I know that Estete "*Anna’s Hope’” is owned by the Muricipality of St. Oreix. 1 know of no trai saction Dy which the property was travsfecred by the Co.ncil. With that in view 1 still bhold that the Colinial Treasury 1s re- spongib e for the debt. A Ath appointed ‘Aember (3laciwood) remark~d: Mr. Vice-Chairmin. 1 am at sea )n the matter in connection with Anna’s Hope Station. 1 understood that the operation of the Station vas traas- ferred o the Agricultural Departmént of the JUnited States for the benefit of these isiands and I suppose there is a title deed of the transfer. 1 do nit see that the Im:aigration Fund should suffer for any deht incurred by Anna’s Hope. 1 was a litle surprisad when1 read the resolution. 1 was of the opinion it was decided inat the loaa should be refunded, Any wev, the amoint with tie “yererued interest shou 4 be refunded tc the Inmi- gration rund. 1 wish to. emp.asize that if there sa und .eeded in theisand, it is th: Im.aigraton Fund, and it is greatly ncede | for the purpose for which it was creattd. Our island is in pad shape; +2 caanot even ob'ain adequate supply oi cane plants. We would be de- priving ourselves of the me ans of bring- ing in laborers to this isiand if we let the Fuund go. : To be continued. - : LOCAL 14 lines of rain were at the Fort this morning. ' o Stk CRa 11X SRIA _ The theatre was well attended last ~ night-at the sereening of ‘‘His Highness” which was indeed a very classy film. It being -also the s:h anniversary of the . stablishment of this popular place of ~ amusement ‘we beg to congratulate the ! proprietor and Mrs. Svendsen and wish " them many years of success in their ~ efforts to- entertain the public of this - island. The worthiness of all they have - achieved: in bringing the theatre to its present state of perfecticn is enly too evident and now they have extended their activities to other parts of the is- land we are ~ure the feeling of goodwill and cooper .ion they deserve will be general. The Navy Band will aggin render some fine music in the bandstand this evening which will be the !ist concert, as the company returns to St. FThomas tomor- row. We therefore take this opportunity of thankirg Bandmaster Adams and his men for the entertainment and life they have afforded St. Croix during the past week and as usual wish to assure them that it has been a great pleasure to have them here with us. It is hoped they have passed their time agreeably and will take back pleasant memories with them. Harding Leaves Widow . . $750,000 Bulk of Estaie. Washington, D. O, Aug. 12—The will of Warren G Hardinz, which he drew shortly before starting on his illfaied Yrip to Alaska. and after bz had complat- e’({ the sale of his Marion Siar property, digposes of an estate worth about $7Hv, 000, it became+ known, tie bulk of which goes <o Mrs. Hardirg. The will-probably willbe filed in Ma- rion, 0., the cominx week anu probated in the old courthou e there. In-Order Before Trip. Before l-aving or Alaska President Harding set all his financial affairs in order, as though he feared the po-=siblli- ty of a sad ending to that trip. He had arranged to seil his newspaper property and the final negotiations were put throuch in June, by whiclr he received $123,000 for his share in the newspaper, * In 1921 he had scld the house he 10r- mearly occupied in Washingten, at 2314 Wyoming Avenue, for $50,000. That was his only real estaie in the capital Hoped for End on Farm, The late President had other proper y in Marion, including the old farm, which he had purchased as a family estate, and where ke hoped to end his days. These proverties are believed to be worth about $2.0,000. He also owned coasilerable b ink and industrial stocks, so that the estimate $750,000, of the total value of his estate is considered conservative, By his willhe ma e some minor be- quests to relatives and friends.—Daily News, Monday, August 13, 1923, Lo o PEREGRAMS: . - gt .~ ST, CROIX-STATION. .. Lendon, August 23rd.—In the seven ““tonths during which- the Ruhr-has been occupied, Great -Britain Has .sent 9,259, . 000 tons of coal to Germany, as com- pared with 3,966,000 tons in 1922 and only 159,000 tons in the corresponding period of 1921. France hastaken 11,200, 000 ton<, or 3,500,000 tons more than last vear. Belgium has taken over 2,000, 000 tons more. Although expors of British coal in seven mowths increas:d from 32,000,000 to 46,000,000 tons, tle comparison of tiade figures in generzl are misleading, becanse of the fact that the Irish Free State now figures as a foreign country, instead of part of the United Kingdom. For the quarter end- ing with June, exports lo’ Southern Iye- land were L6, 833,000, this being the fiist time these figures ‘vere issued separate- ly. With the exeepiion of India and Aas- tralia, the lrish Free State is the be ¢ customer among the Knglish colonies. Imports.from Southern ireland were £]u, 441,000 which is nearly equivalent to our imports from India. Berlin, Aug. 21th.—Dr.. Rudalf Hiifer. ding, tne first Socialist to heid the Fed. eral position of Minister of Finance, yes- terday informed the Reichstag budeet committee thzt he purpos s to inaugurate an era of ‘‘brutal avd ruthless taxation policies’”. The banks and industiiaiists, said Dr Hilferding, already had received his warning and he was particularly de- sirous to inform whe+pubic at large of kis intertion. It was his opinion that dictatorial measures within coustitutional limits would prove the only means of sav- ing the country in the present situstion, The present mimsters first ofticial urter- ance was a straight forward statement of Germauny’s internal financial chaos, which had culminated in the announce- ment of the Government’s emergercy measures tor the requisisioning of foreipgn cusrences and providing for penitenisry sentences for yersons committing pei jury in conneciicn with declarations demur d- ed by the Governnmient of hoiders of for- eign - X hange. Dr. Hilferding siarticd the Ruichstag members by an announce- ment toat the central gouvernmen: w.s now regalarly ealed upon to come to the financiai aid of the federared states, which no longzer were able 1o reach the pay roll of their own aldministrations. The Federal Government, wl o deciared Dr. Hilferding, was obliged o disburse strike subsidies to private peinting plants which were engaged 1n priating the Reiehstag curreney, - * London, Aug 25 h.—Mr. Baldwin, accompanied by Mrs. Baldwin, left 1.3 morning for Aix-Los-Bains, [‘rance, where they will spend a brief vaecation, Tie Irench Charge D’ Affaires, M.
