the switch ol Senator Watson, Gcor
Km. democrat, who previously voted
against it, tu the prohtmtis tide. The
absentees, however, were nearly a
numerous as Ihusc present today and
it wa pointed out that under pair
ing" arrangement already made it
was not likely that a two thirds vote
would be mustered to pass it over the
president 1 veto.
Senator McCumber, North iJa
kuta, chairman of the finance com
mittee and chief i-ponsor of the
bonus in the senate, appealed to all
friends of the bonus to be on hand
in case the president does veto the
measure. He declared that if all the
supporters of the bonus should stay
mi the job, there would be an e-xccl-tent
chance of passing it over the
president' veto. He pointed out
ilii the measure had passed both
house by more than a two-thirds
vole.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi,
licinocrat, asked Senator McCumber
point blank whether President Hard

Mi Cumber said he had no positive
information 011 that subject. He had

Drop Reclamation.
The vole on the conference report 1
was preceded by a long parliamen
tary wrangle over efforts to rescue
the McNary $350,000,000 reclamation
amendment which the conferees
eliminated. Senator Harrison made
a point of order that tlus conferees
had exceeded their authority when
they dropped the McNary amend
ment front the bill. Senator Cum
mins, Iowa, presiding officer, over
ruled the point of order and Senator
Harrison moved that the report be
returned to conference with instruc
tions to the conferees to restore the
McNary amendment.
Senator McCumber raised a point
of order against this motion. Sen
ator I.enroot, Wisconsin, republican,
argued vigorously against the mo
tion. Senator Cummins sustained
the point of order and Senator Har
lison appealed from the decision of
the chair. This led to several hours.'
debate, after which the senate upheld
Senator Cummins' ruling by a vote
of 33 to 21.

jiloynient ly Action of
Detroit Manufacturer.
Detroit, Sept. 15. Henry I ord late
today took steps to close hi Detroit
automobile plants, beginning tonight,
thereby throwing upward of 100,0KI
workmen in the Detroit district out of
employment for an indefinite period.
He asked officials of the rDln.it
treet railway to rearrange it, sched
ule to care for the night forres at his j
various factorirs, who will be dis
missed at 11, it was announced to-1
day.
Announcement 01 the intended clos
ing came from officials of the street
railway company. No official state
ment from Mr. Ford or his execu
tives was forthcoming late today, but
it was stated this morning at the
Ford offices that the manufacturer's
announcement several weeks ago that
he would close September 16 "would
stand" unless he altered his plans.
' bmaller Concerns Hit.
Simultaneously it was announced a
number of smaller manufacturing
concerns here that supply the Ford
plants with parts rnd accessories will
close. There companies employ up
wards of 30,000 men. The Ford '
worker to be thrown out of em
ployment total aproximatcly "0,000.
Mr. Ford announced several weeks
ago that he would close his Detroit
plants September 16 because of the
coal situation. He denied a real coal
shortage existed and charged certain
coal brokers were demanding an ex
orbitant price for fuel, lie said that
rather than pay these prices he
would close his plants for an indefi
nite period.
Ford Motor company foremen re
ceived instructions this afternoon to
advise all workers under their
charRK to "save their money and live
as economically as possible" during
the suspension. Many workers said
they took this to mean the closing!
might be protracted.
Outside Plants Affected. 1
Twenty-five thousand Ford em
ployes scattered throughout the
country outside of Detroit will be af
fected by the closing order, Mr. Ford
said in his first statement announc
ing the contemplated shutdown.
In addition there will be many
others, he said at that time, who will
be obliged to lay down their tools or
work but par time. These are work
ers emploved by concerns dependent
upon the Ford company for business.
Those directly and indirectly affect
ed by the closing are variously esti
mated by Ford officials to total "be
tween several hundred thousand and
2,000,000." The estimate was made
several weeks ago when the manu
facturer made his first announce
ment. Since his original statement an
nouncing his contemplated shutdown,
Mr. Ford repeatedly, in upplemcntal
stattcments and interviews, has
criticized government agancies for
the manner in which they have ap
portioned coal supplies. He also has
arraigned certain coal brokers whom
he asserts "are to blame for the coal
situation." He charged these brok
er were demaYidine twice and in
some cases three times the normal
price for fuel.

