FESLER TO ASK CIVIC CODIES TO BACKTfIX fight County Auditor Refuses to Abide by State Board Decision Cutting Levy. EXPECTS TO CO INTO COURT increase of State Rate Also Ob? ject of Attack by Official. ’ Committees from the Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Civic H'eagues and the Board of Trade will asked to go over the Marion County budget and pass on the justice of the action of the county in refusing to abide by the order of State board of tax commissioners trAc the levy be cut 1 cent, Leo K. Fe*ler, county auditor, said today. Fesler will also ask the commif'ees for support in refusing go pta\? the 3 cent increase on the tax dup\cate asked for the State. Thus he £gured that he would in the end save; the taxpayers an increase of 2 cetjts in the levy, or $140,000. Expects Court Fight “I (Understand that when I act contrary to law' in refusing to abide by the dec sion of the tax board, that I am taking the responsibility and that I am likely to be pulled into court,” Mr. Fesler said. "I intend to let them take me into court. Then I shall show the court that we need the proposed levy for the efficient and economical administration of the affairs of the county/ Fesler then told of his request that the three civic organizations appoint representatives to go over the budget with him.

If someone then wishes to A court and enjoin the collection of taxes the case will be submitt’-d on its merits. Char-.es Politics *‘l am fully convinced that the tax board, by the county levy, is trying to hide the 3-cent increase in the State levy ordered by the tax board itself. If we had played politics by asking for an increase and then taking a redaction, it would have been a different flatter, but we asked no increase over tjie lavy of last year “I have always, tried to work in harmony with the tax hoard. I stood by the board in 1319. when it ordered horizontal increases, but I do not think the board is' now playing fair and I do not think It is free from politics. “I am never again going to hav anything to do with the State tax board.”

Fifteen bodies have been recovered at Haileybury, seventeen at Heasllp and three at Charlton. -Haileybury, county scat, was razed by withering flames, which were fanned by strong southwest winds, and the fire cut a swath through the central section of the stricken district. Refugees Arrive Refugees are pouring Into North Bay with stories of the disaster that exceed in horror anything Canada has known since the Mathieson conflagration of 1916. Automobiles, wagons and conveyances of every description still crowded roads leading from the district today, as a check-up showed the full extent of the disaster. In some sectinns the fires, feught by volunteers, still burned. Rain, which fell last night, checked the main conflagration, however, and saved the district in the path of the flames. Among those w'ho arrived on the first relief train were. Michael Burns, his wife and five children. Burns, a railw’ay employe at Hailebury, was forced to carry his two smallest children to a clearing, with his wife and the larger youngsters following.

Whitlock of Toronto, a traveling salesman, was severely burned about the face and arms saving the lives of thirty-two persons in North Cohalt. He commandeered a truck on which he placed his charges and took them to Cobalt, later bringing them here on the train. “Many put out In small boats to escape, but in most cases the boats swamped at once, as nothing but a large 'steamer could hope to survive in the miniature hurricane that accompanied the first taste of the fire,” Whitlock said.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Unless the powers of darkness again prevail, the third game of the world's series, without the decorations of riot and tumult, will be played at the Polo Grounds this afternoon. Intense feeling aroused against the club owners and baseball In general because the second game of the series was called yesterday In the tenth inning on account of darkness cooled over night when it became known that the Giant and Yankee club owners had decided to turn over the enxire receipts to charity. Fans Disgruntled Perhaps the judgment of the umpires was correct, but their action could have been taken more diplomatically. In the demonstration of fans, during which his personal safety seemed threatened several times, Commissioner Landis saw what suspicion of commercialism amounts to, Just under the surface. Opinions on the wisdom of the umpire's judgment vary. George Hildebrand, umplre-ln-chlef, said several of the players had protested in the eighth Inning. Billy Evans Concurs Billy Evans, generally regarded as the best of the umpires, said after the game that he would have done the same thing. John A.

Lord Curzon, Foreign Secretary, Makes Hurried Trip to Paris for Conference Relative to French Near East Attitude. STATEMENTS ALWAYS AT VARIANCE Secret Nature of Mudania Conference Prevents Correspondents From Ascertaining Truth About Failure of Armistice. By Vnited Pr ’is LONDON, Oct. 6.—France and Britain have been brought once more to loggerheads by developments at Mudania during the allied-Turk preliminary peace parley. Lord Curzon, foreign secretary, went hurriedly to Paris today to talk directly with Premier Poincare regarding M. Franklin Bouillon’s intervention in the Near East and France’s support of the Turks at the conference. Curzon expects to find out exactly what the French have said to Kemal. Communiques at Variance Diplomatic considerations have been injected by the French, through Franklin Bouillon, into what was to have been purely a military conference regarding an armistice, it was said here. Secret diplomacy has made many things possible in the Near East this past week. Each country gives out its own communiques, and these are always at variance. Unofficially, Franklin Bouillon was spoken of as the “enfant terrible’’ of the situation, at least from a British point of view. He has reported to his government startling Greek atrocities iu Thrace, where fifty villages have been burned.

ENTER CONSTANTINOPLE British Troops Acclaimed as Defenders by Christian Population. By Vnited Press CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct.. 6.—The grenadier guards, crack British regiment, tramped into Constantinople today, following the breakdown of the Mudania peace conference, and the approach of Kemalist cavalry toward this former Turkish capital. The British force, brought here by the Empress of India, swung through the streets, band playing, colors unfurled and Constantinople's European population went wild with joy. Christians see In the troops a bulwark against an Ottoman threat to take Constantinople by force and march through to Thrace, if the allies do not immediately cede this territory to Mustapha Kemal. Meanwhile, the secret conference at Mudania has ended In temporary failure. Reports of Failure Vary The exact causes are not known because of the ban against correspondents. It Is reported that Turkish greed, once the allies showed signs of giving way regarding Thrace, caused an abrupt ending of the parley. Another report Is that the Greek representative. General Mazarakis, refused to acquiesce in the slightest degree to Greece withdrawing from Thrace. The Turks are understood to have demanded that the handing over of Thrace and Constantinople take place immediately, while it was the idea of the allies that this should not be done until after the next peace conference. Asa result of this Impasse, Mustapha Kemal has come personally to take part in the dispute, and will meet with General Harington, British representative, at Broussa tomorrow. The Mudania conference, it was said today, might be resumed this eve-
