STILL A MYSTERY
Roma Disaster To Go Down as
Another UnsOlved Riddle.
But American Airmen Learn
Lessons From the Wreck.

Washington, July 26.-American
and Italian technical experts are in
disagreement as to the NEST probable
cause of the~wreck of the semi-rigid
Italian built army dirigible Roma,
Feb. p, last, near Norfolk. Va, with
the loss of "a lives. The final report
of the investigation board was made
public today with an accompanying
statement from Secretary Weeks de-
clarinE there was no controversy be-
tween American and Italian authori-
ties involved.
The report stresses the stateme nt
that all the facts of the disaster can
never be known. Those who might
have known what sent the ship plung-
ing to earth in a swift nose dive to be
destroyed by fire on the ground perish
ed in the wreckage. Physical evidence
that might have told the story was
consumed in the flames.
The air service report draws from
the disaster certain definite lessons.
1t holds in future such airships should
be inflated only with non-explosive
helium gas: that provision should be
made so that the ships commander
could drop all or any part of the
ships ballast instantly; SO that he
also could drop all gasoline fuel tanks
and so that he could cut off all motors
instantly with a central master switch.
The board found that no ballast
had been dropped before the Roma
struck earth; and that two of her six
Liberty motors were still running,
pulling her earthward.

in POSTER QUERY
Strikers at Emporia Want to
Post Golden Rule Now.
Ask Attorney General If 1t Is
All o. X. With Him.

EmporIa, Kan, July 26.-The at
torney general of Kansas Tuesday was
asked by Mayor ]. c. Brogan for per
mission to post the golden rule in the
windows of Emporia, where the strike
posters were displayed and later taken
down.
The striking shopmen presented the
proofs of a new poster which they
wished to print and circulate in the
Emporia stores.
The strikers say they can win only
by keeping the peace. They have ask
ed the leading citizens of Emporia to
come to their hall every afternoon at
roll call and preach peace to them. No
attractions of the law have occurred
in Emporia. The mayor has explained
this in a letter mailed this afternoon
to, the attorney general The mayor
declares in his letter the business men
of Emporia actually want to show
their sympathy with the attitude of
the strikers by putting this poster IN
their windows to replace the posters
taken down. His letter asking for per-
mission to post the golden rule on the
streets OF Emporia is unique in Of
fetal annals of Kansas. 1t reads:
Enclosed you will find a proof

posters with reluctance when the pub
licity committee asked them to- do so.
1t does not seem to me that there is
harm in this poster. s
LAS Emporia is at peace and .aezpur
merchants would only keep up the
posters in order to maintain peace,
most earnestly beg of you to allow
these posters to go up in the windows
in Emporia to replace those removed
at the request of the strikers. I want
to assure you. Mr.. Attorney, that the
strikers, the business men and peace
officers of Emporia are workfaga to-
gether in a splendid and effective way
to maintain peace"
Mayor Brogan urged the attorney
generalsto wire his approval or disap-
prevail of the posters.
The poster follows:
I'VE stand for the Golden Rule:
Therefore all things whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you
do We even SO to them; for this is the
law of the people and the prophets.
And we, believe that this is inter-

ing debts into treasury notes falling

Huge Reduction in Notes.
Gas a result of these operations"

WAITS On OTHER POWERS.
japan Won't Ratify Arms Pacts Until
All Others Act?

Toxic. July 26.-Japan has decided
not to ratify the Washington disarma-
ment treaties until the other powers
act, it was learned today. This deci-
sion is due to reported uncertainty as
to France ratifying the treaties in the
form they were drawn.
1t is believed here. France will add
reservations thru which Japan may
benefit by including them in ratifica-
ton.
The decision did not become known
until the return of the regent from
his summer home. 1t is understood

Washington. July 26.-Destruction
OF union labor, deliberately planned

Recent developments certainly
seem to justify the view took of a

now, Borah declared. "One reason
certain big interests supported and
encouraged the presidential aspira-

was that they were confident if he
were elected to the White House he
would place battalion of soldiers at
the doorway of union labor wherever
and whenever those interests deemed
the use of armed force necessary to
crush union labor"
Borah said he was deeply concerned
about the incalculable hardships the
continued deadlock was bound to i'm
pose upon the great masses of the peo-
pie.
TN its determination to crush union
labor, capital started out as soon as
the world war was finished to defIate
wages, to slash them irrespective of
whether they were reduced below the
level of the living wage or not"
Borah continued.
