Alliance Goes Dry When
Water Plant Is Shut Down

Alliance, Neb., June 29.-(Special.)
Alliance was an exceedingly dry
city for nearly "a hours, when the
city water supply was shut off, due
to the blowing out of a gasket in
one of the wells. Before workmen
could locate the trouble a large steam
pump had drawn all of the water
out of the reservoir and the oily
sediment that had accumulated on
the surface of the water in the reser-
voir had been forced into the mains
throughout the entire city, making
the water unfit for use. Gardens and
lawns suffered to some extent, due
to the excessive hot weather pre-
vailing, and soft drink establishments
and ice cream parlors did thriving
business in quenching the thirst of a
famished populace. City Manager
Kemmish and force of workmen
worked all night making repair. In
the meantime some of the business
houses were supplied from the Bur-
lington reservoirs.

three laborers and one foreman.
Only Alliance men will be given
these jobs, it is stated. Most of
the men who will be returned to
work were laid off several months
ago, due to the slack in railroad busi-
ness and many of them. including
number with families, have since
been unemplo, ed. A marked in
crease in freight business, due to
the movement of crops and live
stock, is given as the reason for put

the eleventh hour, put a tax of IS
cents barrel on crude and rs cents
a barrel on fuel oil.
The lumber schedule, as originally
drawn, was cut to pieces last night
by the committee, which finally
needed the appeal of republicans to
have finished lumber kept on the
free list. Shingles, however, were
taxed in the lumber schedule, but
many other items were not.
President Given Powers.
In deciding to drop the retaliatory
tariff proposal, the committee pro-
vided that if any country imposed
duty on any Of the free list lum-
Der exported fro mthe United States
the president might enter into ne
gotiations with it to obtain removal
of the tax and failing, would be
empowered to declare equal rates on
the product imported from such
country.
The leaders, in the fight to have
lumber remain on the free fist, indi-
Gated that such other differences as
might exist on the subject would be
adjusted. The tax of 50 cents a
thousand on shingles brought some
complaints from members who had
been urging that no duty be imposed
on any products needed at this time
in relieving the housing shortage
The oil tax, ipmosed on the heels
of the action by the committee last
week, was unexpected. The duty
was not high, it was said, as that
proposed and rejected the other day
by vote of 9 to 8. but American oil
producers kept up the fight and the
ratew as the last important action OF
the committee before Chairman
Fordney took the bill to the house
and formally introduced it.
Along with oil, the first party
caucus is expected to deal with the
chemical schedule and some others.

Radio Control
OF Airplanes
{. Within Sight
Assertion That Invention Will
Be In Actual Use Soon
Made in High Naval
Circles.
BY Universal Service.

Washington, June 29.-"Radio
control of airplanes actually is with
in sight. The Navy department hopes
to be in a position Nvery soon to
prove it"
This startling assertion was made
by man in high naval circles to
Universal Service.
THE absolute demonstration of
what has been only theory for
some months will, when the time
comes, be nothing short of sensa-
tional," the official added.
For obvious reasons none of the
actual details were revealed today.
Discussing radio control OF heavier
than air flying machines, he said:
1T might be contended that the
pilot of an airplane loaded with
bombs would be the best agent for
the control and direction of the ma
chine. Radio control, however, makes
any loss of life unnecessary and ac-
curacy of direction and position can
be obtained by radio from scouting
planes, far out of the zone of dan
ger from anti-aircraft guns.
''It is obvious enough that if a
vessel the size of the Iowa, which
will be the central figure in the
bombing tests off the Virginia capes,
can be accurately directed by radio,
the same thing can be done with an
airplane. Furthermore, the navy soon
will be ready to prove it by steer
ing a squadron of bomb-laden planes
to a given area, where the bombs
will be released with an effect that
may be imagined"
Naval officers say that with these
plans there necessarily must be
revolution in the line of protection
against such an enemy as the radio
controlled plane will prove. The ef-
feet of such an attack, it was point
ID out, can only be measured by the
number of planes the enemy might
:are to risk in the movement.

: Over 1919 While Operating
Expenses Increased
1882 Per Cent.

New York, June 2o.-Total rail
way operating revenues Of the South
ern Pacific company and its sub
salaries for 1920 aggregated $282,

large increase over the previous year.
