Former Senator Burton Not
Yet Ready to Enter the
Race for Presidency.
INVITED BY HIS FRIENDS
TO RUN FOR SENATORSHIP
Distinguished Ohioan Believed to
Have Made Hit With Big Business
by Trip to South America.

Former Senator Burton of Ohio, who
recently returned from a South Ameri-
can trip, will remain in Washington
the rest of the week and leave Satur-
day for Ohio to catch up with condi-
tions that have arisen during his more
than three months of absence from the
country.
Mr.. Burton later will start upon a
trip across the continent. All the
prospective candidates for presidential
honors are taking an interest in the
California expositions. Senator Weeks
was one of the first visitors. making
stopovers at several points. Gov. Whit
man was next, and now James r. Mann
has been doing" the eXpoSitions and
speechmaking on his way eastward.
They are not to be allowed to have any
the best of Mr.. Burton. apparently. who
is just as much interested In EXPOSE
lions as any of them.
Seriously speaking, however, Mr.. Bur-
ton has not yet declared himself in the
presidential contest. Many of his
friends are urging him to return to the
Senate, while strong pressure is being
brought to hear from other quarters to
induce him to seek the favorite son in
dorsement of Ohio as candidate for
the republican nomination for Presi-
dent

Future Course Not Decided.

1t is said by his friends to be a fact
that Mr.. Burton himself is undecided
as to his future course and that he is
not at this time prepared to make an
announcement
All the information from trustworthy
sources confirm The Stars political
correspondence from the Buckeye state
that Mr. Burton holds a commanding
position in Ohio republican politics at
this TIME. 1t is believed by Ohio re-
publicans of Importance that in a pri-
mary for nomination as United States
senator to succeed Senator Pomerene
he would run far ahead Of any other
candidate and could be nomina ted with
out serious opposition.
BY the same token, 1t is the belief
that he would run ahead of Herrick
Willis or Harding as Ohio's favorite
son for the presidential nomination.
Practically, then. the politicians say, it
remains for Mr.. Burton to decide which
honor to seek.
The result of a straw vote" taken in
the Ohio Legislature before it's adjourn
ment last month for presidential choice
gave Burton 26, Willis IA, Harding IA,
Taft 6 and Herrick s.

STRETCH OF EAST MAIN STREET,
FLOODED OFTEN, MAY BE
IMPROVED.
MUST EITHER BUILD
BRIDGES OR GOOD ROAD
Situation on Stretch Of Low Road
Near River Demands Permanent
Work-Road May Be Built Higher,
Paved With Concrete, With Con.
crete Aprons on Embankments.

In order to prevent the road from be-
ing washed away, and to remove the
necessity of building more and better
bridges, the supervisors may decide 70
build higher then pave stretch OF
the East Main street road, a short dis.
tance south Of the Iowa river. This
piece OF road is very bad in wet
weather. 1t is low and is overflowed
when high water mandates the sur
rounding low ground. Last spring on
this road horse vas mired and
drowned
The board has been discussing the
feasibility and cost of not only paving
this section of this road, but also of
paving the sloping side of the road
with q thin apron to protect the en-
bankments that support the pavement
above.
May Pave Eighth Of Mile.
The length of road that would thus
be paved fould not be more than
an eighth Of milo. The supervisors
have reasoned that If the road was
graded up two, three, or four feet, then
covered with concrete pavement and
aprons on the sloping sides, the road
could then be overlooked with high
water and not be damaged.
AS the road now is, the situation de-
mands either more and larger bridges
and channels to carry the flood waters,
'or frequent rebuilding Of the road after
every flood.

NO NEW LIGHT ON
 CAUSE OF DUPONT
 PLANT EXPLOSION
List of Dead Remains at Thirty One. Other Workman Is Yet
 Missing

Wilmington, Del, December 1.-Devel- opments today threw no light on the cause of yesterdays explosion at the Dupont Powder plant near here. Dupont officials after an all-day investigation is- sued a statement saying: We have no ground to suspect the explosion was the result Of anything other than an acci- dent Many sensational rumors have been current, but all are groundless as far as our information goes.
 '.ro placards giving warning of planned explosions were posted at Carney's Point, \. !, or along the Brandywfne creek here. Neither was an electric wire dis cover co leading to the plant from the op- posite side of the creek as was reported. The company has no reason to place any credence in reports that the disaster was or outside the works
 A,evised list of the dead puts the num- Der at 30, but it was learned tonight that 2at,ick Donahue, another workman, had not been seen since the disaster and 1t is feared he was killed
 One of many rumors circulated ho1e to- day was that workmen in the Dupont plants recently had discovered particles of steel filings in the powder under pro- c.sss Of manufacture. These particles of metals, it was said. In passing through one of the presses used to mould the loose powder into blocks, might have caused the spark that set off the blast.

