PROHIBITION CONTROLS HOUSE Amendments Providing For Sale of 2 3-4 Beer Are Voted Down Washington, July 15.—Prohibition forces took full control in the House yesterday, refused to permit a vote on a straight-out motion to repeal the war-time act, defeated over whelmingly an amendment provid ing for the sale of two and three quarters per cent beer and stood solidly against all uttacks on the general enforcement measure. Just as fast as one "liberal" amendment was offered by oppon ents of prohibition, it was voted down, always by a triple vote, for the minority, fighting every inch of ground, demanded a division after the ayes and nays were called, and then asked for tellers. Before the House got through with the first section of the first part of the three part bill there was more disorder on the floor than at any time this sea son. The disturbance arose first during an attempt by Representative Blan ton, Democrat, Texas, to speak a seeoni time against an amendment which .1 Ttid have given a jury the right to define intoxicants. The real battle of the day, how ever, was over the amendment to j define an as a beverage containing more than two and three quarters per cent alcohol, instead of more than one-half of one per cent as written in the bill. Representa tive Dyer, Republican, Missouri, author of the amendment, did not ask for this definition in the consti tutional prohibition amendment, but simply in the war-time law. There was an hour of speech-mak ing with the "wets" asserting that the motion merely would permit the very thing the President, as com mander in chief of the army, had said was best for the country for the next six months. Typist in Dual Role Arrested on Theft Charge Chicago, July 15. —Miss Anna M. Rutten, pretty and 22 years old. led the dual existence of typist by day and scion of wealth by night, according to the police and the broker who employed her until yes terday. She has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of $lO,OOO In Liberty bonds. Detectives who searched her apartment here found a richly at tired, languid beauty surrounder by beautiful tapestries and funniture in stead of the rather shabbily dressed, <lown-at-the-heel stenographer they had been led to believe they would find. Miss Rutten, the police said, was unable to explain how she man aged to keep up her handsome apartment and wardrobe on her weekly wage of $17.50. Several thousand dollars' worth of the bonds have already been located, police said. ORDINANCE SECRETS TO BE BARRED TO PUBLIC Army Men Will Explain Details of Weapons That Helped to Defeat Germany During National Rifle Matches Caldwell, N. J., July 15—Four of olHcers and 36 men of the United States army familiar with the con struction and operation ot machine guns, rifles and long range field pieces have beer.* detailed here, it was announced to-day, to explain to tho American public for llie first time since the beginning of the war, what have been regarded heretofore as highly important ordnance se crets. The detachment will boNrr.charge j of an exhibition of rifles, 3-inch mor tars. Chauchat machine guns, hand! grenades and 37-millimeter field] pieces, to be heid in connection with j the National Rifle matches which] are to be eon-tested on the United States Navy Rifle. Range hero during! August. It will be the purpose of] the forty experts to lay bare the most minute working details of the ! weapons, large and small, that play ed such an important part in defeat ing the Ccrtral Powers. They will illustrate, in a specially constructed j building, by means of lectures and j objects, how the United States went about the task of building up her Ordnance Department after it enter ed the war. Thty also will describe to the civilian visitors the art of gun smitliing. Presents Rig Opportunity Lieutenant Colonel William C. Harllce, of the United States Marine Corps, executive officer of the 1919 National Matches, who is now here, said that heretofore the rifle contests which have been participated in by several thousand gunners, have beerv held on ranges that have been more or less inaccessible to the gencial public but I Pat fits year they would be only 20 miles from New York and within easy reach of 10,000,000 per sons. i SAYS ALLIES MUST GET MORE MONEY U. S. Action Necessary to Pro tect Billions Already Lent Washington, July 15.—The United States must lend the Allied Nations approximately $2,000,000,000 addi tional to recover the $9,000,000,000 loaned those nations during the war, in the opinion of Charles H. Boyn ton, New York linnnciul expert. It. was learned that he has submitted to the treasury officials a mem orandum in an effort to convince them of the necessity of a definite governmental policy with respect to foreign investments to promote such investments among the people of the United States "to prevent a fin ancial cataclysm resulting from ex isting conditions in Europe." Mr. Boynton is endeavoring to convince Secretary Glass and other officials of the Treasury Department of the necessity for some such plan as that urged by J. P. Morgan. Henry P. Davison. Frank A. Van derlip and other bankers, whose ideas are being embodied in a bill prepared by Senator Edge, of New Jersey. Mr. Glass and the Federal Reserve board are opposed to the plan. Senators Knox, Borah and other opponents of the League of Nations have charged that big bank ers were supporting the League be cause of their interest in the pro posed foreign credits pool. „ Boynton Outlines Plan The Allied indebtedness can most quickly be overcome, Mr. Boynton says, by American absorption of for eign securities. A memorandum prepared by him for the treasury follows: "Last spring I was brought into touch with a movement in New York designated to undertake the education of American investors in reference to foreign securities. It was realized by all financial insti tutions that the ability to rehabili tate Europe financially was to de pend largely upon the rapidity with which financial and bond distribut ing institutions could pass on to ultimate American investors the se curities which would issue to ac complish the financing referred to. "I had returned from Russia, where 1 had seen the institution of bolshevism and what it had dono to property rights. 