feK MVS WHITE DECISION MIST
BE POSITION OF THF. I .MTCI)
STATES GOVERNMENT.
(Associated Pre* Dispatch.)
%'uxhington, March 1#.— Decision
•f Chief Justice White in the Panama-
Costa Rica boundary dispute "must be
the unalterable position" of the
United States government, President
Harding declared in reply to a per-
sonal appeal from President Porras
of PanamA.
Although he expressed regret that
Panama should feel wounded by the
White decisions, described in Sen or
Porras' message ns "painful and hu-
miliating," Mr. Harding declined <o
consider any other basis of settlement
and asserted that the recent state de-
partment notes insisting on enforce-
ment of the decision had his hearty
approval.
The exchange between the two ex-
e«ulives, made public textiiall.v to-
night, was in the nature of an ad
interim discussion, while the state de-
partment awaited Panama's reply to
its note. Costa Hica already has ac-
cepted tbe Whits award, and some
definite answer from Panama now is
expected within a few days.
In making his appeal, President
Porras Tecailed the expressions of
friendship for Panama given by Mi®,
Harding during his visit there and
voiced a hope that the Panamanian
people might not be disappointed in
their faith in the new administration
at Washington. To 'this President
Harding replied, giving his avowals
of cordiality, but added that the exer-
cise of friendly relations always must
be tempered by justice.
The message from the Panamanian
president was received late yesterday
and before replying Mr. Harding held
a long conference today with Secre-
tary Hughes of the state department
It is understood that they not, only
went over in detail the latent informa-
tion regarding the situation between
the two Central American republics,
bnt also discussed the broad questions
of policy involved in a final deter-
mined insistence on the position taken
by this government.
Following is President Harding's
reuly:
' "The communication from our gov
eminent to the government of Pana-
ma and the government of Costa Kicr
have been sent with the full knowl-
edge and hearty approval of the ex-
ecutive.
"It would be exceedingly distressing
te me ts believe that the government
of Panama had cause to feel wounded
or to assume, for any reason, the govj
eminent of the United States is in any
•way unmindful of our peculiar friervl-
ly relations, with a recognised mutu-
ality of interest. The friendly expres-
sions made in your presence Inform-
ally last November are repealed now,
and there is deep concern for full Jus-
tice in the exercise of our friendly
relationship. It must be apparent,
however, that the decision of the chisf
justice of the United States In an ar-
bitration submitted to him, and
reached after exhaustive study and
rendered in fullest devotion to justice
must be the unalterable position of
this government."

Little Hock, Ark., March 19.—Gov-
ernor MeRae this afternoon refused
to send Arkansas National guardsmen
to protect property of the Missouri &
North Arkansas railway and make'
possible the operation of trains.
The governor said his refusal is
based upon the premise that the rail-
road is under the jurisdiction of the
federal court. Sheriff Johnson cf
Boone county, who had been instruct-
ed by the governor to protect tin
railroad property, wired that suffi-
cient deputies are not available and
repeated his request for troops. The
sheriff also wired (.'apt. J. C. Cone,

Bennett F. Smith, president of the

day that he will give a barrel of fine
candy which will be worth far more
than $50, the amount previously an-
nounced as the probable value of this

he would further contribute his part

Movie Company
Will Spent Eight
Days in Temple
The Elid Feature Productions com-
pany, consisting of a movie director,
three beautiful actresses and a cam-
era man was due to arrive here this
morning from Austin for an eight,
days stay. Director "Smiling Billie
Corthay" came ahead !as;t night to
herald their coming.
The company is traveling by auto-
mobile on a three years tour of the
world -catching news reels enroute
and developing them with their own
equipment. The actresses are Miss
Vera Sisson, formerly leading lady for
.1. Warren Kerrigan, Miss Charlotte
Forbes and Miss Betty l.aVey, the
latter one of the Fox Sunshine com-
edy girls.
Both director and camera man are
experienced, the former having "'been
assistant director under V \Y. Grif-
fith and the latter having shot the
scenes of "Cleopatria" in which Theda
Bara was starred.
A number of pictures will be taken
while the- company is here. They will
l»-"in the picture work Wednesday
morning and on the evening of tlw
same day will film a big ball to he
given at the Stag Party hall. Six
silver cups donated by Wallace Iteid,
llanyCarey, Gloria Swaiison, Mae
Murray, Mabel Norman and Priscilla
Dean will be given for the best dan-
cers. Pictures will te taken of the
grand march and prize dances.
The company is planning to spend
a jongi r time here than tli' ir ordin-
ary stay at a place of this size, while
waiting for advance work to be done
for their tour through north Texas.
Carter, Weatherby was knocked
the head,, and beaten to death
Hornsby, whose motive was robbery.
The lifeless body was placed in an «u-
tomojiile and carried out into the
country at which point the car broke
down and it, together with the life-
less body, was left.
Hornsby and Carter were missing ;
and circumstances pointed to their |
guilt. Carter was arrested at Bulk- j
burnett several weeks later and on the i
27th of December, 1020, Hornsby was !
arrested in Birmingham, Ala., and j
brought back to this , state for trial, j
He and Carter v'ere indicted by a
been reported uii until last night from I Brown county grand jury and Horns- >
by's case set for trial in that county. !
The district judge, however, oil his i
own motion transferred the case 10 I
all sources in th« county. Temple's
total is now d,ti82. J. O. Doshier is
still leading the ratters of the local
league.
.It. was Tearned last night why he
is fighting the rodents so persistently,
A few week's ago his seed house burn-
ed, with the season's supply of plant-
ing and feeding seed and his meat
and lard, made a loss of several hun-
dred dollars. The fire caught in a
box of clothes in the mid lie of the
house and the only way he can ac-
count for it is that there were some
matches in the clothes and the rats
ignited them and started the flames.
The members ol the local ratters
league failing tu be present probably
through a misunderstanding for the
lecture-and demonstration by Beckett
Adair at the local V. M. C A., he and
Bob MeKinlev took the Ain dales and
staged a litllei raid resulting in forty
dead rodents.
With reports received from only 23
out of the 93 rural and independent
(white) schools, their totals stood at
21,020 last night. None of these re-
ports, however, were posted later than
Thursday and some were made out
Monday, hence the figure does not
anything like represent the actual
number killed, at this time. Yester-
day was probably the biggest day
thus far in the drive, The next re-
port is to be filed tomorrow.
