Papers of Importance on the work
were read by some of the delegates,
while others gave splendid talks on
things which have made their camps
a success. A question box with an
open discussion was much enjoyed by

which gives one most excellent ideas
on that line.

out the R. N. A. colors, with a token
to st. Patrick, and showed the work
of a very able committee.
A good program followed the eats,
which in each case was we'll rendered.
A special feature was the fancy drill
by sixteen ladies of the local camp.
All were beautiful in white dresses,
with crowns of glittering tinsel, and
carrying long sashes of purple and

Fire i'm Lumber Yard
Causes 100000 Loss
Explosion of AcetyIene Torch
Believed TO Have Started
Flames at Ralsa Plant

The lumber yard of the American
Balsa Company and the frame plant of
the Central Structural Steel Company,
at 152d Street and the Harlem River,
were destroyed by fire yesterday, caus-
ing damage estimated at 5000 900.
More than 100000 feet OF lumber was
burned.
The explosion of an acetylene torch
that was being used by one Of the steel
company's workers is believed to have
ignited the wooden fence that divided
the properties of the two concerns.
The fire spread rapidly through the
great piles of lumber and created such
an intense heat that the volunteer fire
department of the lumber company was
powerless.
An alarm was turned in by George
Metz, the lumber company superinten-
dent, end this was answered by Act
ing Deputy Fire Chief Bernardo F.
Carlock, who promptly turned in two
more alarms. This brought Fire Chief
John Kenlon and Deputy Fire Com
missioner Joseph NJ. Harmon.
The plant destroyed occupied a 400
foot frontage on Exterior Street, run
ming back 200 feet to the waterfront.
The concern has been manufacturing
life rafts, refrigerator insulation and
paneling for boats.

Actress, Ryan Heiress,
Wins Fight to Keep Auto

Surrogate Cohalan yesterday denied
the application of Charles A. Curran,
administrator of the estate of Joseph
J. Ryan, son of Thomas Fortune Ryan,
for an order directing Miss Dorothy
Lucille Whitford, an actress, of 172
West Seventy-ninth Street, to turn
over to the estate an automobile which
the administrator claimed was the
property of the decedent. Miss Whit
ford, to whom Mr.. Ryan bequeathed
the greater part of his estate, made
affidavit that the automobile was her
personal property, the testator having
presented it to her in June, 1920.
Mrs. Joseph j. Ryan is contesting the
will of her husband. The case was
called yesterday in the Surrogates
Court, but because of the inability of
Mrs. Ryan TO get back here in time
from Italy, and the further fact that

ueys in the case, is also engaged in
the Stillman divorce suit, the trial of
the contest was postponed to October

La Cllardia Tells
Ministers Dry Act
Can't BE Emf
HeckIed by Auditors, but
Thanked Afterward for
Frankness on Prohibition.
Mayoralty Aspirant Says

President F. H. La Guardia of the
Board Of Aldermen yesterday took 9
stand with reference to the enforce
ment of prohibition which may have a
vital bearing On mis- mayoralty pros
poets. He told the Methodist preach
ers Of the metropolitan district at
their weekly meeting, held at $50 Fifth
Avenue, that prohibition was unen-
forceak.e. If the Republicans adopt any
attitude at all on the prohibition issue
they are likely to stand for enforce
ment of the dry act, inasmuch as it is
the law of the land and Governor Mil
Ger was elected after declaring for en-
forcement.
Major La Guardia in his address to
the Methodist ministers spoke strong
ly for the enforcement of law and the
suppression of vice. He had his au-
dience with him until one asked him
about the enforcement of the dry law
He replied in substance that in mis-
judgment the dry law could not be en-
forced in New York, because of the
cosmopolitan character of the popula-
ton and their naturally liberal habits
This led to more or less heckling by
the ministers. When asked about his
stand after the meeting, Major La
Guardia said:
'The Methodists asked me where
stood on enforcement, and | gave it as
my judgmen. that prohibition could
not be enforced in a large city like
New York, on account Of the cosmopoli-
tan character Of the people and the
fact that thousands of them have been
in the habit of drinking all their lives
l told preachers that had not changed
my position from the time when the
Volstead act was before Congress
when l voted against it.
after the meeting adjourned sew
eral of the ministers were gracious
enough to shake hands with me anc
thank me for my frankness. They said
that my candor was refreshing in con-
trast with the usual lying and side
stepping that they encountered on the
question of prohibition"
Major La Guardia's friends who saw
him yesterday said that he would be
a candidate for Mayor on five-cent
fare platform, some of the other
planks calling for home rule for New
York, direct primaries, and g liberal
enforcement of prohibition.

