OXFORD, Eng, Sept, 27, P)- Bribery of prohibition agents in the United States is subject that never grows stale in British news papers. but Englishmen have be- come so accustomed to reading about it that it no longer startles them.
 Now, however, comes a member of the newly appointed British commission to investigate the liq- uor traffic and divulges the dis Quieting news that there is rela- tion between beer and bribery, even in England.
 There are brewery saleSmen, B. T. Hall of the commission told an audience here, who do not hesitate to bribe the refreshment commit tee of a workingmen's club.
 The club members want their beer. and they want good beer, and they leave it to the committee to buy good beer. Then enters an un- sarupulous brewery salesman and taorfully leaves a one pound note with the committee, confidently

WOMAN GAS VICTIM
FOUND BY HUSBAND
Coroner Issues Certificate of Acct
dental Death in Case
Of Mrs. Walls.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wallis, so years old,
was found dead in the kitchen of her
top floor apartment at 1897 Eighteenth
street this morning q victim of death
from gas. Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt
issued a certificate of accidental death.
According to DR.. hewitt, the lifeless
form of the woman was discovered by
her husband, Edward Wallis, when he
returned from work. A plan Of half
baked cakes, which the wife had started
to prepare for her husbands early
morning meal, were found in the oven.
one gas jet was turned on, but three
other Jets on the range were closed,
indicating, DR.. hewitt said, that the
death was accidental.
The woman is said to have suffered
from a chronic nasal affection and had
practically no sense of smell. Members
Of the fire rescue squad worked vainly
on the woman for some time, but all
efforts to revive her proved futile. She

CONFERS
WITH CLAUDEL
Secretary and French Envoy
Believed to Have Discussed
Naval Cut Invitation.

Conferences with the diplomatic
representatives in Washington of the
three naval powers which are to be in
vited to join with the United States and
Great Britain in a Seapower limitation
conference next January we're initiated
yesterday by Secretary Stimson.,
His first talk was with Paul Claudel
the French Ambassador, and it was in
dicated that there would be CONVERSE
tons later with the japanese and
Italian Ambassadors. Neither the Sec
rotary of State nor the French diplomat
would discuss the meeting. Since the
invitations to the conference are to be
issued by the British government, there
was speculation as to what the subject
matter had been.
Depend on Other Powers.
France, Japan and Italy have been
kept informed OF the Anglo-American
negotiations for limitation of their
cruiser, destroyer and submarine fleets.
Contamination of this agreement must
OF necessity depend upon the attitude
Of the other three powers.
While the Japanese government is
seeking an increase in its ratio with
respect to all classes of naval ships, as
compared to that of the United States
and Great Britain, the expectation gen.
orally is that its proposals will present
comparatively little difficulty for the
projected conference.
Unless the French government has
had a very extensive change of view
since the 1921 Arms Conference, it's pro-
posalS regarding submarines will present
a complex situation. At the Wash
ington conference the French demanded
at least 10000 tons of submarines, and
this led to an immediate publicity de-
clared conclusion of the British that
the purpose OF such a tonnage of under
water craft was commerce destroying
and that Great Britain must reserve the
right TO be unlimited in the construc-
ton OF anti-submarine weapons.
Solution Discussed.
Although Secretary Stimson, at the
request OF President Hoover, stated that
the Chief Executive had not given even
the slightest thought to the compost
ton of the American delegation to the
proposed conference, discussion of pos
Sible selections continued in unofficial
circles.
At the Capitol the opinion was ad-
vanced In some senatorial circles that
Mr.. Hoover might finally decide upon
Secretary Stimson as chairman of the
delegation, with Charles Evans Hughes
Senator Watson of Indiana, the Repub-
lican floor leader, and Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, the Democratic floor
leader, as the other three members.

