MISFORTUNE AGAIN
 |S WITH RAYVHAM
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 17.-In to- days disastrous attempt to ~hop" off, Frederick P. Raynham's rebuilt ma chine made a good run of 300 yards along the ground and then flew about 50 yards at height of about 30 feet. It then plunged to the earth and it's nose was buried deep in the turf The wreck was aseribed by airmen to the inability of the machine to lift the weight of 375 gallons of gasoline which she carried for the ocean trip. One axle of the under carriage was broken, both wheels torn off, the pro- peller splintered, the radiator ripped out, the aluminium tanks split, the lower planes where they joined the fuselage and the fuselage shattered.
 Both Raynham and his navigator leaped from the plane just as it struck the ground. They felt it sag from the heavy weight before it began to fall and realized it cound not ascend.
 Doubt was expressed as to whether Raynham would make a third attempt to get away because of the heavy cost of the enterprise to the owners of the plane.

When he came upon them they were driving off four head of cat tie. They fired on him and he returned the fire. So far as known no one was injured.

rRepublIoan A. p. Leased WireJ


 WASHINGTON July 17-Prohibitlon forces voted down in the house today every attempt to eliminate drastic pro- visions of the general enforcement bill and while in full and absolute control, shut off debate at the word of ther leader despite the violent protest of the minority.
 When they had raced through the war time enforcement portion of the three-part bill and got into the con- stitutional prohibition measure proper, there were only 68 members on the floor and so much confusion that a speaker could not make himself heard. It was 2 o'clock tonight when the long roll call to obtain a quorum was start ed. and members then had gone home, after declaring there was no good req son for trying to force through bill to taks care of a situation that would not arise until January.
 Before the house got into snarl, however. the prohibition faction had fought off every attack on their bill. An amendment to strike out the mini mum fine for those convicted of Yio- lating the war time act, was fought over and defeated, 6S to 57. This was offered by Representative Reavis re- publican, Nebraska a prohibition member of the judiciary committee.
 Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee and patron of the bill pre- sented an amendment which was adopted without debate and which made the measure a bit more drastic in that it added the word "manufac- ture' to the many things a man may not do with liquor in his office or home.
 For a brief moment late in the day the minority-described by the pro- hibitonists as the 'wets"-swung into power, only to be thrown out by de- mand for tellers, which meant an &C., curate count on a vote to amend the bill so that a person charged with vio- lating liquor selling injunction might demand and obtain a trial by jury.
 This motion, offered by Representa- tive Gard. democrat, of Ohio, aAd warmly supported by former Speaker Clark, had proved an hours debate which was bitter at times, when the house put on the lid and started to vote There was a noisy shout from the ayes who appeared to have won. Instantly there was a demand for a division and after members had been counted, the result was announced ayes, 70; nays, 66.
 The victory was not expected, even by the vets, and they realized they could not have won except for the large number of absentees on the other side While the house was marching through the center aisle to be counted after demand for tellers had beer made, distress calls were sent out fol prohibition members who came piline in in sufficient numbers to beat the jury trial amendment by two votes 7S to 76.
 After rounding up a quorum the house took up the constitutional pro. Intuition enforcement bill set down a. part two of the measure, and defeated n to 35, an amendment by Represen. tative lgoe, democrat Missouri, elim. mating the definition of intoxicants This was precisely what was done tn, other day to the war time act, anC was in accord with expectations.

SAYS DE VALERA |S
 ENEMY IF IRELAND
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre]

LONDON, July 17.-Sir Edward Car son, the Ulster leader, in an interview today gave his reasons for his recent speech at Belfast which was the cause of a lively debate in the house of commons Wednesday. Sir Edward did not take part in the debate.
 Consider this de Valera campaign in America which is being conducted against the integrity of the British empire by people who were our en- emies all through the war" the Ulster leader said. Tt is being utilized, both on the other side of the Atlantic and on this, with the obvious end of brow beating Ulster and forcing her under some sort of Dublin parliament. Now, remember that throughout the war Ul- ster men and women were the fore most of the kings subjects in devoting themselves and their substance to the support of the empire and to fighting the battle for liberty and justice.
 T well know how bitter they feel at the suggestion that they should be | handed over to their enemies, and I spoke as I did in order to let it be known clearly that Ulster will not stand it."

