FEAR THAT 200 ARE DEAD
IN BIG CANADIAN FIRE
Several Small Towns Are Wiped En-

Ontario, Canada.

Englehart, Ont, July 31.-Forest
fires raging in northwestern Ontario

loss of from $50 to 200 lives. Other
scores of persons have been injured

die.
Several small towns have been
wiped out by the flames that have
been raging for 48 hours. Reports

GERMAN CREW LOSES
THE APPAM, PRIZE SHIP
U. S. Court Rules Vessel Wrongly
Brought In, and Without Any
Right Here.

Norfolk, Va.-Federal Judge Wad-
dill Saturday decided the libel pro-
ceedings for possession of the cap
tured British liner Appam in favor of
the English owners and against the
German prize crew which brought
her here.
The court held that the German
government lost all legal claim to the
Appam and her cargo as prizes of
war when Lieutenant Berg and his
prize crew on February brought
them into the neutral waters of
Hampton Roads with the intention of
laying up" the vessel indefinitely.
The court held further that the
Prussian-American treaty of 1899, re-
newed in 1929, does not apply or con-
troll in the case so as to guarantee
the prize crew asylum in U. S. wa
tiers.
That the action of the German prize
court in declaring the Appam prize
while the case was in litigation in
the United States courts has no eff.
feet on the jurisdiction of the courts
The jurisdiction of the United
States courts in the case is establish
ed by long line of presidents, in.
Guiding several by the supreme court.

EXCESSIVE HEAT
KILLS TWO AN HOUR
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN CHI
cAGo SATURDAY BRINGS UP
DEATH TOLL.
GREAT CROWDS TO THE LAKE
Temperature Was So De-
qrees-Lack of Bathing Suits Is
Cause of Panic-Fire Depart
ment Cooled With Water.

Chicago.-Excessive heat killed a
person every 80 minutes here Sat
urday, according to reports made to
the police and coroner's office. Heat
prostrations were reported by scores,
and countless acts of violence-from
murder to racehorse spill-were at.
tributed to the hight temperature
The maximum was SO degrees.
Lake Michigan afforded the only
real relief, and 25O,OOO or more per.
sons visited the various beaches dur.
ing the day. EARLY in the afternoon
several beaches ran short of bathing
suits, and crowds stood in line for
blocks, in Lincoln park half mile
waiting for chance to get into the
water.
At the Clarendon, the newest mu
nicipal beach, one man was injured
and about 20 more were overcome by
the heat when a crowd of 500 per
sons tried to force their way through
the doors, which had been closed be
cause all the suits were in use. TWEEN
ty policemen were required to quell
the disturbance.
In an effort to cool the streets and
thereby making sleeping easier, Fire
Marshal Thomas O'Connor ordered
the commanding officers Of all fire
engine companies to detail three men
from each company to sprinkle the
streets and sidewalks in every part

breaking heat wave here was reached
Sunday when the official thermom
eter eight floors above the street
level registered 1O2 degrees. On the
streets thermometers recorded from
LOG to LIZ degrees.
Seventy deaths in Chicago derict
ly or indirectly attributed to the heal

Potash from Cement Dust.

That an attempt to abate a seri-
outs nuisance, which was menacing
the orange groves of California, may
result in giving the country an ade-
quate supply Of potash for fertilizing
purposes and thus free the United
States from it's absolute dependence
upon Germany for this much-needed
commodity, is the belief of many
eminent officials.
In the past the United States has
paid tribute to Germany to the ex-
tent Of $20,00o,0o0 year for potash,
so necessary for enriching the soil,
especially in the cotton-growing dis
tricts of the south. The European
war, however, stopped these importa-
tons, and the federal chemists and
others accelerated their efforts to-
ward finding potash supply in this
country. The latest discoveries came
about accidentally. A great cement
mill in the orange-growing regions of
California was sending tons of dust
daily into the air, the winds carrying
orange groves, much to their detri-
ment. When the owners protested,
the cement mill men began buying in
the nearest groves at $1,000 an acre,
but finally had to give this up as be-
ing too expensive. Suits were filed
and injunctions asked. About this
time the attention of the cement mill
owners was attracted to an inven-
ton of Dr. F. G. Cottrell for the pre-
cipitation of dusts from smelter
fumes. The cement mill men decid-
ed to experiment with the new in
vention, and the Cottrell process was
installed. The surprising result was
that the new process not only elm
mated the dust fumes, but gave the
cement people product that con-
tanned great amount of potash. The
cement company last year, with pot
ash at wartime prices, sold 100000
worth, and it is said that the profit
was $4,000.
The result of this has been that the
cement companies generally are now
taking notice. Some cement mill men
declare that the present mills in this
country, properly equipped, are capa-
BILE of turning out 100000 tons of
potash yearly, which is about one
fourth of the amount imported from
Germany in normal times. 1t is fur
Their declared that there will be suf-
ficient incentive to establish new
mills located near deposits that are
rich in potash, and that in the fu-
ture no cement mill will have a hap
hazard location.
The stopping Of the dust nuisance
in California by the use of the Cot
trell process has suggested another
field of endeavor. Now chemists are
talking of applying this process for
the obtaining of potash from the
gases of the blast furnaces in the
manufacture of pig iron.
