They are built around seven pitheads and are ihus provided each day with suffi- ri.nt coal to supply the entire works with motive power. The French occupation has not y. t interfered with us” is the opinion expressed at tho Thyssen plants. “As a matter of fact It has helped us. We were having a lot o£ trouble with the Com- munist element among our work ers. but the French occupation and the arrest of Fritz Thyssen lined th* m un solid behind us.” Many industries in the Ruhr are in a similar situation, mining their •■oal within a few hundred yards nf the works.

The Chief walked up to Mrs. Smith Monday said “goodbye” and then fired three shots at himself. The first two went wild, throwing th.e stores customers into confusi on but the third lodged in his heart. A number of notes to “My In dian Moon” were found in his lodging house. One said: “Man was made to take care of woman. Woman was made to drink bum booze and raise the devil.” There also was found a medal struck off for officers and men of the steamship Baltic, Florida, and Republic, after the sinking of the Republic, and the rescue of 1,500 survivors in 1909. The Chief had been employed in the wireless room on the Florida. Mrs. Smith who has been sep arated from her husband, said: “I met the Chief about January He kidded all of us girls. 1 liked him pretty well at first but it was nothing serious, you under stand. After the first two or three weeks, it was more of a kidding affair than anything else. I nev er thought he would take it seri ously.” The investigations were begun by the government in 1921 and later were conducted by the spe cial grand jury; Two indictments were returned, both covering identical charges and accusing the same person. One indictment charges a con spiracy- to defraud the United States and the other a conspir acy to commit an offense against the United States by defrauding the United States shipping hoard. The indictments involve con tracts, between . the emergency corporation. and the Groton Iron (Turn to Page Eight). * H READY TO GREET SOLDIERS F! Snow. S. C. Escapes Se vere Cold.

Turkish delegation to the Near East conference said Tuesday that Turkey and the powers had reach ed an accord on the jurl&dicial capitulations but that there were scill important financial matters on which an agreement had not been affected. The >Turks announced that they would leave for Angora at six o’clock Wednesday morning. They said that offers had been. made, to eliminate from the treaty the economic clauses to which they had objected, leaving such ques tions to further negotiations. Riza Nur said Turkey believed the objectionable clauses could be eliminated or revised. The indi cations are that the Turks by fur ther procrastination, seek her con cessions from the Allies and that the ultimate fate of the Lausanne treaty rests not here but in. t)ie hands of the governments in Lon don, Paris and Rome.
