His note was in answer to a COM

be held responsible for protection of
foreign lives and property in Egypt"
A similar communication, it was an

Commons at London, was addressed to
head of the Wafdist, Nationalist or
majority element.
M. Sidky Pasha said that "order and
tranquility having been restored. the
presence of British warships in Egyptian
waters is no longer required for the
proposed object of safeguard" In con-
clusion, he said that the British note
could be interpreted as calling in ques-
ton the governments exclusive aus

'I do not evade for an instant the
responsibilities alluded to in the Brit
ish governments communication, al
though the communication is not OF
a nature to facilitate the task which
am resolved to accomplish" he said.

CANON CITY, Colo, July 10
George J. Abshier and Howard L.
Royston went to their deaths on the
State prison gallows last night for the
Staying of four men in connection with
the robbery of the First National Bank
Of Lamar in May, 1928.
The double hanging left Jake Fleagle,
a fugitive, the only living member OF
the band of ruthless killers who were
sought throughout the United States
for more than a year after the robbery.
Ralph Fleagle, reputed bandit leader,
was hanged fortnight ago.
Prison officials asked the condemned
slayers. recently baptized in the Catho-
lie faith, if they had any preference in
the order in which they died.
Abshier Goes First.
I'll CO." Abshier said and was taken
to Royston's cell for a farewell.
I'll wait for you on the bosom of
Christ" Abshier told his fellow bandit.
He was pronounced dead at $3.50 PM,
Royston dying an hour later.
In the Lamar hold-up, A. N. Parrish,
president of the bank, and his son
John were slain by the quartet. Two
tellers were kidnapped and later the
body of one, E. A. Kessinger was found.
He had been murdered to still his
tongue, it was revealed later.
Doctor Found Murdered.
Royston had been wounded in an ex-
change of shots in the bank before Par
rish and his son were shot down, and
DR.. w. w. Wineinger of Dighton, Kans.,
was called to treat his wounds. The
doctors body was found some time
later He had been killed by shot
gun charge in the back of his head.
A widespread search for the bandit
killers, which incidentally cleared up
many. other crimes, resulted in the ar
rest of Ralph Fleagle, who turned
States evidence and confessed the
crime. He died asserting the State had
not kept it's promise to prevent his
hanging in exchange for the confession.

It's Limit.

SOUTH BEND. Ind, July 19.-Mem-
bers of the board of directors of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, in session here Thursday, ex-
pressed themselves as enthusiastic over
the business outlook for the next six
months.
According to Alfred Reeves, general
manager of the chamber, who said he
based his statement on reports Of lead
ing economists of the country, the
business depression appears to have
reached its limit This fact, he said,
with low inventories, easy money and
reduced production during the first six
months of the year, has produced a
healthy condition in the automotive in
dustry. The cooperation of dealers
and manufacturers in carrying out a
plan to junk old cars promises to add
an additional market for the industry,
Reeves said. Two and half million
automobiles are expected to disappear
from service during 1880.
