Col Din shah Ghadiali, a native of India, but an American citizen cried out before the convention of the National As sociation of Drueless Physicians here against Atlantic City's beach law, compelling women in Darning rainrhent to wear stockings. "Why should beautiful women and all the women I see here are beautiful be compelled by an un moral, un-American and inhuman law tto cover their beautiful limbs?" he asked. "What's the difference, I ask you, between a woman's foot and a man's foot? Do not the authorities of Atlantic City yet know they cannot make a people moral by law; that only education can do that? Why, I ask further, why not make men wear stockings upon legs that are not beautiful and put all horses in trousers? 13-YEAR OLD GIRL CLIMBS MT. RAINIER. Tacoma, Wash., July 21.

LIQUOR IN ONE'S OWN HOME IS ALLOWED Strike Out Amendment That Would Have Put Under Bond Person Convicted of Violat ing Alcoholic regulations. Washington. Jury 21 The pro hibition enforcement bill, drastic provisions and all, was adopted Monday section by section by the house, but a man's right to s'.ore liquor in his home stood up agai.ift all attacks. On the final count, only three votes were recorded in favor of an amendment to make sor.-e possession of intoxicants unlaw'u!. After all perfecting ameudmciits had been adopted and other de signed to make the bill less severe were bowled over in a chorus of "noes" an attempt was made to ad journ over night. This prevailed, but there was a demand for a roll ciU and the prohibition force, sum moned from all sides by Mieir lead ers, piled into the chamber .u suffi cient numbers to keep- the house l.i session for the tedious roll -all vote on half a dozen amendments in dis pute which had to ba passed on be fore vote was taken on the bill as a whole. Demand for a formal reading of the. engrossed bill which was not in shape for that purpose, forced ad journment of the house Monday "night and delayed its passage until Tuesdav. First Fight of Day. The first fight of the day was over the section giving courts the right to put under bond a person convicted of violating the liquor law. This was stricken out after Representative G a r d, democrat, Ohio, had pointed out that it pro vided double punishment for the poor man, who might be sent to jail. The vote was 83 to 66, many prohibitionists opposing its reten tion. When the house reached section 35 of the bill dealing with enforce ment of constitutional prohibition and which contained the provision that it was not unlawful to store liquor at home for personal use, the scene was not unlike that on a stock market on a high sales day. Everybody wanted to speak of offer an amendment, fully a score clamoring for recognition at once. First consideration was given Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee in charge of the bill, who had two amendments. These fixed the time for reporting possession (Continued on Page Two, Column Five.) Senator Kenyon Says Packers Are Working to Kill License Bill Washington, July 21.

Strike Breakers Removed From Cars by Strikers .Tulsa, July 21.

After they were disarmed the mob re leased the strike breakers. The company's track was torn up and telephone posts supporting the trolley line cut down, but there wa no damage done to the cars.

