T OFFICERS IN EFFORT TO EXTEND BOYCOT Volunteers Revolt-When Offi cer Stop Attempts to In timidate Purchasers. CABLE REPORT BRIEF Set Fire to Police Station, and -Batter Occupants When They Try to Escape. LUCKNOW, India, April 19. One of the British officials stationed here gives the following: version of the annul nary nut break at Chsuri Chau ra, which hut been br:it v mentioned by cable. Chauri Chaura is police f i . a in the district of Gorakhpuv, Urited Provinces. In pursuance of the Gan- dhi non-cooperation policy of boy- cottjf bands of volunteers had been going round the village markets, in timidating and forcing people to avoid foreign cloth and liquor shops. The police officer of Chauri Chaura, whose duty it was to keep the peace ill his Circle, warned these volunteers on a market day against the conse quences of intimidating people, but the picketers paid no heed to this warning and threatened to punish the police officer. "On the date to thetragedy, Feb. 4. s large number of volunteers, fol lowed by thousands of ignorant and credulous villagers, carte Jn a pro cession and mae a demonstration be fore the police station. A howling mob of nearly '4,000 people, whose feelings had been worked up by the oratory Of the volunteers, surround ed the building. The staff which con sisted of two Indian officers nnd 18 men, tried their best to reason with the rioters but were pelted with brickbats picked up from the railway line. "Nine of the policemen who were armed with muskets fired cartridges in the air to scare away the mob. When the fire ceased the volunteers thottleit: "'Thanks to Gandhi, the bullets won't hurt you, and are all changing into water.' 1 "The howling band immediately advanced in a body and attacked the police building. The policemen, see ing no loop-hole of escape, bolted the doors from inside. ' The mob then set fire to the building. Some of the policemen perished in the flames and 'those who were driven out by the heat and smoke were assaulted with clubs and spears, besmeared with kerosene oil and thrown, back into the fire, there to suffer agony until life was extinct. Some of the armed policemen had obviously been batter ad to death by their own muskets. "This ghastly affair proved what non-cooperation means to the mass es in India. Indeed the tragedy has alarmed the non-cooperators them selves. "Pandit Hirday Nath Kunzru, one of the leading publicists of the Unit ed Provinces, after making indepenj dent inquiries on the spot came to the conclusion that congress volun teers oiganized and led the unpro voked attack on the police station and were responsible for the murder of the policemen. "Photographs of the police build ings and of the bodies of the victims portray the horrors that are likely to follow in many parts of India, if the revolutionary doctrines of the non-cooperators are allowed to run their course unchecked.", MARSHALL JOFFRE ARRIVES .WASHINGTON, April 19. Mar shall Joffre arrived hers today to re visit scenes to renew his acquaint ances of the days of 1917, when he headed the French war mission to the WHISTS A5SAUL ALL THE LOCAL AYS I'll WILL GET GOVE SEAT IN Mrs. Mowry Asserts Her "Main Plank" Will Be Greater Value From Officials. TOPEKA, Kans., April 19. A pathfinder rather than a politician, is Mrs. V. D. Mowry of Kansas City, Kari., whose name will go on the pri mary election ballots next August as the first woman gubernatorial candi date in Kansas. In filling her candi dacy, Mrs. Mowry also was the first person to register her-intentions for the August primaries. "Someone had to be the pioneer. I firmly believe that some day a wom an will sit in the governor's chair in Kansas," declared Mrs. Mowry. "I admit that I am not over-optimistic about my prospects for victory at theJ 1 prmui-y election, but I at least will blaze the way foi . i .e more success ful sister, later." Mrs. Mowry asserts that a greater "value received" for the salaries paid state officials and strict economy in expenditure of state funds are the "mafh planks" in her platform. "As to my platform, it seems to be self-explanatory," Mrs. Mowry said. "Everybody knows that some of our public officials might as well be on a lyceum course. I am in favor of less oratory and more office work. Kan sas has been first in most things; I would like to see her first in electing a woman governor." Mrs. Mowry is not s native Kan san, but she spent most of her life in this state. She wag born in Columbus, Indiana, coming to Kansas as a child and receiving her early education at the Osage Indian mission school, St. Paul, in Neoshe county. She later taught school in St. Paul and in Par sons, Kan. She has lived in Kansas City, Kan., sixteen years and if the wife of a wholesale druggist. Although active in local affairs, Mrs. Mowry expressly asserts that she is not "a society woman." She was president of the first Wyandotte (Kansas City) Republican club some years before national suffrage was enacted. Mrs. Mowry asserts she, is "old enough" frankly admitting "this side of forty and always will be." "It will take a course of education to persuade women tp accept the fact that a woman is perfectly capable as a'man to fill the office of governor," Mrs. Mowry asserted. "Too long have they confined their thought to things strictly domestic. I do not advocate that they should desert household cares. But they should expand men tally and realize in their wonderful opportunity to participate in public affairs. Womankind will not have come into her own until they take a more active part in active aud polit ical matters and have convinced themselves as well as the men that women are competent to handle any public office as well as the men can handle it." F RECLAMATION BILL WASHINGTON, April 19. The approval pf President Harding for the MeNary bill, providing the cre ation of $350,000,000 revolving fund to be used for the development ; of western and southern reclamation and drainage projects, was given the congressional delegation today.

