BALTIMORE, Md., July $.—The fire which swept the Locust Point river front of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road last night caused damage esti- mated by the company at $4,804,900 and serlously threatened public health serv- jice hospital at Fort McHenry. Two elevators containing 1,247,000 bushels of grain, two warehouses and piers loaded with merchandise, a power | house, drying shed, barges and other {structures crumbled within a furnace | that stretched along the water front over {an area of gix city blocks. Two firemen were severely injured by falling debris. While there was apparently no foun- dation _for it, a_rumor persisted this | morning that probably, a dozen or more | negro workmen were buried beneath the ruins of elevator B. When it was seen that Fort McHenry i Hospital was in danger, the 400 dis- abled veterans of the world war there were evakuated as fast as Army and police ambulances could remove them. They ,were taken to a public school | nearby. | Half a dozen ships were tied up at {the plers. All were removed in safety, but at considerable risk to the rescuers. The fire is said to have been caused | by a bo.t of lightning. SUCIE IN PARS BALTIMORE WOMAN Body Identified as Mrs. Kohn Instead of Mrs. Kahn of New York.

DYE RULING HELD GERMIAN VICTORY Palmer Says President’s Move Would Defeat U. S. Industry. By the Assoclated Press. STROUDSBURG, Pa. July 3.— A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney Gen- eral and alien property custodian { under President Wilson, in a fermal statement last night said that if the patents, trade marks and other property transferred to the Chemi- cal Foundation, Inc, during the Wilson administration were returned to the government, as demanded by Presi- dent Harding, America would again i“be at the mercy of the German dye trust.” He characterized “the govern- ment attack”.on the chemical industry as the greatest victory Germany had ‘won since Pershing turned back their legions at Chateau Thierry. Palmer's statement, in part, says: “If these patents are recovered from the Chemical Foundation they cannot be again sold to American citizens, and the inevitable next step will be a return to their former German owners. We will then be back to the old days when we were at the absolute mercy of the German dye trust. “These patents were seized by the alien property custodian, under the au- thority of the trading-with-the-enemy act. We had no means of determining their actual money value. If we had sold them to private interests we might have soid them for less than their value and got nothing but a new American monopoly -to take the place of the Ger- {man_trust. “We formed the Chemical Founda- tion, sold the stock in small blocks to persons interested in a new chem- ical industry, trusted the stock for a long period of years in the hands of five disinterested American citizens of high character.and undoubted pa- tritism, provided for -non-exclusive licenses upon equal térms to all comers, the proceeds to beé used after payment of 6 per cent to stock- holders ‘in research and educational work in the development of the chemical sclence. 3 - “Mr. Francis P.

MOTHER SAVES S N AUTO PLUNGE Grabs Child Who Releases Brakes—Machine Drops 300 Feet. Special Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., July 3.—Her body a mass of bruises and a collar- bone and shoulder-blade broken, but smiling and happy, Mrs. Lora Steere, wife of Maj. Thomas 1. Steere, United States Army, is being nursed back to health in the Army hospital at San Pedro, Calif., after saving the| life of her three-year-old son John, who released the bfakes of a large automobile near Los Angeles, re- sulting in the car going over a cliff and dropping 300 feet. finallv dash- ing with terrific force against a tree Mrs. Steere's father-in-law, Capt. Henry Steere, United States Army (re- tired), yesterday received advices from his son, Indicating the mother and ! child would live. None of the child's bones were broken, but he was se- verely cut, and ‘142 stitches were taken In his face. Maj. Steere, who was in San Francisco at the time, obtained permission to go to Los An- geles in an Army airplane, and the flight was made in 3 hours and 35 minutes, with Capt. A. F. Harold of the Army air service acting as pilot. Machine Starts Away. Maj. Steere learned upon his arrival at Los Angeles that his wife had gone into. their home to get some packages, and on coming out saw the automobile descending a steep hill with her child at the steering wheel. It was going at a high rate of speed toward the edge of a cliff. Mrs. Steere could not explain how she did it, but she managed to leap into the car as it swung by, seizing her child, held him in her arms and shut her eyes, certain, she said, of both being dashed to death as it plunged over and tumbled over and over until it,crashed into & tree 300 feet below. “I expected to be killed when I climbed into the car,” Mrs. Steere :all;i. but my one thought was my al 7,000 STORM ICE PLANTS ON SWELTERING SUNDAY Foundation for $300,000. GARVAN SEES INTRIGUE. Predicts Chemical Foundation Will Not Surrender Patents. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jul{ 23.—German in- trigue was blamed for the action be- gun by President Harding and the Attorney General to compel the Chemical Foundation to return 4,500 patents affecting the organic chem- ical industry, by Francis P. Garvan, former alien property custodian and head of the foundation. “The Germans, thoroughly aware {of the peace and war Importance of these patents, have never relaxed their efforts to get them back into German hands,” he sald. “They know that the upbuilding of the™German industry to world monopoly is ren- dered extremely difficult by American posscssior of the patents of the basic | industry, for that is what the or- jganio chemical industry is.” | He asserted that when the war broke out it was discovered the Ger- mans, through patents here, con- trolled the world production of dyes, but refused to operate in this coun try, thus trying to kill American en- terprise. He sald the Chemical Foan- dation was organized to promote the oryanic chemical industry in Amer- ica through the patents and that in vestigations already made ~showed that the members of the foundation and its head were all patriotic and noble Americans. “The Germans know,” he added, “that if the American organic chemi- cal industry can be wrenched loose from the Chemical Foundation. it can be attacked plecemeal and destroyed, the patents, of course, reverting to their former German owners, sples and enemy allens. That is why they have been so bitter against the foundation’ and its officel this realization that the foundatioh must be credited with organizing the American organic chem- 1ical industry, encouraging its growth and expansion. “The best legal minds in America approved the Chemical Foundation's title to the German patents,” sald Mr. Garvan, “and on that opinion 150 of the biggest chemical concerns in the ; United States inwested $150,000,000 for j the development of the patents.” Mr. Garvan emphaticaly declared that whatever happened the patents would remain the property of the Chemical Foundation. v ISPUTE SETTLED.

