DYNAMITE SHIP BLOWS UP.
Score Killed in Disaster Near Balti'
mOre-Three Hundred Tons
Explode.

Baltimore, Md, March 7.--Three hun
dred tons of dynamite being loaded In
the British tramp steamer Alum Chine,
in the lower harbor, off Fort Carroll,
exploded about 1890 o'clock this
morning instantly killing from forty
to fifty men, wounding and manning
three score more, some of whom may
die, and dealing destruction to more
than half million dollars worth OF
property.
The Alum Chine and a leading scoW
alongside her were annihilated. The
tug Atlantic, which twice went to the
rescue of the imperilled seamen, was
set of fire and later sank. The Uni
ted States collier Jason, just complet-
ed and ready for trial, was raked to
her deck and her armor rlddled.
Buildings in Baltimore and towns
many miles away were rocked by the
force of the terrific explosion.
Cause Not Yet Known.
The cause of the disaster is un-
known tonight, but Federal authori-
ties have Instituted thorough in
vestigation to place the blame. Ex-
cited survivors told conflicting stories
some insisting that negro steve
dore caused the explosion by jam
ming a spike into case Of dynamite.
This is denied by eyewitnesses, who
declare that smoke was seen pouring
from the Alum Chimes hold several
minutes before the explosion occurred.
At a late hour tonight the bodies OF
twenty dead had been brought to
morgues in this city and sixty injured
were in the hospitals. Estimates OF
the dead included thirty stevedores
and checkers of the Joseph R. Foard
Co., employed in transferring dyna-
mite from barge to the Alum Chine,
which was bound for Panama; eight
members of the crew of the Alum
Chine; six men on the collier Jason,
and the captain and several members
of the crew of the Tug Atlantic. Many
bodies, it is believed, will be recover
ed from the icy waters.
Of the injured score are frightfully
manned. At least fifteen are expected
TO die.

Fertilizer Tax Shows Increase.

Columbia, March 6.-The fertilizer
tag tax for this year, over that Of
1912, has increased $30,OS2.2O. The
tax for 1912 was s11O,526.7O, for this
wear s140,6OS.9O. The tax is for the
fiscal year ending March 6.
The increase is attributable to the
diversification of crops in South Car
olina. The movement to dissaude the
farmers of the State from planting
their acreage wholly in cotton has
gained in popular favor because OF
the educative campaign waged.
Instead of planting the whole acre
age in cotton, the agriculturists are
sowing grain, principally corn. Col
onel Watson, State commissioner OF
agriculture commerce and industries,
said that he had been conducting an
educative campaign to persuade the
farmers of the State to reduce their
acreage in cotton; that, while the re-
suits had not been entirely satisfac-
tory. he was sanguine that a State
wide movement is on foot to diversity
crops, and that the results are rapid
ly making for a more comprehensive
system Ct farming.

WEBB BILL SESTED

EXPRESS COMPANY REFUSES TO
DELIVER WHISKEY.
North Carolina Representative Tele-
graphs His Brother That South
Carolina is Not Affected.

Greenville, March Acting on
orders from headquarters the local
agent of the Southern Express COM
pany today refused to deliver whiskey
shipments to any person whomsoeVer
whether for personal use Or not, de-
claring the Webb bill is of this eff
feet.
Following the action several citi-
zens prevailed upon C. S. Webb OF
Greepville, brother of Representative
Webb, author of the bill, to wire the
representative at Washington for his
opinion as to the intent of the bill,
receiving late today the following re-
ply:
Law does not prohibit private use
shipment and will not unless State
forbids it and State can not where it
allows sale to individuals by any one
in the State
(Signed) "E. Y. WeDb.
Senator E. D. Smith also answered
a request for information declaring
an opinion similar to Representative
Webb's.
Mr.. Hall, agent of the express COM
pany, stated that several showed him
letters from whiskey houses acknowl-
edging receipt Of orders but stariag
that the purchasers would be unable
to get. the whiskey out of the ex-
press Office. This would indicate that
the whfskey houses take the same
vieweof the bill as the Southern. Ex-
press company. The general opinion
here is that the express company is
taking this method to test the legality
of the law.

