INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICES LONDON Sept. 23. -- Guns are bring landed from British warships at Constantinople and mounted for the protection of the rlty axaluat the Turks, said advices from that place today. The military expert of the Evening News says that the British could not hold Channak. on the Dardanelles, aganst Turkish attacks from Ezine and Highs and that the British fleet in the straits would be useless. By DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, Sept. 23.--Premier Lloyd George, speaking for the British empire, declared this afternoon that the government is opposed to war in the Near East. He proposed that the freedom of the Turkish straits be guaranteed by placing them under the auspices of the League of Nations. The premier's statement, which was given to the world at the first audience Mr. Lloyd George has tendered to the journalists since the great war. says: "The object of Great Britain's military action in the Near East does not concern the future or Anatolia or Thrace. The object of Britain's military action is to insure freedom of the Turkish straits and prevent war from spreading into Europe. "Great Britain dos not want t make a Gibraltar of Chanak. Great Britain desires that the League of Nation insure freedom of the Turkish straits for all nations. "We am not going back on anything we have said. Peace must be established. Peace is our motive. It is essential that we hold Chanak in order to secure the freedom of the Turkish straits for unarmed ships. We want the straits to be held, however, under the auspices of the League of Nations. "We want the straits controlled in the interests of al! the nations. We must try to prevent the prairie fire which devastated Asia from crossing into Europe and lighting the dry tinder of the Balkans. We have every reason to fear a repetition of the terrible incidents of Turkish massacres if war spreads into Europe. There is no knowing what may happen unless the conflagration is arrested. "It is essential to the peace of the world that effective guarantees be obtained securing the freedom of the straits." Word was received that the entrenchments . constructed by the British at Chanak are being extended. Turkish cavalry has reached Adramyti. The commander, after stationing his troops, went forward and conferred with the British office stationed in the neutral zone to dete. fine the exact boundary of the zone. PLAN NEW CLUE Seventy-five men of the Hammond Methodist church met last evening in the church basement, ate and sang and had a high old time. This was preliminary to the announcement that some of the members, after talking it over with many others, had decided that the church should have a Men's club. The proposition met with enthusiastic approval. Speeches supporting the plan were made by Carl Nelson, W. C. Belman, Supt. L. L. Caldwell. Rev. Ben Rist, Charley Surprise and others. So Carl Nelson was picked as temporary president and instructed to select an organization committee of nine. He did so and called the committee together immediately after the meeting closed. The meeting to effect the permanent organization will probably be held in about two weeks. Judge. Henry Cleveland presided at last night's session. The supper was prepared by Claude Lasater and his assistants. Charles Surprise had charge of the serving which was done by the boys of W. C. Belman's Sunday School class. Doc. Davis had the concert orchestra there to furnish music and John E. Myer carroled with them on several popular selections. O. L. Downs took charge of the general singing and put it over in great style. He dug up a tenor "quartet" of five pieces and made them do all kinds of stunts. The Lipscomb Brothers also made a hit with their numbers. - It is planned to work up a membership of at least 300 before Christ-

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 23. --It was Harry Poulln's turn In court today. From Frisco to New York they know the scarlet story of the woman who erred. The story of Mrs. August Tiernan, wife of Professor John P. Tiernan of Notre Dame university, who charges Poulin with being the father of her baby "Blllie"-- born last November. Today, after a few more witnesses for the defense had been heard, the man accused was to tell his story -- a vigorous denial of the charge that he carried on a clandestine love romance with Mrs. Tiernan and that the alleged "love baby" should grow to manhood and know him as his father. The court room presented a different appearance today. The gallery, packed all week by a noisy crowd of spectators which at times hissed and jeered Poulin as he entered the chamber was empty. Judge Ducomb announced at the adjournment of court yesterday that spectators would be barred and only those having proper business in the court were admitted today. Hundreds gathered outside, however, hoping by some means or other to be able to gain entrance. Poulln's testimony was expected to follow the line of evidence already given by his wife, Mrs. Mae Poulin, and other defense relatives in an effort to establish an alibi. He will deny keeping the love tryst with Mrs. Tiernan on the dates specified in her story in February and March of last year, when her November baby was begotten. On that night of February 18, when Mrs. Tiernan testified with tears streaming down her burning cheeks that she went to the darkened haberdashery store with Poulin. keeping the first of her alleged "love dates."' Poulin will swear that he was at home giving one of his children a bath. He will tell of his faithfulness not only to his wife, but to his church and corroborate his wife's story that he went to the Lenten services every Wednesday and Friday night with her. Mrs. Tiernan has said that on these nights in the early spring of a year ago she and Poulin keep their love trysts. The emphatic part of Poulln's story will come when he will swear that from February 28 to March 28 of last year he never was once alone with Mrs. Tiernan. So far as the birth of the baby is concerned this is the crucial period in the case. Unless argument between attorneys drags out the hearing, as was the case yesterday, it was believed that all of the evidence would be in before adjournment today.

