OF PALESTINE
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND

London, Sept. 24.-There are now
barely 100000 people in all Pal
estine, population much less than
that of Galilee alone in the time of
Christ, says Sir Herbert Samuel, the
British high commissioner there, in a
report just made public.
Ten thousand immigrants arrived
in Palestine in the seven months be-
tween September, 1920, and May;
1921, he reports. 49,.
Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity
of the population to lack of develop
ment.
The financial condition of Eastern
and Central Europe and internal
difficulties within the Zionist organ
ization Of the United States, says the
report, have prevented the Zionist
movement from providing, as yet,
any large sums for enterprises Of
development or colonization. As q
consequence, while there had been
much pressure to admit Jewish i'm
migrants, there has been no ex-
pansion in the opportunities for en-
ployment, he declared.
The water supply by Jerusalem
having been found to be insufficient,
the government is bringing into use
some ancient reservoirs of vast ca
pacity, named the pools Of Solomon,
but of unkonwn date, possibly. Her.
odian, situated eight miles away.
The garrison of the county has
been reduced to 5000 combacant
troops, imposing a charge Of $500,
900 pounds on the British excheque,
or at he rate of 500 pounds fol
every fighting man.

PEACE TREATIES
T0.BE RATIFIED
FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMIT
TEE APPROVES DEMOCRATS
JOIN IN MAKING FAVORABLE
REPORT, WITH FINAL ACTION
SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The trea-
ties of peace negotiated by the ad'
ministration with Germany, Austria
and Hungary. were approved today
by the senate foreign relations COM
mittee, but with two reservations.
One resrvation- similar to Lodge
reservation to the treaty of Yer
saiues would require an act of
congress prior to representation on
or participation in any foreign
agencies or commissions by Ameri-
can Representatives whose nomina-
Etion would have to be confirmed by
the senate. The other is designed to
protect thep roperty right of Ameri-
can citizns as we'll as Of the Ameri-
can government in the three form
er enemy countries. =.
Adoption of the two reservations
brought from the White House the
statement that while President Hard
ing had not seen their text, he favor
ed the principles involved and no
objection would be raised by the ad-
ministration to ratification with the
proposed reservation attached. D..
Senator Borah (Republican) of
Idaho, leader of the "irreconcilable"
in the treaty of Versailles ratifca-
ton, alone of the foreign relations
committee members, stood out
against recommendation that the
three treaties be ratified with the
proposed reservations. Democratic
committee members Joined with the
Republican members in ordering
the pacts reported favorably to the
senate where they were presented
late todal by Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, Republican leader and
committee chairman. ...
: The treaties, Senator Lodge an
nounced, are to be called before the
senate tomorrow when he plans to
make a preferential motion I! for
their. discussion ahead Of all other
business. It is proposed, however, to
give right of way next week to the
tax bill and to have night sessions,
beginning probably next Tuesday, in
an effort to hasten ratification.

ADDITION MADE
TO DEATH LIST
GERMAN TOWN NOW SCENE OF
Observation-Disclosures SOL
! DIERS PROCEED AS THEY
. DID AFTER GREAT BATTLE
DURING WAR.

Manneheim, Germany, Sept. 23.-
Desolation and ruins alone remain
of what was once the fourishing
town of Oppau. The town had $500
residents, of which a majority of the
men engaged in the chemical works
were killed or Wounded. Soldiers in
French uniforms are clearing away
the wreckage, picking up the dead
and injured as after a big battle.
Eleven hundred dead and 1000 in
jured is the latest estimate of the
disaster yesterday, which caused a
greater number of casualties in the
Mannheim -Ludwighafen district
than the four years of the war. The
desolation around Oppau equals any
thing seen at Verdun or in Flanders
over similar area, Hundreds of
persons are digging in the ruins for
the bodies Of relatives or friends,
nearly 1000 of which have been re-
covered thus far.
Thirty-six hours after the explo-
sion, from the gaping, funnel like
hole, where the Badische works for
merly stood, there are still to be
heard moaning and cries of the
wounded, while the soldiers search
for possible survivors. twenty-five
hundred Of the injured are reported
to have passed through the hospital
of the surrounding cities. ...
The vast crater is slowly filling
with water and it may never lie
known how many victims found
grave there. All mutilated, but still
living animals crawling amidst tne
twisted girders and blocks of con
crete, are being put out of their
misery: The firemen and relief work
ers have not yet been able to dis
card their gas masks. ...

MONEY AT BOTTOM "
,... OF HANAN AFFAIR
Daughter of Shoe Man Shot Be
cause She Withdrew Financial
Support From Mrs. Laws.

New York, Sept. 24.-The. theory
that Mrs. Grace Laws, losing the
friendship and financial assistance
of Miss Mildred Hanan, was driven
to frenzy which resulted in her
shooting the shoe mans daughter
and then committing suicide was ad-
vocated today by John s. Borland,
central figure in yesteray's TRACE
dy. .
Borland-a Dartmouth graduate,
importer, and friend of both Miss
Hanan and Mrs. Laws-advanced
theory only after he had been press
ed to do so by Assistant District At
torney Wilson.
Borland asserted that the ending
Of the friendship, carrying with it
withdrawal of Miss Hanan's finan-
cial assitance, had left Mrs. Laws,
nearly 'broke." He expressed belief
that this followed by the excessive
drinking for which Mrs. Laws
wrote her regret in a letter address,
ed to her sister in San Fancisco and
found after her death. Then, in turn,
according to the. Borland theory,
came the homicidal frenzy.
It was learned that when the as
sitant district attorney attempted
to question Miss Hanan-lyins in a
Brooklyn hospital, fighting off
death-She girl ready answered all
questions except those pertaining to
the question of whether Mrs. Laws
had owed her money.
When a detective asked Miss Han
an, blurtly, why the other divorcee
had shot her, the girl closed her eyes
and barely moved her head from
side to side TO signify that she did
know.

Greensboro, N. c., Sept. 23.-Al-
leging that the tax assessments on

ney General James I. Manning, the
sheriffs of counties and the tax col
lectors of municipalities and school

ed from taking any steps to collect

alton. No temporary restraining or
ders is asked. It is understood that
three Judges, one of who must be a
circuit judge or supreme court JUS
tice of preliminary injunction.
:; The Southern alleges that the as
sessment of its property in North
Carolina at above $96,000,O0G is
more than. s3O,OeO,o0O in excess If
its true value. It states also that
should this assessment stand its tax
es will be increased more than $780,
900 over last year as the result of
action of the oeuntiey in reducing
the assessments on real estate and
increasing the tax rates.
