1500 JOIN POSSE UNTING BANDITS Heavily Armed Men Surround Three Desperadoes, Who Wrecked Train. * Special Dispateh to The Star. ASHLAND, Ore. October 13—A of amateur, but bloodthirsty who sought to emulate the trio train bandits, the most spectucular deeds of notorious James boys of two Benera- tions ago, today are being sought in the rugged Siskyou mountains, along the California-Oregon line, in one of the greatest man hunts ever staged in the west. A great of 1,300 heavily armed men has been thrown about e wooded mountain district where the bandits are believed to have taken refuge, and is steadily closing in on theé quarry. Among the man hunters are w half dozen typically western sheriffs with their posses, government agents, railway_detectives, national guardsmen and Indian trailers. The rs were called on when it was discovered that the desperadoes had eosoted the soles of thelr shoes so that bloodhounds were unable to keep the scent Blew Up Mail Car. A battle to the death was expected ate today, when the cordon had brought the fugitives to bay some- where in the mountain fastnesses. The desperadoes are heavily armed and already have evinced their diness to slay by killing four men and wounding a fifth in their cleverly plunned, but abortive train hold-up. The possemen will ask and give no auarter. The desperate trio ure the men who late Thursday halted a Southern Pu- cific passenger train in a tunnel sev enteen miles from hers, and who, wrter wantonly shooting down the en- zincer, his fireman and a brakeman, blew the mail car to bits with dyna- mite because a heroic mail clerk re- fused to open the door. In setting off the dynamite charge the bandits se- riously imperiled the lives of more Than 200 passengers, including two- score women and children. That the long tunnel where the hold-up and explosion occurred did not cave in and bury the train beneath thousands of tons of earth and rock is re garded as almost miracuious “News Butch” a Hero. That the bandits were amateurs, guided only by what they had read of desperado tactics, is the belief of the man-hunt leaders. The hold-up, they declare, smac! of heroics from start to finish. Experienced train rob- bers never slay unless they have to. These killed ~without provocation. Veteran bandits would have blown the door off the mail car with just the right amount of dynamite. These used enough to blow the car to bits, thus destroying the registered mail pouches for which they staged the hold-up. Out of the hold-up has emerged a hero, in the person of L. T. Vail, the train's “mews butch.” Half-choked with fumes from the dynamite that wrecked the mail car, Vail stood in the aisle of a car filled with women and children and, with ready wit that was matched only by nerve, “kidd- «d” them out of a panic. Then he dug out a supply of towels from the porter’s supplies, soaked them with water and dealt them out as im- provised gas masks. When it was all over, embarrassed by the praise heaped upon him, Vail fled into a baggage car and refused to come out OCKVILLE. ROCKVILLE, Md., October 13 (Spe- ctal).—James F.

WINTER TORTURES PEOPLES IN EXODUS Greek-Turk Exchange Will Be Hastened to Enable Spring Planting. By Cable to The Star and Philadelpbia Public Ledger. Copyright, 1923, CONSTANTINOPLE, October With the cold winds of the steppes heralding winter's approach, history’s first obligatory exchange of popula- tions began yesterday between Greece and Turkey. The details of the movement in- volving & minimum of 300,000 Turks and 80,000 Greeks were arranged by the mixed commission of Greeks and Turks established by treaty, which has been sitting as arbitrators in dis- putese A most striking tribute has been paid to America, which the treaty did not mention, but which both the Greeks and Turks have asked to act in a special advisory capacity in car- & out the exchange to assure fair play and efficiency. H. C. Jaquith, head of the Near East Relicf, has ac cepted this role and has furnished his experienced personnel to supervise the operations on the spot Thanked By Moslems. Before the movement began, 8,000 Turks there being exchanged gainst a similar number of Sumsun Greeks, Mr. Jaquith received here a delegation of Mitylene Moslems who came specially to thank America for assisting, de- aring that simply the presence of an American—James Crutcher—on the island increased popular confi- dence. Mr. Jaquith expects that 40,- 000 persons on each side, the Turks from the islands and the Greeks from Samsun, will be moved during the winter and the remainder of the spring. Cholce of Winter. While a winter exchange seems cruel, every effort has been made to increase the number moved before spring, so they will be ready to plant their crops. It is believed under the circumstances that it is less cruel to move the peopie now than to leave them living from hand to mouth and wintering in a hostile country. g Mr. Jaquith hopes to get each side to guarantee not to molest the lives and property of those whom it is de- cided not to exchange immediately. The general poverty in Turkey and Greece increases the inevitable suffer- 1ing of those exchanged. RING AND BOOK CLUES Body Found Tied to Concrete Pier in Lake Michigan—Face Badly Bruised. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 13.—A notebook ring and a thumbed copy of the poem “Pippa Passes.” with the name “Anna A. King” inscribed on the fiyleaf, are the clues to the identity of a woman whose body, fastened by a clothesline to a concrete pier at the edge of a suburban estate, was found floating last night in Lake Michigan. The body bore clothing of excellent m; terial and apparently was that of a forty-two-year-old woman. Both murder and suicide theories were advanced by the police to ex- plain bruises and discolorations on the woman's face, which was covered by a white silk stocking when the body was found. The body was either battered against the rocks near the shore or was beaten before it entered the water, police said. No Information regurding the woman was obtained last night by j police, who made a canvass of per: sons whose names were found in the notebook. The names were all of Chi- cagoans, police said, with the excep- tion of “Thomas H. Parrish, 55 Pali- sade avenue, Pasadena, Calif.’ The notebock and poem were found in the pocket of a woman's coat near the end of the pier to which the body was attached. s | | The Enclosed Porch Fall is the time toen- close your porch or veranda with glass. | Itiseasilyand quickly doneand theexpense | issmall.Seeyourlocal contractor about it. i Use Mate Gia: Founded 1884 HIRES TURNER GLASS COMPANY WASHINGTON, D.

