French Financial Expert in Turkey
To Study Serious Monetary State

CONSTANTINOPLE.- Rist,
Fernch financial expert and former gov
ernor of the Bank of France, has been
in Angora in consultation with
the government over the nations finan-
cial situation. He has been retained
by both the government and the coun..
Gil Of the Ottoman public debt in an
advisory capacity.
The government has suspended pay
ment of the annual f250O,000 pledged
last year to liquidate bonds of the Of
toman Empire held abroad under the
accord of Paris, on the ground that
further payment creates serious dam
ger to Turkish finances and has been
the cause of the fall Of the national
currency.
Meanwhile, the government has pub
lished the text of the law creating the
state bank, which will be named the
Central Republican Bank, with capi-
tai Of 25,0000 900 Turkish lire, or about
f2,500.000. 1t Is commonly admitted
that this capital is really insufficient
circulation of which amounts to 1885,
100000 lire. But the government de-
sires to arrive little by little at stabil-
ization by tkE execution of a vast eco
nomic program.
This program provides the increase
of the Turkish export in order to di-
minish the great difference between the
import and the export of this country.
This difference Is now about 10000, 900
lire. The state bank will have the ex-
elusive privilege to issue bank notes
with value IN gold. This value will
be established after a common accord
with the government and the bond
holders of the Ottoman debt. These
bank notes will be of 10, IS, so, 100.
500 and 1000 Turkish lire each, The
new bank has many postal, telegraphic
and telephone privileges and will have
the support of the government.

THE DAVIS CUP.-The Davis Cup
tournament at Auteuil. France, ended
on July 81 with 4-to-1 victory for
the French. This Is the fourth con-
secutive year of French victory in the
supreme tennis tournament. The first
day, Tilden beat Borotra with some diff
ficllty and Cochet beat Lott with ease.
The second day, in the doubles. Cochet
and Brugnon beat Allison and Van Ryn.
In view of the record of the latter
combination. including their recent
triumph at Wimbledon, the French VIC
tory was not unexpected. The expla-
nation is that Brugnon, the target of
the American attack, rose to the
heights-had crowded hour of glorious
life. On the last day Borotra beat Lott
by a hair only, and Cochet beat Tilden
decisively, though the contest was
replete with beautiful playing on either
side. AS Lacoste intends to return to
the game next year, the immediate
prospect is rosy for France.

''Humiliation Days" Put
Under Ban i'm Shanghai

All strikes were forbidden by the
Chinese authorities of the Greater
Shanghai area, which is Chinese terri
tory, during the month of May, and
schools were denied holidays on "hu-
initiation" days during the same period,
in view of the unsettled conditions OF
labor and the consequent Communist
menace.
Sandwiched between the big days OF
May and May 80 were a number OF
anniversaries of incidents involving
conflicts between Chinese and foreigners
and the government and radical ele-
mentS.
1t has been customary in the past to
celebrate these with disturbances and
heated meetings, in which anti-foreign
and anti-Nanking furore is drummed
up. Most notable of these days was
the anniversary of the Marking road
incident of May 30, 1925, an affair
which many claim set the match both

movements. Chinese pok upon such

In taxation. He ended as follows:

COHAN STAGE HIT IS AGAIN SHOWING
 ATPALACE TONIGHT

The ability of talking pictures to bring the greatest plays of the stage to the screen for all the world to see and hear is strikingly demonstrated at the Palace The atre, where Richard Dix's first Ra- dio starring film, Seven Keys to Baldpate, is now having it's first local showing.
 AS the stage play produced on Broadway by George M. Conan, this fast moving melodramatic farce was deservedly popular. After playing in New York for an entire season, it went on the road for another year, playing in the major cities of the country.
 And now Radio Pictures. through the miracle of the talking screen, presents Seven Keys to Baldpate in a manner that makes it even

greater entertainment thar the stage play. The embellishments of the camera, the splendid perform ances of the star and his support ing cast, the entire resources of a great film studio in Hollywood, all combine to make it one of the most diverting mysteries ever shown at the Palace Theatre.
 Richard Dix is ideally suited for the role of Magee, the novelist, whose visit to the deserted Baldpate Inn brings about the gripping se- ries of adventures. His voice, train ed on the stage and in several talk ing pictures, is expertly recorded.
 Two members of the cast appear ed in Cohans original New York stage production. They are Joseph Allen, who plays the mad hermit. and Carleton Macy, the old con- stable. Others who give excellent performances are Miriam Seegar Margaret Livingston, Lucien Little field, Dewitt Jennings, Nella Walk CT, Edith Yorke and Crauford Kent.

FUR SHORTAGE NOT INDICATED
 BY STATISTICS
Official Figures on P elts Exported Controvert
 Shortage Reports

Statistics on the Alaska fur in- dustry, made public in Fairbanks by H. w. Terhune, Executive Of- ficer of the Alaska Game Commis- sion, controvert general reports that the fur catch of the past trapping season was far below normal, said an Associated Press dispatch re- ceived today by The Empire.
 MT. Terhune released fig UT e S showing the total pelts exported this year to be 173,l69 as compared to 166,166 for the year previous. The gain in number was due to an increase in muskrats taken.
 Rat skins exported this year numbered 112,000 during the past year, and only 89,000 for the year Excluding muskrats, the Alaska fur catch declined 9A per cent There was an increase in otter skins.
 Indications for improved condi- tions in the fur industry are prom ising, MT. Terhune said. There is an increase in the numbers Of grouse, ptarmigan and rabbits, on which flIr-bearing animals subsist largely, he pointed out. This $ regarded as a hopeful sign for the future.
