ANTl.SALOON
BODY PILOTS
DO NOT Agree
League Reaches Crossroads
and Chiefs Hold Hot
Secret Debate.
SPECIAL PARLEY OPENS
Shall Prohibition Be Kept
Alive as Political Is
Sue?' Is Question.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WINONA LAKE, Ind, Aug. 15.-
Whether the Anti-Saloon League
continues to be an important factor
in this country will depend very
largely upon the decision finally
reached by its trustees, who are
here at a secret and specially
called meeting.
The trustees will decide whether
the league will go to the two ma
tional political conventions and ask
for an Endorsement of prohibition
or take the attitude that prohibi-
ton is no longer a political question.
Wheeler Has No Vote
The death of the wife of Wayne
B. Wheeler Sunday may postpone
the decision. Although Wheeler has
no vote and is not a trustee. 1t is
an open secret that Wheeler believes
that the league should take stand
that prohibition in this country is
no longer a political question and
should devote its further activities
to enforcement.
That road, fear the trustees who
view with a great deal of envy the
activities of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union and Prohibition
party, leads to the death of the
league itself.
Depend on Propaganda
The leagu, they argue, depends
depends upon continuous propagan-
da and would soon die If it were ad-
mitted that the question is settled
politically. The life Of the league
in their view, rests upon ability te
impress its followers and contribu-
tors with the necessity OF continuous
warfare against alcohol. II it were
admitted that prohibition is not ir
politics they see the end of the
league as a forceful body.
They insist that prohibition 1,
still political question in this coun-
try.
This is dangerous admission ir
view Of the followers of Wheeler
who say that the Constitution IL
never is in politics. Those who
want to send delegations to the
national conventions to demand res.
olutions of Endorsement, say that M
matter what the league does or doe.
not do, the people will make the
question an issue in 1923.
Question Inevitable
They say that the others arr
blind to facts and that the question
is sure to be before the voters, 4
not in the form of party planks
then in the personalities of candi
dates. They want planks in botl
party pratforms.
The call for the meeting here o
trustees is unusual in the histor,
Of the league. Ordinarily the trus'
tees meet only every two years anc
we're not scheduled to meet unit
December at Washington.

The monoplane Europa, sis
ter ship of the Bremen, was
forced down at the city of
Bremen last night.
Fog and wind defeated the
Bremen. Pilot August Loose told
the United Press that he had
reached the Irish coast when he de-
cided it expedient to return.
Loose was at the controls during
all of the flight OF 1875 miles,
Fogs "Smelled" Bad
"After smelling the fogs of the
Atlantic" he said, 1--WE decided not
to risk the airplane in a fight
against adverse winds. We turned
her nose toward home"
81 am more convinced than ever, "
Loose said, that a Junkers airplane
would be able to cross the Atlantic,
westward. We are determined to
renew our attempt as soon as the
weather is favorable"
Took Northern Course
Almost Immediately after the
start. Loose said, the Bremen en-
countered thunderstorms. He took
a northerly course over the North
Sea near the Island of Borkum.
eve steered northwest over Eng
land and Ireland. The fog made it
impossible for us to obtain correct
bearings. When we turned back
we were 100 kilometers (apporxi-
mately 81 n1iles) off the west coast
of Ireland and over the north At
lantic ocean. Ireland was complete
ly hidden by fog"
The Bremen was not damaged in
the landing here.
Junkers Not Angry
Sheltered from heavy rain by
the wings of the Bremen, the four
pilots of the Bremen and the
Europa, the latter having returned
from the city of Bremen in another
plane. neS today after their trans
Atlantic project had failed.
Professor Junkers and other Of
ficials of the Junkers company
Joined them there. The pilots,
Loose and Herman Koehl of the
Bremen and Johann Risticz and
Cornelius Edzard of the Europa,
were downcast, but Professor junk
ers congratulated his f1iers.
IT am glad the pilots of both
planes considered the horrible
weather and decided not to risk
their valuable lives" Professor
Junkers said.
Discuss Another Attempt
A conference will be held soon
after the pilots have rested to de-
termine if and when another at
tempt shall be made. Junkers Off
cials thought the flight would be
attempted as soon as the weather
would permit.
Like the Europa, the Bremen ex-
perienced difficulty with its motor
The pilot had trouble in throttline
the motor and this was believed to
have been due to the great weight
of the loaded machines.
The Junkers engineers were In

A city tax rate increase of 1876
cents for next year was approved
today by Mayor Duvall upon recon-
mendation of City Controller Will
liam G. Buser. and will go to the
council for consideration tonight.
A levy Of $1195, which would raise
about $7,803,35o by taxation upon
an estimated property valuation of
$653.oo0,0o0. is provided in the
budget.
81 have to laugh" Boynton ].
Moore, majority faction council
leader, said when informed of the
rate proposal. THAT sounds funny
to me. 1t won't hurt any one to
want. They will get what we want
to give them, as far as I am con-
cerped.
II sincerely believe that Mr.. Buser
has given these estimates very care
full consideration and has only ale
lowed appropriations where he
deems it absolutely necessary"
Mayor Duvall said in his letter rec
onmending coupcilmen adopt the
budget without changes.
Trim Safety Budget
Buser's recommendation provides
s4.927,675 for the general fund, as
compared to $4,20g519 given the
fund this year. He estimated gen.
eral receipts at 100000 which would
require a tax levy of $.675 for the
fund.
The safety departments estimate
was trimmed from $2,S81,9l5 to
$2,761 ,354 by the controller. The
board previously had refused to
prllne its original report when or
dered by Bucer. An increase of
$l69,099 over the 1927 figure is rec
commended.
The safety branch appropriation
includes funds for the police, fire
building, weights and measures, dog
pound, msrSet and gamewell de-
partments.
Want More Policemen
An increase Of $114,985 is asked
for the police department. to ado
twenty-one more patrolmen, a cap
tain and three humane officers. Rec
ommendation of $1,229, ,846 for this
department was made.
The fire departments request fol-
81 ,341 800 was cut to $1,326,580. The
1927 allowance was $23, ,488 less
Changes in the personnel, caused by
replacement of equipment, will de-
crease salaries $9,515. Increase fol
repairs, supplies, and additional
equipment will more than make ur
the difference, it was pointed out
Councilmen are asked to allow the
Gamewell department $1O8,18225
which is an increase Of $23,39 ovel
its present amount.
Building departments request foj
$47. $50 was raised to $49,760. This
is $1,000. more than 1927.
Mayor to Get More
The budget would give the board
of works $503.O3S.59 more than II
has for the present year. The
board asked, in a revised estimate
for $2,051 ,920.79. Recommendation
is for $1,SO7, 1889.
Civil engineer department was al
lowed $220,86O upon their request
for $290,668. This is $24,926. more
than the present fund.
A total of $13.500, an increase OF
$3,425, is asked for the mayors Of
fee. This would permit stenog-
rapher at 81 500 year, and the Sec
reary's appropriation would become
$500 instead of $4,000. Total sought
for this office is $1S,350.
Buser asks $236,528 for his office
This is an increase = $20.555
