the terms he will have the co-oper
ation of a number of specialists,
, now returning with the presidential
party, wno nave dealt with the oe
tailed branches such as those con
.. cerning reparations, territorial re-
adjustment and economic ques
: tions.
Weather Conditions Hot
The weather continues hot and
humid, the sea is smooth and the
sky cloudy.
The president talked Monday aft
ernoon over the wireless telephone
. with officials at Washington, estab
lishing the first such communica
tion with the capital. The wireless
telephone had been working during
th night and Monday morning with
the naval radio station at New
Brunswick. N. J. Despite unfavor
able static conditions, the voices of
those ashore were heard distinctly
here ind conversations were carried
cn successfully. By means of a me
chanical relay at New Brunswick,
connection was established between
" the president's study on board ship
and the White House at Washing
ton.'
" President Wilson's speech to be
delivered at Carnegie hall in New
York city, Tuesday afternoon, will
not be prepared in advance. He
will speak extemporaneously and
confine himself to an cknowledg-
, ment of the greeting given him and
hit satisfaction at being home again.
Questions relating to the peace
treaty , and the work of the peace
conference will be reserved for dis
cussion until the president . first
makes his report to congress.
Desires Open Session.
Washington, July 7. President
Wilson will address the senate on
the peace treaty and the league of
nations at 12:15 p. m. Thursday, it
was announced today at the White
House.
Because a treaty would be under
discussion some doubt had been ex
pressed as to whether the senate
' would be in open session, but it
was understood that Mr. Wilson
desired that the session be open.
. It has not yet been definitely de
termined when the president will
start his trip to speak for the peace
treaty and the league of nations. In
dications are that he will not leave
before the middle of next week.
Numerous invitations have been
extended to the president frorri va
rious sections of the country, but
rone has been accepted. It was ex
plained that the itinerary had not
been finally determined upon.
When the president reaches
. Washington tomorrow night he will
find g an accumulation , of official
business awaiting his attention.
BjUs; awaiting his signature include
thM, sttndry-ivil measure, the 'army
measure, the- navy bill, the agricul-
Sral bill with . its rider repealing
t daylight 'saving law, the
deficiency Dill, the vocational edu
cational measure and a number of
others. , ..
; A delegation of democratic mem
bers of the house, headed -by Rep
Feventative Scott Ferris of Okla
homa, left Washington tonight for
New York to join the party which
will make the trip down the bay on
the battleship Pennsylvania tomor
row to meet the president. V
1 Besides Representative Ferris the
delegation will be composed of Rep
resentatives' Webb' of North Caro
lina; Hull, Tennessee; Mays, Utah;
Ronjue, Missouri; Sears, Florida;
Oliver, Florida; McDuffie; Alabama;
Lee, Georgia; Raker, California, and
Gandy, South Dakota.
Wilson's War Acts
Criticised Sharply
(Coo tinned From Fat On.)
as well as on the advice of its ad
visory commission.
"The advisory commission of
seven men was throughout the war"
composed of at least three and prob
ably four republicans, as was the
huge majority ox the council s con
mittees. The council's minutes,
which I furnished to Mr. Graham's
committee with the hearty consent
of Secretary Baker, chairman of the
council and voluntarily supplemented
with those of the advisory commit
tee, disclosed beyond any question
that the council had in the most
- i r-- l l
conservative way iookcu tar aiicau
into the immediate future to the end
of preparing the country for war.
It is my deliberate judgment
that if the council, utilizing the
greatest experts in the leading in
dustries and utilizing them in i
wholly nonpartisan way, had not
taken its forehanded steps America
would not have laid in time the
foundation for mobilizing its indus
trial resources which made possible
the winning of the war.
Matter Decided Long Ago.
"The council's minutes having dis
closed these facts to Mr. Graham,
he addressed himself to the coun
cil's system of procuring supplies
for the War department, ihat mat
ter was threshed out long ago be
fore the senate military affairs com
mittee and the intimation against
members of the council's commit
tee on supplies died of their own
weight at the end of the hearings
more than a year ago. Council
committee members under tne
stress of unprecedented emergency
were undoubtedly in some cases
placed in the apparent position of
doing . business with themselves,
whereas that never was actually the
fact and not a scintilla of wrong
doing was ever disclosed and it is
believed that the law was complied
with throughout."
i i i
Full Liberty and Equality
Granted Jews in Poland
Paris, July 7. M. Pichon, foreign
minister, replying to a communica
tion from members of the chamber
of deputies, asking information as
to the attitude of France in the
peace conference with regard to the
Jews of Poland, Roumania and other
countries, declares that trom the
beginning of the conference the
French government endeavored to
secure thorough consideration ot
the Jewish question and. had asked
that conditions of absolute equality
be granted Jews in new or enlarged
states.
These efforts, M. Pinchon says,
resulted in the treaty already signed
by Poland "guaranteeing complete
liberty and equality to Jews in po
litical and religious matters.
New. Wheat Order Will
Aid Millers and Jobbers
New York, July 7.-Julius Barnes,
United States wheat director, who
recently was given control by Pres
ident Wilson of the exportation of
wheat and wheat hour, announced
tonight that until further notice ex
porters may ship wheat flour under
"General license H. S. 250" without
applying for individual licenses. The
order, effective Monday, is expected
to facilitate the business of jobbers
and millers to a considerable degree,
it was said."
New, York Bankers Purchase
$75,000,000 Canadian Loan
New York, July 7. J. P. Morgan
& Co. announced that a syndicate
of New York bankers had purchased
the new Canadian loan of $75,000,
000, issuance of which was an
nounced Sunday by Sir Thomas
White, dominion minister of finance.
The proceeds will be devoted to the
retirement of the Canadian loan of
$100,000,000 issued 'here two years
ago and maturing August 1.

