JUST THINK OF rs
FEET OF SNOW IN Jul Y
That's What They Have in South
America Many Sheep and Cat
tie Drown in the Floods.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Government reports show that
100000 sheep and 100000 cattle
have been drowned in floods in the
southern part of Buenos Aires prov
ince. The railways and telegraphic
communication have been interrupt
ed and several sections in that re-
gion have been completely isolated
for more than a week from this
cause.
Over on the Chilean side of Argen-
tina there have been further heavy
snowfalls along the trans-Andiene
railway, causing new damage to the
line. At one point the debris on the
tracks has accumulated to a depth
of $50 feet.
The snowfall in this region has
been nearly continuous for month
and in some places this is more than
25 feet deep.

Senator ties resolution, in
curing why u "a was not al

been referred to the committee for
consideration.
President Ready for Tour.
Late developments in the contro-
versy indicate that the president will
have little time to appear before the
committee to answer questions about
the treaty and the league. 1t has
been said that the chief executive
has been arranging to leave Wash
ington on his nationwide speaking
tour in behalf of the league of ma
tions and the peace treaty about
July 22nd. The president, however,
may delay his trip if the committee
indicates its desire to question him
at length.
The League for the Preservation
of American Independence, which
was organized to defeat the league
of nations, has prepared for ma.
tion-wide move against ratification OF
the peace treaty, and speaking
campaign has been arranged which
will likely include the, entire country.
Administration Confident.
While President Wilson and demo-
crat senators realize that the repub-
licans have sufficient majority IN
the senate to defeat ratification OF
the treaty in it's present form, the
administration appears to be conf
dent of ultimate victory, even though
it may be necessary to approve some
of the reservations demanded by the
league opponents. Official Washing
ton, also, believes that compromise
eventually will be reached, although
the present situation points to bit
ter fight during the next few weeks.

AIRPLANE SCANDAL
CHARGES REVIVED
LUMBER COST u. S. $3.50 THOUS-
AND, PRIVATE COMPANIES
$50. AFFIDAVITS GIVEN.

WASHINGTON, D. ca new in,
vestigation of American airplane
production, or rather the lack of pro.
duction, during the war had its birth
today in charges of fragrant waste of
public funds. of incompetence, of
dishonesty and of dissipation by army
officers.
The charges are made by the Prov
idence Or. ~ Journal and submitted
with afidavits supporting them to
the house committee investigating
war department expenditures.
This latest official opening of a
modern Pandora's box uncovers a
phase of aircraft emergency manu-
facture not heretofore revealed in
detail, that of the production of
spruce lumber in the northwest. The
subcommittee on aircraft production,
headed by Representative Frear, of
Wisconsin, is to inspect the spruce
forests for first hand confirmation of
the charges made by the newspaper.
Summary of Charges.
The committee withholds just now
the text of the affidavits submitted
by the Providence Journal covering
the substance of these documents
was issued tonight, however, by the
publicity representative of republi-
can members of the committee, and
a part of it follows:
"These affidavits deal chiefly with
the getting out of spruce timber, gov
eminent railway construction and
other activities of the airplane SER
vice of the Pacific coast. They declare
that the government was subjected,
under the cost-plus system, to cost
of virtually $3.50 a thousand of
spruce when private concerns were
procuring the same kind of spruce
for from $3.50 to SITS a thousand.
"The charges assert that some of
the companies given contracts for
the construction of railroads and the
production of spruce timber had no
practical logging experience or
knowledge; that the waste caused by
these companies in the building of
camps in inaccessible localities, camps
which had to be abandoned, ran into
many thousands of dollars; that there
was an utter lack of proper care of
foodstuffs and that in many cases
hundreds of dollars worth of flour
and lard were carelessly thrown in
the mud at the side of a road and
left to rot. In one instance even
stoves were left by the roadside eX-
posed to the weather and ruined.
"There are affidavits alleging that
many miles of two-inch plank roads
were built into the forests and never
used; also the construction of camps
where spruce lumber was felled, but
not stick ever brought out.

