NEGRO MURDERED SUNDAY
NIGHT

Sunday night about $50 o'clock. a
report OF pistol was heard in the
neighborhood of the rock crusher on
the lot just north of the foundry. In
meGiately after a man was seen run
ming south along the railroad track.
Negroes living in the neighborhood
started to investigate the cause of the
shooting. and shortly afterwards found
the body Of Robert Lawrence, a negro
man who has been for some time in
the employ of Messrs Ray & Thorn
sen, contractors.
The negroes Immediately called
over the phone and officers Bronson
and Morgan responded and found that
Lawrence had been shot in the back
with an automatic pistol Of 32-caliber,

heart and Killing him almost instant

Coroner Jeffcoat summoned a ju~y
composed Of Messrs Jack Thomson.
c. P. Howell, Jim Howell, Horace
Milestone, Guy Felts and .. w.
Creider TO examine the body of Law
renee and question witnesses in an
effc1t to ascertain who fired the shot.
Very little light was thrown on the
matter, however, as there were no
eye-witresses to the shooting and no
evidence given that would place the
blame on anyone.
James Hillman, one of the witness
es, stated that just about dark, while
walking on the road that crosses Tay-
lors pond, suddenly from the side of
the road a white man jumped out and
grabbed him by the wrist and wanted
to know if he was the man who had
hit him with rock a little while be-
fore. The man was a stranger to Mr..
Hillman and owing 20 the darkness
was unable tc~identify him. The man
told Hillman to stand in the road
where he was and guard that part of
It, while he went to get his gun, stat
ing that he was going to kill the negro
who had thrown the rock at him. Mr..
! Hillman described the man as being
rather short and slim, wearing light
trousers, white shirt and a white
straw hat, but as he had never seen
him before was not sure that he could
recognize him if he should see him
again.
enc cf the negro Witnesses stated
that the man he saw running down
the railroad track answered the de-
sc-ipticn given by Mr.. Hillman, that
/ Immediately after the report of the
pistol Lawrence was heard to cry out

wrong man. o Lordy, 0 Lordy."
This was practically all the evi-
dence that was brought out fer the
jury to act upon

peaceable negro and bore good repu.

Later
Since the killing as reported above
the officers have been making every
effort to locate the guilty person and
several arrests have been made.
Arthur Martin, young man for.
merly of Anthony, but now living in
North Ocala, was arrested as a sus-
pect Tuesday, along with two other
white boys, named McQuaig and
Whitesides. Two negro women are
also in Jail. and are being held prin-
cipally as witnesses. Mr. McQuaig,
however, has since been released, as
il appeared that he knew nothing
about the case.
No time has as yet been set for a
preliminary hearing, but it is pre-
sumed that it will be held within the
next few days.

REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT
 IN CONDITION OF BERNHARDT

Paris, Dec. 26.-(By The A. P0-The household of Sarah Bernhardt was ju- otant this evening over the remarkable improvement shown in the condition of l the famous actress The deep gloom which had settled down upon the fam lily and faithful followers of the star because of her illness was almost entire i iy dlspelled by the continued optimism 1 or her doctors, who have permitted Ma dame Bernhardt to sit up in her room twice, during the last 24 hours.
 Madame Bernhardt had Christmas din- ner last night with the members of her family and few intimate friends. She ate small piece of turkey and talked cherfully and hopefully of her return to the footlights. She was beginning to be- lieve, she said, that she would be spared to act ten years more, and she con- hded to several friends that she expect ed to assume her role in the new Guitry play which was about to be produced when she was stricken, in probably three weeks time.

The physicians smiled when Madame Bernhardt indulged in this three weeks i talk, merely saying, perhaps They 1 frankly stated, on the other hand, that the Divine Sarah's" condition was very weak, her long years of hard worl, on the boards having told upon her, and that 1t was quite possible it would be many months before she was able to ap- pear in publis. There are not lacking indeed, those who think Bernhardt may never act again.

Washington. Dec. 2G.-The solution of Americas foreign debt problem proposed by Otto IT. Kahn, the New York banker failed generally to strike q responsive chords today in official circles in Wash ington.

 Members of congress generally expres- sed decided opposition to the New York ! bankers suggestion that at least a DOT tion of the debt be cancelled, several leaders in both the senate and house de- claring that the American people were in no mood to approve any such action. The views Of Mir.

MOVEMENT TO DEVELOP THE
 CITY MANAGER GOVERNMENT

Lawrence, Mass, Dec. 26.-Greater de- velopment of the city manager form of governments, which 1t advocates point out, centralizes municipal responsibility and gives the citizens more service per tax dollar will be the object of the National City Managers association, which recent ly chose the University of Kansas as its national headquarters. A monthly mag azine devoted to efficient city administra- ton will be one of the methods used to further this idea in government, states John G. Stutz, secretary of the associa- tion.
 "In 1912, there were two cities with the manager form of government" Mir. Stutz says, Since that time, 2S7 cities in thirty-eight states representing 6 pop ulation of 5,500,000 have adopted the plan, Among the larger cities with this form of government are Cleveland.

