Taylor, negro woman, was award
ed-oil and mineral rights in proper
ty in Claiborne parish, said to
amuont to $2O,OOO,OOO in a decision

AMERICANS LOSE LEGAL
RIGHTS IN EGYPT

London, May "a decree has
been issued in Cairo extending the
activities of the mixed tribunals in
that country until Nov.>1, says a
Reuters dispatch received here. Ad-
hesion of the United States to this
step has not yet been received, it is
said. The mixed tribunals were es-
tablished in 1876, and have jurisdict-
ion, in civil matters, between natives
and foreigners and between foreign
ers in cases where matters in dispute
relate to land in Egypt.
An Exchange Telegraph Company
dispatch from Cairo says that the
failure of the United States to reply
to the Residency circular, asking for
the agreement of the capitulatory
powers to the extension of the tribu-
nails existence deprives Americans of
their legal rights, other than consul
lar, in Egypt after Monday.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
CAMPAIGN IN WAYNE

Goldsboro, May 3.-The sign-up
campaign for cooperative market
ing of tobacco and cotton was
launched in Wayne county at a mass
meeting in the court house here yes
terday. DR.. Clarence Poe, editor of
the Progressive Farmer, explained
the cooperative marketing agree
ments~ before an audience of repre-
sentative farmers from every school
district in the county.
''In proportion as farmers prosper
so will business men and bankers
prosper" declared DR.. Poe. eff the
farmers prosperity is increased by 25
per cent so will the business mems
prosperity be increased by 25 pei
cent" He contrasted the present
methods of selling cotton and to-
bacco used by growers with the
merchandising methods in use by
business and even by labor unions
and said that if merchants pursued
such a policy of dumping as the
farmers have been doing they would
all be bankrupt just as the farmers
are now bankrupt throughout the
South.

Full protection" he said, +4both

Board to all those who come to it's
assistance in keeping the ships i'm OPP

Economic conditions fully justify,
he said, the readjustment in wage
scales and working conditions as

men expired, and the gratifying sue
cess" with which the boards efforts
to keep it's ships in operation are
meeting. he added, indicates that the

ANIMALS PROVE THEY
Do NOT LIKE JAZZ

New York May 3.-Humans may
like jazz but animals don't.
This was the conclusion reached
by group of scientists who recently
assembled in the Central Park zoo
to see what a saxaphone and traps
would do to. the emotions of mon
keys, lions, leopards, elephants and
other jungle beasts.
A quintet of musicians guaran-
teed to rag anything from Wagner
down was massed in front of the
monkey cages for the first labora-
tory test to determine whether the
line Emusic hath charms to soothe
the savage breast was, after all on
ly poetic license.
According to a corps of unscien-
tific reporters who journeys to the
zoo with scientists from Columbia
university, American Museum OF
Natural History and New York Zoo
logical Park, the monkeys registered
emotion all right-but of a rather
savage kind.

ance the expectation of cotton which
was under definite contract of sale,
but which would not move forward

Proposals Ended Subject.

Washington, May 3.-In urging
Germany to make at once directly to
the allied Supreme Council adequate
counter proposals on reparations.
The American government is be-
lieved by allied diplomats here to
have definitely closed the reparation
question.
Administration officials declined to
day to comment on the communica-
tion saying it spoke for itself. Nor
would they indicate any cons:dera-
ton which caused it's dispatch some
what unexpectedly at a late hour last
night. The note was sent without any
communication having been received
by America from the allies.
The state department has been
kept informed as to events in the Su-
preme Council and it had become evil
dent the proposals were unacceptable
to the allied powers. That view had
been taken by France and Belgium
at an early date.
The United States apparently has
not given up hope that basis may be
reached for a final settlement officials
will not say however whether the Uni.
ted States sent the note sound out the
allied governments views.
