Aug. 2.—When a group of fashionably dressed women was .about to enter the bronze gates of the Vatican | today for a Papal audience they were 1 stopped by a dignified gesture from Monsignor Marmaggi. the newly appoint ed Apostolic Delegate from Jugo-Slavia. , Mgr. Marmaggi then separated the wom en into two parties, one a small one of j women wearing gowns with high necks land long sleeves, and the other, a large I one. of women wearing short sleeves and low necked dresses. In explanation, he said: ‘ "Only those decently dressed are al lowed to enter. The Hbly Fattier has expressly forbidden immddest dresses in ; tin* palace." The tears and protest of the majority "were unheeded by the gorgeously attired Swiss Guards who barred the entrance. The handful, considered more modestly jgowued. were passed in. Some of the women refused admit , tame hastily visited nearby stores and purchased quantities of tulle with which they draped their arms and necks, after which they were allowed to enter. The majority, however, were obliged to go home. Jt was announced that in the future j no woman, regardless of - her social posi tion or nationality, will be allowed to pass the guards unless her neck and ; arms are covered.

ORIGIN OR RARE CERAMICS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY One of the Greatest Puzzles in tlie Study of Prehistoric American History. Washing-toil. Aug. 2.-—One of t'ho greatest puzzles in the study of the pre ,"historic American Indian , l of the people who made a m \;i[ type of pottery found in the M- Valley in New Mexico. j Dr. .T. Walter Fewkes. C» / of the I Bureau of American EthnoVvgv of the Smithsonian Institution, recently return ed from an investigation in the valley, but reported he had learned absolutely nothing of the lost race whose cera mics. first found by him in 11)13. are pronounced to be among the best ever unearthed in North America. The figures of men and animals, birds, fish, reptiles and insects, as, well as geometric designs of unusual excel lence, decorate the pots, bowls and other I household articles found by Dr. Fewkes. The representations of life are full of action, anad it is difficult for scientists tu understand how the ancient inhabi tants us the valley were able to achieve the accuracy and perfection of the in volved designs without the aid of me chanical devices. ; The pottery has been found for the most part under the floors of tlie ruins of ancient buildings, and commercial ex ploitation of the material has become -so widespread that the valley ruins are being rapidly demolished and the in structive archeological objects b>st tio science. One reason for Dr. Fewkes r visit was tin make a collection for the National Museum before the supply was , exhausted. GREENSBORO JUDGE SHOT BY HIS SON-IN-LAYV Judge C. A.

PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE Mr. Latham Says He Has Never Seen Better Crops Than Now. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 2,—Traveling in an automobile from Belhaven to the mountains and returning by another route. F. I*. Ijatham, member of the State Board of Agriculture from the hirst District.' a visitor in Raleigh to the Farmeis' Convention, made an inter esting* report as to agricultural condi tions as he finds them in North Caroli na. While out for a leisurely survey of farming conditions . Mr. Latham also studied other industries related to agri culture. "1 have never seen better crops than are in the state at this time.” said Mr. I ait ham, "Leaving Belhaven on July 15 I had an idea that no cropscould be better than our corn, ibeans and cotton. This is the grainary of North Caroli na and the livestock country of the Southeast. My route lay through the towns of Washington. Greenville, and Wilson into Raleigh. As I left the Tide water sectioy we gradually came into the upper coastal plain which is the heart of our bright leaf tobacco section. Here I found a wonderful crop of tobac co. The plants seem to be topped on an average of from 14 to lti leaves and were of the finest quality. Gradually as we drew out of this section there came less tobacco and more cotton. The cot ton crop all through this territory, is in magnificent shape. Some of the plant ers claim, however, that their crop this year'is a tritie late and the plants some what undersized on account of drouth. My impressions are that pudgiug the cotti n at this season of the year there will be a good crop produced provided / the boll weevil does not seriously dam age it later in the fall. "1 found that the Im>ll weevil was in ev idence all through my trip over the cot ton section and was beginiuiug to do some damage." Mr. Latham, after leaving Raleigh, visited Haw River, Statesville, Black Mountain, stopping in Gntftwba county to look over the great dairy and pasture section. "Just as truly as is Eastern North Carolina the great agriculture section of the state and Piedmont North Carolina the industrial section so is the mountain section one vast playground. We found here thousands of tourists and. visitors enjoying the magnificent scenery ami wonderful climate of our mountain reg ion. License tags on the cars of these visitors showed that they came from practically every state in the Union South of Ohio, and east of the Miss : issippi river." On his return from the mountains, Mr. Latham visited Henderson and Cleveland counties. Mr. Latham said lie considered Cleveland one of the baum*r counties of the state. Ileie." says Mr. Latham.’ ‘Syilft one continuous highly developed farming section, with field after field of cotton, all in good condition and giving prom ise of a good crop. Cleveland, it ap pears to me. is out* of the best develop ed counties of the state. Along the road which lie traveled there was practically no waste land and the countryside seem ed to be well settled with prosiierous farming people. "Between Lincoluton and Albemarle there was a small section where the crops appeared to he not so good, on ac count of continued drouth." Mr. Latlmm continued his trip to the Sandhills ending it at the Peach Show at Hamlet. He said he was deeply im pressed with what lie found in this sec tion. "Here are most wonderful possibili ties: in fact. 1 can hardly se* the limit of what we might reasonably expect of this region, especially when one— con siders the orchards already planted and those contemplated being planted within the next year or two." he said. To ray mind there is only one factor to limit the development of this section and that is that the market may not be developed to the great extent that the fruit is pro duced. I do not think thi* will be a real danger, however, si nee a movement has already been made by the establish ment of one small canning factory here, and I am reliably informed that this en terprise is already on a paying basis. "When we consider that North Caro lina peaches are well colored, due to the long hours of sunlight which the fruit gets in the Sandhills and that the Hnvor is unsurpassed, it to me that there will always he a market for North Carolina grown peaches. ■‘The crop was somewhat short this year, with some of the growers telling me that they could only ship about 350 cars. Last year the section shipped ap proximately 1,500 cars and one grower stated that he produced 1(M) carloads of marketable peaches from 105 acres. With such a record and with such pos sibilities as this tin* sandhills will soon become one of the most valuable sec tions of North Carolina." Buys Sarah Bernhardt’s House. Paris. Aug. 2. —The late Sarah Bern hardt often tried to sell her country house on Belle-Isle, off the coast of Brittany, but she never found a purchas er. The property includes a farm, an old ford and a rock strewn piece of shore front. Within a few weeks of her death, how ever a buyer was found at 350,000 francs —somewhere about $20,000. He intends to turn the house into a summer hotel, and will have a jazz-band and dancing on the first floor before the present sea son is over. < The mayor of Palais, the port of the little island, had hoped that the munici pality would acquire the property, and convert it into a Bernhardt museum but the sale was put through before he could get his plan before the public. 88 Cent Sale at Efird’s Efird’s will have a big sale of dresses tomorrow.

REPUBLICAN PARTY FAILURE DECLARES SENATOR COPELAND Present Party in Power Has “Miserably and Ignomi nously Failed,New York Senator Says in Address. GEORGIA SOLONS HEAR ADDRESS! Charges Party Has Neglected Many for the Sake of En- j ridling Few—Says Change! Will Come in 1924. i * ♦ I Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 2.—Dr. Royal S. | Copeland. United States Senator from ' New York, told the Georgia General As- j sembly today that the republican party ! ■has "miserably and ignom ipously failed"! and expressed his confidence that the ! Democratic party again will come into po.wcr. He declared that 22 states car ried by the republicans* in 15)20 have swung over to the Democrats and as serted the defection was "because our country will not stand for the thought i less neglect of the multitudes for the I sake of enriching tlie few." He charged President Harding with being "painful ly lacking in persjM'ctive." Transportation and conservation of natural resources are some of the chieU factors entering into the problems of the present, Senator Copeland said, dealing with them in their relation to fanner, labor, war veterans, aftd the country at large. f . "We are living in a remarkable period | of the world's history." tin* Senator de-, dared. "No matter now complex, how compelling, how disturbing, how heart breaking any other time may have been, I doubt if the souls of men ever have nieen tried more than at this time." The farmer, Senator Copeland said. I has suffered more than all the rest of society. He named agriculture as the fundamental industry of America, and as serted that unless the farmer prospers "there cannot be permanent prosperity \ for any nation." "As 1 view it, two tilings are essential to the welfare of the farmer. The first of these is education of'the public to the needs of the farmer and national import ance of his welfare." * "As a second ess nay'll ho advocated changes in the tariff and transportation and taxation and the restoration of for eign markets." Senator Copeland charged that the Re publican tariff framers forgot the farm er when they wrote tlie Fordney-Mo- Cumber bill which lie characterized us an "iniquitous law." MI TE CONGREGATION TO HAVE CHURCH IN CHICAGO The Silent Congregation to Have a Per manent Church Home. Chicago. Aug. 2. —Chicago's silent church congregation, composed of many of tin* 2,000 deaf of the city, will have a permanent church home when the new City Temple is dedicated, according to the Rev. Philip J. Ilaseustab, pastor;. | The members of the deaf mission have been without a place of meeting of their own since the old First Church, on the site of the new edifice, was pulled down. "But the deaf congregation still holds its services once a week." says Constance E. Ilaseustab. assistant pastor. "Ev ery Sunday afternoon they come togeth er from all parts of the city for their worship service of Scripture reading, ser mon and hymns in the sign language. "There is an illustrated stereopticou lecture, and by watching the signs of the interpreter they enjoy programs of readings, plays and songs. We also have study courses with 35 members of the deaf congregation enrolled." Twice .every month the negro deaf meet at Ilartzell Center with a some what similar program to that given for the other members of the church. Chicago's work for the deaf began in 1880. The permanent church was or ganized in 1803. The Itcv. Mr. Hasen stab came here from the state school for the deaf at Jacksonville to organize a congregation. Recently the work has grown to include three state schools for the deaf in 50 cities. ALBERTA CROPS SPOILED BY MIDSUMMER SNOW Foothills Are White and Temperature Is Close to Freezing.

