Official Inquiries Are Now
Being Made in
Baltimore
CAUSE OF DISASTER
MAY NEVER BE KNOWN
One Theory is That Fire Broke Out in
Bunkers of Tramp Steamer, Alum
Chine, and Spread to Dynamite-Be-
tween 40 and so Dead.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 8.-Inves
tain the cause and fix the blame for
the disastrous explosion of more than
300 tons of dynamite in the hold of
the British tramp steamer Alum Chine
lying at anchor in the lower barber,
which killed over 40 persons, seriously
injured so more, and caused a property
loss of 100000 yesterday.
One investigation has already been
completed by the city authorities, but
no definite conclusions were reached
because the accident occurred outside
the city limits.
The federal authorities will inquire
into the damage to the new naval col
ier Jason, which was lying close to the
dynamite ship, and which was about to
be accepted by the navy, and it is
probable that Investigation will be
undertaken by the interstate commerce
commission, which has jurisdiction over
the shipment of explosives in Ameri-
can waters
/ Because most of the crew of the
4
British consul here viii also investigate
tthe explosion, with a view to the pro,
lection of the interests of the fami
/ lies of the killed and wounded, and tc
make a report to the British admir-
atty.
The county coroner viii at once EN-
panel'a jury, and this probably vii
complete the number of inquiries il
attempting to fix the blame for the
disaster.
The authorities who have made d;
partial examination express the opinion
that the real cause of the explosion vii
never be known definitely, chiefly be
cause those who might give informa
tion were killed or so seriously maimet
that they will never be in position t,
make statement.
The theory most generally accepte,
is that coal in the vessel s bunker
caught fire from spontaneous combus
ton, and that the flames spread to tn
dynamite.
Definite knowledge as to fatalities i
still lacking, but the casulties vii
probably total between 40 and so dea
| and as many more seriously wounded.

REGRET WILEs OF AGENT.
Palmer Residents See Police, but No
Evidence of Swindle Is offered.

PALMER, March S.-The police We're
asked yesterday to take some action in the
way of prosecution Of group Of canvass
ers who have been taking subscriptions for
a magazine in this town Of late. 1t appears
that many subscriptions have been taken
and paid for, and some of those who have
paid fear they have been swindled,
An Investigation brought out the fact
that five young men and two young women
have been here on this business. They
have taken subscriptions as o..arged, but
so far as can be learned they have a per
feet right to do 50. Ne evidence Of any
swindle has been found. II the magazines
are delivered as agreed, the transaction is
proper enough and it is too early as yet
to Judge whether the contracts Will be full
filled or not.
The investigation brought snut the fact
that many business and professional peo-
pie gave subscriptions and paid their mon
ey. Some Of them regret it, but that is
not matter which gives the police any
authority to act. No charges have been
filed in the district court and none will be
so far as the police are concerned,

STATE TO PAY COSTS
IN CRIMINAL CASES
Important New Law Concerning Mu-
nicipal Courts Was Framed by
Judge William r. Daley of
This Town.

Municipal Judge William r. Daley had
introduced at the last session of the legis-
lature a bill in which he sought to have
the matter of costs of prosecution and the
payment of fines better and more equita-
bly adjusted as between towns and state
than they had been in the past. One of
the acts passed was No. 81 which covered
the ground he sought to have covered.
Under the previous statute the munici
pal court, in taxing costs of cases which
came before it, taxed costs for the states
attorney and the court, and in those cases
where the town had to pay the costs it was
obliged to pay the costs of the states at
torney and the municipal court fees and
these were turned over to the state treas
uTy.
For instance, in the case of a tramp who
was brought before the municipal court
the old statute provided that the costs of
prosecution should be paid by the town, al
though if the tramp was committed to
jail and put at hard labor such income as
there was from his labor was paid to the
state treasury, the town paying the cost
of prosecution which included the officer 5
fee for taking the cluprit to jail as well
as the fees of the states attorney and the
| court, both salaried officers of the state
| while the state received the income, if any
/ from the work of the prisoner.
| The new law covering this IS as follows
Section l. All fines imposed and col
lected by a city or municipal court against
a person for an offense or breach of pena
.law, other than for violation of city ol
village ordinance, with costs, shall belong
to and be paid into the state treasury.
| See. >. The cost of prosecution of al
criminal causes in city or municipal courts
other than those for the violation of {
city or village ordinance, shall be paiC
| from the state treasury.

