Report for Year Ending June 30
Shows Return to g. 8. Of
$121, 900 on Investment.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 25.-(By The
Associated Press.)-A return of
$121 900 to the government as in
terest on its investment, and a saw
ing of $3.50, 900 to the freight-paying
public are features to be included
in the annual report on the federal
barge service on the Mississippi
river, Theodore Brent, manager an
nounced today. The report is be-
ing prepared for the war depart
ment, and will be for the year end
ing last June 80.
The amount of freight carried
was l76 per cent more than during
the preceding year, Mr.. Brent
stated. The south-b bound tonnage
was 414,790 and the north-bound
4O,990.
In the last four months Of the
year, the upstream tonnage ex-
ceeded the downstream, which
caused Mr.. Brent to comment:
"This showing is particularly
gratifying because there has been
a fixed general belief that q barge
line on the Mississippi river could
attract no north-bound traffic, and
more particularly as old river
legends had branded upstream ton
mage as improbable"

Statement That France Has Been

War ArOuses Interest.

London, Oct. 25.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Considerable inter-
est has been aroused by Viscount
Grey's allusion, in his address al
Bradford last night, to France hav-
ing been "let down" by her Allies
since the World war. Viscount
Grey was British foreign secre-
tary at the outbreak of the war, re-
firing on the formation of the
Lloyd-George ministry in 1916.
Before we criticize Frances ac-
tons," he said, "let US realize the
facts. When peace was concluded
France had two agreements, one
with Great Britain, and one with
the United States, that she would
have the full support Of Britain
and America if attacked in the fu.
ture by Germany.
These were not included in the
treaty of Versailles, but they were
as much a part of the peace as was
the treaty of Versailles. They made
an enormous difference to France

"The great deal of trouble there

INDIAN WOMEN
GIVE UP VIGIL
IN CEMETERY Y
But Wyandotte Curse
Is Put Upon White
Mans Craue.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 25.-The
three Conley sisters, descendants OF
the Wyandotte Indians, have re-
turned to their homes. They are
no longer on the warpath. Last
night they did not renew their vigil
in the Huron cemetery, in the heart
OF the business district here, which
yesterday they sought to defend
with shotguns against what they
termed the unwarranted invasion
of white men. Today the body of a
white man lies in the old Indian
cemetery. He lies there under a
curse pronounced hL,H Helena Con-
ley as his body was lowered into
the grave yesterday.
Accompanied by two patrolmen,
the pallbearers bore the casket to-
ward the grave, when Helena Con-
ley stepped forward and raising
her right arm, declared sternly:
II forbid this burial. Take the
body away"
The pallbearers did not do so.
They lowered the body of Frank
Espey into the grave.
Helena then pronounced curse
which was incomprehensible to her
auditors, as it was uttered in the
Indian tongue, but it was baneful
and full of venom, as all listeners
could tell from the harshness OF
her voice and the waving of her
arms in the air. Helena walked
heavily away when the grave was
filled.
The three sisters, who had taken
up arms and guarded the grave
through the night, abandoned their
vigil when the burial party arrived.
For several years they have re-
sisted attempts to bury white per-
sons in the cemetery, which is an
old Wyandotte burial ground.
Get Commissioners "GOat.
The Indian maidens wore hand
kerchiefs over the lower part OF
their faces to foil newspaper pho
tographers.
The burial, which was to have
taken place yesterday. was defer
red when Harry Kaelin, park COM
missioner, ordered the partly dug
grave filled, after the sisters had
told him that the curse Of the
Wyandottes would fall upon him
should the burial proceed.
Kaelin later obtained consent for
the burial from officials of the Has
kell Institute for Indians at Law
renee, Kan.

MUST PAY DEBT TO j. S.--LL0YD GEORGE
FRENCH BLAME
BRITISH BANKS
FOR FRANC FALL
Say Buying of Dol.
lars in England
Caused Drop.

