NO DEVELOPMENTS IN
 MEAD FENTRESS CASE

Little Rock, Sept. 18.-There have been no developments in the Mead Fen tress case. If the condition that usu- ally attaches to pardons issued by Gov. Hays was placed in the original, it will be subject to revocation because 'of his violation of the law immediate ly after his return to Fort Smith. There is some doubt, however, whe- ther the condition was attached.
 The governor Friday pardoned Alice Cudney, a white woman of about 35 years received early this week from Franklin county to serve a term of thirty days on conviction of a charge of miscegenation. The old negro con- victed with her was given one year. The woman was pardoned on Gov. Hays own volition, without a petition or request from any one. He also paid for her railroad ticket and for an outfit of clothes, out of his personal funds, and saw that she was put on the train and started for her home.

BANKERS AT ODDS
 ON LOAN ISSUE
American Bankers Want War Munitions Included in Exports to Be Paid for Out of Loan. Won't Pay More , per cent.

New York, Sept. 17.-The Anglo- French financial commissioners who are seeking to establish a mammoth credit loan here and American finan- elerS were reported to be at odds to- night over the burning question of including munitions of war among exports to be paid for by the proceeds of the loan.
 On several details of the loan the commission and the bankers have agreed but on this major question it was said their views are diametrical- ly opposed. Further, it developed to- night there is an apparent split on the question in the ranks of the Ameri- can fnanciers.
 The commissioners attitude so far as 1t can be interpreted from a canvas ot such bankers conferring with it to- day as would talk, is that the big ere dit, whether a billion dollars or less. should provide funds for all exports and that munitions of war certainly should be included
 Some American bankers think so too, but great many are said to be of the opinion that the loan should cover only commodities, exports such as wheat, cotton and manufactured products and that another method must be found to pay for munitions of war even if this method involves the shipment of huge stocks of gold across the Atlantic to the United States.
 The situation has not reached the acute stages of a deadlock nor any thing approaching it but the line of demarcation is clear and well de- fined Many hours, it became known tonight, have been passed in discuss ing the single issue and many more, it was thought, would follow in sim liar discussion before it is decided.
 A minor point of variance is the role that Russia is to play in the of the loan. The com although acting officially only fro Great Britain and France, is pop uarly believed to contemplate includ- ing Russia in its plans too Authori- ty for such inclusion, it is thought, would follow the forthcoming confer ence in London among the French and Russian finance ministers and the British chancellor of the exchequer, but some American bankers want to deal directly with Russia and object to her obtaining money in this country England and France.
 4 third point concerns the rate of If the commissioners call CTS have correctly reflected its views in their talks with the newspaper men, Great Britain and France are en- phatic in thir assertion that the pro- posed bonds shall not pay more than five per cent interest and there will be no underwriting of the issue. This would eliminate the possibility that any group of bankers would be paid fat fees to place the loan on the mar ket here. The return to the banker and the investor, it is reported, is to be the same.
 As to this proposal, it is understood the American bankers generally have been won over. Here and there, how ever, a voice of dissent is heard.

Great Future For Turkeu
if the Germans Win War

with the result that Turkey today has
no industries, and is obliged even to
ship its olive oil to Italy for refine
fnent. The absence of all economic
understanding on the part of those in
power under the old regime was ap-
palling. Those wishing to establish
themselves in some industry or busi-
ness in Turkey were usually asked to
pay for the privilege in the form of a
bribe to some official.
ALREADY conditions have improved,
but there is much room for betterment
yet. But / am not one of those who
naintain, malicious, think that
the Turk is constitutionally averse to
progress. He simply does not, as a
rule, understand that what may bene-
fit others will benefit him. The Turk
is suspicious of all strangers, he is
also covetous enough to envy the for
eigner whose skill and enterprise lead
to success. He does not understand
that similar qualification and exer-
tion on his own part would produce a
like result.

Constantinople Banker Points Out the
Possibilities of That Country Should
1t Become a Self-Contaned Unit
Has Thousands of Acres of Soil
Which Would Be Fertile, If Any
Care Were Taken of 1t.

Constantinople, Sept. 2S.-A banker
of considerable prominence in Con-
stantinople has given the Associated
Press correspondent some idea of
what may be accomplished in Turkey
in event of the war having a favorable
outcome for the Turks. Although the
banker stipulated that his name
should not be used at this time, his
position and knowledge of the country
are such that his statements, even ap-
pearing anonymously, may be consid-
cred as of unusual importance.
Discussing the essentials that would
make Turkey a strong and self-con-
tanned political unit after the war, he
said at the outset that what Turkey
needed today most was an economic
policy that would leave something for
coming generations. In other words,
exploitation would have to cease.
"The undeveloped resources of the
Ottoman empire are enormous" he
continued. Turkey, for instance,
could meet the entire grain shortage
of Europe, il its soil were adequately
titled and marketing facilities provid-
ed. Turkey could supply all of Eu-
rope with fruit, and ship fully one
half of the meat now imported by
European countries from Gouth and
North America, Australia and New
Zealand. The intelligent cultivation
of cotton would place Turkey next to
the United States as producer of the
staple. The olive oil industry could
be increased thousand times. More
wool could be exported. Ports of An.
atolia and Syria are especially suited
for the raising of plants of great me-
dicinal value. Even coal of fair value
could be shipped to the Mediterranean
countries"
Before any of these things could be
made possible, however. said the bank
- the Ottoman government would
have tc -aalize that stable economic
policy was necessary. Some of the
young Turks had already arrived at
such a conclusion, but little had been
done even hv them, he asserted.
"But we raust be patient. 1t is hard
ly two ye; rs now since the Turks
themselves have taken to work.
Up to that time the Turks held the
erroneous notion that work was not
particularly ennobling, that work, aft
er all, was for others-Kurds, Greeks
and Armenians. With the Turks hold
ing the reins OF government, this view
could lead but to one resuIt--a total
lack of sound economic thought. What
ever was done had the meeting of i'm
needs as its objective. Ex-
ploitation of most ruthless nature
ensued. Under this system the splen-
did forests of Turkey were destroyed;
The peasant was taxed to death and
given no opportunity to improve eth
sr himself or his land; honest fnves-
,ors were kept out of the country,
