rlo LOCOMOTIVE BLAST KILS 1, HURTS 2 Explosion on Western Mary- | land Road Recalls Wreck % Fo_llowing Strike. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Mad., July 31.—Ex- plosion of a freigh engine on the Western Maryland Railway, Hagers- town division, one mile from Clear Spring about 6:30 o'clock this morn- ing, resulted in the death of W. G. Hammond, fireman, and the serious injury of John H. Tewalt, engineer, @and John M. Fleagle, conductor. The trainmen were employed some time ago to replace strikers, and al- 1hough no intimations are given that the striking trainmen or their sympa- thizers had anything to do with the tragedy it is recalled that investiga- tions are being made of a serious wreck last Winter on the Elkins divi- sion of the road and reports that it resulted from tampering with the brakes. The entire front end of the engine was blown out in the explosion this morning, the steam, hot metal and embers catching the enginemen and] conductor before they could escape. Jammond was almost instantly killed. Jle lived in Hagerstown and was mar- ried, but had no children. Tewalt and Fleagle were removed to the Washington County Hospital, where it was reported they have a chance of recovery, though are burn- £d_about the head and body. Railroad officials began immediate investigation of the tragedy. The wreck investigation is being conducted by the Interstate Commerce Com- smission.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 31.—A princess arrived on the Aquitania yesterday to visit “one of my two loves.” But the loves she mentioned were not people, but. countries—Spain and America. The princess was Mari de Bour- bon, a second cousin of the King of Spain. She visited here several years ago and today she said she had been 0 pleased with American ways that she has half a mind to live here always. “America is one of my loves,” she said, “and Spain is the other. Asked 1f she might not find a love more personal than a whole country and marry an American, she roplied that she could not discuss that, but “when I do marry it will be a man who loves me for myself and not for what my ancestors have been.” The princess came here to visit AMirs. B. G. Dahlberg of Chicago, who met her at the pie ARGENTINE WARSHIPS FIT. Minister of Marine Replies to Charges by Socialist. BUENOS AIRES, July 31 (#).— The Argentine battleships Rivadavia and Moreno, recently reconditioned in American shipyards, are in excellent condition and ready to discharge whatever service may be requiredof them, Minister of Marine Garcla de- clared yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies. His declaration was in reply ‘to charges by Deputy Antonio Tom- nlos, Socialist, that the two vessels had no real fighting value. EVERY AMERICAN IN CANADA SEEMS TO TAKE A DRINK __(Continued from First Page) for fun, you know, to hear the other protest. Some of the Americans make the mistake of taking their good wives into the, beer taverns with them. While this may be done with perfect propriety in the larger hotels, it is not done in the public drinking places, and when a respectable woman enters @ common beer tavern with her hus- »and she is subjected to such a bar- rage of curious stares that she's liable to spill her beer. After registering at a hotel the men,-and sometimes they take their wives along, but mostly the men by themselves, make a bee line for the nearest liquor store. Iam told that it is a common sight to see them thrust the package under their coats on leaving the place, and show some alarm when the traffic policeman toots his whistle. Habits of years are not broken in a day. There is nothing, however, so suggestive of law and order as a liquor store. There is often a crowd at each of the several wickets—but it's a crowd like that which lines up in front of the receiv- ing teller's window at home on the day after pay day. There's no shoving about or jostling. Everything is con- ducted in an atmosphere of dignified decorum. T am told that on days be- fore holidays and during the early days of December there are lines waiting at the windows that stretch for blocks, and that one must some- times wait for hours before get- ting his bottle. On an ordinary day, however, the crowd dribbles in and out. There's usually of you, maybe mo Price Lists on Walls. The price lists are displayed on the walls. Cognac costs from $1 for a 10- ounce bottle to $4.60 for a 40-ounce bottle; gin is about the same; rum from 90 cents for 10 ounces to $5.50 for 40 ounces—this 40-ounce bottle be- ing the largest quantity sold and cor- responding to something near the imperial quart; rye whiskies are from $1.60 for 13 ounces to $3.10 a quart; Bourbon whiskies from $2.50 for 16 ounces to $6.20 Yor 32 ounces, Irish whiskies and Scotch whiskies having about the same rhnge. Brandy costs around $4.75 a liter for all kinds while bottled cocktails retail at $2.25 a gquart. Ale and stout cost from 35 cents a pint to 65 cents a quart, and Chinese lquors can be had for $1.80 a pint. Champagne costs about $4.50 a. quart, but of course goes higher, some of the 1914 vintage of a famous brand selling as high as $7.75 a pint. There are white wines, red wines, and sparkling wines from Bordeaux, Bur- gundy and Moselle from $2.25 a pint to $4.75 a quart—and up. The Quebec Liquor Commission maintains an_of- fice in Paris for the purchase of Eu. rope's best wines, and they are - lected, it is said, with great care. Canadian wine can be had for as lit- tle as 40 cents a quart, and mass wines retail at $2 and $3 a gallon. ‘While many of the American men folk who come to Montreal for a day or so celebrate their urrival by song and story In the hotel corridors, one sees little of that sort of thing. Most of them are here with their families. The purchase of liquor is a mere in- cident in their tour, to be approached in much the same manner that one contemplates a sight-seeing tour in a rubberneck wagon. It is a common sight, for instance, to see some dear little grandmother who has accom- panied the children on their automo- bile trip sitting behind her glass of beer in the hotel with that expression plainly written on her face—“I'm going to drink the rest of this stuff if it kills me, but gosh, how I hate ig.” It would be an even bet that many of them never tasted a glass of real beer before in their lives, and they prob- ably go back to the United States wondering what all this clamor about beer can mean. Soft-Pedal Liquor Talk, The local tourists’ bureau and other such organizations which are inter- ested in bringing the Americans to Canada are apt to soft-pedal the liquor situation. They are not sure that it helps. They will make estimates for you in percentages of the number of Americans who come to Canada and who never touch a drop. But any man’s guess is as good as another where this is concerned. What seems to be the common impression among Canadians, and among Americans, too, is that it's a matter of personal honor with an American to take a drink in Canada so he can say he did when he goes back home. The tourists’ bureau claims, however, the liquor business is not bringing American tourists up to Canada.

C, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1926. 1915 there were less than 3,500 auto- mobiles which came into Since that year they have been steadily increasing in number. This, the Canadians argue, is the result of a systematic campalgn of advertising and propaganda afmed at bringing them here to enjoy touring through interesting and beautiful country over good roads. The ignorance of Americans concerning Canade is ap- palling, they say. I was shown a let- ter from a gentleman in Albany— which Isn't 8o far from Canada—in- quiring whether, if he brought his family for a tour, he could get any food outside of Montreal, and whether thero was any danger from Indlans. Many sportsmen who come hece to shoot bring revolvers with them to fight the human inhabitants of the Canadian wilds, i attacked. The Fourth of July is looked for- ward to edgerly by those who are in- terested in tourist arrivals, because the holiday brings many Americans to celebrate it. The irony of this fact does not' escape the Canadian, for he has a twinkle in his eye when he speaks of it. » Many red-blooded American or- ganizations are choosing Toronto as a fine convention city.

That list {s billed for this year, and there are a number which have al- ready made reservations as far in ad- vance as 1928, The Kiwanians conducted them- selves like pature’'s noblemen, accord- ing to the observers of conventions. As far as is known there wasn't a single claim by the hotels for dam- ages. So much cannot be said for a certain _chamber of commerce of a city in North Carolina. The members of the chamber not only had a rousing good time, but when seated for their first breakfast at two long tables in the hotel dining room of one of the largest hotels here the astonished walters found that the gentlemen had brought their bottles and every man had a quart of Scotch beside his place at BREAKFAST. After the waiters recovered the power of speech the gen- tlemen were asked please to remove the bottles to their rooms, and please, please not to bring them to breakfast any more. The verdict often heard from Ameri- cans up here is, “This s a great coun- try. We ought to try something like your system in our piace.” And while this may not be the prevailing opinion of Americans, even of those who come to Quebec, it is the opinfon that Cana- dians in general have come to believe is that of America. The woes of pro- hibition in the United States are talked about as much up here as the woes of prohibition in places that have tried it in Canada. It would not be sur- prising if much of the sentiment against prohibition in Canada resulted from what one hears about it in the United States. The Canadian who be- lieves what he hears,thinks that in America bars are run openly In every city, that bootleggers tear down the streets hourly shooting up the police force and that the majority of Con- gressmen keep slightly bunned-up at all times. S One African tribe inhabiting the neighborhood of Lake Chad has a curious marriage custom. The young men, on reaching the age of 18 years, draw lots for all the girls of 13, who become their wives. CAPITAL OUTRANKS NEVADA IN EXPORTS Total for First Quarter Also Ahead of Alaska—Virginia Shows Increase. ‘Washington outranked one State and one territory in the volume of ex- ports shipped from the Capital City during the first quarter of 1926. Com- modities exported from Washington during the three months ended March 81 were valued at $112,102, against $177,812 during the first quarter of 1926. Total exports last year were valued at $528,639. Household and personal effects con- stituted most of the shipments from ‘Washington in the first quarter of this year, being valued at $49,259. Motor boats, another valuable article of export, were valued at $15,150, while “other commodities,” according to the Commerce Department, made up the balance of $47,693. Nevada and the Territory of Alaska were behind the District of Columbla in valuation of exports during the quarter. New York Again Leads. New York State again led all others in exports during the first quarter, with shipments valued at $195,510, 071. Texas was in second place, its exports totaling $128,873,613 in value, while Michigan was third with ex ports valued at $71 828. Virginia, with exports during the first quarter of this year aggregat- ing $37,390,693, was in tenth place, its exports jumping from $31,364,311 in the first quarter of 1925. Maryland was in eighteenth place, with exports for the quarter aggre- gating $16,873,196, a considerable drop from the total of $22,032,038 for the first quarter of last year. The Texas exports decline was due chiefly to decreased shipments of cot- ton and lower prices for that com- modity. Total exports for the quarter were valued at $1,008,839,243, as compared with $1,250,769,000 for the first quarter of 1925 and $1,881,440,318 for the last quarter of that year. Of the first 10 States in the export olumn, only 4—Michigan, California, Ohio and Virginia—showed gains, while New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, New Jersey and Illinols suf- fered losses. Michigan’s gain, $18,000,000, was the largest, and helped boost her position from eighth to third place, while Cali- fornia, with an iIncrease of about $8,000,000, rose from sixth to fifth position. Pennsylvania, with a loss of $15,500,000, dropped from third to fourth; Loulsiana, from fourth to sixth; New Jersey, from fifth to sev- enth, and Illinois, from seventh to eighth. Ohlo and Virginia retained their ninth and tenth places, respec- tively. The department explained that the figures were based primarily on through bills of lading, and, conse- quently, in some States they repre- sented only a part of the exports, and for others they included goods pro- duced elsewhere.
