BRIG. GEN. E. M. MAITLAND,
NOTED AIR EXPERT, KILLED
Breaking of Girder, Not
Explosion, Caused Disaster
Ilowrten, Eng., Aug. 25.-(By a.
P )The cause of the disaster to
the ZR-2. according to the best In
formation obtainable here, the base
jf the destroyed dirHble. was the
breaking of a longitudinal girder
amldship, made of an aluminum
alloy, cutting the airship In halve.
An explosion of cither hvdrocen
or petrol occurred Immediately aftor
the girder gave way, and llames
burst through the structure, but the
explosion, It Is declared, wna not
the cause of the breaking up of the
airship.
The breale occurred in the part
of the alidilp where a girder was
strained when she was first brought
to Howden. The girder had been
reinforced, however, and the ship
found to be perfectly airworthy, It
was said. None of the authorities
here would venture uny opinion ere
garding the cause of the brcuk.

No Chanco to Escape
All hope thut there iiiigat bo other

'llered, would hao little chance to es

ab the welcht of the engines and ma
chinery quickly carried the ruined

here were at a loss to account for this

Treasury Sees No Advantage in
Issuing Rules Before Final
Congress Action
NO PRESSURE BY BREWERS
By lite Asscclntod Press
Washington. Aue. 2.". Decision to
withhold isnnnce of medical I'ec- reg
ulations pending congressional action
on the nrnpo-ed nntl-heer 'egislntion
was reached todnv by Secretnrv Mellon
in conference with Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blnlr.
The derision wn-i mnde necessary by
the action of the Senntc in recessing
last night for thirtv dnvs without finnllv
npproving the Willis. Cnmphel! bill
which would forbid piescrlptlon of beer
as medicine-.
Tlie Treasurv. it wns pxnlnined. tnkes
the position that since tlie nntl-heer
bill hnd passed both houses of Congress
and the question nt issue In tlie final
ndootlnn of the measure did not involve
the use of beer medically here could be
no advantage In promulgating the rules.
Brewers Not Anxious
The Treasury believes, it was said,
that congressional action will cohip soon
nfter Congress reassembles next month
nnd it would be purposeless to put forth
tlie regulations under the circumstances.
The tinde would be put to considerable
cost, according to the Tiensur.i's view,
if an effort were made to opeinte under
tlie regulations which tlie Tiensnrv be
lieves would be nullified hv legislation
soon nfter Congress reconvenes.
The main factor governing tlie Treas
ury's decision th, hold up the beer regu
lations, however, was said to be the
lark of applications from hi ewers to
permit them to manufacture beer for
medical purposes. With no pressure
being brought to benr uopn it. the
Treasury was declaren to take the po
sition that If tlie brewers themselves
were not desirous of ohtnining tlie reg
ulations, there wns no necessit In mak
ing them effective unless Congress
should determine that tlie use of med
ical beer was legnlT
Settled Finally, Belief
As a result of the secictan's confer
ence with Commissioner Blnlr. Trens
urv officials believed the medical beer
(Hiestinn hns been finally settled mi far
ns the Treasury Is concerned unless
there should be-a decided change in the
ooncre&siounl attitude.
The regulations have been completed
for snmn time nnd would liave permitted
physicians to prescribe ns much ns one
case of beer on n single piescription,
but with no limit on the number of pre
scriptions tlie physician might write.

rose purposes letting his stnicinent go
without further word or act, and per
mits Clerk of Courts Cunningham and
Judge Brown, his recognized personal

port the Vare ticket, the Inevitable
conclusion will be that the Senator's
words were mere rodomontade ; that he
has committed himself body, soul and
breeches Into their hands.
The Vnrc. or, rather, the Vnre-Brown-Cunninghnm
