Fro m Wagon

washington, April 25.--Mrs. Cecil
Huffman. who resides on a farm
near here. met with serious acci-
dent when the wagon on which she
was riding struck sinkhole in the
heart of washington. The road was
full of mud, and the hole was not
noticed until the front wheels

triple box, was pitched to the ground
with such force that one limb was
injured. Only the mud saved her

voted in March cannot be legally is
sued and sold pending the settle
ment of the old lawsuit appears to
be correct, and the result is that the
proposed sale of the bonds has been
abandoned ana the. erection of the
proposed new school building will be
delayed indefinitely

CONGRESS READY
TO END SESSION
FINAL TOUCHES GIVEN LATE
Observation-Disclosures TO
COME BACK AT CALL OF
PRESIDENT HARDING-DYER
BILL GOES OVER

Washington, Sept. 21.-Final
touches were given in congress to-
day to last moment legislation and
leaders predicted adjournment sine
die some time tomorrow afternoon
releasing members for the election
campaign and homo affairs until
the prospective call by President
Harding for a special session about
November Is.
The deficiency appropriation bill
tonight was the only important bill
on Republican leaders program for
passage before adjournmenEA This
bill was passed today by the senate
and after the conference report to-
morrow, the adjournment gavels
are due to fall. The house resolu-
ton arranging for adjournment at
2 o'clock was given today to Chair
man Warren of the appropriations
committe to present to the senate
for adoption upon completion of
the deficiency bill. 1t was hoped
that the senate could adjourn by 2
o'clock, but leaders were prepared
to defer adjournment an hour or
two longer.
President Harding was expected
to attend the closing hour of con-
gress to sign the deficiency measure
and other minor papers.
Postponement of action of two
other important bills before the
administration measure to loan SIS,
100000 to Liberia and the Dyer
anti-lynching bill appeared to be
certain. Republican leaders said
opposition and protracted speeches
begun today would prevent votes
being reached on both bills.
Opponents Of the anti-lynching
hill late today in the senate won the
first ski17nish after one of the most
involved and lively parliamentary
snarls in years. They headed off for
several hours a speech by Senator
Shortridge of California in favor
of the Dyer measure, Senator Har-
rison of Mississippi finally winning
the floor for a long speech over the
protests of Senator Shortridge and
a dozen other Republicans. Calls
of a quorum, roll.

PLANS TOPRO7EST
SEARCH Of SHIPS
TO NO LONGER OVER
LOOK SEIZURES-MORE I'M
PORTANT ISSUES INVOLVED
THAN LIQUOR SMUGGLING,
BRITISH CONTEND.

Washington Sept. 21.-Unless
the defendants take an appeal from
the decision of the federal court in
Boston yesterday and permit a
higher tribunal to pass upon the
claim of the American prohibition
navy to jurisdiction over The seas
beyond the three mile limit the
British government is expected here
to take up the subject diplomatic
ally with the state department.
Up to the present the British en-
bassy has confined itself to requests
for information as to the facts con-
nected with the several seizures and
searches of vesseals under the Brit
ish flag by prohibition agents and
has made no appearance in the re-
sulting legal proceeding.
A complete lack of sympathy
with the operation of the rum rum
ners on the part of the British Off
cials is said to have caused the as
sumption of the attitude but now
that cases have begun to emerge
from the court dockets throwing the
weight of judicial decisions behind
the claim of extended high seas
jurisdiction it is understood there
is to be a change in the course of
the London government.
1t is the British contention that
the issue raised by the court deci-
sion yesterday IN Boston in the case
of the British schoopers Grace and
Ruby, which were held for rum SELL
ing beyond the three mile limit, are
far more grave and important than
any mere question of the punish
ment of a few smugglers or the en-
forcement of domestic customs laws.
In the British view there is in
volved the creator question of free
dom of the high seas. If it is posi-
bic for any nation to extend its
Jurisdiction beyond the old recog-
nized limits at it's own pleasure and
without reference to the other
maritime powers it is regarded by
the British, as highly important that
some understanding should be
reached as to the extent of the pow
ers claimed.

