the official crop report released
Monday. This decline is greater than
any that has occurred during the
month Of June in the state with the
possible exception Of last year. The
major portion occurred during the
period from May % to June TO-
This period was followed by ten
days of considerable improvement

The major portion of the state
made considerable increase in cotton
with the exception of the two mar
row belts in north Georgia, where a
decrease is probable. This applies to
the cotton standing on June 25th,
a considerable early abandonment
having been deducted. As the condi-
ton figure indicates, a large portion

FAVORS UNDERWOOD DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
Says Senator Would Prevent In-
 crease In Taxation

NEW ORLEANS, March 20.-Re- nomination of President Harding and nomination of Senator oscar Under- wood of Alabama as the democratic presidential candidate would mean that business men of the country need not worry that they would be burdened with additional taxes. for mer United States Senatcr Joseph w. Bailey of Texas declared today at the opening session here of the South ern Pine, asSociation's annual con vention. MT. Bailey's appearance as speaker was unexpected, and he was given an ovation.
 Taxation is rapidly approaching confiscation in the United States" he said. If 1 had s1,000,O00 and sdied today the taxes would eat up about s900.000 and my family wGuld get the residue. This acts as a discourage ment to thrift and ambition. This procedure is monstrous, unjust and a folly. Every nation which has eX- cessively taxed it's industries has been the one who has suffered in the long run.
 q know it has been the policy of business men not to tackle the gov ernment until the government tackled them, but 1 believe in this instnace they should take time by the fere- lock and assert themselves. l be- lieve that if the republicans nomi nate Harding again and the demo- crats choose Oscar W. Underwood as their standard bearers, business of this country need not worry that they will be burdened with any additional ta-eSu

 Returning from tour from South American waters on the steamship Reliance, which brought the two British lords. were Glenn Curtiss, aviation expert, and John Proctor Clarke, former justice of the United States supreme court.
 President Hardings recent propos- al for the United States to join the world court was declared a fine step forward by ex-Justice Clarke. He said that he had recovered his health and energy during the cruise and would start at once on his duties as presi- dent of the League of Nations Non Partisan association.
 MT. Curtiss said that he had found great enthusiasm for aviation in Brazil, where United States navy officers are instructing the Brazilian navy in flying. Brazil. he said. could easily be opened up by tue use of hydro airplanes because of the great number of good landing places on the many rivers throughout the country. He believed European ma tions are outdistancing the United States in the development of trade in South America, particularly in air planes.

Knows Nothing Of Whipping.
 The mayor said that the commit tee took all precautions to prevent acts of violence and that as far as he knew, no incidents, such as whip pings, described by Dewey Webb be- fore the committee at Little Rock lad occurred.
 He read into the records the names of the II members of the 1Ieber Springs committee. When questioned regarding the issuance of army auto matic pistols to the men at Heber Springs during the trouble there, he said that he had forbidden the issue of the guns and that the adjutant general of the National Guard, to whom an appeal was made for the arms, had ruled that the only way they could be taken from the armory at Heber Springs was through the sheriff who would have to sign for them and alone could issue them to deputies for emergency purposes. This was done, he said, and few guns. duly ~registered, were drawn out by the sheriff.
 He said that the trouble at Heber Springs did not mean that the com munity was hostile to union labor, and read into the records figures to show the dependence of Heber Springs on the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad. He said that no lawless or brutal act happened with the knowledge of the citizens com mittee.
 When asked whether conditions are quiet at Heber Springs he said. "Yes, quiet as they are in Harrison, but if radically active strikers :hould return, public feeling is so strong that there might be more trouble."- Pistol Drops Tn Eioor.
 While he was speaking there was a thump in the jury box where a number of interested spectators were sitting. A long barreled revolver had dropped to the floor.
 Mayor vinson also told of the seiz- ing of numerous belts filled with high powered rifle shells, cans of vitriol, packages of emery dust and a Missouri and North Arkansas switch key.
 w. J. Douglas, of Berryville, tes- 5lfled that lie was member of the Harrison citizens committee. He was questioned closely regarding the lynchinG of Gregor. He said that he was With the committee when Gregor was questioned on the night of the hanging, but that the last he saw of Gregor was when Gregor was left in charge of the sheriff when the com AAA4stSS adJpulutu loT luc HE Tt.
 George w. Bezore, of Berryville, also member of the Harrison com mittee, replied when asked by Rep resentative Fred Harrelson if the citizens committee had taken any steps to find out who lynched Gregor.
 NO" he said Nor did the unions try to find out who burned the bridges"

Since railroad sery- Ice has been restored. business has returned to normal. O. J. Vaughan and B. Heartsell, also of Pangburn, corroborated his testimony. J. 5.

March 20.-A temporary order was issued by Judge Claude Duvall in the district court Tuesday restraining the Knox on the ground which has been sacred for a quarter of a century to the frontiermen whose descendants now VOW that they will defend the plot with their lives. Fifteen church. men are guarding the United Broth erbood cemetery near here.
 The order holds for one week. At It's expiration the company's suit to enforce a lease which is alleged to have been obtained from church members will be decided. The com pany wishes to sink well in the center of the graveyard.
 There will be trouble in this country if the court says the Knox people can sink well among these graves one old resident of Ponca said Tuesday night. Those men out there won't shoot until they have to. but when they do-that won't be all the shooting therell be-

 The watch of the dead has been maintained night and day for the past three weeks by farmers of this section who patrolled the little plot fully armed and with the announced intention of ejecting the first oil nan who set foot on the ground. An official of the Knox company was thrown into the road in front of the church last week when ho attempted to open a barley with the angry churchmen.
 Many of the farmers are oil mil lionares and are prepared to spend any amount of money in fighting for the sanctity of the graves of their ferbears in the courts, 1t IS said.

GOVERNMENT BOOKING POLICY IS ANNOUNCED
Statement Prompted By Action Of New York Bank

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The state department today made public the text of circular. distributed a year ago to 8 number Cf American banking houses, cautioning them in the handling of foreign loans, not to state imply that the loans were contingent on an expression from the department or to refer in any pros- pectus or contract to the attitude of the American government. Publica- tion of the communication, it was explained, was prompted by the inn pression given recently by. a New York bank, in connection with the of fer. of $50,o00,000 worth of German bonds, that the transaction had state department sanction. The bank did this inadvertently, it was stated.
 American. firms desiring to ascer- tain the attitude Lf the department regarding any projected loan, it was said, should request an expression of its views in writing. The department then would endeavor. it was stated, to say whether objection to the loan existed,
