Gary Police Chief Denounces Story of Phillip Ilkman Made Yesterday. Chief of Police W. A. Forbls of the Gary police department was Indignant last night when, he read the statement of Fhllip Ukman's wife that he police "framed" on her father, Ella Viat5r. when he was arrested early this week for violating the state liquor law. Mrs. Ukman, wife of the bribetaker now held under arrest on charges of forgery, made the statement that cno saw two bottles un der the coat tail of the officer as he was going up the stairs on his way to search for liquor. These bottles she claims are the ones "planted" by the police to "frame" on her father. Just the same as Ukman stated they "framed" on him. "If these were tho bottles, then what of the . five or six half pints found In a cache-in the house," remarked the police. "Also what of the gallon jug which had nearly been emptied, and on top of this fact the police brought a package containing pint pop bottles filled with moonshine to the station." The package was wrapped up with part of an old thirt and some paper was lodged In between the bottles so they could not break. The police brought this to the police station intact and was not molested after It was taken from Its hiding place for fear some, story of this kind might be concocted by the Viators, the police say. Chief Forbls termed the state ment this morning as a base lie and only a means of trying to save the Viators from punishment. If the police were trying to "frame" on Ukman. they say, why did they tell Chief Bert Morgan and George Winkler of the prohibition forces the night of Ukman's arrest to search his father-in-law's house for liquor. A reporter was present when the statement was made that Ukman's father-in-law had liquor in his home, the reporter even asking Mr. Morgan to make a trip that night to search the Viator house. Mr. Morgan declined, however, as did Mr. Wlnklor, stating that maybe It was a "frame up" and they would also have to go to Hammond first to get a search warrant. As far as is known, the federal agents have not made an effort to search the Viator home since. The police state that if there had been a "frame up" on Ukman, why is it that efforts were made long before Ukman's arrest to find liquor in the Viator home? They had been waiting their chance to "get him with the goods" and this did not come until early this week. The first report that the police received was that Viator had a good sized stock of bonded liquor on hand. This the police told the prohibition enforcement officers when they attempted to uphold Ukman's character and get him out of jail. GREEKS ARE LEAVING THRACE CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 14. Official evacuation of Greeks from Eastern Thrace will begin at midnight, but thousands hare already left since the signing of the armistice at Mudania. There are about 400,000 Greeks to be evacuated into Greek territory, which is already filled to overfloklng with penniless, starving fugitives. Many trains have been commandeered to carry Greeks from Eastern Thrace and from this city. Despite their threats to remain and fight the Turks, the Greek army of occupation in Eastern Thrace Is already moving westward. At some places the Greeks have been terrorized by Turkish irregulars and are fleeing In panic. The inter-allied high commission in this city has sent a note to the Turks requesting special consideration for Grak prisoners who were previously residents of Anatolia (Asiatic soil). It is expected the Greek patriarch will be removed from Turkish soil owing to the emphatic declaration of the Turks that in the future the Turkish territory will be for Turks only. Now that the Greek commissioner has been Instructed to sign the armistice protocol It Is believed that he will do so at once. The Near East peace conference probably will convene by Nov. 10. Lausanne or Venice is now favored over Scutari. Allied officials believe that the troubles arising ovo violation of the neutral zone by the Turks can be arranged throuhg negotiation. The Turks have already withdrawn at some points, notably at Chanak. Spiders, tree-frogs, lizards and snakes are often found concealed in cargoes of ptneappl, bananas an1 other f'uits from the tropics. '
