DUNCAN COOPER DEAD

Col. Duncan B. Cooper, for 40
years a conspicuous figure in Ten
nessee politics, died in Nashville Sat
urday night, after a short illness.
Col. Cooper had been quite feeble for
several months. In fact, q steady
decline had been noticed by his
friends since the tragic death of his
son, Robin Cooper, three years ago.
Col. Cooper was 80 years old. He
was the last of a line Of distin-
guished Tennesseans who bore the
name Of Cooper. One brother, Ed
mund, was long chancellor in Ten
nessee. He died at the age Of 80,
Another, William, was a justice Of
the supreme court of Tennessee,
Still another, Henry, served from
1867 to 1873 as a United States sena-
ator from Tennessee and was later
killed by Mexican banditti.
AS boy Col. Cooper followed
the fortunes Of the Confedracy and
made dashing soldier. He was born
in Maury county.
Though educated for the law, Col.
Cooper was a man Of great versatil-
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-11-09

ity. He was for a time the owner Of
the Nashville American. He took a
deep interest in politics.
Col. Cooper is best remembered
BY many Tennesseans as the central
figure in the noted Carmack case:
IT was November 9, 1908, that Sena-
tor Carmack was killed IN Nashville
in an engagement with Col. Cooper
and his son, Robin. Both were in
dicted. After a long trial both were
convicted and sentenced to 20 years.
The supreme court affirmed the sem
tence as to Col Cooper and reversed
It as to Robin. This was followed by
the immediate pardon of Col. Cooper
by Gov. Malcolm R. Patterson.
The pardon Of Col. Cooper became
an issue in Tennessee politics and is
still often referred to.
Among Col Cooper's children were
Mrs. Lucius E. Burch, of Nashcille,
and Mrs. Charles N. Burch, of Mem
phis. Mrs. Charles N. Burch died a
number of years ago. Robin was
killed in Nashville. Duncan, JY.,
lives in Mobile. A granddaughter,
Mrs. Thomas w. Vinton, lives in
Memphis.

Warden S Wife Held
 Up Escaping Convicts

Paris. Jan. 27-Fow a young wom- an fought for an hour with a num- Der of armed ConVicts and prevented them from breaking out of jail at Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, was told here recently.
 The convicts had escaped from their cells by knocking down and serious ly injuring two guards who were bringing the evening meal. Under the leadership of convicted mur- derer named Fogacci, they bound the other guards and locked them in the guard room. Then they rushed into the warden's office. through which . they had to pass to get to the main gates of the prison.
 The warden was wounded by the convicts, but his wife, Colombo Rug Rieri a dark-haired woman full Of that courage for which CorsiCan wom- en are far-famed seized her husbands reyolvers and rushed out to meet the conyicts. The latter were armed with rifles taken from the guards, and with huge steel bars which they found lying around. Mime Ruggleri was fine first to fire, hitting the leader, F'o vacci She then profted by the con fusion to shut the door of the office and barricade 1t.
 A second attempt was made by the conyicts to escape, but by that time Mme. Ruggieri was reinforced by gen darmes whom she had summoned over +he telephone. Two of the gen darmes were wounded before the nu- tiny was quelled.

!. !. 5. HELPS PAY GERMAN DEBTS
 BY IMPORTS
Berlin Collects Tax on Pur- chases By Foreigners To Meet Indemnity Bills of Allies.

New York, Jan. S7-How Germany IS forcing American importers to pay part of the separations indemnity is revealed by the new schedule of German export regulations, which has just reached here.
 For each Germany industry there IS now a ratio of prices for export in every case higher and in most cases considerably higher. than the domes- JIG price for the same mercha ndise, and the exportation of an kind of merchandise is strictly prohibited ex- cept after proper licensing
 Each shipment must be accoYn- panied by an export license, which is granted only after the exporter testlHes to the sale price and to the inland or domestic price. The diff Terence between the two prices does not go into the pocket of the eX- porter, but is taken up a tax by the German government.
 Officials of the German govern ment have explained that this set of regulations is only a necessary devel- opment of the agreement to pay the Allies 26 per cent. of all exports as a fund for separations.
 They add that these taxes are kept up also to counteract the charge that Germany is dumping goods at low prices into foreign countries. This charge of dumping has already re- suited in discriminatory tariff walls being erected in a number of cOun- tries against the importation of Ger man goods.

PIE IS BANNED FROM SCHOOL LUNCH BY
 COLLEGE EXPERTS

Columbus, Ohio. Jan. 27-Pie must go.
 At least, it must not be placed in the school lunch box.
 This is the edict of nutrition {, workers at the Ohio State Univer- sity.
 'Nutritiona1 investigation shows that starchy foods, mixed with fats, are among the hardest on the chifd's digestion" declared { Miss Minnie Price, assistant State home demonstration leader
 ''Pie falls definitely within this class, particularly when hastily made and served cold and soggy.
 Compared to other better des- serrts, pie is expensive, hard to make, and almost impossible to pack properly into school iunch,' continued Miss Price. ''It does not contain food elements necessary to round out the noon day meal It takes up room in the lunch box which might other- wise be given to desirable dessert dishes"
 These nutrition experts ex- pressed belief that pie should be replaced in the school lunch by cup custard, or fruit, or preserve and jelly sandwiches

U. 5. WARSHIPS WON'T IGNORE
 SUBMARINES
All Fighting Ships To Be Equipped With Depth Charges; Mines Kept in Reserve.
By T. N. SANDIFER, International News Service Staff Cor
 respondent.

Washington, Jan. 27-AIthough un- der the rules adopted by the Arms Conference the submarine has been technically robbed of some of it's principal terrors the United States Navy IS losing no time in preparing 70 deal With that weapon should an otnef emergency arise.
 The American Navy during the World War had ample opportunity to get hrst-hand information as to the among the officers having such war experience there are no illusions as to that vessels ability.
 Two of the most efficient weapons against the German submarines were developed by Americans during the war. md these weapons are still re- garded as of maximum effect They are the depth bomb and the mine American naval officers used both in the war with considerable effect. and one of the outstanding feats of that conflict was the North Sea barrage of mines, in which work the Americans had a major share.
 Experts Improve Device.
 Accordingly all destroyers not a1- ready equipped are now being sup piled with an allowance of denth charges No new rnanufacture of tbis device has been undertaken since the war, but ordnance experts are work ing on improved types and are mak- ing satisfactory progress in this de- ve1Opment
 The armistice found the Navy with considerable material for mine op- erations on hand. These mines were manufactured prirrla riIv for use against German submarines Since the war experts have overhauled all this material, effecting Improvements and otherwise putting in condition the mines and mining equipment for fu- ture use if necessary
 New suggestions are consta ntIy pour ing in regarding all sorts of war de- vices and in these have been ideas on mines which have all found their use in the navy scheme.
 Incidentally the same naval experts are working constantly now on de- tails of aircraft attack and defense from the naval viewpoint Especial attention has been given to iIlumin- ating devices, new sights and similar material.
