IN POLITICAL FEST
Lloyd George to Show Hand in
Manchester Speech; Seats
in Demand.

London, Oct. 13-(By The Associat-
ed Pressl l.-Curiosity and speculation
Friday night revolved upon whether
the speech delivered today at Birming
ham by Austen Chamberlain, govern
ment leader in the house of commons,
may be taken. as an Indication of the
line the premier will assume in his
address Saturday at Manchester. The
speech revealed Mr.. Chamberlain as
stiIl a convinced and devoted coalition
ist and Loyalty attached to Premier
Lloyd George.
Political circles consider that per-
haps the most notable point in Mr..
Chamberlain speech was the plain
intimation to his party of the danger
of allowing a labor government to
come into power, accompanied by the
dark shadow of direct action, capital
levy and other similar planks in the
labor platform. His allusion to the
laborites is regarded as susceptible of
being interpreted in two ways, first,
as the line of policy for the coalition
in the event of an appeal to the coun-
try, and second, as a mere hint to Mr..
Chamberlain's own party, which now
is declared to be dangerously split into
supporters and antagonists of Mr..
Lloyd George, and a warning to them

FEARING To JUMP
FROM PLANE, GIRL
DRAGGED To DEATH
Miss Chattanooga, Stunt Flyer,
Meets Tragic End, Cling
ing to Rope.

Cleveland, Tenn, Oct. i3.-(By The
Associated eSs).-Dangiing In mid
air, unable to climb back to the air
plane and afraid to trust to a drop into
the lake below, Miss Eva Moss Chat
tanooga, stunt flyer, Friday afternoon
was fatally crushed when the aviator
was forced to descend.
\ Miss Moss went up for an exhibit
Htlon flight, and had ciamhered out onto
the wing of the plane, then let herself
down the twenty-five foot rope ladder,
where she was suspended In mid-air
by her teeth.
When the time came for the young
woman to climb back to the airplane,
either by reason of exhaustion or
through becoming entangled in the rope
of the ladder, she was unable to do so.
The pilot, seeing her predicament, flew
out over lake and circIed about as
low as possible, at the same time
calling and signalling for her to Jump
into the water.
Whether through fear or inability to
do this is unknown, but she remained
clutching at the end of the rope.
In landing the young woman was
thrown against the ground with ter
rifle impact, after which she was DRAG
ged for 100 feet before the plane came
to a stop.
She lived for twenty minutes, but
never regained consciousness.
Aviator PEBBLES, with whom Miss
Moss was flying, is heartbroken over
the tragedy. He has announced his
Intention of never again flying.

BURNING SHIP RIDES
PACIFIC As OTHERS
GUARD LANES Of SEA
Flaming Liner Menaces Navi-
CATION; Survivors Near
to Port

San Francisco, Oct. 13.-(By the
Associated Press.) - The veteran
United States army transport Thorn
as was steaming Friday night in the
Pacific ocean toward San Francisco
with the 261 passengers and mem
bers of the crew of the liner City
of Honolulu, which is drifting,
burned-out hulk on the sea lanes, to
the southwest. Army transport serv-
ice officials here expect the Thomas
to arrive Sunday.
Word from the transport to The
Associated Press Friday by the wire
less service of the Federal Telegraph
company, was to the effect that the
passengers were in good spirits and
that they evidently showed no fear
when the fire crept around them on
the great liner and forced them to
be thrust into the sea in small boats
to await what proved to be a kindly
fate. The tons of water poured into
the City of Honolulu's blazing COM
partments caused her to list heavily
to port, according to word from the
Thomas, swing the stricken vessels
small boats outboard on the port side
and greatly increasing the rescue haz-
ard. Later the great vessel righted
itself so that the boats could be low
erred with greater facility.
Word from the West Faralon Fri
day was that the City of Honolulu
was still burning. Day reports told
of the caving in of her superstructure.
The ocean swells sent up clouds of
steam as they Tapped against the ves-
sells blstering hot sides, but she con-
tinued to ride the seas easily and
showed no indications that the flames
which raked her would send her to
the bottom. The blackened hull was
much to hot to be approached Fri
day, according to radio from the
West Faralon to her agents, Struth-
ers and Barry, here. The rescue boat
was told to stand by" until it could
be determined whether she should tow
it to a mainland port or merely wait
until salvage vessels arrived.
On account of the Honolulu having
been changed by fire from swift
liner to a menace to navigation, she
must be closely watched.

HAGUE AWARDS
100000
AGAINST j. 8,
Judgment for Norway
in Ship Requisitioning
During War.

The Hague, Oct. 13.-(By The As
sociated Press. Norway has been
awarded approximately S12,000,000 by
the arbitration tribunal which for sew
eral months has been considering the
controversy between the United States
and Norway involving claims growing
out of the requisitioning of Norwegian
vessels by the United States during
the war.
The award was made known Fri
day, and the American arbitrator,
Shandler P. Anderson, who did not at
tend Fridays sitting, communicated
to the secretary general of the trlbu-
nal and the agents of Norway and the
United States his opinion that the
terms of submission had been violated
and that the tribunal exceeded its
jurisdiction as outlined by the special
agreement under which the shipping
dispute was submitted to arbitration.
Notice was served by William G..
Dennis, the American governments
agent, that he reserved for his govern
ment all the rights arising out of the
plain and manifest departure of the
award from the terms of submission
ana from Ilt eSSenllui cEEOE Dy
which it is invalidated."
Disregarded Hague Convention
The grounds on which the American
arbitrator and agent claimed the terms
of submission had been violated were
not presented to the tribunal, but it
was said by those conyersant with the
case that one of the principal reasons
was the alleged disregard of the pro-
nE Nhn 10 n
1907, requiring arbitrators to state
the reasons for each award made.
From the beginning of the present
trial. it was said both sides to the
arbitration, as well as the tribunal
itself, agreed to be bound by The
Hague convention.
The present decision, covering ~
large printed pages, does not give the
reasons for the award of each claim
ant, but recites the reasons for the
justice of the general award. The
awards of each claimant are given in
Il flat sum, including interest at an
unstated rate. The method whereby
the sums were arrived at is not speci-
fled.
Seized Ships and Material
Chief among the points of contro-
versy throughout the tribunals sit
ting was what was requisitioned and
when. 1t was argued by the United
States that the order issued by the
United States shipping board August 8,
1917, which merely reQuisitioned ships
then completed and materials for un-
completed vessels.
Norway, on the other hand, claimed
the United States requisitioned not
only ships and materials, but also con-
tracts and claimed compensation for
their marketable value.
