Lausanne, Dec, 6, (By Associated Prcss).——TPe entente plan for keeping open the Straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus in time of peace and war provides for the appointment of an international commission of control, composed of the grgat pow- ers, including the United States as well as Turkey, and the ' countries bordering on the Black Sea. Lord Curzon of Great Britain, in the name of the allies, presented the details of the comprehensive project to the Near East conference today. Turks Not Insistent. A change of front on the part of the Turkish delegates was forecast while the conference was in session. A Turkish spokesman outside the auditorium said the Turkish position on the straits control would probably be found nearer to the allied plan than to the Russian. Don’t Want Navy. The Turks, it appears, had sudden- ly realized that the Russian plan for control by Turkish warships would force Turkey to build a navy. Hence doubts had ariggn in the minds of the Turkish delegates who seemed more’disposed to negotiate a scheme for neutralization of the straits and the Black. Sea with some form of in- ternational control. The allied control plan sets forth a scheme for limitation of the num- ber of warships and the total tonnage to be allowed in the waters under control and gives Turkey and the Black Sea coast the right to say how long warships may remain fin their ports. - Suggests Demilitarization, The plan suggests the demilitari- zation of the straits. It also gives Turkey the right to search neutra ‘merchantmen in time of war, Delegate Barrere of France said the proposition represented an attempt to solve the straits prablem without in- fringing upon the sovereignty of Tur- key or that of any country bordering upon the Black Sea. moe iwomer. | Sy Army Aviators Are Killed at Langley Fteld as Planes C Collide NEARLY 39 MILLION In the conference session Washburn Child and Joseph C.

He said the United States holds that the straits and the Black Sea must be open to ships and warships of all na- tions in time of peace and of war, and that it opposes any plan which would give one power control, just as it would in any other international ‘water.

W. Stanley” and “A. W. Rousch,” failed to put in an appearance, It was the second time since the alleged hold-up, that the complaining witnesses failed to| respond when the court was called. After court opened, Justice E. Stanley Welles explained that County Detective Edward J, Hickey had said that he would probably be on hand with some information relative to the whereabouts of the complainants. When, at 8 o'clock, he failed to ap- |pear, the cases were dismissed. Law- yver Edward W. Broder appeared as council for the accused. The affair in which the local men |were alleged to be involved, occurred in daylight, on Saturday, Nov. 18, on a road leading from Newington to this city, The Giardinos, it was al- leged, had entered into a deal to purchase some liquor from ‘‘Stanley.” While the goods were being sampled, Charles Giardino detected ‘‘Stanley” | pouring a liquid out of his sleeve, through a rubber tube. It had been agreed that four barrels of liquor were to be purchased At a price said to be $1,800. A deposit of $50 had h(‘f‘n‘ made. The local men discovered later | in the day that the barrels contained water, and a search wag instituted for | “Stanley.” He was seen driving away in the distance, and the local men started in pursuit of him. Cornered on a side| road, a demand was made for the| |return of the $50 deposit, which tanley” at first was reluctant to give up. However, after some per- suasion he compliéd with the demand. It was said at the time that a revol- ver played a role in the affair, but all of the men concerned have entered a ldenfal of this. It is reported that the | state police are anxious to apprehend tanley” for an alleged double-cross- irg game at Hartford, which netted |him nearly $3,000, and in which methods similar to those in the New- lington case were used.
