Reports of threatened armed resistance
to the army drafts In isolated points of
Georgia and western North Carolina are be-
ing Investigated by the Department of JUS
tice.
Mountaineers and farmers in these re-
gions reported to have supplied them
selves with new Winchester rifles and am
muntion to fight the draft.
Special investigators have been assigned
to make a careful inquiry and stern meas
ures will be taken to repress any rebellion.
The reports were submitted by internal
revenue agents and Immediately transmitted
to the Justice Department They state that
speakers are touring mountain and rural
sections declaring the draft law uncon-
stitutional and advising farmers and noun
taneers to resist 1t. In North Carolina the
anti-draft sentiment is reported as wide
spread"
new and drastic ruling to cover mar
riage slackers" is being prepared by the
Government. After conference with
Secretary Baker, Provost Marshal General
Crowder is drafting a message to all State
Governors on how to meet exemption claims
following hastily contracted marriages.
When the boards get through with these
claims there will be smaller percentage
Of exemptions than have appeared likely in
the first reports, Crowder said today.
Thus far" he declared, mot a single
authenticated case of trickery attempted
to evade the draft physical examination has
reached me-" He said he believed few would
try to escape by sef-infiicted injury to the
heart or eyes
The opposition to the draft in the sections
mentioned In the foregoing dispatches Is
attributed to the propaganda of Socialist
agitators and publications. Among the So
cialist and radical publications circulated
in the affected sections are the Melting Pot,

DU PONT PLANT
ALSO DAMAGED.
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION SHAKES
CITIES OF FIVE ADJOINING
STATES
eBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.--Four hun
dred thousand pounds of powder was
destroyed by fire and explosion at the
Haskell, N. j., plant of the Du Pont
Powder company at $3.50 O'Clock last
night. Officials of the company de-
clared, after checking up the mem
bers of the night shift at the works,
that only two men were missing.
Twelve others were cut by flying
debris, but none of them was seri-
ously hurt No estimate of the loss
was obtainable.
The powder plant is located in an
isolated section of Passaic county.
The plant was kept in operation day
and night and the night shift was
at work when the magazine blew up.
The explosion was felt in five states.
1t is not known how many men
we're employed in the various build
ings, but it is the custom of the
company to have only few working
in each structure at the same time.
The plant was composed of many
small buildings located some distance
apart as a measure of precaution In
case of fires and explosions.
The Haskell plant was used for the
manufacture of powder. The village
Of Haskell was built in a semi-circle
around the works. Many OF the man
employed there lived some distance
away in other communities, and the
countryside was terrified by the ex-
plosions, which we're by far the most
severe ever experienced at Haskell.
/ The Du Pont company says two
men are missing and two seriously
injured. Seven were slightly hurt,
The fire was caused by an accidental
explosion. Loss in glass alone ia
estimated at hundreds of thousands

sumed until the shooting. The ser
want phoned William Moore, the first
husband, saying she feared for the
safety of Mildred, their II year old

child away. Smith gave the wife a
revolver, saying: ''If you don't kill
me at the first shot. I'll kill you with
my hands" When attacked again she

LAWSON MUST FURNISH NAMES
Or Be IN CONTEMPT CONGRESS

If Lawson again refuses to name
the congressman and the trio in
yolved in his story, as 1t Is gen.
orally believed he will, the committee
then will report him either to the
house or the district court on con-
tempt charges.
This plan was agreed upon by the
committee after an acrimonious de-
bate between Democrats and Repub-
licans on the floor of the house had
upset the generally accepted idea
that agitation over rumors of o.
leak" in advance of President VIII
sons peace note was about to sub
side. During the discussion Republi-
cans charged that the Democrats
were shutting off the inquiry because
they were afraid of it, while the
Democrats insisted that their oppo-
nents we're playing partisan politics.
When the house had talked for two
hours and was about to vote on the
committees report, Representative
Cantrill of Kentucky made PROPOSE
ton that changed the whole situa-
tion.
Let the committee be instructed" !"
he said ito bring Thomas w. Law
son before it and submit to him in
writing the question he refused to
answer. If he does not answer, then
let Lawson be cited before the baf
of this house and determine whether
Thomas W. Lawson has more power
Everybody was surprised by the
suggestion, but in moment indorse-
ments began to come from members
on both sides of the house, including
Chairman Henry of the committee.
In the end 1t was agreed that the
committee should have five additional
days in which to report on the Wood
privileged resolution.
Representative Henry charged that
the Republicans. in urging the origi.
nal investigation, were in "an in
famous political conspiracy against
the Democratic administration and
the Democratic party"
He said 1t had been given Repre-
sentative Wood by Representative
Gardner Of Massachusetts, and that
Theodore Roosevelt also had helped
in the efforts to bring about the
inquiry.
''Why?" asked Mr.. Henry. BE
cause the president was seeking t
bring about peace and these gentle
men were trying to tie his hands.
While insisting there was absolutel!
no evidence behind any of th'
charges. Mr. Henry declared he wa
| willing that the committee shouli
summon Mr. Lawson again and sal
, he was In favor OF putting him 4
