| 1t is a saying at the colonial office
that no secretary of state who has pre-
sided over the destinies of that depart
ment introduced at once so many origi-
nal ideas or has left such an indelfble
impression of his personality there as
Chamberlain. He had not, for instance.
been at the office many days when he
produced a number of schemes which
he had obviously been working on for
some time previously. One Of these in
volved nothing less than proposals for
the redemption of the national debts
of all the colonies of the empire-crown
and self-governing. No one had ever
before dreamed of the possibility Of
such a colossal undertaking.
The means whereby Chamberlain pro-
posed to achieve his object were too
elaborate for description here. Suffice
1t to say that they were duly laid be-
fore the treasury for consideration and
led to much interdepartmental corre-
spondence, but were ultimately very
reluctantly abandoned by Chamberlain
owing to the opposition of Sir Michael
H1ckS-Beach tnow Lord st. Aldwyn),
who was then chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
Pilgrimages have been made this
week to the house in South London
where Chamberlain was born. The only
drawback was the doubt as to whether
one was gazing at the right house, for

ed between Camberwell Grove and
Grove Hill Terrace, steep, shady road

Haunt Of City Men.
Camberwell and the hills and the
groves round about it were an appro-
pirate place for the birth of the CITY
merchants son. South London was ira
dltlonally the haunt of city men, as it
still is for those of the humber sort.
Camberwell is full of fine merchants
houses, often with comfortable gardens
dating from the days of Chamberlain's
childhood. The home of Ruskin's Young
days on Herne hill-at this moment il
IS in the hands of demolishers-was a
typical merchants suburban retreat

the expensive and exclusive quarters of

London nome was and where he died.

TRADE COMMISSION
BILL IS ASSA|L Ed

strong plea against the enactuNnt
OF the Newiands trade commission bill
was made in the Senate today by Sena-
tor Weeks of Massachusetts.
Ihere Is no public demand for such
legislation declared Senator Weeks
Ihls IS shown by the failure of busi-
ness men to appear before either the ju-
diclary committee of the House or the
interstate commerce committee of the
senate In its advocacy. and by the gen.
eral expressions of boards of trade and
chambers of commerce all over the
United States in favor of q policy of
much more careful and thorough inyesti-
cation being made before any action is
taken. even assuming that it is desirable
to legislate on the subject.

that he then met the two girls who
we're later found ~butchered in their
beds in the house where they were

authorities indicates, it is said. that
the insane preacher is a moral degen-
crate. Another detail uncovered by
the investigators shows that laundry

Kelley to a Des Moines, Ia, firm. and
it is asserted that the clothing bore

connection with the crime is that he
had always before been insistent that
laundries to which he sent work
should mark his apparel with his full
name. but that in this ease he had
not objected to their use of merely
the initials.
Kelley continues writing ream aft

tOrney here and the authorities de-
claring that he is now perfectly sane
and wants TO be released from deten-
tion in the federal hospital for the
insane.

AIR TANK EXPLODES
AN EXCITING MOMENT AT MITCH
ELLIS GARAGE THIS
MORNING.

About $50 this morning the air
supply tank at Mitchell's garage ex-
ploded with a loud report which
startled the people of the south part
of the city. Fortunately, almost nil
r%aculously, none of the employees of
the establishment was injured.
The air supply tank, five feet in
height and eighteen inches in diam
eter, capable of a pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch, is situated
in the northeast coTner of the rear
department Of the garage. a room rs

plosion a gasoline engine used to
pump air into the tank was in OPP
GRAFTON. and under ordinary circum-
stances when the tank has been filled
with air to its capacity an automatic
safety valve releases surplus air. But
this valve failed to work and the
strength of the tank being oyertaxed,
the explosion occurred. The tank
| parted at the lower seam, the upper
portion going straight up through the
steel ceiling, breaking a two inch
| steam pipe square off, and emerging
| from the roof, hurtled to a distance
| of fifty feet to the east of the build
ing. Six windows in the room were
broken, the glass and sash being
sucked to the interior and the ce-
ment floor covered with small par
ticles of broken glass.

were several people in the front de

this part of the building was no

trance and exist doors in the rear de

the explosion, and this condition M

insane PREACHER
MAY HAVE COMMITTED THE VII
LISCA, IA, AK MURDERS.

