H. Ingbert, chief of the fire-resistance

Of the smokers will toss aside a stub

long cigarette is seldom discarded ex-

Laboratory experiments showed that
cigarettes, taking into consideration to-
tai national consumption, had 40-to-1
fire hazard as compared to cigars.
The scientists, therefore, concentrat-
ed on the last inch of the cigarette, ex-
perimenting in a thousand ignition
tests on dried grass pads, electrically
famed, with lighted cigarettes treated
with asbestos paper, boric acid solutions
and water glass. The best results
were obtained from the water glass.
Two thousand matches. including all
varieties in common use, were ignited in
the tests. 1t was learned that five Sec

for lighting cigarettes, 10 seconds for

MILLS FIELD, SAN FRANCISCO,
August 16.-The transcontinental non
stop refueling plane Spokane Sun God,
after making two contacts with a re-
fueling ship here, headed eastward
shortly before 1880 am. today, presum-
ably on for Cheyenne. Field attendants
said, however, that the endurance flyers
had not received all the gasoline they
had wanted and might return for
third refueling.
Nick Manner and Art Walker, pilots
of the endurance craft, requested $50
gallons of fuel when they appeared over
Mills Field shortly after daylight. In
the two contacts made the plane re-
ceived about $50 gallons of gasoline.
On completing the second contact, how
ever, the Spokane Sun God headed east
and ground workers presumed that
Manner had decided to move on with
the fuel he had.
Another indication that the plane had
started for Cheyenne was note drop
ped by Manner congratulating the re-
fueling crew.
The endurance flyers. who took off
at 5:58 pm. yesterday at Spokane. plan
to fly across the continent and return
to Spokane without touching terra f1rma:
The plane arrived over Mills Field
at 5:25 am. today.
The flyers made it known that they
had arrived over San Francisco about
am. but that haze had kept them
at a high altitude until daylight, when
they came down far enough to be
sighted.

A self-extinguishing cigarette and a
fireproof match now are on the horizon
Of science.
At the request of Representative
Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts,,
scientists at the Bureau of Standards,
in a six-month test of nine popular
brands, have evolved safety cigar
ette." Its fre-protection factor lies in
an inch-long cork tip, lined with water
glass-air-excluding sodium silicate.
Their interest increasing>as the work
progressed, the scientists also have de-
veloped a freproof match, coated with
waterglass within a half-inch of its
head.
Tossed aside as fag-end, the self
extinguishing cigarette was found in
tests to go out quickly enough to re-
duce the fire hazard some 80 per cent
as compared with the untreated cigar
cite. Possibilities of accidental fires
were reduced approximately one-third
by the fireproofing matches.
An annual fire loss Of approximately
100000 900 from carelessness of sn1ok-
ers prompted Representative Rogers to
ask scientific aid. P. D. Sale and F.

ClOudburst Bares
Rich Veins of Gold

LAKE CITY, Colo, August 16.-Thc
dark cloud that brought cloudburst
into this vicinity few weeks ago has
had a golden lining, and miniature
gold rush is on.
The cloudburst sent streams of water
coursing down hillsides over land known
to be rich in gold and silver ores. In
many places earth which covered veins
of metal was washed away.
A landslide on one hill almost COM
pletely uncovered the vein of an al
ready worked mine and made it no
longer necessary for the owners to
work underground to reach their gold.
Scores of prospectors have come into
the district. Many of them remember
back % years, when the Lynd brothers
found nearly a carload of gold and sill
yer ore, which netted them S6,000,000
lying on the surface after cloudburst.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, August
16.-Last-minute efforts to reach an
agreement on the financial question and
plans looking toward evacuation of the
Rhineland were in progress today at
The Hague.
Premier BRAND of France called on
Foreign Minister Stresemann of Ger
many and again talked about evacua-
ton of the Rhineland, while Emile
Francqui, Belgian delegate, called on
Philip Snowden. British chancellor of
the exchequer. with a formal PROPOSE
ton from the other creditor powers.
1t is understood that Great Britain
was offered go per cent of it's claims of
about 30,0oo,0oO marks year (about
$7,50O,00O) to be included in the un-
conditional annuities.
Out by November.
Premier BRAND told Foreign Minister
Stresemann that the second zone of the
occupation of the Rhineland, the CO.
blenz bridgehead. will be evacuated by
the middle of November.
AS OF the third zone at Mainz ex-
pertS are still at work studying the de-
tails.
The situation in the financial COM
mittee also was discussed by the two
ministers.
When M. Francqui made his proposal
to Chancellor Snowden he also made a
detailed reply of the creditor nations
to the chancellor's argument, in the
course of which Francqui declared that
the British interests had been far bet
ter cared for in the reparations settle
ments than the chancellor had ad-
mitted.
Meeting Futile.
The four countries in whose behalf
Francqui spoke were France, Italy, Bel
GUM and Japan. Before today's meet
ing the British chancellor had declared
that offers previously made were to-
tally inadequate, and that unless the
other creditors found a way of salts
flying the British demands fully it was
futile for the financial committee to
meet tomorrow.
The French delegation has made it
clear that it has gone to the limit of
possibilities seeking to make up sum
to satisfy the British while the Italians
have remained firm in resisting the
British position. These circumstances