Inquiry Into Lobbying
Referred to Committee
Favorable Report Is Expected
ON the King Resolution
Asking Investigation
From The Tribume's Washington Bureau

From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Kings resolution for an investigation
into the alleged expenditures of large
sums by American dyestuffs interests
to promote dyestuffs legislation and
also for an investigation into lobbying
and lobby expenditures in Washington
was taken up in the Senate Judiciary
Committee to-day.
The resolution was referred to sub
committee, consisting of Senators Cum
minis, Sterling and Walsh, and will be
considered soon. Expectation is that
the resolution will be favorably re-
ported to the Senate and adopted, and
that there will be an airing Of the al
legations.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
still has before it bills intended to
curb lobbying before Congress, but
Senators say there are hard legal oues-
tions involved in any effective legis-
lation, and these have resulted in de-
lay.

Says New Beer Law
Would Wipe Out
Chemical Industry
DR.. Teeple Declares Measure
Backed by Anti Saloon
League Would Destroy
Important Enterprises

DR.. John E. Teeple, chairman of the
Chemical Society, said yesterday that
the new Volstead bill now pending and
designed to prevent the use of beer as
medicine means disaster to the basic
chemical industries.
He pointed out that while the chem
ical industry is strong for law en-
cripples the manufacturing require
ments of the country.
ITO the chemist" he said, "alcohol IS
not booze. 1t is simply chemical
upon which he must rely for the pro-
duction of innumerable essentials
With the jokcrs in the proposed iegis-
lation the law would have far-reachlng
effect on great variety of chemical
industries.
"The important American dye in
dustry," he said, depends upon alcohol.
The manufacture OF smokeess powder
and the chemical warfare processes CT
making poison gas will have to stop If
the supply of alcohol is shut off The
manufacture of celluloid would have
to stop. The manufacture of M oti on
picture film here would be severely
hampered, if not prevented, and made
ha1ardouS LOT investors. ne COST OF
everything that depends on chemi-
cal processes would be affected.
"This new bill represents the efforts
of the Anti-Saloon League to make pro-
hibition effective, no matter what the
cost to other industries, to medicine OF
to science. The Anti-Saloon League
should change its name to the Anti
Industry League"
DR.. Teeple said that there would be
a meeting of the New York section OF
the American Chemical Society on Fri
day to discuss the new Volstead bill.

Although Postal Privilege
Has Been Restored to
Paper, Decision l. Called
Victory for Government
Power TO Curb Assured
Anarchistic and Bolshevik
Propaganda Can Be Shut
Out by Mandatory Order
From Tbs Tribunals Washington Bareas


WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Dis
trict of Columbia Court of Appeals to-
day reversed the District Supreme
Court decision giving the publishers of
The New York Call writ of nandamus
to require the Postmaster General to
restore the second class mailing privi-
iege to that newspaper. This victory
for the government, while not directly
affecting The Call, which recently was
re-admitted to second class mails by
independent action Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Hays, is believed by government
attorneys to give TO the fostoffice De-
partment ample authority in the future
to curb anarchistic and Bolshevik
propaganda so far as the use of the
mails is concerned.
William II. Lamar, formerly solicitor
for the PostofFice Department, who ar
gued the case on behalf of the govern
ment, after reading the opinion of the
court, said:
This is one Of the most important
opinions from any court on the ques-
ton of the power OF the Postmaster
General over the United States mails
fixed the public policy with respect to
the non-availability Of classes of mat
ter.
an the New York Call case the Dis
trict of Columbia Court of Appeals
now holds that Communistic and Boil
shevistic matter which daily appears
in that publication is in viola ton of
Section 21l Of the Criminal Code as
amended, which is permanent legisla-
ton and is in force in time of peace
as well as in time of war, and makes
non mailable any matter tending to
incite arson, murder or assassination
"The New York Call is only one of
many newspapers and magazines which
constantly publish matter of this char
acter, all of which are affected by this
decision according to the particular set
of facts in each case. The court sus-
Burleson, who refused to grant the
sccond-class mailing privilege to The
New York Call for the reason, among
other things, that it was daily publish
ing matter in violation of Section 211
of the Criminal Code
"The decision in The New York Call
case practically concludes large num-
Der of law and equity cases brought in
the courts throughout the country dur
ing the last eight years against Post
master General Burleson, all of which
have been finally decided in his favor.
In these court proceedings mis- powers
have been questioned to issue fraud
orders, to cancel screen wagon con-
tracts and substitute government auto
truck service, to fix rates for service
for the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS during government control, to
take over the cable properties, and to
issue various orders in relation to
other postal activities, in all of which
cases he was fought bitterly.
'In each of these classes of cases he
had to encounter certain public hos
tility, due largely, if not entirely, to
lack of public information as TO the
