HEATING BILL PASSES

Washington, February 2.-The Keat- ing bill barring from interstate com merce the products of child labor was passed by the House today, 337 to 46, and now goes to. the Senate. It inn poses heavy penalties for interstate shipment of any commodity made in whole or in part by children under 16 working in mines or quarries, or by children under IA working in mills, canneries, workshops of manufacturing establishments. Where children are em- ployed at night or more than eight hours a day in this latter class of in dustries the minimum age is 16 in stead of IA.
 The only material change made to the measure was by the adoption of an amendment to exempt the boys and girls canning clubs.
 The House spent the entire day de- batting the bill Opposition came large ly from the south. Representative Webb of North Carolina, chairman of the House judiciary committee, urged that

HUMOR RAMPANT
 AFTER THE RECENT BATTLE
Placards Bulletins Verses and Qup Show Keen dents Took In Every Step Now Famous Controversy
 In Which President Denny Was Winner

University February Especial. )-Stu- dent humor ran riot today following the action of the board of trustees yesterday in sustaining President Denny and or dering the enforced retirement of Prof. F. D. Losey from the university. In prose, rhyme and art productions the students depicted the situation in numerous pleas antries. On his first appearance on the university campus following his vindlca- tion at the hands of the trustees, Presi- dent Denny was given tremendous ap- plause. Students swarmed upon the bal ustrades of the barracks and cheered the university executive until he disappeared into his office.
 This morning Haunting placards of typ ical collegiate humor were posted at con spicuous places One bore the semblance of prehistoric man shouldering giant club and underneath it was inscribed Who is the boss of this institution ?" and was signed Mike
 Another in bulletin form described yes- terday's hearing as the latest gas at tack and added that pr. Losey had been repulsed with heavy losses. On another Dr. Losey was presented in Shakespear- ian costume, in william posture, and glar-

 Again 1t was stated that the two off cials, after exchanging diplomatic notes for sometime like true Americans had severed relations. A hurry call, accord ing to one notice, had been sent to Henry Ford, but that that noted peace advo- cate had refused to tackle so gigantic a situation. In the law library the Eng fish instructor was given the legal appel lation of a past consideration" while Rountree's report card was generally re- ferred to as the "now famous 'scrap of paper.'
 bulletin posted in front of the univer- sity supply store bore the following:- "Losey had little charge
 Its words were pure as snow: And everywhere that Losey went
 The charge was sure to go Tt followed him too far one day,
 Which was against the rule. And made the trustees laugh to see
 That little charge in school What made the charge leave Losey 50,
 The students asked, quite nettled; The trustees grinned knowing grin
 The little charges been settled"

MORGAN TO SPEND
 MONTH IN LONDON
by New York Reserve { Bank Goyernor-Visit Causes Sur
 prise in Financial Circles

New York, February 2.-J. P Morgan sailed tonight for England aboard the steamship Rotterdam. He was accom- panied by Benjamin Strong, governor of the New York Federal Reserve bank. An nouncement that the two men were to visit London caused much surprise and interest in financial circles today.
 At the Morgan banking house no details able beyond the statement that business affairs would engross his attention while abroad. It is understood Mr. Morgan will spend at least month in London and his stay may extend beyond that time.
 This will be Mir. Morgans second trip to England since the war began. The first was followed by the announcement that J. F. Morgan & Co. had been ap- pointed commercial agents of the British wards the firm was selected to act in a similar capacity for the French govern nent.
 Intination that MT. Morgans coming trip might not be unrelated to another external loan by the allies met with de- rial from one of his business associates. It is believed, nevertheless that the British and French governments are con sidering the advisability of offering an other external ican. Rumor places the amount Of the undertaking at s25o,0OO,0oo, or half that of the 5 per cent issue floated

As has been predicted it is be- leved in Washington that despite vio- lent opposition Brandeis will be con hrmed, a prediction. however. in wbiah many prophets do not join
 Walker Percy, chief counsel in Bir- mingham for the United States Steel cor poration, reached Washington today and immediately went into conference with Senators Bankhead and Underwood. While MT. Percy is en route to New York, and while his mission east is one of business it is known that he dis. cussed the Brandeis appointment and pre- scented informal arguments as to why the appointee should not be confirmed. As previously noted. the other attorneys Of the Steel corporation in Birmingham Augustus Benners and Borden Burr, have telegraphed protests, the latter having expressed the conviction that the Presi- dent fin making the appointment blun- dered
 At any rate, with Alabama capital and Alabama labor arrayed against each other, there is certainly an Alabama angle in the Brandeis muddle.

