TODAY SEES
BATTLE over
PROHIBITION
10 BISON Constitutional
Amendment Before
The House
LAST HOUR CLAIMS
BY TWO FACTIONS

Washington, Dec. 21.-Legislative
weapons were furnished up today for
the final struggle in the House of Rep
resentatives tomorrow over the Hob
son Constitutional amendment for ma
tional prohibition. The fight begins
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, to
last until the roll is called on the res
olution to submit the amendment to
the state Legislatures for ratification.
Opponents of prohibition were certain
tonight that it would be impossible to
muster the affirmative vote of two
thirds of the House necessary to send
the joint resolution to the Senate. The
supporters of the resolution claimed
substantial majority which at least
would assure victory in the prelimin-
airy skirmish, the vote on the special
rule presented by Chairman Henry of
the rules committee for the consider
alton of the Hobson resolution

US. AVIATOR
DIES AT SEA
AFTER A FALL
1t. F. j. Gerstner Loses
Life in Flight Off
California
STORMY WEATHER
HELD RESPONSIBLE

oceanside, Cal, Dec. 21.-Lieut. F. ].
Gerstner, observer in one Of the six Unit
ed States army scout aeroplanes that
started today on flight from San Diego
to Los Angeles, was drowned in the sea
10 miles north of here. Cept. L. r. Mil
Ter, pilot of the wrecked machine, was
rescued by Capt. L. w. Patterson, an
other army aviator. whose aeroplane had
been wrecked near where Lieut.. Gerst-
ner met his death.
Capt. Patterson saw the wreckage of
Muller's machine in the water and sum-
moned aid Muller was rescued, badly
bruised by the fall and exhausted. Gerst-
ner's body was recovered.
Four Of the six machines that entered
the flight were brought TO the earth near
here. The other machine reached Los
Angeles in safety. Stormy weather and
bad air conditions were held responsible
for the accidents. The aeroplanes were
to have made the flight back from Los
Angeles tomorrow to report the number
and disposition of troops maneuvering
in the vicinity of San Diego. The con-
test was for a trophy.

Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 21.-William j.
Troy, aged so. proprietor of several
hotels, was found stabbed to death in
a room in the Troy Hotel at St. Clair
avenue and Ontario street, early to-
day There were half dozen stab
wounds in his body. The fact that
over $500 of Troy's money and a dia-
mond ring were reported missing

DRY that robbery prompted the crime.
The suicide theory however, has not
been abandoned.

death of the hotel owner by wo-

GOVERNMENT SUIT AGAINST
LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD AND
OTHERS DISMISSED MONDAY

New York, Dec. 21.-The govern
ment's Sherman law monopoly suit
against the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Co. and a number of other defendants
engaged in the mining and transporta
ton of anthracite coal was dismiss ed
by Judge Charles NJ. Hough in the
United States district court here to-
day.
No Monopoly
Judge Hough in dismissing the suit
said:
mo monopoly of interstate COM
merce nor any attempt to monopolize
is shown. The proof of the pudding is
in the eating thereof and it is impos-
sible to find any normal results of
monopoly without also finding viola
tions of the commodities clause and
none is discovered. AS to the restraint
of interstate trade in Goals transported
over the Lehigh Road, there can be no
restraint without control and since the
railroad does not control, the coal it
carries has no means of restraint"
Beside the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Co. the governments complaint named

Valley Coal Sales Co.. Coke Bros q

officers of the defendant corporations
The suit, Judge Hough stated in his
decision, is only a chapter in a litiga-
ton against anthracite coal owners
and carriers, which has now extended
over many years and become his
torie.
Referring to the governments al
legation that commodities clause" of
the Hepburn act of 1906 has been vio-
lated, Judge Hough called attention
to the Lackawanna Coal Sales case
and continued:
is concerned, ] shall dismiss it with
the statement that there is no great
difference between what the Lack
awanna Railway did and was upheld in
doing by all the judges of the third
circuit and what the Lehigh Valley
Railroad has been doing, as shown in
this case. If there be any material
differences, they tend to strength IN
the position of the Lehigh as compared
with that of the Lackawanna, for the
not most of the coal transported over
it's own lines where as the Lehigh VAL
ley owned the stock of other corpo-
rations which, under the laws of Penn
sylvania had good right to own the
lands and mine and sell the coal, the
transportation whereof has given rise
to so much litigation"

