PRE- siDENT WILSON WILL LAY

What the Chief Executive viii Ask 10

Washington.-Pres Wilson will
60 to congress for special legislation
to bring about unification of the rail
roads during the war.
The fact that the president has de-
cided definitely on such move be-
came known after he had gone over
thu whole transportation situation
with Senator Newlands, chairman of
the senate interstate commerce com.
mittee. He probably will ask for the
legislation in an address to be deliv
cred before the Christmas holidays.
Indications were that the president
has confided to none of his associates
his full intentions, and officials were
doubtful. as to just what he may ask
Some were of the opinion that he
might request action in line with the
suggestion of the interstate commerce
commission hat antitrust and anti
pooling laws might be suspended Hur
ing the war.
Others pointed out that the com
merce commissions report also car
ried the suggestion that additional leg
islation might be needed we're the gov
ernment to decide to take over oper
alton of the roads.
The presidents advisers are divided
In their views as to what is necessary
to be done. Most of them. however
have come out for government opera
tion, and some OF the strongest sup
porters of this proposal declare the
executive already, under the army ap
preparation act. has power to take ovel
the roads for operation under an ad
ministrator.

be interned if they fail to convince Of

REPORT H|FTY-FlvE FIRES
INTERESTING STATEMENT As TO
THE NUMBER OF GIN FIRES
AND LOSSES.
7. N. Henry, Mississippi Insurance
Commissioner, Urges Thwarting Of
Foes of tho Figures
Disclose Alarming Condition.

Jackson.-T. NJ. Henry, state insur
ance commissioner, gives out an inter
esting statement as to the number of
gin fires and amount of losses in Mis-
sissippi during the las three months.
"To the People OF Mississippi beg
to call your attention to the following
statement showing the alarming mum.
Der of fires which have occurred In
and around gins, congresses and oil
mills in Mississippi from Sept. 7, 1917:
"Fifty-fiye fires, probable loss $46,'
S3673; reported from Nov. 1 to Nov.
2S, all reports not in, 39 fires, proba.
BILE loss, $55,66607; total, "a fires,
probable loss, $102,502.SO.
"These figures disclose an alarming
condition of affairs which exists in
our state and is one that should re-
ceive the attention of our citizens, es-
pecially those interested in the hand
ling of cotton and its products. From
information in the hands of United
! States government agents 1t appears
that there is an organized effort on
the part of the enemies of our govern
ment to destroy as much of this years
| crop as possible.
Cotton and the products derived
! therefrom are vitally essential to the
government in the successful prosecu-
tion Of this war, and 1t is the patriotic
duty of every citizen, and especially
| those who handle these products, to
use every effort looking to the proper
safeguarding of this commodity from
the time 1t leaves the field until II
reaches the mills. Owners of gins,
congresses, cotton mills, cotton yards
and cotton oil mills are earnestly
urged to observe all fire prevention
rules, to see that all premises are
properly guarded and to allow nc
strangers to loiter around any plants
Whenever you have any attempts al
arson, or II you have a suspicious fire
around your property, report the same
at once to this department and prop
er investigation will be made"

Halifax.-Fcur thousand persons
were killed in the burning and de-
struction of buildings resulting from
the explosion of a munitions ship in
the harbor, according to estimates by
officials This estimate, higher than
any heretofore, was made after sur
vey OF the devastated district Of Rich
mond, where acres of debris probably
will not be cleared for a month.
The business life of the city had
just begun for the day when the towns
was shaken to its foundations by the
explosion. Persons in the streets were
picked up bodily and hurled to the
ground. Occupants Of office buildings
covered under a shower of falling
glass and plaster
The collision. which resulted in prob-
ably the worst disaster In the history
of the Dominion, occurred near pier 8,
in the narrows, leading from the har-
Dor to Bedford Basin. The munitions
ship was bound from New York for
Bedford Basin, when the relief ship
limo, bound for the sea, crashed into
her.
The Mont Blanc was pierced on the
port side almost to the engine room.
The other ship. which was only slight
ly damaged. backed away when flames
burst out on the munitions ship
and was abandoned by the crew. The
captain of the Mont Blanc also ordered
his crew to the boats, as he realized
an explosion was inevitable. The men
reached shore safely before the tire.

blew their ship to pieces.
Canadian officers who have seen
long service in France characterize
the catastrophe as ''the most fearful
which has befallen any city in the
world"

brought under control

Halifax. N. S--Stricken Halifax was
swept by raging blizzard following
the explosion, on the disabled muni-
tions ship.
A binding north country" snow
storm, accompanying a gale that at
times attained velocity of more than
40 miles an hour, held this city of des-
olation in its grasp.
So fierce was the storm that rescue
workers were forced to suspend their
operations in the devastated section.
II is believed certain that all the in
jured buried under the ruins of shat.
tered buildings have perished of cold
and hunger.
Battered by biting wind and blind
ing snow, the plight of the survivors
Of theholacaust was little short of des-
perate The windows and doors Of vir-
tually every house in the city were
shattered by the explosion which
wrecked the Richmond section and
devastated large part of the water
front. Improvised barricades of boards
gave little protection against the ele-
ments and attempts to heat buildings
into which the snow steadily drifted
were hopeless.
The sufferings Of those who escaped
injury have been increased by the fact
that every available blanket. quilt and
comfort had been requisitioned for the
hundreds Of injured in the temporary
hospitals. Many of these were so
gravely wounded their only hope lies
in the best Of care.
No concerted effort has been made
as yet to compile a list of the dead, as
every effort is being made to identify
those who perished. The condition OF
many Of the bodies makes this exceed
ingly difficult and large proportion
of those who lost their lives will be
buried as "nameless dead" There is
no reason. however. to change the es
innate of 1000 dead and 5000 injured

REGIMENT ARE DESTROYED
AT GREENviLLE, s. C.
TENTED CITY THREATENED
The Fire Thought To Have Originated
From Defective Wiring, is Ex-
tlnguished, Despite Gale and
Freezing Weather.

Greenville, 8. C.-Six of the large
ment at Camp Sewer were destroyed
by fire that originated, 1t is thought
from defective wiring. Swept by a
strong wind, the flames spread rapid
ly, but by valiant work the soldiers
managed to save the utensils and pro-
visions in all the buildings except In
the mess hall where the fire started,
and gained such headway that 1t was
impossible to save the contents. Only
the heroic struggle of the officers and
men of the North Carolina regiment
prevented the conflagration from wip-
ing out the regimental infirmary and
sweeping on to the tents. They brav-
ed the flames with unflinching nerve
and escaped without injury.
Work of reconstruct.ng these build.
ings will be begun at once.
Soldiers at Camp Sewer experienced
for the first time the kind of weather
that they will likely encounter in
Northern France, II sent here. Freez.
ing temperatures, accompanying a
gale that at times attained velocity
of 40 miles an hour. has held the
khaki camp in its grasp, adding ter

the men have been equipped with
heavy woolen clothing, and they are
