 OF CHICAGO FAILS;
 POLICE ARE CALLED

Chicago, June 29.-The old private bank ing firm of Graham & Sons, the deposits
 of which have been estimated from s. 100000 to s5, GOO GOO, and which held an im- portant place in the financial and indus
 trial affairs of the West Side, closed It's doors today.
 An involuntary petition in bankruptcy
 was filed an hour later, after 15 detec- tives directed by an assistant states at torney, broke down the rear doors of the

most evenly divided on the question of beer and wines Several senators who were strongest for their inclusion tonight ann orrced that they would accede to the Presidents wishes. Although others pro missed to continue the fight, the ma Jority of prohibition sentiment apparently IS In favor of trying for no more than an authorization for the President to stop brewing and wine-making
 Passage by the Senate of the food measure early next week was confidently expected through the prospective elimina- lion Of the great contention over liquor. The general legislation will be taken up Tn detail tomorrow and final action upon the liquor sections probably by Tuesday, when leaders expect final vote House leaders, active in today's conferences, predicted that body would accede to the Presidents desire as to beer and wines
 Brief references to the prohibition issue were made during Senate debate today by Senator Hardwick of Georgia and Sena- tor Reed of Missouri. The former said the "controp' legislation as well as the prohibition sections involve "a straight jacket for the nation Senator Reed criticized the press for opposing prohibit tion, but paying scant attention to the other alleged evils of the bill Senator Hardwick vigorously attacked the bill in a three-hour speech as "despotic, auto cratic, undemocratic and un-American."
 Discussion of committee amendments was begun late today and without roll call the Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Smith of Arizona to add news print paper and it's products to articles over which government control Is pro- posed. He said the publishers would by federal supervision receive print paper at reasonable rates. Senator Borah and others declared that extension of con- trol to paper products" threatened un- limited government censorship.
 The Senate added fertilizer ingredients upon motion of Senator Smith of South Carolina, to the list of products over which federal power shall extend. Sen ator King of Utah gave notice of a mo- tion to strike coppers from the list, while other senators propose amendments ex- tending control to cotton, clothing, leather and many other articles.
 In speech assailing prohibition amendments to the food control bill in the House today, Representative Meeker of Missouri submitted statistics showing that 746 patent medicines containing from eight-tenths of 1 per cent to 931a per cent of alcohol would be exempt from the reg ulation of the food control measure. Companies manufacturing them, he said, are capitalized at $71,OOO,0OO. and he pre- dicted that passage, of the food control bill in it's present form would increas se their stock value 10 times within three years.
 Whether an attempt will be made to keep the House in session continuously after next Tuesday to receive the con ference report on the food survey bill, sent to conference today is problemati- cal Agreement was reached early today to begin three-day adjournments tonight until July 9, and transact no business In the meantime, but later Representative Sims of Tennessee, who was a party to the first agreement, objected to plans for an agreement reaching beyond next Tuesday.

 Both north and southwest of Lens there was good hard fighting, and the German situation within the great French mining city was made much more precarious. Further south at Oppy the British took more than a mile of German trenches and are once more at the very edge of the Oppy remains of ghostly white chateauX. roofless and windowless but still af- fording cover for innumerable enemy machine guns. In the Oppy advance the British were opposed by soldiers of the Fifth Bavarian division and found them full of fight, although 250 of them eventually were taken prs- oner. North of Lens, however, the German morale did not seem so high, for near the famous Hill 65 the Ger mans fled as soon as the British bar rage shut down. Scores were killed in flight
 On some part of the comparatively long battle line the British troops took advantage of flanking artillery bombardment to raid enemy trenches They met with stiff opposition at some places and the fighting became des- perate. The British advanced more than half mile through Avion, which IS one of the largest suburbs in the Lens mining district Here the fight ing ragged among the debris of the col leries. Pit derricks and other para phernalia were found about the coal
