MILL BLOWN UP
Blast at American Powder
Works at Acton, Mass.
Police Suspect Plot to Cripple
Munitions Plant.

Acton, Mass, Aug. 30.-The glazing
mill of the American Powder compa-
ny, which, since the outbreak of the
European war has been working to Its
capacity, blew up yesterday
So far as known, nobody was killed.
The shock was felt for forty miles.
The actual money loss to the COM
pany was not heavy. But it was stat
ed that work on large orders probably
would be held up. for several weeks
Property owners in the surrounding
towns, particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because of the shattered
windows.
The mill had been closed down since
Saturday afternoon. The police of this
town and Maynard expressed the be-
lief that the explosion had been caused
with intent to cripple the plant.
DUPONT Mills Blast.
Wilmington, Del. Aug. 30.-Two
workmen were instantly killed and
considerable damage was done to
property by an explosion of two black
powder mills of the Dupont Powder
company in the Upper Hagley yards,
near here, yesterday. The victims
are Lawrence Cunningham, aged 46,
of this city, and Hugh Gillespie, So,
of Hazleton, Pa.
Hundreds of windows in nearby
houses were broken.
Several hundreds pounds of powder
exploded, completely destroying the
mills. The first to go was a fuse mill
This set off a second plant nearby.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined, but officials say it
probably was due to a spark or to
grit in the powder.
Fire in Munitions Plant.
Baltimore, Aug. 30.-The plant of
the E. J. Codd company, machinists,
at Canton, a suburb, was damaged
by fire of mysterious origin last night.
The company recently obtained a sub
contract for the manufacture of
shrapnel castings and the shops were
being refitted for the work.
Plot to Wreck Train.
Gary, Ind, Aug. 3O.-What was be-
lieved to be an attempt to wreck
train carrying gun cotton to the forces
of the allies in Europe was revealed
when it was discovered that the plates
holding two rails had been removed
a short distance from the Aetna pow
der works. 1t was said. however, the
munitions were packed in water jack
cts and would not have exploded, even
if the train had been ditched.

Sulphur Springs, Tex, Aug. 3O.-In
a fight with an armed posse near here
yesterday afternoon, Joe Richmond.
negro, was shot and killed and his
brother, King Richmond, was serious
ly wounded and later the body of the
dead negro was burned at the stake
with his wounded brother in Buford
park, in Sulphur Springs. The ne
groes early in the day had shot and
killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A. Flip
pen and probably fatally wounded
Sheriff J. b. Butler.
Sheriff Butler and Deputy Flippen
had started to arrest King Richmond
at negro settlement nine miles
south of here on a minor charge,
when suddenly and unexpectedly both
negroes opened fire, killing F1ippen
instantly. Butler sustained several
bullet wounds, after which the ne
groes beat him over the head and his
condition is said to be precarious.
The news spread rapidly and with
in a short time hundreds of armed
men were securing the country
searching for the Richmond negroes.
They were surrounded in wood in
the afternoon and in a fight with a
posse, Joe Richmond was killed and
his brother seriously wounded. None
of the mem berS of the posse was hurt.

JOY TURNS TO GRIEF
An Auto Ride Brought to an Abrupt
Termination.

A little joy-ride of a Topeka man
and a married woman, not his wife,
but somebody else's wife. came to an
abrupt end the other evening. The
man hired a machine and a negro
chauffeur for the trip and he also
deIved down deep into his wine cellar
or clothes hamper and dug out a
bottle Then the automobile, the
man, the married woman, the bottle
and the chauffeur went out riding.
The man began taking wee nips"
of the bottle from time to time He
was getting exceedingly joyful and
his happiness later turned to a feeling
of dislike for the driver. On West
ern avenue, between Twelfth and
Huntoon streets and opposite a small
city park, the man cracked the chauf-
feur over the head. The woman
screamed. The chauffeur stopped the
car, hauled the inebriated man out of
the seat, and gave him a sound beat
ing.
The woman, when the ear stopped
and a crowd began to gather, grabbed
hold of her skirts and flew across
the park. And they say that was
where she was recognized.
The chauffeur, after Cleaning
house" with the man who takes the
leading role in the drama, picked
him up, put him back in the car,
and started away The curtain then
fell and the interested spectators re-
turned to their firesides or park

