A statement given out tonight by P. C. Paris. superinten- dent of the plant. said
 Although I have not yet completed my investigation as to the origin of the fire, l do not see how it could have been accidental. Four or five men who happened to be in the neighborhood of the plant at the time the fire started were detained and held by the guards of the company until l could examine them. They were not held as suspects but only so they could aid our inves- tigation as to the cause of the fire Later all were allowed 10 return to their homess

WASHINGTON, Dec. r. - The Webb export bill to legalize com binations of American exporters in promoting their foreign commerce was passed by the senate late today, 51 to H. The measure was passed last June by the house and now goes to conference
 Business organizations h "a V 2 strongly supported the bill. which is the first step in the domestic legis lative program recently outlined by the president The measure pro- vides that prohibitions of the Sher man and Clayton antitrust laws against combinations for foreign selling shall not be enforced. pro vided trade in this country is not thereby restrained and that no agreements shai be made or acts done which artificislly or the ma tural consequences of which en- hances sor depresses prices within the United States or commodities exported"
 Opposition to the bill. led in the senate by Senators Cummins and Reed was based principally. on the argument that it virtually would re- peal provisions of the anti-trust laws as to foreign commerce. Its advocates urged it as necessary so that American exporters may he placed in position to compete with strongly organized or governments subsidized competitors of Europe.
 An amendment by Senator Cum mins to authorize only the main- tenance abroad of American joint selling agencies was rejected, 45 to IS.
 Senators voting against the meas ure on final passage were:

 Blaze Was An Accident

About four thousand shells, all loaded with T. \. T. but not as vet filled with shrapnel were exploded. An estimate of the damage is hard to make at this time but l believe it will not exceed $50,000
 The man killed was Theodore Jacob sen. chief of the companys guards.
 The shells continued to explode for more than an hour and the noise was heard for miles. causing the belief here and elsewhere that coast defense forts were firing upon hostile craft
 Some Of the shells fell in the out skirts of New Castle. a mile north of the plant. Bremen were unable to go near the burning building until the shells ceased exploding.

LABOR SITUATION
 IN MINNEAPOLIS
 AT ACUTE STAGE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ST. PAUL. Minn.. Dec. 12-The labor situation in Minnea polls and St. Paul reached an acute stage again tonight with the proba bility that a large pro- portion of union men Iii both cities and some throughout the northwest would quit work tomorrow as protest against the order of the public safety commission of Minnesota directing the disuse by street car men of buttons in- dicating their membership in the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees. Labor leaders estimated on the face of in complete reports that eighty per cent of the unionists in the Twin Cities would walk out tomorrow and that railroad shopmen from St. Paul to the Pacific coast might follow.
 Union officials declared they recog- nized the hardships such a sympathe- tic strike would involve but declare they cannot help acting in matter that involves what they consider a big principle. Word from Washington in- dicated little chance of federal action.
 Chief among the various industries that would be partly tied up by d strike are the three great railroads running from the Twin Cities to the coast--the Great Northern the North ern Pacific and the Chicago Milwau- kee and St. Paul. If large proportion of mechanics in their shops at various points should go out it is admitted that the roads would be seriously handicap ped and that military traffic as well as transportation of foodstuffs and live stock would suffer A half dozen other important roads have shops here.
 There was no change today in the street car service which company of- fieials declared today was ss per cent normal in Minneapolis and 90 per cent in St. Paul

OHIO IS
 STARVED FORCOAL
rRepublioan A. p. Leased WireI

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. Ex-Governor James NJ. Cox tonight branded the agi- tation for coal for the northwest while Ohio literally was being starved to death as an "unspeakable outrage. declaring he had discovered it was move Co enable coal operators to get prices higher than those fixed by Pre- sident Wilson under the fuel control law.
 In statement issued tonight Gov ornor Cox declared he would bring it at once to the attention of President Wilson. He said Dr. HsA. Garfield, federal fuel administrator. should be called on Co explain why he placed F.. C. Baird at the head Of the lake ship ping pool.
 Governor Cox declared that when he called on Mir. Baird ,oday for the re- lease of lake coal now idle on sidings. Baird not only wanted the state to stand responsible for payment to the operators, but stipulated the price to be paid must be the higher contract price which it would have brought if delivered to the northwest.
 The northwest had a season contract for coal and it was pointed out that the fuel control permitted previous contracts at higher prices to stand.
 After several days of appeals to Washington coal was moving in Ohio today. without the aid of the federal fuci administration and against the protest of Mir. Baird, it was said. Gov ernOr Cox took action which amounted virtually to cOnfiscation.
 ( least NNae CODfiGcat tiOrf from Mir Baird, who, according to Governor Cox, insisted that he and not the state, fuel administration had control over the disposition of lake coal, despite authorization to the latter to divert it. The federal government may not con- strue it as unlawful confiscation be- cause it authorized use of the coal for domestic consumption within the state
 Ohio railroads joined with Governor Cox and consented to move the coal as directed by him.

MAURICE TELLS IF
 WAR OPERATIONS

I Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON. Dec. 12.-Major General F. B. Maurice, chief director of AIili- tary operations at the British war of flee, today in talk with the Associated Press outlined the campaign that re- suited in the fall of Jerusalem to Gen eral Allenbys forces.
 General Allenby entered Jerusalem yesterday" said General Maurice. The campaign which led to this has been carried out mainly by British territorial troops, supported by small bodies of Australian and New Zealand mounted men and British yeomanry.
 Tn the campaign as whole, the greater accomplishment has been not the defeat of the Turss. but the con- quest of the Sinai desert. The troops who fought at Gazd drank water from Egypt pumped through an American pipe line and were supplied over a broad 9uage railroad laid across the 150 miles of the Sinai desert which has defeated almost everybody that tried to conquer Egypt for centuries. Every ounce of material for the pipe line, the railroad and other works came either from Great Britain or the United States.
 All the time this conquest of the desert has been going on the official communications have been able to say only nothing to report and the public thought we were idle. The fall of Jeru salem was made possible by industry, organization and help of material from the United States
 Summing up the Cambrai situation in his weekly talk with the Associated Press General Maurice said:
 The final results in the sector showed that the British were consider able gathers in the amount of terri tory wrested from the enemy. The British and Germans are about even in the number of guns captured, with the total slightly in favor of the Brit ish in heavy guns The British also were slightly ahead of the Germans in the number of prisoners.
 The effect of the German attack or the British has been an enormous dis appointment in England. and the feel | ing among the public has been that the enemy has succeeded in neutraliZ- ing the effect of the whole British sue cess by the break through on com paratively small area in the south (Continued on Page Two)
