THE 3IORNTXG OKEGONIAX. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1022 m IVES IDG RULE OVER UP EGYPT Martial Law to Be Abolished in Near Future. INDEMNITY ACT AWAITED Special Relations to Be Enforced Under Clauses Announced by British Premier. IjON'DOX, Feb. 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd Oenrere announced in the house of commons this afternoon that the British protectorate over Egypt has been terminated and that Egypt was free to work out such national insti tutions as might be suited to the asnirations of her people. Martial law will be abolished in Egypt as soon as an act of indemnity has been passed, the premier an nounced. He explained that martial law had been used not to enforce the British policy upon Egypt, but as a main instrument of government in the hands of the Egyptian ministers. Mr. Lloyd George said it was for the Egyptian government to pass ine necessary legislation, in the way of which "we undertake to place no ob Rtucle. nrovided the final clause of the Kovernment's declaration is duly observed." The final clause defines the special relations between the British government and Egypt, and declares that ten matters are re eerved to the discretion of the Brit Ish government. Security Is Demanded. "First, security of the communica tions of the British empire in Egypt; Egypt: "Second, defense of Egypt against all foreign aggression or interference, direct or indirect; "Third, protection of the foreign in terests of Egypt and protection of minorities: "Fourth, we are prepared to make an agreement with the Egyptian gov ernment in a spirit of mutual accom modation whenever a favorable op portunity arises for the conclusion of such an agreement. iJut until sucn an agreement satisfactory to our selves and to the Egyptian govern ment has been concluded the status quo will remain intact. Mr. Lloyd George said .it had long been recognized that the protectorate was no longer a satisfactory form -f relationship between the British em pire and Egypt, "but owing to the prelude geography of Egypt the protectorate cannot be terminated unless the British imperial interests are fully safeguarded." Admirally Pasha, formerly Egyptian iremier, had admitted the difficulty of reconciling- these inrerosts with Fgyptian aspirations at the time of lis visit last summer, Lloyd George said. Safeguards Are Wanted. At present, continued Mr. Lloyd George, there was no Egyptian gov ernment which could go so far as to commit its country to a relationship with Great Britain of a nature to af ford Great Britain adequate safe guards in these matters, and the gov- j ernment had therefore determined to proceed by a unilateral declaration in which it enjoyed the whole-hearted support of Field Marshal Lord Al lf:nby, British high commander in Egypt, and the officials of all ranks in the service of the Egyptian gov ernment. The premier said, with reference, to the special relations between Great Britain and Egypt defined in the four clauses set forth: "Foreign powers are not concerned, and we propose to state this unmis takably when the termination of the protectorate is announced by us." The premier added that the wel fare and integrity of Egypt was nec essary to the peace and safety of the British empire and the government could not permit its special relations to be questioned by any other power. Aliens to Be Protected. It would regard as an unfriendly act any attempt at interference with the affairs in Egypt by another coun try and it would consider any ag gression against the territory of Egypt as an act to be repelled by all means at its command. Mr. Lloyd George said that of course Great Britain would accept protection for foreign interests and minorities in Egypt, "as a responsi bility inseparable from the specipl position we claim in that country." agreement, which did not obligate Germany to establish more drill places. The government's answer to the i icunesL ueciares "inis is only oi or many violations of the peace treaty," and says that in case Germanv is forced to comply with the request she will hold Franco liable for dam ages. Compliance with the request would cost Germany a sum estimated at 200,000,000 marks. DR. BOWMAN WILL SPEAK Portland Pastor to Give Address Before Student Convocation.

Alfred E Lindsay, alleged swindler of society women, issued a statement from his cell in Tombs prison today, denying that he had fleeced them out of nearly tl. 00.000 by fake stock trans actions, and painting himself - as a faithful meal ticket to those who-had lost through his speculations. This statement was in sharp con trast to one issued earlier in the day by Assistant District Attorney Mur phy, in which Mr. Murphy said Lind say had broken down and sobbingly dictated a confession that many of the charges against him were true and that he and his wife had dis cussed suicide as a possible way out of their difficulties. "Pay HolI" Supports Contention. All the women who advanced him money, did so, Lindsay's statement declared, with a full understanding that it was to be used for stock spec ulation and all knew, ho added, that their money had been "lost honestly." Notwithstanding that he felt he was under no obligation to them, he said, he has continually advanced them money until the greater part of their losses has been restored to them. Supporting his contention, he gave out a sample "monthly payroll, on which the names of eight of his ac cusers appeared as recipients of sums ranging from $100 to J500 and ag gregating S1675. Mrs. Lindsay, he said, although, she knew nothing of the merit of the women's claims, was willing to turn over to a creditors' committee the handsome Lindsay estate at South Nvack. which, with the furnishiags, should bring nearly $100,000. Each Claim Detailed. Lindsay took up each woman's claims separately, giving his version in detail of the transactions and de nying vigorously the magnitude of th sums some of the women said they had lost. Mrs. Lillian Duke, divorced wife of James B. Duke, the "tobacco king," who claims to have advanced him about $375,000, actually gave him far less than that sum, he declared, though he did not give an exact figure. "In 1913 I met Mrs. Duke, who gave me a check for $5000 with the under standing that I was to play the mar ket for her," the statement said. "During April and May of that year she gave me approximately $100,000. By that time Mrs. Duke was sued, or about to be sued, for alienation of affections. She was afraid of a judg ment against her, sold her stock and gave me the money to speculate with, which I did, making reports to her from time to time as to the stocks which I invested in, and which she knows was lost honestly. Money Declared Advanced. "I have always given Mrs. Duke money. I gave her $800 in December, 1921, and as late as January 29 or 30 I gave her $150. Mrs. Duke went to Europe in 1914 and I gave her the money to go with. Each letter asked me for more money, which I sent to her. I have been giving her money ever since July of 1913, and if she will figure up the amount I have given her, it will be almost, jf not quite, the amount she gave me. Dur. ing the lifetime of iohn B. Stanch field she consulted with him with reference to this matter, and he ad vised her that she had no action against me." Concerning Mrs. Dorothy Atwood, who claims to have given him $275, 000, Lindsay said: "It is absolutely untrue. The mat ter was taken up by her attorney. He went over her statement and al lowing for profits made on stocks, the total amount due her was not in excess of $35,000. If it was all fig ured out, now including the amounts I have given her since, I would not owe her anything. "She sees that other people are hounding me and she is taking ad vantage of the. fact." Lindsay then took up in turn the OH iHmMmiiiimuiiimiitmiiitiiiuitnituutiniiiitiHitiiiiuiiiiHiitiMHUiiHnmiL 1 Hazelwood ( I Pastry I LOAF I I CAKES I Delicious fine - grained cakes, made of the choicest 1 1 ingredients.
