Many Rumors Circu-J lated But No Facts; Developed. Indica ting Hope' of Settle ment Washington. Dec. 22 (By the Associated Press).?The situation relative to extension of American aid toward, an European repara tions settlement continued , today to present , a badly beclouded pic-, ture, on which little- ?ght was^ thrown from any quarllr. j American officials reiterated : their denials of government back ; ing at the present stage for the" j American Com mission plan spon^ j sored by commercial leaders, and ; of ^various, published statements re garding the direction; in which. American official opinion was tend in^. ; But .there was no clear-cut ' de nial that high officials in Wash ington? had discussed the commis sion's 'proposal among themselves and with, others, and ho one at tempted -to give the impression that the United States govern ment would be displeased should "the discussions now_ in progress re sult in an agreement. Xeither did any official come for ward to explain the true character j Lot the mysterious movings behind J the scenes of world diplomacy t? \ which allusion has been made re peatedly in official outgivings both in Washington and in ther capitals of Europe. In ail of their negative comment on the subject, state department authorities seemed most anxious t? jdeny that the government itself, 1 despite, the close touch it is maih j taining with the situation,' was In I any way a party at present Ume to j the plan for a survey commission^ i suggested first in this country by officials of the chamber of com merce of the United States. It was said flatly that the American gov ernment, at the present stage -tlf the discussions", has ho "connectics with the commission plan," "which contemplates creation of a body of experts to inquire into the ability of Germany to pay reparations. * Furtherrnore "one official indicat* ed that if the commission plan ever came to the point where a proposal for its acceptance could be made through diplomatic channels, the UPited States would not be the proper power to make that pro posal. It was pointed out that treaty rights are involved in ' the reparations difference, and that no formal offer to mediate would be in place from any go^rnment except pa "the solicitation of the govern ments involved in the controversy-. As the commission plan now* is explained here, the commission would he a wholly unofficial body so far as the Washington gov ernment is concerned, and would have to do only with reporting its findings as to Germany's eco nomic ability to pay. What actual figure would be fixed on a repara tions total would of course be a mauer that the allied govern ments must decide for themselves. J But with the economic report on ? Germany available, known to rep-; j resent *he views of industrial ex-1 ! perts without any national bias; it has been the hope of sponsors of J the American commission plan that J there could be an agreement as to j ! the amount and form of German } payments which would finally set tle the question. The only inkling as to the hopes of the American government in' its j efforts to find a way to a repara tions settlement was a prediction made today that if it ever .became ; passible to announce any official I plan, it would be- found tc 'he a ?very practical proposal, lacking in i any sensational quality. Anything ! that is being done officially in the ?way of getting a clear understand ! ing of governmental attitudes I abroad, it was indicated, was aim-j j ed at such a conception of the j j problem to be solved. New York, Dec. 22.?In messages j to President . B:u*ding, Secretary j j Hughes and Julius H Barnes, pres ident of the United States chara- j j ber of commerce, "strong approval j ,of the present movement to offer |.American aid in the solution of ! the underlying economic problems ! of Europe," was expressed today .: by the National Association of j Credit Men. The imss&ge to the . president j ] said: . j ; "Heartiest congratulations on the j i leadership you are supplying to the j movement which will enable compe- j 'tent American business men to aid I j in the solution of the reparations ' * problem." And "no real prosperity can come ] j to this country until fundamental) economic difficulties in Europe I have been removed." To Mr. Hughes the association ] said: "When this is disposed of the i world will be a long way on the j j road toward normal economic con j ditions." j Mr. Barnes was lauded for "the I initiative you are taking in the pro- j J ject," the message continuing, I j "the chamber (United ? States I i chamber of commerce) could not | j set its strong hand to a larger or j 1 more appropriate task." After landing a job the first j thing some men think about is j getting business cards printed. Frank Chance will manage the Boston Red Sox next year, giving this team at least one chance. The U. S. S. Pittsburg has gone to Constantinople and may smoke cut or outsmoke a few Turks. Friday's Session o Lausanne P ? a e e Goiiference W a s Debate Lausanne, Dec. 22 iBy the .As sociated i^ress).