THE 0|L EXPLODED
THREE MEN KILLED AND NINE INJURED ON BATTLEsHlP
 NORTH DAKOTA.
DEAD MEN WERE COAL PASSERS
The Men Were Experimenting With Petroleum as an Auxiliary Fuel Whom the Accident Occurred - Leaking Pipes the Cause.

Washington, Sept. i0.-The new bat tleship North Dakota, one of the two great dreadnaughts of the navy may be seriously damaged by an explosion on her during test of petroleum as an auxiliary fuel.
 Three enlisted men all coal passers lost their lives as result of the ex plosion and eight men including two warrant officers are badly injured al though they are expected to recover
 The North Dakota had been ordered to Hampton Roads where she will dock at Newport News to see what damage has been done to her boilers and interior.
 Damage Not Known.
 It Is not known whether she will be able to take part in the great gun target contest to begin September 12 on the Southern practice grounds off the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
 The North Dakota was one of the two battleships to try petroleum as an auxiliary fuel to coal The Deleware, the second dreadnaught Is also work Ing on the experiment.
 How long the ships have been using petroleum is not known here. The battleships were gathering at Hamp- ton Roads for their great annual gun practice. They had come down from the North Atlantic and it Is supposed both had been using petroleum under the test order by the navy department.
 It was learned that the direct cause of the explosion was leak in one of the oil pipes which caused the oil to spatter the floor and walls of the fire room.
 Enveloped In Smoke and Flame.
 It is supposed that the oil was ignited by coming into contact with an over heated part of the engine. Several of the injured men received their burns while trying to prevent he flames spreading to the tanks, and xplosion of which might have caused he total destruction of the sea fighter and possible loss of hundreds of lives. When the explosion occurred the North Dakota which was the end of tte first squadron was proceeding to Hampton Roads. She dropped out of line and in moment was enveloped In flames and smoke which poured from the hatches and ventilators. Some of the crew became panic stricken.
 One man. not injured by the expio- sion fell or jumped over board and was fished up by his mates.
 With fire and smoke all around them the hundreds of men on the ship did not know what had happened as the explosion was so sudden. The New Hampshire and Kan sas slowed down and stood by the burning ship.

members of the Ballinger- -Pinchot in
 Minneapolis, Sept. l0.-Oniy si' vestigatng committee, one less than quorum. were present when the ses sion opened. Senator Sutherland o Utah and two other Republicans, Rep resentative Samuel ". Mccall oI Massachusetts and Representative Ed win Denby of Michigan, refused to at tend.
 The failure of these three members to attend when the session was opened was decided on, following the arrival Of Representative Denby. Mir. Denby had declared that the action of five members who adopted resolution Wednesday of Representative Madison of Kansas, an insnrgent Republican. which charged that Secretary Ballin- ger was unit and should be removed. was tho most extraordinary, indefen- sible and unjudiciai that partisan poll ties could devise"
 Reason for stayinu Away.
 In view of that he said 1t would be absurd to meet with thoset members when they had already promulgated their decision.
 Sutherland and Mccall took a sim liar view and failed to put In an ap- pearance. Chairman Nelson was pres ent, as was Mir. Madison. and the meet ing was regularly called to order. The Democratic members In attendance were Senator Purcell, North Dakota Senator Fletcher, Florida, and Repre- sentative Ollie Nj. James of Kentucky and Representative James M. Graham of Illinois.
 Senator Root of New York. Senator Flint of California and Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania are not here.
 Soon after entering the committee room, the Democratic members affixed their signatures to their findings. which condemn the actions of MT. Bal finger as public officer and vindi- cate Clifford Pinchot, ex-chief of the forestry department.

 Shortly after the executive session began. the secretary of the committee. Paul Sleman, was designated sergeant at-arms and directed to find the ab sentees. if possible, and bring them in. In view of the positive declarations of Denby and the others that they would not attend. his mission seemed futile. The action was considered mere formality. Two of the members had left the hotel shortly before the com mittee met and Mir. Mccall remained in his room. When seen by the secretary the Re publican members refused to attend and sent q statement giving their reasons,

 Hope of opening the mines next Monday has been abandoned. It may be the last of next week before the S0,000 miners return to work. if that soon.
