‘ANTI-BEER BILL FILIBUSTER IS „ SENATE THREAT Measure Will Delay Recess, or It Will Be Abandoned Entirely. WMBINGTOS, Ant. t<- —Cratrn* will be unable to rw until late teeitbt and probably not until tomorrow Republican Leader Mondell amottnead this afternoon. Vpeefa! to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. Aug. 24—After the Hocae adopted the conference report ou the anti-beer bill Including the compro mlae oa the Stanley amendment the Sen ate proponents of unwarranted search and seizure by prohibition enforcement offieera tarred notice they would conduct a flUbnatar against similar action by the Senate. The resulting situation appeared to admit of two courses. Either Indefinite delay of the recess which wag scheduled to begin today, or abandonment of the anti beer bill. The former course appeared probable Inaafar aa House members are not disposed to recess until the antl-beer bill became a law. With a roll call, the House adopted theollference report on the anti-beer till by a vote of 189 to SI defeating a mo#nn by Representative Hill, Maryland, to * recommit the report to the committee, by a rote of 182 to M. When forty-seven mem! era demanded a roll call on the adoption of the report. Speaker Gillen counted 2sß present. fader rhe rules of the House. one-fl:tb of those present may obtain a roll call. Consequently, in this case, if there had been counted 234 or less there would have been a roll call. In the two votes preceding the Speakers count by two or three minutes the totals wereibotb under 235 CONGRESS OPENS WAR ON REED. Just prior to taking up the confernce report on the anti-beer bill the House adopted, by a vote of 181 to 3, a resolution offered by Representative Newton. Minnesota, requesting the Senate to take ] “appropriate action" toward expunging from the Congressional Record the char acterisatlon of Representative Volstead of ; Minnesota, made a few days ago by Senator Reed of Missouri. Those voting \ against the resolution, as shown by a rising vote, were Representatives Roden I burg. Illinois: Newton and Hukriede. j Missouri. The advocates of the Stanley amend meat. Representative Mondell. Wyoming Republican lender, said, did not become “disturbed" about the violation of the Fourth amendment to the constitution, protecting citizens of the country against j “unreasonable a“rcb and seizure," until ! the highways of rhe country became con- | Rested, with malefactors, bootleggers and > rum runners ” "When we bear that certain gentlemen ado not propose to allow this act to pass and the Congress to recess unless the Stanley amendment it adopted." he said. “I begin to wonder. If It is entirely par liamentary for me to say so. whether the gentlemen are profoundly disturbed on account of the constitution or whether thalr disturbance arises out of regard for the rum runners." Representative Graham. Pennsylvania. Condemned Mr. Mondell for Imputing "Improper motives’’ to the men opposing tha measure under consideration. Again citing the constitution. Mr. Graham declared an individual need not "submia to a aearch of his person upon the highway without proper authority and the circumstances of the case warranting it." He told of a man arrested by a prohibition enforcement officer who suspected h was carrying a bottle of whisky. The officer found the man was carrying a pair of shoes, Mr. Graham said. MIGHT HAVE SHOT OFFICER. * “Think of an American citizen submitting to that Indignity," he declared “If he had turned and shot the offirei on the spot he would not have been vlo latlng the law to any considerable degree.” While denying he was speaking In opposition to prohibition Mr. Graham declared that "never in the history of this j republic have th“ scenes been witnessed j upon the streets of our great metropolis as In pursuit of the execution of prohibition. ’’ He appealed for protection of the person against unwarranted aearch the seizure as well as his house. “If you stand for prohibition of the Renate." Mr. Volstead declared, "you stand for breaking down the law.” The statement by Mr. Reed, to which the House objected, was In part as follows : "Until the other day I never had the pleasure of seeing the distinguished author of the Volstead act. His brief biography state* that he was born In the United States. I am. however. Informed be speaks a very broken English. I do not know what hi saneestry may be \m t I do know that I have gazed upon pictures of the celebrated conspirators of the past, the countenances of tdosa who have led in fanatical crusades, the burners of witches, the executioners who applied the torch of persecution, and 1 •aw them all again when I looked at the author of this hill. SO RESPECT FOR SUCH A MAN. “I have no respect for a man. whether he be a member of the House or elsewhere. who proposes to whittle down the Constitution of the United States, who tries to' leave It. as does the amendment of the House, so that an officer can go Into every building except a residence; who puta the discovery of a bottle of beer above the Constitution, who In the pursuit of favorite nasttime of hunting somebody who may take a drink, is willing •to destroy that Constitution which ha held, up hie hand and before Almighty God fewore he would maintain, protect and preserve “A man who thinks 'getting' a bootlegger than he does of preserving the palladium of human liberty Is not lit to be In a legislative body and not ft to be a citizen of the United States. . have more respect for an anarchist who.