Attorneys Will Make Charge in
Arguments on Motion for
New Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 16.-A
charge that one or more of the jurors
who sentenced DR.. James H. Shook to
death by finding him guilty of the
murder of his coed paramour, Theora
HiX, was "unduly influenced" will be
made when arguments are heard on
Monday on motions for new trial, his
attorneys said today.
Some Of the jurors had decided
against the 49-year-old defendant be-
fore they retired for their deliberations,
E. S. Ricketts,, one of Snook's attorneys,
declared. The jury found him guilty
on the first ballot, without recon-
mendation of mercy. The verdict was
read % minutes after the trial ended.
Other arguments for new trial will
be that the jury was prejudiced,. and
the allegation that an outburst OF ap-
plause which followed the final argu-
ment of County Prosecutor John J:
Chester, jr., was planned. Shook will
be removed to murderers' row in the
State Penitentiary next week if Trial
Judge Henry l.. Scarlet gives an ad-
verse ruling on motion. He exhibited
the same calm demeanor today which
characterized him during the trial.

SUGAR INCREASE
IS D|SAPPROVED
House Tariff Proposal Fails
at First Vote Before
Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The proposed increased sugar duty
carried in the House tariff bill was dis
approved today by the Senate finance
committee Republicans.
The committeeman did not determine
upon new rate, but were expected to
do so before the day was over.
Only one vote was taken, it was an
nounced, and this on motion to adopt
the House rate.
The vote was not made public.
The House bill increases the existing
tariff of 1.76 cents a pound ON Cuban
raw sugar to 2.40 cents and the duty
against other countries from 2.20 to 3
cents.
There were conflicting reports after
the morning session over what action
would be taken on the sugar rates. One
report was that the Cuban sugar rate
would be reduced to either 2.20, the
present world rate or an even 2 cents,
and another was that the House in
crease would be wiped out altogether.
Chairman Smoot declared that he and
his colleagues hoped to finish rewrit-
ing the entire bill with respect to rates
today and to begin consideration of a
score or more of amendments, includ-
ing the debenture and stock transac-
tionS tax proposals, which Senators
have announced they would offer when
the bill reaches the floor.

BERLIN, August 16 pa Mos
cow dispatch to the Berlin news
paper Vorwaerts this afternoon
said the Graf Zeppelin had crossed
the Ural Mountains from Europe
into Asia, passing over the town of
Nadezhdinsky, about $50 miles
northeast of Perm.
BY the Associated Press
More than 36 hours out of Fried
rlchshafen, the world-girdling
Graf Zeppelin was speeding today
over Siberia, apparently on a some
what northerly course in an effor.
to avoid unfavorable winds.
The huge airliner, with its 20
passengers, was reported north of
Perm, near the Urals, at z am.
Eastern standard time, when she
radloed FriedrichShafen that all
was well on board.
She was headed in a northeast
erly direction, crossing the North
ern Urals into Siberia rather than
across the middle region, which
had been planned.
The Zeppelin was making excellent
time. When north of Perm she had
covered approximately 2,1Oo miles of
her 7,o0c-mile journey, an average Of
slightly more than so miles an hour.
Reports of the air liner, so frequent
yesterday during her passage over Eu-
rope. became meager today. AS the ship
steadily drew nearer the vast tundras,
or Siberian plains lying south of the
Arctic Circle, it was expected that only
occasional wireless reports would be
picked up and that reports of actual
sightings would become infrequent.
Berlin newspapers reported that the
Graf was already in contact with the
Irkutsk, Siberia, wireless station and
was receiving Siberian weather reports.
