SUBSIDY BILL GOES
10 HOUSE WITHOUT
T
Marine Committee Turns
Down Amendment Barring
Ships That Sell Liquor.
WASHINGTON. June Without
a record vote the House Merchant
Marine Committee rejected to-day the
Bankhead Amendment to the Ship
Subsidy Bill providing that no Govern
ment aid should be allowed ships on
which liquor was sold.
The Edmonds proposal, which would
extend theolateod l.w'ith lea-y
fining all ships of any registry touch
ing American .ports on which liquor
selling was permitted, was not acted
upon and the committee ordered the
bill reported by a straight party vote.
The committee adopted an amend
ment requiring two-thirds of crews in
deck and engine departments ot pas
senger ships should be Americans; but
without the citizenship requirement
for steerage crews on passenger ea
sels.
Rejection of the Bankhcad amend
ment was expected to put the fight
over the question of Prohibition .a
sea squarely before the House, unless
a rule was allowed which would per
mit a vote on only committee amend
ments. In that event, Representative
IlSnkhead announced he would force
it to an Issue on a motion to iccom
mit the bill with lustructlons to insert
tho amendment designed to close all
bars on American ships sharing in the
Government subsidy.
Meanwhile, in the executive branch.
although officials wero understood to
be still discussing the question to-day,
there had been no developments be
yond the Indication at the Treasury
Department that Attorney General
Daugherty might be asked soon for j
ruling on the legality ot liquor selling
on American ships. In this connec
tion Mr. Daugherty said that It such
a request was made It would be acted
on as speedily as possible.
Nobody is looking for an adverse
ruling from tho Attorney General. In
view of the opinion rendered by Gen
eral Counsel Schlcslnger of tho Ship
ping Board thai selling liquor on the
high seas wai legal, Secretary Mellon
is indisposed to initiate action, but If
Commissioner Haynes requests a rul
ing from the Department of Justice
the Secretary will send It along. The
Treasury Department describes the
question as "academic" and Involving
no "moral issue."

NO WORD OF MARS YET
But It Is Possible to Flash
Around World Here to
Experiment.
Although he has had no communica
tion from Mars and has not attempted
to communicate with that planet,
Slgnor William Marconi, perfector ot
the wireless telegraph and telephone,
announced on Ills arrival In New York
to-day on board his steam yacht and
floating laboratory, the Elettra, that
he had perfected a system by which
radio messages can be projected In any
desired direction. Under methods of
operation In voguo here, radio mes
sages can be broadcast only scattered
In all directions.
Slgnor Marconi has sent radfo mes
sages 100 miles avralF.tahead which
nAt IimWI -rnts nt tint V(.f1 vT-
aimed at. In time, he said, apparatus
will be perfected which, in his opin
ion, will project radio messages with
tho accuracy that marks the trans
mission of telephone or telegraph mes
sages over wires.
Tho idea that messages may be re
ceived from Mars la not fantastic,
Slgnor Marconi insisted. Ho is con
vinced, he said, that a wave length
ot 130.000 metres recorded by his In-
rumnl ! on the Klcttin, while cruls
ini in tho Mediterranean last winter,
tamo from Mais or Venus, or was
projected by a magnetic dlstuibance

coni receded icporters and Introduced
them to his assistant, Ga.ston Math
iou. an eminent Belgian engineer, and
to the rommandcr of tho yacht, Capt.
Rafael l.iuro.
The chief object of the visit of
Slgnor Marconi his rlghly-fifth to
America is to attend tho meeting of
the American Institute of Radio En
gineers and tho American Institute of
Electrical Engineers In this city next
Tuesday. He will address meet
ing and describe at length recent ex
periments he. has conducted on the
Elettra. loiter, he 111 visit Schenec
tady, Newark ami other radio centres
and will broadcast at least one ad
dress from Newark.
"America," he said, "iPads the
world In radio development. I have
been amazed at the variety ot enter
tainment and Information sent out
by your broadcasting stations which
I picked up on my receiver on the
Elettra.
"During the cruise from Southamp
ton by wny of tho Azores, which took
twenty days, I experimented mostly
with machines for the development of
high speed In wireless transmission.
We have developed a sending speed
of 200 words a minute. While In New
York I rm going to conduct some
experiments on the Elettra to deter
mine how many words a minute we
will be able tr. receive.
"Wireless telegraphy to-day Is

