SHEIK HORSEWHIPPED

Lashed by Arab Horseman, Miss
Wattenberg Says, Upon
Return.

NEW YORK, July 4 C4).-Her back
still bearing the marks left by horse
whip in the hands of an Arab sheik,
Miss Gizella Wattenberg returned yes
terday on the United States liner
George Washington with an entirely
different conception of the desert
Bedouin from that she had previously
found in fiction.
Miss Wattenberg is the daughter, of
Philip Wattenberg, wealthy real es-
tate owner of the Bronx, who is presi-
dent of the Galician Federation, and
who gave 100000 to the Epstein Uni
versity. a branch of the New Univer-
sity of Jerusalem. Her father and
mother returned with her after sew
eral months in Palestine.
Miss Wattenberg, leaving her par
ents in Jerusalem, Joined & party of

to observe the ancient Jewish custom
of animal sacrifice.
The party was slowly proceeding over
the mountainous trail when q band of
horsemen swept down. circled them
twice and began to throw stones Miss
Wattenberg said the Arabs We're dirty,
slovenly and vicious. They beat the
guide over the shoulders, and then the
leader of the band brought his whip
down several times across Miss Wat
tenberg's back.
A party of Americans then appeared
on the scene and frightened them
away.

Eight Ne,0 Types
Of Planes Tested
For Air Nail Work
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 4.-On the Mon
mouth haywood air mail experimental
track are being tested eight new types
of airplanes, from which 1t is hoped
to develop n standard mail plane
The all-metal monoplane, the first of
the Ford series, is capable of carrying
1000 pounds or more Of mail, while
the Carrier Pigeon and Mercury
have similar capacity. The others in
clude world cruiser" type, q Boe-
ing, a HuffDeland and a Cox-Clemens.
Present air mail planes Of the De
Haviland type carry only 500 pounds
of mail, due to lack of cubic capacity.
Since the 3-mile a minute Army
biplanes have visited the Maywood
hangers, the aerial postmen have be-
come bit discontented with their
100-mile hour cruisers. If the new
type planes carry several. hundred
pounds more mail and fly only 95 miles
per hour, they are likely to be declared
too slow" by the pilots This may
seem queer TO non-fyers, but TO air
men it is logical, for speed in the air
means better control. Control in turn
means a greater safety for the pilot
and his cargo.
From experiments with the new
type planes it is desired to develop a
more efficient plane to be built in
quantity.

Continued from First Pagel
suddenly as an orchestra was play
ing a dance selection. More than
100 guests were in the club for a
night before the Fourth of July cele
bration. Many of them were be-
lieved to have made their way out
safely, but there was no knowing
how many had done 50. The lowest
estimates of the number buried in
the wreckage was between 80 and so,
while many held that at least rs
were Imprisoned, either dead or alive.
Survivors said the crash came with
a rumble that resembled an earth
quake Merrymakers in the club had
been setting off firecrackers in the
early morning hours, and for a mo-
ment the dancers thought that giant
cracker had been exploded. They
were on the second floor of the build
ing, and in an instant the wall and
three floors above them came crash
ing down, crushing the dance floor to
the street and on to the basement.
Doctors Comb Ruins.
Firemen and doctors came by the
scores, and until dawn poked about
the ruins with flashlights. Internes
from the City Hospital crawled be-
meath the ruins wherever they could.

vivors in pain, but who could not be
released. A priest from ST. James
Church, just around the corner, gave
absolution to the victims who were
carried out.
Crowds of wreckers and riggers ar
rived soon after daybreak to aid the
firemen in clearing away the debris.
Little hope was held out, however, of
reaching the victims before nightfall,
and it was thought likely that the
work would continue through most of
tomorrow before all could be found.
The labor was considered extremely
precarious, as it was believed the front
and rear walls of the building might
fall at any time and thus delay for
a much longer period the end Of the
search.
The three upper floors were unoc-
cupied.

is believed to be dying as the result
of a, fire in a three-story apartment

Chateaugeay.
Kenneth Monakey, 12-year-old son of

Victims on Third Floor.
All the victims were on the third
floor of the building, where the fire
started. Eleven persons on the first
and second floors were rescued.
The cause of the fire is unde-
termined.
Starting at am, it had gained
such headway when the firemen ar
rived from their station, only two
doors away, that they were unable to
rescue any of the persons on the upper
story
The position of the bodies indicated
that most of the victims had died in
their sleep. Martin got as far as the
window and was hanging over the
edge. but firemen were unable to res
cue him owing to the intense heat.
Efforts were being made to learn

HOTEL GUESTS FLEE
.LEONARDTOWN FIRE
Attorney Gordon and Family
Among Those Driven Out
by $4,000 Blaze.

Fire of unknown origin, which
drove United States District Attorney
Gordon, his wife and daughter and
p other guests from their rooms in
the St. Mary's Hotel at Leonard
town, Md, at II o'clock last night
caused damage estimated at $4,000 be
fore volunteer f1remen could ex-
tinguish the flames
Recent completion of new water
system at the resort town and pro-
vision of hose lines enabled the vol
unteers to save the building from de-
struction and prevent it's spread to
other buildings.
Guests Get Timely Warning.
All the guests of the hotel were
warned in time to fee from the build
ing before the flames spread to a
dangerous extent. No one was re-
ported injured.
While alarms were being sent to
Washington and Baltimore fire depart
ments with requests that fire engines
be sent poSthaste, a corps of Volun-
teers was organized by Inspector l.. A.
Radcliffe of the District fire marshall's
office, who was at Leonardtown at the
time on a visit. During the three
hours while the pumper engine from
No. 25 engine company here was
speeding to the fire, the volunteers
directed streams of water on the blaz-
ing three-story brick and frame build
ing and had practically eXtinguished
the flames when the engine arrived.
Maj Gordon and his party were
taking a week end rest at the resort,
having left Washington yesterday
afternoon with thousands of others
who deserted the Capital for oyer-the-
Fourth celebration.
Albert Lomax. proprietor of the
hotel said an investigation failed to
disclose the cause of the fire. He
expressed doubt that it was caused
by lighted fire crackers thrown
through an open window by Fourth
of July celebrators. The blaze started
in the servants quarters at the rear,
he believes.