Can Get Liquor by Court Order.

Abbeville, March 8.-FolloWing q

bia, Chief Justice Gary of the supreme
court of South Carolina today signed
an order to require the Southern Exc
press company to deliver whiskey con-
signed to D. F. Collicutt, of Columbia.
The express company recently issued
an order holding up all shipments Of
whiskey to individuals, basing its ac-
ton on the Webb law which was pass
ed at the last session Of congress.
1t is expected that the order by JUS
tice Gary will be carried to the United
States supreme court, which may test
the constituticnality Of the Webb laws
The mandamus proceedings wera
brought by D. F. Collicut, of Columbia
The express company refused to de-
liver a package, alleged to contain
whiskey, to Mr.. Collicutt, On the
grounds that the Webb law does not

Can Ship Liquor into South Carolina

washington, March 7.-"There is
no amendment to the Webb bill or
any part of the bill which forbids the
shipment of liquor into South Caro-
lima or any other State when that
commodity is shipped in in conform
itv to State laws" This was the
statement made here tonight by Repre-
sentative E. Y. Webb of North Carolina
author of the Webb liquor bill, when
asked specifically whether or not the
enforcement of this law would forbid
the shipment of liquor into South car
olina.
"This law" Mr.. Webb continued,
"only makes more perfect the en-
forcement of the present State laws
bv throwing safeguards around them
in such a way as to render them less
liable to be violated, but in state
like South Carolina there is nothing
that will prevent the shipment of Ii
quor there so long as the State per-
mits it. There need be no fear that
the dispensaries will suffer or that
any private person will suffer so long
as the State law IS not violated"
Senator Tillman said: "The Webb
law IS in effect, but not in language,
the same measure that I introduced
in the senate 16 years ago, but on
which I failed to get favorable COM
mittee report. 1t simply provides
that liquor shall not be shipped into
any State in violation of the laws OF
that State. This will not effect the
shipment of liquor to the dispensar1es
nor to private parties in South Caro-
lima, except for uses which are at
present unlawful
The full text Of the law is as fol-
lows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and

Governor Scores Columbia Police
Court,

y
Governor Blease's chauffeur, Harrl-
son Neely, colored, was hailed before
the recorders court here On Saturday
morning and fined S375 on the testi-
mony of policeman that the chauffeur
had run a city block in twelve seconds,
in violation of the speed ordinance o.
the city. The policeman said he held
a watch on the car. Governor Blease
was indignant because he says the po-
lice department is seeking to annoy
him, and he granted a pardon to Neely.
The chief of police refused to recog-
nize the pardon until he could consult
with the city attorney, and secure an
opinion from him, and there the mat
ter stood through Saturday afternoon.
The Columbia Record of Saturday
afternoon carried the following in re-
gard to the matter:
eff the police authorities OF the city
of Columbia do not remit the fine OF
s3.75 assessed my chauffeur Saturday
morning by the recorder, will mere
after pardon every man who applies to
me from that court. If they will steal
from me-who paid the fne-they will
steal from the other fellow.
"This was the statement made by
Governor Blease Saturday afternoon
when he discussed the fning of his
automobile driver, Harrison Neely.
"The governor further said:
"Clinch Cathcart is angry ecabuse
his father was not reappointed as
clerk to the Richland county board OF
control; and he is trying to take 1t
out on me-
"The governor stated that, II the
fine is not remitted, he will sue for IT,
In order that the legal status of par
dons for municipal offenses will be
settled for all times; that sit will be
the dearest fine the city of Columbia
placed on any person" if not RENTED.
"Clinch Cathcart is angry because
ed that he declined to remit the fine
imposed on the governors chauffeur
because he waited the decision Of the
city attorney to whom the matter was
referred for an opinion. "The defeat
of my father has nothing to do with
nv attitude said Chief Cathcart, en-
phatically."