There were twenty miles of duralumin channel section used in making the girders of which the hull was composed. The crew’s quarters were located In the keelway. This keelway was a long corridor extending the length of the ship, about eight feet Wide and se%-en feet high. There were two large spaces, one forward for the officers and one aft for the men. The quarters were equipped with comfortable chairs, tables, benches and a victrola. with a good assortment of records. The bunks were placed along the keelway at varying Intervals. Each bunk had in addition to a good mattress and blankets, a fur-lined sleeping bag. Each power cor was equipped with a eooking arrangement, which consisted of a lead from the exhaust pipe of the motor to the cooker.

TEAMWORK IS ESSENTIAL IN CHURCH TODAY Minister Tells Conference Pastor ard Flock Must Work Together. Teamwork between the pastor and his congregation was the theme of the address given before the pastor’s class by the Her. Paul 8. I-einbach, editor of the "Messenger" the official organ of the Reformed Church, today In connection with the Ninth Annual Missionary Conference of the Reformed Churches of the United States being held at the V. W. C. A. this week. ‘A Christian church is an organlza tion," said Dr. Leinbaeh. "and no minister is expected to do the Job alone. He Is to be the leader of an army 1m which every soldier does his work. There can't be teamwork without a team that works. | The minister's Job is not to do all the i work himself. Our congregations of toI day are generally disorganized mobs inI stead of being an army that obeys the I commands of God and the needs of men The sooner we get together in a statesmanlike manner the sooner the Job will be done. We never will win great cities to Christ without teamwork." Dr. Lelnbaci, also declared that the pastor "cannot be an ecclesiastical loafer, he cannot have union hours, but must work early and late.” The present day, in Dr.- L-einbach's opinion, is one of the most Important periods in history of the pastors to busy themselves in the work of Christ. DEBII.TORV CHURCH GOING DISCUSSED. Dr. C. E. Schaeffer in his study class took up the study of the chapter on •‘The Reach of the Church” In H. Paul Douglass' book, "From Survey to Serv ice.” In bis talk he laid particular stress on the problem of distance In establl -n lng tbe church of Christ. The question ss to how far people should go to church was discussed, and the reasons why penpie do not go as far to church as they do to social functions was agitated. "Look at the young men of today," said Dr Schaeffer. "They will hire a taxi and take the girls to a dance if it is a rainy night and the hallroom some distance away, but if they are going to church and it rains, he says ‘we can't go to church, it Is raining' and that's the way with most people. It is too hot or cold to go to church, too rainy r too dusty to go any d+stance for service*, but movies eowerts or amusements do not lose their lure by such discomforts." Dr T. P. Bollinger, Madison, Wls.. general se-- ret ary of home missions of the three synods of the Northwest, gave an address "Wandering* with the Wlnne-bago-s.’’ lie told of the tribes being driven from pillar to post. |fter their land in Wisconsin was taken from them and they were sent to the Nebraska reservation which they disliked and refused to stay within, returning in large, tmmbers eventually to their original home in Wisconsin. He discussed the work of the Reform Church in Wisconsin with the Indians, telling of the start of the mis sion work forty-three yaers ago in the vicinity of Black River Palis. LOCAL GIRL IS TEACHER. There the day school was started over three hundred have been given the foundation of a% Eugilsh education. He outlined the threefold policy of the school work —first to train the mind; to train the hand and. most important of all, the heart. He announced there is anew school being erected by the church at Nelisiille. Wls., with a dormitory, which will be opened this fall. It is of special interest to local folk as Miss Marie I. daughter of the Rev. William Lahr of Indianapolis, is to he the principal. Classes also were conducted by Mrs. J. String, \tfhose study on "Sunday School Teachers. Attitude and Preparation," was continued; Dr. A. V. Casselman on "Foreign Missions.” Mrs. HL. S. Gekeler on “Women s Work," and the Rev. O. B. Moor on "Sunday School Work." The Rev. C. A. Hauser also gave a talk to all the students on “Sunday School Methods and Con{erence Hour.” Prof. A. E. Krampe opened the meeting with an inspirational address on “Meditations on tbe High Priestly Prayer." Thl* afternoon Mrs. B. B. Krammes, Tiffin, Ohio, president of the general Synod of the Woman's Home Missionary societies, conducted a conference hour of women's work, taking up "Our Problem" for special study, and the Rev. Mr. Schaeffer was the leader of a class for the study of "Forward Movement Achievement*.'’ INTERESTING PROGRAM FOK TONIGHT. Tonight a young people's study class w-111 be conducted by Miss C. A. Miller, the topic being “Tbe Joy of Young People's Work” and a woman's normal class w-lth Mrs. Gekeler will meet, preceding a song service at 8 o'clock under the direction of the Rev. F. W. Knatz. Following the service, Mrs. Krammes will give a platform address on “Our Resources and Our Task." George Joslln will give several saxophone numbers at the close of Mrs. Krammes’ talk. The Concluding feature of the evening will be a pageant "From Self to Service” to be presented under tbe auspices of the Woman's Missionary Society. Classes and lectures are to be continued through tomorrow and Friday. Last evening an Illustrated lecture on "Kingdom Pictures" was given by Dr. Casselman, when five reels of motion pictures showing native life together with mission work In India and China were presented The musical program was given by George A. Newton, vocalist Bill Provides for Aviation Control WASHINGTON, Aug 24.—A bill providing for the control, regulation and development of civilian aviation in line with the recommendations of President Harding was introduced in the Senate today by’ Senator Wadsworth.