1 was impressed with the possibility that the form ■of disease might sprcud into other portions of Europe and that invest ment in foreign securities would be a most difficult problem to hnndle, unless there were some form of as surance that the investments so made would have the support of our Government and the protection which the United States alone could Rive. "These facts seem to me irrrefut able: "First. Europe owes the United States about $9,000,000,000. "Second. In order to recover that indebtedness it will be neces sary to extend still further credits perhaps $2,000,000,000 more. "Third. The method by which this heavy indebtedness can be most quickly overcome is by the absorp tion of foreign securities by Ameri can investors. Education Is Urged "Fourth. The American investor has not yet been educated to pur chase of such securities. Up to this time the most extensive foreign in vestments hove been made in Mexico and Russia. The experiences there have not been conducive to further investment in foreign lands unless some form of protection rind as surance of government support is given. "Fifth. Therefore it seems es sential and fundamental that before a rehabilitation of Europe financial ly can be made, a firm foreign policy must bo adopted by this Government which will lend itself to a support of ull legitimate American enter prise and investment abroad. "Sixth. Until this is done it would seem to me that effort at foreign trade expansion and absorp tion of foreign securities must be a long process. The vital necessity of financing Europe to prevent a cataelysm is admitted hy thotr fin ancial experts, and should it not lie accomplished u League of Nations would seem to be without value." Police Asked to Help Find Missouri Girl The local police have been asked to nsstat In finding Miss Eglantine Jersey, of Ht. Loula, Mo„ who either left or was taken from a Pennsyl vania railroad passenger train en route from fit. Louts to Washington last Tuesday. She Is described as 17 years of nge with dark hair and dark complexion. Railroad detectives are on the search for the girl. Another interesting feature of the j matches will be the air meet I nr. which net less than six army and! navy flyers, and including, possibly,] Lieutenant Ormer Lookyear, the | mid-air acrobnt, will participate by; authority of Major General Charles' T. Menohcr, director of the United States air service. Two two-seatod! and four one-seated airplanes will be! provided by the Federal auihot itie.-. | The air meet will include both j ground work and flights. In the first j classification there will bo exhibits of ammunition, aerial armaments,] synchronizing gears and the mostj recent telescopic sights. Methods cm-I ployed in bore sighting, it is said, j will bo explained in detail. Ae'ial] photography and its application to] surveying, civil engineering, the loca-j tion of fires and other purposes, will be another feature. "Ace," Will IU Present The flying personnel, in addition perhaps to Lieutenant Lockyear. will include several other "aces" of the American Expeditionary Force ail of whom, it is expected, will give demonstrations of the accuracy ob tained in aerial machine gunllre dur ing hostilities. Parachutes and cap tive balloons will servo as targets and now are being made to incor porate the air shooting into the list of events scheduled by the National .Rifle Association. j While the primary purpose of the air service participation is not to have the flying personnel enter the trifle matches as individuals or in teams, the men selected for duty, it is said, will be chosen with a view to their qualifications as marksmen. General Menoher having expressed himself, it is said, as, being desirous I that they participate In actual firing. Normal Production Of Pig Iron Is Near Cincinnati, July 15. While pig iron buying has lost a little of the momentum gained during the month of June, considerable interest is still displayed in purchases for last half delivery. The cortinued general in quiry for foundry iron bears out pre vious reports that consumption is m cieasing. A number of buyers who thought they hud covered their re quirements over the remainder of this year arc taking 011 further ton nages, and requests made for rush shipments ur.-d anticipated deliveries confirm the prediction of a general resumption of trade on a more nearly normal basis. Tlie last week has seen several additional furnaces withdraw from the market for this year's shipment it being their feeling that tonnage booked will require normal produc tion. Iron for shipment during the fourth quarter is in demand, with a few inquiries out for 1920 shipment. It is not likely that much tonnage will be booked at this time for ship inert next year, as such delivery does not appeal to producers at pre sent prices. Beef — It's Cheap Food Compared with prewar price levels/ beef is one of the cheapest of essential foods today.

Schnure re ceived a postcard this week from the heroic Sellnsgrover, wherein he staled he expected to set sail In a fortnight. The cureer of Dr. Haas has been a life of service and sacrifice. He faced danger courageously in foreign lands to heal the sick and extend the teachings of Christianity. During the war it was feared he had met his death In one of those wholesale slaughters perpetrated by the Turks in tiia name of Mohem meranisni. The fact that no word came from him during those years of hostilities added to the belief that ho had come to an untimely death. Dr. und Mrs. Haas departed for Tarsus In September, 1910. When the world war started Dr. Haas sent his wife and children back to America for their safety. The word has come to this coun try through those who have recently visited the hospital, that Dr. Unas' war work made him famous for hun dreds of miles from Tarsus. The missionary was known as the "Great White Father." Richardson & Eoynton Co., the leading heating manufacturers of America, offer you the services of 82 years of experience.
