"Ail for one and one for ALL
United we stand. divided we fall."
This earnest little speech, which
came straight from the honest McGuf,
fey's heart. brought the tears to the
commOdore's eyes. Under the inspira.
tion of McGuffey's unselfsh words the
glasses were refilled and all three
pledged their friendship anew. As for
Captain Scraggs, he was naturally Of
a cold and selfish disposition, and Nc
Guffey's toast appealed more to his
brain than to his heart. Had he known
what was to happen to him In the
days to come and what that simple
little motto was to mean In his par
ticular case, II is doubtful II he would
have tossed Off his liquor as gaily al

NOW WE HAVE CANARY JAZZ"
Six Thousand Birds, in Hold Of Ship,
introduced Now Music to New
York Dancers.

Canary jazz" is the latest In syn
copated music to be introduced to the
feet Of dance lovers. It was tried out
in the grand ballroom Of the steam
ship George Washington.
The George Washington reached
quarantine just after shutdown the 9TH
er night and was compelled to lay at
anchor until the next morning, before
proceeding to her Hoboken pier.
Forced to spend another night at sea.
the officers of the George Washington
arranged masked ball for the enter
tainment Of cabin passengers. With
Miss Regina Halter, dramatic so
prano from Cleveland, Ohio, who has
been singing abroad, Capt Harold Cum
bingham led the grand march.
The jazz music from the ships or
chestra disturbed the siumbers Of some
six thousand canaries In the hold. The
birds stood the music for a time and
then started warbllng themselves. The
shrlll notes of the yellow coated song
sters became real "raggy," and the
musicians in the orchestra ceased their
efforts. The dancers continued TO
glide around the ballroom to the bird
music. 1t proved a great hit-and
thus was born the canary jazz"

SMALLER AMOUNT
PAID IN TAXES
Drop From -$2s, 100000 To s11,-
600, 900 in Taxes To Fed
eral Government

Columbia, July 13.-South Caro-
linians paid only a little over
s11,OOO,0OO in taxes to the feder-
al government during the fiscal
wear ending June 80, 1922, as COM
pared with approximately $4,000
900 for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1921, according to figures OBJ
tanned from the department OF IN
ternal revenue yesterday.
During the fiscal year ending last
June 24,433 persons made income
tax returns to the government as
compared with about $4,000 for the
fiscal year of 1920. The returns
made this year were for 1921 in
comes. Out of the 24,433 returns
made this year a considerable num-
ber paid no tax.
The decrease in the total taxes
paid by South Carolina to the fed
eral government comes from the
dropping off in "excess profits" and
the repeal of other taxes in many
instances.

DENIED NEW TRIAL

Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Frank b.
DuPre, convicted of the murder of
Irby 6. Walker, private detective,
was denied a new trial in decision
today by the state supreme court.

last when he attempted to catch Du-
Pre- after the latter had snatched
$4,000 worth of diamonds from the
center of a local jewelry store. Ora
ham West, city comptroller, also was
shot and seriously wounded by Du-
Pre-, who was arrested in December
about two weeks later.

CASH PAYMENTS
OUT Of QUESTION
CAN NOT MEET OBLI-
GATIONs-PRESENTED TO AL.
LIED POWERS THROUGH REP
ARATIONs. COMMISSION IN
SESSION IN PARIS.

Paris, July 13.-Germany served
notice on the allied powers through
the reparations commission today that
she could no longer meet cash obliga-
tions of any sort, whether growing
out of the Versailles treaty stipula-
tions undertaken by acceptance of
the London ultimatum of May 5,
1921, or arranged by the schedule of
payments drawn up by the repara-
tions commission on March 21, 1922.
The depreciation of the mark on
foreign exchanges is GWEN as the rea-
son for the impossibility of Germany
to pay, and for her request that she
be relieved of cash engagements, in
cluding the payments Of 32,000,oOO
gold marks on Saturday, as well as
all subsequent payments in 1922, '23
and 1924.
The German note admitted to the
commission makes no mention OF
Germany's intention regarding cash
payments after 1924, but asks that
the negotiations for foreign loan
interrupted at Paris last month,
which Germany blames for the con-
tinued fall of the mark, be resumed
at the earliest possible date, or a fin
ancial, economic and social catastro-
phe in Germany is likely to develop.
The reparation commission will de-
eide today whether Germany must
meet the July Is payments, but will
make no ruling as to a further mora
torium until it receives the report of
the committee on guarantees now in
Berlin.
