EIGHT LIVES TAKEN INFACTORY BLASTS Toledo Boiler Compound Plant Visited by Mysterious Pair Before Explosions. By the Assoclated Press. TOLEDO, Ohio, September 22.—Four bodies were taken from the ruins of the | Carl ‘Weber Manufacturing Co. plant | here early today after a series of ex- plosions in the bullding were follewed | by fire. The explosions shattered the second story of the brick building and | blew out a wall. The bodies of the four persons were not identified at once. The first esti- mated of the building damage was $15,000. The cause has not been de- termined.’ Search for additional bodies was begun at once. Evidence of Still Found. 1 The Weber Co. is listed as manufac- | turers of boiler compounds and iron preservatives. When firemen entered the burning plant they said they found evidences of a large distilling layout in the building, including two large stills, two 550-gallon tanks, 300 one-galion eans and an assortment of copper (Inkfil and tubing. | An ‘explosion of a still caused the fire, Richard Lawler, district fire chief &aid. Identification of the four who were killed in the blast is expected to be difficult, owing. to the condition of the | bodies. - | Mysterious Visit Reported. A resident of the vicinity said that | at midnight, 20 minutes before the blast, he saw a large automobile pull | up in front of the factory. Two men went into a rear dtaor. stayed a few | minutes and departed. The building is owned by John A. Freeborn, whe said he did not know the names of the tenants as the building was leased by his attorney. The attorney, William C. Rowe, said # man who gave his name as Carl J. Weber, Cleveland, rented the building the latter part of July for a boller com- pound factory. RUBBER HEELS FOR SAFETY. Decatur Starch Manufacturer Acts fo Avoid Fatal Blast. By the Associated Press. DECATUR; Ill, September 22.—Rub- ber heels must be worn hereafter by all employes working in “danger zones™ of the A. E. Staley starch manufactur- ing plant. A. E, Staley, president, hopes in that way to avoid another such ex- losion as shook the plant Saturday, illing four and severely injuring three others. ‘The entire east side of town was shaken by the explosion of dust in the processing plamt. Two men were blown through windows. Two score others were slightly injured. Flames and gas filled the facory. A spark from a metal cleat on some one's heel has been suggested as the most likely cause of the explosion. The dead were: Charles N. Smith, 30; Clarence Easterly, 37; Davis Easterly, 32, and Charles Loeffier, 39. . WEYLER CRITICALLY ILL Veteran of Spain’s Colonial Wars Fights for Life. MADRID, ' September 22 (#).—Capt. Gen. Valeriano Weyler, who only last ‘Winter recovered from a severe attack of pneumenia, today was winning an- other battle against critical iliness. Physicians were surprised-at the mar- velous recuperative strength of the 93-year-old veteran 6! Spain’s colonial wars. The general was taken from his estate in the Balearic Islands to his home in the Spanish capital when he became ill Jast week. TIENTSIN’S SEIZURE BY MANCHURIAN CHIEF CONFUSING TO CHINA (Continued From First Page.) has any intention now of practically reversing his old policy and rendering active aid to Nanking. Customs May Give Cue. The troops leaving Tientsin will be ready for a new offensive against Nan- king in the Spring, whereas remaining in Northeastern China they were threatened with a decisive clean-up campaign by Chiang Kai Shek. It was felt that perhaps the cue to Chang’s real sympathies would come with his attitude toward the Tientsin | maritime customs, which Yen, through | Bertram Lennox Simpson, English nov- elist, as commissioner, has been col- lecting and diverting io his own uses. Notices posted in Tientsin by the Manchurian officials said that these customs would be taken over by the recognized Nanking officials. Approach of Manchurian troops to Peiping_recalled to residents here the | day, 27 months ago, when Chang's| father, Chang Tso Lin, marched out of | Peiping with his troops and retreated | to Manchuria, leaving the old Northern capital to the advancing victorious Southern army with its allegiance to Nanking. 01 Leader Killed. Chang Tso Lin’s life after his leave- taking then was of brief duration. His son, Hsueh-Liang, assumed the gover- norship of Manchurla after his assas- sination, and after months of doubt Nanking flags appeared at Mukden. There followed the trouble with Soviet Russia over the Chinese Eastern Rail- way, during which Nanking rendered Chang some aid. During the last six months, while Nanking has been engaged in a life and death battle with troops of Yen Hsi Shan and the Northern coalition, Chang has sat peacefully at Mukden. His father frequently profited from such- situations as ‘thes Gen. Tan Yen-Kai Dies. NANKING, China, September 22 (). ~—The death was announced here today of Gen.

