SOUTHERN PACIFIC FIGHTS TO RETAIN SUBSIDIARY ROAD iWouM Set Aside Court Ruling Difsolvinp Merger Willi Central Pacific. WASHINGTON. Nov. -i (P.y A. P.) The ippeal of the Southern J'acific company to be allo'ved to retain control of the (,'entrai I'acitic, despite a supreme court decision ordering the merger dissolved, came to hearing before the Interstate Commerce commission today with six western states, the T'nion Pacific railroad and number ot i communities. traffic associations! and Ftockholders appearing .is interveners. Two general officers of the merged system, tj. J. Spence. director traffic and I- 1.

While the Union Pacific appeared to oppose the Southern Pacific position, the array of interveners was divided for and against its proposals Fred TI. Wood, counsel of the South ern Pacific, challenged the entrance of the California producers & Shippers association, terming it "merely tho Union Pacific operating under an alias." a charge which H. F. Tredwell. for tho association, promised to meet at the proper time; but as cross examination of wit nesses was rescrwd. the proceed-j inns conMnued without any sharp raising of the Issues.

Mr. pence presented at length a study of traffic conditions on the ;H Pacific ooa?:. emphasizing par ularlv his statement that the! uthern Pacific' association with; : the Central Tacific has not nperat-i ed to divert transcontinental traftic southward and away from the ! Ogden ro'!f. Panama canal traffic. he contended, had largely eliminated ar.y tendency which might ever have existed to make the Southern Pacific's Sunset route a competitor of the Central Tarifie Odgen rout. The two systems today, lie insisted, were oomple-rn'mtery, welded into one unit by lo.g association and the disregard of corporate ownership during new construction and expansion of terminals. Thts unity would be disrupted by the dissolution ordered by the suprenie court. Mr. Tiurckhaker aO "on tinned on Päse Two.)

It was to the vacancy caused by his death that Mr. Felton was appointed last September to serve until the November vinetions.

George Sipel, the pig farmer, who list night popped into the case after his wife announced he wa? innocent of any concern in it, today was ordered before the Jury. Tomorrow in all probability, the grand jury will have an opportunity to decide whether Sipel is a really vital factor or merely a pig raising farmer, who has had business dealings with Mrs. Jane Gibson, the star witness, and has talked about them. Sipel advoided detectives and reporters alike todry. He went out into the country' in his machine before daylight and was still there when tho sun set. The jury heard 18 witnesses, none of whom had any really important story to give. Th'ey heard doctors tell how Mrs. Mills' throat was cut and that the body of Mr. Hall was disinterred for an autopsy.

GREECE EXPECTED TO OPPOSE PLANS F 0 R PLEBISCITE To Combat Any Turkish Proposal for So Deciding Western Thrace Issue. LAUSANNE, Nov. :i. (Ry A.r.) It Is learned that Greece probably will vigorously opposo any Turkish proposal at th Near East conference here to hold a plebiscite in western Thrace to decide the future j of that territory and will combat any cia;m ot Turkey for indemnity or reparations growing out of tho recent hostilities. Negotiations aro under way between Greece, Jugoslavia and Rumania to defend their common interest i in connection with the return of the Turks to Europe under the belief that this may constitute a menace to them Jn tho future. Opposition to the western Thrac plebiscite is based on the contention that the Iausanne conference was not summoned to revise all past treaties affecting Ralkan territories, but merely to revise the treaty of Sevres. Greece oiiicially regards the recent war in Asia Minor as a continuation of tho Great war, in which Turkey, as the ally of Germany was an agcressor and considers that any Turkish claims for reparation are inaeoeptahlo and ill-founded. There is a tendency In Greek circles to consider that the vital issues at Lausanne will he between Turkey and th great powers, as Greece already paid the penalty by being forced out 0f Asia Minor and by losing eastern Thrace Greece will also resist Italian denunciation of the treaty, whereby Italy agreed to cede the Dodecanese islands to Greece. Adv!se from Athens show existenre of apprehension there that the alleged Italian demand for greater extension of Italian rights in the Mediterranean may be at the expense of the Gr'k nation. Another source of the greatest anxiety to the Greks is the future safety and prosperity of Greek residents of Constantinople for which adequate guarantees will he asked at Iausanne.
