rescued. Two bodies were seen float

were still pouring streams OF water
into the wrecked steamer.
Carelessness of machinist's helper
was reported to have caused the ex-
plosion. Fiiten men, including the
crew and twenty machinists, who were
making repairs preparatory to the. Mo-
hawks departure for Tuxpan, Mexico,
were on board. A helper was declar-
ed to have dropped a washer into the
hold below the fire room. Seeking to
recover it, he is believed to have car
ried a lighted candle, which caused
combustion among gases generated in
the hold.
The explosion was heard for many
miles. A 200-foot flash of flame, a col
umn of smoke, the defamation, vol
cano of debris and the Mohawk settled
aft while fire boats, wrecking tugs and
other harbor craft hurried to the
scene from all directions.
A score of men who were blown

fRfE SUGAR COMES IN 1916
PRESIDENT WILSON'S TARIFF
POLICY Is OVERWHELMING.
LY APPROVED.
Approval of Schedules Comes After a
Debate in Caucus by
Democrats.

Washington.-Free sugar in 1916
and free raw wool are now establish
ed in the tariff revision bill, having
been approved by the Democratic eau
Gus of the senate. The sugar SEIZED
ule as reported by the majority mem
bers of the finance committee and
practically as 1t passed the house was
approved by vote of 40 to 6. Free
raw wool as submitted by the ma
jority and just as it passed the house
swept the senate caucus by a vote of
Al to 6.
This ratification of President Will
sons tariff policy, he having insisted
upon the wool and sugar propositions
before the ways and means committee
in the beginning, came after a long
series of developments since the tariff
bill passed the house in which the
president had an active participation.
When the fight of the anti-free SUI
gar and anti-free wool Democrats was
getting hot the president issued a
public statement declaring that any
suggestion of compromise on the wool
and sugar schedule ideas was abso-
lutely out of the question and later
he stirred all administration leaders
to action when he made his charge
about the existence in Washington of
an "insidious lobby" investigation, of
which has brought results regarded
as favorable to the tariff bill.
The six Democratic senators who
voted against free sugar or the final
vote approving the schedule were
Hitchcock, Nebraska; Newlands, Ne
vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louis
lana; Shafroth, Colorado; Walsh, Mon
tana.
The six who opposed free raw wool
to the end were Chamberlain of Ore
gon; Newlands, Nevada; Ransdell and
Thornton, Louisiana; Chafroth and
Walsh.

date on which the new sugar tariff
shall go into effect upntil March 1,
1914, and change of date when the
income tax shall be operative from
January 1, 1913, to March 1, 1913,

The committee also adopted an
amendment which would put stamp

Extension of time on the sugar
schedule, Chairman Simmons announc-
ed, was agreed to in order that SUI
gars purchased under the Payne-Ald-
rich rates can be disposed of without
the handicap of the effect of reduced
tariff rates. The date upon which the
income tax can be computed for the
first year was changed to March for
the reason that the date in the bill,
January l, 1913, would make the Sec
ton unconstitutional.

Gettysburg GaiIy Decorated With Blue
and Gray for Reunion Of Veterans.
Gettysburg, Pa.-That the stars and

will appear at the big camp of veter-
ans during the anniversary celebra-
ton was indicated by announcements
from the office of the anniversary COM
mission that there is nothing to pre-
vent the wearers of the gray from
bringing along their .battlef1ags."
At the same time, it was said that
the Confederate flag would not be used
in official decorations over which the
commission has control. Residents OF
Gettysburg and Union veterans are
extending a royal welcome to arriving
Confederate veterans.
The town itself never has been so
gaily decorated. Every business block
is gay with the national colors and
practically every home displays at
least one flag. The stars and bars
appear in a number of places, while
the use of both the blue and the gray
is a favorite method of decoration at
many buildings.
Large pictures of both Union and
Confederate generals are much in evil
dence. The town is gay with martial
music Many of the veterans have
brought their flies, drums and bugles
and the calls of war times are sound
ed in the streets, in some instances
by the very men who did the same
thing during the exciting days of the
Gettysburg campaign half century
ago.
Finishing touches were put on the
camp Equipment was distributed to
the 5000 tents, all of which are now
up and everything is in readiness for
the fifty thousand old soldiers to at
tend the celebration.

