LOUISVILLE, KY, \

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov,
23.-(Special.) - Posses to-
night are seeking the slayer OF
Joseph Edwards, CT, Meridian,
Miss, whose body was found
early today in a thicket, one
mile west of Sebre, KY. Ed
wards, who was an interior
decorator, arrived at Sebre at
$50 o'clock Saturday after
noon. He had wired his SON.
in-law, o. A. Scott, to meet
him. but the telegram was de-
layed. The station agent
called a negro, Usylas Will
Jams, %, who agreed to direct
Edwards to the Scott home.
Scott late Saturday afternoon received
the delayed telegram and, after making
inquiry. ascertained his father-h-ia"
had arrived on the noon train. Further
;nouiry revealed that Edwards had not
been seen after he had started for the
scott home in company with the negro.
Search Is Started
"a searching party immediately formed
and after an all night hunt the Dody
was found. The victims head had been
crushed in and bullet hole through the
brain told the story of one OF the most
brutal murders ever committed IN THIS
section of Kentucky.
In an alley near the Scott home, a
large pooI of blood was discovered, to-
pether with a horse owned by the ne
gro's father. The horse was covered
with blood spots and trail of blood
led from the spot where the horse was
found to the main road.
A coroner's jury late today returned
a verdict of murder, and said: We be-
lieye from the evidence that Edwards
came to his death from pistol wound
inflicted by Ulysas Williams, colored,
with felonious intent to rob"
Following the finding of the body an
immediate search for the suspected muir
derer was instituted. 1t was learned
that the negro boarded freight train,
southbound, enrOute to Memphis.
Feeling Runs High
Feeling at Sebre is running high, and
authorities fear they will be unable to
preyent a lynching in the event the ne
gro is unprecedented and brought to
Sebre.
Edwards, it is understood was a
prominent resident of Meridian and was
making his first visit to Kentucky to
visit his daughter, whom he had not
seen for three years. He was carrying
a large handbag when he alighted from
the train, but neither the bag, his
pocketbook, watch or any valuables were
found on his body. He had twice been
married, and is survived by two sons
and two daughters by his first wife,
and BY his widow and two sons OF the
second marriage. The body will be for
warded to Meridian.

LOSS EXCEEDS 100000
Lumber Plant And Other Property
Burned At WiIIets. La.

NATCHEZ, Miss, Nov. GA fire
which broke out early this afternoon
at WilIets, ten miles south of NatcheZ
on the Louisiana side of the Mississippi
river, destroyed the plant of the Black
River Lumber company, and other prop
erty, and for time threatened the en-
tire town, was brought under control at
8 o'clock tonight, according to reports
received here. 1t was estimated the
loss would exceed 100000.
The fire originated in the yards of the
lumber company, destroying a large
quantity of lumber, and, famed by a
strong wind, quickly spread to the build
ings of the plant. The sawmill, box
factory and veneer plant were in the
path of the blaze and were quickly
consumed.
Several nearby negro houses, the
Texas and Pacific railroad depot, a
railroad bridge and several freight cars
also were burned.
Because of the long drought, the
towns water supply was soon exhausted
and the fire fighters resorted to the use
of dynamite to prevent the flames from
reaching the town proper. NatcheZ
was asked for aid but because of the
rough condition of the river caused by
the heavy wind, officials considered it
unsafe to attempt to send engines across
the stream.
The fire is said to have been COM
municated to the lumber yards by
sparks from forest fire. Officials of
the lumber company state their loss
probably would reach half million
dollars. No estimate of the other dam
age had been made tonight.

TO ENFORCE DEMANDS
Britain Will Carry Out Points Rejected
BY Egypt
lRy Associated Press


LONDON, Nov. 23.-Events moved
swiftly in Cairo today and the Egyptian
government has to a large extent COM
piled with Great Britain's virtual ultl-
matum, embodying a series of stern de-
mands in the way of reparation for the
assassination of Major General Sir Lee
Stack, sirdar of the Egyptian army.
Premier Zagloul explained in a secret
session of parliament last night the
lines of his proposed reply and, having
obtained vote of confidence, he today
delivered note to Viscount Allenby,
the British high commissioner, agreeing
to apologize, punish the criminals and
pay the required indemnity Of 100000
pounds sterling.
Declines Responsibility
The premier's note was couched IN
polite terms, but it refused to shoulder
responsibility for the assassination and
regarding the other British demands
argued that they either ran counter to
the Egyptian constitution or were ques-
tions to be attended by diplomats. He
also remembered that the most liberal
policy compatible with that principles
of independence had been adopted to-
ward foreigners and that no observations
had been received from other foreign
powers.
Zagloul has previously read this reply
to the deputies and had obtained an
other vote of confidence.
Viscount Allenby, to whom it is be-
lieved the British government is leaving
the entire conduct of the negotiations,
promptly replied to the Egyptian prem
Ter that the indemnity must be paid by
noon tomorrow; that, since Egypt re-
fused to comply with the demands re-
lating to Sudan, the British authorities
would themselves see that they were
carried out and that he would later in
dictate what course his government in
tended to pursue concerning the pro-
lection of foreign interests.
Danger Persists
Thus, although the affair has been
brought to a point where it is hoped
q serious crisis involving the employ
ment or threat of force has been avert
ed. the position still contains seeds of
great danger. Points in favor of q
peaceful settlement are that the Egyp-
tan government has pursued through
out a very correct policy with regard
to the assassination of the sidar and
that probably neither government is
DESTROYS of precipitating an open break.
Taking into account Zagloul's past
activities and strong nationalist views,
on which he based his policy, he could
hardly have yielded straightaway on
the points on which his reply refuses
compliance without endangering his
government and disappointing his fol
lowers. On the other hand, these are
Just the points of prestige on which
the British government is likely to prove
immovable.
