er Minnehaha Of the Atlantic Trans
port line arrived in the harbor with a
fire still burning in her cargo, the
flames having spread from No. 8 hold
into No. 4. The ship is hot from stem
to stern and the damage Is believed to
be extensive.
Captain Claret reported at Ala
o'clock on the afternoon of July Z
there was heavy explosion on board
and violent shock. which caused the
ship to tremble. The fire followed.
The ship anchored In tho outer har

fire had been extinguished. The loss
cannot be estimated, as it is impos

Captain Claret was firmly convinced
a bomb caused the explosion. The

across the ocean to be one more factor
In ;he movement which Is 10 stop the war

Mrs. Joseph Fels. who is one OF Mr..
Ford's guests on the Oscar IL, will pre-
sent the flag to Mr., Ford after the peace
snip has cleared the docks of Hoboken.
The aim of Philadelphia is that the flag
VIII eventually be presented to the dele
gates of the Peace Conference at The
Hague.
The flag is a replica of the flag pre-
sented to the delegates of the Pan-Amer-
lean Conference held In June of last year.
Although not legally adopted by all M
tions now, It's sponsors hope 1t will even
tually have the same relation to interna-

has In hospital work.
The suggestion that Mayor Blanken-

man, who was supposed to be as dead
as a doornail and a man who contributed
81, 90 tn the dead" mans funeral expen-
ses were to have met today in the Cen
trail Station on warrant sworn out by
the dead man accusing his benefactor
of having assaulted him. The dead"
man didn't appear TO press the charges
and his friend" was dismissed.
The dead man is Harry Baird. OF 1893
Cabot street and the man who contrib
uted the money Is Charles Beser, a cafe
proprietor at 1921 Girard avenue. When
the list of dead at the du Pont disaster
was announced some unknown person
asked for contributions for the funeral ex-
penses of Baird, whose name was on tin"
list. The liberal-hearted liquorman gave
s.. 80 and was surprised yesterday when "A
stranger entered and, during a conversa-
ton about the explosion, said he was
Harry Baird and that he had worked at
the powder plant.
That can't be right" said Beser II
gave two and half TO bury you"
Bury me2" asked Baird
Bury you," replied Beser.
Why pick on me?" said Baird.
You are dead, say nothing further
You were on the list of those blown up
at Wilmington"
This riled Baird and the two men
started to fight. with the result that Baird
swore out warrant for Beser on Il
charge of assault and battery.
