LIEUT.. GOV. COOPER
BANKRUPT, He SAYS
ON STAND At TRIAL
Lost Fortune Trying to Save
the Bank, According to
Testimony-The Defense
Rests Its Case

WILMINGTON, N. c., Feb. IA
By the Associated Press.)-Lieuten-
ant Governor w. 3. Cooper is bank
rupt, and has been living off money
borrowed from relative, he testi-
fled at the trial here today of him
self and his brother, T, E. Cooper,
on charges Of conspiracy in connec-
ton with the failure of the Com
nercial National bank, of Whining
ton. He declared that in May, 1871,
he was worth 100000.
The defense rested after less than
an hour of cross-examination OF the
lieutenant governor, who resisted ell
forts of the prosecution to shake his
statement that he had acted for the
best interests of the bank at all
times.
The lieutenant governor took the
witness stand at the opening of court
today, his brother having concluded
his testimony at yesterdays session.
1t WAS expected that after the lieu
tenant governor concluded number
of character witnesses would be IN
The lieutenant governor appeared
nervous when he took the stand,
but soon regained his composure.
He reviewed his business career
up to May, 1921, when he succeeded
his youngest brother as president OF
the bank here He said he bought
$4,000 worth of stock OF the bank
from his brother and paid for it.
Proceeding with his story, he
said that at the time he purchased
the bank stock he was worth about
100000, but that now he is bank
11lpt and has rented out his home.
lie said he had been forced to bor-
row $4,000 from a relative for living
expenses.
He said that his heaviest personal
loss resulted from bonds signed by
him to protect deposits in the bank
by government agencies. These, he
said, amounted to 100000 and judg-
ment had been given against him IN
several suits brought in this con-
nection.
He said the majority of his obli-
cations were contracted in his ef-
forts to help the bank here as rep
resented by bonds to protect deposits
and $4,000 borrowed in August,
1922, to aid the bank in making up
for impairment Of $4,000 of its capl-
tai stock.

WORKABLE PLANS
FOR REP ARAT|ONs
BELIEVED FOUND
Committee Of Experts Re-
turning to Paris From Ber-
lin With Definite Sugges-
tons for Clearing Debt

BERLIN, Feb 14-General Charles
G.. Dawes and his committee of in
ternational experts were on their
: way to Paris today, convinced they
khaye found plan whereby the allies
Yan collect PREPARATIONS ana Germany
] can be rehabilitated financially.
The plan, Dawes believes, will be
satisfactory to both France and Ger
many if viewed from a strictly bust
ness viewpoint. 1t will enable the
allies to get reparations, presuppos-
ing that Germany is allowed econom-
ic control of the Ruhr and Rhine
land.
Under the plan outlined by the
Dawes committee the maximum
amount obtainable as reparations
will depend upon the extent to which
the world absorbs German products
Before his departure, General
Dawes visited Chancellor Marx and
thanked him for Germany's co-opera-
ton in providing material necessary
10 Tie IhVOoSi5oSAOAA
Marx replied that he was glad the
experts had had the opportunity for
thorough study of the German H.
nancial situation.
Full Details Not Available
Full details of the rlan were not
available before the committee left
Z Berlin. but some of the features fol-
low:
They include:
/. New gold backed currency, sup
planting land mortgages now back
ed by the rentenmark, must be IN
troduced in Germany.
z. A total circulation of five bill
lions of marks must be provided. al
though temporarily a smaller sum,
possibly three billion, will suffice.
8. This currency must be backed
by SO per cent gold. or the equlva-
lent.
To Balance German Budget
4. The German budget must be
balanced; according to the experts,
this should not prove difficult. Ger
many probably can manage 1t her
self through readjusted taxation, but
if she doesn't, she must be helped
by outside loans. 1t is believed a
large part of the stock of the new
bank could be subscribed in Amer
lea.
5, Germany must be freed OF re.
strictions now hampering production.
The experts said it was silly to
try to name a concrete maximum
sum for reparations,. but insisted it
will be possible to ascertain what
the minimum will be under the new
plan. The maximum will be deter
mined as Germany's foreign trade
develops. In other words, if the
world absorbs a lot of "made in Ger.
many" goods, then there will be
more reparations.

 Interest at he White House cen- tered today on the results of the congressional contests.

END OF AN ISHUMAN PENAL COLONY

Bcgun with pure motives of phil anthropy, the French penal settle mcnts at Cayenne and St. Laurent de Maroni, French Guiana, degen- orated into a hell on earth for the unfortuntes sentenced to it, accord ing to a Paris dispatch to the New York World. The settlement lasted 69 years and transformed a land of opportunity and possibilities into a quagmiro of penury and misery.
 It has been eliminated by the Herriott ministry In France as a re- suit of an expose by Albert Lon dres, a journalist in the employ of the Petit Parisien. It had been sup posed by Frenchmen that the Guiana settlement was Ideal in Its operation, so little was heard about it. Few ever returned from the supposed "earthly paradise" until recently the real reason why they never returned was not suspected.
 Instead of a colony of remade men, with their descendants popu- lating the South American colony most of them left their bodies in the cemetery at Cayenne, or in the undergrowth of the jungle. Death lurked in every known manner, and the most humane way of shutling off was the guilotine,
 The French penal system apply ing to its victims sent to GWana has been a curious mixture of jus fire After serving their terms as road builders and at other hard Iahor in the tropical climate, post of those sent there had to stay in the colony for as many years as . thov served as prisoners; and some |
 of the more serious criminals were ex,red there for life. But while +bav served as conyicts they recelVed daily rations and a roof; when they served as oxiles they had nothing and turned into bcggars. There was scsrcelv any work fer anyone III C;piana. so that thousands infested inc streets as mcndicants, to steal starye or die of fever.
 And during the 62 years of this nenaI colony the simpLe-minded peasantry in France thought 1t was an ideal philanthropy, It renamed for newspaper man-wh'ch III France is known as a journalist - to pen the vivid stories of the colony which speedily ended it's existence After the French people were mauc avare of the waste of potentially rich colony and the needless anu must human suffering it provided the demand to eliminate the colony was overwhelming,
 The remaining prisoners are or their way back to France the eAllc' to he freed and those with remaln' ing sentences 10 serve to be pIacs' in iails in their native land
