British ProvinciaIs Claim
Canadian Pacific Railway
Securities ConflsCated
From Germans in u. S.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journsl.l
Copyright, 1922

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Canada
and the United States have develop
ed one OF the most tangled legal
points over the question of German
property seized during the war that
the alien property. custodians of the
two countries have yet tackled.
A delegation of Canadian officials
and Secretary Hughes are meeting
here today to disentangle the skein.
The Problem arises out of the fact
that Canadian Pacific railway prop.
erty, which was owned in part by
Germans, was confiscated by the Ca
madam authorities. The securities,
however, originally issued against
the property, were held by German
residents in the United States and
thus the securities came into the pos.
session of the alien property custo-
dian of the United States govern
ment. The Canadians feel that in.
asmuch as they hold the original
property they are entitled to the Sc
curities.
So far as the Washington govern
ment is concerned, the action of the
alien property custodian is regulated
by acts of congress and there is no
law on the statute books permitting
the American government to confis-
cate securities or any other class
of property with the idea of turning
it over to anybody but lawful own
ers.
Long Debate Likely
Much Of the alien property may
be held Indefinitely in trust and divi-
dends or other income yielded will
be retained until congress finally
says what shall be done,
To give up the securities desired
by the Canadians would mean con-
fiscation of property held by the
American government and the only
way that could be done would be for
the United States government to
compensate the owners some day
and that would require authorization
from congress as well as an appro-
priation.

Georgia Peach Sales
By Auctioning Proves
( Profitable to Growers

: Commenting on a telegram Of pro-
test from several fruit commission
concerns in New York city. the Geor-
gia Fruit exchange, through j. G.
Carlisle, manager, on Monday de-
cIared that the method of auctioning
peaches will lbe continued as long
as it proves as profitable as it has
thus far. The commission houses in
their telegram, which was forward
ed to various Georgia peach growers,
asserted that the peach auction prin-
ciple was contrary to good business
policies.
Mr.. Carlisle declared that the Auc-
tioning Of peaches. begun last year,
has proven very satisfactory, has re-
suited in greater distribution Of fruit,
and has shown good financial re.
turns to the growers. Dispose lof
peaches at private sale will not be
discontinued, he said, but both meth
DDS will be used.

sy as have been all other conferences
in which Canadian authorities and

participated.
British Sit BY
The part the British embassy
plays is purely perfunctory and for
NAL and the entire negotiation is US
ually carried on between the Cana
dian and American governments but
until direct representation is spe-
officially arranged and the British
government notifies the American
government to that effect the ar.
rangements will continue to be made
through the British embassy. In
fact, one OF the arguments heard
against Canadian representation is
that it would cost the Canadian gov
eminent considerable money to
maintain legation here, while to all
practical purposes direct conferences
can always be arranged through the
British embassy in which the Wash
ington government gives maximum
attention to the business Of the
Canadian government just as if the
questions arising were to have been
submitted through a Canadian Legal
lion.
There have been sentimental ques-
tons raised, of. course, which have
a bearing on whether the Canadians
shall have legation here but these
naturally are matters on which the
Canadians themselves ultimately
must pass, though it is a fact the
establishment of closer relations
with Canada through a legation
would be warmly welcomed here and
there is very reason to believe the
London government is not opposed
to the step. But the conferences now
being held are in line with previous
practice and do not imply any slight
of the home government by the
Canadians.

SEVEN DEAD, MANY
MISSING, As CREST
Of FLOOD PASSES

KANSAS CITY. Mo, June ~
The crest of the flood water that for
four days have covered the eastern
half OF Kansas and northern Okla
homa had virtually passed today,
leaving a toll of seven known dead,
many missing and property damage
aggregating several million dollars.
Thousands of persons made homeless
when the flood swept through their
homes were being cared for today
in public buildings and in private
homes.
Railroad service to several cities
in Kansas was demoralized and at
least two cities were virtually cut
off from communication.
Washouts on virtually all lines in
this region were reported.
Arkansas City, hardest hit was
under martial law today. Water
still remained upon the streets. Re-
lief work for more than 5000 FLOOD
victims was we'll under way. Twenty
five persons were reported unac-
counted for, but these were expected
to be found when the many persons
marooned by the high water were
freed. The estimate of damage was
placed at $3,000,000.
Meager reports from Winfield,
Kansas, estimated the damage there
at between one and one-half million
dollars. Many were homeless and
American legion members were pa
trolling the city.
Conditions at Wichita, Kansas,
where four square miles of the city
was flooded to a depth of three feet,
were improving rapidly, Property
damage there was estimated at
more than 81 100000.
Damage said to reach $4,000, 900
was caused in Kay county, Okla.
Six feet of water flowed down the
main business street of Kay City,
Okla, yesterday, while citizens
huddled on a hill south of the town.
Trains service throughout Okla
homa was in a demoralized state as
a result of washouts of main line
bridges and tracks in the northern
and western parts of the state.
A three-inch rain fell in the region
of Rich Hill, Mo-, last night, sent
streams in that region out of their
banks, inundating hundreds of acres
of farm lands and washing out rail-
road tracks.
Reports from Garden City, Kan,
last night said that the flood danger
from upper Arkansas seemed past
and that no further rise in the river
was expected.
No estimate had bene made today
of the amount of damage to crops
L Nd TIynG f.
ern Oklahoma. Thousands of acres
of wheat, ready for harvest, and
corn, were inundated and in many
cases, virtually wiped out. Thou
sands Of head Of cattle and other
livestock were drowned and swept
down swollen streams.
Although heavy rains and swol-
len streams were reported in north
ern Texas, no great damage was
reported. In fact, the rainfalls were
said to be beneficial to crops.

Bobbed Hair Growing
More Popular, Say
BARRIERS for Womer
BY JUNE HADAWAY
H,eased Wire Service to The Journ


Copyright, 1921
NEW YORK, June 11.-Bobbed
hair is not passe.
Half a dozen of New York's lead
ing tonsorial artists, catering partic-
ularly to the feminine trade, declar
ed today the shearing process goes
on apace.
They admit there was time dur
ing the last few months when bust
ness wasn't so good because women
tried to get away from bobbed hair
and were tucking in the loose ends
and wearing nets to make it appear
that their locks had grown out.
But with the warm weather APP
preaching, any edict that might have
been passed about spelling doom to
bobbed hair is being disregarded.
These BARRIERS say that their places
are doing thu biggest business they
have had since the fad came in.
Women like the freedom from hair
pins and hair nets and they don't
like the growing out process, that
stage when ugly. stiff hairs grow
out on their necks. to annoy them.
Another theory that has been ad-
vanced ia that bobbed hair harmon
ICES with the Egyptian tones in
styles.
Whatever the reason may be there
is a prevalence of bobbed hair on
Broadway and Fifth avenue. IL
looks as if short locks, are here to
stay.

Mr.. Disnuke said:
ITO indicate the vast amount of
work performed in this state since

lowing figures:

without minimizing the task be-

present conditions in Georgia are

Ninety per cent of the negroes