CHICAGO, September 21.-Muddled
finances of Cook County and the City of
Chicago today threatened to cost 1000
county and 1850 city employees their
obs by January !.
John Richert of the council finance
committees staff, said the city's finan-
cial situation, unless remedied, will ne
cessitate a 80 per cent reduction in de-
partmental activities, including the
dismissal OF 1000 policemen, 500 fire-
men and other slashes just as drastic
in every department in the City Hall"
Anton j. Cermak, president of the
county board. which is still trying to
figure out how to make good pay roll
checks for the first half of September,
said 1000 employees must be discharged
at the end Of the month.
Both the county and city officials
blame their present shortage of funds
on the reassessment downward Of taxes.
No way had been found today to meet
the county pay roll which was due Sep
TENDER 16. The IS employees of Probate
Court, however, have received their pay.
Michael G. Robin, clerk of the court,
and Judge Henry Horner negotiated
personal loans at banks to meet the

well the authorities who permitted the
place to operate.
Departments which will be affected
in view CT the prosecutors statement
were the recreation department. which
granted the license for dancing; the
police department, which granted the
restaurant license; the building depart
ment, which approved a permit for re-
modelling of the place when it was open
ed last year, and the fire commission
which permitted the building to open
after its investigation was supposed to
have proved the place was safe.
Prosecutor Chenot said that Martin
Cohn, owner of the club, who is being
held pending the investigation, admitted
he recently had been ordered to install
fire escape to replace an old one,
which had been torn down. Laurence j.
Richwine, recreation department in
Spector, said that Cohn had been grant
ed permit year ago on the promise
that he would build the new fire escape.
Cohn also admitted, the prosecutor as
serted, there were no signs pointing TO
exits.
No date has been set for the inquest
into the deaths of the 10. Meanwhile,
two of the victims, one a man and the
other a woman, today remained I'M
identified. Sixteen of the 18, 10 men
and women, were trampled and suf-
located to death in the press of mad
humanity, which a moment before the
fire ate rapidly up stairway had been
gay crowd of dancers. The other two
died later in hospital. 1t is believed
that some of the 40 injured may die.
AS Inspector Garvin reconstructed
the scene from his investigation, the
fire started as only a small spark in
the draperies of a hallway, which was
the clubs public entrance. Excited, the
cloakroom girl opened the front door, he
said, and the flames shot up the stairs
in front of the draft from the open
door.
The waxed decorations of the dining
room went almost in flash. Instantly
some 200 men and women began a
maniacal rush from the room, choosing
an exit which led to the entertainers
| dressing room, womans rest room
and an iron-Sashed window and over
looking in their frenzy possible escape
through the kitchen, where there was
| stairway, untouched by the flames, to
| the first floor
In an almost inextrieable heap res
cuers found the dead and dying in the
! two rooms and at the window. Others
i literally had been pushed through the
| window.
Little damage to the building was
| done by the flames, presumably started
| by carelessly discarded cigarette stub.
Once the draperies and decorations had
| burned away the flames died out, and
| investigators considered it likely that
none would have persisted had they re-
NAMED calm in the dining room.

Fire Chief Threatens to Close Club as
Fire Hazard

CHICAGO, September 81 tP9.-One
of Chicago's most widely known night
clubs-Bert Kelly's Stables-today was
threatened with closing by Fire Chief
Patrick E. Egan as the result of De-
troit's tragic cabaret fire early yester-
day morning.
Egan described the Stables as a fire
hazard because of accumulated rubbish,
ginger ale manufacturing plant in the
basement and the fact, he said, that
the only means of escape is down a
three foot stairway
Chief Egan said that all other night
clubs, particularly those above the
ground floor, would be Investigated and
would be closed unless alterations Or
dered by the Fire Department were
made. He said he expected a fight,
since most of the alterations would be
costly, and indicated he would go to

We were flying In the endurance ship
about 500 feet up and were passing right
over the flight headquarters, near the
Administration Building, when, all of a
sudden, the hose gave a whip and
dashed itself around the tail end of the

The snap Of that hose was like the
smash Of a pile driver or the jerk of

out of the hatch, I was getting ready
to jump, when Nope brought the en-

guy line Of the hose parted and about
80 feet OF the rope tangled in the tail
assembly.
The sledgehammer end Of the re-
fueling hose smashed the vertical sta

assembly loose from its mornings.
The brace wires were loosened, the
tuplng oent ana twisted, a great, jag

the tail end Of the fuselage.
When the guy line parted, the refuel-

jerked clear.
We couldn't control the ship. It

The game was up. Though we had
