AMERICAN BARS
BARRED IN GERMANY
DEUTcHLAND FOLLOWS LEAD OF
FRANCE AND WILL FIGHT
AGAINST MORE LICENSES.
DRINKING PLACES ARE DUBIOUS
Applicants For Licenses Must Show
They Are of Good Character And
Can be Depended Upon to Conduct
Businesses on a Respectable Basis
DRINKING PLACES ARE DUBIOUS
by Associated Press.)


Berlin, March 10.-The German
Parliament, like that of France, will
soon be called upon to consider meas
| ure of restraint upon the liquor busi-
ness of the empire.
The Federal Council has prepared
for consideration a bill which is the
result of years of agitation against
the issuing liquor license regardless
, of whether there is any real demand
/ for more drinking places. Under the
/ existing law municipalities are author
lied to refuse licenses where the
need for their issuance is not proved.
but the new measure makes such re-
fusal mandatory 1t also requires ap-
plicants for licenses to show that they
are persons of good character. and
can be depended upon to conduct
| their business properly.
The new measure is general in its
application, but is aimed primarily at
Berlin, where the development of
drinking places Of dubious sort in
the last three or four years has been
amazing. Quiet residential districts
have been invaded by gaudy restau-
! rants and cafes, and institutions
known as American bars" equipped
with barmaids and exotic fddlers, ano
serving mixed drinks termed Amer.
lean" To these places come hangers.
on OF both sexes; none Of them close
their doors before 8 or 4 o'clock in the
morning, and in most of them bust.
ness is at its height at those hours.
American Bars Worst.
Proponents of the new licensing bill
declare that not one in ten Of these
resorts exists to meet a real need,
but rather to create one, and they are
prolific breeding places of immortality
Particular objection is raised to the
so-called "Animierkneipen," or Ami
nation bars" places where the guests
are encouraged to drink as much as
possible. All these resorts have bar
maids whose greatest assets, from the
standpoint of the house, are their
good looks and ability to put away
drink for drink with their customers.
These women, work on percentage,
which naturally spurs them to sell as
many drinks as possible.
The difficulty in combating places
of this sort by a general law is found
in the fact that a great number of
highly respectable places employ wom-
en- as barmaids or walters. In South
Germany, indeed, the female waiter
is the rule. In view of this, the Fed
eral Council bill leaves it to the gov
ernments Of the individual federal
states to make regulations governing
the employment. manner of occupa-
tion and method OF paying women en-
ployees. 1t is probable that the adop-
tion of the bill will be followed by
measures on the part Of the Prussian
government to decrease greatly, IL
not wipe out entirely, the animation

A special to the News from Jackson
stated that there are rumors in the
States capital that Governor Brewer
pardoned Charlie Smith, convicted OF
grating and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary because of a
strong personal appeal from Senator
Vardaman.
To verify this report, the News wir-
ed Senator Vardaman for a statement
and today received the following re-
ply.
The Hattiesburg News,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Your telegram received. With all
the earnestness of which | am capa-
Bile | urged the Governor to pardon
Charlie Smith. prefer to think that
the Governor pardoned him because
he knew it was the right thing to do.
"(Signed) James X. Vardaman."
Senator Vardaman's appeal it is
said, was made within a few hours
after the Supreme court had affirmed
the sentence. 1t is said the telegram
was substantially as follows:
"For Gods sake don't let poor
Charlie Smith go to the peniten-
tisry."
Other messages are believed to
have been exchanged between Sen
ntor Vardaman and Governor Brewer
prior to the action OF the Governor
Thursday
Just how much influence these mes
sages had on Governor Brewer cannot,
of course, be known. Senator
Vardaman says he prefers to
think the Governor issued the
pardon because he knew it was the
right thing to do. At the same time the
Senator says he brought all the pres
sure possible on the Governor to make
him see it in this light.
Nay Leagu- Against BiIbo.
The political gossips now discuss
ing this story, after putting two and
two together are wondering whether
an alliance of some sort has not been
formed between Senator Vardaman
and Gov. Brewer against Lieut. Gov.
Theo. G. Bilbo. 1t is known to be the
chief ambition Of Gov. Brewers life
to prevent Bilbo being named as his
>uccessor, and only few days since
he declared his purpose Of going on
the stump from Yellow Rabbit to Vim
egar Bend, If necessary, ito tell the
people of Mississippi what kind Of

