Estimates today placed the

elusive of the 600 tons OF powder
which exploded.
Employees OF the navy yard
shops declared today that the re-

probably Vallejo itself was saved
by the bravery OF 20 bluejackets.
Immediately after the explosion,
while the flames were bursting out
among the ruins. they climbed to
the roof Of the guncotton maya
zine and fought off the flames
which threatened that building.

VALLEJO, Cal, July ~
Whether alien spies caused the
explosion which blew up the black
powder magazine at the Mare is
land navy yard, killing six persons
and injuring 3S others, will be de-
termined by a federal investiga-
ton which opened today.
Inasmuch as officers of the
navy yard declare the powder was
so stored that 1t could not have
exploded by spontaneous combus-
ton, and that the temperature of
the magazines was tested five min
utes before the blast, they are
said to be convinced that incen-
diarism was responsible.
Guard Slugged.
A few night ago, according to
reports, a marine guarding the
magazine challenged a man Turk
ing In the vicinity. Instead of
hating, the stranger approached
and simultaneously the marine
was slugged from behind and
knocked unconscious.
Another report of man, feign-
ing intoxication, who tried to buy
a marines uniform in Vallejo, was
also circulated.
A strict censorship was main
tanned on all developments today.

Could Veto Budget.
The German empire must have
approval by the reichstag of the
annual budget of expenses for the
war. If that parliamentary body,
in pursuance of its apparent an
tagonism to Chapcellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg or other minister
ial officers, withholds this vote, it
will be necessary, seemingly, for
the kaiser to remove. Hollweg and

The kaiser alone has power to

power, but ii cannot discharge
him.
Heretofore the kaiser's staunch
support has carried Hollweg thru
half a dozen crisis. The present
however. is made more
acute by the fact that the social
lists, centrists and rails are all sup
posed to be united against the
government. This would give
them a clear majority.
Resent Lying Reports.
Dispatches today declared the
disapproval is not only
of Hollweg, but of Admiral Won
minister of marine, and
successor to Won Tirpitz.
The latter is under violent
criticism for over-optimistic re-

The deduction is that Austria

do not contemplate annexations
and indemnities.
In this connection, recent con-
ferences which Count Won Hert-

cratic moves, are among those who
have brought the empire to po-
litical crisis.
What was of particular interest
to Germany was the assault which
is being made against Admiral Won
Tirpitz' successor as chief of the
frightfulness campaign. The OPP
position, it was held here, was the
logical outcome of a long CAM
paign of falsity as to the success
