Aug. 30.—With a shock that was felt within a radius of forty miles the glazing mill of the American Powder company which since the outbreak of the European war, has been working to its capacity blew up early yesterday. So far as known nobody was killed. The actual money loss to the company. was not heavy, but it was stated that work on large orders wouid be held up probably for several weeks. Property owners in the surrounding towns, par- ticularly in Maynard, were heavy los- ers because of shattered windows. The mill had been closed down since Saturday afternoon and the police of this town and Maynard expressed the belief that the explosion had been caused wih intent to cripple the plant. Work at Standstill, An official of the company said that it would take several weeks to install new machinery and that until this was done, work would be at a standstill. He pointed out that the glazing mill, where the powder enters upon its last stages of manufacture, is the only part of the plant whose loss at this time would stop the output. Provision is made for the occasional explosions that occur by having duplicate parts in readiness, but the only other glaz- ing mill in the plant here was de- stroyed by lightning a little more than a month ago- Armed guards have been stationed about the works several weeks ,but the mills are widely separated in an isolated part of the town and the dense woods and shrubbery in the vicinity offer easy concealment for any one wishing to aveid discovery. Shock Felt Forty Miles. Yesterday’s detonation was unus- ually heavy. The shock was felt dis- tinctly as far north as Manchester, N. H,, about forty miles distant. The police last night, after a day of investigation, were unable to cast any light on the mystery of the explosion. Nobody had entered the mill,so far as could be learned since it was shut down Saturday afternoon and none of the guards was in the immediate vicinity when the powder went off. From various circumstances in con- nection with the case the belief pre- vailed that if the mill was purpose- ly blown up it was done by a person familiar with the situation and well acquainted with the vicinity and with the movements of the patrol. Spies Reported in Town. For the past few weeks there have | been reports that spies were in town, (ol GRANTS MRS. FAIR'S SISTER’S APPLICATION Stamford Probate Court Allows Ad- ministration on Estate of Alleged Murdered Woman. Stamford, Aug. - 30.—The probate court Saturday decided to grant the application of the sister, Mrs. Whilow of Bieland, Kas., for letters of admin- jstration on the estate of Mrs. Mar- garet Fair ¢of Darien. who is supposed to have been murdered. A woman’s “pody found in the woods in Darien in June 1914, was subsequently iden- tified as that of Mrs. Fair. The court In its action refused.to grant-a continuance of the hearing requested by Mr. Keough of Norwalk, counsel for Fred Fair whose whereabouts are unknown at present. The attorney said it would cost his client $50, to _reach the court room. <. State Policeman Verrilli testified that he found in the Fair house a scrap of paper which apparently had come from Glenbrook. It was ad- dressed to Fred and signed Margaret. It read to the effect that the writer wanted Fred to pay to her sister at once $300 obtained on her earrings and to let her sister know where she _was. S State’s Attorney Cummings who has been following the case, said that when the Fair house was searched nothing in the shape of a bill of sale or transfer of jewels was found. Sub- sequent to Mrs. Fair's disappearance the woman's jewelry was pawned. Fair and Jack Devereaux who were living on the Fair place in Darien were arrested charged with knowl- edge of Mrs. Fair’s death. They were bailed and their whereabouts are un- known to the police. Mrs. Fair's es- tate is thought to be worth from $5,000 to $10,000- bt ‘so fdr as could be learned the po- lice have no one under surveillance. A man found on the road leading from the mill soon after the explosion, was detained. but was reieased upon giv- ing a satisfactory account of his move- ments. A cartridge factory has been opened recently in the .neighborhood of the powder works and it was understood last night that until the glazing mill had been replaced work in the filling of cartridge orders would be greatly handicapped™ Two Killed at Du Pont Plant, Wilmingtory Del,, Aug. 80.—Two workmen were instantly killed and considerable damage was done to property by an explosion of two black powder mills of the Du Pont Powder company in the Upper Hagley Yards yesterday near here. The victims are Lawrence Cunningham, aged 46, of this city, and Hugh Gillespie, 35, of Hazelton, Pa. The two reports were terrific, being heard more than a doz- en miles away. Hundreds of windows in nearby houses were broken. Sev- era]l hundred pounds of powder ex- ploded, completely destroying the mills. The tirst to go was a fuse mill. This set off a second plant nearby. