demning the explosions. Shouts
arose, then booes. Students began
firing pistols, apparently loaded
with blank cartridges, at the historic
chapel ceiling
Proudfoot pleaded for silence.

KANSAS CITY, March 25.-A
blazing meteor which apparently
burst into fragments as it neared
the earth turned semi darkness into
daylight early Friday over the Texas
Panhandle, northern New Mexico,
and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma
and Arizona.
Traascontinental and Western
air pilots traced the trail of fire
from Winslow, Ariz. to Albuquerque,
N. M, and north to Amarillo, Tex.
Many plainsmen we're aroused by
the glare.
Pilot William Coyle, who flew here
Friday from the west, viewed the
phenomenon from his plane, nearly
two miles above ground.
Il was cruising at $500 feet ele-
vation," Coyle said on his arrival in
Kansas City, when I first saw the
meteor. AT first I thought it was
flare, but as it gradually came
closer knew it was a meteor.
Il tried my radio. 1t was para
lyzed by interference. The ball of
flame grew nearer, travelling west
to east, almost horizontally, and at
about the same elevation as my ship.
The light was intense, temporar-
lily binding me, although it was
forty or fifty miles north.
ct looked big as a hangar-al-
though that may be exaggeration,
and a tail of debris extended 10 to
100 miles behind, like you see in a
picture of comet.
The center was more intensely
red, fading to lighter co1ors that
burned brilliantly blue around the
edges"
While Coyle was watching it, the
meteor appeared to crash to earth
in burst of flame that could be
seen for miles, he said.
Coyle estimated the meteor fell

BIBLE MIRACLES
WORRY SENATE
ON BEER ISSUE
But Drys Are Even More
Bothered, 1t Comes Out
at Hearing.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 25. -
Biblical miracles and the compare
tive merits of drinking beer inside
or at tables outside a legitimate res
taurant perpleX senators as they
seek to devise model beer bill for
the District of Columbia.
At issue, also, are disputes closer
to the capitol - whether, for in
stance, 80 per cent beer shall be
sold in the house and senate res
taurants. The house has voted not
to prevent such sale, but the, SEN
ate still must decide.
Hotels and restaurants are dis
turbed over proposals that barbecue
stands be permitted to dispense
legal brews.
The capital beer bill passed the
house March %. After senate sub
committee hearings Friday, Chair
man Willard Tydings said he hoped
to report a bill to the senate next
Wednesday.
The bill is intended to serve as
a model for other communities. AS
it passed the house, it forbade sale
of the legalized 80 per cent beer,
wine and fruit juice to persons I'M
der 18.
Prohibitionists Complain
Licenses could be issued for con-
sumption at hotels, restaurants and
clubs. Other places could sell beer
for consumption on the premises
Annual license fees would be $500
and $25, respectively. The local tax
would be $1.20 a barrel, in addition
to the SIS levied by the federal gov
eminent on each thirty gallon
container.
Prohibitionists bitterly COM
planned to the subcommittee against
relaxing the Volstead act. Mrs.
Henry w. Peabody, long a dry
worker, condemned congress for in
directly ignoring" the Constitution
in voting to legalize beer. She said
enforcement conditions in the cap
ital we're disgraceful.
Mrs. w. H. Waleigh, associated
with Mrs. Peabody warned the
subcommittee that this lis the cru
cifixion of the prohibition law"
Right Is Right"
"But God is God, and right is
right" she exclaimed.
Are you speaking of the man
who provided wine at the feast Of
Canay?" inquired Tydings, referring
to the scene of Christs first miracle.
Il am speaking of the Savior of
mankind" Mrs. Wadleigh replied,
sharply.
1T is the same man." Tydings
said.
"You have nothing in the Bible
to prove that that wine was in
toXicating,' she said, angrily.
And you have nothing to prove
that it was not" retorted the chair
man, before turning again to the
more immediate problems of harbe-
cue stands, sidewalk beer tables and
the age at which the youth of
Washington shall be permitted to
test their resistance to 80 per cent
beverages.