CONSUMERS WON'T
PAY FOR WRAPPINCS
PACKERS MUST STAMP MEAT
WITH NET WEIGHT. WILL
REDUCE THE COST.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Paper
wrappings on meats will no longer
be costly to the ultimate consum-
err" as the result of a provision in TIE
agricultural bill, recently passed,
which was made possible by joint
action of Senator Kenyon and Rep
resentative Sweet, of Iowa.
Mr.. Sweet, who has been after the
packers for some time to require
them to desist from weighing in the
paper wrappings on meat as part of
the product, revealed the amazing
fact that by reason of ruling Of
the attorney general over year ago
every piece of wrapped meat was
stamped with the gross weight, in
Guiding the wrappings, making the
purchaser pay for several ounces of
paper with every ham or other meat
product bought.
To compel the packers to show on
" the net weight Representative
Sweet introduced bill in the house
providing that every piece of wrapp-
ed meat should be listed as a package,
and come under the federal provision
that the net weight of the ''pack-
age" be charged for.
When the agricultural bill was un-
der consideration Mr.. Sweet sought
to have an amendment carrying his
package provision attached. The
house disagreed, but the senate con-
ference committee, largely through
the activity of Senator Kenyon, real
lied the justice of Mr.. Sweets con-
tention, and approved the amend
ment.
When the bill finally was approved
the house conferees agreed with the
senate conferees, and the provision
was made a part of the bill. The law
will require all wrapped meats to
bear the net wight stamped plainly
on the package, and the consumer
hereafter will only be charged for
the meat and not the paper wrap
pings.

ROCKING CHAIRS GUST
PEWS IN THIS CHURCH

The Rev. George B. Gilbert,
rector of the Episcopal church of
Chester, Conn, has ordered the
pews removed from the church
and rocking chairs installed in
their place.
Mr.. Gilbert asserts it is the
monstrosity of straightforward
pews that is killing the church.
He intends to have his parishion-
ers comfortable when they gather
to hear the gospel. The old ladies
can rock as hard as they want to,
can make the chairs squeak and
can take their bag of stockings
to mend if they want to.

WANT TO KNOW HOW
PEACE CASH WENT
HOUSE RESOLUTIONS MAKES
SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AL
LEGGED HIGH ROLLING"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An inquiry
into the expenses of the American
delegation to the peace conference,
with reference to money expended
for entertainment, was urged today
by Representative Elliott, republican,
of Indiana, in resolution introduced
in the house.
Mr.. Elliott was moved to act in
this respect by a story appearing in
the current bulletin of the publicity
department of the republican nation
al committee. Under the heading,
Royal Entertainment in Paris at
American Taxpayers Expense" the
republican committee charged lavish
expenditures for entertainment and
luxurious living.
AT the close of the old congress the
state department asked for an appro-
priation of $5,OOO,O00 to be applied
to the presidents private fund, with
the understanding that all or part of
it would be used to defray expenses
of the peace mission. The sum was
not appropriated and Senator Pen
rose and others indicated they would
demand an itemized account of the
peace MISSIONS expenses. There was
no information here today as to the
items entering into the expenses at
Paris.
What the Charges Are.
"The taxpayers of the United States
will no doubt find interesting the
hotel bills which have been run up
at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris,
where the American peace commits
sioners have been living through the
deliberations of the peace confer
ence, This has been the headquarters
of the commissioners and their reti-
nue. of their families, servants, ex-
perts, clerks, funkeys and stats.
Virtually since last November the
rooms of this hotel have been filed
by the commission, it's attaches, fam
lilies and servants. The huge party
has lived in fine state at this estab-
lishment, and seventy big automo-
biles have been at their service eth
er for business or for pleasure.
Growing it all, as a sort of climax
to the luxurious arrangement, was a
ball the night of June Is, which is
said to have continued through the
night. The Stories go that there was
no absence of champagne in large
quantities.
People Must Pay.
Needless to say the American pub
lie will pay good round sum for all
of this magnifcence. Owners of the
hotel are said to have put in one bill
for loss of their regular customers
to 100000 francs
($400,000). This does not include a
bill for wear and tear, which, it is
said, will be twice as large, and there
will be still other bills which, it is es-
will bring the aggregate up
to about $1,000,000. All this is apart
from salaries for this princely aggre-
cation from a country of supposed
democratic simplicity, expense for
transportation and so on. If these
bills are ever scrutinized by a re-
sponsible committee of congress there
will be some most interesting revela-

HAS BLOODY CLIMAX
FEAST BROUGHT THE

Two men were killed and four

battle staged in the Kentucy noun
tains in recent years. The fight took
place, near the home of Doner Neece,
in Breathitt county. The mountain

ton was being held. During the fes-
tivities the Noble brothers, who had
long been feudal enemies of the Flu
gate clan, passed the Niece home
and were invited to join the party
of mountaineers.
The Mobiles at first demurred, but
finally agreed. Trouble began as soon
as they had passed the gate. Green

When Courtney Noble resented the