DEFENSE TURNS ABOUT.
Time Whole Story Was
Threshed Out, Defendant's
Attorney Announces.
When Walter S. Ward was arraign
ed for pleading before Justice Mor-
chauser in the Supremo Court at
White Plains at one o'clock to-day
hi counsel, Allen R. Campboll, made
a complete change of his attitude to
ward the Investigation of the killing
of Clarence Peters.
Ward felt, his lawyer said, that the
time had come when the case should
have a complete hearing and atked
tor an Immediate trial.
Justice Mprscliauser severely re-
bukeil the defense for assuming that
th( convenience or comfort of Walter
Ward would be served In preference
to that of other men awaiting trial.
He showed Increasing impatience with
the attitude ot tho Ward laWyers, and
finally warned them not to provoke
Mm into saying things about them
which were better unsaid, but never
theless true.
"The defendant, If you please,"
said Mr. Campbell, answering the re
quest for a pleading to the 'murder
charae as stated by District Attorney
Weeks, "pleads not guilty nnd asks a
speedy trlnl. There are circum
stancesinto which it. is not neces-s-iry
for me to go. but with which
Your Honor is familiar"
"Tho plea is not guilty," said Jus
tice Morschauer to the clerk, sharply
"Of course, counsel may make any
motions they wish.
"Tho defendant Is held without
ball," said Mr. Campbell. "It Inno
cent ho should not bo lequiied to rr
main in jaJl until the fall term or
court. Ufa health Is not of tho best."
"Thctr Is a pool colored man in the
Jail wultlng to be tried," said thr
Justice. "He lias asked for a pced
trial. The District Attorney his
agreed. He shall ho tried first. W'u
should this man be favored? I im
not going to do it. If you would pro

"Suppose .no agree to bring them

"All of them?' asked Justice
Morschauser.

Mr. Catnpboll, "we do not know
where the other two men are."

An expert estimate made to-day of
the damage wrougft by tha conflag
ration which swept. Arverne last night
reduced the property damage from
the "origtna figures to a total which In
not likely to exceed $2,000,000. The
tire completely destroyed nearly
twenty acres ot buildings, most of
them homes ol'perlshable frame con
struction, a' total of about 160 hotels.
stores and dwelling.
1 Hundreds of persons have been
made homeless, though quick relief
measures found most of them roofs
for the remainder pf tho night.
The extent of the fire was from
Beach GSth to Beach 2d Street, from
tho water front to tho Long Island
Railroad tracks. This stretch of land
to-day looked like a war devastated
area in Belgium or Northern France.
Police Captain Kruscher ot the
Rockiway Beach station complctod a
surj-ey of the devastated territory this
afternoon and estimated the total loss
at $1,000,000, The buildings destroy,
ed included 10 large hotels and board
ing houses, 82 cottages and residences,
between 50 and 60 bungalows, the
Coast Guard Station, the Israel Or
phan Asylum, th Ideal Laundry, the
Jerome Baths and the Franklin
Dulldlng.
This survy was supported by David
Uiscnberg. an insurance and real es- '
tate broker In the Rockaways. Ho
said thn hotels and boatdlng houses
destroyed were:. Nautilus, 60 rooms;
Elizabeth, 60 rooms; Grand View, 30
rooms; Robert Burns, 16 rooms; Vic
toria, 46 rooms; Plaza, 30 roomsf
Alexander, 48 rooms; Beach Apart

rooms, and the Alexandria, 25 rooms."
Lack of water pressure In the mains
Is to-day held to be accountable for
tho rapid and, for long, ungovernable
spread ot the fire. There was a brisk
northeast wind blowing- when tha
flames broke out, and In a little while
it shitted, carrying the blaze tn other
directions and making the 'firemen's
task almost superhuman.
Soon after the fire was seen to be
in the nature of a conflagration, po
lice were atutloned all over the atca
threatened, to bo on the outlook for
thieves who might take advantage of
the excitement to tob. Several men
wero arrested with money, clothing
and other articles which Indicated
they hail been stolen. Two business
places In Arverne were broken into
during the flro.
Major Hylan, accompanied by Com
