 JUMPS TO DEATH FROM CAPITAL MONUMENT
Young Man Leaps From Top Of
 Washington Memorial

WASHINGTON. March 9.-A young white man, believed to have been A. Bernie Setp, a war veteran, leaped to his death from the observation tower of Washington monument early this afternoon.
 Monument attendants expressed the belief that the man could not have fallen from the window, since it iJ narrow and it's sill four feet above the floor. The mans clothing was marked "A. Berney Seip," and his pockets contained 60 cents, but no other marks to identify him were found.
 This is said to be the second sui eide on record at the monument and the first time anyone has leaped from one of the windows. which are about 800 feet from the ground. The other suicide was that of Virginia woman who plunged down the elevator shaft in 1915. Ten years prior to that a painter working on the monument was accidentally killed in fall.

2 DISPUTES THREATEN TO MAR FRIENDLY TIE
Ambassador Harvey Precipitates
 Rather Unpleasant Situation

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The United States and Great Britain have come to loggerheads on two interna- tional disputes wnIcE threaten to mar good feeling between the two nations following the British debt settlement.
 The first cause of friction is the Newcastle question, resulting from the action of Great Britain last Au- gust in cancellinG the exequators of the American consu1s, Fred c. Slater and Russell M. Brooks, at Newcastle, England, on the grounds that they were seeking to divert traffic to American steamship lines.
 An investigation of the charges of the British government resulted in this government finding them with out foundation. Demand was made that Great Britain publicly clear the consuls. This she refused to do and Secretary of State Hughes in sharp note last week announced the consu- late would remain closed. This caused Lord Curzon, British foreign secre tary, to send an equally curt reply, declaring that Great Britain simply considered the two consuls persona non grata and that was sufficient reason for cancelling their official standing. Officials here attached significance to the statement in the House of Commons yesterday by Da- vid Adams. laborite, who stated the charges against the American con- suls were trumped up by British steamship interests.
 The second dispute is the contro- versy between Ambassador Harvey and Earl Balfour as to whether Great Britain loaned money advanced by the United States during the war to other nations.
 The admin istration, of course, is backing Harvey's view. but there is a disposition to believe there was little use of stirring tur the matter Inf -t t1rc- lyit ticl,- bt

BIRMINGHAM SENDING
 PIPE TO FORT WORTH
Solid Trainload To Be Shipped For
 Water Trains

A solid trainload of Birmingham cast iron pipe manufactured at the plant of the American Cast Iron Pipe company will soon be on its way to Fort Worth, Tex, where it is to go into water mains to be laid by the city water department for an ex- tension to South Fort Worth.
 This will be the largest single shipment of pipe ever made to a southern point and will represent a part of an order involving more than $400.000.
 The American Cast Iron Pipe com panys plant is one of the largest in the entire country, with capacity of 500 tons per diem. It is among the leading corporations of the dis trict in the employment of modern welfare work and it's slogan of man agement is the application of the Golden Rule.
 Referring to this large order and the proposed trainload shipment, a Fort Worth newspaper says.
 O O O
 In Solid Trainload.
 "A trainload of cast iron pipe, the biggest single shipment of it's kind ever made to a southwestern city, will soon be rolling from Alabama to Fort Worth, if plans of Frank Graves, city purchasing agent, are carried out.
 "The city water department. through Graves, has ordered over s4O0,OOO worth of pipe from the American Pipe company at Birming ham. The pipe. which will be used to make the extension to South Fort Worth and to other newly annexed suburbs. will be delivered over a period of several months.
 When the water department re- ceives it's $1,500.0O0 for extension work, recently voted by the citizens, Graves will instruct the American company to make its first big ship ment in one solid train.
 Banners announcing the destina- tion of the huge shipment will be placed on the sides of the flat cars.
 Engineers have already surveyed the route and portion of the right of-way has been secured. Lord ex- poets to start work shortly, pro- videi weather conditions are favor able"

FIRES ARE STILL SMOULDERING IN OLD TURK PORT
No Effort Is Made To Restore
 Buildings At Smyrna

SMY RNA. March 9.-(By Associated Press. )-Although more than five months have elapsed since Smyrna was laid waste by the great fire. not single brick has been restored. In deed, little effort has been made to clear away the shattered stone and tangled iron girders that block almo st every thoroughfare. The great sea- port still resembles San Francisco the day after the earthquake and fire. Leaning, insecure walls, tottering cornices and rutted roadways are a constant menace to pedestrians.
 Smoke still issues from the fire swept warehouses of the American Tobacco company. Millions of pounds of the finest Turkish tobacco which were destined for the American mar ket lie two floors deep in these store- houses, forming a smouldering fur mace that gives off a peculiarly pun gent order. Months of rain and the combined efforts of the Turkish and foreign fire fighters have failed to extinguish the smoking mass.

 amounts received by the creditors and the sums due them originally.
 The property of the Lincoln com pany, Mr. Stone said, ordinarily would have brought about s5,000,0 900 under the auctioneer's hammer, MT. Ford, however, bid sS,000, ,000 and at that time told Federal Judge Futile, before whom the sale proceedings were conducted, he would pay all creditors in full, making the cost to him approximately :t2.cce,eGo.
 MT. Stone saiG further saving to the creditors was affected when the government reduced it's claims for alleged prepayment of war con tracts from s9,5oo,ooo to s1.5oO,O ,OOo. Friend Of Ford.
 Associated with the Lincoln com pany before its sale to MT. Ford were some of the most prominent men in the automobile world. Chief among these were H. M I.elapd and his son. w.. c. Leland. The former was a pioneer manufacturer in the city and was a friend of MT. ord
 Although he had been unfriendly for years with some of the other men connected with the concern, Mir Ford was represented as feeling that they had done their share in help ing build up the automobile indus try and that no distinction should te made.
 The creditors. all of whom now have been paid in full, number about 800