Paris, Oct. 25.-(By the Aseoci-
ated Press. THE buying of dol
lars by British banks with French
francs in their possession is said
by French financiers to be the prin-
cipal cause OF the present weak
ness of the franc. The dollars
were used by the British to pay the
interest on their war debt to the
United States.
Bankers and the financial author
tiles of the government appear un-
disturbed by the rise of the dollar
and the pound.
1T is rarely possible for one to
put ones fingers on the actual
financing exchange" high Off
cial Of the Bank of France said to
the Associated Press today.
When attempting to express him
self by using an American col
loquialism he said:
Finds HCOlOred Gentleman"
But this time we can locate
the colored gentleman in the
woodpile."
"The British banks and the
British treasury which have long
been accumulating French francs
have used them, as was their right
to do so, to buy the dollars they
needed, instead Of using pounds,
he continued. THE consequences
was that the payment of the big
~f MT IN
States has had no bad effect on the
pound. On the contrary, British
exchange profited by the subse-
quent depreciation of the franc"
The British bank, having dis
posed of their francs, can not re-
peat such an operation easily
again, it was pointed out. There
are other factors in the situation
which also are regarded as temp
orary, such as the large purchases
of wool and cotton in the United
States by French manufacturers.
Importations Encourage.
"They are not alone temporary
but they are immensely encourag-
ing" said the head Of the economic
research department of leading
French bank. "They show signs OF
revival of French industry. The
importation of such raw material
means the expectation Of the manu-
factnred product. '
II has been reported in France
recently that this country has
bought large quantities Of copper in
the United States. While the cop
per came from the United States
it was the property of Germans
who have contracted for over 120,-
100000 pounds on credit opera
ton. The value of such large
quantity at the present rate Of ex-
change is said to be worth more
than 100000. 100000 paper marks. u
The French iron and steel indus
try, according to further informa-
ton gathered by this research head
now is the slowest' of all French
industries but is showing signs of a
rapid recovery.
Speculation Not Cause.
Speculation has had little to dc
with the present movement" said
an important banker today. Spec
ulation simply followed the move
ment which was started by the
skillful British operations. Even
the situation in Germany had more
to do with it than speculation. The
tribulations of the debtor are al
ways an embarrassment to the
principal creditor. If We could
count on the payment of even part
of those sums which are owed us
by Germany the effect on our ex-
change would be considerable"

REED IS FACING
HARD FIGHT IN
MISSOURI RACE
State Is Afla,,,e: Re-
suit a Puzzle, La.u-
renee Says.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

tCopyrlght, 1922, by The Argus.)
St Louis, NO., Oct. 25.-Missou-
ri is aflame with the fires of per-
sonal and partisan rivalry in poll
tics such as no other state in the
union is experiencing this year.
!, The issue, in brief, is Jim Reed,
nominee on the Democratic ticket,
who will owe his election, il he
wins, to the support he viii get
from the Republicans of Missouri.
There are those who hate Jim
Reed with as intense a political
hate as has been visited on a pub
lie man. There are those who
would fight at the drop of hat
at the mention of his name In ad-
verse terms. Jim Reeds remark
able personality, his singular elo-
quence and power of persuasion
on the stump will have been re-
sponsible for victory If that be the
outcome. q
One says "if" with a feeling that
it ought to be eliminated. For on
canvassing people of all beliefs
and prejudices, the fear is much
more pronounced on the part of
Reeds Democratic opponents that
they will win than it is among
Republicans.
Situation in Tangle.
The League of Nations, the wet
and dry issue, the martyrdom of
a man who says that he paid the
penalty OF independence of judg-
ment when he incurred the dis
favor of Woodrow Wilson, and the
fact that Missouri was torn apart
by the bitter primary fight be-
tween Reed and Long-all this has
completely upset all calculations.
Men who have been able for years
to call the turn in Missouri cleo
tons throw up their hands in de-
spair-they have never seen such
a mixed up situation.
Reeds Strength
First of all, the forces behind
Jim Reed are these;
l. Practically all the Germans
and their kinsfolk, most of whom
are Republicans.
2. The wet" element of the state,
Democrats and Republicans.
3. The foes of the League Of Ma
tions-Democrats who have stuck
to Jim Reed throughout and many
Republicans who care more about
voting for man who helped kill
American participation in the
league than they care about party
affiliation,
4. Many Independents who like a
man Of Jim Reeds fighting quail
ties.
Summing up the forces behind
r. R. Brewster, the Republican can
didate, one finds:
and Rrewster's.
1. The regular Republican
strength minus, of course, those
who would desert temporarily to
help Jim Reed.
2. Most Of the Democratic wom-
en- who fought against Reed in the
primaries because Of various ref
erences in previous speeches by the
senator to women in politics.
3. Tens of thousands of men who
dislike Reeds career in politics and
