 The Fire Prince, the words of which are by David Stevens and the music by Henry Hadley, has the repu- tatIon of being one of the very best operettas for such companies of anna teurs as the high school has From beginning to end the play is fuif of tuneful music so fascinating and beau Iful that it long remains in the mem ory Of the nearer. ChoruSeS, solos, duets and quartets all go together to make up a musical production or unus- uaf worth which would furnish a more than satisfactory entertainment alone without the added element of interest furnished by thei interesting and amusing story which runs through the Operetta.
 Three Months Work

DIPLOMATS NOT
TO Be SPARED
Customs Officials Will Continue
to Search Baggage of
Foreign Ministers.
nv Asseeiatsa Pres, /,

Washington, Oct 20.-Despite the
appeal Of the state department that
government agents refrain from
searching the baggage OF the dipIo-
matte representatives of foreign ma
tions, customs officials said today thai
the order requiring customs officers to
remove liquor from the personal ef-
fects Of arriving diplomats would re-
main in force.
Treasury officials declared there had
been no controversy between their de-
partment and the state department
over the question, as there had been
no formal interchange Of opinions on
the subject, state department officers
are known to feel very strongly on the
subject, however, and as the customs
order has caused considerable irrita-
tion in diplomatic circles some ad-
ministration officers believe the whole
matter may eventually be referred TO
the White House.
Officers Of the customs service said
their only course was to enforce the
law as written. They declared, how
ever, there was no intention to offend
foreign diplomats and that the search
for liquor could be made without pry-
ing into the personal effects and pa
pers Of the diplomats.

CHEER WINNING SHIPPERS
Men Who Won Series of Races
at New Orleans Praised
for Skiilful Work.
(By Lucky Baldwin,

No heartier nor truer greeting has
been given returning conquerors since
Caesar and his legions returned from
all .Gaul than was accorded by the
Pensacola Yacht Club last night to
the nine men who won the trio of
races at New Orleans last Saturday
and Sunday. They were cheered to
the echo, they were given votes of
thanks and they were greeted, man
to-man, by every member of the club
as the truest kind of spprtsmen and
the most seaman-like of sailors.
Members of the victorious crews
were: Capt. William Walthers, Dan
Shepard and d. r. Curtiss Capt Dave
Witherell, Lieutenant Mitchell and
Oscar Sheppard, and Pieter Altink
w. A. Durham and e. G.. Skottowe.
Sailboat enthusiasts of the Pensa-
cola Yacht Club are already prepar-
ing to defend the Upton Fish Class
Inter-Club Challenge Trophy against
all comers next year, and the local
club will make sure that the races
are held in Pensacola If 1t has to buy
a dozen boats to retain the privilege
which it won at New Orleans.
As the first step in the plans, the
Fish Class Syndicate, composed of
club members, voted last night TO turn
over its three boats to the club pro-
viding the club win construct three
additional boats.
Under the rules of the Upton Tro-
ply races, the club in whose port the
races are held must have not less
than two boats for each challenging
club. Should New Orleans. Mobile.

wise the races would be held in Lake

is going to see to it that there are two
boats for every club which has posted
its entrance prior TO May /, 1921
Lieutenant Mitchell, D. r. Curtiss.
Capt. William Walthers, Capt. Jim
Watson, Rear Commodore Linden

They were seconded by Captain
Hutchinson, Col. r. NJ. Cary, Capt.
Paul p. Stewart and a dozen other
members of the syndicate, all of
whom are intensely Interested in the
fish class game and in all sailing
events.
The syndicate met Immediately af-
ter the regular club meeting and
adopted a resolution to turn over to
the club its three boats on condition
the remaining members of the club
will build three more. The sugges-
tion was made by half dozen men,
bers of the syndicate, and was put in

BANKERS TAKE
CASE TO WILSON
President Will Be Requested to
Recreate War Finance
Corporation.
NEY is AVAILABLE
Funds to Be Used for Exporting
Cotton, Wheat and Other
Agricultural Products.
lBx Associated Press,

| Washington, Oct. 20.-A group oi
| bankers attending the national con-
vention here of the American Bank
ers association decided tonight to ask
| President Wilson to re- create the wal
| finance corporation to aid in export
| ing cotton, wheat and other agricul-
tural products. The action was taken
after Eugene Meyer, Jr., formerly
managing director of the corporation
had explained at a meeting called by
the bankers that the funds placed at
the disposal of the corporation still
were available should it's powers be
restored.
The meeting was called to hear Mr..
| Meyer discuss methods of financing
exports. Walter Meade, of Omaha,
Peter w. Goebel. Kansas City, G. B.
Hazelwood, Chicago; ID. NJ. Arm
strong Memphis; George r. James,
Memphis; r. S. Hecht, New Orleans
and P. II. Johnston, New York, signed
the call
Mr.. Meyers advocacy of a re-
sumption of the corporations activ-
tiles was based upon what he de-
clared was a very exacting need for
the extension of credits.
"The use of credits in the hands of
those who know how to use them,' he
said. 'can be most helpful, useful and
healing for America"
Even though admitting the wisdom
of suspending the work of the cor
poration last June, he said new con-
ditions had arisen that now appeared
to warrant a resumption. He pointed
out that under the act creating it the
corporation would remain in exist
ence until a year after the war with
Germany had been proclaimed at an
end

recommending resumption he add
ed, declaring he had consulted twen-
ty-five of the largest bankers and
found them unanimous 'fn favor or
resumption"
Business is no longer prosperous,
Mr.. Meyer asserted, adding that en-
ployment was steadily increasing and
that a utilization of the corporation
would tend to stabilize business and
finally bring about lower prices. Cot
ton, he said. was merely one industry
that had been seriously affected.
Bankers should refuse to extend

GINS OF SOUTH
May Shut DOWN
Movement Inaugurated in LOU
isiana Said to Be 8Ppular
Throughout Belt.
EFFECTIVE FOR 80 DAYS
Object Would Be to Revive Con-
fidence in Demoralized
Marketing Conditions.
tey Associated Press,

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-A movement
was inaugurated here today invoIv-
ing the closing of every cotton gin in
the south for period of thirty days,
beginning November 1, as a means to
revive confidence in the demoralized
cotton market.
w. B. Thompson. president of the
Louisiana division of the American
Cotton association, and one of the
leading cotton factors of the south,
has forwarded recommendations to
the president of the association, to be-
gin the work of organizing the cotton
men with this purpose in view. This
move is in accordance with the plan
set forth by the officials of the Lou
isiana Ginners association and other
prominent ginners of the state.
In the event that the movement
proves successful, it is estimated
that $4,000 gins throughout the south
will be affected, and would make it
impossible for the cotton planters to
market their crops before December
II. The promoters of the movement
express their belief that il all the cot
ton ginners will enter iasto the agree
ment to close down for thirty days
cotton will reach thirty cents pound
by the end of that period 1t is stat
ed that the ginners of Louisiana will
proceed at once with the organiza-
ton and that practically all the gin
operators in this state will adopt the
proposed plan irrespective of whether
the other states join them or not. The
Texas division of the cotton associa-
tion has been asked to cooperate with
