CONTROL OF CIVIL AFFAIRS
Will Be Turned Over to Rhineland Com,
mission First of All.

Coblenz, Monday, June 80 tBy the AS
sociated Press Control of civil affairs
which have been under the Jurisdiction
of the army during the period of occu-
patton, will be the first department to
be taken over from the military author
titles by the inter-allied Rhineland com.
mission, which is to be the administra-
tive body Of all the occupied areas in
Germany.
It was announced to-day that the date
upon which the commission will come
into supreme power in the Rhinelands
is still uncertain. Pierrepont Moves, the
American commissioner, said upon his
return from Paris to-day that the un-
derstanding was that the commission
would not come into full control until
the treaty had been ratified BY Germany
and three of the great powers. Drafts
of ordinances are now being drawn for
publication as soon as the commission
assumes jurisdiction. In the meantime
the censorship of all mail and telegraph
ic matter continues. The army is also
restricting the circulation of civilians
within occupied areas and the move
ments of those desiring to visit unoccu-
pied districts.

TO HANDLE TORY REVOLT.
Premier Lloyd George Has Urgent Mat
ter on His Hands.

London, June 30.-0ne Of the urgent
matters with which Premier Lloyd
George has to deal, now that he has re-
turned to England, is the revolt of some
200 Tory members of the coalition against
what they suspect to be the govern
ment's intentions in the field of nation
alizing industries. They fear that ma
tionalization of the coal industry will
be followed by the adoption. OF similar
measures with railroads and other con
Germs, and are especially agitating the
transport bill, which gives Sir Eric
Geddes, minister WITHOUT portfolio, ex-
tensive powers over transport of all
kinds, including the port of London.
These dissenting members of the
House of Commons held a meeting to-
day to lay their views before Andrew
Bonar Law. government leader Of the
House, who in reply gave an opinion that
the question of naturalization was not
involved in the transport bill. He added
that the premier and himself had never
discussed naturalization and that he,
himself, would regard naturalization as
great evil He concluded by saying
that he felt great objection to run
ming the railways as a government de-
partment,

LIGHT BEER BEING SOLD.
Was Exempted from Wartime Prohibi-
tion Regulations.

Washington, d. c., July 1.-The whole
nation awoke to-day to realization of
prohibition. Only those who had been
provident enough to stock up" in ad.
vance for the long drought or who could
find solace in 294 per cent brew were able
to start the day with an early morning
''bracer."
War time prohibition, banning for the
time being all distilled liquors and leav
ing in cloud of doubt the future of
beer, was effective at midnight Exemp-
tion of beer from the list of forbidden
beverages came as result of an llth
hour announcement by the department
of justice that pending decisions in pres
ent litigation to determine whether
brew containing 234 per cent of alcohol
is intoxicating, no action would be tax
en- toward stopping the sale of beer con
tanning no more than that amount of al
eohol.
Thus. pending court decisions or action
by Congress defining intoxicating bever
ages, sale of the lighter drinks in states
in which there are no regulating laws
will be permitted until Jan. l6 when
constitutional prohibition becomes effec-
tive. Other than this, the only ray Of
comfort for the anti-prohibitionists is
the coming of the time when President
Wilson will declare rehabilitation of the
army complete, which automatically
would suspend operation of the war
time act until Jan. l6

NINE PEOPLE DEAD
AND OVER 40 INJURED
IN TRAIN COLLISION

motive to the brakes on tie train was
found shut off at the place where the
tramp was ridip
The official report says that when the
locomotive of train No. exploded after
telescoping tho steel Pullmans it drove
the wreck into such tangled mass that
p. c. Crowley, general manager of the
New York Central, who was in Dunkirk,
had to order aeetylene flame torches to
separate the wreckage
The official report to the railroad ad-
ministration puts the known dead at
nine, the mortally injured at three, the
seriously hurt at II and does not give
the number of lesser wounded, although
it is said to be large.
The preliminary investigation has de
veloped that on leaving the Buffalo yards
the engineer of train No. tested his
brakes three times and found them
working but had no further occasion to
use them until running into Dunkirk,
when he encountered caution signal
registered by No. al standing in Dun
kirk station. When he applied the air,
it acted on the locomotive and tender
only and was not communicated to the
cars following. The train crew states
that the engineer whistled for hand
brakes bnt before they could be used
No. crashed into the standing No. Al.
As the wreckage was cleared the
crushed body of the tramp was found
on the head end" the narrow space be-
tween the tender and the first ear of the
train. The angle cock controlling the
flow of air through the brake pipes was
closed. 1t probably will never be devel-
oped whether the man unwittingly closed
it with his foot, or used the cock as a
step to lift himself up onto the car, or
whether it was done Intentionally.

MEXICO COMMITTED
OVERT ACT At OIL WELLS
BY Sending Soldiers Into the Fields and
Driving Away American Workmen
Engaged in Oil Operations.

Washington, ID. C., July 1.-The Mex
lean government has committed an overt
act of confiscation in preventing Amer
lean oil well drillers from working on
lands owned by American individuals or
companies by sending soldiers into the
fields and driving away the workmen,
state department officials said to-day.
Complaint was made 70 the Mexican
government on April 2 Of this year, it
was learned, against the refusal Of the
government to grant permits to the oil
companies to drill No answer was re-
ceived until after the Juarez incident, it
was said, and then President Carranza
announced no permits would be granted
until the companies had complied with
the law. Compliance with the law, state
department officials said, would consti-
tute recognition by the companies that
the Mexican government owned the oil
lands.
The orders TO the military forces that
drilling be prevented by force of arms
was issued by President Carranza last
May l6, according to advices from Mex
leo City to-day. The petroleum depart
ment instructed the Mexican war de-
partment by direct orders of Carranza,
to use any fierce Necessary to prevent
drilling without permit although the
lands on which drilling was being done
were legally acquired by the present
oWners.
The war department transmitted the
orders with specific directions as to ac-
tion TO be taken by the soldiers to the
military commanders at Tampico and
Tuxpam and Immediately companies Of
soldiers were sent into the fields. 1t was
not known how many drilling gangs
were driven out of the oil fields by the
soldiers, but two have been reported and
raids have been made, according to Off
cial reports, on the camps of other oil
workers.
