LAUSANNE, January 27-Marquis
Curzon. British foreign secretary,
speaking at this mornings session of
the near east conference. delivered a
scathing criticism of the Turks be-
cause Of their demand that the ceme-
teries containing the bodies of British
soldiers slain in the Gallipoli cam
paign be reduced in size. The Turks,
however, adhered to their stand.
Never VIII Yield.
Ismet Pasha said Turkey was Sec
ond to none In respect for the dead,
but that the British cemeteries were
unnecessarily large.
What England really desired, he
charged, was conservation of a battle
field. Moreover she was asking for
beach which once served for mill
tary operations and might be used
again for the same purpose
During the discussion Lord Curzon
said that Great Britain would never
give way on this question.
You cannot haggle over our soldier
dead" he exlaimed. You can haggle
over everything else, as you have,
but over dead, never!
I'VE are only too anxious to with
draw our troops from Constantinople

that not a man shall be moved until
this question Is settled in spirit

HIGHER PRICE EnRECAsT

A still higher price for cotton was predicted here today by Rev. J. Y. Miller of Birmingham, who passed through here, with Mrs. Miller, on their way to their home from Belle Nina, where they had been the guests of MT. and Mrs. George $. Houston. Rev. Miller expressed amazement at the shortage of the cotton crop. The cotton crops in some of the north Ala bama counties, he said, apparently had been cut in half. He said he found opinion general that the present high price levels would not only be main- tained, but likely would be exceeded Rev. Miller also expressed belief that if Congress would but lease Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford, the manufac- turer would begin work on the big project Immediately Nothing but strong pressure from the general pub lie will cause Congress to take this action, he thought.

Convict Accused Of Killing Fellow Prisoner Pleads h.
 sanity, Due, To Gassing
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERAs1 Mont fpnInerY Ala Dec. 8 |

Clarence Bailey, lifetime convict, was tried ih circuit court Monday on a charge of murdering James Culpepper, another convict, at Kiiby prison. November IA. Bailey entered a plea of insanity contending that he was gassed while serving with the 1e7th Infantry overseas and his mind had never been right since that time. The case went to the. jury late in the afternoon and no verdict has been rendered.
 Col. William H. Screws, commander of the 167th Infantry, was witness for the defendant. He said Bailey several times was sent into No Man's s Land in patrols and made a good rec ord, but that he was gassed and was invalided home. He could not say whether or not the gassing affected his mind.
 Bailey admitted that he had been involved in much trouble since he went to prison. He confessed killing a convict named Sudduth at Speigner. At that time he was serving a Sen tence for forgery. A jury in the El- more circuit court imposed a life sentence on him for the murder,
 Sudduth and Culpepper were killed by long knife. Bailey admitted that he made the knife with which he killed Culpepper while he was a prisoner at Kilby. He said he had words with Culpepper several days before the killing but that on the morning he stabbed Culpepper he did not renew the quarrel, but that Gull pepper came up to him and struck him in the face.
 Several convicts testified that Bailey had told them he intended to kill Culpepper. If Bailey is con- victed the death sentence must be imposed. Under the law a life time convict on conviction must suffer death.

SUMMER SCHOOLS FACE SHUTDOWN
Heads Of Class A Normals Meet With State. Superin-
 tendent On Situation
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 TIE AGE-HERALn Mnnf rnmerY Ala Dee. 3

Presidents of the class A normal schools gathered in Montgomery Monday for a conference with Dr. J. W. Abercrombe, state superinten- dent of education, frankly admitted that the summer courses at their schools are threatened by lack of funds. The object of the meeting with pr. Abercromie at the capitol was to devise ways and means for the continuance of these summer schools, which last season were at tended by thousands of Alabama teachers qualifying themselves for their work of the ensuing school year.
 Although there was some talk that at present these summer schools of financial support, the presidents and Dr. Abercronbie expressed tn. opinion that such a contingency was unthinkable and that some means would be devised for carrying on the work. Another conference will be held few weeks from now, it is understood, before the time ap- breaches early in 1924 for advertis- ing the summer courses for that year.
 Attending the conference were: Dr. H. J. Willingham, president of the Florence school; Dr. George W. Brock. president Of the Livingston school; Dr. G. W. Daugette, resident of the Jacksonville school, and IT. E. NJ. ShackeiIord, president of the Troy school
 It was stated by these men that their summer schools had hitherto functioned without any appropria- . tion whatever from the state, that no appropriation had been made at the last legislature. Last summer it is estimated that a total tl 7,500 teach CTS of Alabama had attended summer schools, mostly within the confines of the state. .Dr. Willin gham re- ported that as many as 1,07T5 teachers had attended sckool last summer at Florence. This was the largest number at any class A nor mai school. but the other schools re. ported good attendance ranging from 400 to the top figure of 1.o75 at the Florence school.

TO URGE DEVELOPMENT

A plea for imm mediate developm ent of the Mobile port will be made by E. A. O'Neal, president of the Ala . bama Farm Bureau federation, in the next issue of the Alabama Farm Bu- reau News which is the official pub lication of this organization, accord ing to information Monday l In his appeal Mir. O'Neal states briefly why it is to the advantage of the farmers of Alabama that devel- opment of the Mobile port be has tened. His statement is based upon personal investigationn of the Mobile port facilities, following which he went to New Orleans to inspect the port equipment there as a comparI- son.
 Is President O'Neal states the lack of development of the Mobile port is a serious handicap right now in the handling of fertilizers. which the farm bureau will import. His state ment in full follows:
 Handicap Already Faced.
 Lack of development of the Mo- bile port Is serious handicap to the farmers of Alabama. We are con fronted with this handicap right now.
 Tn 1923 the Alabama Farm Bu- reau federation imported over 10000 %rV UN 900 pounds, of fertilizer through Mo bile and Pensacola, and while we are mot in position to state definite fig ureS as to what we shall handle in 1924 the amount is certain to exceed, by far that of 1923. Upon investiga : tion we find that the Mobile port fa- cilities are not sufficient to handle this business as we would like for it to be handled, even though we expect to handle it that way.
 While in Mobile recently I made study of the equipment there, after which I went to New Orleans and made an inspection of the wharves, docks, warehouses and other port fla cilities there. The contrast was great. The New Orleans port is one of the best in the country but the Mobile port remains with minor de- velopment.
 "In view of this situation 1t is to the advantage of the farmers of Ala bama to urge immediate development of the Mobile port It will serve them in many more ways than in the handling of fertilizers. It is Ala bama's own great outlet to the sea; {; and, until it is developed, we are bottled up to such an extent that our business transactions with out siders are greatly handicapped.
 When the port amendment was before the farmers they cast an over whelming vote in favor of it, and l am sure that their interest in it has not waned, but that they favor speedy acion."