GREATEST DISASTER
IN HISTORY Of ASIA
$4,000 SURVIVORS LEFT TO
STARVE IN SMYRNA-NOV VES-
Sell OFFER TO SALVAGE LAST
WRECKAGE OF HUMAN LIFE.
BODIES LINE STREETS.

Smyrna, Sept. 21-Although eight
days have elapsed since fire oblit-
Grated Smyrna, $4,000 survivors re-
main exposed on the quays, destitute
distracted and abandoned. No allied
vessel has offered to salvage this
last wreckage of human life in the
greatest disaster in Asia's history.
Nearly a dozen warships remain
in the harbor, but none show dis
position to aid the wretched popula-
tion except the American destroyers.
Deportations continue and Turkish
soldiers are beginning to carry off
the Greek and Armenian girls.
Sporadic shooting and the crimes
continue. Smoke is emerging from
the ruins. The Turkish authorities
explain that this is due to the burn
ing of human bodies. DR.. Wilfred
Post, Of New York, medical director
of the Near East Relief, has urged
the Turks to bury their dead, in Or
der to prevent pestilence. He also
has appealed to them to vaccinate
every one, in order to guard against
cholera and smallpox.
Interviewed by The Associated
Press today, DR.. Post said:
"It is regrettable that the allied
ships did not do more in salvaging
human life. The work on all the ves-
sells on the night of the fire was
magnificent, but on the succeeding
days, when the impulse of the great
disaster disappeared, there was
lull in their energy and spirit.
"If we had kept up the work there
would be no evacuation problem and
thousands would have been saved
who might otherwise be deported or
killed. Even before the fire there
was indiscriminate killing and loot
ing. There are so many bodies in the
streets that had on one occasion to
light from my automobile to lift
the corpses out of the path of the
car. No words could describe the fire
as spectacle.
at was like gigantic scene
staged by Nero or like chapter
from Tamerlane. It was so vast and
complete that it had every appear
ance of being malevolently planned
in advance"

EXPECTING RISE
|NcO11ON PRICE
WAREHOUSE COM MISSION Err
TALKS OF FORTY CENTS-A
GAIN FROM $25 TO $50 MAY
RESULT IN FEW WEEKS, MR..
RIVERS THINKS. -

Columbia, Sept. 21.-Cotton at 35
or 40 cents a pound before another
year is "entirely within the bounds
of reason" according to J. Clifton
Rivers, warehouse commissioner, in
a statement issued yesterday. Z.
Mr.. Rivers urges farmers to go
slow in offering their cotton for sale
as he expects gain of from $25 to
$50 a bale within a few weeks.
In discussing the general situation
Mr.. Rivers made the following state
ment: .s3.'s...
knowing that it is not good pol
icy to advise people concerning the
future prices of cotton, have re-
Trained so far this year from appear
ing in the public prints, but condi-
tions have forced themselves upon US
and in the face of a market steady
and strong, with the sale Of Texas
cotton at the rate of $4,000 bales per
day, together with an Industrial
situation, the like of which at mar
keting time the cotton belt has
never experienced, it is time for
somebody to sit up and take notice.
"Cotton with all this TRADE Of
selling and violent bearish circum-
stances has remained steady at
price around % cents per pound;
therefore, those who have studied
the situation are convinced that as
soon as the supply begins to dinin-
ish and the industrial situation has
prospect of settling, a great deal
higher prices than at present will be
realized for spot cotton.
"It, therefore, behooves every far
mer who has bale of cotton to 60
slow in offering it for sale, as a few
weeks, in the opinion of the writer,
will show gain of $25 to $50 per
bale in the amount realized from
such sale. Store your cotton in a
state warehouse and get receipt is-
sued by the state and relieve your
selves of your liabilities and watch
your product increase in value short
ly by leaps and bounds, at a mini
mum cost. 1t is entirely within the
bounds of reason to predict that cot
ton will bring 35 to 40 cents per
pound before another year, and this
increase in value should be turned
into the hands of the farmers rather
than into the hands of the cotton
spectators. Sell just as little cotton
at present prices as you possibly can
and store and hold for a few weeks
and realize the profit, which in my
opinion and in the opinion Of others
who have studied the situation,
will be a great increase over the
present price"