Robertsdale Decides to Let Hammond Keep its Lake Front WHITING. Ind.. Sept 23. Hammond will not be forced to junk its navy. Robertsdale is going to be magnanimous and let Hammond retain its lake frontage and Lake Front Park -- such as it is. Moreover Hammond can have Wolf Lake, which may some day become Illiana harbor in fact as well as on paper. These liberal sentiments were expressed today following another enthusiastic dls-annexation meeting at which an executive committee of Robersdale citizens prepared, for action. The committee consists of Harry Glare, an official at the Standard Oil plant; Dr. Ray T. Myrick, A. C. Parkin. Attorney Walter Smith. Ray Brown, C. H. Daugherty, Dr. S! H. Diggs, John Melvin. William Hamon, Walter Bercaw and Dr. H. J. Broderson. WANT TO BE REASONABLE. The expression of sentiment at the meeting was that Robertsdale people want to be reasonable and Just in the matter. It was declared that they only desired to dlsannex the Robertsdale residential district and have no desire to rob Hammond of the big taxes derived from the American Maize Products plant or the railroads at the lake front. It was agreed that Hammond was entitled to the Lake Front park. NATURAL BARRIER. "Geographically. economic ally and sentimentally Robertsdale belongs to Whiting," declared one leading Robertsdale citizen. "There is a natural barrier of distance between Hammond and Robertsdale that cannot be overcome while Robertsdale and Whiting are inseparable. Our family connections are in Whiting and not in Hammond. We do our banking in Whiting and patronize the stores there. We have been extended the courtesy of the Whiting library. The Robertsdale library is over a fire station and the few books tht it has are for children. "How foolish it is for Hammond to plan to spend half a million dollars for a high school and grade schools for Robertsdale when our children can go to the new $300,000 Whiting high school and the splendid Whiting grade schools within easy walking distance. The taxes that Hammond collects in Robertsdale are negligible as compared to the costs of improvements, fire and police protection and schools. Robertsdale is a liability to Ham-mond. FRENGH MET TO APPROVE TURKISH NOTE INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE PARIS, Sept. 23. With Premier Poincare presiding, the French cabinet met today to approve the Turkish note drawn up by the delegates of England, France, Italy and Jugoslavia inviting Turkey to a peace conference. The note pledges Turkish sovereignty over Constantinople and Eastern Thrace, but specifies that the Turkish straits must be internationalized, or made neutral for the commerce of all powers. This means that the Turks get a foothold in Europe, but they will not be allowed to fortify the Darda nelles and hold it as strictly Turkish as they did before the great war. The final meeting of Premier Poincare. Lord Curz"n. British foreign secretary, and Count Sforza, Italian ambassador to France, was scheduled for 2 o'clock at the foreign office. There were four questions at stake: 1 --Will the British consent to withdraw from Chanak on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, which they have refused to do up to date. 2-- Will the British sign the Franco-Italian note to the Turks or insist upon sending a separate invitation to the same conference. 3-- Will Britain consent to give Kemal formal assurances of all that section of Thrace laying as far as the Maritza river and including the city of Adrianople. 4 --Can the powers agree upon a formula for the freedom of the Turkish straits Dardanelles, Sea of Marmora and Bosphorus? 22 HURT IN SHOP BRAWL KNOXVIX.LE.

FFIGIALS PREPARE FOR
FIRST Federal officials who have had a hand in the arrests of alleged liquor law violators in Gary in recent weeks were today preparing for the first legal set-to Monday morning when Judge William Dunn and Attorney Blaz Lucas will have their preliminary hearings before Commissioner Charles Surprise. Several other violators who have not waived the preliminary hearing will be on hand also, including Pauline Schultz and Velma Jones, but interest centers around the Dunn and Lucas cases. Lucas, by the way, is supposed to represent the Jones woman when her case comes up. Just how much of the government's evidence against the judge and lawyer will be brought out in the hearing is causing them and their friends much concern. They know that the federal men have two affidavits signed by George Pavich and Gaspare Monte for they were the ones on which their arrest warrants were issued. The compaint stated that there were others who had conspired with the judge and attorney to violate the law, but it did not give their names. Evidently the government has those names but the district attorney is not going to lay his whole case before the defense if he can avoid it. TWO SWITCHMEN MEET DEATH Live Within A Few Doors Of Each Other and both Killed in Rail Accidents the Same Day. The funerals of two well-known Gary switchmen, who met deaths in sparate accidents at the Burlington and Gary yards of the E. J. & E. within a few hours ot each other, were held today. The body of T. E. Watkins, 235 Tyler st., veteran switchman, who was instantly killed at the Gary yards when he stepped from a locomotive into the path of a freight train, was shipped to the former home at Franklin Park, Ill., where funeral services were conducted to-day. Mr. Watkins was 49 years old and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jesse Watkins. The second victim, Thomas P.

