The deficiency appropriation bill to- night was the only important bill on Re- publican leaders' program for passage .'. before adjournment. This bill was pass ed by the senate and after the conferees report tomorrow the" adjournment guvels are due to fall.

They headed off for several hours n 'speech by Senator Shortridge, of Cali fornia, in favor of the Dyer measure, 'Senator Harrison, Mississippi,' finally winning tho floor for a long speech ovei the jirotests of Senator Shortridge aud u dozen other Republicans. Calls for a quorum, roll calls, reading of the steno graphic record and numerous points of order figured in the maze which blocked Senator Shortridge ' address and caused him to inquire whether "this is a senate or an arena." Senators and crowded galleries burst into unrestrained laughter frequently during the. .mix-up.. Senator Shortridge later discussed the lynching 'bill briefly and moved that it supplant the Liberian loan measure, but ' this udion went over. Senator Harrison flayed the record of Congress, declaring the l'resident 's veto of the soldiers' adjusted compensation bill preceded today "s ceremony of the signing of the tariff bill which the Mis sissippi 'seuat or dubbed "the profiteers' adjusted romjieusation bill.' Numerous speeches on political and other subjects were in prospect for both senate and house at final sessions tomor row. Senator Harrison hiter referred to the merchant marine legislation as the "ship ping trust adjusted compensation' bill" and said he assumed the time previous to tho adjournment was too short for . the Republicans to finish other "adjust ed compensation" measures.

' CONSTNTINOPLE, Sept. 22. , 12:45 p. m. (By The Associated Press.) Turkish Nationalists" forces have seized the town of .Et Ine, on the Asiatic side of the Dar danelles and are threatening Kura Kale; an important key position to the southern aide of the straits. The Kemalisti were nowhere opposed. The nationalist move, in the opinion of the, naval experts here, will enable the Turks to prevent free ingress to the Dardanelles to the British Atlantic fleet units, which .are on their way from Malta. The important positions involved were prior to today occupied by the French and Italians and from them the heavy Turkish batteries can command the entrance to the straits. ATHENS, Sept. 22. (By The As sociated Press.) - Greece will never permit the Turks to invade Thrace, which she considers part of her home land and retention of which is ''an es sential preliminary cl edition to any peace conference." This declaration was made in statement to The A. ated Press by the Greek foreign office today. ""We have lost Asia Minor, but we must keep Thrace," said the statement. "That is an essential .preliminary con dition to any peact conference. Our army in Asia Minor, which had fighting for. ten years, was absolutely exhausted, but the Greek nation will never ermit the Turks to invade Thrace, which we consider home territory. "We have demobilized the (military) classes of 1912 to 191 8. but the classes from 1919. to 192.'! we are keeping on a war- footing, making a total army of 150,000 men available for Thrace should the allies permit the Turks to cross to Constantinople. . "Unhappily we lack ammunition, ar tillery and general equipment, but hope our friends will help us in our efforts to keep th Turks out of Kurope and that the English fleet will aid us in prevent ing' the Trks from crossing the straits. "The tmyrn:i massacre speaks for itself. Greece, is defending Christian civilization. i,. "Internally Greec is quiet. There M absolutely no danger of a revolution. Foreign reports of troubles are the out growth of the insistence of our troo:S that they Is? returned to Piraeus inste-jd of being demobilized on the islands. But these wearied men had no revolutionary designs; they only wanted to go homo. We found that out when we sent our Athens army as a precaution to Pireaus. "Pmmediately some of th? returned soldiers' exclaimed sadly: 'What, are you treating us, wearied patriots, as enemies? ' "Our king remains because the people neod him and waut bim.

CONSTANTINOPLE, , ept. 22. , (By Tho Associated Press.) A pessl mistie view of the present situation is -taken in Turkish Nationalist circles Ivere. It was declared yesterday that unless the Kemalists received assurances and guar antees from the Allies within 43 hours that the nuestion of tho disposition of Thnree would lo settled in favor of .'the Turks, a serious situation would arise ami' it .would, bo impossible to restrain the forward march of their army'. ". : At the sumo time, however, it was stated that, the Angora government would agree to. negotiations, and sus pend the movement of its trops provid ed the European powers furnished seri ous guarantees as to Thrace. Respect for" the neutrality of th straits and tbe xone in the Constanti nople sector occupied by the Allied forces depends, it is declared, on the reply to These demands. . enetal Pelle, the French commissioner here, returned yesterday from his mis sion to Smyrna. It is understood he had little success in his attempt" t61ersuadt Mustapha Kemal Pasha of the inexpedi ency of crossing the straits and occup ing Thrace. It is believed Kemal point ed out that observance of the neutrality of the, straits by the nationalists could be predicated only upon udequate guar antees from the Allies that Tharce would be restored to Turkey. The question of Constantinople was not discussed at tne conference as the Allies were understood to have settled that issue in favor of the Turks at the conferences in London and Paris last spring.' . The British forces are working day andnight digging trenches at Chanak, Beikos and other vital' points in the. Asiatic area. Additional British troops have arrived in the Bosphorus. . LONDON, Sept. 22. (By The Asso ciated Press.) 'Views" of the Ncai Eastern here oscillate between hope and fear with n slight tendency in favor oi the hopeful side of the balance, nothing has happened in the last twcnty-foui hours to make the 'position materially worse, although it continues serious enough. The immediate peril is in the possibility that the Turkish Nationalist troops will attack the British positions along the Dardanelles, but notwithstand ing continued reports of their energetic military prcpa rat ions, this fear has not yet materialized. It is confidently hoped that resumption of the conversations of the allied states men in Pans today will lead to the signing of an invitation to the Angora government, probably tomorrow to par ticipate iu a general conference to settle the Dardanelles question and the Turkish claims. Until such an invita tion has lien sent and accepted the an xiety must continue. Through General Pelle, its'high commissioner in Constan tinople, the French government is . re ported to have informally communicated to Mustapha Kemal Pasha the Turkish Nationalist leader the hope that lie will be the delegate from Angora to the conference if such a meeting is arranged. Meanwhile Mustapha Kemal is confer ring with the Angora cabinet in Smyrna and the result of their deliberations is awaited here as eagerly as the outcome of the Paris discussions. - A telegram received this morning by Mrs. H. M. Van Sleen stated that ber' father, Mr. JohnH. Adams, un derwent an operation at the Maj'o Brothers hospital in Rochester, Minn'., Thursday and was getting along as well as could be expected. Mr. Adams' jnanv friends will hope for him a speedy recovery. AND LEADER KEMAL -3 LA CK1 SEA : TURKS j JS mil s reoM 3agoai . ANGORA . WAIL tHAO ruvxirtC wric'HAiisn BIG CIRCUS CROWDS ARE .