Minority Advises

mittee upon three principal grounds
and challenged the power of con
gress to pass it because in denning
intoxicating liquors it went beyond
the original act and was therefore
new legislation. '
I On Jthe general question of the
wartime act and its enforcement the
minority report held:
"That the provisions for the en
forcement of wartime prohibition
carry a definition of intoxicating
liquors which extends the prohibi
tion beyond that of the original act
and to that extent is new legislation,
which congress has not the right
now to pass under the war power.
We believe the original- act should
be repealed. .
, Have Concurrent - Power
"That as to constitutional orohi-i
bition section two of the amend
ment provides that
"'The congress and the several
states shall have concurrent power
to enforce this article by appropri
ate legislation,' and the bill .pre
sented is wholly upon the theory
that the action of congress is su
preme and totally ignores the con
current power of the several states,

"That th hill crops hrvnnH th
prohibitions of the constitutional
amendment, in defining 'intoxicat
ing liquors so as to include bev
erages that are not in fact intox
icating
The Views of the minority as to
enforcement of the wartime act
were set forth as follows:
"The provisions for enforcement
of the war prohibition act con
tained a definition of intoxicating
liquor which is in effect new leg
islation. The act of November 21
1918, prohibited the sale of distilled
spirits for beverage purposes ana
also beer, wine or other intoxicat
ing malt or vinous liquor for bev
erage purposes. In the recent cases
in New York, where this statute
was construed, it was held that only
intoxicating beverages were includ
ed and that beer containing 2.75
per cent of alcohol by weight was
within the statute-only if mtoxicat
ing, which was to' be determined as
other questions of fact.
Whether or not the oriKinal act
of November 21, 1918, can be sus
tained as valid under the war pow-
er, it seems to us that at this date,
under the peace conditions that now
exist, congress is wholly without
power to extend the provisions of
that act. so as to include all bev
erages which contain in excess or
one-half of one per cent of alcohol
and call them intoxicating.

