U. S. TRADE TO
EGYPT GROWS
Controversy On Cotton Car.
goes Watched With Much
Interest At Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt; Oct. LIB,
Mail)-The controversy between the
United States Shipping Board and
British shipping interests resulting
from h shipping boards demand
that American vessels shall have a
fair share of the cotton cargoes car.
ried from Alexandria to the United
States has been watched with intense
interest here.
American shipping interests ir
Egypt have grown rapidly within the
last few years. This is shown by the
fact that IS American vessels entered
this port in 1920. as compared to only
20 vessels entering here in the pre-.
vious year. In 1913 there were nc
American vessels calling here. In 1914
there was one and in 1918. three.
A similar increase is shown in the
through the Suez Canal. In the years
1913 and 1914 no such passages were
recorded but in 1920 the number ha6
reached 1852 American vessels.
American Offices Opened.
In consequence Of this increase, the
United States Shipping Board has
opened offices at Alexandria and Port
Said and the State Department at
ooAAAA6SoA lIoS CSCdOIAoiACo a COLlSOl-
ate, at Port Said. Americans nave
organized firms as agents and con-
tractors for American ships.
The increase in the trade between
America and Egypt has led to the
creation of a regular steamship ser
vice between these two countries. 1t
Is beginning to be understood here
that American exporters have learn
ed that without this steamship service
their b~usiness:is at the mercy of for-
eign shipping interests and that IT is
essential to the American exporter to
favor, without coddling the ship flying
the American11lag.
Americans here say that the Ameri-
can steamship service cannot be MAIN
tanned unless American ships can OBJ
tain a fair share of the only import
ant return cargo from Egypt. namely
cotton.
1t is felt here that American ship
ping circles do not properly appreci-
ate the significance of the Suez Canal
as a conveyance point in the worlds
traffic.. The British, on the other
hand have not failed to tote its i'm
their interests in shipping in the
hands Of a few powerful English firms
so that English ships loading-at any
eastern or western port can safely ac-
cept cargo for any destination and
use Port Said to their great advantage
as a point of transhipment.
Nature Of Complaint.
Complaint has been made that here
tofore American shipping interests
have. been handled by foreign and
rival which have other in
terests to consider before those of
American vessels. 1t has been urged

One Of the most interesting works
Of nature In Kansas from q geological
standpoint is known as castle Rock.
a natural formation located In Cove
county. In the valley OF the Hack
berry, about ten miles from its mouth.
This castelIated mass Is composed Of
a coping OF limestone and the shaft
Of chalk and compact shaIe. It's
unique formation was caused by the
shales wearing away. the strongly ce.
mented stone serving as a protection
to the upper surface. In this way
mountainous appearing passes are
frequently produced. especially where
streams cut their way through the
hard stone into the softer materials
below. Similar formations are met
with In Ellis county which show isolat-.
ed columns which rise from 10 to 10
feet in height. Blackmar's History Of

Woman Classified as
Psychopathic Liar
Acquitted of Murder
Lena Clarke Says She Was

Planets and in the Egypt
of Cleopatra's Day s
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ORLANDO, Fla, Dec 2.--It took the
jury, which had listened throughout a
ten-days' trial, barely more than an
hour to-day to return verdict of not
guilty IN the case of Lena Clarke and
Baxter II. Patterson, both of whom had
peen indicted by an Orange County
grand jury for the murder of Fred A
Mlltimore, who's dead body was found
IN the woman's room at local hotel
soon after her arrival here from West
Palm Beach on August /.
The woman was acquitted on the
grounds of insanity, and Patterson was
discharged because of q lack OF evil
dence proving his connection with the
crime.
In the course of the trial some Of
the most sensational and startling
testimony ever produced before a
Florida court was heard concerning the
accused woman's mental condition. She
was classified as constitutional psy-
chopath paranoid by expert alienists
for the defense, while the states alien
lists branded her a psychopathic liar.
She testified in her own behalf, and
told with remarkable poise how she re-
membered her feshly experiences in
other lives she had lived from the
Garden of Eden to the time when she
will be President of the United States
in 1928.
"The same flaming sword that sent
Adam and Eve from the Garden of
Eden was the sword that kept me with
in during my first life on EARTH" she
told the jury. "And | was present

ranged the solar system" I
