PURPOSES OF PEACE
 LEAGUE OUTLINED
Proposes Hearing Of Nations Dis
 putes Before Going to War /

Lake Placid, N. Y., Aug. 30.-Theo- dore Marburg, former American min ister to Belgium, and one of the or ganizers of the League to Enforce Peace, outlined the purposes of that organization in an address before the Lake Placid club here yesterday. By way of illustrating these purposes MT. Marburg discussed the question, often asked, he said, as to the attitude of the United States should Japan &C., quire by purchase Magda1ena Bay from Mexico, or Germany the Island of St. Thomas from Denmark.
 The question, he said, was not so difficult as it appeared. As it would involve an issue of political policy it would go, he declared, to the Council of Consolidation, and not the judicial tribunal. "But 1t is conceivable" MT. Marburg added, "that the league may endow the Council of Consolidation, as well as the World Court, with powers of injunction In fact, this must be done if the institutions are to prove practical. Suppose now the Council of Consolidation which entertained our complaint should decline to recognize the Monroe Doctrine on the ground that it is not part of International law and is not based on reason and justice. What then? The United States would be no worse off than un- der conditions at present existing. It would be free to go to war over the question without threat of the league taking action against it.
 Touches on Preparedness.
 Touching then upon the subject of preparedness MT. Marburg said
 'When a League of Nations shall see to it that States no longer make security will settle down on the world and old shibboleths will die away. So likewise will abatement of armamen,s come-not suddeny through an in ternatiOnal agreement, but gradually through disuse Just as individuals gradually abandoned the habit of carrying arms when they found that the State was protecting them so na- tions will, of their own accord, grad ually discontinue extravaganza mili- tary preparation when they find it no longer needed. Unfortunately. under existing conditions, we do need It still and it is the height of folly for rich State to neglect it."

GRANTS MRS. FAIRS
 SISTERS APPLICATION
Stamford Probate Court Allows Ad-
 ministration on Estate of Alleged -s Murdered Woman.

Stamford, Aug. 30-The probate court Saturday decided to grant the application of the sister, Mrs. Whilow of Bieland, Kas., for letters of admin istration on the estate of Mrs. Mar garet Fair of Darien who is supposed to have been murdered. A woman's body found in the woods in Darien in June 1914, was subsequently, iden- tified as that of Mrs. Fair. The court in it's action refused to grant a continuance of the hearing requested by Mr.. Keough of Norwalk, counsel for Fred Fair whose whereabouts are unknown at present. The attorney said it would cost his client $50, to reach the court room.
 State Policeman Verrilli testified that he found in the Fair house a scrap of paper which apparently had come from Glenbrook. It was ad- dressed to Fred and signed Margaret. It read to the effect that the writer wanted Fred to pay to her sister at once $500 obtained on her earrings and to let her sister know where she ;. was.
 been following the case, said that when the Fair house was searched nothing in the shape of bill of sale or transfer of jewels was found. Sub- sequent to Mrs. Fairs disappearance the womans jewelry was pawned. Fair and Jack Devereaux who were living on the Fair place in Darien 2 were arrested charged with knowl- edge of Mrs. Fairs death. They were bailed and their whereabouts are un- known to the police. Mrs. Fairs es- tate is thought to be worth from $5,000 to $1O,000.

with which those guiding the affairs of states have been accustomed to reckon.
 Ut proposes he said, ''to introduce economic and military force to secure the maintenance of international ob- legations. The league would apply to international affairs the system that has been found practical in internal administration in civilized states.
 Political Organizations.
 States as political organizations" he continued, 'seek the public ends and successful leaders convince their followers that theirs is the way to realize the public we'll being whether it be four more years of the full dinner pail or prohibition.'
 Professor Wilson asserted that

when a war policy involves conse- quences which the League of Peace proposes, peace policy would gen. erally be preferred by a sane leader, When peace is the best policy" he added, tits support will be more as- sured
 Sanction Hitherto Lacking.
 "The League of Peace also puts be- hlnd international agreements a sanction hitherto lacking" Professor wilson declared Tt has been as- sumed that treaties of the last cen- tury shows how far this is from the fact. This reason is simple. There has been no effective sanction be- hind the treaty. The league would afford such a sanction, particularly securing the safety and inviola bility of small states.''
 John A. Stewart.
 John A. Stewart, chairman of the American Peace Centenary commit tee, declared the league lis a prac- ticable plan prepared by practical men for an end which they regard as practicable of accomplishment after the European war is over.
 The league will fail in its mission. he said, If it go on the assumption that it will be able to bring all na- tions into membership" or having brought them into it, that that act alone will prevent war. The best that it can hope for," he said, lis to bring a preponderance of the worlds financial, physical and moral force into one compact, mobile. obedient organization, bound together by ties of selfish interest as we'll as by friendship, and above all by an all pervading moral sense and belief in the justice of the cause which they are undertaking to maintain.

