JUDGE BEING TRIED FOR
 pDrp M OWN COURT.
Garage Proprietor Was Killed Under
 Mysterious Circumstances.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 15.-All the elements of an absorbing mystery promises to come to light in the trial of Judge Vim. c. McGannon, chief justice of Cleveland's municipal courts, who is charged with second degree murder for the killing of Har- old Kagy,
 John ". Boyce, prominent politi- cal figure, was acquitted of the crime.
 Kagy, who was garage proprietor, was killed after spending an after noon with Joyce and McGannon. At references to third man being pres ent, but McGannon testified he was the Joyce trial there were repeated not there. Other witnesses testified that the third man resembled Judge McGannon.
 Joyce testified that he himself could not have fired the shot, as he was leaning up against tree drunk when Kagy fell with a fatal bullet wound.
 One of the features of the case is the fact that McGannon is sitting at the bar where, for many years, he dispensed justice, and the judge who is hearing the case is his lifelong friend and will have to pass sentence in case McGannon is convicted.

Feeling That Reparation Demands

 There appeared to be feeling among the allies representatives that perhaps Germany cannot meet the heavy demands and still con tinue to produce.

FRICTION BASED BY HARDINC's
 VISIT.
By RAYMOND L. CHAPTER Limited Press Staff Corresponden

With President-elect Harding.)
 Panama City. R. P. (By Mail. )- The visit of President-elect Harding to the capital of the Panamanian re- public is resulting in noticeable in- crease in the friendly feeling toward the United States, according to Panamanian officials and prominent Americans here.
 It was checked for the time being, at least growing undercurrent of resentment toward the United States which has been assiduously famed by radical Panamanians seeking to over throw the Perras party now in power and avowedly friendly to the Ameri- can government.
 Harding accomplished this, Ameri- cans here say, by his friendly re- marks at the dinner given him by President Porras and appearances at informal receptions. where he empha- sized the responsibility resting on the Republ'c of Panama and insisted that the United States wanted all coun- tries to have the same share of free dom in international relations that it desires for itself.
 Friction has been developing for some time, centering largely around disputes over acquisition of land in Panama to be used in fortifying the canal. A treaty gives the United States the right to purchase lands for this purpose, but difference has arisen over the price to be paid, the American officials insisting on the 1904 valuation figures and Panaman- ians claiming this is too low now. Just now the contemplated question of sites on Toboga Island for additional defeuses at the Pacific end of the canal is the center of friction.
 This feeling reached crisis recent ly. when General Pershing was on a tour of inspection in the canal zone. Local politicians had been haranging crowd in front of the Union Club, where General Pershing was to be feted. The crowd got out of hand and began throwing rocks at automo- piles in which Amer1cans were arriv- ing for the banquet. Word was dis patched to General Pershing, who was about to start from the Tivoli Hotel at Ancon and what might have been a serious incident was thereby averted.
 President Porras, formerly Pana- manian minister to the United States, IS exerting every effort to allay this unfriendly feeling, and it was to as sist him in this enterprise and seek better understanding with the citi- zens of the Panamanian republic that Senator Harding abandoned his re- luctance to visit foreign soil while in Panama.
 Leading citizens of Panama realize fully, Americans here say, that it is only with the backing of the United States that they are enabled to pre- serve their independence. Colombia could, it is admitted, recapture the country in brief time were it not for the protecting influence of the Unit ed States, which unofficially assisted Panama in its secession from Colom- bia. This situation, observers here declare, is sufficient alone to keep in check the extreme nationalists seeking to embitter the Panamanians against the United States.

 T|ON ORGANIZED Al NEW ORLEANS
FEDERAL INTER NATIONAL BANKING COMPANY WILL HAVE CAPITAL OF $1o,o0o, 900.

New Orleans, Dec. 18.-The Fed eral International Banking Company which was organized here yesterday with capital stock of $7,00O,000, will begin to function on January T.
 This was indicated today in the an- nouncement that 25 per cent of the subscribed stock be paid into the in- stitution's coffers on that date.
 This movement was organized in this city several weeks ago, at which time it was decided to start with a capitalization of 5000 900, but the stock was oversubscribed by $1,000,- GOO, and it was decided to try and increase it to $10,000,000.
 Arkansas banks have subscribed 427,000 to this institution. and one of it's prominent bankers, Moorehead Wright of Little Rock, was placed on the board of directors. New Orleans will be the permanent head quarters of the bank.
 This big institution has been or ganized for the purpose of handling the cotton crop and other southern products by extending a series of credits to foreign countries. Under the Lever act the bank is authorized to do business to the extent of ten times it's capital stock.
 It is expected that it will be of great benefit in stablizing the price of cotton.
 Permanent officers of the institu- ton will be elected by January 2.

Independence, Kan, Dec. IT, The race war which flared up here yesterday following the murder of a white grocer, R. R. Wharton, by 8 negro, resulted in a number of cas- ualties for the white forces.
 The clash was precipitated when city officers attempted to disarm eight negroes who were muttering, ''war on the whites" The blacks re- fused to yield their arms and the officers left evidently with the in tention of getting endorsements.
 Immediately after the city officers left the negroes opened fire on a crowd of citizens. Two were killed and four injured, three of them probably fatally in the fusilade which followed. Only one of this number was 6 negro.
 Lawrence Clennan, a high school boy, was shot by Arthur Harper, negro, and immediately dozen guns parked and Harper dropped dead, riddled with bullets.
 The affair caused tht greatest excitement and there were threats of wiping out the entire negro popu- iation. But with the presence of 2 large number of members of the American Legion, the situation is believed to be under control.

today for Egypt. where they will meet
James Henry breasted. also a Chicago
university professor. and proceed TO
explore the Tigro- Icuphrates valley
where the British and Arabian forces

Tho men who left for the adventure
were David -. Luckenbill. associate

Because OF the extremely unsettled
state of the country after the Turkish
Invasion. British military authorities
have promised every cooperation.
The trip will consume full year
and II is expected to be the hardest
year any of the explorers have en-
countered. Villages are few and far
between. Severe sandstorms which
rage continually throughout the des-

between waterholes Is great and the

Nearly s0.00O.000 of gallons of
