LOAN REFUSED. United States Will Not Lend Money to Republic of Liberia. The administration proposition to lend $5,000,000 to Liberia was killed by the senate this afternoon, says the New York World of Tuesday. It was the first, important matter of legislation advocated by President Harding to go by tho board, and.its defeat clearly shoved the senate's intention to igHtVe his recent attempts to assume pa/ty leadership. The resolution for rhe loan was recommitted to the finance committee without instructions or recommendations. The vote stood 42 to 33 on a motion of Simmons, (Democrat, N. C.) McNary, (Rep., Ore.) tried to .save the Borah amendment to appropriate $20,000,006 for the completion of irrigation projects. He moved that this item and the one offered by Harrison (Dern., Miss.) allowing $170,000 for improving Inspection of locomotive boilers, be retained and the committee instructed to report thera back. He lost 34 to 38. It is certain the finance committee | will put the mensui" to sleep unless ar. unexpected change in sentiment takes place. It is likely that Watson (Rep., Ind.) will move to reconsider. He voted for the Simmons motion to reserve that privilege. It has been evident for several days that the Liberian loan was in a bad way. There was nothing but admin- j istration influence to save it and that influence failed. The Democrats fought It unanimously, although the Wilson regime held there was a moral obligation to. lend Liberia the 85,000,000. "Because we loaned money to some nations during the war," said Reed (Dem., Mo.), "it does not follow we must loan to all nations that ask it now. Such arguments lead to a ridiculous conclusion." From an encyclopedia Reed read that- Liberia has a population of 2, 000,000, but only one in 500 is civilized. He said cannibalism was practiced within forty miles of the coast, and security for the loan would probaK1%# KA V?an A m r\t miakinnnripQ cont flVPT to civilize the natives. The idea of using the money to build good roads In Liberia was ridiculed by Mr. Reed. "We have not got money enough," he said, "to build roads for cannibals in Africa to take missionaries out and roast them." He challenged the right of congress to give the taxpayers* money to any other people*'Two motives, he asserted, are behind the proposed loan?to get back funds advanced by international bankers and to gratify the ambition of certain politicians to get the negro vote. TROUBLE EXPECTED. Conditions Not Yet Settled in the Hoiy Land. Very serious trouble is brewing in Palestine, according to the "News of the World," which states that General and other officials on the spot regard the future with "grave apprehension." The Arabs on the border and in Palestine itself, the paper says, may at any time attack the Jewish immigrants they regard with "deep rooted hostility.". The government's authority is bei*ng openly clouted by what is known a? the "Moslem Christian association." A manifesto has been issued calling "upon the population to disobey the instructions issued for the taking of the census, and the association has decided to-invoke the aid of Kemal Pasha, xne TurKisn .^auonansi ieaaer. "Our position," continues the News of the World, "is amazing. In effect, witho.ut, any advantage to ourselves, and under a mandate from the league of nations, we are holding Palestine at a cost of many millions a year for tl.e benefit of Jewish immigrants, and thus incurring the hostility of the Aral i. "We may shortly find ourselves laced ixr Palestine with a situation similar to that in Turkey. We shall either have 'to fight or give way. The question is what would we be fighting for, and what would we gain by fighting?" "The problem is not an easy one," the paper adds. "Owing to the action of Great Britain, America and France, thousands of Jews have gone to settle in Palestine. It would be interesting to know how much per head per annum each Jewish immigrant is.costing Great Britain. "The scheme for the settlement of the east has broken down, in a great measure, owing to the neglect of the United States to back up the treaties which she took so great a part in preparing. But whatever may be the ! cause now is the time for peaceful ac- I tion and for definition of a policy." PESTERED BY SUITORS. Hundreds Seek to Marry an Indian Heiress. Hundreds of fortune hunters from j nil parts of the world are seeking: the ; hand of Exle Fife, 18. beautiful Cher- I okee Indian girl, whose oil lands are i valued at $30,000,000. Six months ago Exio's name was | barely known to the postmaster of ; Fame, the little Indian village near Muskogee, Okla., where she gets her mail. Now the volume of the incoming correspondence threatens to swamp the rural carrier. Each mail brings a fresh batch of proposals and scores of other letters \ asking charity, donations, etc. The self-styled suitors mean nothing j in Exie's young life, for she has her i farmer boy, Burlin Jackson, 21, to j whom she is engaged. Burlin is not a fortune hunter. The $3O.0t?n.Of?ft is merely an incident in his romance with Kxie, which started four years ago. before the girl ever dreamed u? oil or riches. Many of the applicants for the Indian girl's hand would be interested, perhaps to know what become.1; of theif photographs. Tacked on the wall ! of tjle cabin, they compose a unique 1 *f |t . y - Y.