Drive for Daylight Saving nDipR T Law Tnpnl Now TTnrW WnvlU I III UIDLL Men and Women From All Walks of Life Take Active Steps Against Law Theaters and The Bee Circu late Petitions for Repeal of Legislation. Ministers, teachers, doctors and particularly mothers are signing in great numbers the petitions being circulated by Mrs. Grace J. Holmes, 5102 Capitol avenue, and a large corps of assistants, to have the day light saving law repealed. Arrangements were completed yesterday to have boxes plawd in moving picture theaters to receive coupons which are being printed in The Bee at the request of the workers. "Von may quote me as saying that the daylight saving law is a great disadvantage to churches," said Rev. O. D. Baltzly, pastor of the Kountze Memorial Lutheran church. "It works to our disad vantage both morning and evening. With Sunday school at 9:45 o'clock in the morning, the children and grown-ups find difficulty in getting there on time under the daylight saving regulation. And in the even ing the same sort of interference conies because it doesn't seem natural to go to evening services wh;le the sm is still high in the heavens." W. D. Morton, superintendent of the Kountze Memorial Lutheran Sunday school, gave the same testi mony and Harry Fischer, an attor ney, declared he would get 1,000 sigpatures to the petitions. The women are circulating the petitions principally because they declare the daylight saving law has a decidedly harmful effect on children, causing them to lose weight, lose sleep, and to become nervous. A blank is printed on this page. The workers for the repeal of the law ask that as many of these as possible be signed. WOMEN PROTEST AGAINST BEAUTY CONTEST HERE Isn't it a Scream in This Day? Declare Women Who Do Things. PRESIDENT ILL AND CONFINED ALL DAY TO BED With the greatest problems the world has ever known yet unsolved, two or three eastern newspapers have started beauty contests in which women, who were considered good looking, were entered (with and without their permission) as eligible prize winners. In each in stance this feature has brought- a storm of protest from the majority of women, who contend that since the war has taken women away from the "nothings and the froth of life," it is hampering progress to foster such a foolish movement. Despite this protest from think ing women of other cities, an Oma ha newspaper kas started a similar contest which also has brought forth a volley of opinions from leading Omaha women. Be Patient With Them. Mrs. Draper Smith has this to say: "The war has done great things for women for most women but there are a few who have been approached from every angle women upon whom the fairest of eloquence has been used with a view to interesting them in bigger things than beauty contests and their own personal appearance (to the exclu sion of everything else) but to no avail. Their interest could not be aroused. What they pass over in the world's great events is meat for the progressive mind. But these women will always be with us these women who would rather be in a beauty contest or at a pink tea than to do their bit for world peace. We should be patient with them." Isn't It a Scream. Another woman who stands for things artistic, scientific and prog ressive is Mrs. George Prinz. She says: "Isn't it a scream? While the greatest history the world has ever known is in itsriaking isn't it strange that women should have either time or inclination to put up their physical charm as a target of criticism? Of course, though, most women wouldn't consider such a thing for a minute. Discussions are of so much greater importance in (Continued on Pace Two, Colnmn Two.)

He told Secre tary Tumulty then he was slightly indisposed. and expressed his inten tion of going down the Potomac over the week end in the belief that a change of air might be beneficial. During the trip, however, the weather was stormy and damp and Mr. Wilson appears to have con tracted a slight cold. When he returned from the trip he was feeling worse and immedi ately upon ariving at the White House Rear Admiral Grayson diagnosed his ailment as acute dvsenrery and ordered him to bed. All appointments were canceled and those who were to have called were asked to postpone their visits until Tuesday. Berlin Troops Fire Into Independent Socialists Berlin, July 21.

EXPLODES; 10 KILLED Blazing Balloon Falls From Height of 500 "Feet Above Loop District in Chicago, Breaking Bank Skylight. CAUSE OF DISASTER MYSTERY TO PILOT Thousands of Pedestrians See Flames and Smoke Envelop ing Airship and Three Para chutes Dropping From It. Chicago, July 21. Ten persons were killed and 25 injured when a large dirigible, on its test flight, caught fire and fell 500 feet, crash ing through the glass roof of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, Jackson boulevard and La Salle street at 5 o'clock Monday after noon. Most of the dead were employes of the bank, trapped and burned to death in a fire caused by the explo sion of the balloon's gasoline , tanks as they hit the floor of the bank room, where more than 200 book keepers and clerks, nearly all girls, were working. The list of dead follows: JQIW WEAVER, assistant me chanic, ATiron, Ohio. CARL OTTO, assistant mechanic, Akron, Ohio. JAMES CARPENTER, bank messenger. MARIA FLORENCE. EDWARD A. MUNZER. JOSEPH SCANLAN, bank mes- C EVELYN MEYERS, bank em- j EARL H. DAVENPORT, pub- licity man. Two unidentified women. All of the dead except Weaver am'. Otto are residents of Chi cago. The balloon, owned by the Good year Tire and Rubber company of Akron, O., had been flying above the city for several hours when the accident occurred. When approximately 500 feet above the bank, a spurt of flame was seen to shoot from the top of the gas bag near the center of the aircraft. The crowds gathered on the streets to watch the flight saw the machine buckle and quiver as it started on its fatal plunge. Four Occupants Jump. Four of its five occupants jumped, and two landed safely in the streets as the blimp, a balloon flame, struck the roof of the bank with a ! crash audible throughout the down i town district. There was nothing to warn the hundreds of employes of the institu tion of the coming tragedy. A shadow passed over the marble ro tunda where 150 were busy and a crash audible throughout the down ing hour for patrons had passed, but the clerks were still at work in various departments. It seemed, according to the sur vivors, that the entire bank was on fire. Breaking through the iron supports holding the glass over head, the fusilage of the balloon, with two heavy rotary engines and several gasoline tanks, smashed to the floor. Instantly the tanks exploded, scat tering a wave of flaming gasoline over the workers for a Radius of fifty feet. A panic 'ensued. There were only two exits through which they could leave the wire cage which surrounded the rotunda. Fight Through Exits. Men and girls with clothing flam ing fought their 'way through the exits.

