Attorney Folk telegraphed Governor
Dockery recommending a ten days re-

defense. A message from Jefferson City
said that the governor, when aroused by
the messenger, stuck his head out OF a
second-story window and asked What's
wanted?"
The messenger told him the nature of
the message and he ordered II put under
the door Sheriff Dicltmann concluded
that rhis meant no interference
AT $50 Sheriff Dlckmann told the con-

BRITAIN'S FINANCIAL BILL

ii old the loss Of revenue which Cured
owing to business interests taking adj
vantage of premature leakage of the
last budgets proposals.
After much consultation. the cabinet
appears to favor allotting the West
Indies a lump sum, to be divided among
+ the plantations in order TO tide over the
period between now and the time when
the arrangement Of the Brussels sugar
conference comes into force.
The colonial secretary advocated a
preferential treatment of West Indian
sugar, hut the chancellor OF the ex-
chequer appears to have carried the cab

There is considerable anxiety In the
!, British sugar trade to know whether the
United States will regard the bestOwal
or lump sum on the West Indies as
being in the light OF a subsidy and will
rstaliate by imposing a contrayalllng
duty on West Indian sugars.
II such be the case, it Is pointed out,
peoliniary relief by the imperial govern
mont will accomplish nothing.
