RECOVER TWO STOLEN
OKLAHOMA CARS HERE

Through a large amount of sleuth-
ing upon the parts of officers from
Oklahoma and Faulkner county, two
Ford cars, stolen at Bartlettsville,
Okla, on December 10, have been re-
covered for their owners. The cars
were stolen by E. G. Dunn of Sand
Springs; Okla, according to the off
GERS, and driven to Martinville, about
% miles northeast of Conway, where
they were sold to Herbert Martin and
J. A. Fulkerson. Fulkerson later sold
his car to the Smith-Hess Auto Com
pany of this city, who sold it to Isaac
Heiligers. Both Martin and Fulker-
son gave their personal notes in pay
ment for the cars, and with the arrest
of Dunn, the notes were recovered.
The cars were owned by j. L. Dittman
and A. W. CLANCY of Bartlettsville.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
HOME GUARD HERE

Plans are on foot for the organiza-
ton of company of home guards at
Conway and the company will proba-
bly, be completed before the end of the
week. Judge w. H. Duncan and Con-
stable E. L. King are taking the lead
in the organization and they solicit
volunteers who may desire to unite
with the company. Membership will
be restricted to men above the age
for active military service or those
who could not be admitted to the ar
mics of the United States on account
of minor physical defects.
1t is believed the organization of
such company will have a wholesome
effect in keeping down possible inter-
nal disorders. The company is ex-
pected to be active, holding regular
drills and it is thought possible that
it will be supplied with arms and 9th
er equipment by the United States
government.

A cross bond. filed to prevent the

G. M. Easterwood today for the sec-
ond time within a month. A gallon
of alcohol was shipped here from

fused to deliver the goods, and Starr
secured writ of replevin. Sheriff

days and turned it over to the con-
signee. The express company filed
cross-bond, which came up for
hearing today. Starr filed suit to re-
cover ST bond he was required to
put up before delivery was made, and
for IS damages. The court allowed
both claims. The carriers appealed
from the justice courts decision, and
the case will be retired in Circuit
court. Chas. c. Reid of Little Rock

.SHRAPNfL FACTORY
EXPLOSIONS KILL 50

Philadelphia, April 10.-Estimates
of the number killed in three explo-
si0ns which wrecked the shrapnel
factory of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works at Addistone ran as high
as so at noon today. At the same
time it was announced that fully 300
were injured, the majority seriously.
Seven hundred and fifty persons
were employed in the wrecked fac
tory. Many of the dead and injured
are girls.
The wreckage was still burning at
1890 O'Clock this afternoon and it
was impossible to secure definite
reports of the toll of the disaster.
Police headquarters at Addistone
at 1:30 estimated the number of
dead to be at least Is persons, several
of them girls, and probably 200 Sc
riously injured.
Nine buildings with machinery
worth millions of dollars were COM
pletely shattered by terrific shocks
which shook the vicinity as an earth
quake.
The cause of the explosion is a
mystery. Government agents inves-
tigating the disaster this afternoon
admitted that they are proceeding
on the theory that the explosions
were not accidental.

AGAINST FOOD SHORTAGE
by United Press, }

Chicago, April 10.-Unless immedi-
ate steps are taken by the government
for the control of food supplies with a
two-meal day every week, the United
States before the war is over will be
as short of provisions as any Euro
pean nation. This warning was given
out today by ]. Ogden Armour, one of
the biggest foodstutfs dealers in the
world. "There must be an immediate
conservation of foodstuffs,' he declar-
ed. Plans are being considered to in
crease the supply in every possible
manner.

CABINET CONSIDERS
SERIOUS PROBLEMS
by United Press.

Washington, April 10.-The cabi-
net meeting today, the fifth day of
the war with Germany, had under
consideration the Austrian break, the
opposition within congress to the ad-
ministration war measures and plans
for financing the struggle.
Perhaps the most serious of the
questions was that of congressional
opposition to the selective conscrip-
tion idea. Congress, instead of meet
ing the emergency quickly, is hest
tating. The general opinion in the
cabinet meeting was that the revolt
against the administration plans was
crumbling.
