Possibility of Nationalist
Revolt in Berlin Hinted

LONDON, Aug. Reuters Berlin
spondent, in dispatch dated
Thursday, hints at grave political ten
sion in Berlin and the possibility of
an attempt late in the summer by the
Nationalists to carry out military
coup.
The political atmosphere in Berlin"
says the correspondent, has become
surcharged owing to recent disclosures 3
and recriminations following them
The material thus far produced Is frag-
mentary, but the government parties
are in the advantage over their oppo-
nents in having control of official docu-
ments. NO one has come out of the
affair we'll, but the Nationalists prob
ably have been injured most.
The real import OF the campaign is
more significant than might appear at
fiis- sight. 1t is not merely q sqcabble
aoout past history. Both sides have
been sparring for an advantage be-
cause Of the expected decisive political
struggle that is approaching.
Despite the superficial tranquility
Of life here, the inner tension remains
as great IS ever, and possibly the late
simmer will see an attempt at a mill
tary coup by the Nationalists."

Daylight Repeal
Passes the Senate

WASHINGTON, Avg. 1.-The Senate
to-day decided 10 have the proposal
for repeal of the daylight saving law
again run the gantlet of Presiden.
Wilson's veto. BY vote Of Al to ~
the Senate passed and sent to the
President the separate House bill re-
pealing the daylight saving measure
During brief discussion of the Hou Sc
bill several Senator'S predicted that the
measure. like the daylight repeal rider
on the agricultural appropriation bill,
would be vetoed by the President. The
separate House bill was passed June
18, but action in the Senate was sus-
pended until to-day and in the interim,
the President vetoed the rider and the
House was unable to enact it over the
veto.
The Senate's action now places VIZ
tually similar repeal legislation again
before the President. The only differ
ence in the vetoed rider and the sep
arate bill is t,ias the latter would not
interfere with standard zones of time
Senators who voted to-day agains;
the new repeal measure were: Repub-
licans, Calder, Colt, Elkins, Lodge. Nc
Nary, Phipps and Sutherland Demo
Gratis, Gerry, Phelan, Pittman, Thomas
and Walsh (Mass)
Many Democrats joined with Repub-
licans in favor OF the repeal bill.

Dies at LenOx:
Hill Hospital
Complication of Diseases
Due to Diabetes Attack
Brings End to Career
of Theatrical Manager

Oscar Hammerstein, veteran lmpre-
sario, died at 1928 p. m. yesterday at
Lenox Hill Hospital, Seventy seventh
Street and Park Avenue. His death was
due to diabetes and a complication of
diseases and had been imminent for
several days. Mr.. Hammerstein lived
thirty-six hours longer than his physi-
clans had believed possible.
Nevertheless the end came suddenly
and comparatively unexpectedly. His
wife, son and two daughters, who had
been at his bedside for hours, were
absent from the hospital at the time.
Mr.. Hammerstein's physician also was
away. DR.. M. Schevell, resident physi-
clan at the hospital, was with him and
summoned his family with all haste.
They failed to arrive in time.
Since Saturday afternoon, when Mr..
Hammcrstein Was taken to the hos
pital from his home at 949 West End
Avenue he had been making hope
less but brave fight for his life. He
conquered a similar attack year and
half ago and had told friends he
felt as we'll as ever. It was with out
ward expression of confidence that he
entered upon his last struggle.
Before dawn Tuesday physicians in
attendance gave up hope. Mr.. Ham
merstein, they believed, could live but
a few hours at most, He had sunk
into diabetic 'ua and his right side
was paralyzed. an that time on his
family scarcely let mis- bedside. They
left the hospital yesterday afternoon
for short time in the expectation
that no change was likely for some
hours.
MIR. Hammerstein never rallied from
the coma into which ne had fallen. 1t
was only short time before his death
that Indications that the final collapse
was at hand appeared.
The body Of Mr.. Hammerstein was
removed from the hospital to the
Campbell Funeral Church, 1870 Broad
way.
Arthur Hammerstein said the body
of his father would not be taken to
the late residence and that burial
would be in Woodlawn Cemetery Mon.
day. He said the body would be the
first inferred in a new plot purchased
in Woodlawn by the Hammerstein
family.

New York, Nov. 19.-The Prince OF

today in precisely the same way as a
casual visitor from Oskaloose, or Kala-
mazoo His itinerary included the
Woolworth building, stock exchange,
sub treasury, Trinity church and other
points of interest always shown to vis-
itors by their New York relatives
The princes first glimpse of Broad

power splendor led him to remark
that he'd have to see more Of that"
And he did. He dutifully visited the
Metropolitan opera house, where he
was sung to and stared at, then quietly
demonstrated that it was easier to
disappear" in a town Of several mil :
lion population than in one of few
thousand.
Accompanied by a few personal
friends. the prince slipped away FROM
his escort when he left the opera and
was officially lost until after mid
night. While it is strictly against the
princes wishes to state where he was
during the interval, it may be said that
he saw one of Broadway's. musical
shows and literally rubbed elbows with
scores of persons along the famous
lstreet, all without being recognized.

SlsICT ENFORCEMENT
o. STATE MOTOR LAWS
SOUGHT BY GOVERNOR

A more rigid enforcement of the
Oregon motor vehicle laws is urged
upon the police officials of the state
in a statement given out by Govern
or Olcott today in which automobile
drivers are called upon to cooperate
with the officials in enforcing an OBJ
servance of these laws which are de-
signed to safeguard the travelling
public, motorist and pedestrian alike
Complaints are Many
Complaints have come into my Of
flee from many parts of the state dur
ing the past few months of reckless
violation of the Oregon motor vehicle
laws" declares Governor Olcott's
statement. These complaints indicate
wild mania for speed on the pub
lie highways. They also show viola
tions of this law in many other ways,
such as improper lights on the cars
and infractions of law in other ways
too numerous to recount.
Ignorance No Excuse
Every motor vehicle owner is pro-
vided with copy of the motor We
hicle laws when he is furnished his
blank or license tags by the office Of
secretary of state. 1t is his duty, be-
fore he drives his car on the pubic
highways, to familiarize himself with
those laws and to- abide by them. The
fact that he is ignorant of such laws
existing can be no excuse. 1t is made
the duty of the peace officers of the
state to enforce those laws. fully
realize the numerous difficulties
which must be encountered in a rigid
and exact enforcement of the motor
vehicle statutes To get a complete
enforcement would require not only
the most alert attention on the part
Of the officers, but the earnest CO.
operation on the part Of the motor
, vehicle owners.
is-e} ,a Must Enforce Law sq
THE peace Officers should assert
every effort toward that end. Lives
are constantly menaced by reckless
drivers and the death rate from such
kind of driving is appalling. In addi-
1 ton, hundreds of people are injured
and the highways are being torn up.
Violations of the law by failure to
properly handle the lights on the
cars have also been responsible for
numerous accidents. want to urge

arrests at every sign Of a violation OF
these laws. no matter what it may be
