him for his non-allegiance to the Union Jack, is the unusual experience of ex-Councilman Roy N. Buell. of Pleasant street, who is spending the holidays at his home in this city.
 MT. Buell. is employed as con- struction superintendent for a large St. Louis concern and in the course of United States and Canada. Several weeks ago he was stationed at Lon don, Ontario, Canada. While he was there the census taker visited his house and his name was given as one of the residents.
 When the last Canadian regiment was recruited from this province of Canada all able bodied men were ex- pected to enlist. MT. Buell. had left the city in the meantime and knew nothing of the letter asking him to ex- plain why he had not enlisted until, after 1t had been forwarded, he re- ceived it at his home a few days ago. From the fact that he was then living in Canada, the authorities there as- sumed that he was a British subject and should show his allegiance to King George by enlisting.
 MT. Buell. has penned letter to the Canadian authorities informing them of their error and the fact that he is true and loyal subject of Uncle Sam. MT. Buell. is we'll known member of the local loGge of Ell<s.

EIGHT MEN KILLED IN
 CHICAGO EXPLOSION
Several Other Employees Injured When Naptha Tank Blows Up at Ameri-
 can Idnseed Co.'s Plant.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Explosion of a naptha tank at the plant of the American Linseed company in South Chicago today brought death and in- jury to 8 number of employees, jeopar- dized the lives of firemen and caused fire which threatened the destruc- tion of the plant of the company.
 Two hours after the explosion the coroner was told by the police at the scene that eight men had been killed and as many more injured. Earlier reports placed the dead at from fifteen to twenty.
 More than one hundred men were working in the plant when the ex- plosion occurred, according to officials of the company.
 At the first alarm fifteen fire com- panies were sent to the plant. Work men who escaped injury in the ex- plosion hurried from the plant and the officials were unable to ascertain how many were in the building.
 The first word that came to the police department was from a police man detailed at the plant, who tele- phoned that fifteen or twenty men were trapped in the burning building. This announcement was qnickly fol- lowed by a report that several fire men had been caught beneath a fall ing wall and that many were injured.

SEVEN NEGROES KILLED
 BY WHITE POSSEMEN
Two of Latter Seriously Hurt in Race War in GeOr-
 gia.

| Blakeley, Ga, Dec. 31.-Excitement caused throughout this section by clashes between white possemen and 1 negroes near here yesterday in which seven negroes were killed and two whites seriously hurt, had not entire ly died down today. Influential white citizens who were busy until late last night in efforts to prevent further possible outbreaks, expressed the belief, however, that there would be no more trouble.
 Five of the negroes were shot and killed and two others were burned to death, according to reports here, as a result of three pitched battles be- tween the negroes and various bands of whites seeking to capture Grandi- son Goo1sby, negro farmer, and his two sons Mike and Ulysses, accused of assassinating Henry J. Villipigue, an overseer, who had thrashed one of the younger Goolsbys. Villipigue was shot in the back Wednesday night, his wife narrowly escaping death from several other shots fired after he fell.
 The negroes reported dead were Grandson Goolsby, his two sons, both of whom. were burned in a cabin in which they sought refuge; "Hosh" O ton and Early Highlower.
 Jewell and Holmes were killed in aiding the Goolsbys stand-of a posse led by Sheriff Howell of Early county. Burton and Highlower met death re- sisting another posse which sought to search their cabin.
 It was estimated that there were several hundred whites in the various posses, and it was said that probably half a dozen were wounded.
 Samuel Pittman and O. B. Huds- peth, member of the sheriff's posse, were the only two white who were known here to have been wounded. Pittman's right arm was broken by a shot, and Hudspeth was shot in the head. He is expected to recover.
 The killings took place in the west ern part of this (Early) county, about ten miles west of here and near the Alabama border.

 Conspiracy Case.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Former Rep. H. Robert Fowler, Henry B. Martin and Herman Schulteis, identified with Labor's National Peace Council and | indicted in New York under the Sher- man antitrust law for conspiracy to restrain trade in munitions, demanded a preliminary hearing when they ap- peared today before United States Commissioner Taylor to make a for mal return to the indictment Hearing was set for Jan. 20.
 Rep. Frank Buchanan of Illinois, on the same charge, sent word to the department of justice today that he would waive all question of immunity go to New York as quickly as possi- ble, probably within week, furnish bail and adopt no dilatory tactics.
 The demand for hearing came as surprise to the government. Henry F. Davis for the defendants, ex- plained he did not believe that such an indictment would lie under the Sherman law, or any other law.
 ''The, Sherman law was aimed at the suppression of competition among traders, while the men named in this indictment are in no way competitors with the men whose trade it is charged they were conspiring to interfere with,' said MT. Davis.
