GAS EXPLOSION
 FOLLOWS SEARCH
 FOR LEAKING MAIN
Spark From Chris Haug's Wagon May Have Ignited Mixture
 of Gas and Air

Gas caused an explosion in Cannon street, this morning, which blew off the lid of one of the manholes of the United Illuminating Co.,, located in front of the Federal building, soaring a large number of people. The de- donation was heard for several blocks. No serious damage was done. Chris tian Haug, Jr., driver for Fitzpatrick & Hotz, electricians, had just passed over the manhole. The heavy iron lid was. lifted about feet in the air. J. S. Wooster, of the firm of Woes ter & Atkinson, who was passing a short distance away felt a sensation that made him want to dodge some of the buildings in the neighbOrhood that seemed likely to tumble.
 For the past two days workmen Go. have been drilling through the brick pavement to locate a leak that was first smelled coming through tho telephone tube in the store of the Rowland Dry Goods Co. The work men after drilling holes down to the main did not dare light a match over the holes, because of the large number of public utility conduits laid in the street, fearful that some of the sub- teranean chamber might be stored up with gas from the leak. After drilling a hole the workmen laid on their stomaclls and inserted their noses in the pavement to detect gas if possible.
 The spot where the gas leaked was located early this morning in front of the Taylor building and while tho men were engaged in excavatfng the explosion occurred at the naali1ole, located over a hundred feet away.
 Supt Charles Gerdtnter of the Gas-l light Co. was of tho opinior; that the explosion was due to @contT eEsfcn and ignition iii tho nanhoie, the vent. holes in the lids having become stop ' ped with frozen mud. Gas when mixed with air in the proportion or seven to one forms a highly explo- sive mixture which is readily ignitsd. A spark generated by Haug's wagon wheel against the iron manhole cov-1 CT may have ignited the explosive mixture.

WALL ST. HAS
 SELECTED. MAN FOR PRESIDENT
So Declares Senator LaFoilefte Should Elect National Dele gates by Direct Vote
Especial from United Press,

Madison, Wis, Jan. 6-Declaring that wall street has already selected the Presidential candidates of both parties for 1912,'' Senator LaFollette, in the current issue of his weekly, to- day. fires the first gun in a contest to give the people the right to elect delegates to the next National con- vention by direct vote.
 ITO Wisconsin" says LaFollettee, belongs the honor of enacting the first primary law for the election of delegates for the National convention by the direct vote of the people. The lesson is obvious. Every State in the Un.on should adopt a primary law providing for the election of delegates to the National conventions of 1912 by direct vote of the people. With such a law, the delegates chosen by the voters instead of by the machine managers, the National platforms of both parties will represent the inter ests- of the people rather than the in terests of the monOpolists.
 And every State should take an ad- vance step. Oregon has just pointed the way. Under the initiative, the people of that State voted for and adopted a law at the late election in November providing not only for the election of delegates to the National conventions but also providing that each voter shall at the April primary in 1912 have the opportunity of ex- pressing his choice for President and Vice-PreSident.
 wall street has already selected the Presidential candidates of both political parties There is just time to defeat the Wall street plan. Let the people organize and demand of every Leg stature the enactment of primary law for the election of dele gates to National conventions by df- rect vote, embracing provision that shall give to each voter the right to express upon his primary ballot his President.
 "Such a primary law will, beat the Wall street game and nominate and elect-a Pres dent for all the people of these United States.'

ELkINS' DEATH OPENS THE WAY
 FOR. THE ] DUKE
Miss EIkfns May Now Contract
 Morganatic Marriage if She Sees Fit
Especial from United Press,

Washington, Jan. 6-Despatches from Rome. today,S indicating that the death of Senator iEIkins would revive the famous marriage negotia- lions between Miss Katherine Elkins and the Duke of the Abruzzi. were given credit here. It is believed that the firm stand of Senator Elkins was one of the greatest barriers in the way of the romance. The King of Italy told Abruzzi that as a possible heir to the throne he could contract only q morganatic marriage with the American girl. The Duke argced with Senator Elkins. pointing out that the possibility of his becoming King was 80 remote as to ensure that the morganatic marriage would nev- ar be other than an unconditional wedding.
 One of Senator Elkins' friends, in telling of this incident, today. declar- ed that Elkins answered the Duke as follows:
 ''No, Never: The man who mar ries my daughter must marry her to such 0 proposition"
 IL is known that Mrs. Elkins great ly favored the suit of the Duke and it Is believed here that after the ex- mourning the negotiations will be re- vived. Senator Elkins' friends abso- lutely denied that he ever demanded elevation to royal rank.
 Rome. Jan. e.-That the death of United States Senator s. B. Elkins will re i've the negotiations for the marriage of his daughter, Miss Kath- erine, and the Duke of Abruzzi is the opinion of the Vatican press voiced, today 1t Is pointed out that one of the chief objections in the way of the wedding was the alleged demand of the West Virginia millionaire that he be elevated to princeiy rank so that he might attend social functions fin Italy and not be forced to take an unassuming position because of the fact that he was simply an American minister.
 The demand. it is said, enraged the members of the Royal household who were admirers of Miss Elkins but laughed at the pretensions of her father.
