Wishes To Abolish Drc Iges

New Orleans, January Believing that the future of the oyster industry in this state depends upon the abolition of dredge boats, President Frank M.
 Miller of the Louisiana game commits sion will urge upon that body the re- fusal when present contracts have run out to allow dredge boats to operate. This will affect several large eastern canneries, and will curtail much of the supply now going to eastern points. "The curse of the successful development of our oyster industry says President Mil- Ter, Ifs the dredge boat. Manned by fishermen, mostly imported each year from Baltimore, these men have only one ambition, that Is to take out of the waters the last oyster growing there."

WRECKS
 STORE BUILDING Three Young Women Clerks
 Are Among Missing MANY BADLY BURNED Front Wall of Store Is Blown Out By the Gas Explosion and Tangle of Wires Keeps People in
MANY BADLY BURNED

Connellsville, Pa, January 12-Mc- Cory's and 10-cent store at North Pitts burg and Apple streets was wrecked by a gas explosion today and the flames which followed communicated to adjoining structures.
 Three young women clerks are missing. two clerks and the assistant manager and a carpenter are in the hospital danger ously burned and injured. while dozen or more employees are at their homes suffering from injuries, more or less se- vere By noon the flames were under control and the property loss had been placed at s75,0Oo.
 It cannot be determined whether the list of missing will be increased until the debris from the collapsed walls have been gone over. There were customers in the store when the explosion occurred, but the exact number is not known, nor have their names been learned.
 The known missing are:
 Christobal Smith.
 Nellie Mitchell.
 Mary Wagner
 Several adjoining buildings were dam-' aged.
 There were about h customers in the store when the explosion took place. The front wall was thrown into the street and in falling carried with 1t large num- Der of electric wires. These were tangled in a mass and prevented, for a time, any thought of rescue for those impris- oned in the wrecked building.
 Ada Mitchell, the store piano player, who was sitting at the piano, was hurled with the instrument from the back of the building through its entire length and into Apple street.
 Four carpenters were at work in the cellar. Three escaped with slight burns. The fourth probably will die.
 Fire appeared to break out In all parts of the building at the same time and within a few minutes other walls be- gan to fall. Merchandise was scattered high upon the floors, many clerks being buried underneath.
 The walls of adjoining buildings be- gan to go down, but a party of res- curers had been organized and clear ing away the wires forced a passage into the 6 and 10-cent store. Here they located some of the stricken employees and customers and as each was found he
 
 summoned and those of the injured who | could not be cared for by physicians on the ground were hurried away to hos pitals.
 Uniontown responded to the call for help and sent fire fighting apparatus and a large force of men. These aided the | Connellsville department in completing the work of rescue and in fighting the fire, which was gaining rapidly. With the flames subdued it is hoped to recover the bodies of those believed to be in the ruins before night.
 l Later it developed that there had beer | two explosions, one in the Citizens Ma tional bank, whose front was also blowr l out.
 The cause of the disaster lies in the re- nioval of a meter, 1t is stated, and, ac. cording to Manager Poff, worlSmen neg lected to make the proper connections Gas escaping from the pipes filled tht store and probably the bank building This was ignited in some manner and the explosion followed.

(Pascagoula Democrat Starr
Two More Wells.

More intensified development of the
prospective oil field in the vicinity of the
Port of Pascagoula was ASSURED during
the current week. Work was begun
last Monday morning on two additional
oil wells, one at Laine, about three hun
dred yards west of de Lamorton Well
No. l, and the other On the Pollock
property on the beach, about one and
one-half miles southwest of Laine.
The Pascagoula Development Company,
the original prospectors in the promis-
ing field, and the Bellevue Oil Com
pany, Ltd, of New Orleans, are the
companies at work on the two new wells.
These wells will serve to test out wider
areas of the field, and, as the work pro-
crosses in each, more interested atten-
tion on the part of outside oil men will
be attracted. The first we'll at Laine
has proven a gas field, and this indi-
Gates the presence of oil in the vicinity.
The second well at Lame may bring in
the crude oil itself or result in an in
crease in the gas output of the field.
The we'll on the beach being drilled by
the Bellevue company may show the
presence of oil or gas, or both, at that
point also. In either event Pascagoula
must be benefited.

Gated by red pennant hoisted alone.

Wednesday Manager Guice received
a letter from the Loyola manager in
forming him that Loyola's foot ball
team could not accept our challenge, as
they had disbanded owing to injuries
received in the game with jefferson
College. The Stanislaus boys were
eager for chance to regain their lost
laurels, and the refusal to play was a
to them. AS that game
was to be the last this season, our boys
have slowed away their togs till next
season, and are preparing to organize a
basket ball team.

between the smaller boys of the senior
yard under Manager John Irwin and the
first eleven in the junior yard under
Manager John Faget. In the beginning
of the game victory seemed certain to
the seniors, but by the end of the first
half the kids seemed to have gathered
their grit, as the score was Il to in
their favor, and at the end of the last
half they were in the lead with an over
whelming score of "a to 5, even though
their opponents outweighed them by

were made by Ladnier's tackle bucks
and Fagot's end runs.

CAN COURTS
TAKE BOOKS?
Members Of Corporations Said
to Be In Contempt
Big QUESTION IS INVOLVED
THE RIGHTS OF THE COURTS OF
THE LAND TO EXAMINE BOOKS
OF CORPORATIONS WILL BE
DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT
OF THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, d, c.. March 1.-THE
extent of the power of the courts of
the land to examine the books Of cor
porations was question raised in a
series of cases before the supreme
court of the United States today for
argument.
VIM. Drier, secretary of the Lichen-
stein Millinery Co. of New York and
Christopher c. Wilson, president Of the
United Wireless Telegraph Co., a
Maine corporation, have both been de-
clared in contempt of court in New
York because they prevented grand
jury from examining the books Of their
respective corporations.
In the former case, the grand jury
was investigating certain alleged vio-
lations of the customs laws. In the
latter, the grand jury was inquiring
into alleged violations of the postal
laws.
