NAVY REPORT PUTS
HALIFAX DEATHSAT
5,0OO;;3 SHIPS SUNK
But Official Dispatch Asserts
Figures Have Not Been
Confirmed.

Five thousand are believed to
have been killed in the explosion
in Halifax harbor and the fire
which swept North Halifax and
Dartmouth, N. S., according to
advices from a naval commander
reaching the Navy Department
early today. The Navy dispatch
said these figures had not been
verified, however.
The report, which came from a
naval commander who witnessed
the explosion from a point fifty
two miles off Halifax and later
proceeded to the harbor to render
aid, said all of North Halifax was
destroyed, three ships sunk and
many others damaged. "The
ruins of buildings are now burn
ing fercely in North Halifax" the
dispatch concluded.
No American Ships in Harbor.
Reports to the Navy Depart
ment indicate there was no Ameri-
can ship in the harbor of Halifax
at the time of the explosion, and
officials are inclined to think that
if American sailors had been
caught in the blast it would have,
been reported in the early dis
patch from a naval commander,
who went in to help after hearing
the detonation fifty-two miles at
sea.
The report as given out by the Navy
Department is as follows:
THE following report was received
from a naval commander at Halifax:
Heard Fifty-Two Miles at Sea.
"While ffty-two miles at sea the
explosion Of munitions ship was seen
was offered to the authorities and the
following learned concerning the cir
cumstances leading up to the explosion
"a Belgian relief ship collided with
French munitions vessel loaded with
5000 tons of T. N. T. and large guam
tity of benzine. Due to the collision
the benzine caught on fire and as soon
as the fire started the crew abandoned
the ship. reaching shore before the ex-
plosion took place.
Practically all of North Halifax
was destroyed and all of the windows
and doors in Halifax and Dartmouth
were demolished.
Three Vessels Sunk.
"It is believed there are 5000 dead.
but these figures cannot be confirmed
The explosion sunk three ships and
badly damaged many others. The
ruins Of the buildings are now burn
ing fiercely in North Halifax"
further report from the American
naval officer said he had landed a
guard to aid the city authorities in
policing the city and cooperate in
every way in relief work.
The State Department has received
no reports from the consul general at
Halifax. and today ordered the consul
at Sidney to proceed there Immediately
The failure of the consul general,
Ethelbert Watts. to report, was be-
lieved due to difficulty of wire COM
munication. The consulate and his
residence are beyond the indicated
zone of devastation.

COORDINATION IDEA
FOR ROADS GROWING
Only Apparent Result of Of
ficiaI Discussion of Railway
Issue So Far.

Although no decision had been
reached as to the best means of uni
flying the railroads, a step declared
necessary for the war by the inter-
state commerce commission. President
Wilson. congressional leaders and
members of the railroad war board were
ready today to continue conferences
looking to solution
The only apparent result of discus
sion of the situation yesterday be-
tween President Wilson and three
members Of the commission, the Presi-
dent and Secretary McAdoo and Sem
ator Newlands and the railway heads
was to strngthen the almost universal
belief that coordination must be ef-
fected speedily. either by government
control or government support.
In talk with Senator Newlands,
chairman of the congressional commit
tee investigating the railroads, the
railroad men are understood to have
declared S1,000.000, 1000 necessary for
new terminals and equipment to meet
next years demands. Another confer
ence between the railway heads and
Senator Newlands will be held before
the senator confers with the President
to submit a definite estimate of the
money needed by the roads.
President Wilson called in Chairman
Hall and Commissioners Clark and
Myers to acquaint himself with the
precise ideas of the commission, and
past has been known to lean strongly
toward some form of stricter govern
ment control. visited the White House.
He would not discuss his visit.

Another conference with the railroad
war board will be held by Senator

terday to submit a definite estimate of
the money needed by all the roads of
the country to equip them with facili-
ties for meeting demands due to the
war. Means of obtaining this money
were not taken up. Annual freight
revenues amount to about $4,000, 900. 900
