Kansas Man Would Keen
PLANES Out of His Air

KANSAS CITY. July Whether a
property owner is also owner of the
air above his land is to be determined
through court action brought by
Frederick Hoenemann, a farmer. He
seeks to restrain a company owing air
planes from using the air above his
farm.
Hoenemann contends that the sight
of the machines and the noise of their
engines disturb the livestock.
Legal experts of England have dis
cussed the matter from the standpoint
of national ownership of the air, it
is said.
Some lawyers contend that freedom
of the sea and freedom of the air
are the same. while others assert the
courts have held that ownerhip car
ries with it light and air above the
property as we'll as the earth beneath.
1t is pointed out that when the steam
engine came there were many lawsuits,
the plaintiffs contending that the noise
as we'll as the danger jeopardzed their
stock The Massachusetts Supreme
Court however, rendered the opinion
thar the locomotive was lawful and in
keeping with progress. Attorneys say
similar condition arose when motor
cars came into use, but the highest
court of Indiana ruled in their favor,
on the ground that the law must keep
pace with progress.

LONDON, July 30.--Failure OF the
attempt made to-day at Leeds in a
conference of coal miners and employ
ers to end the coal strike which has
been IN progress for some time, caused

Sir David Shackleton, permanent
secretary of the Ministry of Labor, at
tended the conference on behalf of
the Ministry of Labor and afterward

both sides to the controversy and

to industries dependent upon coal He
suggested the formula of a compromise
which he said he considered would
enable the miners to resume work and
settle their differences later.
Another serious situation is devel-
opng in the coal fields throughout the
country, aside from Yorkshire, owing
to delay in dealing with the demands
of colliery surface workers, which have
been the subject of negotiation ever
since the coal commission issued its
report some time ago. The men are
becoming restive and threaten to cease
work unless the matter, which appears
to be an affair of the Ministry Of
Labor, is speedily settled.

Bees Among the Strangest
Weapons Ever Used in War

Probably the most remarkable weap-
ons of war ever used on the field of
battle were swarms OF bees. There are
at least two we'll authenticated in
stances of the use of this novel and
stinging war material.
The first is related by Appian of the
siege Of Themiseyra, in Pontus, by
Lucullus on his war against Mithri-
dates. Turrcts were brought up,
mounds were built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The people
OF Themiseyra dug open these mines
from above, and through the holes cast
down upon the workmen bears and
other wild animals, together with
swarms of bees.
The second instance occurred in
England. The Danes and Norwegians
were attacking Chester, held by the
Saxons and some Gallic auxiliaries.
After adopting stoning and boiling
water remedies in vain against the be-
siegers' the Saxons threw down ali the
oeehives in the town upon the soldiers,

Bargeload of Alcohol in

Fire on Boat Police Say
Caused Five Deaths

A bargeload of wood alcohol, which
the Jersey City police believe already
had been responsible for five deaths,
blew up last night at Pier IA, Communi-
paw Avenue, Jersey City. The fire
spread to two other barges and to the
pier. The damage was estimated at
more than 100000
The barge on which the explosion
occurred was owned by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. 1t was towed
out into the bay and sunk after two
explosions had scattered fire oy,r a
wide area. Charles Gustafson who
was employed on one of the argos
that suffered from the fire, was I armed
severely on the hands.
Inspector Philip Leonard. or the

that five men, whose deaths in the last
three days were found to be due to
wood alcohol poisoning, had got the al

Himself Deported Before
Law Denying Return to
Alien Enemies Is Passed
Neuc York Tribune

w WdSnIngtOn bureGN
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Dr. Kari
Muck, who refused to play "The Star
Spangled Banner" is trying desperate
ly to continue to reside in this coun-
try, it was revealed to-day on the floor
of the House, during consideration of
the Johnson bill providing for depor-
tation without privilege of return If
interned alien enemies and others con-
victed of violations of war acts. The
House accepted the bill unanimously.
According to representative John
son, chairman of the House Immigra-
ton and Naturalization Committee, Dr..
Muck has been trying to be deported
to Switzerland before the johnson bill,
which would bar him forever from this
country, becomes law. If Dr. Muck
succeeds, according to Representative
Johnson, he might later return to this
country.
German agents were back of the Chi
cago and Washington race riots, de-
clared Representative Het1n, of Ala
bama, whom Representative Moore, of
Pennsylvania, characterized as "the
leviathan of Southern oratory."
The bill as passed provides for de-
portation of SIT alien enemies now in
termed but not convicted Of crime.
These originally numbered over 1000.
Some 1000 were permitted to return
to Germany. Those remaining will be
considered undesirable residents and
given full hearing.
The other class Of deportees consists
of about $50 alien enemies convicted of
various acts in connection with the
war. Many of these violated the
espionage act, the sabotage act, acted
as spies for the Central Powers, were
bomb plotters or enemy sailors and
soldiers.
The bill has further "teeth," in that
deportation may also be used against
aliens hereafter convicted Of the fol-
lowing acts:
/. Interfering with this country's
neutrality, foreign relations, foreign
commerce, and SO forth.

Future Sales and Open

OTTAWA, July 30.-The Dominion
government decided late to-day to buy
and market the Canadian wheat crop
of 1919. The crop will be sold "at pre-
vailing world prices" and the surplus
proceeds will be divided among the
original sellers of the wheat Specula-
tlon and profteering will be prohibited.

2. A cash payment on account to

sells his wheat.
3: The wheat crop of Canada to be
sold by the board at the prevailing
world prices, and the surplus pro-
ceeds, after expenses are deducted,
to be distributed to the original SELL

grade and quantity.
T.. No speculation on exchanges or

AMSTERDAM, July 80 (By The AS
sociated Press) The work Of the In
ternational Trades Union Congress to-
cussion in committee of the old inter
national organization over the German
laration of the stand of German
trades unronists during the wa The
Germans maintained an unrepentant at
titude until Samuel Gcmpers, presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor. told them plainly that if it
We're continued it would be impossible
for workers of other countries to
maintain relations with them in the
future. The Germans thereupon some
what relaxed.
The committee had before it the
resolution presented by Herr Sassen-
busch, German Socialist, which ad-
mitted German wrongs in Belgium,
but affirmed the conviction that the
German people were betrayed by their
imperialist government into believing
they were fighting defensive war,
and insisted that the German trades
unions in the war had been coerced
by the government.
The committee made the following
report:
"That the statement of Herr Sas-
senbach be incorporated in full; that
the regrets expressed therein be
registered; that the German delega-
tion confirm frankly and openly the
spirit of SassenbachN declaration;
that if the avowal be frank, open
and satisfactory, the conference will
proceed to the order of the day:
that if unsatisfactory, freedom of
action be reserved"
Against all expectations, the con-
ference adopted the report without
debate.
