SERIOUS BALLOON ACCIDENT.
Frenchman, Thrice Winner Of Grand
Prix, Injured.

Paris.-The balloon Toto, con-
testant in the Grand Prix race, crash
ed into the trees Of the Tuileries Gar
den injuring the pilot, Georges Blan-
Chef, and his aide, Duval, and caus
ing a panic among thousands of spec
tators. Several were slightly injured
in the rush many women tainted and
others were overcome by escaping
gas
The cordage surrounding the en-
velop began to give way when the
Toto had ascended $50 feet. Blan-
Chef and his aide were bowling their
adieus and paid no attention to warn
ing shouts by spectators.

CONGRESS RESIGNS
HOPE OF VACATION
ADMITTED NOW THAT ADMINS
TRATlON WORK WILL STOP
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL FALL.
BUGABOO OF THE SENATE
The Antitrust Program is First on
Docket and Then Comes the Bank
ers' Confirmation.

Washing OF Congress
who are standing valiantly by the Ad-
ministration in the effort to complete
it's legislative program despite the
approaching campaign, while admit
ting they are weary of legislative du-
ties and anxious to get home to their
districts. have resigned themselves to
the conclusion that there is little hope
TO adjournment before fall.
Both houses of congress already are
having trouble in rallying quorum
for the transaction of business, but
the party whips are keeping constant
ly at work bringing members who
have left town back to Washington
and they hope to expedite what busl-
ness remains as rapidly as possible.
Some Senators and Representatives
are permitted to go home from time
to time to look after their political
fences, but it is the aim of the Dem
ocratic leaders to keep quorum pres
ent at all times from now on.
Again the chief business of the
senate will be to press the antitrust
bills, with a hope of getting a real
start in the general debate on the In
terstate Trade Commission bill and to
complete the revision of the Clayton
bill and the Rayburn Securities meas
ure in committee so that they may be
submitted to the senate. The Clayton
bill ready and Senator New1ands,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee, hopes to have the securi-
! ties bill perfected soon.
At least six weeks of discussion on
these trust measures is contemplated
in the Senate.
There still remains the probability
that the three bills will be consolida-
/ ted into one If that is done the leg
islative task may not be prolonged.
One thing that promises to delay
the trust program is the difficulties
which have arisen over the nomina
lions of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago
and Paul NJ Warburg of New York
as members of the Federal Reserve
Board. The senate seems still to be
deadlocked over the confirmation OF
Mr. Jones, administration champions
of the Chicago man are still holding
back vote in an effort to win ove1
some of their colleagues who oppose
his confirmation. The report of the
minority of the Banking and Currenc,
Committee who favor his confirma
ton, has not yet been submitted and i
may be several days before it il
ready.

SEABOARD WINS IN
INSPECTION CASE
JUDGE BOND DECIDES THAT
BOOKS OF RAILROAD ARE
NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo-
pie Gathered Around the State
CAPITOL.
Raleigh.

Judge w. M. Bond, in the superior
court ruled in favor Of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company and
against the state and the North Car
Dina Anti-Salon League in the noted
case of State vs. Seaboard Air Line,
involving the right of railroad COM
panies to refuse to submit their books
on deliveries of intoxicating liquors
to inspection of citizens generally on
demand as provided for in the state
statute providing machinery for the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
The seaboard has been indicted for
refusal to allow Superintendent R. l..
Davis of the State Anti-Saloon League
to inspect the records of deliveries
at the freight depot of the Seaboard
at Raleigh, counsel for the Seaboard
contending that to do SO would violate
regulations for interstate commerce
and that these had precedence over
any state statute.
Judge Bond examined only one wit
ness, Superintendent Davis of the
Anti-Saloon League and heard the
contention of the Seaboard counsel
that the company was ready at all
times to submit to any examination
by duly accredited officer of the
law as to any specific deliveries, but
that under the interstate statutes, it's
book could not be opened to citizens
generally for any and all sorts of ex
aminations. There was argument toe
by former Governor Kitchin as coun
seld for the Anti-Saloon League IL
which it was insisted that deliveries
of WHISTLES in the state are subject tc
police regulation and that the Webb
Kenyon act specifically puts these
matters under the state regulation
and that, therefore, the state statute
authorizing such examination as was
demanded by Superintendent Davis
of the Anti-Saloon League was vel
within the rights of the state and no
in conflict with the proper construc
ton of the interstate commerce act
However, Judge Bond ruled with tn,
railroad company.
The state and the Anti-Salool
League gave notice Of appeal and tn,
case now goes to the supreme cour
OF the state and will most probabl,
go on up to the United States su
preme court before the matter is fir
ally settled.
