TEN MEN KILLED BY CHEMICAL EXPLOSION
Mixing Room in Rubber Factory
Scene of Tragedy-Cause May
Never Be Known.

Detroit, Mich.-Ten men, most Of
them chemists, were killed by an eX-
plosion of acid and chemicals in the
mixing room of the Mexican Crude
Rubber Company Friday.
The one-story concrete building
where the explosion occurred was al
most obliterated. Other buildings
within a radius of mile were more
or less damaged The loss was esti-
mated at $4,000.
The dead: Edward Christopher,
William Mccoy. G: Larsen, al Hodg-
kins, Victor R. Burns, William F.
Niles, Jose Casso, Gorton Latta, Enron
Aman, George Gleggoria. The four
last named were Mexicans.
Just what caused the explosion prob
ably never will be known. Every man
in the mixing room at the time was
killed.
Masses of concrete were found sew
eral blocks away. Nearby buildings
were battered by the hail of flying
stone and several pedestrians had mar
row escapes. A short distance from
the rubber factory the plant of the

SETTLE THE MEXICAN PROBLEM DEFINITELY
And American Troops Will Vacate
Vera Cruz, Mexico, Says Pres
ident Wilson.

Washington-President Wilson Mon
day told the American commissioners
who left for the mediation conference
at Niagara Falls, Ontario, that the
United States government regards the
settlement of the Mexican problem in
a definite form as a prerequisite to
the withdrawal of the American forces
from Vera Cruz.
The president gave the American
commissioners-Jus Lamar of the
supreme court of the United States,
Frederick w. Lehman, former solicit
tor general, and Diplomatic Secretary
ii. Perceval Dodge-no specific in
structiOns. He told them to place
themselves in receptive mood and
await proposals from the three South
American mediators. But at the same
time he outlined to his representa-.
tives that peace in Mexico seemed to
him to be conditioned on the elimina-
ton of the Huerta administration and
the establishment in its place of a
strong provisional government which
would conduct an election giving fair
treatment to all factions and parties
and guaranteeing, moreover, a solu.
ton of the agrarian problem and other
internal difficulties in the southern
republic in the last three years.
President Wilson wishes the Mexi.
can question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata
in the south as we'll as Carranza in
the north have been fighting, and at
the same time will conserve the right.

DREAM Of CENTURY REALIZED
BARGEs NOW PASSING THROUGH
THE PANAMA CANAL.
A Great Aid to Shipping at This limo
Just When Merchant Shipping viii
Be Opened, Not Reported.

WASHINGTON. the first time in
the worlds history, water-borne traf'
fic is now passing through the Pan
anna canal.
Ample provision has been made BY
Colonel Cocktails for the institution or
water service, limited at first strictly
to barges, beginning not later than
May 10.
AS matter of fact, according to
the Panama railroad reports, the serV-
ice actually began last Saturday and
steady stream of barges in tow is
now passing through the canal
The tremendous congestion in inter
oceanic commerce caused by suspen-
sion of service or the Tehuantepec
railroad in Southern Mexico as an in
cident of the rebellion, brought about
this opening of the canal to trade.
Several of the great freight liners,
which, in conjunction with similar
service on the Pacific maintains trade
lines between Europe and the Far
East via Tehuantepec, have recently
appeared at Colon and Panama offer
ing cargoes for transshipment over
land far beyond the capacity OF the
Panama railroad.
Finding that Colonel Goethals was
willing to assist them by clearing an
adequate channel for barges, at least
through the Cucaracha slide, the COM
Dany secured a lot of the barges that
have been used for harbor purposes
at Colon and Panama and established
this service as an overflow to assist
the railroad in meeting the trade de-
mands.
Colonel Goethals had not reported
to Washington just when the canal
will be opened to merchant shipping,
but the understanding is that the
waterway is practically finished ard
that even now there is a sufficient
channel through the Culebra cut for
almost any warship or liner and that
it is only from desire to avoid a
possible serious accident through an
unexpected renewal of the earth move
ments in the cut that Colonel Goeth-
ais has determined to allow a period
for observation before actually openy
ing the canal
It is understood that this barge
service is to be operated on about a
12-hour schedule from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, which allows one hours
delay at each of the locks.

