ONE MAN IS BLAMED FOR NILEJRISIS England Must Tame Him or Get Out of Egypt—He Is Zaghloul Pasha. BRITAIN SLAPPED TWICE India, Too, Is Watching Outcome of Situation. By William P. Simms Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 4.—Egypt Is in open defiance of Great Britain, a warship is hurrying from Malta to Alexandria; the prestige of the Empire is at stake and British'officials admit “the situation is grave” and all because of one man, Zaghloul Pasha. The present crisis is only another high spot, however, in a menacing situation that has been hovering over Egypt for years punctuated unpleasantly often with assassinations, native mutinies riots and sinister goings on, possible nowhere on earth outside a Moslem country. While Egypt an independent kingdom in March, 192”, When the Sultan became King Fuad 1., Britain retained some of thjfe hold she had while the country was a protectorate. She still sends a British high commissioner for Egypt and the Soudan out there, exercises some control over the finances, maintains a garrison of 12,000 troops and so on. Irritates Them This irritates the nationalistic Egyptians terribly. They demand that Britain clear out, lock, stock and barrel. Then there is the Soudah. Egypt claims the Soudan as all hers. Bidtain claims a sort of 60-50 interest and insists on a dual administration. She has also built one of the moat wonderful irrigation systems in the world there, along the upper waters of the Nile and this, strange to say-, further angers the Egyptians. ■ Herodus once said: '‘Egypt is the Nile and the Nile Is Egypt” and the Egyptians swear by that saying. Egypt is about the size of Ohio, Alabama, Illinois and California combined, but an area no larger than Maryland is cultivable. The banks of the Nile ,are the only ground in Egypt where anything will grow. The rest is desert. Which is why she fears foreign control of the Nile headwaters. Invited Out When he was premier in 1921 and Ramsay MacDonald was premier of Britain, Zaghloul Pasha journeyed all the way to London to invite Britain to get out of the Nile. MacDonald told him bluntly Britain would neither get out nor allow any interference with her administration. Zaghloul had hardly arrived back in Egypt before Sir Lee Stack, Governor General of the Soudan, was assassinated in the streets of Cairo. That was another of the high spots in the tense situation. Zaghloul was blamed fpr that and seven natives were tried and executed for the murder of Sir Lee. King Fuad, under British pressure, then dissolved Parliament to get rid (Turn to Page 19)

STATESMAN 1 PASSED UP BY CAL President Ignores Watson in Naming Hoosier’s Successor. CUSTOM IS OVERLOOKED Coolidge Calmly Gives Job to Kentuckian. By Roscoe B. Fleming Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 4. The White House is beginning to treat Senator James E. Watson of Indiana as an avowed opponent of President Coolidge's policies. This was shown by the appointment of McKenzie Moss of Kentucky to fill the place of the late Judge George E. Downey of Aurora, Ind., on the United States Court of Claims. In such a vacancy it Is customary to consult the Senators from the State affected for recommendations as to men to’fill the place. Believing that this precedent would be carried out, it is said Watson began making inquiries immedately following Judge Downey's death. As to Indiana jurists of high ranking whom he might recommend to Collidge, but within 36 hours of Downey’s death, the Inliana Senator was surprised to hear that the president had appointed* Moss, a Kentucky Republican and former assistant secretary of the treasury. Watson jumped the administration fence by voting against the world court and by advocating the midwest plan of farm relief, and defended his course recently at the Indiana Republican convention in a speech which was taken almost as an apology for the President's course.

‘Convention Most Thrilling/ Says Wise —Father Is Proud. By Ekfora Field Who says that a house CAn’t smilo —and nod, and radiate the most pleased consciousness that it’s fairly ready to burst with happiness within? A little brown bungalow at 41 S. Johnson Ave. is doing just that today, for it is there that Albert Stump, young Indianapolis attorney, nominated long-term senatorial candidate at the Democratic convention at Tomlinson Hall Thursday, and his bright-eyed little wifo and their three babies—Margaret, 8; Robert, 4. and little tow-headed Thomas, 2, live.

He was always crazy for learning and books." Books Ilis Hobby "He still is," laughed Mrs. Stump. “Books! If he has any hobby, it’s buying books. .He’s not had much time for other hobbies—golf, sports or anything of that kind," she continued. "No, I haven’t either," she admitted, with a glance at the children. “Three little Democrats—and their father—have about filled In all my time." Here Bobby imparted an extreme longing for food and his mother excused herself to spread some sandwiches for the boys. "I raised my sons to take an interest in politics,” commented Daniel Stump. “I have three sons and I always told them that a good citizen should be interested in politics —must be. ‘Your country's welfare is your business’ I used to tell them, and many’s the hour the boys and I have debated public, questions together.”
