TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1924 THE EGYPT SEEMINGLY QUIET ONCE MORE CAIRO, Nov. 25.—The Egyptian parliament was adjourned today for a month by royal decree. CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 25.—Egypt seemed quiet today, the atmosphere clearing overnight and the situation assuming an appearance which British authorities regarded as reassuring. The student demonstrations against British retribution for the murder of Sir Lee Stack appeared to have abated. Meanwhile reinforcements were gathering for the British troops entering the Sudan to enforce England's demands of evacuation of Egyptian forces there. Great Britain's prompt indication that it meant to enforce every item of its demands in the ultimatum following the death of Sir Lee, was regarded in British circles as the severe but necessary steps to quell the rising tide of feeling in Egypt. Resignation of Zabloul Pasha as premier and his succession by Ahmed Ziwar Pasha, a moderate, also were helpful in restoring quiet. Zaghloul was held responsible for the British attitude toward Egyptian administration of the Sudan. As troops were gathered to reinforce those already assigned to the Sudan, the Iron Duke was en route to join the Bombow and Valiant at Alexandria in pursuance of the war office order sending three warships to Egypt, the Malaya was en route to Port Said and two additional destroyers speeding toward Suez. LONDON, Nov. 25.—The British press showed a more unified front today toward the situation in Egyptian, the general sentiment being that the firm action of the Baldwin government had brought good results. The press resented the semi-official French intimations that the matter should be referred to the League of Nations. Such widely contrasting newspapers as the Ex- Number of Women in British Parliament Reduced to Three The British parliament now has only three women members, all of them seasoned campaigners. A half dozen Labor and Liberal women members of the House of Commons lost out in the sweeping conservative victory. The remaining trio are: Mrs. Hilton Philipson (left, above), former actress; the Duchess of Atholl (right above) and the American-born Lady Nancy Astor, seen here with four of her six children.

O. Busick declared today that the ruling opens a loophole whereby indolent fathers can be absolved from the duty of supporting their minor children. The jurist declared that the high court's decision places the stamp of approval on pre-natal agreements between husband and wife, relieving the former of responsibility of providing necessities for their children.

California STOCK MARKET IS IRREGULAR NEW YORK, Nov. 25—Considerable irregularity moved the trading in the stock market today and more discrimination marked the selection of speculative stocks by both Wall Street traders and the outside public. Switching from railroads and high priced industrial and steel stocks which have not participated in the advance since election day occupied the attention of the speculative district and the result was to cause a slump of from two to four points in some stocks, while others were moving forward at a good rate. The October statements of a number of prominent railroads, made public today showed that both gross and net earning were up to expectations while traffic continued to move at the million car rate per week. Reason for the recent sharp advance in St. Paul stocks and bonds is seen in its October statement showing net earnings for October did not exceed $3,500,000. Early irregularities in other railroad stocks was followed by good recovery under the leadership of Unjou Pacific, New Haven Atchison and Rock Island. Dividend rails were bought in good volume today at fractional declines in prices. New forward movements in prices. New forward movements in prices were inaugurated in a number of stocks, the most prominent of which was Universal Pipe and Radiator and its parent company, Iron Products.

Buses, Go Into Bus Business PEPPER THROWN IN SHERIFF'S PACE WOODLAND, Nov. 25—William P. Richards, Klamath Falls, Ore., hotel man held here as a bank bandit, was in solitary confinement today as a result of his attempt late yesterday to "red pepper" his way to liberty. Richards walked from his cell after decoying Sheriff Jas. W. Mouroe inside and tossing cayenne pepper into the official's face and blinding him. An under-sheriff and a group of taxpayers in the outer office recognized Richards and after a hot battle returned him to his cell. It is believed Richards planned also to free his negro associate, Joe Duncan, held as Richard's alleged accomplice. The pair had entered a plea of "not guilty" to the charge of having held up the local Bank of Italy a few hours before the attempted jail break and had their trial set for Dec. 30. Two other bank robbery charges are also pending against them in other parts of northern California.
