the workings of the Ku Klux Khan,
by special grand jury, ended
late today with .lO2 indictments
against men. charged with COM
plicity in 20 or more lashings in

WEDDING BREAKFAST
EATEN IN AIRPLANE

LONDON H9-One of the first we'd
ding breakfasts ever eaten in the air
was consumed some thousands of feet
above the English channel. When
two honeymooners, Mary Leasing OF
London and young American, Car
los Stuart of New Orleans, were
married at ST. Mary-le-Strand they
went straight to Croydon aerodrome
where a special machine was awaiting
them.
In the cabin was table set for
two. A waiter lowered discreetly
near. The love repast consisted OF
oysters, an iced soup, a chicken
souffle, and peaches, praised in
brandy; old wines to accompany.
With the oysters the pair got we'll

Consumption of Beer
Reduced in Germany

BERLIN (P)-Athletics, the "dry"
m owe m emit and economic necessity
have reduced the consumption OF
beer in Germany by one-fourth as
compared with 1913, according to fig
ures compiled by the federal sta
tistica1 bureau.
Before the war, the average con-
sumption of beer per year per person
was q gallons AS this average fig
ure includes children and the very
aged, it is safe to say that the aver
age consumption of the beer-consunn-
ing German was at least so gallons
Today, the average consumption is
only 20 gallons per head per year.
Only half of one per cent of this
is imported beer, such as Pilsen, por-
ter and ale. The SO IL per cent is
manufactured right in Germany.

them he said, one more traitor is out
of the way and I am responsible.
Tsena Bey had been in Prague about
al fortnight and was to have presented
his credentials to President Masaryl1
within a few days. He was 38 years
old and the son of Ria Bey DuakoYa,
one of the richest Albanians in the
Anselseld region of Jugo-Slavia His
father was once adjutant ito Abdul
Hamid and by strange turn OF fate
also died at the hands of an assassin.
The motive for this crime never was
explained.
The late minister was a Mohamnle-
dan and is said to have married into
the family of Ahmed Zogu, present
head of Albania, who appointed him
to. represent Albania both in Jugo-
Slavia and Czecho-S lovakia with it's
headquarters at Prague. Tsena Bey
took part in the rebellion in which
Bishop Fan S. Noli was ousted from
the presidency. At that time he was
minister of interior and commander
in chief of all the Albanian troops.
There is difference of opinion in
respect to Tsena Bey's political atti-
tlIde. Some say that he was friendly
to .Jngo-Slavia, while other declare
that he was identified with the inner
Macedonian revolutionary organization
which was held responsible for the
death of General Kovachevitch.

French Automobiles
Use American Ideas

PARIS (P-Six-c cylinder cars, some
price reductions and a number OF
American. improvements will be the
features of the French automobile
salon this fall. France always has
felt herself to be the pioneer in auto
mobile invention and practice but she
has had to follow America in many
things since the war, such as the
closed body, self starting, better light
ing, spring design and accessories
such as the windshield wiper, battery
ignition, window opener devices and
the general adoption of the electric
horn.
Six-cylinder cars have long been
general in large, expensive cars, but
this year the low-priced, quantity
production makers are falling into
line. A year from now a majority
Of the cars are expected by engineers
to follow suit, retaining, however,
what Americans consider small, light,
high-compression motors
Air, oil and gasoline purifiers are
among the American ideas that will
appear on many cars.
Prices that went up with a bump
during the money panic of 1925 have
been going down slowly, but the salon
is expected to bring a general lower
ing of figures and probably the elinli-
nation of some models, the wide
variety of which has always contrib
uted to the high cost of manufacture
here.

