13 DEAD FROM BLASTS
Collapse Of Two Buildings During
Storms in Three Different Cities.
Explosion at Haskell, N. J.

New York.-Two explosions and the
collapse of two buildings of plant
during a storm, in three different cit
les of New York and New Jersey, are
estimated to have taken a toll OF at
least 13 lives, and to have caused the
serious injury of at least sc other per-
sons, some of whom are reported to
be fatally hurt. In addition 1t is re-
ported that several persons are miss
ing in each one of the three disasters.
Probably the heaviest loss of lives
occurred in Brooklyn, where the ex-
plosion of an ammonia tank in
butcher shop caused the collapse OF
the structure, three-story building,
and buried the dead and injured in
the debris.
In an explosion of undetermined or
igin, near Haskell, N. j., one OF the
mills of the Du Pont smokeless pow
der plant, was wrecked and five work
men are reported to have been killed
and 80 others were injured.

NEW MEMPHIS BRIDGE OPEN
Harahan Bridge Makes Memphis the
Great Southern Gateway East
and West.

Memphis. over the new
Harahan bridge across the Mississip-
pi river here was opened July Is. Four
Rock Island passenger trains crossed
during the day.
The Iron Mountain trains began
crossing the new bridge Sunday, and
every westbound passenger and freight
train over the Rock Island, the Iron
Mountain and the Cotton Belt were
routed across the new bridge. The
bridge is now open in full blast.
Between 40 and so passenger and
freight trains will use the bridge daily.
Operating officers of the Arkansas &
Memphis Railway Bridge and Termi-
nal Company and of the three proprie-
tary roads are ready to handle all
kinds of traffic.
The opening of the Harahan bridge
makes Memphis unquestionably the
greatest southern waterway east to
west. The new and the old bridges
are the connecting links between the
great southeast and the rich south
west, and Memphis is the gate to both
sections.

HAD 60 MARINES ON BOARD
Tho Hector, Bound From Port Royal
For santo Domingo, In At
Iantio Storm.

Charleston, S. C.-The large naval
collier Hector, carrying so marines, in
addition to her crew Of 70 men and IL
officers, sank off Charleston, according
to a report made here by Capt. F. r.
Hunt of the tug Vjgilant, which tried
to go to the Hector's assistance. The
steamer Alamo had been standing by
the collier all day, having responded to
her calls when the collier was disabled
some 60 miles off here in the hurri-
cane.
Capt. Hunt was unable to get within
more than three miles of the Hector,
and states conditions were such that
no wireless report could be obtained
from the Alamo. The sea was rum
ming high and it was not known wheth-
er the Alamo had been able to take
off the 142 passengers aboard the Hec-
tor.
The Hector left Port Royal for Santo
Domingo, carrying the marines who
were recruits for the United States
forces in Santo Domingo and Cuba.
She attempted to put into port here
when the storm disabled her, but, ac-
cording to Capt. Hunt, was unable to
get further than to within about nine
and a half miles from the Charleston
lightship before she sank. Capt. Hunt
said part of the Golfers superstructure
remained above water. The Hector
displaced 11,2O0 tons and was built at
Sparrow's Point, Md, in 1906.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF FORM

London.-The heavy fighting that
has been going on for days in the re-
gion of the Somme has dwindled in
intensity, Sunday witnessing merely
heavy bombardments on the British
front and comparative calm on the
line held by the French.
In the region of Verdu9 the French
northwest of the fortress have cap
tured German positions and southwest
of Thiaumont on the east bank OF the
Meuse have penetrated German first
line trenches
In the eastern theater in the region
of Lutsk heavy fighting has commenc-
ed again, with the Russians the ag-
gressors. According to Vienna. all at
tacks have been repulsed. Neither
the Vienna nor Petrograd official COM
munication touches upon the opera
tions in the Carpathian region, but
Petrograd records the capture from
the Turks by the Russians OF the I'M
portant town of Baiburt, in Turkish
Armenia, go miles south Of the Black
Sea port of Trebizond.
South of the Somme the Germans,
July Is, in strong attacks, launched
under the cover of fog, captured Le-
Maiscnette and the Village of Biaches,
while further south they penetrated
first-line French trenches. From all
these places they were driven out
later by the French in heavy counter
attacks. In the Champagne region
there is again great activity by the
French troops, who are being aided by
I the Russians who recently came to
EraRca.

Chihuahua City.-All lines of com
munication from here southwark have
been cut off by Villa. Intense excite,
ment prevails here. The bandit is be-
1ieved to be on his way to take the

road track north of Jiminez had been
torn up for miles. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires also have been cut.
Villas action isolates Gen. Trevino's
large force here and prevents rein
forcements being sent to the small
Carranzista garrisons at Parral and
Torreon. The bandit is reported to
have divided his forces, number 5000
men. One division is marching on
Torreon, while the other will attack

ESTIMATES GIVEN SENATE
From Typhoid and Malaria
Enormous.

Washington.-Typh and malaria
in the United States each year, ac-
cording to estimates given the senate
by Chairman Ransdell of the senate
committee on public health, in an ad-
dress on Rural Health-America's
First Duty"
"Over $900,00O,O00 lost every year!"
exclaimed the senator. "a sum which
is sufficient to put our country into a
state of preparedness equal to that OF
any nation in the world, enough money
to give us the largest navy afloat and
the most efficient army which the
world has ever seen, is, annually Of
fered up as sacrifice to two diseases
which are entirely preventable.
Enough money to pay the annual ex-
penses of every college student in the
United States is absolutely thrown
away every year"
Senator Ransdell estimated the an
nual loss from typhoid fever at $271,-
932, 800 and from malaria at $694,9O4, :
ITO.
BY comparative estimates it was
shown that the United States govern

LABOR BUREAU REPORTS
Analysis of 20 Articles Shows Only
Advance Last Year Was In Wheat,
Flour, Cornmeat and Sugar.

Washington.-The cost of living, at
ter rising steadily since 1907, exceD.
in 1911, took a downward trend dur
ing 1915. A report by the bureau of
labor, analyzing retail prices of 20 ar
ticles of food, shows that relative re-
tail prices during 1915 averaged one
per cent lower thas in 1914. Meats,
lard and eggs averaged from one to
nine per cent lower, while potatoes
were % per cent lower. Wheat flour,
corn meal and granulated sugar were
higher than in 1914, flour being 70 per
cent and sugar II per cent higher.
Commenting on statements that the
European war is the dominating In
f1uence now controlling price changes
of all commodities, the report says:
at is true that retail food prices in
creased greatly Immediately after the
outbreak of the war, and it seems
probable that they have been main
tanned at a higher level ever since
as a consequence of the increased de-
mand abroad for our foodstuffs. A
study of the retail price statistics OF
the bureau, however, will convince any
one that, with the exception of sugar,
-four and possibly corn meal, the
prices of the principal articles of food
since October, 1914, have been mainly
governed by local and seasonal con-
ditons and not by the extraordinary
exigencies brought about by war
"The price of sugar shot up So per
cent from July Is to Aug. Is, 1914. The
elimination of beet sugar coming from
Germany, Austria and Russia to the
American market has kept sugar
prices high during 1915.
"While flour did not jump in price
so spectacularly as sugar, the cutting
down of the area devoted to wheat
growing in Western Europe and the
cutting off of Russian wheat from
Western Europe, resulting from the
war, have so increased the demand
for American wheat and flour that
flour prices have advanced even more
than sugar prices.
"Beef prices increased suddenly at
the beginning of the war, but soon fell
again, since which they have behaved
normally"
