 DEATH ID SCORES

NEUNKIRCHEN, Germany. Feb 13, A terrific gas tank explosion Saturday took a toll of ITO lives, injured at least 1000 and practi- cally demolished the town. The blast was heard 30 miles away.
 The explosion occurred at a ben zine plant and released 210,000 cu- bic meters of poisonous gas which claimed many of the lives.
 The scene following the cataS- trophy resembled a war wrecked town and considerable danger lurked for searchers and rescuing parties from toppling walls. Rail- road lines were disrupted and the town, for some hours, faced a food shortage.
 Thirty thousand haggared men and women, thrown out of work by the explosion, wandered in a daze Saturday over the countryside and in the shattered town. Most of them were garbed in torn and burned clothes.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13, II Alfred E. Smith, the Happy War rior," became a romantic hero yes terday in the eyes of four pretty but silly girls, when he stumbled into their arms; but not in the best accepted Don Juan style.

 There is a tiny crack alongside the glass in the board-room door, so the girls lined up and ~peeked through the crack
 Suddenly, without a sound, the door swung open and into the girls fell the man with the brown der by. He was after a drink.

pictures on Page 16)

Washington's beer bill was dis.
sected for the edification of more
than 100 persons, most Of them
drys, today when hearings opened
on the Black measure which would
permit sale of 80 beer in the Dis
trict.
Rufus S. Lusk, executive officer
of the Crusaders, who wrote the
bill introduced by Representative
Loring M. Black, jr., CD Of New
York, at the beginning Of the ses-
sion presented new draft which
contains features not included in
the original bill. Among these
are clauses giving the District
Commissioners power to issue IL
cenSes to places where beer is sold,
to make regulations governing the
sale, to revoke a license for cause
and reducing the tax per barrel
from $3.50 per barrel to $1.20.,
Enlivens Hearing
Representative Wright Patman
CD of Texas, who sought un-
successfully to send the bill to
the HoSse District Fiscal Affairs
Committee instead of to the Ju-
dietary subcommittee. which is
conducting the hearings, enliv-
ened testimony of Mr.. Lusk by Q
vigorous examination.
Patman inquired particularly as
to how much beer would be sold
for 5 cents, as to the advisability
Of inserting an anti-treating
clause and also suggested that
aliens and convicted bootleggerS
should be barred from obtaining
licenses to sell beer.
None of these points met with
the unequivocal approval of the
witness nor would he admit that
80 per cent beer was intoxicat-
ing. Lusk also vetoed sugges.
tions that clauses be written In :
prohibition sale to minors and
making Jail sentences mandatory
for violations.
Would Provide Work
Charles E. Sands, representing
the hotel and restaurant en-
ployes' alliance No. 7S1, told the
subcommittee that he believed the
bill would provide work for wait
ers and other employees of hotels
and restaurants but said he be.
lieVed tax Of $3.50 a barrel was
too steep.
DR.. F. w. Buck, of the Federal
Dispensary Tax Reduction League,
declared that too high a tax viii
defeat the purpose of the bill.
He said that a tax would be more
equitable than license and said
that a high license would en-
courage bootlegging and tend to-
create a monopoly.
Mrs. H. Wellen Fisher, 5000
block r St..N. w., made the first
statement for the opponents, az,
a representative of the Women's
Council Of the Washington FEEDER
