Thel smuggling ramifications, K is de-; ,*elarc*d, extend to the capital: "of Europe and involve Greeks, Span iards. Poles. Roumanians.^ Russians; and Chinese.

The names used by the schooners an< power launches, it is declared, ar^ inscribed on plates readily remov able and some vessels are said to carry several name plates.

Probably no less than four or five vessels with aliens and contraband goodsr cross from Ma-' tanzas to the..United States eaci week, the report states. In Ha buna, according to the re ports., hundreds of aliens throng . Central park in the afternoon and at night, and constantly a dozen or more men. obviously not of the floating alien type, operate among them, going from group to group. These men, it is explained, are .

There are at pres ent it is estimated approximately 3?.u<?0 Chinese ab?::e in Cuba for whom there is no employment. In fact, - the report avers, the 'orientals, will not accept work un der any circumstances except to ?-arn sufficient money with which to pay passage to this country or Mexico. The usual fee charges for smuggling aliens, it is learned, ranges from. $,">00 to $1.0on for each Chinese and about $150 for an European alien. Many of the "master smuggler-" in Habana conduct shops a* "blinds," the report discloses, and conduct their illegal operations "on the quet." One of the favorite routes of.the smugglers, it is learn ed is from Ha ban* to Long Key, thence up the coast past Turkey Point to Miami, through Hone Sound, past Palm Reach then through, the "inner waterway*- and finally into St. John River. Aliens and liquor are unloaded at various points en route. Launches are used ha\ing a speed ranging from 2 5 to 25 mile? an- hour, it is said, and carry up to 40 aliens.

Chief Barwick Arrests Young White Man at Request of Rich land County Officer Collie Hinson, a young white man about; twenty-three years old, was arrested at his home on Coun | c? street Tuesday afternoon at th j request of Chief J. D. Dunnaway I of the Richland county rural po lice, who called up Chief J. M. I Barwick and asked that Hinson be j locked up, and, if found, he be held [ for the Richland couny authori [ ties. Within a few minutes Hia :aon was found, arrested, comm.i [ ted to the guard house and Chief Dunnaway notified. Hinson is charged with being- an accessory to the murder near Columbia of C. R. Cannon, a negro taxi driver, on the night of March 21st. 1921. Two Other white men. Robens and Cooper ?have already been arrest ed and are now being held in the Richland county jail for complic ity in. the murder of Cannon. Hin son was . implicated by the con fessions^ made by Roberts And Cooper. Chief ?>unnaway came over from Columbia on the morning train and returned on the li o'clock train, taking Hinson with him. Hinson denied any connec tion with the murder of Cannon, but admitted that he hired a taxi night of the .murder to take h'-hi from a place he spent the evening to.his home, and that just as^h* got into the car Roberts came x:\. and. got in with him and rode to Hinson's .stopping place. On th way Roberts proposed that they rob the "d?n. nigger." He says that he refused to have anything to do with the proposed holdup, i When he. reached . his boarding i house he got out of the car, pai.i j^the driver 35 cents, went' into the t house, went to bed and did not see Roberts agaihT? 'H** admits that he heard of the. murder of a taxi driver the same night, hut thought nothing of it. .as he did not know the negro who drove him home and did not know that he was the man who was killed. He admits that be knew Roberts, but denies that, he, knew that Roberts was suspected of the crime. Chief-Dunnaway is of the opin ion that -Hinson-knows a' great deal more: about the crime than he has. yet- adpiitted. as one of the other suspects told him that Hevs-va knew, all about it and could tell all the details. .Roberts, Cooper and Hinson will be subjected to a rigid examination by the Richland coun ty officers and the truth will be' brought to light.

