DEMAND PROBE
OF BIG SCANDAL
House Names Committee for
Search Into Cause of
Defective Munitions.

The House OF Representative went
into high gear yesterday on its way
to a thorough and final probing Of
the defective ordnance scandal at
Frankford Arsenal. Speaker Clerk
put a climax on a days rapid action
by appointing a committee of nine
representatives to conduct the In
Nestigation. The committee includes:
Dent, of Alabama. as chairman:
Fields, of Kentucky; Quinn. of Mis-
souri,; Gordon. of Ohio. and Shallen-
berger, of Nebraska. the five ranking
Democrats; and Anthony, of Kansas,
Mckenzie, OF Illinois, Greene, Of YER
mont, and NORM. of Pennsylvania,
four of the ranking Republicans. all
from the House Committee on Mill
taTy Affairs Representative Kahn, OF
California. was slated for a place on
the committee, being the ranking Re-
publican on the Military Affairs Com
mittee, but begged TO be excused as
he is leaving Washington for a
months rest.
The committee was named after the
House Committee on Rules had favor
ably reported on the resolution de-
manding a probe. The House rushed
the vote through with practically
none dissenting.
VIII BE Thorough.
That the House probe will be much
more thorough than that conducted
by the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs was the declaration today or
House leaders. Their assertion was
doubly borne out by the attitude OF
Chairman Dent and his fellow-com-
mitteemen, and by the powers con-
ferrcd in the House resolution, which
reads:
ITO inquire into the manufacture
and purchase Of ammunition and
ordnance, including small arms and
heavy artillery ammunition already
purchased, and the quality and con-
dition thereof for use by the armeo
forces of the United States in the
present emergency, and for such pur-
poses it shall have the power TO senu
for needed persons and papers ana
administer oaths and shall have the
authority TO report at any time"

Four Americans Dead.

Four Americans Dead.
Paris. Sept. S.-A 22-year-oId New
York boy whose father and mother
were born in Germany was among the
four Americans whose lives were
snuffed out by German bombs hurled
from the fleet Of Teuton airplanes
upon the Harvard and St Louis Hos
pitfalls in a French coast town last
Tuesday. He is Rudolph RUbino, t..
whose parents, two brothers and a
sister live in the Bronx. His death
is the first of the grim tricks Of
irony that the war between America
and German is expected TO play.
1t developed today that the hos
pital occupied by the Chicago unit
had a narrow escape from being
wiped out with its patients and
staff of doctors and nurses. 4 huge
bomb fell opposite the hospital. It
did not explode.
The four dead Americans are:
First Lieut. William T. Fitzsim
mons. Kansas City. He was adju-
tant to the colonel in charge of the
hospital.
Private Leslie c. Woods. streator.
Ills.
Oscar lie Tuge. Boston.
Rudolph Rubino, jr., New York.
Raid Is Deliberate.
All dispatches from the scene OF
the tragedy sgree that the raid was
deliberate, since no aviator could
have failed to recognize the clear
markings of the hospitals and Ger
man aviators had Circled the skies
above them several times in day
light.

LACK OF FUEL
CRIPPLES HUNS
Factories to Close Down in
Many Cities; Street Light
ing Suspended.

Copenhagen. Sept. S.-Diniculties
with the winter supply, of fuel in
Germany already are being felt. The
era Of voluntary or compulsory Sc
lection of the fittest establishments
for survival in various branches of
trade and industry already had open
ed and business will he concentrated
in these, while the others will shut
down, except those supplying heat and
light.
Butchers favor keeping their places
open late two afternoons a week,
otherwise to close with the sun. The
jewellers want to keep open only on
those days when artificial light is un-
necessary. which, during the north
German winter, are very few. The
city of Stettin already has suspended
street lighting entirely on account of
the lack of coal.
Reform Takes Back Seat.
The German press and public are
for the moment far more keenly in
terested in problems OF fuel and food
than in politics. Discussion Of ques-
tions of constitutional reform, except
for angry orders to President Wilson
to keep out Of German affairs, has
practically disappeared from German
newspapers since the Reichstag COM
mittee went home and the problem
of the potato is now the topic OF the
day.
Farmers are proclaiming an aban-
donment of the compulsory admins
tration of the crop and of maximum
prices and the return to the system
of commercial supply and demand as
a sole panacea to insure the neces-
sary supply for human consumption.
Crbanites, on the contrary, main
tain that unless the government per-
sists in it's determination to seize all
potatoes the profitable pig and steer
will get most of them because in no
year during the war has there been
such an incentive to use potatoes
for fodder as this year because Of
the very unfavorable fodder harvest
and humans would get potatoes only
at prices impossible for the poor.
Wants Ration Increased.
Vorwaerts demands an immediate
increase in the potato ration to ten
pounds weekly at a reduction in the
price and declares that it Is impos-
sible to work and sustain life on the
proposed ration of five and a half
pounds of potatoes. 1880 grams of
bread, 80 grams of meat and eighty
grams of fat. The newspaper SAYS
that this year the scant harvest of
oats and barley will not permit Of a
supplementary ration of oatmeal and
grits by which alone the people tided
over last spring.

NO WASTE In OIL.

Go back to the days when Pennsyl-
vania crude was So barrel or high
er in 1877 and before, and gasoline was
a waste product. There was no market
for It. Rehners were glad to get rid
OF II at almost any price, or even give
II away. In some instances thousands
OF gallons were dumped into the
streams as the storing OF 1t was a men
ace to the works, and there was no
future outlook for 1t. AS much Of the
lighter product as possible was left In
the kerosene, and the manufacturers
sought uses for 1t In various ways. Con-
ditions have reversed themselves.
Gasoline is the most desirable product
or petroleum. Instead of blending 1t
with the lighter grades of kerosene,
the latter Is being cut to make more
gasoline, and the gravity of the motive
power fluid is being reduced until 1t
has practically reached the gravity of
light kerosene. What was a waste
product has become an important ar
tlcle Of commerce, says Oil City Der
rick. A barrel Of oil. which In past
years lost a certain proportion In
waste, Is now utilized to the last pint.
The barrel of crude petroleum has In
creased In intrinsic value because
more of Its component parts have been
called for In the worlds industrial
growth. until now there is nothing
lost. Petroleum Eliminates and heats
the homes of thousands; 1t cooks
meals; it preserves canned foods; 1t
enters into dozens Of little household
duties which are made easier by Its
use; it turns wheels In great factories !;
1t drives locomotives speeds the auto
mobiles; has made airplane and sub
marine practical; does farm chores
smooths the roads; destroys pests; Is
valuable In medicine, and attracts the
highest scientific knowledge In its
study. From the humblest Of duties
to the greatest, petroleum plays iu
part, and to this perfect utilization Of
all its products Is due the higher
prices which 1t commands.
