SUNG BY HOUSE
Enforcement Provisions and
Penalties of Prohibition
Measure Most Drastic
Ever Drawn.

Washington, July 22.-By a vote
of nearly three to one, the house,
weary of talk on prohibition, Tues
day passed a bill for its enforcement
with provisions. and penalties so
drastic as to bring from the men
who framed it the prediction that it
would forever suppress the liquor
traffic on American soil.
Exactly 100 members-52 demo-
Gratis and 48 republicans-refused to
support it. Against the even 100,
the prohibitionists. putting up a
solid front to the very last, polled
287 votes, and just as the result was
announced little girl in the gal
lery, too young to know what it all
was about, leaned over the railing
and waved a-tiny American flag. 1t
was not a signal, but the house
broke into applause, the galleries,
only half filled, meanwhile looking
on in silence.
A broad smile spread over the
faces of the prohibition leaders, for
their work in the house was ended
and the measure was ready for the
senate where many of its restrictions
may be modified or stricken cut.
The cloak room rumor persisted
that all of this legislative effort
might end on the shoal of a ptcs;-
dental veto, although the general
view was that it would be signcc as
passed.
Before the house put the bill on
its passage one final but feeble hand
was reached forth to strike it down
and put in its place briefer and
more liberal measure. This took the
form of a three-paragraph bill by
Representative Igoe, democrat, Mis-
sourt, introduced some days ago,
and offered Tuesday in the foim OF
motion to recommit, which meant
its substitution for the general en-
forcement measure, if the house saw
fit. But the house did not and Mr..
Igoes motion was defeated 255 to
1856 and this vote analysed rieant
that at least 36 members who ia
vored a more liberal bill took tic
more drastic later when there was
no other choice.

NEGATIVE VOTEON
WILSON'S REQUEST
Won't Approve u. S. Repre-
sentative on International Rep
arations Commission.

Washington, July 22.-An en-
phatic negative was returned by the
senate foreign relations committee
Tuesday to President Wilson's re-
quest that it approve provisional ap-
pointment of an American repre-
sentative on the international repa-
rations commission without await
ing ratification of the peace treaty.
While the president was renewing
his talks with republican senator's at
the White House and the senate was
beginning another day of speech
making on the treaty, the committee
adopted a resolution declaring mo
power exists" to execute provisions
of the treaty in advance of its rati-
fication. This was interpreted not
onlyas refusing assent to the proc
lamation, but as declaring the presi-
dent would exceed his authority
should he act Independently.
No Appointment Now.
What the president might do in
view of the committee action had
not been revealed, but most of his
advisers predicted there would be
no appointment for the present. In
making his request the president had
declared it essential to. American
business interests that the nation be
represented on the committee which
will have charge of the entire repa-
ration program to be demanded Of
Germany.
The resolution was presented by
Senator Knox, republican, Pennsyl-
vania, and was substituted by an
8 to J vote for another expressing
no opinion as to the presidents
power to act. In making the substi-
tuition the committee divided along
party lines except Senator McCum-
Der, republican, North Dakota, voted
with the democrats in the negative.
Continue Till 1857.
Later in the senate, Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, republican
member of the committee, pointed
out the reparation commission
would continue until 1851 and would
exercise drastic powers. In that
connection Chairman Lodge suggest
ed that its powers even might ex-
tend to effecting acts of war against
Germany, but which Germany
agreed beforehand should not be so
considered.
The republicans who saw Presi-
dent Wilson during the day were
Senators Edge, New Jersey; Caf
der, New York, and Cummins. Iowa.
The conferences are understood to
have followed the general lines of
those of last week, the president an
swering many questions about the
Versailles negotiations, especially
with regard to article 10 and Sham
tung.
Senator Calder asked he president
what would be his attitude toward
the suggestion that the United
Safes limit is obligations under ar
ticle 10, to 1921, and the president
is understood to have replied that
such a course would not be in keep
ing with the nations duty in the re-
establishment of peace.

% Other Persons Injured
When DirigibIe CoI|apses and
Falls Above Chicago Loop
District, Crashing Into Bank.
AUTHORITIES SUSPECT
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
Prosecution Certain to Follow
Inquiry Instituted, According
to Officials Who Will Try
to Fix Blame for Disaster.

Chicago. July 22.-Only theories
as TO the cause of the explosion and
destruction by fire of the dlrlglble
machine, resulting in twelve deaths
and injury to % other persons Mon
dav were elected at the first ses-
sion of the coroner's inquiry. The
cause of the disaster seemed as tar
from disclosure as at the moment
when flame spurted along the gas
bag as it scared above Chicago S
sky scrapers before plunging down
through the roof of a great bank
spreading fatal flames among en-
ployes.
Authorities, however, were apparr-
emily determined to place responsi-
bility on some one. Assistant States
Attorney James Lowry declared
prosecution was certain to follow
the inquiry, probably on grounds OF
criminal negligence and careless
ness.
At least four theories for the start
Of the fire were heard.
Pilot John Boettner, who has been
held in custody, told the states at
torney that spontaneous combustion
probably was the cause.
w. c. Young, chief of the aero
nautical forces of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber company, owner Of the
dirigible, suggested burning oil from
the motor cylinders.
Thinks Leaky Valve Cause.
Lieut.. Thomas Atkinson, purchas-
ing agent for the motor transport
corps, u. S. A., was inclined to be-
lieve leaky valve was responsible
and that static electricity caused
combustion.
Montford Morrison, a member OF
the coroner's jury and technical
expert who examined the broken
motors suggested he found all ex-
hausts open and that sparks there
from may have ignited the gas bag
Assistant States Attorney Lowry
asked the chief of police to take
into custody two officials of the To-
cal office of the Goodyear company
for questioning. Seventeen persons
| most of them mechanics of the com
pany's forces, were questioned and
summoned for the inquest.
The first session of the coroner's
inquest was marked by the refusa
of Pilot Boettner, and his chief, Mr.
Young, to testify. Their refusal was
on the advice of counsel represent
ing the company.
While local officials asserted the
accident was to be fixed on some
one no evidence developed to show
the company had been negligent.
| Lieut.. Atkinson testified the Good
year company's balloons bore ar
excellent reputation in the army
The lieutenant testified he neve,
had heard of rotary engines being
used in dirigibles.

ture of an experiment." he added.

METAL MINING SITUA-
TON

The U. s. Bureau Of Mines haa,
Just issued general statement as to
present status of variou mineral In
,dustrles.
The concluions to be drawn from
the report afe that the mining indus
try as a whole has passed its dark
est hours In that prices have UNI
doubedly touched bed rock and
world conditions are fairly well de-
termined so that the mine operators
know pretty definitely what they
must contend with.
Little hope is held out for any I'M
mediate business from Europe al
though metal stocks in Germany are
exhausted. It is felt that some time
will elapse. however, before Ameri-
can mines will be able to count on
any regular foreign demand.
In the meantime as building actiy-
ity resumes in this country with the
coming of spring II will help relieve
he stagnation of the metal market.
Increased labor efficiency is neces-
sary to help offset present cost OF
operation which in most cases IL
above the selling price OF metals and
the larger mines are operating Simply
to maintain their organizations and
be ready for the wave OF business
which must surely come.
