NEW YORK, August 2.-After a

terminals in Jersey City here today, it
was reported that the railroads would
fight the resolution adopted yesterday

of the Black Tom island explosion by
prohibiting the shipment or storage of
high explosives within the city limits.

railroads would apply jointly to Fed

Director of Public Safety Frank
Hague announced tonight that be is

There was another explosion scare
among Jersey City officials late today
when Michael Mulligan, superintendent
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, reported
that the smoldering fire from tons of

WASHINGTON. August 2-Repre-
sentative Borland of Missouri renewed
his charges of beef trust in the house
today and demanded action on his reso-
luton proposing an investigation of
meat prices by the federal trade COM
mission. He declared the packers
were dividing enormous dividends while
they charged consumers high prices.
The Borland resolution, he pointed
out now, had been before the judiciary
committee for six months, during which
live stock prices had been going stead
lily higher.
THE same power which could put
down the cattle market in 1915, and
put il up while this resolution was
pending, could put 1t down again if the
resolution were defeated" he said.
THE packers now own or control
nearly everything that is valuable in
connection with the live stock busi-
ness.
The packers began country wide
propaganda among commission men
and cattle raisers to secure letters and
kilograms to members of congress op-
posing the investigation resolution
They felt that while the light of pub
licity is the principal weapon for cor
rection of economic wrongs, If they
expect to gain public confidence by
sitting a public inquiry they NAV find
that the result is exactly the opposite ,

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. Progress
i've leaders from several states who dis
approved Of the action Of the Bull
Moose national convention endorsing
Charles +. Hughes for president at its
meeting in Chicago June 20. will hold
a conference here tomorrow 10 consider
the adyisability Of reassembling the
party's national convention within
thirty days to nominate a candidate for
president as a running mate for John
NJ. Parker. Of Louisiana. nominee for
vice president.
John NJ. Parker. of Louisiana, who
issued the call for the conference. ar
rived tonight and conferred with pro-
gressive leaders from other states but
no definite plan has been agreed upon
Tor tomorrow's conference
A majority Of the party representa-
tives who are here are in favor Of nom
mating candidate for president but
admit that the principal objection TO
the plan is the apparent lack Of avail
able candidates.
Victor Murdock, of Kansas, appar-
entity is the choice of a majority of the
progressives for president, but he has
declined TO make the race.
lBainbridge Colby Of New York, who
made the nominating speech for-Roose-
welt at the progressive national con-
vention in Chicago last June, is men
toned as a possible candidate. but his
friends believe he will decline to run.
Another suggestion is that John NJ.
Parker, of Louisiana. be named for
president and another candidate Sc
lected for vice president.
A few of the progressives from cas-
tern states, will. it is said. oppose the
nf nd off hat
urge the endorsement of President VIII
son or fight TO have the conference ad-
journ without taking action of any
| kind. They doubt whether a majority
of the delegates to the progressive
national convention would respond to a
call to reassemble at this late date and
believe it would be a mistake to at
tempt to put third ticket in the field
in view Of existing conditions.
While the leaders who will attend
the conference are divided as to the
wisdom Of naming a national ticket at
this time they are a unit in protesting
against the action Of the Bull Moose
national committee in endorsing Mr.
Hughes and favor some action which
will tend to perpetuate the progressive
party as a national political organiza
ton.
Judge Albert d. Norton, of st. Louis
! apparently reflected the sentiment OF
"A majority of early arrivals when he
said:

committee exceeded its authority when
