Willis L. Moore, chief Of the United

tion" when the day turned out to be

lar conditions existed
In upholding the work of the bureau
Mr.. Moore says that 'il the past about

the United States weather bureau are
the equals of any in the world and
that "ff the department or congress
were to close a station Of the bureau
in any part of the United States the
property interests would demand it's

HAMBURG, Dec. S.-An explo-

lowed by an extensive fire and the
loss of many lives. Late tonight ten
men are reported dead, and II are

several persons fatally.
The explosion was due to a leak
in a new gasometer. The escaping
gas entered retort in the house,
where it came in contact with fire,
causing a terrible explosion. The
large list of dead and injured is due

largest in the world, having ca
pacity of 100000 cubic meters. The
city appropriated $S,500,000 for its