Dispute Gains

No news of any decisive gain came
from either arena today The Russian
and German claims continue to be di-
rectly contradictory. The Germans m
Poland again are making a fierce at,
tack toward the capital and the Rus
slams are making a stand against
them on the east bank of the Bzura
river, 80 miles west of Warsaw. Grand
Duke Nicholas army here, holds nat,
ural strategic line, so miles long run
ming, roughly, north and south along
the east banks of the Bzura and Raw
ka rivers.
The Petrograd report claims that
the German force in North Poland has
retreated across the boundary into
East Prussia, in a north-westerly di-
rection. 1t asserts also that that Aus
trian advance through the Carpathian
passes to the North has been checked
and the attempts of the Przemysl gar
rison to cut through the lines were re-
pulsed. According to this report, tho
Austrians have been driven into the
Notifications with heavy slaughter
Carpathian Success
The Austrian communication, on the
other hand, claims success in the Carpa-
thians, but admits that the Russians
again occupy Galicia and south Poland
in force. Apparently, therefore, the era
COW and Przemysl investments are pro-
ceeding and have not been broken.
Serious fighting betewen the Russians
and Turks around Erzerum, Turkish Ar
menia, has been stopped by snow six
feet deep and the intense cold. from
which the Arabs are suffering bitterly.
Berlin publishes what purports TO be
an order issued by Gen. Joffre, command
er-in-ehief of the allied forces in the
west, dated Dec. IL, exorting the soldiers
and telling them the hour has come to
clear the invader from France.
A late Paris official bulletin describes
small gains all along the line, partieu-
larly in the center between the Argonne
and the Mouse. British ships have again
been bombarding Zeebrugge and Heyst,
as well as the coast beyond Ostend.
where the Germans have established
many shore batteries, hidden in the grass
and sand.
Political developments in Hungary.
whose people are reported to be deeply
disconnected because they think that
Germany and Austria are falling to give
Hungary a fair share of protection, are
the subject of much speculation and deep
interest.

PR0JECTILE OF UNLIMITED power

Gloucester, Mass Dec. 21.-A new
type of projectile which will scatter
white hot mixture of molten steel

same time permeate the atmosphere
with deadly gas which would make
it impossible for fire fighters to ap-
proach, has been invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr., according to a
statement made by the inventor to-
night. The new missile may soon APP

towns and dirigible balloons.
Mr.. Hammond explained that the
projectile carries an aluminothermic
mixture, which, five seconds after the
projectile is discharged, turns the
steel inside to white hot mixture at
REMIT.
When the projectile hits the target.
the inventor said, it explodes. its white
hot contents setting fire to whatever
infiammable material 1t strikes. To
avoid the possibility of anyone In. the
locality quenching the flames. Mr..
Hammond said he had equipped the
projectile with a chamber filled with

are deadly.

force this article by all needful legis-
lation.'
The resolution carries preamble
setting forth that science has demon
strated alcohol to be narcotic poison

olution.

Amendment FOR IMMIGRATION BILL
TO STRIKE OUT THE L|TERACY TEST

bill delayed until after the holidays. Par
liamentary tangles were encountered,
however, and on motion of Senator Smith
of South Carolina the measure was tenn
porarily laid aside to be taken up again
tomorrow.
The fate of the bill. 1t was declared by
several Democratic senators tonight, is
in doubt as a result of President Will
sons opposition to the literacy' test.
In the opinion of its sponsors. striking
out of this provision would mean defeat
of the bill, because no substitute method
of restricting has been agreed upon.