--Christmas threat ens to be a stormy time at the Lausanne Near East conference. Thursday was a bad day; today was worse. A temper . which... did not seem to harmonize with .the usual spirit, of the-Yuletide pervaded to day's session of the subcomirnssion on minorities. Efforts were made to get Dr. Riza Nur Bey. the second Turkish delegate who formerly was accred ited by the Angora, .government to represent' It" at Moscow, to agree to the exemption of the Christian mi norities in Turkey from the mih-. tary serrice. But he refused flatlyj and seemingly-.sullenly. He ;de-| clined to give any reason; for ? this declination and several . others equally as. flat. j M. Laroche of the French dele gation made an appeal to Riza Nur Bey oh military exemption, saying "Come on; make the allies a 'lit tle Christmas present on this point." The Turkish delegate, however, retorted angrily, ' ,cWe don't believe in Christmas " pres ents." ? Riza, Nur Bey also refused to agree to a provision for the pres ervation of - Christian cemeteries in Turkey. -This caused much sur prise-among the other representa tives, as the -Tu*ks '??Ordinarily are extre^nely carefulto protect all cemeteries. ; The allies insisted upon consid eration of-tha clause providing that the "Turks "must "respect .the -work done under the league of nations; in recovering and restoring totheir families Christian women and chil dren who,.were seized: and. Islamiz ed- by the Turks before close of the world war. The Turk also de clined to agree to ;this- provision, and the subcommission, ended ;the session seemingly with a feeling cf: utter disgust at the attitude of - RizaL Nur' Bey? which several members of the subcommission described a3s ?^highly insolent;" The Turkish delegation has re ceived instructions - from Angora that no ^agreements are to be made at Lausanne on; economic questions Which are to lie over for negotia tion at some later time. This has created, dissatisfaction among the allies, especially the French,, -who are anxious that eco nomic questions should be settled at this conference. Control of the straits still is being - considered in pri vate: sessions. LoroV Curzoh, Mr. BarrereSignor Di Garroni. and Ismet Pasha were in conference on this subject yesterday and again today. The representatives of three great powers have made." it clear to Ismet that if they give the special guarantees Turkey seeks: to protect Constantinople from' - at tack, Turkey in turn must give the allies jurisdiction over the straits and the entire demilitarized zone. Ismet has this under con sideration. 1 The intransigeant position of the Turks on capitulations, straits con trol and the rights of minorities is generally regarded by Vibe allied delegates as beinjg due, at least in part, to their desire to hold as many questions as possible in re serve for the purpose of future trading and that they may yield many moot questions if they are able to get strong guarantees which ,will prevent the invasion of Turkey The outlook for "a .satisfactory outcome, however, is far from bright. The prominent delegates are so uneasy about the situation that few of them are planning to leave. Lausanne for the Christmas tide. Meetings will be held again tomorrow but Christmas day will be a holiday and the sessions will resume next Tuesday. Rear Admiral Bristol of the American delegation left for Paris today, but Ambassador Child and Joseph C. Grew will remain in Switzerland for Christmas. GOVERNOR ^HARVEY ILjL Suffering From an Attack of Influenza Columbia,* Dec. 22.?Governor Harvey was directed today by his physicians to stay at home in bed. He is suffering from an attack of influenza, in which symptoms of pneumonia appear. Governor Harvey was directed to take, to his bed Wednesday, but he continued to work until last night, taking, the position that he should remain in* his office as long as he possibly could, particularly as the Jeffords execution matter was be fore him constantly. He has not been able to speak above a whisper for the past few days, and his friends have cautioned him that he was hazarding his health by re maining "on the job." His physicians think that, with can*, his illness will be short-lived, provided no further complications arise. The Governor is directing the work of his office from his sick bed. He has had his secretary send him voluminous reports' and cor respondence, and is personally di recting the details of the; executive office. Turkey says she will grant no divorces to foreigners.

