DISTURBANCE IN
AIR rs CAUSE OF
UNEXPECTED RAIN

More rain this afternoon and to.
night will be needed before the
thirsty crops of Illinois and Iowa
are satisfied.
Unforeseen rains which developed
over night amounted to only / of an
inch, just enough to settle the dust
of the roads and dampen the corn
fields. Precipitation was reported
all over western Iowa and more
was predicted for this afternoon
and tonight in both Illinois and
Iowa
During extreme hot weather, dis
turbances IN the atmosphere
caused by the sun, often develop
on short notice, Andrew M. Ham

afternoon. The forecast made to-
day is for thunder showers this aft
ernoon and tonight, with fair for
Saturday and not much change in

UeaIs Practice of
Smuggling.
BY EVERETT EWING.

Consolidated Press Correspondent
(Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Norfolk, Va, June 30.-That there
has been more or less indiscrim-
mate smuggling of intoxicating
liquors iUto the United States on
board vessels of the United States
navy is indicated in orders just
promulgated by Rear Admiral Hugh
S. Rodman, commandant of the
fifth naval district. These orders
are intended to stamp out the prac-
tfee OF any attempts at smuggling
in the future on vessels entering
the United States through Hampton
Roads. If any liquor is brought in
the responsible parties will be ap-
pretended and dealt with severely.
General orders from the rear ad-
miral sounding this warning were
issued from fifth district headQuar-
tiers at the naval base. They are
the outgrowth of the conclusion of
the first phase of the naval investi-
cation being made into the attempt
TO smuggle 81 cases of high grade
liquors into this country from San
Domingo on the naval transport
Sirius. The inquiry has run its
course here, but will be continued
in San Domingo where important
light is expected to be thrown upon
the Illicit liquor traffic. The 81
dozen bottles of whisky were put
aboard the Sirius from a lighter in
San Domingo harbor. done up in
four large packing boxes.
Real Probe Planned.
The board of investigation is
headed by Commander B. T. BuI-
mer. United States navy. and in
cludes Captains w. T. Galliford and
r. L. Nelson of the marine corps,
with Lieutenant c. W. Cary, United
States navy, as recorder and Cap
tain ]. G. Ward, marine corps,
counsel for interested parties.
Little was brought out here suffi-
GENTLY to fix guilt upon any Off
GERS or enlisted men of the navy or
marine corps but the probe will go
deep, it is declared, and the guilty
party or parties properly punished,
Several navy men, involved in an
attempt to smuggle intoxicants
from the West Indies on the mine
sweeper Red Wing last winter and
tried at the naval base here, are
serving terms in the naval prison
at Portsmouth. n. H. This is the
fate awaiting guilty parties in the
Sirius case.

Calcutta, April 6.-Winston
Churchips declaration at a dinner
in London and in the house of COM
mons that Indian immigration into

Africa, would not be permitted by
the colonial department has caused
Il storm Of protest in British India.
Nationalist leaders in all parts
of the country are making 1t plain
to the government that they Will re-
sist any restriction of the rights of
their fellow Countrymen in Africa.
The Indian legislative assembly
at Delhi, after a keen debate, has
passed resolution condeinning
the policy announced by Mr.
Churchill and declaring that ANY
failure in his majesty's African
territories to meet the lawful claims
of Indians for equality of status
with all other classes of his majes-
TVS subjects will be regarded as a
serious violation of the rights of
Indians to citizenship"
The assembly requested its "em-
phatic protest 20 be sent to the
British cabinet.
This action of the assembly was
vigorously upheld at a public meet
ing in Madras where Mrs. Annie
Besant, theosophist leader, vehe-
mently denounced the doctrine of
superiority of the white race over
the colored and advocated that
meetings be held all over the coun-
try in support Of the Indians in
Kcnya.
c. T.. Andrews, formerly an Eng
fish missionary, now a leader of
the Indian nationalist, in a speech
protested against the proposed pro-
hibition of Indian immigration into
Kenya and against the segregation
in residential areas. In conclud-
ing, he said:
ut (the British policy implies
that Anglo Saxon civilization is to
dominate the world, The Anglo
Saxon race is to have a dominating
world policy and a dominating
world power. This is what | have
called the cult of the white en-
pire, the religion of the white race.
Everywhere in the British col-
onies in Africa | have found It's
game, the white empire ideal, this
same white race religion. To me
this arrogance of the white race is
detestable. 1t is un-Christlan. 1t
is inhuman."

would say that representative

to this house and ought to be kick
ed OUT
MIR. Gamers statement, coming
after Blant0n had defended himself
against newspaper article threw
the house into great disorder and
brought from the speaker a sharp
quick command TO the sergeant at
arms to prevent a personal clash
after Blanton had shouted he would
hold Garner responsible if called 4
liar by him.
At the outset of brief speech
Mr.. Garner said that in this world
there ARE all kinds Of liars, the
artistic liar. the inartlstic liar and
the common liar"
Representative Blanton, sitting
few feet away jumped to his feet
and exclaimed: And | will hold
you personally responsible if you
call me a liar"
Mr.. Garner did not notice the in
terruption, but representative
Summers, also OF Texas, sitting
nearby. jumped to his feet and
shouted liar at Mr.. Blantoh, at the
came time starting in his direc
tfon.
II was at this point that the SER
geant at arms rushed in and Blan-
ton retired. Then there came from
the democratic side of the chamber
a cry of throw him OUT which
was picked up by other democrats
and for a moment there was great
confusion. Mr.. Garner waited unit.
quiet had been restored to proceed
with his speech.
Representative Blanton's speech,
which started the row, dealt with
an address recently made in Texas
in which he discussed some of the
things provided fer members of
congress in the regular office bu Id
ing stores which they are permit
ted to purchase out of each mans
stationery allowance of S125.
"You cannot defend these meas
ley items of graft" he shouted, re-
ferring also to mileage allowances
Attacking Rlanton as GREAT

at is a hard thing to say what
is in ones mind about an indi-
vidual. I say ! have the firm con-
viction that I believe this individ- |
ual creature would debauch the

Then, making his charge as to
'debauchery," Mr.. Garner added.
II speak what is in the minds of
all of us from Texas when | say
that the members OF the Texas
delegation hang our heads in shame
when Thomas Blanton is referred
to as our colleague. And | speak
what is in the minds of the entire
democratic party / believe it is
the sentiment Of every man here
that we look upon him as a liabil-
ity.
II regret, Mr.. Speaker, that I
cannot speak what is in my mind.
But if 1 could forget the rules of
this house, / would say thai
Thomas L. Blanton is a disgrace to
the house and ought to be kicked
