Washington, July 2.--Plans for
exacting legislation before tho sum-
mer recess AUTHORIZING President Will
son to take over the telephone tele-
graph, cable and radio went forward
in congress today while three mem
bers of the cabinet emphasized their
approval before the interstate and
foreign commerce commission.
Leaders in both houses expressed
the opinion that the legislation could
be passed without delay though some
opposition was to be expected.
Time Limit Problem.
The house committee after hearing
Secretaries Eaker and Daniels an"
Postmaster General Burleson, ar
ranged to meet tomorrow to prepare a
report of the resolution of Represen-
tative Aswell of Louisiana. which has
been endorsed by President Wilson.
THE only fight expected is over the
question of time limit limit was
suggested in the committee today ana
was opposed by all three witnesses.
Secretary Daniels and Postmaster
General Burleson advocated perma-
nent government ownership. Mr..
Raker was not prepared 20 so that
far. but he joined his colleagues in
urging government control during
the war as a military necessity.
Strike Influence Denied.
The heads of the two war making
branches declared their attitude was
not influenced by the srAc
ern Union operators called for July y
and was based entirely upon military
needs
Mr.. Burlesop, long an advocate Of
government operation of communica-
tions, said the threatened strike was
one reason for action at this time.
What promised to be hitch In the
program for expediting the legislation
developed in the house durin" g
but later was cleared up. Representa-
tive Gordon of Ohio moved that the
Aswell resolution be taken from the
commerce committee and referred to
the military committee since 1t was
proposed as a military necessity. The
motion was carried without opposi-
ton but upon hearing statement by
Chairman Sims of the commerce com
mittee reversed itself.
The military committee considered
a resolution by Representative Lunn
Of New York, similar to that %
resentative Aswell, but providing
specifically for the operation of the
communicating systems as far as
possible under the plan applied to the
railroads.

IN EXPLOSION At
SYRACUSE PLANT
Terrific Blast Of It, N. t. FOL-
lowing Outbreak of Fire
Smashes Buildings and
Blows Men High in Air,

Syracuse, N. Y. July AT least
sixteen persons were killed and 200
injured and the huge plant of the
Semet- -Solvay company at Split Rock
near here, virtually were wrecked by
two explosions of trlnnitrotuluel at
$3.50 o'clock tonight.
Terrific conclusions from the ex-
plosions rocked large business build
ings in the center of this city, smash
ed plate glass window and caused d
panic in the residential district The
explosions followed a fire that had
raced beyond control and spread to
the 'T. N T." watts.
Two let go, burying workers un-
der an avalanche of debris and
scattered the flames to adjoining
buildings.
Fires Burn Fiercely.
7 At late hour tonight the flames
were burning fercely and there was
constant danger of more explosions.
Volunteer firemen were powerless.
Aid was sent from Syracuse but at
midnight the water system broke
down.
Five hundred workers were in the
plant when the fire broke out. It's
origin has not been ascertained. The
they ran to safety were caught in the
first explosion.
Men were hurled in all directions.
Two, caught between burning build
ings, were broken through a wall.
Still alive when picked up. there was
not a shred of clothing on their
bodies.
Homes Are Wrecked.
The second explosion followed the
first after fifteen minutes. The ex-
plosions crumpled buildings in the
vicinity. Homes of worlmen across
the road from the plant collapsed.
Burning timbers were blown to the
roofs of buildings across the railroad
tracks which divide the plant.
Families fled across fields in con-
fusion. A woman, hysterical, carried
a tiny kitten clutched to her breast.
James Russo and Arthur C. Coco
fellow were analyzing samples in the
plant when the cry of fire" called
them to building Number /. Good
fellow tells this story:
"Husso grabbed a hose and /
tried to help. Smoke was thick, we
could not see. Little explosions kept
letting go inside the building There
wasn't enough water to be of any
use.
''We knew that big explosion was
coming, and we ran. Just as we
reached the foot of hill the blast
let go. 1t knocked us both flat on our
faces"
A telephone message from Split
Rock brought the first word of the
accident to the city. 1t reached police
headquarters in the form of re-
quest for all ambulances The shock
of the explosion, a few minutes ear
lier, had ticle up all the telephone
lines causing delay before the am
balances were on the way.

BULL ASSOCIATIONS

The greatest factor in improving the
dairy industry in this state is the for
nation of bull associations. This, at
first thought, may seem exaggerated, but
careful study and observation has
brought the truth home to those who
have given the mater careful thought.
AS is generally conceded, the bull is half
the herd and therefore, his selection,
care and management is vitality import
ant. The day is past when we can af-
ford to breed our cows, regardless of
how good or poor to a scrub bull of
unknown and uncertain breeding, Just
IN order to get our cows to come fresh
A good bull does more for the future
dairying than any force we have, and
poor one likewise impairs the future
of the industry. Other advantages of
an association are that it stimulates i'm
provement in other dairy lines, unifies
progressive effort, develops commune
ty spirit and, last but not least, it
makes for greater financial gain-a
necessary factor in the development of
this locality into the best dairy country
in the world.
It is often stated, by those who have
undertaken Improvement by better
breeding that the nrOductiOn Of a herd
has been doubled in four or five years.
This is worth while and is good bust
ness.
The great advantage of an association
over individually owned bulls, especially
for the small breeder, is that by cooper
alton better bull can be kept at much
ess trouble and expense, thereby OBJ
aiming the greatest advancement at the

San Diego, Cal.-Almost since the
United States entered the war soldiers
have been victims of women fortune
hunters. Girls at various camps are
being arrested charged with having an
over quota of soldier husbands, and
In every case the question of insur-

This city has been no exception to
the rule, and with the thousands Of
soldiers and sailors In training at the
camps near by federal officials are
always on the alert, and as result
two girls are under arrest. They gave

pretty. They were caught in the act
of mailing about 20 letters to sailors
and soldiers asking for money for

the phrase: 81 wish you oceans Of
love with kiss on the top of every
wave" The girls also received 10
letters from ardent lovers and each
letter contained money.

Can any doubt that America will win the war? Our

showed the Hun style of fighting. The Germans
have been accustomed making these drives after weeks
of preparation and to make gains by driving their oppo

But the American troops did play the game the
Huns expected them They did retire Instead they
went out to meet the advancing hordes and drove them
back in utter confusion. The Americans instead of
firing actually advanced their lines 700 yards in the face
