patch from Cairo printed to-day in the
Chicago Daily NeaoS told of the sentence
OF twenty years meted out to Charles
r. Crane by French military court In

"A notice in the newspapers" the dis
patch continued. quoting the official

Government has been notified of the
verdict. According to the newspapers
the court held that Mr.. Crane was equally
responsible with numerous .Syrians who
are serving terms in prison on account
of the outbreak.

Gently arrested in Damascus because
she was pupil OF Miss Nazid Aabed, a
Moslem> teacher involved In the dis
turbances. Miss Aabed was one OF the
women selected. by Mr.. Crane to receive
educational benefits in the United States.
His check for.s$1. 900 to defray her
travelling expenses prompted the charge
that the American Government was
subsdizing the Syrian malcontents. !
'iShe was arrested, but. escaped.
Gendarmes arrested the Rahwandji girl
in the hope of learning Miss Aabed's
whereabouts. They locked her UP, for
two hours In an empty tomb. She was
then taken back to prison in state OF

contended also that = German export

FIFTY WERE KILLED
In DAMASCUS RIOT
200 Wounded in Clashes Be-
tlOeen Syrians and French.

DAMASCUS, Syria, May 25 (Associated
Press).-It is estimated that fifty per-
sons were killed and 200 wounded in
the three day encounters between French
soldiers and natives in consequence Of
the political demonstrations and disor-
ders which occurred here. Although
martial law was proclaimed the French
military authorities did not regain con-
troll Of the 'city~for several days.
The main facts were reported by cable
at that time Particulars now available
show that the trouble started with the
arrest and Imprisonment of DR.. Abdul
Rahman Shahbander. the Gandhi of Sy-
ria, ad six other Syrian people, who as
delegates had placed the grievances of
the Syrian. people before Charles r.
Crane.
The delegates had an interview with
Mr.. Crane at his hotel and complained
to him of the new taxation, showing
by figures how a man letting a house
for $50 a month would have to pay
taxes for, 1t amounting to $22. They
also described to him the conditions of
the slaw courts and complained of re-
strictions of personal freedom and of
the press.

is that the great majority of ex-service
men who are in sympathy with the
demands of the American Legion off,
cials do not favor it because 1T does
not carry any immediate cash bene-
fits. Spokesman for the American Lee
gion bluntly informed Mr.. McCumber
and his associates that they would not
accept the paid up insurance certifi-
Gates unless they possess borrowing
value.
These spokesmen said the same
thing when the House Ways and
Means Committee abandoned the cash
bonus scheme, They further declared
their opposition to the certificate loan
and then accepted it.
MANY Senators who have watched
the American Legion officials surren-
der point after point, ridge after ridge
and trench after trench in the bonus
fight, believe they will accept any
thing they can get in the form Of
bonus legislation. Their recent atti-
tude has been to hold out for the max
imum Of benefits proposed, but to take
the minimum II necessary.
Financing Plan Vague.
1t is this knowledge Of the situation
that encourages many Senators to be-
lieve the paid up insurance certificate
plan will finally pop out of the box"
and be recommended to the President
He will be urged to sign the bill on
the ground that it will not interfere
with his ambition to keep the pledge
Of his party to administer the affairs
Of the Government on basis of sound
economy.
If any bonus Senator has evolved an
acceptable plan for financing bonus
bill, he has kept it pretty carefully
under cover. The one idea to which
most Of the bonus Senators cling is
that repayments on account Of the
foreign debt can be used for the pur-
pose. The President and Secretary
Mellon have clearly pointed out that
this method is neither feasible nor de-
sirable. The bonus Senators think
otherwise.

been made by the French Government
Of the State Department as to the pre-
else status of Charles r. Crane, who
for the last six months has been con-
Quoting an inquiry into conditions In

Mr.. Crane was acting entirely on his
own initiative and authority and was
without any Government commission.
Neither the State Department nor the
French Embassy had received any word
to-day as to the reported action of a
French military court in sentencing Mr..
Crane to twenty years imprisonment on
a charge of melting recent disturbA noes

BANK BORROWERS
 MUST CROWIF[FD
FARMERS ARE WARNED
Three Local Institutions Join in Notice that No Credit will be
 Extended to Buy Feed.

