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

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

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

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

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. Other foods have advanced to
much higher points—and remained there.,
A survey conducted by the Health Commissioner of
Chicago showed the following price increases for the
current year over 1913-14: '
Flour . • . .j 210%
Sugar • •*. .115%
Milk . . ..." 87%
Round Steak • • . N 86%
Eggs . . . . . . 80%
Sirloin Steak 61 %
Beef is one of the best values in the food line and there
is plenty of it.
The need for conservation for military purposes is past.;

Selinsgrove Doclor Held
by Turks on Way Home
Selinsgrove, Pa., July 15.—Cyril
H. llans, for the last nine years head
of tho Christiun Hospital in Tarsus,
Turkey, and for the last four years
held a virtual prisoner of war, is on
his way back to his native Selins
grove. .Mrs. Howard D. 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."
