IS REPORT Of UHl
Thousands of Lives and Mil
lions in Property in Constant
Danger From Reckless
Handling of Explosives.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-'The lives
of 5000 immigrants and Of 1000 gov
eminent employees and property worth
millions are in constant danger from
the reckless handling of explosives
near Ellis Island and in the harbor.'
This statement was made today by
acting Commissioner Of Immigration
Byron Fl. uhl. The acting commits
sioner is convinced of the possibility
of an explosion OF dynamite or giant
powder. which would be more fright
full in it's consequences than the ex-
plosion In Communipaw on February
/, 1911, when twenty-five lives were
lost, hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars worth of property destroyed,
s25, 900 worth at Ellis Island alone
and all Greater New York and nearby
Jersey shaken.
Investigations were begun today to
determine whether or not the Dupont
Powder company and other concerns
which load and unload and transfer
large quantities of explosives in New
York harbor are obeying the law and
are insistent upon carefulness in their
employees Congress will be urged to
pass such laws as will provide for the
safety of the harbor
When Assistant Secretary Post. of
the department. was here last July.
said Commissioner Uhl, II told him
what was going on and pointed out
10 him the freight pier of the Jersey
Central railroad. where vast quanti-
ties of explosives were handled within
1900 feet OF the immigration station.
The danger exists today.
Besides this. there Is the danger
that boats carrying explosives will be

At 1890 A. NJ off Governors Island
Captain Emmons sighted small dy-
Mantle boat and stopped the Queens
just in time to prevent collision.
After the great explosion at Com
munipawa, It was expected that the
federal government would provide
safety legislation, but nothing was
done.

Apprehension that the announce

would result in disorders in Mexico

largely dispeiled today with the re-
cetpt OF unofficial reports that the
situation remained quiet in the Mex
lean capital. Huerta is reported TO
have told Charge de 0'Shaughnessy
that he would not ask him to leave
the country, and that he would take
no action in retaliation against the
United States government. This as
surance was regarded as conclusive.

Continue Troops on Border
Secretary of War Garrison said to-
day that so far as his department
was concerned the presidents order
would not affect the present disposi-
ton OF troops along the border. The
troops were required on the boun
Gary for the prevention OF armed
parties crossing into the Unite States
for iaiding or other purposes.

on the measure. Mr.. Bryan said to-
day that the United States by the
presidents order Is now in precisely
the same attitude with regard to the
shipment of arms into Mexico as all
other nations and seemed to regard
this az ground for satisfaction.
While none Of the other govern

presidents action il became known
today that in Europe the procedure is