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Officials gave out a statement for publicity to the effect that the blow-up was probably due to a spark or grit in the powder, but in some quarters it is considered taat spies in the employ of some European power are responsible. Several weeks ago Cunningham, who was killed today, dragged his brother safely from a burning mill following a powder explosion. Mysterious Fire at Canton. Baltimore, Aug. 30.—The plant of the E. J. Codd company, machinists, at Canton, a sururb, was damaged by fire of mysterious origin last night. The company recently obtained a sub- contract for the manufacture of shrapnel castings and the shops were being refitted for the work. It is feared that a considerable part of the machinery was damaged. Three large storage oil tanks fifty vards away weré not reached by the flames. OYSTERS NOT “GONE UP.” Animal Food Has Not Increased in Cost For Twenty-five Years, ‘Washington, Aug. 30.—The food that has not “gone up” is. the title of the government’s latest cook book, issued today through the bureau of fisheries. It contains one hundred recipes for preparing the bivalves as well as a little of their history w ten by IL F. Moore, deputy commis- sioner of fisheries. “An animal food which practically has not increased in cost for twenty- five years, and the production of which has kept pace with the growth of population” Mr, Moore says “is a present day anomaly worthy of pub- lic attention, especially when its price brings it within the reach of all and its excellence leaves little to be de- sired. This is the case of the oyster.” Bosje o OB Pt S i %M:w' g o LoSS OF SLEEP.

Y., Aug. 30.—Theo- dore Marburg, former American min- ister to Belgium, and one of the or- ganizers of the League to Enforce Peace, outlined the purposes of that organization in an address before the Lake Placid club here yesterday. By way of illustrating these purposes Mr. Marburg discussed the question, often asked, he said, as to the attitude of the United States should Japan ac- quire by purchase Magdalena Bay from Mexico, or'Germany the Island of St. Thomas from Denmark. The question, he said, was not so difficult as it appeared. As it would involve an issue of political policy it would go, he declared, to the Council of Conciliation, and not t the judicial tribunal. “But it is conceivable,” Mr. Marburg added, ‘‘that the league may endow the Council of Conciliation, as well as the World Court, with powers of injunction. In fact, this must be done if the institutions are to prove practical. Suppose now the Council of Conciliation which entertained our complaint should decline to recognize the Monroe Doctrine on the ground that it is not a part of International | law and is not based on reason and, justice. What then? The United States would be no worse off than un- der conditions at present existing. It would be free to go to war over the question without threat of the league taking action against it, Touches on Preparedness. Touching then upon the subject of preparedness Mr. Marburg said: “When a League of Nations shall see to it that States no longer make war except for good caus a. sense of security will settle down on the world and old shibboleths will die away. So likewise will abatement of armaments come—not suddeny through an in- ternational agreement, but gradually through disuse. Just as individuals +gradually abandoned the habit of carrying arms when they found that the State was protecting them so na- tions will, of their own accord, grad- ually discontinue extravagance mili- tary preparation when they find it no longer needed- Unfortunatels under existing conditions, we do nee It still and it is the height of folly for a rich State to neglect it.” George Grafton Wilson. George Grafton Wilson, professor of international law at Harvard Uni- versity, declared that the League L Enforce Peace introduced an element | ! male organism. A Practically Perfect Preparation. YEARS of experience have enabled Mr. Fletcher to make Castoria a Practically perfect preparation, These years lof lahor: the amount of money required to intvoduce its merits to the public: the investment in its manufacture, including the most modern machinery, mean & vast amount of invested capital. It follows that the greatest care is exercised in the selection of each ingredient, and the greatest attention is paid to every detail of its preparation. The result is the practically perfect preparation in the finished product ; Fletcher's Castoria, Herein lies the guarantee of the absolute safety in the use of Fletcher's Castoria, for the baby, and the warning against irresponsible makers of imitations and counterfeits. The signature of Chas. H. Fletcher that is printed in black on the wrapper and red on the hottle is the mother's safeguard, Extracts from Letters by Grateful Parents to Chas. H. Fletcher. Mrs. John W. Derrick, of Lexington, S. C., says: “My children cry for Castoria, I could not do without-it.”” Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Gaines, of Ripley, Tenn., say: ‘“We enclose our baby’s picture hoping it will induce some poor tired mothers to give your Castoria a trial. We have used it since baby was two weeks old.’” Mrs. J. G. Parman, of Nashville, Tenn., says: “The perfect health of my baby is due to your Castoria—the first and only medicine he has taken. He is never satisfied with one dose, he always cries for more.’’ Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Johnson, of Stevens Point, Wis., say : ‘“When our baby was two weeks old he gried so much we did everything for him, then got some Castoria and he is now strong and fat. We would not be without it, and are very thankful to you.”” GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS BEARS with which those guiding the affairs of states have been accustomed to reckon. “It proposes,” he said, “to introduce economic and military force to secure the maintenance of international ob- ligations. The league would apply to international affairs the system - that has been found practical in internal administration in civilized states. Political Organizations, “States as political organjzations,” he continued, “seek the public ends and successful leaders convince their followers that theirs is the way to realize the public well being whether it be ‘four more years of the full dinner -pail’ or prohibition.” Professor Wilson asserted WHAT $10 DID FOR THIS WOMAN The Price She Paid for Lydia E.Pinkham’sVegetableCom- pound Which Brought Good Health.

When “peace is the best policy,” he added, “its support will be more as- sured . Sanction Hitherto Lacking, “The League of Peace also puts be- hind international ~agreements a sanction hitherto lacking,” Professor Wilson declared- “It has been as- sumed that treaties of the last cen- tury shows how far this is from the fact: This reason is simple. There has been no effective sanction' be- hind the treaty. The league would afford such a sanction, particularly securing the safety and inviolability of small states.” John A, Stewart. John A. Stewart, chairman of the American Peace Centenary commit- tee, declared the league *is a prac- ticable plan prepared by practical men for an end which they regard as practicable of accomplishment after the European war is over. " The league will fail in its mission, he said, “if it go on the assumption that it will be able to bring all na- tions into membership,” or having brought them into it, that that act alone will prevent war. ‘The best that it can hope for,” he said, “is to bring a preponderance of the world’s financial, physical and moral force into one compact, mobile, obedient organization, bound together by ties of selfish interest as wel] as by friendship, and above all by an all pervading moral sense and belief in the justice of the cause which they are undertaking to maintain, ORDERED TO AVOID NEUTRAL TERRITORY Germany Informs Holland That Kaiser’s Airship Was Driven Over Dutch Soil by Contrary Winds.

SMOKING ROOM FOR OLD WOMEN INMATES Ramsey County Poor Farm to Erect New $150,000 Building for Females, St. Paul, Aug. 30.—A silent little group of gray-haired women, some of the grandmothers and some great grandmothers, resting easily in com- fortable rocking chairs with thin, blue ribbons of smoke rising from their merrschaum and calabash pipes will be one of the modernisms at the new $150,000 women’s building now in progress of completion at the Ram- sey county poor farm, For the old ladies are to have an elaborate smoking room, fitted in modern style, and said Mrs. Albert Moore, wife of the farm superintend- ent today, “if the dear old souls want the walls covered with pictures of race horses, prize fighters and base- ball players, they may have them.” “When we took a poll of the old ladies regarding the establishment of a den for smoking,” she continued, “there was hardly a dissenting vote. We shall furnish the tobacco and we expect the ’smoker’ to he one of the most popular places of the institu- tion.” Several of the old women are plan- ning to color meerschaum pipes, while others declare they will retain their cob pipes despite their contrast to the furnishings.
