DISASTER
Boiler on British Battleship
Explodes- Three Sail
ors Killed.
BY United Press Wire.

London, Sept ia serious boiler
explosion, occurred late this afternoon
on the British battleship Warrior, off
Cromarty. Three sailors are known
to be dead and four have been ser
iously injured.
The admiralty has ordered a rigid
investigation into the causes of the
explosion. Recently there have beei
n number of sticks of dynamite found
in the coal that was being placed on
board some of the English warships.
and 1t is feared that todays explo'
sion may have been caused in this
way. Much OF this dynamite was
found before the coal was placed on
board the vessels, and the admiralty
investigation revealed the fact that
the dynamite was not of the kind
that was used at the mines, and that
1t had therefore been placed In the
coal by some persons with malicious
intent. Scotland Yards best officers
were put to work on the case. but as
yet have found no trace of the mis-
creants. Whether today's explosion
was caused by dynamite or by DE-
fective tubes in the boilers f. moi
known.
Cromarty, where the accident oc
Cured. Is on the coast of scotland.

NOT IN OHIO
Criticisms of Guardsmen Do
Not Apply in this
State.
INV IInIted Press wire.

Columbus, o., Sept. II Adjudant
General Charles G.. Weybright. OF
Ohio frowned deeply when he picked
up this weeks Saturday Evening
Post and read Captain Rupert
Hughes caustic criticism OF the ma
tional guard
"Well, not syllable of the critic
ism applies to the Ohio national
guard" exclaimed General Weybright
as he banged the paper down on his
desk. Captain Hughes, (who is New
York guard captain) may have been
looking at the New York guard when
he wrote, but he certainly knows
nothing of the Ohio soldiery, with its
high standard of efficiency and low
list OF the frills which Captain Hughes
criticises."
Just then Financial Clerk Lynch,
of the department, tossed on the desk
of General Weybrecht copy OF Col
llier's Weekly containing an article by
Major General Leonard Wood, com
raander of the Department OF the
East, and the ranking general of the
United States army. Weybrecht had
not read far when the wrinkles
from Hughes story ironed out and a
smfe spread over his face.
Bully for Wood" was the exclama-
tion.
Wood praised the guard and said
maneuvers should be held each yeal
whereas Hughes characterized the ma
neuvers as worthless and yet exposing
men to all sorts OF conditions and
weather.
General Weybrecht went through
the list of things criticised by Hughes
and specifically said that not con.
dition described in the article should
be found in the Ohio National guard