Refuse to Enter
Peace Parleys
Uncertainty Develops as to
Scope and Effectivenens
of Strike. Settlement
Program.
Chicago, Sept. 15. Refusal by a
number of the country's biggest rail
way systems to enter into the War
ficld-VVillard-JewcIl plan for ending
the shopmen's strike on the basis of
separate and individual . agreements
developed an element of considerable
uncertainty today over the scope and
effectiveness of the peace program.
While some of the larger systems
had flatly rejected the plan, others,
however, notably the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul had virtually
compfeted arrangements for restoring
strikers to their former jobs.
Negotiations were in progress with
several roads in an effort by shop
craft system federation officers to ef
fect additional settlements through
ratification of the plan.
Strike leaders were said to be in
tent upon addressing communica
tions to soipe of the unwilling roads,
asking them to reconsider their re
jections. No obstruction will he placed in
the way of shopmen returning to
work on the railroads parties to the
settlement plan as fast as those roads
and their system federation chairman
arrange for resumption. B. M. Jew
ell, head of the railway employes de
partment ot the American federation
of Labor, said today in denying
statements by Fred W. Rausch,
union leader at Topeka, Kan.
Ransch said last night a letter
signed by Mr. Jewell directed that
no man would return to work until
all the roads had signed the agree
ment. "Such a letter might have been sent
out before the settlement agreement
was reached, Mr. Jewell said.

Mrs. E.L. Mills. 2145 South 'Flin

yesterday, stating that her daughter,
Miss Minnie ti. Mills, htad ot the
American Collegiate Institute for
Girls in Smyrna is safe.
Dispatches from the war area and
from London stated that many of
the girl pupils in the institute were
carried off by Turkish soldiers. A
London dispatch yesterday quoted
Miss Mills as saying that a fire
started in a building right after a
Turkish sergeant was seen by her
leaving the building.
Women and babies, 1,500 persons
in all, who gathered in the institute
buildings for safety, were killed, dis
patches stated. The dispatch tell-
mg of Miss Mills' safety was sent
from Athens, Greece.

Mudania, Sept. 15. (By A. P.)
I he Greek cruisers Giorgios Aver
oft and Kilkos, the latter formerly the
United States steamer Mississippi,
are at Pandemia, covering the re
treat of the remnant of the Greek
army, for whose safety grave con
cern is felt. The Turks are at the
heels of the fleeing Greeks, and it is
believed the latter are doomed un
less the Greek government can pro
vide vessels for their escape.
Two companies of French infantry
were sent to this city from Constan
tinople for the temporary nrotection
of the thousands of Christian refu
gees, many of whom, panic-stricken,
are throwing themselves into the sea.
f When the Turks invaded the town
they notified the French comnyiiider
that the presence of his troops would
not be tolerated, but he stood his
ground.
Ghemlek, east of this place, is prac
tically deserted. The Greek de-i
stroyer Panther put up a heroic fight
to keep back the invading Kemahsts
there, but the latter brought into
action long range gnus whuh soon
forced the warship to retire.

Smyrna, Sept. 15. Three-fifths u
Mnyrna is in ashes and more than
300,000 persons arc homeless today as
the fire burns itself out after de
stroying the entire American, Greek
and foreign quarters of this city. The
financial loss is close to $200,000,
000, of which $12,000,000 is Ameri
can. The loss of life is impossible to
compute. Every allied ship in the
harbor has volunteered its aervices
in carrying away the refugees, many
of whom are badly wounded. The
streets are littered with dead.
' Thus, despite Mustapha Kemal
Pasha's assurances, Turkey has "reg
ulated past accoiinti."
No Americana Dead.
After checking the roll of Ameri
can citizens, it is found that every
American in Smyrna Is safe. The
teaching staff of the Paradise col
lege, left before the blaze became
serious. The teaching staff of the
Collegiate institution, together with
all the students, boarded the ship
Winona, which is now at Athens,
business men and relief workers
who remained are quartered on the
destroyer Litchfield.
The destroyer F-dsall left early yes
terday for Salonika with 600 refugees,
mostly Greeks and Armenians, manv
of whom are iadly wounded. This
was all that could be packed, on the
ship.
The Winona, in addition to car
rying the students mentioned, car
ried more than 1,000 Armenian
Greeks and foreigners.
All foreign consulates were de
stroyed, together with fine burines
buildings, banks and home alonir
the quays and in the foreign quarter.
Except for the squalid Turkish quar
ter, Smyrna ceases to exist. Amcmir.
tne nouses destroyed was the head
quarters of Kemal. The problem of
minorities here is solved for all time.
They are refugees and are being re
moved to other lands as fast Aji no-
sible.
Fire Origin Certain.
No doubt remains as to the nrioin
of the fire. On sworn testimony, tha
American staif of the Collegiate In-
stitute states the torch was applied
by regular Turkish soldiers. I'vi.
dcntly it was reprisal for the dam
age caused by the Greeks during their
ntreat, ah nou-1 uikish people suf
fered alike.
Food conditions amonir lh
refugeci arc terrible. The supplies o