and held the distinction of being the
only place in the state where such
price prevailed.
The barber shop there, operated
by Louis Reibold, charged IS cents
for a shave, while other shops were
content with a dime.
Kept Hotel Exclusive
The de luxe prices were part of
plan to keep the Bates House
exclusive, frequented only by the
upper crust" With numerous
saloons in the vicinity where a
foaming schooner could be pur-
chased for a "jitney," the Bates
house had no trouble in controll-
ing its crowds, according to
Weathers.
Weathers recalls an incident
which occurred in the Crystal Pal
ace, a popular bar on West Wash
ington street near Illinois street.
There was a politician who per-
sistently wore a high hat of the
style known as a plug hat Since
it was not usual around Indian
apolis, he was distinguished easily
in a crowd" relates Weathers.
"One day in the Crystal Palace
he ordered a round of drinks for
every one present, The bartender
noticed only that the top hat
wearer was the purchaser. A few
minutes later the politician traded
hats with a friend and remained
at the bar, while the friend de-
parted.
One on the Bartender
I when the time came to settle
the bill. a puzzled expression came
over the barCenders face. Pounding
the bar, he shouted:
Where the blankety- blarIk is
the guy who bought these drinks?'
THE politician was not recog-
nized, as he stood a few feet from
the bartender"
Old timers also like to tell the
story of the jokeSter with a party Of
friends who asked if the bartender
knew how to make a "tin-roof cock
tail" Nothing daunted, the bar
tender fixed a connection, which he
placed before the party.
After the drinks cNere gone, all
started to leave, but we're stopped
by a rqueSt for payment.

turn of the saloon, but not the kind
that brought about prohibition, .
Stair asserted. "A high grade bar,
operated under government license
and with strict regulation, is Ger
tainly to be preferred to the pres
tent-day speakeasy.
Nobody wants the dirty, dark,
politically controlled saloon to re-
turn, but there is no objection to a
place of business operated by a
business man with a high regard for
law and order, who is offering for
sale what people want to buy"
Neither does Stair see cause for
criticism of the alcoholic content of
the beer which will be available
after midnight April 6. It's alcoholic
content of 80 is close enough to the
brew of former times, he says.
Most of the beer 1 handled
ranged from 3.75 to per cent alco-
hol," Stair says. 1T was claimed
sometimes that the alcoholic con-
tent was greater, but 1 always
doubted it,"
But Stair declared that one thing
will be missing from his bar, if ne
obtains a license and serves beer
again.
There will be no free lunch.
No Lunch Counter
Cant afford it." Stair stated.
The margin of profit on barreled
beer was large enough to permit the
free lunch, but it can't be done with
bottled goods
Across the street from Stairs
place one may find Lafe Weathers,
now manager of the Edwards hotel,
but for many years manager of the
Claypool bar.

Although most of the famed In
dianapolis barrooms have disap-
peared and their places have been
taken by drug stores, shops, and
other less colorful enterprises, there
probably will be at least a few
places where the old timers may
feel themselves transported back to
the scenes of fifteen years ago.
Plans already are under way to
resume the sale of beer and light
wines in these places as soon as the
machinery of state beer control is
perfected.
One which often has been re-
called, When the days of the past
have been discussed, is Joe Stairs

In Business 30 Years
For thirty years Stair has been
in business at this location and

when the bar first opened for bust
ness.
Nothing much will be done at
Stairs to recapture the atmosphere
of the early 19O0s, now that beer can
be sold.
For many years one of the city's
popular bars, the walls of the room
are covered with pictures of sports
men and sports events of the by
gone period
Prominently displayed are auto
graphed photos of Jack Dillon, the
Hoosier Bearcat; Chuck Virgins
and Bud Taylor, Terre Haute's lead
ing contributions to fistic history.
But Stair himself is not so sure
of the public'S reaction to bottled
beer, the only kind allowed under
Indianas control provisions.

ut seems to me that people will
miss draught beer" Stair says. "Ev-
every one wants a 5 or 10-cent drink
and I don't believe bottled beer can
be sold at that price.
"A price of Is cents bottle prob
ably will be necessary, although I
understand that some breweries will
have a siX-ounce bottle that can be
sold for S cents"
1t is not only for his own business
that Stair is glad for the return of
beer. In his opinion, which also is
expressed by others intimately &C
quainted with the old days, drink
ing should be done in the open.
