Amendment Admitting War Balloon
Without Duty Has Been De-

Washington, Feb. 3.—By the over-
whelming vote of 1G1 to 90 the house
of representatives Tuesday rescinded
the action of the house In committee
of the whole house and knocked out
the appropriation of $300,000 voted on
last Saturday for war ballons. In ad-
dition, the house also defeated the
Gaines amendment admitting free of
duty war balloons and balloon ma-
terial, the vote on this issue being a
strictly party vote. The overturning
of the will of the committee of the
whole house was accomplished with-
out debate. Brig. Gen. Jame3 Allen,
chief signal officer of the army, ex-
plained Tuesday that it would be im-
possible to devote more than a small
amount of the regular signal corps
appropriation for maintenance to
aeronautics. "If Tuesday's action of

about ten miles west of Ensley, on
the Birmingham Southern railroad,
and are difficult of access. The sev-
enteen bodies were taken from the
mines Tuesday morning and the rooms

self is practically uninjured.