TURKISH PRINCE
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Yussiff Izzedin, Heir Apparent, Cuts His Arteries-Act Attributed
 to III Health

London, February 1.-The suicide of Yussiff Izzedin, heir apparent to the Turkish throne. is reported in dispatch received by Reuters Telegram company from Constantinople by way of Berlin. The message says the crown prince ended his life by cutting arteries while in his palace at [ o'clock yesterday morning. III health is given as the reason.
 Yussiff Izzedin had been active in Turk ish politics since the succe--' n to the throne of the present Sultan, and it has been reported that his attitude has placed him at odds with the powerful Young Turks, and also with the Germans at Con- stantinople. He is said to have been at the head of a peace party. It was re- ported last year that he had been shot by Enver Pasha, Turkish war minister on account of their difficulties in regard to the political policy of Turkey.
 The crown prince was a son of Sultan Abdul Aziz who was dethroned i'll 1876, and met a violent death soon after. He was born in 1857, and was a first cousin of the present ruler. The fact that he was next in line. to the throne is due to the religious and civil laws which have for hundreds of years determined the royal succession.
 During the reign of Abdul Hamid who was deposed In 1909, Yussff Izzed,n who was dstrusted by that ruler, was con fined in a chateau at Tchamlidja, on the Asiatic side of the straits.

TEN KILLED WHEN
 BOILERS EXPLODE Bodies and Wreckage Are Hurled From Boat to
 Both Banks of Ohio

Huntington, W. Va, February 2.-Ten persons were killed and four seriously burned by the explosion of the boilers on the tow boat Sam Brown of Pitts burg, in the Ohio river here today The explosion is believed to have been due to the admission of cold water into the boilers.
 The blast was terrific, bodies and wreckage being hurled to the shore on both sides of the river. A majority of the bodies were so badly mangled that they were unrecognizable. The work of listing the survivors was made easier by the fact that the big steel safe which held the record of the be ats crew was blown ashore. The dead included the captain of the tug The boat carried crew of 23 persons, many of whom, however, were on the tugs tow at the time of the explosion.
 The Sam Brown was owned by the Efonongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke company of Pittsburg and was valued at s25.0O0.

RADIO TORPEDO USELESS ID NAVY
Admiral Strauss Tells Sen ate Committee Hammond
 Device Is Impractical

Washington, February 2-Members of the National Guard association con tinued before the House military com mittee today their vigorous opposition to any army increase plan that would exclude the state troops as soldiers of the first line, while the naval com mittee heard expert testimony as to guns, torpedoes, mines and other ord- nance material from Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of ordnance
 Adjutant Generals Sadler of New Jer- sey and Dickson of Illinois and for mer Adjutant General Critchfield of Ohio testified that there virtually was no sentiment among the guardsmen in favor of the continental army plan. They contended that Congress had full power to so nationalize the militia and that defects of the system pointed out by regular army officers could be cured.
 Admiral Strauss told the naval com mittee that the latest 14-inch guns of the navy, having range of 24,000 yards as mounted on IA land miles. were the equal of the 15-inch weapons of foreign navies of the greater mug gle velocity. He said that at target practice last year three 12-inch shells were driven through heavy armor plat ing at 12,00O yards.
 Admirol Strauss declared the Ham, mond radio controlled torpedo was not suitable for navy use,
 Discussing the submarine mines, Ad- miral Strauss said the general board had recommended an increase of 5000 over the number heretofore believea necessary. The Norfolk navy yard is turning out those of the newest Eng fish design, he said, at a rate of 10 day, which soon will be increased to 20.
 Turning to new devices being worked out for the navy. Admiral Strauss said a system for salvo fire of tor pedoes from destroyers was to be tried which would enable a destroyer to hurl torpedo broadside at an enemy ship. The torpedo net now being manufac- tured for the Oklahoma, he said, could not be penetrated by a torpedo, even one equipped with a wire cutting de- vice. He revealed also that the depart ment had devised system of anchored entanglements for use against subma- rines.

Industry COnfiscated, According to Berlin Newspapers

London, February 2.-According to Der lin newspapers as quoted by Reuter- S Amsterdam correspondent, a new order was put in force on February l. under which the greater part of all products of the textile industry was confiscated.

Included in the list are all materials for clothing suitable for army or navy officials, all goods for undergarments, blankets, inclusive of horse cloths, colored linen goods, Things and sail cloths.
 Berlin newspapers point out that this measure discloses a scarcity of these ma terials and also indicate that Germany is preparing for a war of long dura- tion.
