WILL TEST FARM LOAN ACT

Kansas City-The constitutionaIity
of the Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916
was attacked in the federal court re-
Gently in a test suit on the tax free
features of land bank securities, filed
by Charles E. Smith, a stakeholder
and director of the Kansas City Title
& Trust Company, against his COM
pany
The petition states that Smiths suit
grows out of the company's intention
to buy 5000 of land bank securities,
contrary to Smiths will, as he consid-
cred the tax exemption of those Sc
curities Illegal and that they were sub
ject to back taxation.
Smith, in his petition filed recently,
asks the federal court to enjoin the
company from the purchase Of land
bank securities, declare the tax ex-
emption clause of the land bank act
unconstitutional, and declare the Is
suance of bonds under such act illegal
and Unauthorized.

General Pershing, leading the Amer

the French and other Allied leaders
and their contingents. The tremend-
Gus force was virtually continuous.

RACE RIOT IN WASHINGTON
Whites and Negroes Fought All Night
in Streets Of National Capt.
tal-Many Injured.

Washington. : Police and hospital
records showed scores of negroes were
injured in the widespread clashes be-
tween white men and negroes here the
other night. More than a dozen re-
groes, some of them suffering from
severe beatings at the hands of mobs,
were treated at hospitals and scores
were cared for at their homes.
The rioting. which began shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock, lasted until early the
next morning, and although many ar
rests were made, so widely scattered
were the outbreaks that the police and
3 detail Of provost guards were unable
to cope with the situation. Riot calls
came in from several sections in rapid
succession and the entire police re-
serve was kept busy practically all
night
Most Of the injured negroes were set
upon singly or in pairs, but the more
serious of the clashes were between
mobs and negroes who had assembled
in crowds at several points. Clubs and
stones were used freely, but no fire
arms. Fists were the principal weap-
ons OF battle.

COMMONS RATIFIEs TREATY
The British House Also Approved the
AngIo-French Alliance - No
Changes Were Made.

London.-After what was virtually
an all night session, the House Of Com
mons approved the German treaty and
passed the bill ratifying the Anglo
French pact The German treaty went
through without amendment. The
Anglo-French treaty bill was passed
unanimously.
The bill carrying approval of the
German treaty was considered in CON-
mittee Of the whole, exciting lengthy
debate, in which Premier Lloyd
George took an active part The bill
was then placed before the house and
passed its third reading, after a mo-
ton by John DeFlin to reject it as
protest against the premier's attitude
towards Ireland had been defeated 163
to f.
Then, at o'clock IN the morning,
the Anglo-French convention was
taken up and the bill approving it was
unanimously adopted, after a short
but sharp debate, in which the srgu-
ment that the treaty was not consist
ent with the spirit OF the League OF
Nations had failed to find any sub
stantia1 echo.

Almost the last prop was knocked
ont from under the Presidents cam
paign, when William Howard Taft,
chief Republican advocate Of the
league. aligned himself with those not

himself, still does not think they are

mands in that body for changes in the
treaty, the exPresident has written

Flaming DirigIbIe Falls Through
Roof of Chicago Bank Scat
tering Flames Among
the Employees.
GASOLINE TANKS EXPLODED
TWO Hundred Clerks, Mostly Girls,
Trapped in Burning Building,
Fought Their Way to Ex
its-Many Injured.

Chicago. - Eleven persons were
killed and twenty-seven injured, some
of whom may die, when a gigantic
dirigible, on its test flight, caught fire
and fell five hundred feet, crashing
through the glass roof OF the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank shortly befC, c
3 o'clock the other afternoon.
Most of the dead were employees Of
the bank, trapped and burned to death
in whitening rain of fire caused by
the explosion OF the balloons gasoline
tanks as they hit the floor of the TO-
tunda of the bank where over two hun
dred bOokkeepers and clerks, neatly
ali girls, were working.
Thousands Saw Tragedy.
The "blimp' owned by the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company of Akron,
o., had been flying in the sky above
the loop for several hours when the
accident occurred. Thousands wit
messed it
When approximately 500 feet above
the bank, squirt OF flame was seen to
shoot from the top Of the gas bag near
the center of the aircraft. The crowds
gathered on the street to watch the
flight saw the great machine buckle
and culver as it started on fits fatal
plunge.
A Ball of Flame.
Four of it's five occupants jumped
and two of these landed safely in the
streets as the "blimp," a Veritable ball
of flame, struck the roof Of the bank
with a crash audible throughout the
loop district
There was nothing to warn the hun
dreds of employees Of the institution OF
the coming tragedy. A shadow passed
over the marble rotunda where $50
were busy and a terrifying crash fol-
lowed
1t seemed, according to the surviv-
ors, that the entire bank was on fire.
Breaking through the iron supports
holding the glass overhead, the fusi-
lage of the ''blimp" with two heavy
rotary engines and several gasoline
tanks smashed to the floor.

FOREST FIRES ARE SPREADING
Men in Montana and Idaho are Fight
ing Desperately to Check Flames
Many Sheep Lost

Spokane, Wash.-Raging over noun
tain ridges Of western Montana and
northern Idaho, forest, fires, have been
burning for more than a week, spread
destruction and threatened small
towns which have been severed by the
flames from communication with the
United States forest service headquar-
ters at Missoula, Mont.
The fire near Henderson, Mont,
jumped the mountains into the Mullan
Gulch country where there is said to be
practically no opportunity to catch it.
The fire near st. Regis, Mont, crossed
the Clark Fork river and was spreading
unchecked over a large area.
Only with favorable weather condi-
tiOns is there any possibility of con-
trolling the flames, district forest serV-
ice officials said
Call for More Men.
1t is costing the federal forest serv-
ice $4,000 daily to fight the fires in
this district, it was said, besides the
damage done to valuable timber and
other property. Extra fire fighters now
in the field number 1900, besides the
regular forest service forces, the extra
patrol and construction crews and the
trail construction crews now fighting
the fires. The number of men put in
the forests by private timber owners is
unavailable.
The United States employment bu-
reau telephoned every newspaper in
western Montana and to every avail
able place where men may be found
asking that all possible men be rushed
to forest service offices to meet the
calls for fire fighters.
Destroyed 100 Sheep.
It was reported that the sheep caught
at AIberton between two cross-fires
and destroyed numbered seventeen
hundred. They were the property of

considerable damage was reported in

SENATORS AGAINST LEAGUE

Washington.-To back their asser-
ton that the League Of Nations in its
present form is doomed, opposition
leaders, it was learned recently, have
offered to furnish President Wilson
with a list of thirty-five senators who
have solemnly pledged themselves to
vote for the rejection Of the whole
treaty unless radical amendments CT
reservations are adopted.
Ratification of a treaty requires a
two-thirds vote Thirty-fiye senators
would be two more than enough to re-
ject the treaty. The senators whose
names appear on the list are in most
instances the same as those who
signed the Lodge round robin" last
March and forced the revision of the
covenant by the Paris peace confer
ence
