A FORMER BRUNSWICKIAN
BURNED BY XPLOSION
Earle G. Moore Victim of Terri
bic Accident in Tampa.

Following, from the Tampa Tribune
will be read with regret:
Earle G. Moore, a we'll known sales
man for the Tampa Bay Land Com.
pany. was seriously burned about the
face. shoulders and hands bv an ex
plosion of gasoline while he was en-
gagged in cleaning the motor of his
automobile in front of his residence
in Palma Ceia Park, shortly before 9
O'Clock yesterday mornig. He was at,
tended by DIR. II. o. Snow and DR.. i s
Helms. and later removed to the Cor
don Keller Memorial hospital. 1t is
not thought that his eyesight was de-
stroyed Mrs. Moore was painfully
burned about the hands in beating out
flames.
E. w. Monrone. Mr.. More's father
in-law, stated yesterday that the cause
of the explosion is complete mvs-
terry. Mr.. Moore, assisted by a negro
servant. had removed the hood of the
automobile. and, using a piece Of cot
ton waste and tin containing about
pint of gasoline, was cleaning the
motor, preparatory to enameling it.
Mr. Monrose stated that the motor
was cold. as it had not been running
at all. Suddenly the gasoline vapor
became ignited in some manner that
cannot be explained, as there was no
light near by, and neither Mr. Moore
nor the negro were smoking. The
flaming waste was scattered all over
the young man, isniting his clothes,
and burning his face and hair. Mrs.
Moore who was sitting in the car,
fastened to aid her husband in beat
ing cut the flames, and the physicians
were hurriedly summoned After his
burns had been dressed, he was re-
moved to the hospital in the ambul-
ance of the Henderon .Blount Com
pany.
The only theory that has been ad-
vanced to account for the explosion
is that in some way the electric wiring
of the automobile must have been dis
turbed resulting in cross circuit.
The explosion occurred directly be.
meath Mr. Moore's face, as he was
leaning over the motor and the tin
of gasoline; there was no flame on
the side of the car where the negro
was standing"
Mr.. Moore was born and spent many
wears Of his life in this city He was
here. some time ago accompanied by
Mrs. Moore, on their wedding trip.

German Newspapers Agree with
The Many Others in Saying
That From Present Indica-
tions the White Dove is Gone.

LONDON. Jan. f3.-The Swedish
press in general agrees that the allies
reply to President Wilson destroys all
hope of peace, according to Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company. The Stockholm Tid-
ningen is the most optimistic. The
paper considers that even if the al
lies peace offers are extreme, there is
still hope of compromise because 1t
is expected that Germany will now
also publish her peace terms.
Leavec Way Open.
The Tidningen calls attention to the
phrase in the allies reply demanding
free economic development of all
states and says that it indicates that
the plans for an economic war against
Germany after military operations
have been abandoned and leaves the
way open for further negotiations.
The Dagens Nyheter considers it
Germany's duty to continue the ne
gotiations as by merely saying that
the allies terms are impossible, "she
will not be playing the game"

dignity n glance at this document will
destroy the last fragment of a desire
for peace. 1t is impossible that
German can wish peace that has the
appearance foreshadowed by this doe
ument. The entente powers have now
established that this is war OF con
quest"
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says
that now, as heretofore. our enemies
strive for the realization of demands
which would result in the destruction
of German as a great power and con
denim the German nation to be stunted
and crippled.