A
Bedford. LEGAL SET-TO W. O. Holman, chief of federal agents in the field, returned to Hammond this morning and at once started preparing for Monday's hearing. The arrest of Attorney Phillip Ukman on a charge of accepting a bribe in Gary, caused him little con cern. He takes the same attitude to wards Ukman that Director Bert Morgan has shown. He considers the government's cases alr-tlght. Ukman he says, was merely a sort of handy man for the federal men and at no time had they expected to use him in any of the cases. Had he not deliterately told his story to news papers he probably would never have been mentioned in connection with the Gary cleanup. His desire for publicity drew the attention of Gary to him as the prime mover in the whole affair. "We haven't an affidavit in our files signed by Ukman." said Holman. "If he had -kept his mouth shut he would never have been con nected with the arrests. It's true he furnished us some information, but our evidence has all been worked up by the agents. We used his office as a meeting place frequently, but he had us worried by the way he talked. We were afraid he would let the cat out of the bag any minute." GRAND JURY CALLED FOR CRIMINAL COURT SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT. Ind.. Sept. 23.--The Criminal court will open on Monday for the September term after a three weeks' vacation. The grand jury has been railed for Wednesday, Sept 27, at which time the men who wrecked the Michigan Central train at Gary will be given a hearing, and other misdemeanors will be investigated. Fred A. Ruf. Crown Point; Ed. Scheldt, Hobart; Patrick Harmon. Whiting; L. W. Ragon, Lowell; Frank Tittle, Gary; and Lloyd Sherwood, Indiana Harbor, comprise the jury.

Special Agent From U. S. Department of Justice on Gary Visit Yesterday Phillip Ukman attorney and dry agent, who is under arrest in Gary on charge, of forgery and bribery and who, up to this hour, has been unable to furnish a $4,000 bond for his release, win not get a preliminary hearing in the Gary police court. Following a visit to Gary yesterday by J.J. Donovan, special agent from the Intelligence department at Washington. D. C. Prosecuting Attorney Dwight M. Kinder filed charges against Ukman direct in tne criminal court at Crown Point. Instead of Bert Morgan, chief of the state prohibition enforcement department, securing Ukman's release as Ukman said he would the alleged bribe taker is still in custody and this morning was removed to the county jail at Crown Point. "I am not worrying." Ukman said following his arrest last Tuesday evening after he tore up a fake warrant for $1300. the money being found on his person. "Mr. Morgan will be over here and get me out." Morgan did come over the same night, but only asked the amount of the bond and as far as is known has done nothing to secure Ukman's release since. Attorney W. H. Mathews of Gary, who took Ukman's case after several other Gary attorneys had turned Ukman down, scored the police this morning for calling the newspaper men into the case. "They make me tired," he stated. "They knew if they called the newspaper men in they would get the publicity." Mr. Mathews was informed by the reporter that the reason the newspaper men were called into the case to witness Ukman accept the money was because the public would not believe the police if no other than police authorities witnessed the bribing. Newspaper men did see Ukman take the money and as far as they are concerned there is no question as to his guilt. During his visit in Gary, Mr. Donovan was supplied with valuable information. Besides evidence supplied him by the police, officials and reporters, he questioned a number of reliable Broadway business men. Before returning to Washington. Mr. Donovan stated that the Intelligence office intended delving still deeper into the case. Although their names have not been learned, a Times reporter has information that other government agents are in the city. An error on the dockets of the Gary police court which have been under the observing eyes of the dry agents and ether government officials for several months was aired by one government official yesterday. He found that the much-talked-of discrepencies merely amounted to the fact that the court in a number of cases had failed to show whether or not committments papers had been issued in sending the prisoners to Jail. City Judge Dunn told a reporter that this was done down stairs in the polico department and record made of it there. whether the prisoner paid his fine or was sent to Crown Point on default. A packed court room of residents and lawyers were on hand this morning to catch a glimpse of the much-talked-of Ukman, and it was a disappointment to many when they learned he would be unable to put in his appearance.
Make Rail Injunction Permanent [INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE] CHICAGO. Sept. 23--In one of the most vita and far reaching decisions ever handed down in a tribunal of the United States, Federal Judge Ja mes H. Wilkerson today sustained the government's appeal for a nation-wide injunction against the rail road crafts and their leaders. The decision took 36 hours for preparation and was read to a packed court room shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. Attorneys for the defense who had battled vainly against the drastic injunction and the government's attorneys who had presented a mass of affidavits to sustain their contention that a conspiracy to obstruct inter-state commerce existed, leaned forward anxiously to listen to the judge read from his closely typewritten pages the decision that would leave a permanent effect upon organized labor In the United States.