Sioux Falls, July 11.-Further
suspicion is directed against Rev.
Lynn George j. Kelley, arrested last
fall by the United States authorities
at Winner, S. D., on a charge of
sending obscene literature through
the mails, by Iowa and Missouri de-
tectives who are still at work in an
investigation of the brutal and no.
torious "ax-man" killing at Villisca,
Ia, when an entire family and two
young women guests were murdered.
The investigation by the Montgomery
county, Ia, authorities swung. to
Sioux Falls at the time of Kelley's
hearing here last April before the
insanity commission when he was ad-
judged insane and sent to Washing
ton, ID. c., where he is now In a fed
eral hospital.
United States District Attorney
| Stewart now holds an indictment
| against Kelley, returned by the grand
| jury at Deadwood at the recent term
| of court there, charging him with
misuse of the mails, and If released
from the federal hospital he will be
required to face trial on the charge.
Attorneys for Kelley declare that
he Is undoubtedly insane and that ii
he was involved in the crime at vii
lisca, Ia, where it Is admitted he was
on the night it was committed, he re.
members nothing of it now and must
have been insane at the time.

added many details that have LED
many to suspect the identity of Kel
ley and the murderous ax-man is the
same. In a confused account of his
actions, Kelley, while here, told OF

GARRISON DECLARES
ARMY TOO SMALL
Says 1t Couldn't Be Considered
Offensive or Defensive
Force in War.

The United States army of 5000 men
is very small for the work 1t is ex-
pected to do, and smaller than could
or defensive force in case of actual hos
tilities."
This statement summarized Secretary
Of War Garrison's testimony before the
House Military Affairs Committee, ac-
cording to official reports made public
today. He explained his request for
great appropriations on the ground that
the army should be kept at the highest
point of efficiency. with sufficient re-
serve supplies for recruits in war times.
While Secretary Garrison declared
that he did not intend to increase the
army numbers he said he would sta
ton new men in the Canal Zone.
The necessity is this" he said. I'm
the event of war, a landing party or
small dimensions could explode even a
comparatively small amount OF explo-
sve materials where any locks or dams
are, so that they would completely de-
stroy $375, 600 900 worth of work and that
tremendous commercial and military
asset" He said. however. that thes
country must be guarded in it's troop
tions are pending with various coun-
tries.
Regarding recruiting practices, Mr.
Garrison declared that he had not founu
officers holding out promises of a soft
life" in the army as an inducement to
would be well for the army to reduce
enlistment terms. He indicated there
might be some trouble in obtaining re-
enlistments at Texas City because or
dissatisfaction with the long contInua-
ton of the camp there, and further IN
dicated that on-commissioned officers
are inclined to dissatisfaction with the
colonial army life in the Philippines.

SCHOOL PUPILS AGAIN
PAY WILSON HONOR
President Resumes Work on
Trust Message For Review
BY Cabinet.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. Jan. g
President Wilson fraternized with his
riends, the school children, again to
cay. He journeyed along the shell road
eastward toward Biloxi. so that the
Youngsters could see what a President
looks like. They lined the road, waved
banners and flags, and gave him a roya
reception. The President sat uncovered
through the reTiew, and told Congress
man Harrison he was prouder Of the
children's homage than of any other
honor.
Today's trip was picturesque-and moi
the least of the picture was furnished
by eleven-year-old Cecil Brown. son OF
Confederate veteran. When the
President visited school children at
Long Beach this week, t met the boy
SaTbed IN Confederate gray. The Iau
gave the Executive a box of caud, his
mother had made, with which he in
closed a note, in his own handwrftInS,
wishing the President a speedy return
TO health. Secretary Sven sent an
acknowledgment of the note, which the
President signed. Today the boy held
up the President again, presenting MIN
with bouquet of flowers. Attached
was a note:
I liked your letter so much that 7
have brought you these flowers Won't
you please write me when you ge-
back homer
The President hopes to become a good
correspondent with the boy.
The Executive put in a regular work
day program today, except for a Eo,.
same ana an automobile ride. It is
understood that he has nearly com
pleted the outline Of his trust messaer.
