iui m apeeuy ana sausiactory settlement
for the protection of minorities
in Turkey when, in an address at this
afternoon's session, he insisted upon
an exchange of the Greek population
in Anatolia for the Turks in Macedonia.
He demanded exclusion of all
foreign interference in Turkey, which
he said would protect the remaining
minorities, as the Turks had always
been able to get along with other nationals
when they kept out of politics
and were not stirred up by outside
influences.
Ismet declared Turkey would not
accept Lord Curzon'a proposal to
f have the league of nations administer
the affairs of the minorities, as
that would mean the foreign powers
Would continue their interference in
Turkish affairs and encourage the
minorities to appeal to the league of
IT nations. This plan, he asserted,
I " would result in the exploitation of mi4
norities for political ends under "the
lying clpak of humanitarianism."
The Turkish chief delegate review
. ea tne enure mstory ox xurney irom
r,' ike time of the conquest of Constantinople.
The Turks, he said, had lived
peacefully with the Greeks and Aragainst
the Mohammedans under the
pretense that Russia was the protector
of orthodox Christians in Turkey.
He charged Russia was being responsible
for the attack Gladstone
made on Turkey in behalf of the Armenians
and maintained that the so
called Turkish atrocities against Armenians
frequently had been in the
nature of reprisals for pogroms perpetrated
by the Armenians through
encouragement from Russia, which
wanted some excuse for invading
Turkey.
"The. Armenians brought the massacres
on themselves," Ismet Pasha
declared.
"They have abused Turkish generosity
and dabbled in politics. Jews
have never had any trouble In Turkey;
that proves that the Greeks and
the Armenians have been responsible
for their difficulties in Turkey; they
were fired by the example of ther
Greeks, the Bulgars and Serbia to
imitate them in the hope of settling
the Turkish government."

Fodral Question
In Case of Jeffords
Washington, Dec. 12.?All that remains
for Frank M. Jeffords to do is
to die. William H. Taft, chief justice
of the supreme court, declared
twu?y U1Hb til U1C tuiuiuo MV .?? eral
question was involved.
The chief justice took the case under
advisement Sunday afternoon following
an argument and a filing of a
brief by Jeffords' attorney, Jesse B.
Adams of Washington.
Mr. Adams attempted to make the
point that Jeffords had not had a fair
and impartial trial in the sense thet
the constitution of the United States
guarantees such a trial to all defendants.
As previously reported, Mr.
Adams had little hope of convincing
the chief justice that the supreme
court should take cognizance of the
situation, but made the attempt in a
final effort to save his clientJeffords

CANNOT REACH
AN AGREEMENT
Lausanne, Dec. 13 (By the Associated
Press).?Turkey today refused
to assign any special part of Turkey
as Armenian national home at a session
of the Near East peace conference.
They declared this to be a new
attempt to dismember Turkey. It was
also asserted that Turkey would not
accept regulation rights of minorities
by the international commission.
Lord Curzon warned Ismet that
Turkey would be without sympathy
wnjr wu?e ix me conierence broke
down over the question of minorities.
The question was then submitted to
the subcommission. Ismet appeared
that the Greeks and Armenians were
unhappy because they put themselves
in an aggressive position and had been
supported by other countries.
Lausanne, Dec. 12 (By the Associated
Press).?Ismet Pasha, head of
the Turkish delegation, dashed the
hopes of the Near Eastern conference

MOB LYNCHES
SECOND NEGRO
Perry, Fla., Dec. 12.?The second of
the two negroes arrested Friday in
connection with the murder of Miss
ituby Hendry, school teacher, the previous
Saturday, was lynched last
night. Arthur Young was taken
from the officers as they were attempting
to transfer him to another
jail. Charlie Wright was burned at
the stake Friday night after a mob
of several thousand men had taken
him from the officers as they brought
the two negroes into town.
The lynching occurred on the highway
leading from Madison, about
seven miles from here and did not
become generally known until today.
Hofnila nomrt a??am

were uncommunicative on the subject
and there was little tendency in any
other quarter to discuss the latter.
Sheriff Lipscomb, it is understood,
had received orders to remove the
negro to another county for safekeeping.
His connection, if any with
the murder of Miss Hendry, was still
a question in the popular mind, while
the authorities had announced they
were holding him for further investigation.
Young had been taken from
the officers last Friday night with
Wright and taken to the scene of the
crime. Just before he was burned to
death, Wright exonerated Young, but
said he had been assisted by another
negro whose identity he failed to dis^
close. The mob at that time returned
Young to the authorities.
Sheriff Lipscomb would not discuss
the lynching tonight further than to
admit that he had been overpowereJ
on the road and the negro taken.
The negro's body was riddled with
bullets and then left dangling from a
tree. The number comprising the
moy*could not be learned.
Deputized citizens who have been
guarding negro buildings for several
nights as the results of several having
been burned were removed today.
Authorities said they felt there was
no further danger o fdisorder.