That no bank credit will be ex- tended next year to Faulkner county farmers who fail to produce enough feed to supply themselves this year is the solemn warning, in an advertise ment published in the Log Cabin Democrat and also printed in circu- lar form, issued by the Bank of Con- way, the Faulkner County Bank & Trust Company and the Farmers State Band.
 Eight cars of feed were shipped in here the last week in March, the notice reads.
 At this rate, the feed bought in 1922 will cost several times as much as the entire taxes collected in the county, including road taxes.
 If you desire to go back to the credit merchant, just show up next spring without your feed We are through furnishing men to buy things their neighbors raise. We know you can raise it, too, if you try
 Don't forget-we are through help ing customers buy feed. We hate to see you trade on a credit, but a man who won't raise feed belongs in that class.
 "Of course, if you raise your feed, this does not apply to you, and we know you endorse the above. So please pass it on to the ones who need it.

Nadia Ostrovska, who plays oppo- site David Powell, the featured play CT in "The Mystery Road" new Paramount picture filmed in Lon- don and in southern France, which comes to the Ideal tomorrow, matinee and night, is a we'll known London stage beauty of exceptional mimetic talents. The story largely deals with the trials of Myrtle Sargot, portray ed by Miss May, little French peas ant girl, before whose cottage stretch es long white road, which, blank as that of her future, beckons her on with it's suggestion of mystery and romance. Her mother having died, and her drunken father being anxious to marry the keeper of low cabaret, he determines to dispose of the girl by marrying her to Pierre Naval, a stolid, drunken boor, quite unfitted to be the mate of any charming girl. In flight down "The Mystery Road" she seeks freedom and meets her fate. David Powell has the leading role.

BOARD SUBMITTED HENDRIX REPORTS TRUSTEES ASSEMBLEHERE Dr. Reynolds and Treasurer McClurkin Submit Reports for Year-l5
 Trustees Attend.

Convened shortly before noon to- day at the home of the president, the board of trustees of Hendrix College heard reports by Dr. John Hugh Rey- holds, the president, and Treasurer J. l. McClurkin, covering in detail the work of the institution during the past year. The after business ses- sion of the board was set to start at 2 o'clock and adjournment taken in time for the visiting trustees to re- turn home at $40. Dr. James Thomas is chairman and former Governor George w. Donaghey is vice chairman of the board. V. D. Hill of Conway is secretary.
 In attendance at the meeting of the trustees are, besides Dr. Thomas and MT. Donaghey: Dr. Phillip Cone Fletcher, R. W. Mckay, c. N. Baker and Harvey T. Harrison of Little Rock, Rev. J. B. Stevenson of Rus sellville, Rev. W. L. Oliver of Benton vile, Rev. William Sherman of For rest City, Dr. Edward R. Steele of Pine Bluff, Rev. A. E. Holloway of Searcy, T. A. Johnson of Dardanelle, and V. D. Hill, G. L. Banner, Rev. C. M. Reyes and Dr. F. S. H. John ston of Conway, with Dr. Reynolds and Mir. McClurkin as eX-officio.
 It is understood that number of important recommendation were sub- mitted to the board by Dr. Reynolds for changes in the work of the in- stitution. Dr. Reynolds in a recent statement to the Log Cabin Democrat advocated separation of the academy from the college and it's establishment on separate site in Conway, or it's total abolition. The college must con- centrate it's resources on collegiate work, Dr. Reynolds said, in order to maintain and enlarge its recognition. Options have been taken on several pieces of property in Conway to faci- litate action should the trustees vote to establish an academy independent of the college here.
 MT. McClurkin's report covered the finances of the college of the year, with particular reference to collections from pledges made to the college dur ing the Christian education and other movements.
