TWENTY-FIVE MEN
IN A BLAZING CAR

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Twenty-five Of
the thirty-eight 4 men trapped and
burned in a blazing smoking car in
a suburban train Of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad last night,
were reported at the hospitals today
as being out of danger. None of the
victims, it was said, were fatally burn
ed
Witnesses were certain today that
the fire was caused by an explosion
of box containing moving picture
films. Men smoking in the car, it was
thought, ignited the films by throw
ing lighted match near the box.
There was binding flash following
the explosion and flames quickly en-
veloped the car, the interior of which
was destroyed.
Few, if any, Of the passengers in
the car escaped without being scorch-
ed. Two of the passengers were
blown through the windows. Others
were trampled on in their attempt to
escape through the doors.

Wealthy New Yorker Killed
After Being Lured From
Shelter of His Office
MURDERERS ESCAPE
in AN AUTOMOBILE
Police Are Puzzling Over
Identity of the Slayers
and Cause of Crime

New York, Nov. 25.-The assassina-
ton of Barnet Baff, characterized by
Coroner Feinberg as the elimination
of the greatest conspiracy since the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, placed a
real murder mystery in the central Of
| fee today for solution. Clues pointed
| many ways. The authorities declared
that the mystery had so many rami-
fcations that it took on the aspects Of
a Chinese puzzle.
The victim, we'll to do independent
poultry dealer, was lured to his death
by decoy message given him at 6
o'clock last night by young man who
entered his place of business in Wash
ington market Two shots, fired in
the street, killed him. Two men
Idarted away to an automobile waiting
nearby, and made off. The car had
not been located nor the men identi-
fed this forenoon.
Going over Bats past life in a
quest for clues, detectives learned
that he had been threatened many
times with violent death since he had
testified for the state in a trial that
sent numbers of New York City's
poultry trust to prison several years
ago. In the relentless campaign
waged by his enemies, fires had been
lighted, bombs exploded, his horses
poisoned, his son attacked and his
chain of stores robbed One of his
neighbors was killed by gunnlan, in
mistake, it was believed, for Baff.
Baff, himself, had been Scared for
life by an assault made on him by a
thug, armed with a bottle. ,s
The police worked on the theory
that Baff had four sets of active
enemies. One of these consisted of
those he made while warning against
the poultry trust; another of members
of the gang that robbed his Harlem
market, five of whom we're sent to
Sing Sing; third grew out of his
differences with certain wholesale
dealers, who charged Baff had tricked
them by selling poultry at wholesale
and then underselling them to retail
ers.
The fourth was of more recent
origin. Not long ago a number Of
fowls shipped to New York for other
dealers were seized and condemned
because it was charged their crops had
been filled with gravel to add to their
weight. AS result of this a number
of men we're thrown out Of work. They
are said to have blamed Baff.

he can go down with last look at
the happy sun and the blue sky. We
see nothing, hear nothing. If the boat
is to go down we shall all suffocate
in the darkness under water.
Suddenly we all jump and forget
heat and bad air and discomfort In
small lighted letters the sign board
says Attention The officer in COM
mand holds the lever which will re-
lease the first torpedo. The sailors
make ready to launch the second one
as soon as the first shall have gone.
A few seconds passing, we must be
very near the enemy. Suddenly the
first signal disappears, half a second
later and the red glowing letters say
Fire With single jerk the lever
releases the torpedo. A short metallic
click, the noise of the water rushing
into the empty tube, and all is over.
The second torpedo is at once pushed
into the tube. A few seconds later
and the interior of the submarine
looks as it did before the attack De-
gan.
But what Of the first torpedo? did
she reach her goal? Instinctively we
have all kept count-one hundred
metres, two hundred metres, three
hundred, four hundred Under water
no sound penetrates. We hear only
the noise of our engines We wait
Nothing happens. Then, suddenly we
are all thrown together by the jerky
movement of the boat. Twice or three
times more we feel that we have
changed our course very abruptly.
"Then the boat rolls as before. The
regular purring of the engines is
heard. Our submarines are rapidly
moving eastward.
I'VE are on our way home. The at
tack has been successful"

Chicago. Nov. 25.-"Keep young
girls away from Chicago" This Is
the substance of warning letter
planned to be sent today over the
country by the travellers aid depart
ment of the Chicago Young Womens
Christian association. The difficulty
of obtaining employment has aug.

