the horses, which became excited, and after

loosened from the neck yoke and seeing
that his efforts were unavailing, the iriv-
er jumped from the wagon at the cor
ner of King and St. Paul streets, Casey
following him moment later. In turn

were now headed towards Their stable and

Home if Their Articles on Condi-
ton are Untrue.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. Especial cor
respondents attached to the various
militia units in this district were
made uneasy today by the news that
copies of their articles to home papers
dealing with treatment of the men
have been submitted to the various
commanding officers for investigation.
1t is learned that at the orders of the
War Department these officers have
been instructed to get at the truth of
the charges of mismanagemelt, incom-
petence and neglect made in these
articles.
If it is proved that the men have
been in any case made to suffer need
less hardships the blame will be
fixed. But if it can be shown that
there was no basis for charges that
caused the relatives of the guardsmen
great mental anguish, then the guilty
writer's will shortly see themselves
homeward bound.

HUGHES FORMALLY NOTIFIED
Republican Presidential Nomi nee At
tacks Wilson's Policies in New
York Speech of Acceptance

New York, Aug. Charles E.
Hughes tonight outlined in his speech
of acceptance the issues upon which
he will conduct his campaign for the
presidency.
Mr.. Hughes assailed the admins
tration for the course it has pursued
with reference to Mexico, mainten-
ance of American rights during the
European war, preparedness and
other great questions of the day. He
declared for a new policy of ''firmness
and consistency" toward Mexico. for
the unflinching maintenance of all
American rights on land and sea-, and
for adequate national defense; ade-
quate protection on both our western
and eastern coasts"
The nominee also assailed the adj
ministration for it's direction and
diplomatic intercourse" from the be-
ginning, declaring that where there
should have been conspicuous strength
and experiences there has been weak
ness and inexpertness. He cited fall
ure to continue Ambassador Herrick
at his post in Paris after the war had
started as a ''lamentable sacrifice Of
international repute."
81 indorse the declaration in the
platform in favor of woman suffrage"
Mr.. Hughes declared. And he added:
81 favor the vote for women"
One-fourth of the speech was de-
voted to Mexico. Step after step taken
by the administration with reference
to Mexico was assailed-
America, Mr.. Hughes said, had no
policy of aggression toward Mexico,
no desire for any part of her territory,
but wished her to have peace, stabil-
ity and prosperity.
Safeguarding of American rights
Mr. Hughes said, by the administra-
ton. There had been brave words
in a series of notes." but what does
it avail to use some of the strongest
words known to diplomacy if ambassa-
doris can receive the impression that
the words are not to be taken seri-
ously?"
The nominee reiterated his declara-
ton that had this government left no
doubt that it meant to hold Germany
to "strict accountability" there would
have been no loss of life on the Lusi-
tania
The large audience which crowded
Carnegie Hall to capacity cheered for
several minutes when Mr.. Hughes ap-
peared shortly after 8 o'clock.
The nominee, recognizing Theodore
Roosevelt in one of the boxes, waved
to him, and Colonel Roosevelt clapped
his hands in acknowledgment.

STORED MUNITIONS BLOW UP
Explosion and Resultant Fires Cause
Property Damage Estimated at
s25, 900 900 Near New York.

New York, July 31.-Property loss
estimated at rs million dollars was
caused early today by the series of
terrific explosions of ammunition
awaiting shipment to the Entente AL
lies and stored on Black Tom island.
a small strip of land jutting into New
York bay off Jersey City.
The loss of life still is problematic
tonight. 1t will not be determined
definitely until there has been oppor-
tunity to check up the workmen en-
ployed on the island and on boats
moored nearby.
Three are known to be dead and at
least five are missing. Scores of per-
sons were injured, some of them prob
ably fatally.
The detonations, which were felt in
five states, began with a continuous
rapid fire of small shells, then the
blowing up of great quantities of
dynamite, trinitrotoluene and other
high explosives followed by the burst
ing of thousands of shrapnel shells
which literally showered the sur
rounding country and waters for
many miles.
Fire that started soon after the first
great crash that spread death and
desolation in its wake, destroyed thir-
teen of the huge warehouses of the
National Storage Company, on Black
Tom island, in which were stored
merchandise valued between II and
Is million dollars.
In the downtown section countless
windows were broken, scarcely an Of
flee building from the Battery to Fiji
tieth street escaped damage. More
than a score of persons, according to
the police, were injured in Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn from the flying
glass.
