POPE EXCLUDES WOMEN WITH
NECKS AND ARMS UNCOVERED
. Group Thus Attired is Barred Froin
Entering Vatican by Express Order of
His Holiness.
Rome. 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. His~Holiness, desir
ing to support the crusade of his bishops

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.

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.

* ♦ 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.

.NORTH AUSTRALIA MAKES
SUCCESS OF COTTON PLANT
I So Successful as to Mere Than Double
i Estimate of Acreage Next Year.
ftyuney, N. 8. 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.

THE COTTON MARKET
Overnight Buying Orders Carried Ae
tiee Contracts 15 to 20 Points Higlier
at the Opening.
New York, Aug. 2. —An accumulation
of itrernight buying orders carried the
active cotton contracts 15 to 20 points
higher at the opening today and there
appeared to be a good deal of bullish
sentiment throughout the market, as a
result of yesterday’s sensational govern
ment report. Although the English
markets were inclined to discredit the
report, they nevertheless showed a good
deal of strength at the time of the local
opening, because of reported hot winds
fir T?*xhs and a fact of raip jn that set
tion.
Cotton futures opened firm. Oct.

MOONSHINER’S RIG DOGS
FAIL TO DO THEIR DUTY
Fawn Upon Armed Bay State Raiders
Wfeo Seize His Stills.
Palmer. Mass.. Aug. 2.—Armed with
a riot gun and side-arms, a squad of
State policeman, two federal officers
and patrolmen from Palmer and Monson
this afternoon raided a moonshine plant
on Moulton Hill, arrested Paul Bianco
and a companion and confiscated forty
gallons of moonshine and three 30-gallon
stills.
Though forewarned hy anonymous
threats that the operator of this still
would "get" any officer who came near,
the raiders encountered little resistance.
Even the pack of eight big dogs, con
sidered an important link in the alleged
defense, fawned about the officers.
FORMER JUDGE JONES
SHOT BY F. C. TUTTLE
Son-In-Law Declares He Fired ia Self-
Defense. —Pistol Duel in Kitchen.
Greensboro News.
Former City Judge C. A. Jones was
shot and dangerously wounded by I’.
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.
The shooting occurred during an
altercation between the two and was
the culmination of a long series of
domestic difficulties, according to Mrs.
Jones, wife'of the wounded man.
Mr. Tuttle told a Daily News reporter
that he shot m sellf-defense. declaring
that Judge .Tones fired one shot point
blank at him, missing and that he drew
his gun and shot to frighten his father
in-iaw to keep him from firing again-
The. shooting occurred in the kitchen,
there being only one eye witness. Mrs.
Tuttle. Judge Jones’ daughter. She wa«
in a hysterical condition last night and
could give, no coherent account of the
happening.

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. The British draft of reply to
[Germany was not mentioned in the com
munication from Paris or Brussels, he
I added.
J He added' that* Great Britain could
j not find in French and Belgian responses
enough material for sending a joint re
ply to the last German note. Great
Britain has attached very great im
portance to the dispatch of such a re
ply. • "
Great Britain and France Still Apart.
London. Aug. 2 (By the Associated
(Press). —Great Britain and France stand
still further apart in their attitudes to
i ward Germany than the British people,
; and probably the world at large have un
i derstood. This seems to be the conelus*
l ion drawn from the explanations drawn
jby Prime Minister Baldwin and Ism!
Curzon gave the two houses of Parlia
! ment today of the position resulting from
j the latest British .attempt to lay the
; foundation of. a united policy,
j The ministers revealed that the latest
| communication froin France and Belgium
furnish no material for an allied ans
wer to the German reparation proposal
and they brought to light a surprising
deadlock in the correspondence. Neither
the French nor Belgian reply, they stat
ed. even mentioned tite draft note to
Germany which Great Britain had sub-'
initted to the two allied governments.
Apparently the French and Belgian
communications were limited to reply
ing to Great Britain's note sent with the
note or dealt only with generalities.
Will Publish Notes.
Paris, Aug. 2 (By the Associated
Press). —If the British government de
mands publication of the documents re
cently exchanged between the allied gov
ernments on reparations the French gov
ernment will agree to this request, it
was announced today, and will itself
publish the French note as soon as it
receives consent of the other powers,
notably Belgium.
A Man With Six Senses.
London. Aug. 2.—A man who posses
ses a sixth sense has been disevered in
a village in Norway, according to ad
vices from Christiana. Several times,