FlTCHBURG, Mass, March s. The

business in this city. may soon locate in
Keene, n. II. jerome Mossman, proprie-

tion Is his inability to secure shop or
land on which to erect one in Fitchburg

price which would enable him to continue
in business at profit.
Mr.. Mossman said that on account Of
the nature of his business it makes very
little difference to him IN what place his
shop is located, provided it Is convenient
to a railroad, very little of the product be
ing sold in any one place, comparatively
speaking. Business can be done in small
city or town as we'll as in a larger one.
A short time ago an item appeared @
the effect that Mr.. Mossman was contem.
plating a change Of location. At that time

BUTTER Is ADULTERATED.
Revenue Service Test of Supply in
Storage in Chicago Shows Results.

CHICAGO, March S.-One half the
butter in cold storage in Chicago Is
adulterated in violation of the internal
revenue laws, the adulteration consist
ing of water moisture in quantities of
from 16 to 30 per cent of the actual
weight of the butter, according to an
nouncement by officials of the internal
revenue following an exhaustive test
of the Chicago butter supply eonclud-
ed today.
More than 100000 pounds of the
product has been siezed by the rev
enue agents, who say 100000 600
pounds has been shipped away since
the investigation began. Confscation
will result, it is expected, as a result
of numerous suits to be brought
against butter dealers for evading a
10 per cent per pound revenue tax and
other penalties.
Chicago. as the central butter mar
ket, has been under investigation by a
corps of special internal revenue
agents for several weeks. Seven ware
houses where the largest quantity of
butter is stored were inspected.

Of the hotel and site to a syndicate who
will erect a new hotel on the site, which
viii be the largest hotel in DaytOna. This
news will be of interest to many Brattle-
boro people and to the hotel people in gen
eral, among whom Mr.. Chamberlain was
well known. He is a brother of f. a.
Chamberlain and Mrs. r. E. Gordon of
this town. The Daytona Daily News of
Saturday contained the following account
Of the transfer:
THE Palmetto hotel property on South
Beach street, owned by c. o. Chamberlin,
was yesterday sold to Fl. Marshall Gardi-
ner the transfer constituting one of the
largest, if not the largest, individual sale
ever negotiated here. The transaction was
made direct between the parties.
'FMr. Gardiner, with the assistance Of
northern capitalists, proposes to replace
the present hotel with a large modern
hotel building, costing not less than half &
million dollars and probably for exceeding
that figure.
''The property Is we'll adapted for the
erection of a structure of this character
extends to Palmetto avenue with a great
er frontage on that street and hes between
Loomis avenue on the north and a private
street on the south, running from Beacl
street to Palmetto avenue.
Mr.. Gardiner has been looking for {
location for hotel purposes and recently
returned from trip down the coast a'
far as Miami with this object in view anc
considers the location selected as not only
the best in Daytona. but the best in the
whole state.
''While Daytona has a number of ex
cellent hotels, there is growing demand
for hotel such as intended for this prop
erty, with accommodation for 500 or 60t
people and the site chosen is really idea
with its beautiful outlook upon the Hall
fax river and its convenient accessibiht
from all sides. Possession is to be give
next November.
'fMr. Chamberhn purchased the Palmet
to hotel about IS years ago and has mad
the house very popular under his manage
ment. For some time, however, he ha
desired to be relieved from the care an
responsibility Of business during the winte
months and Mr.. GARDENERS propositio
furnishes the desired opportunity. Nj

TARIFF HAS
RIGHT OF WAY
President Wilson Will Recommend
Nothing Else for Action in Spec
ial Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Presi-
dent Wilson s present purpose it to
accept the proposal of the House lead
ers and recommend that the tariff
alone be acted upon at the extra ses-
sion of Congress-.
The President looks favorably on
the idea of having the House pass
set of tariff measures and put them
squarely before the Senate, bill by
bill. so that the attention of the whole
country may be focused on the upper
house of Congress and enable public
opinion to locate the responsibility for
the success or failure of the measures
Mr.. Wilson 5 present intention, he
has told callers, Is to recommend in
his special message to Congress that
the tariff be the chief work of the
session, and he expects to call attention
briefly to the need of currency legis-
lation. Upon the tariff alone, however.
has the Democratic party made up its
mind exactly what should be done, the
President believes, and while there is
a unanimity of purpose among those
pushing currency reform, there has
been no uniformity of measures pro-
posed. The President feels, it is said,
the necessity for currency reform at
the earliest possible moment, and
hopes that, when the work of the ex-
/ ira session is well under way and the
/ first of the tariff bills have passed the
/ Senate, he may take up with members
of the House the currency question
working out carefully with them a bill
/ that would be looked upon as a gen.
eral expression of the country's desire
