CHESTER, Pa. April l1.-Fire in
refuse shed on the river side Of the

panic yesterday afternoon among 100
Negroes who were employed in clear
ing away the debris OF pavilion T. The
men who were drafted by the yard
superintendents from the night shifts
were searching for bodies when the
company alarm sounded soon after 5

Besides these, there are 96 bodies
In the Chester morgue too terribly

Two suspects Of the plot were ar
rested late last night at the Pennsyl-
Vania station at Chester by Depart
ment Of Justice officials. Their names
we're withheld.
The two men bought tickets FOR
Philadelphia. went out on the plat
form but let the train 60 by. They
had been under surveillance by Off

Sufficient evidence Of their con-
nection in the plot was found TO war

for further examination.
It is thought further arrests will be
made during the day.
Work viii be continued today along
three lines:
Further identification Of the dead.
A more careful search through the
ruins for additional bodies.
A most rigid investigation into the
cause Of the disaster.
Federal, State and County officials
are cooperating in running down all
clues that have bobbed up leading TO
the belief that it was the diabolical
work of an incendiary. Il is practical

LAW STUDENTS Of
j. Of F. DRILL

While military drill is compulsory
for the majority of students at the
University of Florida, seniors. stu
dents in the law department, and sew
eral individuals by special permits
sion, have always been exempt and
have taken no part whatever in the
military affairs of the university.
Last week, however, a new company
was formed, voluntarily, by the stu
dents of the university, who had pre-
viously been exempt from military
drill, placing themselves under q
rigid discipline and the same laws
that govern the university battalion.
This new company was organized
about week ago with big pa
triotic demonstration in the law
building. Each afternoon at 4:30 this
new company is putting in an hours
hard work, taking up military edu-
cation from the rudiments to the
more complicated field maneuvers
and camp practice. Major Walker,
the commandant at the university, is
very enthusiastic over the volunteer
company and will lend all the TINS
he can possibly spare from his other
duties in making the new unit as ef-
ficient as possible in the short space
of time between now and the close
of school.
Heretofore the military course al
the university has been taken by the
students in most cases, only because
they couldn't get out of it and they
"held their nose" as it were. while
they were taking it. Since the United
States has entered war, however, the
attitude towards the military de-
partment has gone through a radical
change and the interest and enthus-
iasm that the students are taking in
military affairs is remarkable.
At a meeting of the general faculty
of the university a few days age
resolutions were passed concerning
the attitude of the faculty and stu
dent body of the university toward
the policy of the government in the
present crisis for the purpose of put
ting any student who might see fit
to enter the service of the country
in this time of need, at liberty to do
so without fear of losing his chance
for a deeree. There is not a slack
err" in the University of Florida,
among faculty or student body, they
know their responsibility and their
duty and privilege, and as states
institution, representing young men
from all over the state, from all
classes of homes and families the
University of Florida at Gainesville,
is with Uncle Sam and the Stars
and Stripes to a fighting finish.

RED CROSS NOTES

The Pensacola chapter of the
American Red Cross Society yester-
day formally accepted offer recently
made by the United States Govern
ment to allow the use of two rooms
in the federal building for the WORK
of the Red Crof . in Pensacola.
The headquarters, which through
the kindness of Mr.. Thomas Brent,
are now maintained in the Brent
building, will be moved to the govern
ment building about the middle of
May, two rooms to be devoted to the
use of the Red Gross.
This is the first time in the history
of the Red Cross that the govern
ment has offered space to any organ
ization, and the Pensacola chapter is
most fortunate in having these rooms
placed at its disposal. Janitor SER
vice, lights, protection, ice water, etc.,
will be furnished free of charge, in
addition to the use of the rooms
which have been assigned for the
work. The chapter will also be al
lowed to give publicity to the work
through posters and placards placed
in the government buildin~,Nto take
enrollments, solicit funds, or carry on
any activities incidental to the work.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the cities and towns
adjacent to Pensacola. Mrs. Arthur
w. Ranney, chairman of the Century
chapter, and number of other prom
inent women of Century, made the
trip from that city by automobile
