I'LL SAY London, Aug. 4. (By Universal Service.) His royal highness, Prince Aage jpf Denmark, arrived Sunday on the Aquitania on his way home after a hurricane tour of America. .This tall, democratic young prince, tanned like an Indian, shed his royal uniform with its four gold stars on the collar and the golden braid of the Legion d'hon neur for gay civilian attire almost before the Aquitania had passed Sandy Hook and literally danced his way across the Atlantic. Being still a transport, the Aqui tania is without an orchestra, but this made no difference to the prince. , He borrowed a Victrola from Floyd Gibbons of Chicago, col lected every body who could jazz or shimmy around the piano and went to it every night. Whirlwind Tour. "I whirled through America from June 18 to July 26," said the prince to Universal Service, "and saw mo tor cars turned out like flies in De troit. I spent two days in Chicago, rushed through the Pittsburgh steel mills, -got wet ,as a porpoise under Niagara Falls, attended dinners in Washington and had the time of my life in New York. "I had seen many units of your wonderful troops on the west front and wanted to discover what you are going to do with them after the War. That's why I went to Amer ica. You have remarkable war ma terial in men like young Gen. Doug las McArthur, whom I met at West Point, and General Hill, whom I met at Camp Mills; but I don't see how you are going to keep up mor ale if you persist in taking major generals and brigadier generals who have won distinction leading troops in action and demoting them to colonels, majors and captains in the peace army. Nice Tribute to Yanks. "Your soldiers fought beautifully because they are free men. In a country producing men like they, why m hell are you restricting lib erty by passing prohibition laws? You are simply penalizing 95 per cent of good people for 5 per cent of bad people that's what puzzles me. Now Europe will be full ot drunken Americans. The English are the hardest and steadiest drink ers I ever saw, but they -are' quiet drinkers. When all American gets drunk, you can-hear him all over the place. "I attended a dinner in a private home in Washington. I never saw so muchjiquor in my life. A sen ator there, who was 'tight', told me he had voted for prohibition because it was the" polite thing to do. but he had a 10-years' supply in his cellar. That kind of prohibition can't last long.

Stocks broke with a crash today under an ava lanche of liquidation and short sell ing, which embraced an, enormous variety of issues and aggregated al most 2,000,000 shares. The break, which ranged from 5 to almost 20 points in the recent market leaders, was precipitated primarily by the railway shopmen's strike and the attitude of the rail way brotherhoods, including the recommendations of the unions that the railroads be taken over by the government. Spread of the movement "against high living costs also gave impetus to the decline, which was the most severe of any session since the be ginning of the bulLmovement some six months ago. The -decline -started among rails, but almost immediately extended to every branch of the active list, in cluding shares recently much in speculative favor., Among the more severe price im pairments were the investment rails, steels, motors, oils,, equipments, shippings and utilities.

Neither of the two commission members would discuss the subjects brought up at the conference, but admitted that it dealt with phases Of the living cost problem. Attorney General Palmer has summoned District Attorney Clyne of Chicago to report on the progress of investigations, which have been underway there. Mr. Clyne's visit was regarded as significant because an early decision is expected by the attorney generrl as to whether in formation submitted by the Federal Trade commission warrants prosecu tions against the "big five" packing companies. Senate Talks High Prices. High prices and the resulting un rest expressed in strike threats by hundreds of thousands of railroad men occupied much of the time of the senate today. Senators from wheat-growing states asserted that the government guaranteed price of $2.26 a bushel was not responsible for the high cost of bread, declaring that wheat was selling at terminals at higher figures. Senator Gronna of North Dakota said the crop would be nearer 650, 000.000 bushels than the forecast of 1,250,000,000 bushels. , Several senators declared there was ample law to punish profitegr inar. Senator Borah of Idaho com mented that it would 1e no task tol find the profiteer, but that he would be "as safe- the next four years as the past four"i He urged that spec ulation be curbed. Senator Reed deplored efforts to finance and feed Europe. Chairman Gronna, of the senate agriculture committee announced during the day that his committee would, meet tomorrow to consider the excessive living cost problem. Investigation in Colorado?

Jewell Washington, Aug. 4. President Wilson was told Monday by B. M. Jewell, acting president of the rail way division of the American Fed eration of Labor, that all railroad employes were opposed to the pro posal made to the president by Di-. rector General Hines, that congress constitute a committee to pass on questions of wage increases for the men. He said this process would be too slow and because of the rising cost of living speedy relief was nec essary. Mr. Jewell was accompanied to the White House by the heads of the six big railway shop crafts who pointed out to the president that thousands.of shopmen were now on an unauthorized strike, and that un less the demands of these men for wage increases approximating 25 per cent, presented last January, were granted promptly the .situa tion would get beyond'the control of union officials. Efforts now are being made by the union leaders to get the strikers to return to work, the president was told. If a strike should become nec essary in order to enforce the de mands of the shopmen, the presi dent was , informed, union officials felt it should be conducted only after a vote by the union members. Strike ballots will be mailed to 500,000 shop employes tomorrow, Mr. Jewell announced. The vote will be tabulated August 24. Mr. Jewell declared emphatically that if congress passed the legisla tion proposed by Director General Hines, "we'll tie the railroads up so tight that they'll never run."

Los Angeles, Aug. 4.--Rewards of fered for arrest and conviction of persons guilty of v placing a bomb which yesterday destroyed the home of Oscar Lawlor, formerly assistant United States attorney general, to night totaled $11,500. Mr. and Mrs. Lawlor, who were burned during a fire which followed the explosion, still are in critical condition, their physcian said. . The city council has under ad visement a request from Mayor M. P. Snyder, that the city add $10,000 to the reward already offered. Dr. T. C. flyers, who is attending Mr. and Mrs. Lawlor, said that neither was out of danger. He be lieved, he said, that Loth showed a slight improvement since their ad missiorf to the hospital, but felt it was too early to -forecast the term ination of either case. He was hope ful for both, he added. Mrs. Lawler's burns were much less serious than those suffered by her husband. The shock of the ex plosion and bomb, followed by her fainting attack when she realized tha her little son was cut off from her by flames, added to the serious ness of her condition. She also re ceived a fracture of the left clavicle when her husband dropped her from a second story window. These in juries and shocks together created a condition that has caused her phy sician much anxiety. Mr. Lawlor was said to be resting easily today, and to be in a better frame of mind than jfesterday,' when hrf apparently it was said, cared little for Ufe. The physicians were hopeful that de spite fearful burns he would make a good recovery. They said that if he recovered he, would be scarred but not sriously disfigured and his eyesight would be unimpaired. OmahMan Protests Charged $5 Made for Connecting Ph Lincoln, Aug. 4.
