Washington. Sept. 12.^Grteat Britain probably will begin the payment of interest on her war* debts to th's country before arrangements are made for the funding of the >${5,000,000,000 of obligation, it was indicated today at the treasury. On October 15, officials declared, the first installment of interest on the British debt amounting to $65, 000,000 falls due and, although a British financial mission has been expected to leave England in time to begin funding negotations with the American debt commission by the latter pare of the month, so'far this country has not been notified of its impending1 departure. With September nearly half gone officials expressed the 'belief that funding arrangements could not be worked out with Great Britian before the latter part of October. As the 'British debt nowStands there is $4,135,000,000 of principal and $611,000,000 of interest falling due over the three years ending last April which was deferred by mutual understanding until funding plans could be adopted, so that the Oct. 15th installment Would be the first interest actually to fall due and payable. As yet, according to treasury officials. there has been no direct com municati^ fTom Great Britain of | that nation's plans to meet the Oct. 15 payment, but tihat the amount due will be forthcoming Is regarded as practically certain in view of statements by British statemen indicating that financial preparations were being made for the> purpose. - INCOME TAX IS DUE Third Installment Must Be Met By Friday Night. f-, Columbia, Sept. 12.?The thfrd installment of the federal income tax will be due Friday, notices to this effect having already been sent out by the office of the collector here. Those who are paying on .the "install ^nt plan" will have to mail the ^rtird payment in before midnight of Friday night.

He died at about 12 o'clock, physicians being surprised that he lived this long as the bullet went straight through from temple to temple. From accounts, it seems that Mrs Allen had come to her mother for protection from her husband as he is alleged to have abused and illtreated her, She had been home a>bout five weeks. The brother of Mrs Allen, James McAll'ster, stated that Allen had always "treated my sister mean." but that this was the first time that she had left him. iMrs. McAllister, Sr., Was living with her son and his wife, at No. 38 Hammett street She kept house for tile couple while they both worked in the cotton (mill.

CONFERENCE AGE R ON BONUS PLAN BILL REPORTED TO THE HOUSE C( ; TUESDAY.?DECJDED THAT CONFERENCE REPORT O N i TARIFF MUST FIRST BE DISPOSED OF. ! Washington, Sept. 12.?Conferees : on soldiers' bonus bill reached an re agreement late today and it was an- er - rounced that the measure would be sti , reported tomorrow to the house. It jei > will not be called up there, however, fe , until after the conference report on T1 i the tariff bill has been disposed of, Di; , which may be on Wednesday or - Thursday. After the house acts the i bonus will go to the senate where ' also it is to be put behind the tariff. ^ Four major changes were made in tic i the bill in conference. They were: f0 1 Elimination of the Simmons a- pi; ! mendment authorizing the financing ci s of the bonus out of interest from ci: ' the foreign debt. Elimination of the land reclama- 'n. tion feature which, under the senate m< ' plan embodied in the Smith-McNary B. 5 reclamation bill, would have involv- S* [ ed an gcpenditure of $350,000,000. ' TVio hmi+inc nf thp timp in which I ?? ? ?- ?- ? veterans might file applications for H. ' a bonus to January 1, 1928. , Acceptance of the house provision ^ fixing the amount to be advanced 50 for farm or home aid to the amount ve , of the adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent, in place of ^ | the senate plan of amounts ranging ei ' from 100 per cent, of the adjusted ^ service credit if the application were in made in 1923 to 140 per cent, if application were made in 1928 or 00 thereafter. *? No important change was made in , to the adjusted service certificate op jtion with its provisions for plans to ^ veterans by banks in the next three ' years and for government loans ^ thereafter. The "vocational training aid option and the provision for cash pr< cas payments to veterans whose adjusted service credit would not exceed ^ $50 also were unchanged. , 1 del Much of the three hours' session an, of the conferees was understood to bo have been devoted to a discussion pfr of whipping the bill into such a 0f shape as would meet the publicly ex- pr( pressed objections of President trz , Harding. It was represented by some of the Republican managers that the measure probably would have a bet- frc ter chance of presidential approval gh, without the Simmons amendment and the reclamation option and, ac- mj cordingly, those were voted out. 0f th< TOBACCO CROP PROFITABLE er( Mr. Quick Sells Tobacco Crop For ?