the wheat yield at 1 8 bushels an acre,
with a loss and abandonment of near
ly 20 per cent of the 9,449,000 acres
planted last fall.
Corn conditions are unchanged.
The report continues to estimate the
yield at 149, 482, 900 as against a yield
of S7,33S,272 in 1914. The yield of
oats is estimated at 35 million BUSH
els as against an estimated yield in
the July report of 80 million bushels.
The Report.
The report follows:
Winter Wheat-The preliminary es-
innate of reporters indicates a crop
of winter wheat in Kansas this year
of 98,690,000 bushels. This is a de-
crease of more than IL million BUSH
els from the July estimate of pro-
Spective yield by the same correspond
ents. Continued wet weather, render
ing impossible the harvesting of much
wheat that a month ago it was ex-
pected would be cut, was a chief fac
tor in this reduction. Threshing re-
turns in many localities are not hold
ing up to expectations, suggesting
that the waste of grain has been large,
especially where wheat was in the
shock. Comparatively little thresh-
ing has been done for the season of
the year, and in some portions, par
ticularly in the northwest, the sep
arator has not yet begun to hum.
This preliminary estimate of wheat

to later threshing returns, when the
board makes it's final inventory in
November.
Correspondents estimate that near
" 90 per cent of the 9,449,000 acres
sown to winter wheat in Kansas last
fall was dead loss, from all causes,
including the uncut wheat abandoned,
leaving 7,5SS,0O0 acres that were har-
vested, with q probable average yield
per acre of slightly more than IS bu-
shells.
Corn Situation.
Corn - Approximately $500, 900
acres were planted to corn in Kansas
this year, a-d based on the outlook
August rs, correspondents estimate a
prospective yield of corn for the state
of 149, 4s2, 900 bushels, or practically
3 bushels to the acre, on the average
Should this acre yield be realized it
will be the largest since 1889, when
the average was slightly more than 40
bushels per acre. Although the total
acreage planted this year is the small
est since 1882, the present prospect
indicates a crop fully up to the annual
average of the past twenty years. rhe
yield of corn in Kansas last year was
S7,33S,272 bushels; in 1913, 1890
900 bushels, and in 1912, 156, 10000
bushels
The promise for corn throughout
state is uniformly good, excepting IN
several counties of the eastern third,
south of the Kansas river. where the
lowest prospective yields are indicat-
ed, while some of the counties border
ing on Colorado, although compare

BETTER SCHOOLS HERE
Shawnee County Will Be in Good
Shape Internationally

When the schools in Shawnee
county open September 6 they will
be in better condition than ever be-
fore John F. Eby, county superin-
tendent, announced this morning. Mr..
Eby has just returned from California
where he enjoyed a vacation and he
started in on the preliminary work
necessary before the county's edua-
cationa1 system can begin it's fall
work.
There has been a great deal of i'm
provement in the school houses in all
parts of the county," said Mr.. Eby
this morning. Now it looks as though
almost every one of the 103 schools
in the county should be classed as
standard schools under the state law.
This will mean that certain rules as
to heating of the buildings, equipment,
qualification of teachers and other
things about the schools will be up to
the standard set by law"
The teaching force in the county
will number $50 this year, Mr. Eby
stated.

WEATHER HITS COTTON
Prospect Hurt by Drought Followed
by Heavy Rains; Condition 69.2.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Drought fol-
lowed by excessive rains in the cotton
belt during August caused deterior-
alton slightly more than the August
average to the growing cotton crop.
The department of agriculture today
announced the condition as 69-2 per
cent of a normal. That is 6.1 per cent
below the July condition.
Unofficial calculations based on
government averages for yield con-
dition and acreage place the crop at

SANTAFE MAKES MONEY
Both Gross and Net Revenues Show
a Gain in July.

July gross revenues of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway system.
announced in Topeka today by E. L.
Copeland, secretary and treasurer
were s10,422, 1922, showing an increase
of $S13, 099, or ga per cent over those
of yeaT ago. Net July revenues were
3,S35,267, or S50,S14 more than a
year ago, an increase of 3 per cent.
These figures indicate an expansion
of business in the Santa Fe operating
territory, which, coupled with Presi-
dent Rip!ey's retrenchment policy,
brought the net and gross up to a high
average in comparison with other
western lines. The standard of road
bed and rolling equipment has been
kept up. however.

rODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, Aug. 30.-WHEAT-A rush of
buying from the shirt side lifted wheat sc
to 1c higher today at the opening with
September at 97a4 @9S14c, and December at
9o15c to 96Ac. Large holders let go freely
for profit taking and the market soon re-
coded, the reaction amounting to a range
of &c to lie. The market seemed to be a
speculative one with little outside in
fluences. For time prices held within the
lower range.
Commission houses pressed selling and
prices went to marks for the crop.
Uhconfirmed rumors that Canada might
abolish the duty on wheat also was a
bearish factor. The close was weak at
a net loss of &c to 21sr with September
at 95Bc and Derember at 93hl.
CORN-Atthestart showed an upturn of
sc to 11sc reports of frost in Nebraska
and Iowa, killing frost being reported
from near Mason City, Iowa. September
opened at 1850 to Toe, an advance of 1c to
11sc, and December at 64Ac TO 643sc, a
rise of NC to 1kc. Heavy offerings caused
a recession of nearly cent, after which
there a slight rally.
