Henrietta, Texas, April25th.—Virtual-
ly every building in this town
was
dam-
aged
and five residences
and six
oil

Lausanne,
April 25th.—The
question
of
privileges
for
foreigners
in
Tur-
key,
which
the Turks
assert
were
abol-
ished in 1914,
was
raised
in the
political
committee
conference
today
when
the
Allies demanded
restitution
of the income
taxes
collected
from
foreigners
during
the
war.
The
Allies
insisted
that
tne
levy
was
illegal, being
in
violation of
the
capitulation
rights
of
foreigners.
The onesided
declaration
of the Turks
in
1914,
the Allies held
did
not modify
the
situation.
It was
decided
to reserve
the
income
tax question
until the
problem of
capitulation
comes
in
for
settlement.
Ismet
Pasha
brought
the Russians
back
into the discu
sion by announcing
that if
any question
arises modifying the Straits
question,
the delegates
should
be invited
back
to Lausanne’
Ismet
said the Turks
were
satisfied,
however,
with the
pro-
visions relating to the Straits
arranged
at
the
previous
conference
and
had
no
in-
tention of bringing the
subject
up again,
but
the Angora Govt.
felt that the
Rus-
s.ans should
be afforded
a chance
to sign
the
document
if they
wished
fto.
Sir
Horace Rumbold informed Ismet
that the
Russians
had
been
notified
they
would
be
welcomed if they
desired
to
change
their attitude.of opposition
provisions
shown
at
the
last
conference.
Ismet
Pasha
unsuccessfully
put
in
a
clain
for
the
island
of
Castelorzo
on
the
ground
that
it
formed
an dntegral
part
of Anatolia.
The
2Allies
replied
that the Turks had accepted
the territori-
al provisions of the treaty already agreed
upon and
had been informed
by the
Al-
lies
that the discussion
would
not be
re-
opened.
The
Allies declared
that
they
would
not
ask
Italy
to
surrender
the
island.
Ismet
then
demanded
arbitra-
tion on the question,
but again
the Allies
refused.
Ismet also failed in his demand
for
the return
to Turkey
of the
small
island of Adakales,
near the
Roumanian
shore
of
the
Danube,
He
requested
Roumania
to give back the
island, which
®jurkey
wanted for sentimental
reasons.
The
Roumanian
delegate,
M. Diamente.
®eclared
that his
country
had
no inten-
tion of abandoning
the island,
The Turk-
=S FROlX VIS
ish
representatives
protested
before the
economic
committee
against
the
use
of
the word ‘‘proteges’’ in the
clause
of the
Allied draft concerning
the
property
and
interests
of foreigners
in T rkev.
They
declared
they
had
never
been
such
a
thing
as ‘‘proteges’’
1.-
‘rkey
and
in-
timited there
never would
ve if they had
their
way.
The
committee
decided
it
would
be necessary
for jurists
to
de’ne
the word
as used
in the
draft treaty,
be-
fore there could be further
discussion.

There

House
o.
Commons
yesterday,
after
two
days
of
debate,

tion of the labour party,
who
came
into
frequent
conflict with the speakers

passed
the
secornd

London, April 26th.
Those
who
have
been
happy in the belief that
the Duke of
York was marrying
"a
Scottish
girl,
re-
ceived something
of a
shock
this
morn-
ing when they read
in the
Daily Express
a statement
by Mr.
Arthur C.
Fox-Dav-
ies,
the
distinguished
geneologist,
that
Lady Elizabeth
is not Scottish,
but Eng-
lish.
Mr.
Fox-Davies
traces
the
new
Duchess
ancestry
back
to
the
first Duke
of York, who
was born in 1341, and from
whom the present
Duke of
York
is
also
descended.

Waskington,
April 26th.—The
appro-
priation
made by
Congress
at
the
last
session
for elevating
the
guns
of
the
United
States fleet will pot
be used
for
that purpose,
the Secretary
of the
navy,
Mr.
Denby,
anncunced
today,
because
of the
pnintended
erroneous
statements
made
by Unpited States
navy
represent-
atives
in
recominending
the
appropri-
atron.
Mr.
Denby
intimated
that
the
department
wouid
go
before
the
next
Congress
with a
new
programme
in
or-
der
that
the
record
might
be
kept
straight.
He
said
this
course
had
the
approval of President
Harding.
L.ondon,
April 26th.—Mr.
J.
Ramsay
Mac Donald,
leader of the labour opposi-
tion in the House
of Commons,
is rapidly
acquiring
fame
as
a mediator
in industri-
al
disputes.
His
recent
achievements
have
been
his intervention
in preventing
a
strike
in the building trades
and
the
settlement
of the
farm
labourers
strike
in Norfolk county, through
his mediation
at
a
midnight
conference
a
week
ago.
The
quarre.
in
the
ship-building
trades
has
now
entered
a
eritical
phase
and
there
appears
to be
little hope
that
a
complete
cessation
of work may
be avoid-
ed.
The
boiler
makers
called
on
Sir
David Shackleton,
Chief
Labour
Adviser
at the
Ministry of Labour
today and
of-
fered
to let the
men remain
at work until
a
ballot could
be taken,
but the
federa-
tion
rejected
the offer,
on
the
ground
that
there
was
no
guarantee
that
the
promises
would
ba
ecarried
out generally
by
the
men.
The
de.ega'ion
then
went
to the House
«f Commons
and placed
the
whole
facts
of
the
case
in
the
hands
of
the
leader
of the
lab-ur
opposition,
Mr. Mac Donaid.,
who
1s
now
using
his
good offices
in trying
to
prevent
the
re-
cent
lock-out
notices
taking effect, pend-
ing a possible
settieme

the dispute.
