VICTIMS
GROWING


PHILADELPHIA, April IL
day placed the death toll of the
Eddystone munitions disaster as
high as lao, many of the victims
having died horrible deaths dur
ing the night at the various
places used as hospitals.
More than $50 are now placed
in the list of injured, although
an accurate account is next to i'm
possible.
1t is feared that there may be
still other dead in the ruins of the
plant and a minute search will be
made for additional bodies today,
now that the fire has subsidized
sufficiently.
Although many bereaved rela-
tives have identified loved ones
as their own, scores left the
morgue and hospitals in despair.
Most identifications were made by
means of finger rings or other
trinkets.
Arrest Suspects.
charred that it was impossible to
ascertain even their sex.
In the Chester morgue alone
there are los bodies yet to be
claimed.
Two suspects of the plot were
arrested early today at the Penn
sylvania station at Chester by de-
partment of justice officials
Their names were withheld. They
had been under surveillance by
officials.
Federal, state and county off
Gals are cooperating in running
down all clews that have bobbed
up leading to the belief that it
was the diabolical work of an in
cendiary.
Received Warnings.
1t is practically the unanimous
belief of detectives and other of;
ficials that the destruction was
the result of a carefully-laid
plot.
Scores of employees who were
not victims of the tragedy have
told the story that warnings were
passed around last week, saying,
Don't come to work Saturday or
Monday" Most of them laughed
at the idea, but 1t is known that
a good number took the hint even
to an additional day and thus
avoided death.

THE CONTROVERSY AT
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

A Carson dispatch to the Reno Ga
zette gives the following version Of
the controversy at the Industrial
school:
According to reports received at the
governors office today Matthew Kyle.
superintendent of the Industrial
School at Elko, took things into his
own hands at the institution yester-
day and refused absolutely to recog-
nize C. v. Hoag, the disciplinarian, and
raised the salary of Mrs. Downs. one
of the employees.
The board of control of the school
held a meeting Tuesday and Kyle's
resignation was formally presented at
that time. Owing to the absence OF
Gov. Boyle no action was taken by the
board on the matter. Sometime ago
Kyle was ready to present his resigna-
ton but was given leave OF absence
until December by the board.
Lieut.-Gov. Sullivan is contemplate
ing calling a meeting of the board at
once to look into the situation.

NO MORE CANDY
WHEN BILL Is PAID

The customary cigar or box OF can.
dy which some of the patrons OF
stores have received, when they paid
their monthly bills, in the past, will
be missing If the dictates of Food Ad.
ministrator Henry NJ. Hoyt are OBJ
served. This is done. the administra-
tion explains, in an effort to conserve
sugar that is given away in the form
of candy.
A communication from Washington,
asking that the food administration
frown upon the bestowing OF "lagni.
appe." was responsible for the in.
structions which were issued in Reno.
All of the merchants are to be asked
to observe the request. according to
