Policy Not Detailed. In just what way France will sup- port England in maintaining the freedom of the straits, is not revealed but competent observers say any mil- itary action by the Turks toward the occupation of the Dardanelles will re- sult in military and naval action by the allies. The statement of Turkish spokes- men in Paris and other places to' the effect that the nationalists will de- mand Constantinople and all of Thrace has placed much unfayorable comment. All the allled powers it is thought here, will be in accord in limiting the Turkish ambitions in Asia Minor with a nominal foothold in Europe. GEORGES CLEMENCEAU BRITAIN, CO Lathers On Horwitz and Wohll Building Found Guilty Of Working On Sunday Contractor Didn’t Know Law Existed — Junkmen Fined for Purchases From Minors. . dsuilty of violation of a sec- e “Blue Laws" by working unnecessarily on Sunday, August Mandell, a contractor, was fined $5, and Joseph Deitch, Michael Deitch, Reinhold Kobb and Louis Greiger, lathers, were assessed $2 each in po- lice court today. The men and John Czellecz, a 16-year-old boy, who was discharged today, were arrested yes- terday afternoon while at work in the Horwitz and Wohll building at the corner of Pleasant and Fairview streets. The building is the one upon which repairs are being made of such an extensive nature as to lead Mayor A. M. Paonessa to believe the ordi- nances on frame structures within fire limits will be violated, and he has un- der consideration an injunction to re- strain the owners from carrying out their plans. Neighbors Complain. Acting on complaint of neighbors, Policemen Hanford Dart and' James McCabe went to the building yester- day afternoon and found all the ac- cused at work lathing. They were notified to appear in court this morn- ing. With the exception of the Czel- lecz boy, all entered pleas of guilty. The lad said he was not hired by anyone, nor was he to receive pay, but was merely amusing himself by hammering up laths. He was warned against further disturbances of the neighborhood and sent home. ‘Working Gratis, They Say. The Deitchs, who are cousins, both offered the same explanation. They said Mandell had a contract and knowing that he was the father of 10 children, they decided to help him out for a few hours, gratis.

DEFER OPERATION AS PATIENT IS IMPROVED Condition of Mrs. Harding Today Is Highly Satis- factory to Doctors terviewer. Four Lectures Planned returned M.

Secretary Wallace who called shortly after 8 o'clock said that Mrs." Harding had spent a fairly restful night. Secretary weeks who called later said he had been informed that the night had been the best the pa- tient had had since her condition be- came alarming. President Harding was reported to be greatly encouraged by the seeming improvement today in his wife's con- dition. An air of optimism pervaded | the White House those in intimate touch with the patient appearing to be in better spirits over her condi- tion than at any time during the past three days. Refreshed somewhat by a night's sleep the president continued to keep in constant touch with his wife's bed- side and with the attending physi- clans. The presence at the White House of the entire consulting staff made complete yesterday by the ar- rival here of Dr. Charles Mayo, specialist from Rochester, Minn, seemed to strengthen the hope that Mrs. Harding would successfully pass through the present crisis. An endless stream of close friends of the president and Mrs. Harding visited the White House during the day. The president personally met with most of them and was reported to be bearing up well under the strain. Among those who cal!led was ‘Wil H. Hays, former postmaster gen- eral. Business at the executive was practically at a standstill only routine matters being transacted by the clerical force. The president re- mained away from his office. Messages of sympathy all express- ing the hope that Mrs. Harding would be restored to health continued to ar- rive, many of them from leaders in governmental and private affairs in other countries anything like that.

In fact, he said there were no less than 25 applications from firms who wanted to build a hotel here, but the committee wanted to get a corporation with a reputation to come here, so did not consider anybody but the American Hotels and the United Hotels corporations, which are practically allied concerns and the largest in the world. The American Hotels corporation will come to New Britain and is interested in furnishing a permanent management here, in a hotel to have from 150 to 200 rooms, Look Over Sites, Many building sites were looked over by the Hockenbury Systems, In- corporated, of Harrisburg, which made the survey.
