BRITISH RULE
ISDlSCUSSE|D
London Educator at
Convocation Exercises
at University.

The British empire is not q nation,
not q state, but a collection Of nations,
q. collection of states, bound together
as followers of common ideals" de-
clared Professor Arthur Percival New.
ton Of the University Of London. Lon
don. England. speaking to a capacity
audience at university. convocation ex-
ercises this morning.
There is no definite legislative
bond uniting the different parts Of the
empire-they r almost entirely in
dependent, but r bound together by
sentiment, by common loyalty to the
empire"
Professor Newton's address was
characterized as a mastery interpre-
tation of the spirit of the British em-
pire. of. the spirit and ideals Of the
British peoples. He discussed the
policy followed by England in dealing
with India and midas government.
Indian Situation.
In every way in an economic fashion.
In caste system, in q social way, and in
a political way. And this change is
Of profound interest to the world for
when one-f1fth of the peoples Of the
world, which India contains, change
so, it cannot be without interest to
the world"

in what ways India was dependent
upon he crown, and in what ways
she was Independent Of the crown. He
described briefly the part taken by
Englishmen. in The government of
India 4a- ,
He characterized the proclamation
in. 1917 of the king emperor of India,
which praised the Indian people for
their service to the empire in the a
and promised to give the Indians a
greater share In their wi govern
ment, as something really great-and
as supported by the imperial rule in
England, 1t was indicative Of Euro
pea peoples sympathy with h de-
sires OF Asiatic> people.
Self Government.
1.-The spirit of the empire is that it
is better, far better for a people to
govern themselves moderately well
than to be governed by the best auto
crat in the world" Professor Newton
said. '
Professor Newton's idea was that
This increased power Of self govern
ment Of the Indians should come
slowly, directed by the English people
now giving their life to civil service
work in India.
Professor Newton spoke again at /
O'Clock this afternoon to students in
history department classes. His lee
ture covered a number Of topics.

Then followed a further ringing
denunciation and challenge to the

and attempted to evade the issue at

intended to do the right thing. Mr..

the fat out-and-out question:: Am

Petroleum Go. Abandons
Fight to Build Tanks
Sought Sanction to Store 2, $780,
900 Gallons on Beekman
Place Site

The Petroleum Heat and Power Com
pany has withdrawn all pending liti-
cation before the Board of Standards
and Appeals with reference to it's at
itempta to- obtain official sanction for
the storage Of 100000 gallons of fuel
oil in tanks at Beekman Place and the
East River water front, in close prox-
unity to many dwellings,. No decision
was rendered by the board, but the
matter was before it so long without
action that Robert Adamson, formerly
Fire Commissioner and now president
Of the company, terminated all pend
ing proceedings.
Residents and property owners in
the neighborhood formed a civic COM
mittee and retained Ellery o. Ander-
son as counsel to resist the attempt
of the oil company to erect huge tanks
almost at their doorsteps. Aside from
the fire hazard features of the objec-
tions, Mr. Anderson resurrected the
original land grant of the old Beck
man family, in which it was stipu-
lated that the Beekman farm or any
part of it should never be sold for any
purpose that might be Dangerous, un-
healthy, unsightly," etc. The commit
tee Of citizens attended several hear
ings on the matter and strongly voiced
its protests.

Would 'sSave'' Maryland
By Law Against Dancing
Baltimore Mans Bill Proposes
to Bar Even Quadrilles on
the Eastern Shore
speciol Dispatch to The Tribun

Special Dtspdtct 10 Ihe 1Tto~He
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 28.-John
A. Weilbrenner, representing Baltimore
County, in the House of Delegates yes
terday introduced bill making it un-
lawful to indulge in square dances,
round dances, fox trots, shimmying,
jazzes or any other kind Of dancing in
the counties comprising the Eastern
Shore"
AS soon as the bill was introduced
and it's purpose became known Delegate
Gambrill moved to make it an emer-
gency measure as essential to the
preservation of the health and saliva
ton of the people Of Maryland"
Not quite satisfied even then, he adj
vocated that a referendum be tackled on
the bill with the provision that all
those on the Eastern Shore thirtyfive
years of age and older should be denied
the right Of franchise.
When the irony in the Weilbrenner
bill was recognized a pleasant time was
had by all except the delegates from
the Eastern Shore. Some of them took
it seriously and some others began to
see double when the purport of the
Weilbrenner bill broke upon the calm
and peace of rainy day in Annapolis.