Two Killed at Du Pont Plant.

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 Du Pont Powder company in the Upper Hagley Yards yesterday near here. The victims are Lawrence Cunningham, aged 46, of this city, and Hugh Gillespie, 35, of Hazelton, Pa. The two reports were terrific, being heard more than a doz- en miles away. Hundreds of windows in nearby houses were broken. Sev- eral hundred pounds of powder ex- ploded, 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. Officials gave out a statement for publicity to the effect that the blow-up was probably due to a spark Or grit in the powder, but in some quarters it is considered that spies in the employ of some European power are responsible.
 Several weeks ago Cunningham, who was killed today, dragged his brother safely from a burning mill following a powder explosion.

SMOKING ROOM FOR
 OLD WOMEN INMATES
Ramsey County Poor Farm to Erect New $15O,OOO Building for
 Females.

St. Paul, Aug. BOA silent little group of gray-haired women, some of the grandmothers and some great grandmothers, resting easily in com fortable rocking chairs with thin, blue ribbons of smoke rising from their merrschaum and calabash pipes will be one of the modernisms at the new $150,OO0 women's building now in progress of completion at the Ram sey county poor farm.
 For the old ladies are to have an elaborate smoking room, fitted in modern style, and said Mrs. Albert Moore, wife of the farm superintend- ent today, If the dear old souls want the walls covered with pictures of race horses, prize fighters and base ball players, they may have them"
 When we took a poll of the old ladies regarding the esta blishment of den for smoking" she continued, there was hardly a dissenting vote. We shall furnish the tobacco and we expect the smoker to be one of the most popular places of the institu- tion."
 Several of the old women are plan ming to color meerschaum pipes, while others declare they will retain their cob pipes despite their contrast to the furnishings.

BLOW UP POWDER
 PLANT AT ACTON
Two Men Killed By Explosion at
 Du Pont Powder Mills

Acton. Mass. Aug. 30.-With a shock that was felt within a radius of forty miles the glazing mill of the American Powder company which since the outbreak of the European war. has been working to its capacity blew up early yesterday. So far as known nobody was killed. The actual money loss to the company was not heavy, but it was stated that work on large orders would be held up probably for several weeks. Property owners in the surrounding towns, par ticularly in Maynard, were heavy los- CTS because of shattered windows
 The mill had been closed down since Saturday afternoon and the police of this town and Maynard expressed the belief that the explosion had been caused win intent to cripple the plant.
 Work at StandstilI.
 An official of the company said that it would take several weeks to install new machinery and that until this was done, work would be at a standstill. He pointed out that the glazing mill, where the powder enters upon its last stages of manufacture, is the only part of the plant whose loss at this time would stop the output. Provision is made for the occasional explosions that occur by having duplicate parts in readiness, but the only other glaz- ing mill in the plant here was de- stroyed by lightning 8 little more than a month ago.
 Armed guards have been stationed about the works several weeks but the mills are widely separated in an isolated part of the town and the dense woods and shrubbery in the vicinity offer easy concealment for any one wishing to avoid discovery.
 Shock Felt Forty Miles.
 Yesterdays detonation was unus- ually heavy. The shock was felt dis tinctly as far north as Manchester, N. H., about forty miles distant.
 The police last night, after day of Investigation, were unable to cast any light on the mystery of the explosion. Nobody had entered the l,so far as could be learned since it was shut down Saturday afternoon and none of the guards was in the immediate vicinity when the powder went off. From various circumstances in con- nect1on with the case the belief pre- l vailed that if the mill was purpose l ly blown up it was done by a person l familiar with the situation and we'll | acquainted with the vicinity and with the movements of the patrol.
 Spies Reported in Town.
 For the past few weeks there have been reports that spies were in town, but so far as could be learned the po- lice have no one under surveillance. man found on the road leading from the mill soon after the explosion, was detained. but was released upon giv- ng a satisfactory account of his move nents.
 A cartridge factory, has been opened recently in the .neighborhood of the powder works and it was understood ast night that until the glazing mill had been replaced work in the filling of cartridge orders would be greatly
