Blaze of Mysterious Origin Causes Loss of $150,0OO at Big Warehouse
 Containing Explosives.

Memphis, Tenn. May 31.-Six ssus, poets had been taken into custody at noon today in connection with fire, believed by fire department officials to have caused by the setting off of an inflamable explosive, which early this morning destroyed the warehouse here of John Wade and Sons, whole sale stock feed dealers.
 With its stock of hay and grain and quantity of sulphur, the loss is approximately $150,000. One ne- gro, who was shot and wounded by watchman as he was fleeing from the building, is said to have told the police that he had been hired by two white men, neither of whom he knew, to keep watch outside the warehouse while they entered the building short iy before the fire was discovered. In support of the negro's statement the watchman employed at the warehouse declared he encountered several men leaving the warehouse at the time of the fire, one of whom he knocked down. When he recovered he opened fire. wounding the negro, now under arrest.
 Federal agents and the police are conducting an investigation. Search also is being made for another negro who, the wounded man declared. was with the white men when they ap- preached him.

With the vote recorded thus far, Judge Woods leads Gotham by Fl votes. Attorney Gra- ham announced tonight that he would demand a recount of Montgomery county's vote.
 Sheriff Brad O. Smith was renomi- mated, winning close contest from w. R. Downen, constable, by 99 votes.
 Although John D. Hoskins, a young attorney of this city, won the nomina- tion for prosecuting attorney, there is some contention that he cannot ac- cept the nomination. Hoskins was appointed captain of the Hot Springs company of the Fourth Arkansas Regiment. Before that organization will be mustered into service, how ever, Hoskins admits he will have to respond to the selective draft. By the time the general election is held Hoskins will be in the army. It is said under those conditions he cannot be candidate in the general election Hoskins, however, holds the opposite view.
 Attorneys who have discussed this feature say that the race will be open again in the general election. The at torney general will likely be asked to render an official opinion on the sub feet at the request of the Democratic Central Committee of Garland and Montgomery counties.

sphagnum moss dressings to be sent overseas were made from this moss in the fall of 1916 by tho Junior Red Cross of Buysboro, Nova Scotia:
 To the late Harry James Smith, of New York, is due much credit for the progress of this work. At his own expense, he established sphagnum organization at Aichat, N. s.. eN
 plored various localities on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for moss fields; collected, prepared and do- mated to the Red Cross great auan- titles of this moss. When the Amer ican Red Cross formed a sphagnum department it was placed under his control. Mir. Smith was killed in an automobile accident in British Co., lumbia in March, while searching for moss for the Canadian Red Cross, and thus set the seal to life of ex- ceptional generosity and nobility.