For several months the close person
al and political friends Of Gov. Brewer
have unhesitatingly predicted that Var
daman will not give aid OF any sort 10
Bilbo's gubernatorial ambition. They
found a significient fact to support
this belief last autumn when Senator
vardaman came to jackson to deliver
his address at the state fair. Friends
Of Bilbo wanted him chosen TO intro
duce variaman 10 the big crowd at
the fair grounds. but vardaman veto
cd the proposal. and requested that
INNER Chief Justice r. B. Mayes be

that day. when asRed direct

BALLOON BELIEVED TO
HAVE LANDED IN FOREST

Portland, Ore, June 16.-That the
Balloon Springfteld,S piloted by Roy
Donaldson, which left Portland last
Thursday in q race. under the auspices
of the Aero club Of America, has made
a sensational flight, weathering the
electrical storm that brought three
other starters to earth and crossed the
Cascade mountains, is the theory today
of those who have vainly tried to To-
cate the only one of the four gas bags
now unaccounted for.
Additional reports were received to-
day from farmers who sighted the bal
loon early Friday well under control
and at a high altitude. These reports
have been personally confirmed by the
searchers. The balloon was being
driven toward the mountains. II the
Springfield has crossed the Cascades 1t
is possible it landed in one of the Wild
est and most rugged parts of Oregon
or Idaho and If the pilot and his aide,
Wilbur Henderson, of Portland, are UNI
hurt, IL might take them several days
to reach a center of communication.

BRYAN TO TACKLE
PROTEST OF JAPS

Washington, June 16.-After a lapse
Of 10 months. the United States Is
about to reply to Japan's last note on
the California anti-alien land owner
ship law. Secretary Bryan said today:
THE note Of August 26 last will be
answered as soon as the matter can be
reached. Answer to 1t was suspended
by the discussion OF other means OF
adjusting the differences" "
1t was believed that in his state
ment Mr.. Bryan referred to an attempt
to drop the negotiations for an adjust
ment of the issue by some legislation
by congress to confirm the rights OF
Japanese now in the United States to
own and lease land and a new treaty
looking to recognition Of the rights OF
Japanese TO naturalization. ...
The Japanese ambassador here has
been actively pressing this subject on
the state department recently, in order
that when the Japanese parliament as
sembIes next month Baron Kato. the.

BIG LINERS COLLIDE;
NEITHER BADLY HURT
Steamers Pretoria and New
York Craze Each 9th
er in Fog.

On Board Steamship New York, wa
Wireless to Siasconsett, Mass. June Is.
While the American liner New York,
west bound was motionless In q heavy
log 400 miles east of Ambrose light
ship early today the Hamburg Amer
lean liner Pretoria, bound east, ran
into her and ripped a hole IL feet high
and 90 feet long in her port side. The
hole Is flush with the main deck and Is
Is feet above the water line. So great
was the force OF the collision that the
Pretoria's anchor was torn from her
bow and left hanging inside the gap
that had been torn in the New York.
Practically all OF the passengers on
board both ships were asleep.
Immediately after the collision. the
engines Of both ships were ordered full
speed astern and passengers came hur-
rying TO the decks. The passengers of
the New York were able to reach over
and touch the bow of the Pretoria az
she pulled away from her dangerous
position. There was no panic. Captain
ROBERTS and Chief Officer Turner were
both on the bridge at the time OF the
collision. They treasured the fright
ened passengers, many of whom hur-
ried TO the starboard side of the shin
anticipating list to port. that there
was no danger. Members of the crew
also went among the passengers ana
urged them to be calm
Fortunately the watch. which oc-
cupied the quarters behind that part
of the ship which was crushed in was
on duty in the stoke hole. Had the
collision occurred while this watch was
off duty, number of lives would prob
ably have been lost. The Pretoria was
less damaged by the collision than the
New York. Several Of the plates at
her bow were sprung and twisted.
After the passengers had been as
sured they were in no danger they be-
gun to laugh and joke over the queer
costumes In which some Of the travel
ers appeared on deck. The passengers
refused to return to their cabins until
daylight. #
After 1t was determined that no seri-
Gus damage had been done to either OF
the ships they proceeded on their way.