FRENCH ARRANGING PACT WITH RUSSIA Soviet Ready to Pay Interest on War Bonds, Paris Of- ficials Hint. By Wireless to The Star and Philadelphia Pub- lic Ledger. Copyright, 1923 PARIS, October 13.—French recos- nition of Russia through the medium of a commercial treaty is forecast in extraordinary negotlations going on today between a group of French bankers and capitalists and A." L. Scheinmann, head of the Soviet Bank. Although the negotiations are being conducted with great secrecy, it is significant that at the same time the bankers were conferring Paul Rogers; president of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, made a statement to the effect that “commerclal relations b tween France and Russiu can be re- sumed with adequate guarantees from Moscow.

It is authoritatively stated that the other negotlations are: First, to ar- range for financing the reconstitution of the sugar industry in the Ukraine; second, to bring about through French banking interests recognition of the soviet government by the Quai d'Orsay, in return for which Moscow will offer very tempting compensa- tion for the holders of the old Rus- sian bonds; third, to negotiate large sales of Russlan wheat to France; fourth, to arrange for one of the French banks to act in the future as the official financial representative of the sovlet government, and, fifth, to secure recognition for international currency purposes of the new sovie ten-rubie gold notes, cr _tchervonets which were f{ssued by Moscow last December and are backed partly by gold and partly by merchandise.

OGLETHORPE ISSUE TURBS BRITISH Many Protest Removal of Body of General From Burial Place He Chose. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, October 13.—Although the uncovering of the Oglethorpe vauit has not stirred popular feeling as did the hunt for Pocohontas-—doubt- less owing to the reverence and priv- acy observed at Cranham—there have been many sporadic protests against the removal of the general's body. These have been chietly in the form of letters to the newspapers, and such signs of opposition are increas- ing. Among the points made by the ob- jectors is that Gen. Oglethorpe was thorouzhly an Englishman, spending only twelve vears of his life in Georgia, and doubtless chose the place of burlal he and his wife preferred. Moreover, it is pointed out that Georgia was founded as an English colony, and that Gen. Oglethorpe never would have undertaken his great proj- ect had he suspected that some day his colonists would rebel success- fully against England, The Morning lost, in an edltorial today, supports the opposition to the removal and appeals to the public to protest, not only on the ground of patriotism, but of reverence for the dead. “We are proud that an Englishman should “deserve such honors as are suggested by the people of Georgia,” isays the newspaper. “but his rame jis the more reason why England should cherish him." Several of the newspape prominence to the protest sent the city of Savannah. give by ‘| PLANS TO BE FOLLOWED. Representative Upshaw Declares Body Will Be Brought Here.

By thie Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 13-—Japan will make a very substantial recovery in three years from the loss and,destruc- tion of the recent earthquake, Dr. M. Ishizaka, president of Ayama Col- lege of Tokio, one of the largest un versities in the empire, declared upon his arrival here from Tokio. He is on an expedition to try to obtain Amer- ican aid in rebuilding Japan's de- stroyed educational institutions “Japan,” Dr. Ishizaka said, “has al- ready commenced to rebuild the stricken cities of Tokio and Yoko- hama, and those centers and the sur- rounding devastated districts should recover with the speed of France after the war. But it will be more than mere reconstruction. It will mean city planning and city building along occidental rather than oriental lines. 'The new Tokio will be more like Chicago or New York thun the historic old Japanese city. Brick and wooden construction will he discard- ed and steel and reinforced concrete will prevail The earthquake. he said, mav be a bl 1ng in disguise in one sense, just as the Chicago fire proved a benefit to Chicage through the reconstruction ulun_fi modern lines that resulted. “Everywhere in Japan you hear to- day that America is the most friendly nation to Japan in the world,” he said. Everywhere there is a n=e of great gratitude and praise. The old feeling of distrust has been swept away—an accomplishment that a century of po- litical maneuvering could not achieve. Rev. Charles W. Iglehart, a mis- sionary in Tokio, who accompanied Dr. Ishizaka, told of a fourteen-year old girl carrying a two-year-old baby who escaped when 30,000 others around her were killed in the quake. Tokio is preparing to rebuild for & ecity of 5,000,000 people, the visitor said.