NO MOTIVE FOR
! SLAYING WOMA1
Richmond, Va., Dec. 12.?After
full day of investigation and probii
into the past iives of the two prim
pals, police detectives tonight admi
, ted that they had failed to establii
a motive for the killing of Mrs. Th?
ma Richardson, stenographer, iwl
was shot to death late yesterday ,
, the home of Thomas Pollard, real e
i state und insurance man, or to asce
tain the exact manner in which tl
young woman was shot.
Two theories of the killing are b
ing considered by the authorities. Oi
; is that Pollard shot the girl followir
;' a quarrel, probably on the belief th
, I she was about to kill him. The oth
' fVlCiAW on/) fko Attn J
VOVV& J f UIIU vur Vliu III TVU1V11 vnc VI
,! tectives are inclined to place mo
I credence, is that the young worm
, I was shot accidentally during a stru;
, I gle for possession of the pistol, whii
; is said to have belonged to her.
1 In searching today for a motive f
the killing, which has been charge
to Pollard, the authorities turned the
, i attention to J. Mosby West, who a
eompanied Mrs. Richardson to Pc
, lard's home, and who is held as i
accessory. According to the dete
; tives, West claims that he did n
, i know the object of the woman's vis
,' to the Pollurd home. West declar
,! that he remained in his automobile
> front of the house while Mrs. Richar
,, son went to the front door. He sa
[ i he could not hear the conversation b
tween the couple and could not s
i! which party had the gun when tl
, j shot rang out.
lj West's story of his and the w
j man's movements yesterday as the d
I tective repeated it tonight was th
he went to Mrs. Richardson's hor
shortly afternoon and brought h
j to the city in his atuomobile. He
credited with having told the pol?
j that he and the woman went to h
I office where they ate a light luni
about 3 o'clock, going from there
the. Pollard home.
Preliminary hearihg of the charg
l against Pollard and West were pos
poned until Thursday, when the cas
| were called in police court today. T1
postponement was at the request

William Pierce Ham, brother of t
slain woman, will accompany the ca
ket to the Georgia city.
Pending the preliminary hearii
Pollard and West are at liberty <
the bonds they gave last night. P<
lard's bail is $10,00, while West's
$500.
Mrs. Richardson, who was former
Miss Thelma Ham, a daughter
Mrs. Belle Ham, came to Richmoi
about six years ago. She was ma
lied t? Herbert Richardson, Jr.,
1917. Richardson later entered t!
army and served until after the armi
tiee, being discharged in 1919. Whi
ho returned home his wife was wor
ing in the office of Thomas Pollard.
The Richardsons separated a fc
months later and finally were c

divorce puroceedings it is said. Mi
Richardson continued to work for P<

leaving his employ she has lived

Richmond.
Herbert Richardson, Jr., tonight r
fused to confirm or deny the repoi
which originated in Atlanta yeste
day, that there were prospects of
reconciliation and remarriage betwe<
himself and his former wife.

many things that need not be proved

to say. I came to this country to
'a accomplish a duty which nobody aska'
ed me to accomplish. I came to apr(*
peal to- the American mind and the
x" answer came from American hearts.
"My dear friends I have seen your
soldiers in this bloody, cruel war. I
am a witness for them if they need
Ml .any. I know from the first moment
when the. enemy saw them, they did
ed not want to pro on with war verj
ay much longer. You have done splenon
did work,, as great, I , should saj
>y- greater tt^an could be expected iron
lea but there remains a duty durifu
ted peace, and the greatest part of i
ter was beautifully accomplished by th<
ladies that I have beside me, whe
with generosity, with kind hearts to
ward those who had suffered so much
did more than they could have been
ne expected to do.
ick "For this I am not to thank you?
that is not enough. I do not believe
>m in reward. 1 think each good heart
is its best reward to itself,
at "I want simply to tell you that
lis we acknowledge it, that we are ever
thankful for It. When the Amerii*e
cans came they raised among us
great hopes. We had been promised
Jc end of the war, pity, generosity,
en all the great dreams that man has
when promenading with himself under
the 6tars. Those dreams have
es never been realized. We were tolJ
they were going to be and we all beIlieved
it. But now a sorry time has
come. No more question of killing,
of dying, of inflicting wounds ann
te^ bleeding. Now the time for peace,
10 that is, for duties which may be
c* harder than it seems.
"America left after having disinterested
herself from the execution
of the treaty. I know the feeling was
all right. I do not suspect a moment
iet that there was in American heads
,ee anything than this, that they had
,e" accomplished their duty and could
leave the right to other times."

COTTON CROP
E FALLS SHORT
j. Washington, Dec. 12 (By the Asjg
sociatod Press).?This year's cotton
h production is the smallest in 20
j years, excepting last season's small
crop, but, based on December 1 farm
e prices, it is the fourth most valuable
ever grown with an aggregate of
,| 11,134,608,456, not including the value
of !inter cotton and cotton seed which
n will total many millions of dollars
, more.
"e The crop this year was placed today
by the department of agriculture
f in its final estimate of the season,
' 4.767,262,000 pounds of lint, which Is
equivalent to 9,964,000 bales of 500
pounds gross weight (478.4 pounds of
~ lint and 21.6 pounds of bagging and
f ties estimated per bale).
This final estimate is smaller by
171,000 bales than any of the government's
forecasts of the season made
^ from condition reports during the
growing season.
While there was a large acreage in
cotton this year, the boll weevil got in
' its work extremely heavy damage and
' drought in many sections materially
assisted in keeping down the produc!
tion. South Carolina and Georgia

1. averaged 23.8 cents per
pound, which ranks fourth highest in
the history of the industry, being exceeded
only by the price in 1917, 1918
and 1919.
Statisticians estimate the dimensions
of this year's crop in bales, to
be equal to a cube 600 feet square
and 600 feet high.