TO MAKE END TO
TRAFFIC IN OPIUM
TO TAKE LAST STEP TO CRUSH
WORLD TRADE IN
OPIUM.
twelve POWERS AGREE
Other Habit-Forming Drugs Also to Be
Barred by The Hague
Conference.
TWELVE POWERS ACRE

Washington.-With the purpose of
taking the last step necessary to crush
out the international traffic in smok-
ing opium, cocaine and other noxious
and habit-forming drugs, representa-
tives of nearly all the nations of the
world will gather at The Hague to con-
tinue the International conference
which adjourned in that capital jan
uary %, 1912.
The purpose of the present gather
ing is to ascertain whether a sufficient
number of powers will join in ratify-
ing the international convention look
ing to the suppression of the opium
traffic, drafted by that conference, to
insure it's successful operation.
Opium has long been cause of seri-
GUS international conflict, China and
Great Britain having gone to war on
the subject in 1910, when the "Opium
war" finally resulted in the cession of
Hong Kong to Great Britain. The re-
cent movement for the suppression of
the trade in habit-forming drugs is
American in origin. Beginning in 1906
a systematic effort to secure this re-
suit by international action the state
department succeeded in the creation
of the international commission which
met in Shanghai in 1909 and paved
the way for the more official gathering
of delegates at The Hague in Deem
Der, 1911. This conference, after two
months hard work, agreed upon the
form of a general convention, which,
broadly speaking, was calculated to
put an end to International dealing in
harmful drugs.
There we're twelve powers party to
this agreement - America, China,
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Rus
STA, Siam and Persia.
It was pointed out that it would be
useless for these countries, the largest
producers and users to agree to radical
measures for the international control
of habit drugs, SO long as it was open
to the citizens of states not represent
ed at the conference to continue or
take up the production and traffic.

DEMAND COTTON REFORMS
BETTER METHODS FOR BALING
AND PACKING OF COTTON FOR
SHIPMENT WANTED.
Subject Is Taken Up by House Com
mittee on Interstate Committee.
Georgian Is Chairman.

Washington. Legislation looking
to better methods of bailing and of
packing cotton for shipment in inter
state commerce, to prohibit wasteful
methods of sampling, and unfair de-
auctions for cotton tare, as well as
regulations for deductions for "coun-
try damage" was taken up by the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce.
Representative Adams of Georgia,
chairman of the committee, declared
that congress undoubtedly has power
to regulate this subject where the cot
ton is to be shipped outside of the
state. Innumerable complaints have
been made by farmers that the arbi-
trary per cent. tare deduction is un-
just. This is denied by the cotton mer-
chants and exporters, who say that
thirty pounds of bagging and ties is
the average.
Reference was made to the practice
of the Southeastern railroads in &C
cepting for shipment unginned cotton
and ginning and baling it en- route.
Even if the railroads can only carry
$4,000 pounds of unginned cotton in
a car, whereas they can carry six
50O-pound bales in the same car, they
are enabled to make a difference in
the transportation receipts through
controlling the gins at certain points.
A bill to require uniform tare was
introduced at the last session of con-
gress by Representative Burleson of
Texas, now postmaster general.

FOUR KILLED BY EXPLOSION
BY Putting Of Dust Death and De-

Buffalo, N. Y.-Four men are known
to be dead, sixty were injured, some
fatally, and four are u naccounted for,
as the result of an explosion in the
elevator and grain storehouse of the
Hustled Milling company.
Sixty were taken to hospitals, some
in serious condition, from burns and
broken legs and arms. That many of
the injured cannot survive and that
the ultimate death list may number
fifteen is an estimate reached by a
canvass Of the hospitals.
The explosion was caused by the
putting of dust accumulated in the
feed house, and was of frightful force,
tearing out one wall of the wooden
structure and breaking windows for
a quarter of mile around. John Con-
roy, engineer of a switch engine, was
blown from his cab and received in.

death.
