FATHER REFUSES
TO BURY BODY
SOLDIER SON

Statesville, n. c., Sept. with
the casket draped in an American flag
and resting on chairs in the little
home, John P. Speaks. of Union Grove
township, near here, refuses to bur,
the body of his son, Thomas b.
Speaks who was killed in action in
France on Oct. 4, 1918, which ar
rived at his home on Aug. 13.
After the arrival of the body, the
father, to satisfy himself that the
casket contained the remains of his
son, had the casket opened. Mr..
Speaks identified the skeleton as that
of his son by the shape of the teeth
and dental work with which he was
familiar. The coffin was then sealed
and placed in the little home.
When the county welfare officer and
the sheriff of Tredell county visited
the Speaks home Saturday to ascer-
tain if it was unsanitary to keep the
casket in the house, Mr.. Speaks told
them he did not want to bury the body
unless he had to do so.
81 prefer to fix place in or near
the house." Mr.. Speaks is quoted as
having said, land keep him until |
am dead and have his bones buried
with me-" No action has been taken
by the county authorities to force Mr..
Speaks to bury the body.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEETS TODAY WITH
LONG LIST OF PROBL EMS CONFRONTING IT
Questions Relating To South America Presented By Bolivia Against
the Wishes of ChIe-.SeeciOn Of President Big Task

Auucroy Battancourt, Cuban mniste:
to Holland, was 4 favored delegate
among the Americans.
Bolivia appeared to supply the only
possible dscordant note, intending to
have the Tacna-Arica problem placed
upon the agenda of the assembly
against the strong opposition of
Chile. Bolivia was reported as de-
sirous of having the session consider
the revision of the treaty of 1914.
The appointment of six committees
ON which each member of the leagua
would be represented was also on the
program for today. 1t was reported
that these committees would sit each
afternoon and that the assembly
would decide to hold its sessions dur
ing the morning. BY this plan and
with other time-saving devices dele
gates hoped to finish their work with
in three weeks.
Hungary was the only new appli-
cant for membership, but the assem-
bly, already had before it the applica-
tions of Letvia, Lithuania, Ukraine
Azerbaijan, Georgia. Armenia ana
Lichtenstein. 1t was deemed possible
that the assembly might be called
upon to pass upon the admission OF
Germany and there were several
member nations that would support
her claims for admission.
The assembly opened with greater
animation than that of last year. but
the aspect of the gathering was little
changed. There was small sprink-
ling of women in the audience.
A picturesque note was furnished
by Indian delegates in native cos
tune.

Hope to Withdraw Troops

Washington, Sept. 5.-War depart
ment officials were hopeful today that
conditions in the West Virginia mine
fields would permit immediate with
drawal of part of the federal forces
there. In message to the depart
ment last night, reporting "all quiet"
in the occupied area, Brig. Gen. II. H.
Bandholtz. commanding, said if the
situation remained the same today
he would recommend the withdrawal
of at least the 26th infantry. one of
the two regiments on the scene.
Arrival of federal troops, the gen.
eral reports, had pacified the district
without a shot being fired or a sim
gle hostile demonstration having been
made against them. He added he did
not believe it would be necessary or
advisable to promulgate the promul-
cation of martial law.

robbed the cashiers office of $500

man and e. w. Harris. treasurer for
the theatre. were seated in their Of
flee, just off the first balcony of the
building, counting the days receipts
Rollins, who had been viewing the
show, left his seat and started to-
wards the exit as though merely pass
ing out of the building. AS he passed
the cashiers office he opened the door
and confronted the two men, with the
money lying on the table before them
and commanded them to throw up
their hands.
1t took several minutes for him to
convince the two men that he was in
earnest, whereupon Hickman grabbed
the man and was instantly shot
through the left eye. Harris was
struck over the head with Il blunt in
strument. but not seriously injured.
Rollins darted from the building with
Harris at his heels. and in the crowd
ed street pedestrians joined in the

discharged from custody on a charge
of stealing a suit of clothes. He said
he had no intention of killing Hick-
man, merely wanting the money.

PALESTINE WILL

 FOR ALL PEOPLE
High Commissioner Sir Her. bert Smith Says British
 Will Protect All.

JERUSALEM, July 19.-Sir Her bert Samuel, the high commissioner of Palestine, on the occasion of the Kings birthday, addressed a repre- sentative gathering here. In the course of his speech he expressed regret that harmony between the de voices of different creeds, which he earnestly desired to promote, had not yet been attained. He declared that Great Britain would never i'm pose on the Palestinian people a policy contrary to their religious, political and economic interests.
 Referring to immigration, Sir Her bert said it must be definitely recog nized that conditions did not. admit of mass immigration Among new arrivals, he added, there had been a number tainted with the "pernicious doctrines of Bolshevism." Those who were known to be Bolsheviki had been arrested and would be expelled with the exception of those liable to

 Sir Herbert said he was anxious that the Palestinian people should be more closely associated in the ad ministration Great Britain, he as sured his hearers, intended to make provision for the government of Pal estine in an instrument which would be registered, with the League of Ma tions. The interests of the non Jewish population would be not only safeguarded by the mandate itself. but likewise in the instrument re- ferred to, in which the future con stitution of the country would be defined. sA
 In conclusion Sir Herbert said: T earnestly desire to see this land, the center of sacred associations for hundreds of millions of men, inhab tied by a people kindly and peace able. Most earnestly do I desire to see it progressing in quietness and harmony toward q prosperous and noble future Let the government and the people unite in their efforts for the sake of that ideal"