(X BRITISH PREMIER SAYS KAISER WILL GET FAIR TRIAL Replies to Criticism That Many Do Not Wish Former Em peror Tried in London. London. July 21. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Premier Lloyd George replied to his critics in the debate in the house of commons on the second reading of the German peace treaty and the Anglo-French convention. His recent announce ment that the former German em peror would be tried before a tri bunal in London had created much discussion, and several members, in cluding Lord Robert Cecil, ex pressed doubts as to the advisability of the trial being held in London. The selection of. a neutral country for this purpose, it has been con tended, would have been better. The premier in answer to this said: "What right have we to assume that any neutral country could de sire to be the scene of such a trial? The allies have sufficient confidence in this country that whoever comes he're for trial will receive a trial equal to the highest, of the British nation and there are none higher in the world. "If war is to be abolished it must be treated not as an honorable game with the prospect of personal glory, but as a crime. That is why we decided that the author of this war should be tried." Another matter of extreme im portance which came up for dis cussion was the Irish question and to this the premier devoted con siderable time with numerous inter jections by Joseph Devlin, national ist for Falls division of Belfast. Sir Samuel Hoare. unionist for Chelsea, warned the government that some of - the unionists con sidered the settlement of the Irish difficulty just as urgent at did -the Irish members. GERMAN HIGH " COMMAND SOLD , OUT TO ALLIES Two Teutonr Who Betrayed Hindenburg Brought to U. S. for Safety. Washington. July 21 A story of the bttryal of the,, German high, command through the efforts of the American military secret service and of the organization among. Ger man officers of a vendetta aimed at the lives of the traitors was brought to light with the arrival at New York today of "two German prison ers of war consigned to the director of military intelligence, Washing ton, D. C." According to information here the mysterious prisoners who landed from the Agamemnon under guard formerly were German offi cers of high rank, occupying posi tions of great responsibility under Von Hindenburg. Before inaugura tion of the American offensives in 1918, operatives of the American military intelligence corps prevailed upon them through inducements which have not been divulged, to deliver plans of the German general staff covering the proposed move ments of the western front, prob able lines of retreat, points t which stands would be made and other detailed information of inestimable value. Was Able to Lay Plans. With these plans before him, Gen eral Pershing was able to lay out his campaign witlf great treeduiiv and 'it is beli-'ved that as a result was to cut the cost of the American advance practically in half. The German officers later sui ren dered themselves to' the American forces. Certain of their former as sociates had become suspicious, however and are believed to have banded together to mete olit storn justice. Utmost precautions were taken even within the allied lines to protect the informers, but as offi cials believed that as long as they were kept in France their lives would be in danger, orders weri given for their transfer to this country.