NEW EAST SIDE BRANCH BANK OPEN SOON

The new branch bank of the Fletehpr Savings and Trust Company, which is to be opened for business at Rural and East Washington streets In the early fall, Is to be the fifth branch of the downtown trust company. Construction of the building rapidly is being completed and fixtures are to be Installed

COUNCIL AT ADVANTAGE IN REGULATION (Continued From rage One.) company, ’.ha administration has offered to undertake tho regulation of Jitnejs. And right there Is the rub. The com pany has successfully gotten out from under the franchise tax and the paving expense. It Is loathe to give tip the advantages It obtained by surrendering Its franchise. The city council must be de- ' pended on to regulate Jitneys and It is well-known that the part of the admln- | lstratlon, with which the street car com- | pany is dealing Is not the council and 1 does not possess control over the council. COUNCIL MAY STAND IN MAY. There Is a grave question as to whether the administrative branch of the city governmont can bring the council Into line to the extent of making It regulate jitneys in accordance with any contact which It might frame wild the street car company. The council never has imlt eated a dosire to have tho mayor and the corporation council nogotlato con tract with tho street car company for it to enact into an ordinance and it probably never will. W herefore, the street car company Is confronted with the problem of how far It should go in Its bait for regulation of Jitneys. It foresees the possibility that, with a contract framed In negotla tioc* between the mayor and the corporation and Itself, it might be com polled to make more concessions to oh tain tbe ratification of tba council with out which the whole scheme falls. When It Is backed up against the wall the street car company will do this: 1. Agree to turn over Kairview park to tho city In lieu of tho SBO,OOO annua! franchise tax. 2. Agree to necessary special | w ork to provtde for rerouting of cars dowut-Avn 8. Agree to install crosstown service in South street, Thirty Fourth street and possibly in Washington street. 4- Agree to operate more ears on tie lines that are now being operated at a lots, owing to tho Jitney business. COMPANY'S LIST OF REFUSALS. Tho company also will make it plain that It intends: L To refuse to pave between track*. 2. To refuse, at this time, to extend any -car lines. 3. To refuse to pay the franchise tax of $30,000 a year. 4. To resist every regulatory ordinance that Involves any Increase 1n It* operating expenses by appealing such ordinances to the public service commission. 6. To abandon all traffic on lines where Jitney busses havs made them unproflt able. Tlie most Important of these Intentions of the street car company Is tha threat t> abandon street car service on West Washington street and on tho south aldeAbandonment now would make little difference to the people who generally ride the Jitneys. But with the approach of bad weather, the Irresponsible Jitneys will fade away and tbe public will have no mean* of transportation in this territory The council could, of course, order the company to restone this service, whereupon the company would appeal to tho publlo service commission, show that the service only can be conducted at a loss and gain the approval of the public serv l.u commission for its abandonment. 'THAT COUNCIL CAN ACCOMPLISH. Consequently, It ig a fact that the city council can take hold of this street car situation ltsolf and accomplish this much: 1. Obtain for Indianapolis Fair view park In lieu of the $30,00) franchise tax. 2. Obtain a tryout of the much do mauded "cross-town service" In two and possibly three east and west streets. 3. Obtain for West Indianapolis and the south side, a first class street car serv Ice. 4. Obtain for tbe benefit of the whole city rerouting that will dellove downtown congestion and shorten the time required to travel from the business part of the city to tbe residence parts. And It also Is a fact that no power on earth can obtain, without legislative enactments : 1. The resumption of street paving by the street car company. 2. The resumption of payment of the franchise tax. Thera Is tremendous pressure being brought on the members of tne city council to save the situation by regulating the Jitneys. This pressure will eventually be successful. The present question is whether tbe street car company will last until it 1h done and whether