 Baron Cederstrom, the communica- tion states, says that the entire Ger man aeroplane production is under going complete revolution. the change being made from light to heavy ma- chimes, the latter capable of carrying immense loads. including guns, wireless apparatus, petrol, bombs and signaling devices.
 Describing one such machine on
 nich he made trip the Baron says it was a mammoth battle biplane of improved design and of enormous di- mensions, being nearly three times the size of the ordinary Albatross type, with immense lifting power, great stability and notable speed and carry ing an unparalleled weight of armor, artillery, petrol and provisions and a very large crew.

Grecidn Prince Says NdtiOn'S Best Interest Is
 In Strict Neutrality

Athens November 14-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press, )-"we believe that 1t is better for Greece to make sure of keeping what she has got than to risk what she has just won in two bloody, costly wars in the hope of getting more.
 One of the princes of Greece was speaking to the Associated Press cor respondent, explaining the attitude of the royal family of Greece which has been so much criticized both here and abroad. This is no time," he contin- ued "for a mere fox to be greedy. There are too many lions and tigers on the prowl for prey these days"
 If the royal state of the house of Schleswig- -Holstein- -Sonderburg- Gluck- burg (to give it its full title) is at stake in Greece at this moment, as many affirm. the fact would never ap- pear from the demeanor of those most concerned. If 1t is just conceivable, as has been declared, that the events of the next few months may leave Con- stantine I, King of the Hellenes. with out throne, the King himself seems to be the last person in Greece to sus- pect any such possible eventuality.
 DETERMINED ON NEUTRALITY
 He undoubtedly Is aware that the te- nacity with which he has held to his determination that Greece shall not enter the European struggle has brought on one political crisis after another in the country. He has followed with apparent equanimity the creation and fall of one cabinet after another and cannot be ignorant that he has set himself against the expressed will of his people and has driven the peoples idol, Elitherios Constantine Venizelos, into a political corner from which there appears to be no outlet; that he is looked upon as having be- come in fact, if not in name, the sole dictator of Greece's future destines.

M|STR|AL DECLARED
 IN WATSON CASE AND COURT IS ADJOURNED
Vote Stood Ten to Two for Acquittal-No Indication as to the Governments
 Future Course

Augusta, Ga, December 1.-After be- ing hopelessly deadlocked for 30 hours, the jury trying Thomas E. Watson of Thomson, Ga, editor. charged with sending obscene matter through the mails, at S:3S o'clock tonight was dis charged and a mistrial erdered by Judge W. w. Lambdin, in federal court here. According to statements of ju- TOTS, the vote stood 10 to 2 for acquittal from the first to the last ballot.
 Judge Lambdin called the jury into court tonight after a conference with counsel for both sides in which 1t was agreed that should a verdict not be reached tonight a mistrial should be taken. c. F. Brown of Tennille, Ga foreman of the jury, stated in court that it was impossible" for the jury to agree and on the judges question ing other jurors, J. A. Crawford of Martinez Ga, rose in the jury box and declared:
 "Your honor, this jury might remain here 30 years and it would never reach a verdict.
 Judge Lambdin then ordered a mis- trial and court was adjourned. Watson returned to Thomson before the jury was called in
 Several of the jurors, including c. J. Skinner of Richmond county. P. E North of Augusta and Foreman Brown stated later that the vote had been 1a to 2 for acquittal on the first ballot and n c. Dent of Waynesboro were the ju- TOTS who held out for conviction, ac- cording to statements made by North, Brown, and several other jurors.
 Watson was placed on trial Friday last, charged with using obscene and otherwise unlawful language in issues of his pub hcations. The articles specified in the indictment were three parts of serial entitled 'The Roman Catholic Hierarchy The Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties and Our Civilization which appeared in his monthly magazine, and an editorial headed Another Maria Monk Case Comes to Light in New Jersey a Few Days Ago. the editorial appearing in the de- fendant's weekly paper.
 Watson, member of the Georgia bar, acted as his own leading counsel, and sought to get into the evidence his mo- tives in using the language objected to, as well as alleged motives behind the pr osecution. The court ruled. however, that the issue rested solely upon the ques- ton of Watson's responsibility for mail- ing the publications and upon whether or not they were unlawful under section 211 of the federal penal code Watson assumed responsibility for mailing the matter but denied that the language was obscene. The indictment was returned in 1913, after previous indictment had been quashed on a technicality and after one federal grand jury had refused to indict Watson on similar charges. The articles were published in 1911 and in 1912.
 There was no indication tonight as to whether or not the district attorney would press for another trial. There were ap- proximately 100 spectators in the court room when the final order was taken.