From early morning until early afternoon the variou§ ice stations, dealers and plants In the city were besieged by anxious men, women and children for the frozen water. In virtually every case, too, the customers were satis- fled, only those who procrastinated going back home empty handed. The little hot wave did not cause an un- precedented run for ice, but it made the dealers and employes work a little harder than they did the previ- | ous Sunday. As close as can be estimated, about 7,000 persons turned out in all sorts of conveyances and with all varietles of receptacles for carrying ice. At the Chapin & Sacks Manufacturing Company, 1st and M streets north- east, 3,000 persons blocked the traffic until five policemen were called in to make an ovening. The American Ice Company’s five manufacturing plants and nine stations throughout the city supplied hundreds up until hoon, the closing hour, and the Ac- cade market ice plant handed out the precious cgmmodity from 7:30 o’clock until 1, t¢ more than 1,000 custom- In connection with a study of the Wadsworth-Hicks bill for government regulation of aeronautics, incends to @y next month in an air mail ship trom Chicago to San Francisco to at- tend the annual meeting of the American Bar Association, where he will submit a report on proposed aeronautical legislation In Congress.

A traveling museum of comparative exhibits of German and other foreign manufacture and the corresponding American product will be taken to the people of the United States by the republican members of Congress this summer, to visualize the need for the Fordney protective tariff rates based on American valuation. This plan was announced last night by Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee just as he was leav- ing Washington for Michigan and points along the Pacific coast. He said that the idea is to “carry to the people” during the House recess the tariff exhibits presented in the Senate by Chairman Gooding of the republican tariff bloc and Chairman McCumber of the finance committee. The exhibits, he said in a statement, are “the strongest argument in the world for a tariff that will protect our industries and safeguard our workers, and when the tariff is finally n the basis of the Amgrican valuation of these articles, subject to ad valorem duties, the T'nited States will have @ real and protective tariff.” Mr. Fordney, who issued his state- ment just before leaving for Michigan and the Pacific coast, also quoted a letter from Representative Tilson, re- publican, Connecticut, who recently went on a special trip to Germany to refute statements by Senator Hitch- cock and other democratic spokesmen that “because wages and prices were increasing in Germany it was not necessary for Congress to pass the protective tariff bill at this session.” Mr. Tilson listed a number of arti- cles purchased in the industrial dis- trict of Germany and Mr. compared the prices paid for them there with charges for equivalent German articles in Washington retail stores. He also quoted Mr. Tilson to the effect that wages of skilled workers in Germany were relatively very low. SEE CONDITIONS IMPROVE Weak and Unreliable Customers Abroad Eliminated by Exporters. Collections by American manufac- turers and exporters are improving all over the world, according to re- ports received by the Commerce De.- | partment. This improvement is noted, A. J. Wolfe, chief of the division of | aws, declared last night, | commercial not as general in financial and eco- nomic conditions, but merely as the result of greater experience and care exercised by credit men. “Detailed recent reports from Latin American markets,” he said, “Indi- cate a startling change in the treat- ment extended to the weak and un- reliable customers to whom credit used to be given in the past by inex- perienced exporters. These small traders were refused credit by resi- dent Importers, but had no trouble in beguiling American exporters to grant sthem credit favors. The result was that while things were running smoothly and business was very good these buyers kept up payments fair- ly promptly, but when business be- came poor and stocks began to de- teriorate in value, while the ex- change kept going up, they adopted the natural expedient of shutting down on their payments to the im- mense aggregate financial loss of American shippers. Such was the toll of experience. “There has also been a noticeable falling off in disputes due to insincere and baseless fault finding with re- gard to quality of shipments and the demand for extortionate concessions.” —_——— The most semitive part of the hu- man body is the tip of the tongue.