to correspond with those In the other branches of the bank. The building la of the two-storeroom type and the bank will occupy tha room at 2810 East tVashlngton street. The structure Is of brick. Evans Woolen, president of the trust company, said today a manager for tho branch will be

(he council will take advantage of Its opportunity to straighten out the transportation problem of the city and obtain for Its citizens the betterments In the way of service that are possible whenever the council regulates the Jitneys. ORPHANS ENJOY ‘BIG DAY’ IN FEAST AND AMUSEMENT (Continued From Page One.) day among their many gray days, the sight of so many homeless children somsway brought lumps of the throat filling varlotles to mans of the spectators. The homes represented included the Indianapolis Orphans' Home, the Colored Orphans’ Home, the General Protestant Home, the Day Nursery and the Board of Children’s Guardians' Home.

I One little girl from the Good Shepherd’s Home, who never before had ■ traveled out of her residence, and sho ! was so small that Tom Hughes, member of one of the Elk's committees, carried j her from the car, foil sound asleep en route, and one of the attendants from j the home laughingly said she was not at all surprised, for the children wira alii ' up at 3 o’clock this morning preparing j for the day that they bad bee i dreaming about ever since Christmas Umu. ! Moving pictures of tha para.ls were made, to be exhibited for the lionofli of ; tne orphan children on their n-vxi outing j | After tbe ehow, which was only the ! starter for gay times, the trail of young- i | sters wound around Monument Circle and tack to the eight street cars, which! j carried them on to Riverside Park, where j ! fun and frolij fairly tumbled on to the ;, children. AL the amusements were , thrown open to the guests; they rode ; | the merry go-round, thq double-eight, the Kerris wheel and glided through the my*- j teries of tbb <>bl Mill with bated breath, 1 i all due to the courtesy of tbe Riverside i Amusement Company. FEAST PHOTES CROWNING JOY. And then, oh Joy of Joys, when they all ware beginning to feel that aorta gone feeling Internally, along about noon time, they were whisked over to the big p.sviillon. where nectar and ambrosia, Juvenllely speaking, was handed out to j i them. One small red headed boy almost j , fell from the platform when, instead of i one ice cream cone, he was given two i ! There was ire cream, loads of it, milk In plenty and a variety of good things staple i and fancy, planned especially for the and! mlnutive visitors. There was no lagging either, after the "eats." for a program of contests, athletic events, and "stunts" of unique j species were presented. A special feature ! was tho singing contest, where the ehil- j dren surprised the Judges by their clear musical voices. And too, tho boys from tho Colonial Theater with their Jnzz in- ' strumente and their mice harmony added tt(*dr share to the amusement of the children. Judges for the various contests and races Included Mrs. \V. E. Ratollffe, Professor Vandaworker and Charles Coster. “THREE RAI4 8” FOR THE ELKS. Judge Charles Orblson, exalted ruler of the Indianapolis lodge, during the afternoon made a short talk of welcome to tho children, which was responded to ion the part of the small guests with en thuslastie “three rails” for tlie Elks, j Leonard M.

