INDIA IN D|SCOBD
REGARDING MUSIC
Trouble Dates Back to 1882
When Mosque Was Built
in Hindu Section.

BANGALoRE. India, Feb. 81
Friction between Hindu and Mos.
lem communities has resulted in
serious disturbances in Tiptur, in
Mysore province, during recent
weeks. Numerous assaults have
been reported, and on several occa-
sions the shops have had to close
their doors.
The cause of these disturbances
lies in part in the differing atti-
tudes Of Hindus and Mohammedans
regarding music. Hindu religious
ceremonies are usually accompanied
by music. Mohammedans have no
music at their services, and are Sc
riously disturbed when interrupted
by musical sounds.
In 1882 the government permit
ted the reconstruction of a mosque
within the Hindu quarters, with the
distinct understanding that the Mo-
hammedans should on no account
object to professions with music
passing in front thereof.
The Mohammedans now contend
that since music was never played
before this mosque from 1882 to
almost the present time, permission
should always be disallowed for pro-
cessions with music In that place
The Hindus, on the other hand,
have been asking since 1920 for per-
mission to take an image in process
sion in the streets, absolutely with
out restrictions. The government.
after prolonged inquiry, decided
to admit the Hindu claim.
The present trouble began at the
time OF the Dusserah procession
last September. On this occasion
the government refused to grant a
license on account of the excited
feelings of both communities and
the influx Of irresponsible crowds
in the city.
In the following month. however.
a procession was allowed. Before
the procession occurred the Moham-
medans left the mosque in a body
as protest and the procession
passed quietly.
This incident led to high feelings
between the two communities.
Many individual assaults occurred
and general apprehensions of a
breach of the peace were prevalent.
On account of threatened violence
the Hindu shops were closed for
two days.

Double Tragedy Of Sea Comes
When Sailors DivuIge Their
Love of Tickle Mary in Boston
PHOTO BRINGS REVELATION
Loser in Dice Throw Finds
Grave in Ocean, and Winner
Ends His Life With Poison

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 3.-Two
brothers, pair of dice, photo
graph of a pretty girl and two
suicides figure in this story of
love and of the sea.
George and Charlie Allen were
men of the sea. They had sailed
the ocean for several years, but
on different ships. A short time
ago they met on the same ship.
They had not seen each other for
more than a year. It was a happy
!, meeting.
THE GIRLS PICTURE.
Now comes the story as told by
Captain Ashley. of the steamer Hy-
patia, which was in this port a
few days ago for cargo.
After the Allen brothers had ex-
changed greetings and talked about
old times Charlie produced photo
graph Of q pretty girl. She lived in
Boston, from which port the ship
on which the brothers had cast
their lots, had sailed.
Charlie told George he intended
to marry the girl. He dearly loved
her, he said. George took look at
the picture and received the shock
OF his life. It was the girl he, too,
intended to marry.
George kept his secret for a time,
but q few nights later he and Char
lie went ashore in "a Southern port
and they began to talk about the
girl. George claimed to have known
her before his brother did. Charlie
claimed the girl loved him and did
not love George.
They finally agreed to shoot dice
for the girl It was agreed that
the loser was to give her up alto
gether. He was to write to her
and tell her he would have moth.
ing more to do with her. Fate was
against Charlie and the dice were
good to George.
A few nights later, while their
ship was again on the seas, Charlie
disappeared. He had jumped over
board. He left no word behind him
70 explain why he ended his life.
his 1shipmates were Inystified.
there was one man on board who
neid the key to the mystery. It
was George Allen. He said moth
ing. - 80.
After his brothers death, George
lost interest in life. He, too, was
OF a cheerful disposition, but the
sudden departure OF his brother
left him dull and inactive. He left
the boat from which his brother
had leaped into tine sea and secured
q berth on the Hypatia.
SURVIVOR TAKES POISON.
He was taken violently i'll one
night while the ship was en- route
to Norfolk. 1t was only a few
days ago. When his skipper and
ehipmates gathered around his
bunk. he told them he was going
to die.
II have swallowed enough bi.
chloride Of mercury to kin six
men," he told his shipmates.
Then he unfolded the story of his
brothers death; of their love for
the same girl. He recited the dice
game with the girl as the stake.
II was responsible for NV broth
ers' DEATH" he told his shfpmates.
He loved Mary and so did I. We
gambled for her and I won, but I
am sorry we gambled I have no
desire now to live. / want to die
and am going to die. Nothing
can save me-"
George did die a few hours after
startling his shipmates with the
story of his brothers death.

THE LIMELIGMT ON ALASKA

Not s'nce the United States
bought Alaska from Russia at the
close of the Civil War, has public
attention been so directly focused
on il as through President Hard
ing's visit there. For some time
suspicion has been growing that
we have not made a great success
in Alaska. 1t is disappointing that
land Astounding in great natural
resources should show a'loss of ten
Thousand population in the last de-
cade.
Two striking accomplishments
however, stand to our credit in
Alaska. Thirty years ago there
were only wild reindeer or carbon
there. by interbreeding the do
mesticated and wild varieties, an
animal superior to both has been
produced. These reindeer now
number two million and form a
great economic asset.
Another achievement is the con-
structiOn of the government rail
rcad. This not only is a remark
able feat Of engineering. but prom
Uses great economic development.
Although President Harding did
not attempt an exhaustive report in
Seattle, his Impressions were high
ly suggestive. He finds Alaska
pre-eminent in scenic beauty, in
natural resources and in quality Of
population. Such a people deserve
that their territory be spared ruin
Gus exploitation.
Any sweeping reorganization is
not to be thought OF maintains the
President for steady and normal
ylCgress is much better than 4
mushroom growth based on loot
ing of resources.
In some ways there has been too
much conservation in Alaska. 1t
has had the effect of hampering
natural growth. A case in point is
the severe restriction on timber
cutting, which the President be-
l.eves should be eased off.
In salmon fishing just the oppo-
site policy is urged. Conservation
i,as been somewhat effective here
through the establishment of coast
reserves, hut further restriction is
necessary, II the wealth of hatch
cries and streams is to be main
taired at the desired level
Coal mining can wait, the Pres
idcnt believes, but highway build
ing and agriculture should be
rushed, through the jointure Of
local endeavor and Federal aid.
The line of communication should
he shortened between Alaska and
ashington.
Alaska has a great future, says
the President, but it should not be
fampered by utopian panaceas.
It's great natural wealth should be
the inspiration for judicious de
velopment. The end of the terr.-
tt rial trail for Alaska is naturally

"That's fne!" nodded her majesty,

But remember, you and Nancy will

"Goodby!" called Nancy. Il
"GoodRy!" cried Nick.
And away they went on their new,

Pretty soon they came to the bur-
dock patch and without any trouble
found Pee Wee Land at once.
They found King Snookums sit
