeated for representative by only sixteen votes. The women went to the polls in large numbers, but the vote of the men fell far behind that of 1920. The total vote was about 30,000 less than that of two years ago, the republicans losing about 33,000 and the democrats gaining 3,000. “MAINE INDORSES G. 0. P.” John T. Adams. chatrman of the re- publican national committee, today is- sued the following statement on the Maine election: “The result in Maine furnishes its own comment. It is an indorsement of the republican administration at Washington, United States Senator Hale and all the republican represent- atives are re-elected to help constitute a republican majority in Congress for two more years for the purpose of continuing the work, so well begun, of getting the nation back to normal eondition: “The majority given the republican candidates for governor, United States senator and are the greatest ever given republican state and congres- sional tickets in Maine for twenty years, with the exeeption of the landslide of 1920.

Seven of the nine new school build- ings authorized by Congress in June, 1921, will be ready for use early in the coming school year, Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris told the Commissioners in his annual report. “This building program,” Mr. Har- ris said, “is now nearing completion and three scheols have already been accepted by the Commissioners, namely, the Monroe, Deanwood and Mott. “It is expected that practically all of the buildings except the Bell School will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the school year.” Bell School Delnyed. The Bell School, Mr. Harris explain- ed. had to be started later than the others owing to a last-minute change in the site for the structure. The other project which has been held up is the Smothers School, on which the lowest bid obtained exceeded the &p- propriation. Mr. Harris expresses the belief that reasonable bids were not received on the Smothers School because the site is 0 far out that comtractors could not get mechanics to work on such & job while plenty of work was avail- able in the city proper. The price per cubic foet for most of the work done on last year's school building _program, the report states, ranged from 31 to 33 cents. The Smothers School, he said, would have cost 45 cents per cubic foot, on the basis of bids submitted. Mr. Harris said he hoped to save a sufficient amount on the other buildings to increase the allotment available for the Smothers, and thereby begin that buflding in the near future.

JACKSON, Calif., September 12.— Ten feet more were gained in the 3.600-foot @rift in the Kennedy mine last night by rescuers who are dig- ging through from that mine to the Argonaut mine, where forty-seven men are entombed. The men on the 3.600-foot level had 89 feet to go before they reached the rocks which form the last barrier betweem dig- gers and victims. * Five additional feet were gained in the rock on the 3.900-foot level, leav- ing a balance of 132 feet to go before the workers on this level reach the Argonaut. It was announced there was no pos- sible chance of reaching the men ve- fore Friday on either level. From Seattle came word that J. W. Bullock, owner of enother mine near the Argonaut workers, had begun raising a fund with which to reward the first crew to break through into the Argonaut. It was expected this would reach $5.000. The mine’'s offi- cials already have offered one reward of $5,000 for this. “PISTOL TOTER” GIVEN YEAR.

E. Fowler & Co., the brokers who made the sale. It as claimed that as Fowler was Lake's agent and that if he bridbed the_ attorney for Mrs. du Pont, then such act was the act of Lake and the contract of sale made under such con- ditions could be rescinded by Mrs. du oPnt. Attorney W. Gwynn Gardiner, for Mr. Lake, denied that he had made any misrepresentations to Mrs. du Pont or to her attorney in Wilming- ton. and said he had never seen either of them. He also denied that Fowler the agent of Lake. but regarded him as the agent of the buyer, al- though he admitted paying him the tommission after Mrs. du Pont had written that she would not pay a commiszfon. He had no knowledge of any division of the commission, it was stated. Ne Equity Alleged. Mr. Gardiner contended the court should not appoint a receiver, since it was admitted by the plaintiffs that the property is not worth more than the total of the encumbrances—about $2.500,000. and therefore there was no equity for a receiver to hold.

He said the tenants are interested in the outcome of the peti- tion to rescind the sale of the prop- erty, as, under the terms of the order of the rent commission, about $25,600 is due to be repaid to tenants whose rent reductions were made retroactive to last March.