It was learned, recognizes all of the rights established for the United States under the Versailles treaty, even though this Nation has not ratified that pact All property and other rights which the United States was to assume under the srersailles5 r ersailles pact are protected in the treaty now about to be signed, although there Is express provision that the United States assumes none of the responsibilities of the Versailles treaty. The treaty is complete and there will be no preliminary treaty or protocol as has been suggested, the President informed tbe Senators. No suggestion Is made in the treaty that Germany should assume responsibility for the war. It was learned. The treaty Incorporates most of ths Important parts of the Knox peace resolution, particularly those which referred 1 to the protection of American property ; rights and the rights in seized alien property. The treaty was negotiated on the basis of peace having been already established by tbe passage of the Knox resolution.

ZR-2 EXPLODES IN TRIAL FLIGHT (Continued From Page One.) J.,- where a tremendous hangar war erected for her. Aerial experts declared the ship was as nearly perfect as could be designed. BOLT OF LIGHTNING ONLY REAL DANGER. She need feat no wind, they said, and the only real danger they apprehended was a direct hit by c bolt of lightning. Lightning, they said, might possibly Ignite the gasoline vapor, in spite of ventilation abeut the gas tanks. Accommodations for the crew were the best that could be devised. There was much room In the main cabin and there was a passage running the full length of the gas bag—6o3 feet. Colonel Campbell of the British air forces designed the ZB 2. It was planned that she would carry thirty tons of gasoline when she finally hopped off from Fulham for the United States. That It was believed would be sufficient for a return trip, if it had been ueces- : saiy. BRITISH TEACHING METHOD OF FLYING. I Captain Maxfleld of the United States Navy was on board. The remainder of the crew was com- | posed of thirty-one British air service men. who were Instructing the Americans In the handling of the gas bag, preparatory to starting the flight for the United States within a few days. Captain Maxfield had not yet officially taken over the ship which was technically In charge of Captain Wann of the British air force until the tests had been completed. Other American officers on ! board Included Lieutenants Little, Easter--1 day, Hoyt, Bieg and Coil. The other Americans were picked me- ! cbanlcs. The disaster upset all the elaborate plans of the United States Navy Department which had bought the ZR-2 from the British admiralty. EARLY FLIGHT WAS SUCCESSFUL. The test flight was to have been the last. A wireless message from the ZR-2 during the morning said that the ship had made a most successful Journey and would soon land at Fulham. . The jubilation of the British air ministry officials was dashed by news of the accident. The sorrow over the loss of the big air craft was overtopped by horror over the apparent loss of life and the terrible manner In which death descended upon the air sailors. The observer, for several days previous to tbe disaster had been hinting that all was not well with the ZR-2, It stated girders had bent and lattice work buckled under the strain. ENGINES SAID TO HAVE GIVEN TROUBLE. The ship’s engines were also said to be giving considerable trouble. These defects. according to tbe observer, had been kept secret for several weeks, but it was feared she would be prevented from attempting the Atlantic voyage this year because of these differences. In discussing the practicability of giant airships at the time of the visit to America of the British R-34, General Mat’lnnd told of the extraordinary precautions taken to guard against explosions. No man was permitted to board the ship unless he wore rubber soled shoes to prevent trfe possibility of n spark caused by the contact of leather or nails with tho narrow wooden floor of the bag and the gondolas. The last successful flight of the ZR-2 made July 17 occupied nine hours. On that voyage the vessel was alleged to have shown weaknesses. SHOWED WEAKNESS IN JULY 17 FLIGHT. On that flight tbe big ship rose from her mooring mast at Bedford at 7:30 In the evening/ The vessel headed for London but turned back on encountering a thunder storm. She passed over the air station at Howden shortly before midnight, but did not descend. Rome of tho transverse beams about midships were said to have buckled a trifle, but a quick examination showed the damage was not sufficient to cause abandonment of the flight. The vessel flew back to Bedford and landed there shortly before 4.30 a. m. The slightly damaged beams were said to have been repaired before the final , flight was made.