Lausanne, Dec. 2s.-(By the A. P.)-- Armenia was the storm center of the Near East conference today. The Turks refused to attend a meeting of the sub commission which has arranged to hear Inc plea of the Armenians for the estab- lishment of a national home in Turkey, and both Ismet Pasha and Riza Nur Bey rent strongly worded communications to She conference .~ctesting against tho de- oision to allow the Armenians to state their case.
 They declared that if the Armenians. who had no official standing and repre- tented no indepen6snt govermet, were heard by the coference, there was no rason why the Egyptians or the Irish should not be allowed to present their demands.
 The so-called irregular Egyptian dele gztion has been waiting in Lausanne for more than a month fer permission to be heard by the conference and voice a de- maIid for the Independence of Egypt and complete withdrawal of the British army.
 The official meeting of tho sub-coIn- mission was postponed, and the repre- Bentatlves of the inviting powers, Great Britain, France and Italy listened to the Armenian spokesman, who suggested that a home be established in the northeast vilayets of Turkey, which should include historic Mount Ararat.
 It was impossible, he declared, for the proposed Armenian home to smalgamAts with the Armenian republic of Erivan, which had been taken over by the Mos COW sovietS. The ArmenianS would will ingIy accept the same relationship with Turkey as the dominions with England. In conclusion he asked for exemption from military service for the Armenians and urged, maintenance of the Orthodox patriarch in Constantinople.
 Noradunghlan Pasha, once Turkish foreign ministers, presented the Armenian plea He said that the tragic events of 1915 had widened the gulf between the rurks and the Armenians. The Young Turk government at that time had not only used unspeakable methods in dealing with those Armenians who were loyal subjects of the Ottoman empire, he as- serted, but they also lacked the most el- Afnentary understanding of the interests C their country.

Germany Defaults in Wood Deliveries
France, Belgium and Italy So Declare by Note-Britain Ballot Against It.

Paris, Dec. 26.-By The A. P.)- France gained an important victory in the allied separations commission today when the commission by a vote of 3 to declared Germany in voluntary default in her wood deliveries for 1922.
 Franct, Belgium and Italy voted in favor of the declaration, while Great Britain cast its ballot against it.
 The decision of the commission was immediately communicated to the allied governments for their action. It may have a vital effect on the reparations problem if France can regain the sup port of Italy and Belgium when the separations question is discussed at the January meeting of the premiers.
 The lone vote cast against the declar- ation by Great Britain was in accord opposed to declaring Germany in de- fault, in the fear that such action might have a disasterous effect on the already precarious state of German finance.
 France is considered to have scored an important point because the decision was by a majority vote. France had been alone for a long time in the con- tention that Germany could be placed in voluntary default by simple ma jority vote. Italy's support of France in the balloting came as a surprise and as an 1nQlCdIlOn IlldL IISllllSE 4t1uSSS-lii is swinging over to the French side in the separations controversy.
 Germany has carried out more than sixty per cent. of it's schedule of wood deliveries for this year. When the Ger man experts were before the commis- sion several weeks ago they announced that Germany had been unable to deliver more than she had and that the de- liveries for 1923 must be greatly reduc- Ted.
 There was much comment tonight over Great Britain's vote in view of the ap- preaching meeting of the premiers. Al though the deliveries of wood in them selves are of less importance than other matters connected with reparations, the
 French point out that today's decision
 is of real value to Frances position or I separations since it reverses the order
 of things and places Great Britain in ar isolated position on the issue.
 l Some of. the French observers affected tonight to see in the vote an indication
 that France, Italy and Belguim may present united front before Great Bri ] tain on the question of reparations al i the coming meeting here of the premiers

were serving in the Turkish army, there were many deportations of Armenians and suppression of great part of the Armenian population without the slight est pretext.
 we deeply regret that mutual distrust still exists between the Turks and the 'Armenians," he continued, "and that noth- ing is being done by Turkey to diminish the gravity of the situation. It is im- possible for us to consider as a solution that the refugee Armenians who are in foreign countries should return to Turkey, as Ismet suggests"
 It was only by the creation of an Ar menian home that the Armenia prob- lem could be solved, he Insisted.
 The Bulgarizns requested that 16o,- 900 Bulgaridns who had fled from Ori- ental Thrace should be permitted to re- turn to that country, which had become Turkish territory, and said they were ready to accept the same treatment as Turkish citizens.
 Biblical history came before the meet ing wheE the representatives of tae As syro Chaideans arose. Their people live In Mesopotamia, between Mosul and the Turkish frontier! they wish to main- tain their own language and customs and to be allowed to dwell in peoce. Gen eral Aghpitros, their chief spokesman said with dignity that history had proved that Adam and Eve were born in their country, and the early chapters of early life moved about the Assyro-Chaldeans
 Hopeful progress was made today on the problem of the Greek patriarch tc remain in Constantfnople as an autonom. ous archbishop, with the understanding that he would in no way represent polit- ical or administrative matters, or voice the ambitions or incarnate aspirations oi Greece; he would exist as a religious fig ure.
 The French argued that, the brusque removal of the Christian leader would cause an unpleasant feeling abroad to- wards the new Turkish state. The Turks later will give their views on this sugges. tion.
 The straits problem still remains un. settled, and there is general expectation however, that the straits question will bt solved, although Russia's ultimate att tude remains mystery.