Ambassador Gibson as Hoover’s Sole Week End Guest Held Significant in View of Soviet BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. It is considered significant that the only week end guest taken by President Hoover to his Summer camp at Rapidan | should be Hugh 8. Gibscn, Ambassador to Belgium, who arrived from Europe Saturday on a short leave to seitle some per- sonal ~matiers * in connection with his mother’s death. Ambassador Gib- son is not only the best informed American diplo- mat on naval affairs but knows a good deal about Russian affairs. He has been American Ambassador to Poland in those critica! rs when the Soviets | were most active in their endeavor to force a world revolution by direct action. In view of the fact that a number of Senators and oiher influential Amer- Constantine Brown. of the Soviet regime because it has proved to me a de facto government and because the State Department is firmly decided to continue the policy of having no relations with the Sovie government, the President and other responsible members of the cabinet are examining carefully all the data con- ceining the Soviet activilies in the last few years, especially since the idea of violent action in well organized coun- tries had been abandoned by the leaders of the Third Internationale. Retain Same Intentions. It is a fact that since the Soviet Re- public has been recognized by the most important countries in Europe the rulers of Russia have pledged themselves not to indulge in Communist propaganda. They - have officially kept that pledge. But the policy of ove:ithrowing the capitalistic regime in Western Europe and America certainly has not been abandoned by the heads of the Soviet Republic. A careful ‘survey of Bolshevist activi- ties shows that the rulers of Russia have adopted a policy of weakening capitalistic states economically in the hope that economic depression would cause unemployment which would eventually cause social unrestsleading to revolution in the most conservative countries. 5 The fruitful resulfs of such a policy were proved in China. The Soviets, helped the Chinese civil war. The lead- ers of the third internationale were fully aware that communism could not be established in that huge territory, but dividing China into warring fac: would hit the United States, Japan and ‘especially Great Britain. Results of Chinese War. The results of the Chinese civil war have been more than satisfactory, de- spite the fact that the Chinese generals have expelled all the Bolshevist agents. British economic losses in China were extremely serious .and many factories in Lancashire were compelled to close down. Since 1927 British trade with China has decreased considerably and # good many workers have been added icans are now. advocating recognition | through their agents, “have materially | Russia’s Place Now in Spotlight. |to the unemployed list as & result of the chaotic situation in that republic. Bolshevist agents. according to Brit- ish military authorities, have playggl an | important “role in fermenting ble in India. The economic boycott which has been introduced in India in con- nection with Ghandi’s movement has harmed the British more than the riots which have occurred since April of last year. It was estimated in London that more than 35,000 workers | have been thrown out of work as a |Tesult of the Indian boycott. -Bolshe- | vist agents continue their insidious | work now in Egypt and in the middle east. | _ America seeemed for a while to the | Soviet leaders an unapproachable ter- | ritory on account of its great | perity. Since it became obvious, how- | ever, that an economic depression was | spreading over this country, Soviet au- | thorities have begun to direct their | attention to this country, too, | Aims Are Set Forth. A ‘passage from 4 confidential re- | port which has fallen into the hands of certain agents, who keep a keen lookout on Soviet activities, reads as follows: “The economic depression and un- employment in the . United States should offer a good field for the ac- tivities of American Communists. The working classes in the United States have been accustomed to a higher standard of living than any other work- | ers in .the world. The.fact that their earning capacity has diminished will be feli by them keenly. | industrial workers have America only in the last 20 years. | They have not been assimilated yet and should consequently prove useful | subjects for the Communist idea. If | the economic depression were to con- tinue, the number of unemployed will necessarily increase. On account of the large number of foreign workers, America should under such- circum- stances offer a better field than Great Britain for Communist activities.” Wheat Dumping Incidental. Dumping of wheat is considered of & minor importance. The work of the Soviets is much deeper than that. It |is true that in the last 12 months the | Soviets have purchased in the United | States manufactured products for some- | like $250,000,000. This. fact would at | fir:t seem to deny the Soviet inten- | tions qf increasing America’s economic | depression. For those who follow close- ly the activities of the Soviet this fact is not convincing. The Soviets intend, it is said, to dump as much stuff in the world markets as they can produce | at very low prices. This dumping policy is bound to af- | fect highly industrialized States because | the industries in Russia are all in the hands of the government and do not have the overhead expenses that other | industries have. ‘There are no di- | rectors’ fees, no dividends and no taxes | to be paid.” An fllustration of Soviet | activity is its buying on -credit sugar {on the London market and selling its | beet root sugar production to Persia | at a lower price and for hard cash. | These activities of the Soviet will shortly be scrutinized by the Washing- | ton administration and necessary steps | to couneract this new move of the third international are likely to be_ taken.

By the Associated Press. Preparing to advance the Fall cam- paign at Boston next Saturday, Chair- man Fess of the Republican National Committee today expressed the view that prohibition would have to be ignored as a national issue in this elec- tion, inasmuch as both parties are wide- ly divided on the controversy. “It s silly to talk in this campaign of prohibition as a national issue,” he said. “There are wet Republicans and There are wet Democrats. “I think prohibition is a social and economic problem and it would be con- sidered outside of polities. Personally, as a dry, I would welcome a wet issue, but I don’t see how it can be done.” Senator Fess ‘will go to Boston Satur- day to deliver the keynote address to the Massachusetts Republican conven. tion.