AUSTRALIA Commonwealth Draws Three Million Pounds Yearly and Gives Nothing in Return SYDNEY, X. S. W., April 19. The possibility of a request by Tas mania for secession from the Aus tralian commonwealth was indicated at a gathering which assembled to bid farewell to the retiring governor, Sir William Allardyce, following the continued complaints by Tasmania of the unfair treatment she is receiv ing from the commonwealth. T. Murdoch M. L. C, declared that unless there were radical alterations in Tasmania's financial relations with the Commonwealth. His Excellency would probably find a deputation re- questing the Imperial authorities at London for relief. He said that the commonwealth is drawing about 3,- 000,000 pounds yearly from Tasma nia, which was compelled to share the cost of all federal public works on the mainland, which did not bene fit her, and that she received "hardly enything worth mentioning" in the return. NTEREST GROWING IN BAPTIST SERVICE Dr. J. F. Black, formerly of Dal las, Texas, but now of Albemarle, is more than living up to the great re putation that preceded him; he is proving himself to be one of the greatest preachers and Bible scholars tha has visited Tarboro.

Twenty three arrests were made during last night's disorders in the Marrowbone SECESSION ROM TARBORO, N. C, WEDNESDAY, APR. Breaking Faith With The Citizens of Rocky Mount At Nashville Saturday the County Democratic convention brought in the issue of the Rocky Mount road district, and may undertake to shac kle the aspirants for state senator and representative wfth a pledge that they will seek to annul the act which created this district and have Nash county returned to the old sys tem of working roads by the county as a unit. This means that the city will again be plunged into the muck and niii't of impassible roads at cer tain seasons, that Nashville as the natural center of the country will have its roads worked by the county rather than its road district and that the outlying districts, as Rocky Mt. out on the rim, can shuffle for it self and do the best it can. The county road force can announce they cannot get to roads in this district for they have too great a mileage somewhere else. The Rocky Mount road district was created out of the eternal justice of a need which was appreciated by the legislators who considered the matter and who were appreciative of the fact that the ave nues of approach to the city were in such ;i shape, and kept in such a shape that tobacco sales of twenty five million pounds had fallen to five and other industries and businesses were suffering alike. There was a truce struck and Rocky Mount agreed to abandon the new county fight, and to approve in unmistaken terms the new court house for Nashville, provided the concessions of the city recorder's court, the road district, the station ing of a deputy sheriff with an of fice etc. were permitted to remain status quo, and a hard surface road was built between Rocky Mount and Nashville. The democratic conven tion may be accredited with spring ing a surprise and equally as much with breaking the faith with a great rank and file of the citizenship that does not condone but rather criti cises their action. Had it ibeen gen erally known that the faith was not going to be kept and that the demo cratic convention was going to at tempt to strike down one of the greatest achievements and benefits aver enjoyed by this city, the county convention would have undoubtedly I been a livelier affair, and the nearly one-half of the voters from over this section of the county would have been on hand and would have been heard. It is true the court house at Nash ville has been built, it is true that Edgecombe is soon to be touched with its hard surface road, and al ready has its new court house, sup ported by a near half of the citizen ship in Edgecombe county from over in the Rocky Mount area. They are not going to ask the annullment of the Rocky Mount road district. If Nashville wants to make the fight in Hie name of the democratic party before the coming legislature, Rocky Mount citizenship in both Nash and Edgecombe is ready to stand square ly behind the Edgecombe represen tatives and to spend their time and money to see, nut that a new county is created, but that Rocky Mount re tains its road district thru the re peal of the act of 1872 establishing the boundary line between these two counties. The act of 1872 provided that the main line of the A. C. L. and not Tar river should be the boundary of Nash county, and