I Official reports from Japanese ! sources make it evident that the j Soviet representatives were, willing j to make almost any concession to j this end. These Japanese reports J state the negotiations were char iacterized by-an entire lack of sin j cerity on the part of M. J. Joffe, ithe head of the Moscow delega |tion, and his colleagues, j From the beginning-#the Japa j nese consented to the admission of Ithe Moscow delegatesireluctantly, the negotiations, it is stated, hav ing been intended to establish bus iness relations only with-the Far Eastern republic, though it was the conviction of the Japanese that the Chita government was doini j nated by Moscow. M. Joffe and his ^colleagues, though really agents of j the Moscow government, it is j said, gained entry , into the nego tiations by being given credentials i to represent the Chita governmen'. j ., At the outset ?he Japanese im [poted the condition that, the scope jof the negotiations and treaty that j might result . should, be con ' fined closely to eastern Siberia. Yet ' in the consideration of the. first* se * ! tion of .the draft treaty, which deals {with/propaganda and hostilities, I Soviet repre^entativ.eis, it is said, j tried to haye ii admitted that tiie t undemanding xm \those points j should apply to--?ff Russia. Re/us? j ed "by the. Japans*,* .. fhe attempt was renewed again and again ip. connection with sections dealing with the protection of the lives I and property of Japanese in Si Lberia and 'Far. Eastern citizens i.? Japan and Korea. The Japanese government re if used to enlarge the scope of the treaty, holding that it must stand jby the position taken by the Unit ed States government in declining j to recognize the Koviet government j under existing conditions. . It did, I however, inform. M. Joffe that it j would be willing to undertake con sultations regarding the reestab jlishment of business relations with ?European Russia, but"only after the j negotiations respecting the Far i Eastern republic and Eastern Si Jberia were satisfactorily conclud jed by treaty. j It was. at this point, according, to (the -rep orts,- that J one f ai 1 ing " to obtain political - recognition of the (Soviets introduced a demand for the I immediate withdrawal of alj Japa ! nese troops, not only from Siberia [but from the upper*half of the is j land of Saghaliep. T*"* Japanese j contended that this subject was j not within the scope of their pow i ers. nor of the agenda for the con I ference. and declined to entertain ?the demand, though professing a j willingness to hove it considered j later as a separate proposition. This brought the conference to Jan impasse, according to Japanese reports. In a statement tonight Boris E. j.Skvirsky, acting chairman of the j special trade delegation of the I Near Eastern republic to the Unit ed States, declared that "The sit uation in the Far East is far from j being hopeful." . . r "The Japanese," he said, are re j fusing to evacuate Saghalien under j the pretext that they can not do jso until they receive compensa tion for the socaUed Xikolaievsk events during which several hun dred Japanese and several thou sand Russians lost their lives. The positions assumed by the ?Japanese in regard to the evacua tion of Saghalien seriously endang jers the pence in the Far East. The i Russian people who have been lighting four years in defense of their territory and their rights and who shed a great deal of Moon ,nnd made great sacrifices can not j give its consent to the forcible j seizure of the territory under any j pretext whatsoever by the Japa ! nese. j "The Russian people of the Far East appiveiate highly the friendly position of the American govern j merit and hope the forcible seizure jof Saghalien by. the Japanese will not be permitted.

Sept. 27 (By" the Asso-j eiated Press?).?A Greek revolution; has been added to the ever deep-! eking tfear East difficulty and the J allies are now faced with a more; complex situation than ever. An j impromptu cabinet meeting tonight j found the ministers in a very pessimistic mood, the only com forting aspect of the critical posi tion being that no collision has as yet occurred between the British and Turks in the Chanak zone. In other respects the situation! contains every element of danger, j The Kemalists, who. are on both! flanks of the British at Chanak. ap- j parently refuse to budge and even j decline to recognize the existence j of a neutral zone. After the cabinet council tonight, I the proposed peace conference was described as "not on the horizon at present." Yet jmtil the confer-i ence materializes, every one here j says that the danger is extremely: grave. Both British and Turks are j hastening the concentration of their j forces and th' British public is ap- ! prehensive that any moment might j bring about 'an unfortunate inci dent, setting the opposing forces in action.. The people ar.e anxiously asking how the disappearance of King Constantine and the new situation in Greece will a/feet the question of eastern Thrace, required by the allies and insisted upon by Kemal I Pasha, as a preliminary to any j peace conference.- From the con- j fused and ; conflicting accounts, reaching^ here...from Athens; 'this! is a matter ?f.ettreme. nncertaihty. The ? revolutions >eems to have taken two different lines, one de manding the defense of. Thrace! and the other asking, .for the for-! mation: of a; pro-entente' govern?, ment. It is also';.;, reported, that Gener.aif:PapquJas.-.the new" "mi!!' tary.jgovejmjpr^oj' Thrace, has gone to' the iJe^?I?rf?l?TK^^ in the, Laurium region to consul: wirh threaders ?f'the coup. ?

