NO. 7, HINDU AND MOSLEM DISAGREE ON MUSIC AT RELIGIOUS SERVICE Mohammedans have no mu* ic at their religious Services LEAVE MOSQUE IN BODY AS PROTEST (By Associated Press) BANGALORE, India, Jan. 24,— Friction between Hindu and Mos lem communities 'Has resulted in serious disturbances in Tiptur, in Mysore province, during recent weeks. Numerous assaults have been 1 reported, and on several occasions1 the shops have had to close their doors. Special police forces ■have been called out, and now have ^ the situation well under control. The cause of these disturbances lies in part in the differing attitudes of Hindus (and Mohammedans re garding music. Hindu religious cer emonies are usually accompanied by] music. Mohammedans have no mus ic at their services, and are serious- ] ly disturbed when interrupted by musical sounds. In 1882, the government permit ted t.he reconstruction of a mosque within the Hindu quarters, with the distinct understanding that the Mo hammedans should on no account object to possessions with music pas sing in front thereof. The Moham medans now contend that since mus ic was never played before this mos que from 1882 to almost the pres ent time, permission should always be disallowed for possessions with music in that place. The Hindus, on the other hand, have been asking since 1920 for permission to take an image procession in the streets absolutely without restrictions. The government, after a prolonged in quiry, decided to admit $h$ Hindu claim. The present trouble began at the time of the Dusserah procession last {September. On this occasion the government refused to grant a lic ense, on account of the excited feel ings of both communities and the influx of irresponsible crowds in the city. In the following month, how ever, a procession was allowed. Be fore the procession occurred, the Mo hammedans left the mosque in a body as a protest, and the procession passed quietly. This incident led to high feelings between the two communities. Many individual assaults occurred, and general apprehensions of a beach of the peace were prevalent. On ac count of threatened violence, the Hindu shops were closed for two f|ays. The district magistrate was .called and, with a large police for ce reached the place in time to pre vent further disorder. Reinforce ments are now present, and are keep ing careful watch over the district. DR. SAWVER HOLDS PRESIDENT FOR MORE REST (By Associated tress) .

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Re ports received by the United Sta tes Bureau of Mines from state in spectors indicate that 1950 fatalit ies was the toll of human lives ex acted in the coal industry during 1922. This is a tentative figure bas ed on actual reports covering elev en months and an estimate for De cember based upon the probable out put of coal for the month. The es timate represents a reduction of 23 fatalities from the total for 1921, but will not represent a lowering of the death rate, in relation to the quantity of coal produced, the ac cident rate will be actually higher than for the previous year, the re port said. Master Charles Simpson is about well and enjoying the snow with his sled. 3hone you Subscription to Gasetto, HELD CUBA NEEDED NO MESSAGE TO BE PROUD OF RECORD Year 1922 was prosperous And this year will be Still Better BUDGET REDUCTION RECORD (BREAKER (By Associated Press) HAVANA, Jan. 24.—Cuba need ed no holiday message from Presi dent Alfred Zpyas to prompt if to point with pride to the nation’s ac complishments in 1922, and view with rosey hope its plans for 192.1, it is explained at the presiedtal pa ace in accounting for the chief exe cutive’s failure to issue the custom ary document. The facts speak for themselves, it is declared in official quarters, and the facts, as set forth under the head of 1922 accomplisli ' ments, follow: | Budget reduction in round num bers from $132,000,000, to $53, j 000,000, accompanied by adminis trative reforms. Orderly partial elections on Nov. 1st., although the official returns have n6t yet been made public. Reformation of the National Lot tery involving the disappearance of $10,000,000 a year in illegal collec tions. Progress in the following direct ions:—Restoration of normal finan cial conditions through the authori zation of a $50,000,000 foreign loan classification of nearly $70,000,000 unpaid current indebtness; liquids tin of the 18 parent and 300 branch banks which closed as a result of the 1920 crack; tariff revision; bank ing legislation; electoral and judi cial code reform; revision^ of the reiprocity treaty with the United States; taxation reforms. Hopes for a Happy New Year are based, more or less on what is ex pected to result from the accom plishments of 1922 and from the successful consumption of tasks well begun, but still incomplete. The economies already implanted the new taxation as yet unproduc tive of the $50,000,000 loan after Jan. 12, are confidently expected to restore prosperity. Prospects for a 4,000,000-ton sugar crop at a price not far from 4 cents a pound are not listed as exactly ‘ bearish”. OIL SHALE READY WHEN PETROLEUM SUPPLY IS GONE (Bv Associated rress) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—When the flow of that liquid gold known as petroleum gives sign of slacken ing, and as a consequence the na tion’s millions of automobiles and tractors and motor busses seem like ly to diminish for lack of fuel the far-stretching reserves of oil shale in the United States stand out as the most important resources of substitutes for petroleum oils, says the United States Bureau of Mines. These shales, veritable untapped resorvoirs of oil, underlie enormous areas of the country. Those of the most economic importance occur in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyom ing. Great areas of black shale oc cur however, in various eastern sta tes, notably Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, and other shales are found in many states. The economic impor tance of oil shale is that when the industry is properly developed, the United States will have a new do mestic supply of mineral oils, which cannot be cut off in time of war, and which will always be ready to help meet the nation’s demand for oil.