posed
There never was time in the his
tory OF Chicago said Mrs. WiIhel-
nina Barr secretary of the travellers
aid, when it was so difficult to obtain
employment for strange girls. This
condition necessarily increases the
dangers to which they are exposed"
Six classes of girls are named in the
letters of warning which the organiza.

the principal cities OF the country.
They are:

The Hague, Nov 11.-( Correspond
ence of The Associated Press) "a let
ter telling of an attack by the German
submarine U-26 on an unmentioned
British warship is published by The
Zeit. 1t begins with the preparations
for the expedition two hours before
midnight in order to make a strike
at dawn. The letter, said to have
been written by member of the crew
of the attacking boat, follows:
Around the heavy granite rocks of
the long pier, 1nonstrously black in the
dark night, the storm sweeps up the
water of the North sea in angry waves.
Inside the pier the water lifts up the
submarine in the regular motion Of
heavy waves. Everything is pitch
dark. From out of the engine room,
already under water, there rises the
sound of heavy pounding and the
weird cracking Of the engines being
tried out.
"At. half past ten there is shrill
whistle from the little bridge which
stands high above the submarine and
which is covered with heavy canvas.
The officer in command, dressed in his
oilskins, gives the sign of departure.
The cables are loosened. A short,
sharp signal to the engine room, the
sudden whirr as the motor catches,
and the U-26 is under way. The sharp
bow plows through the water. On
both sides of the ship long waves are
forming, shimmering with light roam
in the blackness Of the sea. We move
in westerly direction. We are going
towards the enemy.
"The earliest signs of dawn appear
when suddenly in the near distance,
there is the sight Of a heavy bulk,
swinging high above us on the water.
We pass through the long tail of foam
from which a hostile destroyer has

.CROCKER LAND IS

New York. Nov. 25.-Scientists here
expressed keen interest today in the
report received by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History that Crocker
land had either disappeared or has
never existed, according to a report
of the expedition headed by Donald
B. Mcmillan which set out in July,
1918, to find the unexplored country.
Read Admiral Peary believed he sight
ed Crocker land in 1906.
Press dispatches from Washington
quote Admiral Peary as saying he
would not comment on the report un-
til he had read the full text Of the
letter which w. Elmer Ekblaw, geolo-
gist and botanist of the expedition,
wrote to Knud Rasmussen, the Dan
ish explorer, who notified the muse

VALUE Of FARM
PRODUCTS LOWER

Washington, D. c., Nov. Pa de-
crease of about IL per cent in the level
of prices paid American producers for
the principal crops during October is
noted by the department Of agriculture
today. Exclusive of cotton, the decline
was 6.1 per cent. For the last six years
the price level has decreased during
October 4.3 per cent.
The department attributes the un-
usual decline, first, to steady improve
ment in prospective yields during Oc-
tober, and second, to the levelling
downward resulting from transition
from a year of small production and
high prices to a year of large produce
tion and lower prices, notably in case
of corn and potatoes.
Prices paid producers for meat ami.
mails decreased 5.S per cent during the
month from September Is to October

just left behind, speeding towards the
east. We have managed to find our
way through the first line of the
enemy's advance guard. From now on
we must be very careful.
"a signal is heard and men appear
on deck. The boat is prepared for ac-
ton. The flag pole is taken down.
Parts of the bridge are folded together
brought up to the proper height. Then
the entrance through the combined
bridge and coming tower is hermet-
ically closed. The tanks are opened
and the inrushing waters tell us that
the boat is about to submerge. The
gasoline motors stop their endless
song. Electricity will drive us from
now until we shall reappear on the
wcter.
"a young lieutenant is posted at the
periscope and looks for the enemy.
The sailors take their positions near
the torpedoes. The interior of the
boat is lighted with two small electric
bulbs. They make the darkness Wis
ible but give no light. Everywhere
there is a stale smell of oil. 1t is inn
possible to speak to each other with
the noise of engine and of water. The
heat in the small room is oppressive.
From time to time the officer in
command of the three torpedoes looks
at his watch or at his compass, both
of which he carries around his wrist
Intently the men all watch the sign
board on the wall in front of them.
The storm which is raging on the sur
face makes itself felt on the vessel.
Every motion at the surface makes
the boat rock up and down, up and
down.

CHINA PRESENTS
GREATEST MARKET

opportunity for American mAnufactnr.

The Chinese trade is worth fighting

is the most stupendous market the
world has ever known. The volume Of
Chinese trade is simply staggering In
it's demands. Another thing to be re-

business done In China Is greater than
that OF any other country in the world,