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Mu- nicipal ownership of street railways as the best and quickest way to convince the public that it is im- practicable and undesirable was advocated today before the federal electric railways commission by Mortimer E. Cooley, dean of the college of engineering of the Uni versity of Michigan.
 Dr. Cooley said he believed 1t was impossible to educate the pub lie to the needs of the street rail- ways in time to relieve the present stringency of high costs and low returns of which they are com pIaining. Such education, pr. Cooley said, would require a gene ration.
 He indicated that the present fares should be at least 50 per cent higher and even this he declared would be only palliative. He sug- gested removal of some of the taxes now borne by street railways and exemption from the obligation to maintain the street paving be- tween the car tracks.

Radical Planks Were Part of Organization Plan Says New York Labor Head on Witness Stand
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, July 17.-James F. Holland, president of the New York state federation of labor, testifying to- day before the joint legislative com mittee investigating radical and sedi- tious activities in this state, declared that the 1. w. W. had organized many thousands of workers throughout the country on a platform which included in its plank one calling for the de- struction of the American government. The most powerful of the radical or ganiZations, MT. Holland asserted, was the amalgamated garment workers of America, with membership which he estimated at 70.Oeo.
 As an evidence of the~wide sweeping plans of the I. W. w, letters were read into the testimony in which I. W. W. leaders urged European and South American workers to join in a scheme for international revolutionary indus trial union." One of the most ambitious projects was the organization of the marines workers of the two Americas and the maritime European countries in to "one big union"
 The most fruitful field found by the radicals in this country, according to MT. Holland has been the garment industry, the second greatest industry in the United States. Asked what were the principles of the organization formed by the I. ". W. among the garment workers, MT. Holland replied
 "They don't believe in government. They preach that behind closed doors and some of them preach it out of doors."
 The witness was then asked If it ever had been brought to his attention that the amalgamated garment work CTS favored a soviet form of govern ment.
 Tt has not only been brought to my attention but it has been rammed down my throat" replied Mir. Holland But the majority of the working men and working women are Americans first and not soviet as some would have us believe"

Returning Troops Enter Capitol and Numerous Disorders Foliow-Army Head Assumes Control
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS, July 17-Bela Kun, head of the Hungarian communist government, has been busted, according to dis patches from reliable sources in Vienna received by the peace conference.
 Troops returning from the Czech frnaf were reported entering Budapest in large numbers. Budapest was in disorder.
 Herr Boehm and Herr Lander have taken control of the communist gov ernment.
 Bella Kun was reported in a Buda- pest dispatch Wednesday to have broken off with nearly all of the so- cialist leaders. Officers of the soviet army were said to be deserting at every opportunity. The communist leader was quoted as having said he was tired of trying to ride socialist and communist horses at the same time. Herr Boehm, commander of the Hun garian armies, was reported in prison in dispatch from Vienna Wednes- day, which also stated Bella Kun was | seeking some excuse to leave Hungary and that he would not return. Bella Kun assumed the post of min lster of foreign affairs i'll the Hungar- ian soviet government which succeeded the republican government set up by Count Karolyi. He took office in March, 1919, and immediately got in touch with the heads of the Russian soviet government.
 The council of five at Paris, July 5, reached the conclusion, it was stated, that it was impossible to make peace with Bella Runs government. Conse- quently it was considered necessary to maintain the blockade.
 Recent events in Budapest have pre- saged trouble. An attack was made on the soviet headquarters by three monitors in the Danube, aided by land forces July 2. As a result 40 youths from the Budapest military academy and three officers were hanged.

Harding Announces Unequivocally He Will Not Be in Race for Governor of Native State-Senate in
 Controversy Over Mayo Promotion
By HIGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, Setember B--(Special) President Wilson has put the soft pedal on the efforts of individual members of Congress to punish or suppress the pub fishers of radical negro periodicals in the United States.
 Sometime ago, as is recalled. Repre- sentative Byrnes of South Carolina pro- ceeded in a speech before the House against the Menace and the Messenger. Subsequently he took his complaint to the Attorney General. His argument was to the effect that the publications were radical in the extreme, and were dan gerous in their tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and black races.
 Later, Representative McDuffie of the First Alabama district, incensed by the contents of an issue of the Messenger, interviewed the Postmaster General in an effort to secure the suppression of that periodical. He pointed out car toon representing a negro driving an automobile through masses of fleeing whites, the negro driving and shoot ing into the frantic crowds. Men fall ing were soldiers bearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the editor congratulated the negroes for their