(FINANCE -;; -y;.'-- < ? - (^aii-man 'tisM&e o? Board of Health Says Proposed Sum ter Ordinance Will Avoid Mistake =of Charles ton Ordinance Editor of'The S?mter Daily Item: . . Your issue or December 21st, carried a report of Judge Mem mingers' order sustaining, the. ap peal taken by Jake E. Bell from a conviction in the Recorder's Court of the City of Charleston for the violation of. section .4. of the "Meat Ordinance" of that city. Your re port was printed under the follow ing head line: ^M?EAT ORDINANCE IS RCLED INVAJuTOJ City's Law in Conflict With the Constitution of the State Of South Carolina, Says Judge Memniinger". From comments heard Upon the street today it is obvious that the use of the head line just quoted J in conjunction with expressions con tained in a paragraph which ap peared in your "Local Items" col umn under date of Decejnber 20th, has,'\:ery naturally, created a gen eral impression to the effect that the courts of the state have de clared invalid the vital provisions of an ordinance similar to that pro posed to be enacted for the City of Sumtes in connection with the establishment of the municipal ab battoir, and that the City of Sumter will, therefore,, find itself without power to prohibit the sale, or of fering for sale, within its limits of meat or meat products other than those obtained from animals Slaughtered in the city abba'ttoir or under conditions similar to those which will there exist. Such an impression 4 utterly at - 1 1 > : ? ..... variance .with the true facts. Even a hasty reading of Judge Memminger's .Order will make it plain that the conviction there ap pealed from was under a section of the ordinances of .the City of Charleston which attempted to pun ish by fine or imprisonment any person who should "have in his possession' within the City of Charleston" any meat procured from an animal not slaughtered in the City abbattoir or under certain approved conditions. The in dividual convicted had not sold, or .attempted to sell, any of the meat in. question. He merely had "had it'-in* his-possession within the City limits/' Judge Memminger's or der holds that to make such an act criminal violates the guarantees as to personal liberty and enjoy ment of property contained in the federal Constitution. The proposed' "Meat Ordinance" for the City of Sumter contains no provision which purports to make punishable the mere act of "having ih possession" meat from animals not slaughtered as therein 'pro vided. It does, however, under take .to forbid the sale, offering for sale, or having in possession with Intent to sell, Of any such meat within the City limits, judge Mem 'mlnger's order, so far from casting ?ny doubt upon the constitutfon :a$ity of such ah ordinance, clearly recognizes its validity.. ? In so do ing the >rder merely gives effect jtb aV long line of firmly established ?decisiohs. " 1 If you will be kind enough to give to this communication the same publicity which you accorded the report of . Judge Memminger's or :der in your issue of the 21st, it may. serve to save 'some . worthy citizen *firom later becoming guilty of a violation of the provisions of the hew ordinance under the totally erroneous impression that ? "the whole thing is no good anyway". Respectfully yours, H.. L. TISDALE, Chairman Board of Helath. CHICAGO V STATION DESTROYED ^ld Park Street Passenger :';;St#lon Burned Thursday. , .. Nigftt ;?? .

Hilo, second:fcky of the Hawaiian Islands, into the- haTbor of which tidal waves swept on .two occasions following the recent Chilean earth quakes, is the subject of the fol lowing bulletin from, the Washing ton, i>. C, headouarters of the National Geographic Society. "Situated oh land which rises to ward a wonderful background formed by JLhe highest ? island mountains in the world," says the bulletin, "Hilo is in -little danger] from ten or twelve foot tidal waves such as those which recently- bath ed its shores.. But because of its location on the southernmost island of the chain,-- facing eastward, it was in a most favorable position to observe the results of this ? mighty phenomenon .which raised the level of the earth's greatest ocean seem ingly as easily as a careless bather can splash water from his tub. . City in Beautiful Setting: ?-SHiloans claim that their, city is the most beautiful in the islands; and it would he difficult to find a more ideal setting. The shores of a broad .bay sweep away on both sides of .the town like the lines of an hyperbola. In the foreground as one approaches from .the sea is an idylie tropic islet that its -dis coverer might have been forgiven for naming 'Enchanted"* Isle/ but which in matter-of-fact English is called 'Coconut Island.' Back of' the city and' its bay fringed with tropical verdure rise tire highlands of the interior to their apex in Mauna Kea, often snow-capped, the highest of island peaks. To the right numerous-- streams rush to the sea, several of them leaping: down in graceful waterfalls. "One reason why Hiloans refus ed to become alarmed because of an unusual phenomenon in the sea is that they live next door# to two of the world's greatest land w;onders ? the active volcanoes. Kilaueau and Mauna Loa?and not only have not suffered from their nearness, but have profited great ly because their city is. the gate way through which thousands of. visitors pass to view these 'tame volcanoes.' An excellent automo bile highway leads from Hilo 'through, a majestic forest of tree ferns to a ? hotel on .the brink of Kilauea, about 30 miles away; and a supplemental road actually- des cends into the huge crater so that motor cars may be driven to the very brink of the bubbling lake of molten lava in the smaller, in terior crater.