That the British government is adhering to ^its~ policy of, returning eastern Thrace to the. Turks isj demonstrated by the fact thatj Greek transports have been for- \ bidden to use the straits from to-| day. It was supposed that thej Greeks themselves had withdrawn^ from the crUirer Averoff in re-j sponse to the allied tequest. but| a late despatch reports that the crew of the .Averoff, mutinied and sailed for Constantinople without their commander. The Associated Press correspond ent at Constantinople learns that the Kemalists are willing to ac-1 cept the principle of neutrality ofj the straitM pending the armistice} Conference, which General Haring-! ton proposed should be held at I Mudania or Ismid. Apparently] therefore Kemal Pasha is ready] to participate in such a. confer- j ence. and thjs Implies that the posi-j tion is much eased. General Harington continues to j act with the utmost prudence and j moderation. He prevented an im-j minent collision of the opposing; forces in the Chanak area by a j wireless order to General Shuttle-j worth to suspend an attack and ac-! cording to information available) here the government has given him complete freedom of discre-' :ion regarding a time limit, he: clearly does not desire to press! matters. M. Franltliri-Boullon. the French envoy, is expected to reach Symrnai tomorrow morning and it is believ-j ed until he has seen Kemal therei will be. no military move of im-1 portance. Unofficial reports as sert that Kemal will declare the al-! lied conditions for a peace cor?- j fei ence unacceptable and insist up-! on the use of the straits for the; transport of his troops to Thrace ? before consenting to. enter isuch a j conference, Both British aqd Turks are con centrating large forces on the Ismid and Chanak lines. The British fleet on the spot now consists of rix dreadnaughts. seven battle cruisers and 20 destroyers, while j land forces, which are continual ly being increased. already amount to :)a,000 men. The fire department was called out at last night by the 6-2-2 alarm and within a few minutes a big crowd had gathered on Liberty j street in expectation of witnessing i fi tire in the business district. ' The j alarm was caused by the hurning out of a flue of the restaurant in i the Andrews building . on West ; Liberty street. There was no fire, no damage and the crowd quickly dispersed. ' THE TRUE SOL1 DANGER OF WAR GROWS MORE ACUTE if Turks Enter Neutral Zone and Begin to Entrench ? British Send ?ltimatum London. Sent. 26 (By the Asso ciated Press).?Anxiety is renewed owing: to the evident reluctance of the Kemalist officers to order the withdrawal of the Turkish cavalry from the Chanak zone in the Dar danelles. Instead of withdrawing another detachment numbering 1.000 has crossed the border from BIgha. It is stated in extenuation of these movements that they were ordered before receipt of the allied joint' note, and the British authori ties, therefore, are making every prudent allowance for the difficul ties of communication and the pos sibility that Mustapha Kemal is not directly responsible for the re fustfl of the local, commanders to or der retirement. General Haring ton, British commander of the al lied forces in Constantinople, has stipulated a time limit of 4$ hours for withdrawal. of the, Turks, but considerately allows the period to date from the time of the" receipt of his wireless despatch. His ulti matum, therefore, is somewhat elastic? The British military authorities, while thus doing tneir utmost to avoid precipitating trouble, do. ndfc conceal that the situation entails much danger. The Kema lists ap parently contend that the British and allied governments should cease military preparations during ,the sittings of. the proposed ;peace, conference or, conversely, that the Kemalists should be permitted to continue troop movements during the progress of the..-negotiations, and, although it- is-; yerygenerally believed that Keuial is not desir ous of provoking a conflict, appre hensions will continue until the ih vading cavalry retires. . No. formal cabinet councils are being held here.'but the ministers and defense experts are" meeting daily at the colonial office,"dealing with . military : questions .and ar rangements for removing reifugeee from Snryrna. .." Until Kerual's reply is received there will .be no diminution in .the war preparations, -and, -as, accord ing fto . .Kemal's aide, ; Hssad Bey, the Angora "government will insist upon the admission of B.ussia, Persia and Bulgaria to the con ference, there will be many dif ficulties to overcome before the conference actually meets. ' It is thought the British govern ment is less averse to Russia par ticipating than are the French, but the British contention at the first place would be that the conference is- limited to the same nations as were concerned in making the Sevres treaty, and consequently Russia should be excluded. The Russian Soviet government, however, has addressed another note to the powers, putting forward a strong plea for the inclusion ot Russia, Bulgaria and other inter ested nations in any settlement of the Turkish question, and refusing to recognize any settlement unless Russia is u party thereto. Little is known here of the atti tude of Greece in Thrace. Rumors are published to the effect that the Greek army in Thrace is no more reliable than" it was in the Smyrna region. Nevertheless, the Kemal ists are objecting to Greek mili tary naval movements, arguing that such movements justify the Kemal ists in continuing their military operations regardless of the con ference . or negotiations and until the proposed armistice conference at Mudenia has settled the terms, these matters will continue to be a disturbing facto*'. Reports through Paris tonight show that the ministerial crisis at Athens has already begun. The Greek government's refusal to countenance a national ministry, including Venizelos. having resulted in the resignation of one minister and others are expected to follow. British reinforcements were dis embarked at Canak today and fur ther naval units are proceeding to Constantinople. The home govern ment has requisitioned the liners Manors and Corsican, both of the British registry, as troop ships, an 1 they will leave in a few days for the Near Bast. One eft'eet of the crisis will like ly be the disappearance of the Sul tan and the Constantinople gov ernment. Mustapha Kemal will probably become grand vizier'of the united Turkish administration. Constantinople. Sept. 20? (By the Associated Pres?).?The British general. Sir Charles llarington, commander-in-chief of the allied forces here, has ordered the Turks out of the neutral zone arou.al the Dardanelles.
