300 GIVE UP LICENSES IN
 BALTIMORE

Baltimore, July 21.-About one half of tho 1,o1O places licensed in this city to sell liquor have surren- dercd their licenses. These include clubs, Erocers, wholesalers and retail liquor dealers. Of the $50 saloons more than $50 have gone out of bus mess. The others arc hanging on in hope that the ban will be lifted.
 A number of those who have giv- en up their licenses intend to con- tinuO the sale of beer now on the market, which they say. contains less than 2 per cent. of alcohol. They have paid the government license which fixes the maximum of alco- hol at half of one per cent. but as the State permits up to per cent they will take a chance. It will he for the court to decide whether the li- cense law has been violated.
 Since July 1 nearly all of the cab arets have shut down. The restaurants that sold liquor with meals are dis pensing beer as usual. but their bus mess has decreased. All the hotels have closed their bars. Several are installing soda fountains.
 Drunkenness has decreased 75 per cent. in the city and only two arrests were reported by the Automobile Commissioner last week for driving cars while under the influence of li- quor.

Grew Of Ruined
 Dirigible
Total Number of Dead From Disaster to Giant Blimp
 Reaches Eleven. NINE OF DEAD WERE EMPLOYED IN BANK Mechanics Parachute Held By Blazing Ship-He
 Burns to Death.

Chicago, July 22.---Ofticia1 inquiry was started today by States Attorney MacLay Hoyne to fix responsibility for the explosion and collapse of the dirfgible which crashed through the roof of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank yesterday afternoon, killing Il persons and injuring 26 others. United States District Attorney Charles F. Clyne also assigned an assistant to attend the coroner's inquest set for today.
 Seventeen employees of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of Akron. Ohio. owners of the airshtp, have been detained pending a decision as to whether charges of criminal careless ness should be filed against them.
 Among those detained are Jack Boettner pilot of the dirigtble, who escaped by jumping with a parachute, and w. c. Young, in charge of the aeranaut department of the Goodyear Company.
 Of the Il dead. nine were employees of the bank and two were passen- gers in the airship. Five persons were in the airship at the time of the accident and three escaped. When the balloon crashed through the sky light of the bank at o'clock more than 200 employees, mostly girls, were at work.
 The balloon with it's five passengers was making its maiden trip above the city in the interest of amusement park According to witnesses, a spurt of flame appeared at the stern, above the engine. In moment there was d puff of smoke and the flames at tackled the big egg-shaped gas bag. Almost instantly four parachutes leaped from the airship. Three got clear of the burning croft, but the fourth was caught in the falling bal 1ocu and burned, it's passenger, Carl Weaver, mechanic, of Akron, Ohio, plunging to death. Earl Davenport. publicity man for the amusement park and one time a sporting writer, did not jump from the machine. His body was hurled through the bank roof and burned.

 J. A Boettner, civilian pilot, was the only member of the i'll fated air ship to land without injury
 Five of the nine killed in the bank were women employees, three were men and one boy.
 John J. Mitchell, president of the bank, said he would have legal rep resentatives at the investigation to- day to take steps to prevent any ac- cident of the kind in the future.

5 Die, zOFdtally Hurt; Hospitals Filled With
 Victims NRUce Riot
Seventh White Woman Assaulted Police
 Force Helpless.
WILL CALL TROOPS
 TOPATROL CITY

Washington, July 22-Con- gress was asked to take notice of the race riots and crime wave in the national capitol today and President Wilson was asked to declare martial law and police the city with troops, in resolution introduce ed in the House of Representa- lives by Representatives Clark Democrat, Florida, and Narl, Republican, Colorado, respec- lively.
 Soon after noon the nearest official estimate of last nights rioting stood at five dead, ten expected to die, scores of les ser wounded or injured and the cases of 175 rioters docketed in the police court.
 Hospitals are packed with wound ed as the result of the most disorderly times the national capitol has experi- enced probably since the Civil War.
 Although reinforced with provost guards of troops and squadrons of cavalry patrolling Pennsylvania Ave nue, the police apparently were as un- able to cope with the situation as they were when during the celebra ted dem onstration of March 3, 1913, when the crowd completely overran them and all but mobbed the suffra gists parading on Pennsylvania Avenue. The score of casualties in last nights fighting was largely in favor of the negroes, who, when the extra strong cordon of police and troops quieted Pennsylvania Avenue and the downtown section, transferred their activities to the lesser guarded dis tricts.
 From trolley cars and swiftly nov ing automobi negro desperadoes in parties singly and in pairs rained, re- volver shots into groups of whites whenever they found them, and all night there was scattered firing from houses in which negroes, terror stricken, but not quelled, had barri- caded themselves.
 Today the local authorities are con ferring with War Department officials on measures to stop the rioting. Sug- gestions are being made that troops be brought in to thoroughly guard the city, which the police maintain they are unable to do because of i'm sufficient numbers
 The first police report of the day told of another white woman assault ed and injured by a negro at Capitol Heights, a suburb to the northeastern city. The negro who had loitered about the woman's house all yester- day, was first scared away, and then hiding behind a hedge, seized her she passed by late last night The woman was practically disrobed in her struggle with her assailant, who es- capped after she had scratched and bitten him badly.
 This was the seventh attack on white women by negro men in and near the District of Columbia within two weeks.