70 SURRENDER TEXAS IRON ORE CONTRACT
Price of Pig Iron Declared Too Low
and Freight Rates Too High.
Lose $4,000.

Austin, Textile Texas Iron As
sociation Monday notified Governor
CoQuitt that it would forfeit its con-
tract with the State for the operation
OF an iron plant at Rusk penitentiary.
The reason given is that the pres
ent low price of pig iron makes 1t I'M
possible to manufacture pig iron at
profiA and that charge is made that
freight rates are absolutely prohibit
tive That until freight rates are ma
terially reduced, it would be impOssl-
bic to develop the East Texas iron
field. This conclusion was announced
after the governor had conferred with
D. NJ. Barringer of Philadelphia, presl-
dent of the Texas Iron Association;
IF. A. O'Neal of Cass County and Mr..
Shook of Birmingham, Ala, mining
engineer.
In the forfeiture of the contract, the
association reports that it has spent
$31 900 on the iron furnace at Rusk
and $4,000 paid for two years priVi-
lege to take ore from the State de-
posts near Rusk. Their losses in
their. East Texas fields, by virtue of
the forfeiture, are not given 1t is I'M
derstood that extensive work has been
done in the iron beds of Cass County,
but all Of this is now abandoned.
The governor was informed that be-
cause Of the reduction in the tariff on
iron ore, pig iron can be brought to
Galveston and Houston from abroad at
such a price as to preclude its manu-
facture in Texas at present freight
rates. 1t is also stated that Birming-
ham is able to send pig iron into Tex
as and sell it at price cheaper than
it can be manufactured in this State.
A stipulation of the contract was that
whenever pig iron went below 81 a
ton it was the privilege of the lessees
of the iron foundry to surrender their
contract. The lessees now contend
that pig iron has gone below $11 per
ton and therefore they exercise their
right to surrender the contract, effec-
tive Jan l, 1915, up to which time
they have paid rentals.
Governor Colquitt expressed the
opinion that this would be the last en-
deavor to develop the rich East Texas
iron fields until the railroads made
equitable freight rates. The iron as
ISOLATION complains that the inbound
rates on pig iron from East Texas
fields to Rusk are too high; that the
rates on limestone for furnace flush
ing are prohibitive, as on the inbound
rates on coke for smelling purposes,
and that the rates for distributing
the pig iron, both in the State and
out of it, are impossible Their COM
plant is that the railroad rates have
throttled any further development
when considered with the new tariff
law

$1,000 BALES COTTON BURNED
THE COTTON DESTROYED WAS
VALUED AT 100000
One Man Lost His Life by Falling
WaIIs-The Loss Is Covered
BY Insurance.

Galveston, TeX.-One life and 1900
bales Of cotton were lost in fire
that destroyed the west warehouse of
the Merchants and Planters Compress
and Warehouse Company Friday
night.
The life lost was that Of an I'M
identified man-presumably laborer
who ventured too close to the fire
and was caught by a falling wall of
brick.
The property lost, owned for the
most part by the compress and ware
house company, was valued at $780,
600. This loss is covered by insur-
ance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
When discovered by William irwin, a
Waterman, it had gained a consider
able Roadway.
By the time general alarm could
summon to the scene every piece OF
fire-fighting apparatus in the city the
entire warehouse block was a mass
of seething flames.
The property is located between
Thirty and Thirty-first, Market and
Postoffice streets For months cot
ton had been accommodating in the
sheds, movement this year having
been slower than in past seasons.
The yard was more than half filled,
the estimate of |. H. kempner being
that there were between 1900 and
10000 bales housed there
A strong east wind saved the east
warehouse containing about 10000
bales of cotton and all the machinery
of the plant. That property on the
north and west sides of the burning
building was not damaged is consider.