thus the town built along the railroad was cat into half. If Nash county and Nashville citizens insist on not keeping the faith Rocky Mount's citizenship is ready to ask for the restoration of th old bound ary line, repealing this act snd let ting Rocky Mount be a united city in one county the county of Edge combe. In this they will have at least the sanction and approval of Edge 'tt'r!? TrnrcrTtlt: vc5. , , 19, 1922 The fight is on if Nashville folks want to break their pledges and re nounce the faith, and Nash county can have her hard surfaced road and her new court house and pay the bonds for their construction when they come due, which they will find is a harder task when they may have forced 50 percent of the taxable property and 45 percent of the pop ulation into another coun'ty. The action of Saturday was illy timed, does not represent the great rank and file of ithe citizenship of Nash county we feel confident, and if it dues it means a light to the fin ish. County conventions should not be stampeded in any such way, and it is high time right now that efforts in a renouncement of any such idea were rut in motion. Evening Tele gram. RUFFINIRE The Southerner , was informed this morning that the Ruffin to bacco warehouse on the 15th day of April .signed a contract with the cooperative marketing plan for the use of this splendid property. This is a large, commodious building with all the modern im provements for the handling of leaf tobacco.

Cremation is increasing in Great Britain, ac cording to figures given out at the annual meeting of the Cremation So- j ciety of England. For the first time in its historv of over 50 vear's. the meeting was presided over by a wo man. Mrs. Spencer Graves. Last year 1922 cremations took rflaee at the 14 crematoria in the country, that of Golders Green, in London, heading the list with 893. Among those cremated last year were judges, bishops, surgeons, peer esses, members of parliament, jour nalists, artists, soldiers, sailors and eminent women social workers. The present cost of cremation in England is roughly $30. Urns to hold the ashes are rarely used, the gen eral practice being to scatter ashei in thtf so-called "Gardens of Rest" adjoining the crematoria. EE BAR NOTE TONIGHT GENOA, April 19.

TEST BIG PROJECTILE Control Ship Ohio Soon to B Stripped and Placed on Sale With Other War Dogs. PHILADELPHIA, April 19. Pre parations are going forward at the Philadelphia Navy Yard toward plac ing the old battleship Iowa in condi tion for the day shortly when she will be sent to Davy Jones' locker some place off Cape Henry. Besides having the reputation of an old tighter, the Iowa may be bet ter known as the radio controlled vessel, or the ship without a crew. The radio-controlling- apparatus is. being removed from the Ohio, the Iowa's mother ship, and being placed ! aboard the destroyer Diekerson. j Escorted by the Diekerson, some time the latter part of this month, i the Iowa under her own steam will take her place in view of the whole Atlantic fleet, it was stated, and then be sunk. The idea of dismantling a vessel that has held its own at sea is to navy men just as gruesome as an execution. Sinking a ship in its own element with big shells is another matter and when the Iowa takes her last long dive into the deep there will be no mourners. It has not been determined exact ly how the old man of war is going to be sunk, but it probably Will be done with big guns from the dread noughts of the fleet. Tests of the armor-piercing quali ties of new projectiles and n.-w guns are to be made in addition to the tests of the radio control. The old vessel is slow and to a certain ex- . i tent unwieldly. For two years the Ohio has' been the control ship of the Iowa, but with the little Diekerson usurping the place, the Ohio will be stripped of all removable parts and probably placed on sale with others of the fighting ships that were. TO T CONFERENCE GENOA, April 19. Whether Ger many will continue at the economic conference here is problematical. It s thought that while protesting against debarment from the commis sion in their reply to the allies, they will be content to remain. The German reply if expected to make the point that only the full conference has the power to bar them, and in this they arc supported by neutral nations, headed by Den mark. Hopes were expressed that the In ternational Monetary Convention, with America represented, would be convened soon to examine the finan cial situation of the whole -world. BERLIN, April 19.