W.. Aug. 2. —Experi- ments in cotton raising in New South Wales have been so successful as to more than double the cofton acreage in tlie estimate for next year. This increase in acreage is due to the discovery that cotton grows better under the conditions existing in the northern parts of the Australian continent than in other sec tions. The cotton grown experimentally in the North Australian districts brings | about one cent, a pound more than that of other sections. In addition to produe ! ing a higher grade of cotton, the plants | have been most prolific, and at Bonalbo. ias many ! ed from a single plant. 1 The estimated cotton acreage for next ! year in New South Wales is 35,000 j acres, and a ready market already awaits I this growth, for the English spinners I are eager to buy cotton grown within the | Empire. Although it will he many years before j tiie effect of Australian cotton will be i felt in the world's market, the experi ! mental stage lias been passed and it is ! expected that great strides will be made jin production during the next decade. Another important factor. less to the j liking of the great. English mill owners, j is tin* appearance of a few independent mills in Australia. While the produc tion of these mills is at the present time insignificant, they are capable of grow ing with the increased domestic cotton production. DEFENSE OPENS IN TIIE GARRETT TRIAL A. M.

Clyde Tutt’e, his son-in-law, in a pis tol duel in the kitchen of the .Tones' residence* 110 Pearson street, shortly after 7 o’clock last night. Judge Jones was taken to Wesley Long hospital where surgeons pronounce his condition as very serious. An opera tion performed immediately after the shooting revealed that the intestines were perforated in seven places by the bullet. Surgeons say that while not necessarily critical, the wounded man’s condition is serious, the greatest dan ger being in the possible development of, peritonitis. , Tuttle was placed in the country jail about midnight and is held without bail pending the outcome of his father-in law’s injifries. Judge Jones was shot through the right lower abdomen. Although he re mained on his feet and walked several hundred feet to a motor car which car ried him to the hospital it. is said that he was in a greatly weakened condition from loss of blood when he reached the operation table.

(2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance. This Opinion of Premier Baldwin, of Great Britain, Who Has Studied Belgian and French Notes. LORD CURZON IS OF SAME OPINION Thinks Notes of French and Belgians Make Further Ef forts Futile at the Pres ent Time. London. Aug. 2.—(By the Associated Press). —Prime Minister Baldwin joined with Lord' Curzon. the foreign secretary, in informing Parliament today that the replies by France and Belgium to the British reparations note seemed to hold oirt no prospect fur a settlement of the Ruhr situation in the near future, nor the opening of a discussion regarding reparations. < Mr. Raldwinn began his statement by reviewing the British draft reply to Ger many's last note. He said the British government had expressed the opinion that while nothing should be done which would be inconsistent with the stipula tions of the Versailles treaty, advantage could be derived if impartial experts co operating with the reparations commis sion should examine Germany's capacity to pay. The reply also pointed out. Mr. Bald win said, that the economic value of such a step must largely depend upon factors not mentioned in the German memorandum* such as stabilizing the mark and balancing the budget and that no guarantee could be effective unless provision were made for some form of international control over the German financial administration. Great Britain had submitted to the other allies the draft of a joint allied re ply to the last German reparations com munication, and great Britain had at tached very great importance to the dis patch of such a reply, the Premier said. Neither France nor Belgium, however, had mentioned this reply in their answer to the British communication, and Great Britain, to the regret of her government, I was unable to find in these responses ! sufficient material for the dispatch of a * joint allied reply to Germany. ; Lord Curzon Speaks. London, Aug. 2 (By the Associated Press.) —Lord Curzon said in the House ot Lords today that the French and the ITefgfhn replies to recent ftritish repa rations note appeared to hold out no prospects of an early settlement of the situation in the Ruhr, nor of a com mencement of a discussion on repara tions.
