Prominent Member From Ranks
 of the Laborites-Tense Moment
 Passes Quickly.
 London, June 80 Pl-A sensation was caused in the house of commons this afternoon when George Buchan- an, l1borite who professes repubIi- canism, avowcd he had mo respect and nothing but contempt for roy alty."
 It was tense moment, and there were loud protests from the conser- vatives, but the thrust at the king vas quickly passed over, partly be- cause there are probably few in the commons wlo care to have such a subject discusscl and partly because under the house rules the kings name must not be brought into de- bate.
 Buchanans outburst followed the reading by the speaker of a message from the king continuing the state of emergency owing to the coal strike. Buchanan claimed the right 10 chall-nge whether the king should send such message to the house.
 Nothing But Contempt
 The speaker reminded the labor ite member that the kings name could not be used in debate. Mir. Buchar->n accepted the speakers ruling but made the remark that he mad no respect and nothing but contempt for royalty"
 It was Buchanan who on May while the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York were in the gallery, ayowed that he was a republican and would Hike to see the British throne abolished tomorrow"
 He made tho declaration In good-natured tone, and nothing more happened.
 George Buchanan has been labor member for the Gorbals division of Glasgow since 1922. He is vice chairmal of the Glasgow trades council and was for three years member of the executive committee Of the United Patternmakers asso- citation. He is 45 years old.

Truck Strikes Auto.

Watertown. Mass, June 80 tP- Four persons were injured. three seriously, when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by speeding fire truck on it's way to a blaze at the Warren Brothers soap factory here last night.
 Mir. and Mrs. James H. Vahey Of Dorchester, and Miss Annie Maher had skulls fractured and suffered possible internal injuries. Miss Etta Y. Fahey. a sister of Mir. Vahey escaped with minor hurst. Vahey. who is an official of the Boston Edi- son Lighting Company, was the own CT and driver Of the car.
 Doctors Wives Aid.
 The injured were brought into two physicians offices. Neither doctor was at home but the physi- clans wives, former trained nurses. gave first aid and summoned ambu- lances. At he Cambridge hospital the names of the three most serious ly injured were placed on the danger list.
 Help was called from four outside cities to subdue the fire which de- stroyed the soap factory and several times threatened destruction of the big carbarns of the Boston Elevated and the local plant of the Boston Consolidated as Company. The fire was controlled before midnight, but no estimate of the damage was ob- tainable.
 Sparks Carried Far.
 Strong winds carried embers across the Charles river, starting several roof fires half mile from the blaze, while the flames several times licked into the carbarns before they were extinguished. Bremen from Waltham, Newton, Belmont and Cambridge aided the local depart ment The men were frequently im- periled by hot air and chemical ex- plosions and further were handicap- ped in their work by a mob of spec tators estimated by the police at oo,oOO which damned Watertown square to watch the blaze.
 Police reserves struggled for hours after the fire was controlled untan- gling traffic jams which resulted on several river boulevards leading into the square.

RUM-CAR SEIZURES
IN SUPREME COURT
Confiscation of Autos Used
to Carry Liquor Again
Being Argued.

Bootlegging engaged the attention
of the Supreme Court yesterday, the
Government insisting upon it's right
to confiscate. under old taxing laws,
automobiles seized while being used
in the illegal transportation of liquor.
So perplexed was the court after
the question had been aroused at the
last term, that it ordered reargument
of the issue which came up in two
cases-one from Alabama, where the
Government lost, and the other from
the State of Washington, where the
Circuit Court of Appeals asked for
instructions. The question among
other things involves automobiles be-
ing sold on the installment plan.
The Government contends the tax
upon manufacture of liquor by the
revised statutes, in effect long before
national prohibition, applied to moon
shine whisky, and that automobiles
used in it's transportation We're auto
matically forfeited.
1t was argued on the other side
that a tax could not be imposed upon
something that was prohibited, being
intended exclusively for the raising
of revenue, and further that auto
mobiles seized in violation of the
prohibition law must be disposed of
under the terms of that law.
