CONSTANTINOPLE, "July 22. Iron shutters have. probably caused M more riots, massacres, ana pogrons n the Levant than politfcal agita tors. All shops In the Near East are provided with rolling iron shutters which, work in iron grooves. When they are banged down they make as milch noise as a machine-gun. Every time there is rumor of , any sort of rouble some timid merchant slams down his shutters to protect his plate glass. Without investigating the cause other merchants follow Instant ly with such a clatter that the public becomes panicky and rushes about trying to discover the cause of the flurry.1 -,-v .. - 'A At 'such moments, excited .' crowds will credit any rumor which is put Into circulation. Pickpockets avail themseleves of such 't opportunities. Soapbox orators, street fakirs - and magicians gather crowds by this de vice. In any Turkish city the circu lation of a rumor that a movement is to be started against Christians will cause all the Armenian and Greek shops to close within a few minutes, and frequently the noisy closing of the shops fans the' religi ous hatred of the MoslemB Into action. INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE INSURING BOOZE (By Aaaoclated Preaa. NEW YORK, July 22.

Investigation made by some of the affected property owners showed that in at least one instance the drain leading down to the river, has been clogged for several days and while the authorities1 were notified no steps had or have been, taken to relieve the situation and it is feared that the next heavy rain wil see a .repetition of i ' Wednesdayg "flood." 3F GRAHAM TRAGEDY ARE DRYING OU NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, confine himself to Trail's.

Amend ment of the new waterpower act so as to exclude, the national parks from its provisions will be demand ed 'of congress at Its next, session, it Is announced by Robert Sterling Yard,, executive secretary of the Na tional Parks Association. Mr. Yard also says that a fight will be made to have congress reject pending leg islation, which lie asserts, opens the way for Irrigation , projects to draw, on the, parks for water. ( i . Without r amendment, ' Mr. Yard says the waterpower act Is "the death warrant of, pur national parks sys tem," because all government owned land' and reservations are embraced within, Its terms, making it possible for; private Interests to erect dams, powneT-hous;es, transmission tines; and other 'structures by obtaining leases - A. 1- M J . 1 1 A. i"rai waterpower comml8- It was not until the waterpower bill reached : President ' Wilson for approval that discovery was made by conservationists that national parks would be affected,, and now the fight, Mr, Yard says, will be made for its amendment. . - , ; . Besides the effort to change' the waterpower act, Mr. . Yard says ' an effort will be made to prevent favor able action on pending legislation, granting permission to private inter ests to build an irrigation . reservoir in an obscure swamp in the south western corner of the, Yellowstone national park, miles from any road. This measure, he asserts, would be the opening wedge for a number of irrigation plans for other national parks. ' Mr. Yard anticipates that other legislation, including a proposal for damming Yellowstone lake, will be brought before congress, all of which he contends would tend to destroy the beauty of America's playgrounds. ''The conservation associations and many institutions throughout the country," Mr. Yard says, "are even organizing now for the' defense of the parks. Our new national parks system has fairly caught the imag ination of this idealistic and very practical people, who see In it not only a. system of exhibits of the na tive .American wilderness, untouched, for all time, but the beginning of a colossal national economic asset which shall enormously spur domes tic travel and business,, and bring increasing thousands of foreign visi tors here every summer to see them. Any ", legislation which will detract from the value of the name national park as a national trade-mark in the competition for the world's travel is likely to arouse a mighty storm of popular protest.' AFTER DEEP WATER Met With Government Engineer Wednesday Evening and Dis , ' cussed Matter Business men, members of the chamber of commerce, met Wednes day evening and discussed with gov ernment engineer Harry T. Paterson the possibility of securing deeper waterways between NEW BERN and the : inland waterway' canal, thence to the ocean. Mr. Patterson went into detail as to juat what would have to be done before the River could be deepened to the extent thai boats of deep draught could come to this city.

TRIED TO BRING ABOUT . BREAK WITH GERMANY ; (By - Aaaoclated Preaa.) ' KEMPTEN, Bavaria, July 22. England's late king, Edward VII, once tried -" to persuade Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria to break away from - Germany, says General von Hoetzendorff former command- er-inchief of the Austria army. The general declared in a speech here the other day that the ' fidelity of Franz Joseph to the German-Austria al liance, was often questioned but, in spite of many temptations, he had remained faithful to the pact. . , -'Fifteen years ago," he went on, when r had just become chief of the general staff, the .Emperor remarked to me in his peculiar way, Do you know " that ' lying Edward has been visiting me fttiJschl and earnestly trying to weatt aefawriy from, otir -alliance, with Germany?; But , I re fused. - v.v-: . y x ':r';.A i ?-;. "The Emperor saw the war- danger coining, but he kept true to the al liance, whose spirit still lives In our nations. What, has existed for more than 30 years in peace and war will never die out. Such a country as Germany can never perish, and Austria will always stand by her side." PARIS TRANSPORT SYSTEM TO BE IMPROVED (By Aaaoclated Preaa.)

The first of a series of hearings in the $18 0,000 lumber suit of the Butters Lumber Company against the Wil liamson & Brown ; Land & Lumber company and the Montgomery Lum ber company, was held in this city in the Superior court room, before Referee Charles : G. Rose. Some twenty-five or thirty witnesses and attorneys were present at the hear ing, which was adjourned In the af ternoon to be resumed at Whiteville Thursday. Most of the evidence In the case is documentary and of a legal nature. The Butters Lumber company, of Boardmah, has brought suit for $160,000 against the defendants. both of which are North Carolina corporations. The suit was brought in Columbus county Superior court and Is based on a contract made be tween the Butters Lumber company and the Williamson & Brown Land and Lumber company, whereby the latter was to sell the former com pany fifty-two andV a half million feet of timber, lying in northeastern South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina. The Butters company claims there was only thirty-two million feet of timber on the land; and further that the Williamson & Brown company represented to them that it owned certain tracts which the Butters com pany claims to have found were not owned by the Williamson & Brown corporation. The plaintiff claims $150,000 for-the shortage of timber and $30,000 as damages Caused by extensive and expensive preparations to cut all of the fifty-one and a half million feet of timber, and by rea son of the scattered location of the timber, which, ti is claimed, made it impracticable to cut it at a profit. The Montgomery Lumber com pany is, made a party defendant be cause of the fact that it claims title to some of the timber sold to the plaintiff by the Williamson & Brown company. It is for the purpose of ad judicating all claims that the lat ter company is brought into the suit. The case was referred to Charles G. Rose, attorney, of this city, to act as referee and to review the volum- inous evidence and report his find - ings of fact and conclusions of law to Columbus Superior court. Nine of the most prominent lawyers in eastern North Carolina are engaged j as attorneys for the three companies.