Pepper Fumes Overcome
Three at $25O,OOO Fire
Three Alarms Necessary to Save
Structures Adjacent to
Burning Warehouse


A quarter of a million dollars worth
Of coffee and spices were destroyed by
fire last night in the Fidelity Storage
Warehouse Company's plant, at 288 and
900 South Street.
The fire started on the top floor of
the three story brick building, and the
flames were shooting through the roof
and eating their way to the second
floor when the firemen arrived. Both
floors were Quilted, and three alarms
had to be turned in before the force
was sufficient to save adjacent struc-
lures.
Firemen saved some of the 10000
bags Of coffee on the second floor by
heaving them to the street. Tenement
house jewellers in Cherry Street, block
away, were ordered to shut their win
dows to keep sparks from igniting their
household goods.
The fumes of burning pepper, which
spread sneezes for blocks around, over
came three men at the fire. One of
them was Robert M. Manner, honorary
deputy chief. Mr.. Manner was so af-
fected he. had to stop serving milk to
firemen and serve some to himself.
Fireman John Quirke, Of Engine Com
pany Is, was sent back to quarters after
being revived The third victim, Fire
man William Schultz, Of Hook and
Ladder Company Z, was able to remain
on duty

Italy to Work Out Own
Salvation, Says Avezzana
Ambassador Denies That Slow
ness In Reducing Army Inn
nairs COuntry's Finances

Declaring 1t was untrue that Italy
was not reducing it's armed force rap
idly enogh to keep the finances OF the
Country in az good condition as they
might be. Baron Romano Avezzana, the
italian Ambassador to the United
States, speaking at a mass meeting held
last night in the Lexington Theater in
furtherance Of his governments "dol-
lar campaign" for financial aid, said
that Italy had turned back 100000
men to industries.
"Italy," he said, "since the signing of
the armistice has. without any increase
Of her exterior debt, transformed the
war machine into peaceful one, and
has increased production and exporta-
ton with home loans, the last Of which
has attained the remarkable figure OF
more than 10000, 100000 lire. The peo-
pie are confident the next budget will
meet the whole expenditure and the
monetary circulation will be reduced"
He said the forces under the flag
soon would be reduced to minimum
as consequence of bills on the army
and navy that the Cabinet had sub
lifted to the House.
A large crowd greeted the ambassa-
dor, and applause greeted his assertion
that Italy is determined to work out
her own salvation.

shin Are Denied

BUENOS AYREs, March 27.-Addi-
tional diplomatic documents in connec-
ton with the dispute between Peru
and Bolivia, emanating from the
Bolivian Foreign Office, have been made
public here. One note, after denying
taat Bolivia had been mobilizing troops
and established censorship, declares (:
"The Peruvians have now antago-
nized US by impeding the departure of
the daily steamer from our port of
Guaqui, on Lake Titicaca."
The note reiterates declarations that
all foreigners in Bolivia, and particu-
larly Peruvians, have been given ample
guarantees of protection, while a
second note charges that Peruvians
have renewed attacks upon Bolivian
residents Of Peru. This note reafirms
Bolivia's desire for an outlet to the
ocean, declaring: "Bolivians will never
be satisfied if they do not get a port of
their own on the Pacific"

Scores of residents of Adena, most of
them women and children, visited to-
day the little cemetery on the out
skirts of the village where a newly
made grave, banked with flowers, marks
the resting place of Frances South,
a schoolgirl eleven years old, who was
murdered last Thursday.
Near her, home a dozen men, all
neighbors, continued their search for
clew to her assailants, Their efforts
were fruitless, however, and the posse
returned to Adena tonight.
County detectives, deputy sheriffs
and citizens, who had been securing
the coal fields in the region Of Adena
since the girls body Was found, ad-
mitted to-day that they were working
in the dark" The county authorities
seem to have given up all hope.
Determined to continue the hunt, q
committee Of ..Adena citizens, headed
by Mayor Alvin Stringer, made can
yass yesterday to raise fund as a re-
ward. for the, capture of the murderers
Every house in the village and outly-
ing districts was visited by members
day that approximately $4,000 had been
contributed. Mayor Stringers probably
will make an official announcement to-
morrow, Offering the fund as a reward
for the arrest of Frances South's STAY
ers. Children eagerly gave their
pennies. Bankers, coal operators and
merchants contributed $50 and S1OC
each.
Members of the citizens committee
said tonight the Jefferson County
authorities will be asked tomorrow tc
appropriate at least $4,000 to be added
to the reward; fund. The commission.
ers also will be asked to appropriate
sufficient money to pay private de-
tectlves to work on the case.
OF the twelve; suspects taken into
custody since the tragedy, only four
all negroes, brought from CGrrolltor
yeste rday, are being held in the count,
Jail here. Sheriff w. T. Baker said the
negroes probably would be released to-
morrow. The four suspects were in the
railroad yards in Adena last Thursday
but the authorities say they are salts
fled the men had no connection with the
murder The negroes were grilled il
jail last night and ali maintained thai
they were at least half mile from the
scene, of the murder.
Removing the shoes from the foul