field, sudden' gusts of wind acting
adversely against her broad surface.
The situation does not prevail Mon
day night.
Stream of Water Descends.
Shortly before 9 d. m.. the wind
aving died down until the atmos
phere was listless, a stream of water
descended from amidship. As this
ballast left the craft the R-34 moved
upward slowly. From both sides,
well forward, and from the under
surface, also well forward, three wire
cables were connected with Anchor
ages on the ground. The stern was
left to swing with whatever breeze
might stir during the night. There
was no possibility, Maj. G. H. Scott,
the commander said, that the stern
would rise, as it did Sunday night,
until her massive form assumed at
times an almost perpendicular posi
tion. It was explained that on Sun
day too much water ballast had by
mistake been emptied from the
stern. Monday night the amount of
water ballast let go was equally dis
tributed throughout the length.
Keep Ship From Escaping.
With the shift aloft the balloon
company doughboys, veterans of
the American expeditionary forces,
found their first relief from many
hours of strain and excitement. In
crews of 25 each, 10 crews through
out the day had by their own
strength kept the dirigible from es
caping. The rising sun had expanded the
hydrogen with which the big ship
had been filled to capacity last night.
This expansion added eight tons to
the ship's lifting ( capacity and
wrenched out the cross girder to
which the anchorage ropes were at
tached. The breaking of the girder
tore a hole about four feet square in
the outer envelope of the dirigible
but this has been repaired)
At times during the day, the
ground crews swinging to hand lines
from the ship, were lifted bodily
from their feet as the wind blew the
ship about. At no time, however,
did the R-34 get beyond the control
of her human anchors.
Major Gen. E. M. Pritchard, ex
ecutive officer of the dirigible's crew,
discussing the difficulties in keeping
the ship from injury, said:
."We did not come any way near
losing the ship and allow me to say
that it would be all right if we had
lost it. When we planned to tome
here the British government asked
the United States to build a shed in
which to house the ship during its
stay in this country. This the United
States government refused to do.
When the, British government heard
this, they said something equivalent
to 'all right"
Tanks From Western Front
Used Against Reds In Siberia
London, July 7. Tanks have been
received by (General Denikin's forces
fighting the bolsheviki in the region
of the Volga and Don rivers, ac
cording to information received
here. Presumably the tanks were
supplied by the British.
Ihe first tank squadron, compris
ing three large land dreadnoughts
and two whippets, were put through
manoeuvering paces on the outskirts
of Ekaterinodor, knocking down
trees and negotiating steep ditches,
much to the surprise of thousands
of doubting Russians and to the
satisfaction of Denerals Dragomi
row, Lukonsky, Romaneiky and
Filiminor. The' tanks, which can
make nine miles an hour, were sent
to the front
The bolsheviki have no tanks.

Denver, July 7. Denver faces an
immediate street car strike, as F. W.
Hild, general manager of the Den
ver Tramway company, announced
sweeping reductions !n wasres paid
employes of the company. The
union men will meet at midnight to
consider what action they will take.
Wage reductions are effective at
5 o'clock Tuesday morning. Earlier
in the day union officials announced
a strike would immediatley follow
any wage cut
I he reduction in wages followed a
decision by the Colorado supreme
court, in which home rule cities in
Colorado were held to have full
power to regulate rates of utilities
companies. ,
; Five-Cent Fare Effective.
On Saturday a S-cent fare became
effective in Denver under an ordi
nanc passed by the city council. The
company Mid not announce its wage
cut pending decision of the supreme
court covering the general question
of the right of municipalities to reg
ulate rates.
The tramway fare fight had its be
ginning here September IS, 1918,
when the Colorado Public Utilities
commission granted the tramway
company a 6-cent fare.S The increase
was given for the duration of the
war.
In December, last year, the Pub
lic Utilities commission granted a
7-cent fare, and also permitted the
company to charge an extra cent for I
each transfer issued.
Inauguration of the 7-cent fare
was followed by a mild demonstra
tion by citizens of the city against
the fare increase. On the night of
January 2, this year, practically all
tramway cars were halted in various
parts of the city by crowds -who
pulled trolley poles from the wires,
refusing to permit operation of the
cars.
City Opposed Increase.
The city has opposed an increase
in tramway fares, taking the stand
that cities under home rule have
jurisdiction in such matters. City
officials have contended the Utilities
commission was without authority
to regulate rates.
On January 14, last, the state su
preme court ruled that the city and
not the State Utilities commission
had jurisdiction over rates. As 'a
result of this decision, the 6-cent
fare was restored and transfers were
issued free. From this decision an
appeal was taken and a rehearing
was granted. Today's decision by
the supreme court resulted.
The fare issue became a plank in
the platform of Mayor Dewey C.
Bailey during his campaign for elec
tion in May last. He promised res
toration of the' 5-cent fare.
