FIRE WIPES OUT MILLION
Medical Supply Department of United
States is Burned,


New York, Feb 5.-For the second
time within two years the medical
supply department of the United
States army was burned out of its
headquarters on the lower West side
waterfront, this time with loss esti-
mated at $750,OO0 to $1,OOO,OOO. There
was no loss of life, but frequent ex-
plosions from 1900 cases of gasoline
1000 cases of benzine, 500 gallons of
turpentine and large quantities of
alcohol made the work of the firemen
highly perilous.
Major Edwin P Wolfe, in command,
was badly singed in one explosion and
but for the timely arrival of hook
and ladder company would have been
burned to death. The cause of the
fire is unknown.
A consignment of medical supplies
for the Panama canal zone valued al
$4,000, was among the goods de
stroyed, and 1t is feared serious
shortage on the isthmus will arise
The high pressure water service
worked sad havoc in the adjacent
property. One stream tore through a
dwelling house window and almost
drowned Mrs. Mary Kass, 20 years
old, who was caring for her two
grandchildren.

DAIRYMEl PLANNING BIG FIGHT
MILK PRODUCERS IN NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN CHICAGO.
Protective Association Consider
Methods by Which to Obtain
Larger Share of the Profits.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The national con
vention of the Milk Producers Protec.
tive association, the largest of the
kind ever held, opened to-day in Y. M.
G. A. auditorium on La Sale street
The organization has $500 members
in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and a
part of Michigan, and in addition to
hundreds Of these members, large
number of invited delegates came
from every part of the country where
there are producers associations.
The dairymen gathered with blood
in their eyes, for they say they are
tired of seeing the retailers get the
lions share of the profits in the milk
business, and are determined to force
a more equitable division. Unless the
retailers capitaulate before March Is,
the day on which the price schedules
are signed between the producer and
the distributor, open warfare is likely
the convention is considering is to
have the producers establish their
own distributing stations, bottling
plants and routes, and deal directly
with the consumer. This does not
mean that the price of milk to the
consumer will be reduced, for the pro-
ducers all agree with their secretary
]. P. Grier. that milk at eight cents
a quart is not too high. The cost of
producing. they say has advanced
| greatly in the last few years, owing to
the increased cost of cattle food and
labor.
The producers of the northern ILL
nois district have about decided to
re-establish their own creameries
which were sold to the Borden com
pany ten or fifteen years ago. This
would act as an outlet for much Of
their product.

DESIGN CAUSED
BATTLESHIP EXPLOSION
Navy Board Makes Report About
Oil Apparatus on the
North Dakota

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Faulty
installation and design of the oil burn
ing apparatus on the dreadnaught
North Dakota were responsible for the
accident on that battleship on the Sth
instant, whereby three men We're killed
and eleven injured, according to the
report of the investigating board.
The explosion occurred near Hamp-
ton Roads. The board took much tes-
timony, the most important coming
from Lieut.. Commander Orin G. Muir
FIN, in charge of the ships machinery.
He told in a graphic way how he had
personally started two of the oil burn
ers and was at work turning on the
third when there was a flash which
seemed to run along the pipes and
around the separating tank.
He ordered abandon fire ROOM in
stantly, but so fierce was the fire that
although everyone rushed for the door
in the bulkhead three men perished
probably being cut off in the bunker
by the flames and noXious gases.
Touching the faulty design of the
system the board found there was a
leak in the oil pipes which permitted
the escaping oil to drop upon the su-
perheater, causing it to flash and fire
the oil in the setting tank.
The board finds that no blame for
the fire or the damage therefrom at
taches to anyone serving on the North
Dakota.
Every possible precaution was taken
and everything was done after the ex-
plosion to limit the damage. So far as
the board could ascertain all officers
and men acted with the utmost
promptness and efficiency. The dam
age to the structural fittings was not
extensive and couli be repaired in ten
days by the ships own force. No fur
ther proceedings are recommended.
The plant is of German origin and
was installed by contractors who built
the North Dakota at Fore River. As
they guaranteed the performance of
the machinery for six months it is
believed they must make good the
damage.
Engineer-in-C Chief Cone, commenting
upon the report, says it contains moth.
ing that will prevent the continued use
of oil as a naval fuel.