Bridgeports wealthy citizens
 headed by Walter B. Lashar, the voll known philanthropist, are out. to deliver a blow to the high cost of living in this city and will, at the request of May or Clifford B. Wilson, and through the Chamber of Com merce, finance the purchase and distribution of foodstuffs offered to municipalities by the government ut 80 per cent. of the original purchase price.
 The Smfth-Murray Co. has offered tho. basensent of the Main street store ns a ssleToorn for the goods and eff forts are being made to secure the CO., operation of the Minute Women of Bridgeport to the end that the food stuffs may be disposed of practically at cost- Indications are that the prices of the staple meat products, bacon, canned roast beef. and canned corued beef, corned beof hash and other food btuffs, including canned tonatoes.pork and beans, poultry. frozen beef and many other articles of the army ra- ton down to candy will take a drop when the goods purchased by the gov- crnment are released.
 Letters received today by Mayor Wilson from the Zone Supply Officers Ut New York and Boston, included a long list of foodstuffs on which bids have been requested. The offer is made especially to cities which will get the preferpnce in the awards and the conditions arc thsst the sales will be made to municipalities at so per Cent. of tho cost to the government. Goods win 'be sold only in carload lots but mixed carloads may be Lurchased.
 The government canned goods, well known as solid pack, vary from 10 to 25 per cent better in quality and substance than the regular line of goods offered in grocery stores be- cause of the specifications under which they arc put up.
 With these things in mind and tho present high cost of all of the arr ticles. Bridgeport people will vel come the opportunity to get chance to purchase at reduced prices. The items of canned meats. canned vege- tables and bacon are especially at tractive, for they are not immedi- ately perishable and do not require the refrigeration that other supplies need.

Washington, July 22-Presi dent Wilson was sufficiently recovered today from his indis- position to resume conferences with Republican Senators at the White House without Ob- jection from Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his personal physician. Admiral GraysOn said the President was in no pain, but that he still was ex- tremely weak. The President went into conference at 10 0 clock with Senator Edge, of New Jersey.
 In response to President Wilson's request that 1t approve provisional appointment of an American repre- sentative on the separations commits sion to be created under the peace treaty, the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee today adopted a declara- 1on that until the treaty is ratified, no power exists to carry out it's pro- visions"
 The declaration, in the form of a resolution by Senator Knox, Repub- 1ican, Pennsylvania, was adopted without a record vote. though the committee previously had divided eight to seven in favor of substitut- ing the Knox proposal for one which would have left open the question of the Presidents authority.

 Senator Harrison quoted Republi- can leader Lodge supporting Italy's claim to Plume, and continued:
 When China, stirred by express sions from your leaders, refused to sign the treaty, she received the most sincere cooperation and sympathy from you When the representatives of America were doing everything commensurate with right and justice to compromise our differences with Japan, your leaders did everything to widen the breach. You are still do- ing it.
 Nothing has been left undone by you to have failure written over the conference door at Versailles Your action is only comparable to the con- duct of the never ceasing hell hounds, Milton stationed at the internal gates"
 The objections raised over the Mon- roe Doctrine, withdrawal from the League, and -Sacial and religious oues- uons, Senator Harrison said, had been made "too allure and to deceive the unsuspecting pub1ic.'' He denied Great Britain could dominate the League, or that the Monroe Doctrine was not safeguarded. He con tinued: -rA

Washington, July 22. Partisan ship in their opposition to the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty was imputed to Republican leaders in an arraignment in the Senate today by Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, speaking in support of the League.
 Never before in the discussion of a great national question, said Sen ator Harrison, has deception been so lavishly practised and misrepresenta- tions so generously employed.
 Just criticism is always accept able. But when opposition to inter- national policies, such as are con- tained in this treaty, is founded on rank partisanship and personal dis like of the particular individual, it is worse than Bolshevism gone wild"
 Naming Republican Leader Lodge, Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee, Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator Knox of Pennsyl- vania and others. Senator Harrison asserted that the Republican leaders had sought to embarrass President Wilson at Versailles and now were seeking to ''strangle' the treaty for partisan purposes.
 ..I appeal to you" said the Mis- sissippi senator, ito come out from that spell of partisanship. Help us ratify this treaty, give to the people the peace they desire.
 Do not think yourselves wiser than your masters; do not think that the wisdom of the Republican party is lodged in your membership. The thousands of men and women throughout the country who have

 '.Sirs if you to defe-t 1t, let me ap- peal to you to meet the issue in the open. Do not put yourselves in the attitude of voting reservations that are meaningless or ratify 1t with a string tied to 1t, such string that will strangle it.