I Senator Dial Says He Will Continue to Fight Confirmation. Joe Tolbert, Republican national committeeman for South Carolina, now United States marshal for the Western district of South Carolina by recent appointment of President Harding, after the senate had failed to act on his nomination, was again nominated for the position by President Harding on Monday afternoon. Speaking for himself and Senator Smith, Senator Dial said that the new j nomination of Tolbert would be fought i as vigorously as was the first nomina- i tion; that he and Senator Smith would j do all that was possible to prevent the j confirmation of Tolbert, that he had [ heretofore declared Tolbert unfit for j the position, and that he maintained j the same position now as when he j first fought the confirmation. The feeling in Washington among those who are conversant with the case, and who talked of the matter on | Monday night, is that Tolbert will not i be confirmed. The nomination has been referred to the senate judiciary i committee, and it is thought that again it will be rajerred to a sub-committee for investigation. The last sub- ! comnvttee to which it was referred, never met for final action and left the case in the air when the senate adjourned just before the election this year. ? The Soviet government, hesitating to wreck the statue of Alexander III, j standing on a square in Petrograd, ' has caused the following legend to be hewn into its base: "Your father and ; your son were executed by the people.

The parade started following a met t- t ing protesting against the imprisonment by the Irish Free State of Mary P McSwlney. Miss McSwiney's brother, ? Paul, was among the speakers. f j Police attempted to break up the fca- s rade when it was learned that no p?r- <3 mit was obtained, but they were beat- y en back by men and women wielding c clubs. Two policemen were knocked s out and disarmed. Attempts to break up the parade c were not successful, as the pardttei'3 c were strengthened by hundreds o^cu- t rious who did not seem to know,ttrhat I it was all about, but followed. \ When a dummy of King George\ was i set ablaze, a fire alarm was turned, in, t but the effigy was destroyed before the s engines arrived. Police asked that a hose be turned on the crowd, bii^ the t firemen refused. j, C It was midnight before the .^rowd t dispersed of its own accord. t . m . a THE CAROLINAS SAILS. f t First Charleston Owned Ship Goes to ii New York.

Retired Publisher Starts Hunting Expedition to Dark Continent. Circumnavigation of Africa and penetration into, the very heart of the Dark Continent," including regions ivhlch only two white persons?Stancy and Livingston, the great explorers ?have ever seen are the goals cf two exploring expeditions which recently icft Chicago. W. D. Boyce, the publisher, in the leader of one party. Dr. Richard B. IVctherill, retired surgeon and globe .rotter, of Lafayette, Indians, and rhomas Duncan, Lafayette manufacturer, have inaugurated the other ^xnedition. Boyce expects to utilize the raate*lal he collects in writing1 a book, renting the whole of Africa comprclensivcly in one volume. Wetherill ind Duncan expect to make an anhropological study of the head Iiunters ind natives of Central Africa. While Boyce's chief forays into the ntcrior. will be made from the west :oast, he having previously explored 3ther sections, he intends to visit all he countries of the continent. A "Balloonagraph Expedition" Into \frica in 1909 and 1910 first won fame 'or Boyce as an explorer. Frcm two jalloons, the first and last ever taken nto the jungles, he took aerial pnotofraphs of wild animals and native life, iig game hunting also occupied part of lis time on thai. trip. "Africa was the underlying cause of he world war," said Boyce, in outining the reasons which prompted lim to make this trip. "1 have a notion ilso that it will prove to be the underying cause of some future wars. At my rate, it becomes increasingly imjortant as European nations press heir claims and concessions there. "France in Africa la greater in teritory and population than i# France n Europe, and you could lose England n the British territory in Afrka, and t would be as difficult to find 11 again .3 the proverbial needle in a haytack. "The Turkish influence in North Africa is increasing, and that may be ndicative of profoundly important derclopments." Incidentally Boyce will renew his irevious acquaintances with big game, ilthough that is not the primary obect of the trip. He may interview av.age chiefs through the aic of a Iragoma, or interpreter, but chiefly he vill "look in" on every country of the ontinent. The trip will require from ix months to a year. When Boyce's book on Afi ica is ompleted he will have covered all the ountries south of the equator ?nd in he equatorial region of the world in lis various books of travel.
