Correspondents Of the Associated Press. ,

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BAGDAD, October 20.-Great in
terest has been aroused in Bagdad by
the rumor that Seyyid Talih Pasha, q
former aspirant to the Irak throne,
who 10 reported to be now In Egypt,
10 to be allowed to return to his
native land. Seyyid Talib was deport-
"a by the British authorities In 1921
on account Of q speech at q public
dinner In which he criticized the
British policy OF that time. He Is
known to have had serious designs on
the kingship, and was probably the
most serious rival that the then Emir,
now King Feisal, had to face.
Seyyid Talib was easily the most
political figure produced in
this country by the stormy political
life OF the period. He was also
very good friend to the British, par
in the days OF 1890. and his
to Ceylon caused resent
ment at the time even within British
official circles.

Point cadets, who caught Ed
ward Roberts, sixteen, providing
in their room at the Hotel Aston
today, upheld an army tradition
by giving Roberts a chance to
make good the STORY he told

Roberts said his sister, "Mary
Roberts," was in a dying condi-

he had turned burglar to get
money to pay for an operation.
While one of the cadets
guarded the youth the other
telephoned the hospital and was
told there was no such patient
as "Mary Roberts"

Now that Congress has adjourned
carpenters and cabinet makers can
go over the desks in the Senate
chamber. tightening them up and
repairing blemishes where. EN-.
phatic fists Of Senators have been
pounding since last December.
Pounding desks is the Senator's
principal means Of driving home
what he has TO say. The furniture
has come in for some tough attacks
in the session just adjourned.
When a Senator arises to de-
nounce the corrupt interests or
something else. the desk before him
for the moment personifies the OBJ

it right and left. j..

The Senators have become so
used to their own pounding that
they no longer disturb one another.

Founders Is the Democratic leader

usually plays a tattoo like a

strolls over to those Of his neighbors

ANTIQUE CANNON GIVEN
 TO ALASKA MUSEUM

k
 An antique cannon made by the Russians who first settled in Alas ka, for their protection against the natives, has arrived at the Alaska Historicals Museum. It was sent here from Unalaska by Louis Straus of the Alaska Commercial Co, and delivered to Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff through the courtesy of Commander Boedecker of the Unalga.
 The cannon has no stamp upon it, and therefore it is not known how old it is. Rev. Kasheyaroff expressed the opinion that it may have been cast and made in Sitka although it has been in Unalaska for many years. Rev. Kashevaroff stated that he saw cannons in Una laska when be was there in 1880, and they were then many years old. The Unalga also brought two an cient wooden boxes, such as are made by the Aleuts, only they are from the lower kuskokwim dis trict. These boxes were sent to the museum through the kindness of A. C. Goss of Unalaska.-Juneau Elm pire.

He stated that his only object in making this request WIS expediency, and that if the fran chise were granted to him person ally he would transfer the same tt the Wilson & Sylvester Mill Com pany on April 1, 1925.
