WOULD COMPEL SHIPS
TO ACCEPT FREIGHT
Senator Thomas Introduces Amend.
ment to Shipping Bill-Passage
Still in Doubt.

Senator Thomas Of Colorado today in
troduced an amendment to the shipping
bill which would authorize the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to refuse clear
ance to any vessel whenever he has
satisfactory reason to believe that off,
GERS of the vessel refuse to accept
freight from a citizen of the United
States, unless refusal is based upon the
fact that the ship is fully laden.
Urging his amendment, Senator
Thomas submitted some general COM
ments on the bill, declaring that he
would have preferred the measure be-
fore the Senate committee and caucus
had "emasculated" it.
Prospects for passage of the shipping
bill were still in doubt when the SEN
ate met, there being no chance to get
unanimous consent for vote unless
Senator owen should yield in his de-
termination to press the corrupt prac-
tices bill. Democratic leaders have thus
far been unable to move Senator Owen.
Senator Simmons said If Senator Owen
would agree to let the corrupt practices
bill go over until December. passage
of both shipping and revenue bills could
be accomplished within ten days
In an effort to bring about some agree
ment leaders of both parties began a
series of informal conferences early in
the day.

FOUR ESCAPE INJURY
IN VIOLENT EXPLOSION
Low-Temperature Building of Bu-
reau Of Standards Damaged
This Morning.

A violent explosion, which blew out
the low-temperature building OF the
bureau Of standards and did minor dam
age to the sturdy apparatus contained
on the premises. occurred at HIS this
morning. Four employees OF the bureau,
who were within the building at the
time. had narrow escapes from injury
by flying glass and woodwork. No dam
age was done to the more delicate ap-
paratus contained In separate buildings
on the bureau grounds at Connecticut
avenue and Pierce Mill road.
According to DR.. S. w. Stratton,
chief of the bureau, who expressed
thankfulness that none Of the employees
was injured, the explosion was of a
decidedly minor nature. He voiced
the belief that 1t was brought about
by the yielding of a faulty container
to the high pressure of oxygen, and
anticipated when the low temperature
building. where gasses under high
pressure are stored. was constructed
separate from the other buildings.
j. w. Cook was in charge of the
work in the building, and was one of
the four men inside at the time of the
explosion. The names of the other
three men could not be ascertained.
but 1t was established that they were
on the staff of the gas laboratory.
Shortly after the explosion the work
OF cleaning up the debris and testing
the apparatus in the building was be-
gun. Employees not engaged in this
work were refused admission to the
premises.

ONE MORE LOCAL CASE
OF 1NFANTILE PARALYSIS
Blood Serums Sought From Those
Who Have Had Disease
and Recovered.

Another case Of infantile paralysis was
reported to the health department to-
day, making q total of five now on
record.
The latest patient is Anna Belle Car
penter. eight years old. residing at 161
Willard terrace northeast.
To infantile paralysis victims who re-
cover from the malady may como the
opportunity to check the spread Of the
disease or considerably reduce its raw
ages.
An appeal to persons who have been
AFFLICTED with the malady to offer blood
serum for treatment of new cases in
their early stages was issued today by
the health department. Already the
name OF one volunteer has been re-
treatment of infantile paralysis by
the injection Of blood serum from per-
sons who have had the disease Is not
definitely known to be efficacious. ac-
cording to a statement issued by Health
Onicer Woodward today. but it's use Is
sound in principle, he states; and, IN
some instances. has seemed to have DEF
mite curative effect.
In order to be efficacious. 1t must be
used in the very earliest stages of the
disease, as 1t Is of no value after the
spinal cord has become damaged. he
According to the health officer. 1t is
important to have blood serum avail
able for any patient who desires such
treatment, and the serum must be col
lected beforehand and preserved artifi-
ciaiIy. The names and addresses of per-
sons who are willing to serve as donors
DR.. woodward said. will be regarded as
confidential. unless the person who pro-
poses to donate blood valves the ban
of secrecy.

900, 900 Shells Fired
During "a Hours by
Allies on West Front

HEADQUARTERS OF GERMAN
ARMY GROUP ON THE SoMME
FRONT. Saturday. August IL. via
Berlin to London, August 1.-THE ex-
penditure Of artillery ammunition by
the entente allies on this front has
reached a prodigious volume, often
striking the rate of thirty-two shells a
second during drumnre. Not infre-
quently along the entire Somme front
nearly 10000 shells have been dropped
IN an hour, while a conservative esti-
mate puts the average for the twenty
four-hour period at more than 1000, 900
shells.
With this rate of fire the financial
cost of the offensive IL naturally high.
What the approximate losses in human
material amount to 1t Is difficult to
estimate. That the losses Of the Brit
ish in certain actions have been fright
full is affirmed by German officers, who,
on the other hand, frankly admit that
their own losses have been far from
light, though all insist that they were
not nearly SO heavy as the British.
The German expenditure in ammuni-
tion has been much lighter than that
of the British for the reason that the
German artillery concentrates its
efforts on special objects. such as
trenches, transports and reserve bases.
while the British often screen off whole
sectors, taking nightly under their fire
all the villages and roads behind the
German lines within the range of their
guns.

campaign committee to aid the demo-
Gratis, and before the luncheon conferred
more than an hour with these leaders,
who were cambridge Colby. Matthew
Hale, Albert D. Nortoni. ]. A. H. Hop

cratic national committee accompanied
and joined in the conference.
1t was claimed by the progressive
leaders today that at least rs per cent
of the progressive vote will be cast for
President Wilson and that this means
that he will carry the usually doubtful
states of the east, including New York,
New Jersey, Massa achusetts and Con-
necticut. New Jersey democrats have
been writing to the White House re-
Gently that the prospects in that state
have grown much better in the last
few weeks.

the epidemic. Health Commissioner
Emerson said 1t was by no means GER
tain New York's 100000 school chill

resume their studies as early as that.
Definite plans cannot be made because
1t is impossible to foresee whether the
disease can be checked or whether the
