While the fire is thought to have
been caused by an explosion of grain
dust, theory was advanced that it
may have been caused by a bomb
This theory will be investigated, it
was said.
The blast blew out the 90-foot tower
or upper elevator, and in an instant
the whole building was ablaze.
Conservative estimates placed the
loss at more than 81 OO0, 900 This rep

Scores of men barely escaped with
their lives. Thirty four grain handlers
and stevedoreS who We're caught in
the hold of the Wellback Hall fought
their way to freedom over the piles of
grain. Gaining the deck of the ship,
they found their way cut off by the
flames. Some of them jumped over
board and were picked up. Launches
ran alongside and took off the others
Two gangs of grain handlers i'm

and burning wood and only a few es-

nounced tonight by Homer E. keyes,

Hopkins is a graduate of Dartmouth
and was formerly it's secretary.
Mr.. Hopkins was elected at special
meeting of the trustees held today in
Concord y. II. He will be one of the
youngest college presidents in the coun-
try. being less than 40 years of age. He
was born in Dunbarton, \. H., in 1877. the
youngest son of a Baptist clergyman, and

President Nichols. who has been at the
head of the college since 1909. resigned
recently to become professor of physics
at Yale university.
Makes Statement
In a statement outlining the educational
policy which he purposes to adopt Mr..
Hopkins said 1t has always seemed to
me SO obvious that the method in curric-
ulum is so much more important than
the content that my own confidence has
always been far greater in the old-time
classical and mathematical training as a
basis for the curriculum than in some
of the more modern combinations. The
value of enlarging mental perceptive and
enforcing mental discipline has been nue.,
more impressively proved than has the
value Of a great proportion of the sub
jects thrust into college programs in re-
cent years.
Inc WlQe distribution OF dartmouth
alumni throughout the country and the
widespread areas which are presented ir
the undergraduate body make herein q
peculiar way a national college, as do al
her traditions. Her responsibility is con
sequently particularly large to realize hel
opportunities to the full in rendering ser.
vice to our national development in the
years Of adjustment which lie before u.s.

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-06-14
Possibility Considered

Secretary Lansing and his advisors
are said to have given careful consid-
Grafton to the possibility that the adj
miniStration might he charged with
playing politics in dealing with the
problem. The rapid spread of anti
American propaganda in northern
Mexico. however, coupled with in
creasingly grave economic conditions,
may take the situation ont of their
hands. No official would venture
prediction tonight as to what might
be expected in the immediate future.
In common with some consuls in Mex
leo, they believe that almost any
eventuality is possible with agitators
working on the feelings of a people
distressed by the fruits Of prolonged
disorder. 1t was stated positively
that the Washington government was
considering no legislative action. but
stood ready to act should assault on
Americans or an attack on Pershing's
forces force the issue
Reply Will Be Rebuke
A sharp rejoinder is being prepared
to the Carranza note. 1t will repeat
the determination of President Wilson
to keep American troops in Mexico un-
til the Carranza forces have shown
their ability and intention to properly
police the border states.
1t is also to rebuke the de facto gov
eminent for the suggestions and
statements in it's note questioning the
good faith of the Washington admin
istration. Some regard parts Of the
Mexican note as insulting to a degree
not to be tolerated and if their advice
is followed, it's author will be callad
to sharp account.
Secretary Lansing has had before
him a mass of data dealing with the
assertions Of fact set up by the Mex
lean note. He expects to be able to
refute most of these statements, and
the daily crop of messages from Mex
leo telling Of new disturbances will
supply additional evidence that he de
ercise the control which it claims over
the border states.
Many officials are convinced that the
de facto government is tottering and
think Gen. Carranza may have sent
his belligerent note with the deliber-
ate purpose Of provoking the Wash
ington administration to intervention.
The state department today receiv-
ed confirmation of the identif1cations
of one of the Mexicans killed in the
Coleman ranch raid as Lieut.. Col. Viii
lareal Of the Carranza army. 1t is
understood that the development i'm
mediately was called to Gen. Carran-

PROPER WAY TO Boil. CORN
Many Cooks Make Mistake af Putting
It Into Hot Water When Starting
to Prepare It.

Not everyone knows how to boil corn
properly Most cooks overdo the mat
ter. Contrary to the usual practice,
corn should be put on to cook in cold
water, not hot. Strip off the outside
husks of fresh, tender corn, turn back
the soft inner husks and rub off every
bit of the silk. If there are imperfec-
tions in the kernels cut them out, then
turn back the inner husks and tie in
place with one of the outside covers.
Place in a rather road-bottomed ket-
lie, cover with the clean outside husks
and pour on cold water enough just to
reach the top of the corn. Put on the
kettle cover and set over a quick fire
Watch closely and when the water
reaches the boiling point cook exactly
five minutes longer. Lift the kettle
from the fire, take out the ears and
serve at once in a servietre. Even If
you do not wish to use the husks in
The cooking land they give the real
corn flavor that cannot be duplicated
in any other way cook your corn in
cold water
Where the corn is husked and milk
is plenty delightful way is to cook
the corn in cold milk. Allow it to
cook Just five minutes after reaching
the boiling point.-Emma Paddock Tel

WAYS OF THE COWBIRDS.
They Think They Can Sing and Won't
 Build Nests For Themselves.

Just as man k known by the com pany he keeps. so this bird is named for the COWS which he follows all day. Why the bird prefers the company of the COWS has always been mystery. Once fl was thought be ate flies which followed the cows. but recent eNamina- tions show that the birds favorite food consists of weed seeds and grass hoppers. Yet he'll follow the animals all day sometimes perching on their backs to steal a ride You've guessed his name. the cOwbird.
 Farmers have learned to value this bird very highly He destroys millions of harmful insects and quantities of weed seeds. But then he should be able to do a lot of good work for the farmer, because the bird has no family cares.
 Mrs. Cowbird. you see, Instead of building a nest of her own, lays her egg in the nest of another bird, usually picking out the nest of a bird much smaller than herself. She always de pends, too. on the good naturedneSs of the owner of the nest to hatch the egg and rear the young bird.
 Sometimes the owner of the home will push the strange egg out on the ground. The yellow warbler often goes to work and builds another nest over the intruder. Other birds hatch the strange egg. and then spend much time and energy feeding the young bird
 You'll know the cowbird by his brown head and neck and glossy black coat He thinks he can sing and tries very hard, but you'll laugh at his efforts when you hear hIm. - Philadelphia North American.
