FALLING BLIMP AFIRE
HITS CHICAGO BANK
Aircraft on Test Flight PIunges
500 Feet Through Glass
Roof.

Chfcago.-Twelve persons were
Killed and 20 injured when the Good
year Rubber Company's big dirigible
balloon exploded while 1000 feet in
the air and fell in flames to the top
of the Central Trust and Savings
building.
Eight of the victims were bank en-
ployees and four passengers of the
dirigible. Jack Boetiner, pilot in
charge of the dirigible, escaped with
but few scratches by a parachute
leap.
The balloon had been making
series of flights during the afternoon
from White City, an amusement park,
and had kept an altitude of about
1000 feet. Thousands of persons were
watching the flight over the Loop dis
trict when a small cloud of gas was
seen escaping.
The pilot observed 1t and began
to point the nose down. The machine
appeared to be under control and near
the ground when 1t ran into a corner
of building and bounded upward sew
eral hundred feet There was a flash
and the gas envelope crumbled and the
whole mass shot toward the ground.
The pilot and the four passengers
had fixed their parachute belts, and all
leaped. The pilot landed safely on the
roof of building; his assistant, Henry
Wacker, expert, was seriously injured,
although 1t is believed he will live; !;
Earl N. Davenport, publicity man for
| the White City Park, passenger,
killed; Carl Weaver, motor expert for
the Goodyear Co., killed; Milton G.
Bolton, photographer, both legs bro
ken.
The other victims were employees
of the bank. Four were girls. About
| fifty clerks were sitting near the sky
| light. The steel engine, followed by
the lighter mechanism, crashed through
without warning upon them. Through
the doors they stampeded, injured,
some in flames caught from the burn
| ing mass. The room caught fire
Panic ensued. There were only two
exits through which they could leave
the wire cage which surrounded the
rotunda.
Men and girls with clothing flaming
! fought their way through the exits.
| Girls on the second floor ran screaming
to the windows and several jumped to
the street.

QUELL STRIKE ON RHINE.
American Military Police Bring
Germans to Terms.

Coblenz.-American military police,
armed with machine guns and sawed
off shotguns, put down a strike OF
German workingmen in less than two
hours after the men had walked out.
The strike, which involved 800 men,
was in Bendorf- f-on-Rhine. 1t was call
ed in conjunction with the general
strike in Berlin and ether parts of
Germany, Notwithstanding warnings
from American Headquarters.

Washington.-Th Yolstead prohibit
tion enforcement bill, in many respects
the most drastic peace time legislation
before any Congress, passed the house,
2S7 to 100, after more than three weeks
of debate. 1t goes now to the senate,
where the Anti-Saloon League lobby
has been marshaling its forces for
quick and final passage.
An analysis of the vote shows that
16S Republicans, 116 Democrats and
3 Independents answered AYE" while
4S Republicans and 80 Democrats an
swered mo" Three members answer
ed 'present''-Crago and Graham of
Pennsylvania, Republicans, and Boob
er of Missouri Democrat.
The 100 opponents of the bill were
scattered throughout a third of the
states of the Union, but one-fifth of
them were from New York state. The
Tammany group lined up against the
measure. Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio and
California provided most of the re-
naming opponents, but states that
long have been dry were represented
in the negative vote.
The "solid south" was not in evi-
denCe, there being several votes from
that section against the measure
North Carolina, dry ten years or more,
furnished two. Others came from Ala
bama. Florida. Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas. Northwestern states, such
as Wisconsin and Iowa, furnished
votes against the measure
Many who voted for it finally did
so because they dared not go on rec
ord against the bill. A motion to re-
commit the measure and to substitute
an amendment by Representative Igoe
of Missouri, placing the enforcement
under the ordinary laws of the coun-
try. was defeated, 255 to 1876.
Throughout the roll call officers of
the Anti-SaloOn League continued their
vigil from the galleries, which was
started when the bill was brought up
in the house
Senator Sheppard of Texas said that
the senate would pass the house bill
with a few immaterial changes. He
thinks final action will be quicker than
in the house. He predicted that there
would not be dozen votes against it
on the final showdown.

delegates at St Germain by Secre-
tary Dutasta of the Peace Conference
The Austrians have fifteen days in
which to make their final observations.
AS they already have put in several
notes to which the conditions handed
to them constitute the answers the be-
lief is that the negotiations will be
concluded rapidly and that the treaty
will be signed at the expiration of the
time limit
The annexation Of part of Hungary
seems to foreshadow trouble with Bella
Kun's forces unless the Allies decide
upon military offensive to eliminate
his Government. Austria with her
army reduced to 10000 men by the
treaty, will hardly be in condition to
cope with the Hungarian Reds in
seizing this territory, and it would
seem as if the Allies must give Aus
tria military assistance.
The territory awarded to the
| Czechs south of the Danube gives
them control of the central railroad
leading to the Adriatic and the Jugo-
Slavs, thus securing the Czechs outlet
to the sea.
The sum the new countries are to
pay as part of the Austrian debt viii
be /, 1,500,0O0,O00 francs in gold (ahout
$500, ,0000 000), the Czechs paying the
larger share. The treaty, as many here
see it, forces Austria into bankruptcy,
as it is impossible for her to meet
the reparation payments imposed. Not
only this but she will have no credit
to procure her revictualling.