And in between came all the highly decorated and ornate auiinal cages, just enough of them' with the. sides removed 'to give glimpse of lithe furry bodies' moving restlessly to aud fro to excite the desire to know what the others contained. In their proier places and with ma jestic stride and ponderous dignity came the elephants, in strange contrast with the half frightened horses by their sides, and the ambling camels be hind. Ou the different wagons and chariots the different performers in all their gayest regalia, rode in superb in difference to the common herd come out to gaze upon them. The splendid dapple gray horses drawing the wagons minced proudly along, conscious of the showing they made . in shining leather and gleaming brass and cold. The four bands were stationed at the proper dis tances aprt to produce a continuous fanfare without interference, music full of life and lilt aud pep, and the scores of funny clowns gate animation to the' briskly moving procession. Ingenuity and variety distinguish tho circus program. There are wonderful trained wild animal acts upon which primarily the fame of the show was founded; lieautiful equestriennes .in swagger raiment, making an effective omature aud adding just the whiff of that je ne sais quoi that denotes indi viduality; wonderful acrobatic groups tumbling in the different arenas liko a cascade. It is hard to catch the breath Tn frying to get the details. Numerous aerial stars, keep the lofty canvas dome alive with activity, and there is a corps of fun makers, clowns galore, whose tole mission is to entertain. Among the many circus celebrities with the show this season!, is the Dav enport Troupe of equestriennes, John Helliott, iu a series of groups of wild animal acts, the Wallace troupe of high school iierforming horses, among whom i tare Porter, thew orld's highest jumping horse, and Maid of the Mist, a riderless horse who jumps for the fun of it.

Wilkernon', in the preparation of his ruling on the gov ernment's strike injunction,, was with out any suggestions today from Attor ney General Dnugherty for modification of the restraining order issued Septem ber 1. , The only features of the attorney general's bill interpreted as in any way mollifying the order now in effect lay in clauses clarifying tho phraseology of original passages, and iu the following provision : "Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit tho use of fumls or moneys of any said labor organiza tions for any lawful purpose, and noth ing contained iu this order shall be construed to prohibit the expression of any opinion or argument not intended to aid or ecournge tho doing of .any of the acts heretofore enjoined, ; and not cuicuiaieu io maintain or prolong a con spiracy to restrain interstate commerce or the transportation of the mails. " ' Mr. Dnugherty, at the close of the hearing, personally explained the gov ernment 'a position. "This order," ho said,, "speaks the last word for the government and for society and for civilization; for peace nnd fairness, for liberty and protec tion, with firmness and, if necessary, with force. " Declaring it tho duty of tho govern ment to compel tho railroads to furnish transportation, lie asserted also that it is the obligation of. the government to step in and prevent interference w ith transportation.' . . , Jr'ntil he makes his; ruling the re straining order issued September 1 ami extended for-a second ten day period, remains in effect, Judge Wilkerson an nounced. Meanwhile nineteen railways and their sulwudiaries had made eaee with their striking shopmen on the basis of the Baltimore terms, according to an offi cial announcement by John Kcott, secre tary of the shop crafts' organization. Af the same time many other roads continued, to hold aloof from tho settle ment plan and operated their shops in dependent of any negotiations with of ficials of. the striking unions. Roads which have declined to settle must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a lockout, a bulletin issued at strike headquarter asserted. The return of strikers to shops of the Southern Railway at Costlier, Tenu., was marked by the worst outbreaks of the strike period when non-union work men were driven off after a fight in which 14 men were injured. The Southern .was one of the roads whirl. accepted the Baltimore terms. A bomb explosion iu the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy roundhouse at Kansas City marked the first disorder iu these tdrops during the strike.

Attorneys for the Southern Rail way in Knoxville today were mak ing an investigation ot a fight which marked the return of strikers there yesterday. Fourteen meu received minor injuries and tho non-union men were driven from the shops be-, fore armed guards quelled the dis turbance. In Atlanta, Macon and several other Southern cities, both Seaboard Air Liue and Southern Railway striking shopmen refused .to return uutil they were assured they -would not be compelled to work with, the; new employes. This demand was met by the railroads in placing the hostile factions in separate shifts. But even under this urraugeuient new shopmen are quitting their posts. The situation in Birmingham, Where it was necessary to rush Btato guarsmen and deputy sheriffs to I Alabama Great Southern shops to prevent a threatened battle, was re ported improved.