FRENCH EXPERTS TEST
NEW "SAFE" GASOLINE

PARIS P)-"Gasoline" that won't
burn-called Makhonine after it's in
ventor-is asserted to have proved it's
value in many tests by government
engineers, but there still is fight
in parliament on the supposition that
the new fuels trial results are being
suppressed.
Many aviators in France, as else
where, die, burned to death by gaso-
line flames. 1t is claimed for the
mon exploSive" fuel that such acct
dents will be entirely eliminated. 1t
is affirmed, also, by its supporters
that Makhonine is an efficient de-
pendable fuel, capable of replacing
gasoline in airplanes. 1t has for
some time been used by the French
line on it's small harbor boats and
in all its trucks and automobiles with
what are said to be very satisfactory
results.

revisions will make their arguments.
Whatever bill is framed will be with
out the political Importance of prev
iouS measures because admittedly
there can be little if any further re-
duction in the taxes of the great mass
of the public, which was benefited
materially in each measure passed
since the World war,
AS the situation is shaping up now,
the principal fights will revolve around
the corporation income, the estate or
inheritance, and the remaining war
time nuisance and miscellaneous taxes.
The regular income levies. will come
in for their share of attention, how
ever, with proposals for complete
exemption of all incomes below $4,000
and a reduction in the surtax rates
affecting incomes between $4,000 and
100000.
Despite the views of some govern
ment tax experts that period Of
prosperity is not the time for reducing
the tax on corporations, leaders of both
parties in congress lean towards a
substantial lowering of the corpora
ton tax, which has received little at
tention in the enactment of the last
two revenue meaSurse Reductions in
the present 1872 per cent rates, rang
ing from per cent to 213 per cent,
have been suggested.
AS for nuisance taxes, there seems
to be fairly general opinion in con-
gress that the levies on theatre ad :
missions, perhaps club dues, the vari-
GUS stamp taxes on negotiable instru-
nlents and business papers should
come off. sfj ,f @
There promises to be a real fight
however, on the proposal to repeal the
: automobile passenger car levy, which
was reduced in the last bill from 5 to 3
per cent. Some leaders favor. abolition
of this tax but number OF, high
administration officials insist upon its
rention in some form, although they
are not unalterably opposed to a fur
tl1er reduction in the rate. N
There will be renewed drive for
repeal of the inheritance tax and on
this issue paryt lines are expected to
fade away as they did two years ago
when Independents of both parties. OPP
posed the demands of republican and
democratic conservatives for abolition
of this tax.

BERLIN SEES OPERATIONS
OF GREATEST AUDACITY

BERLIN Demonstration of a
number Of surgical operations of the
greatest audacity and significance
marked meeting of the Berlin Medi-
cal society.
Professor Friedrich Bruening of the
university hospital presented a man
who had been suffering from chronic
atrophy of the large intestine which,
with exceptional daring, the surgeon
had removed in it's entirety.
A surgical cure of certain cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis was demon
strated by Professor Duenner, visiting
surgeon to the Moabit hospital. Pro-
fessor Duenner described how, accord
ing to the method advocated by
Stuertz of Cologne, he had drawn up
the 10th, or vagus nerve behind the
collar bone, Whereupon a paralysis OF
that portion of the diaphragm sup
piled by this nerve resulted which.
then led to a contraction of the
lungs upwards and an ultimate cica-
irritation of the diseased lung tissue.
Two successful operations for the
removal of emboli, or blood clots,
from the pulmonary vein were dem
onstrated by Professor a. w. Meyer,
visiting surgeon to the West-end hos
ypital. The operation, which was per-
formed on woman on the point of
death and which was unanimously
acclaimed by the society as one of
the greatest accomplishments in mod
ern surgery, consisted in the opening
of the chest cavity by the excision of
several ribs. The pulmonary vein
was then caught and incised and,
after the removal of the blood clot
with forceps, sutured.

NEW PHONE RECORDS
TALK THROUGH NECK

LONDON tR)-The Man Who Talks
Through His Hat should come to see
the exhibition at Olympia. For here
ne would see The Man Who Talks
Through His Neck.
On display at the exhibition is the
latest invention-a telephone for use
in noise-filled rooms. The speaker
fixes the microphone not in front OF
his mouth, but as tightly as possible
to his neck. Sound is produced by
mechanical and not air waves.
The words that come from the
speakers mouth are drowned by the
noise in the room, but the invention
catches the metallic vibrations in the
throat, and the sounds and words
are conveyed to the person at the
other end of the line. The result is
that although there might be so
much noise in the room that per-
son two feet away could not hear the
man speaking, a listener 200 miles
away could.
