 One man was blown to pieces by the explosion and four men, among them being Wilbur F. Watkins, a retired capitalist. of Westport, who was here for ds.eIass reunion, were sent to hos pitals severely injured

Notes
 Of Interest

The New Haven club claims a game by forfeit from Holyoke. It is alleged that on May 15 the clubs played a. tie game. According to the constitution this contest should have been played off when the teams met on June 16 but it was not. President O'Rourke said this morning there was nothing to do but give New Haven the game and fine Holyoke $50 in accordance with the constitution.
 President O'Rourke also announced today that New Haven can't send Pitcher Thomas to Hartford. It had previously released him to Worcester and the latter club is demanding the player. As the notice of his release to Worcester has already bden filed with the national board he belongs to the Massachusetts team.
 New London has released Third Baseman Eddie Ostrich. He didn't hit enough to suit Manager Burns. Irelan, who was secured from Rochester, is going well.
 Pitcher Freddy .Reiger of New Lon don is suffering from indigestion and has been ordered to lay off for a week.

WILSON CONFERS
WITH BURLESON
Government Ownership Of TEL
egraph and Telephones Topic
Discussed, Is Belief.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Although
Postmaster General Burleson In his
annual report favored the principle of
government ownership of telegraph
and telephone lines, President Wilson
has not taken position ON the ques-
ton and has not made up his mind.
The acknowledgement had long
conference with the President today,
and It Is understood that that was one
OF the subjects under discussion.
After his conference with the Pres
ident Mr. Burleson manifested an In
disposition to discuss the subject.
ut will take some time" he said,
ito work the problem out, to get facts
and figure on it,"
The postmast err general indicated
that he was In no hurry to press his
recommendations, and that he would
make complete survey of the sub
ject before further expressing him
self on 1t. 1t is certain, however, that
the subject will not be pressed by the
administration at this time, and the
Presidents desire not to take a po-
sitlon on 1t was taken generally to
mean that he did not consider 1t of
immediate importance.
