Correspondence between Senator
Joseph s. Frelinghuysen and Secre-
tary OF War Newton ID. Baker deallvg
with the storage and removal OF
quantities of INT and the placing of
proper U. s. guards at munitions
plants in this section was made pub
lie today by Senator Frelinghuysen,
of the Senate Military Affairs Sub
committee, which investigated the ex-
plosion at Morgan.
Today, also, 1t became known that
the shipments of INT out of the t.
A. Gillespie Loading Company's plant
at Morgan have been held up tenn
porarily, awaiting government orders
to send the explosives to another
point than Fort Wingate. New Mexi-
co, where huge quantities have been
sent recently.
In his letter of November &c to the
secretary the senator makes two
recommendations that guards from
the United States army replace
guards of questionable efficiency and
morale" and that an order be issued
by the secretary for the removal of
large quantities of explosives from
this section to more remote points.
The letter follows:
Some weeks ago a resolution was
passed In the senate directing the
Committee on Military Affairs to
make an investigation of the recent
explosion at the Gillespie Loading
Plant at Morgan, New Jersey. A
Subcommittee, consisting of Senator
Myers, Senator Beckham and myself.
was appointed to make the investiga-
tion and while we have not finished
taking testimony as yet, it has re-
vealed a condition of affairs which
believe to be extremely serious, mas
much as it involves the safety of the
people OF North Jersey and New York
City.
eff / am correctly advised, many of
the shell loading plants of the Ord
nance Department have been located
in New Jersey. At the Gillespie plant
and at other points there are stored
large quantities of TINT. Several ex-
plosions have occurred during the
period of the war which have caused
great loss of life, the destruction of
much valuable property and vast dis
comfort and Inconvenience. and the
people of the state justly demand
that, now the war emergency has
ceased. no fureAsr risks be taken and
proper precautions be prescribed to
protect the lives and property of
100000 inhabitants situated within
the zone of danger.
Therefore, / respectfully urge you
to prescribe at once the following
precautions:
"1st. Place loading plants and
other munitions plants handling
dangerous explosives under mil
ftary guard OF the United States
Army SO that there VIII be no
question OF the efficiency OF the
protection OF these plants, as
there has been by reason of the
contractors I'm charge employing
guards OF questionable efficiency
and morale.
"2nd. Issue an order for the
removal from this congested GEN.
ter OF the large quantities of ex-
plosives now stored at the yarf-

DE VOE CHAIRMAN
FOR FERENCE
Heads Committee to Discuss
Assembly Organization With
RepubIicans-Wight Named

Democratic members of the newly
elected legislature held a conference
at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark
last night and adopted q resolution
and outlined a course of procedure for
the coming session. 1t was decided to
put up a fight for the speakership, the
claim, as set forth in the resolution,
being that by reducing the Republican
majority in the house the people ex-
pressed a desire for a change, and as
the Republicans would have the presi-
dency of the senate, it would tend to
safeguard legislation if the Democrats
organized the house.
A conference committee was ap-
pointed to meet with a similar COM
mittee appointed by Republicans for
the purpose of reaching an agreement
on house organization. Middlesex
county was honored by having one of
the assemblymen from this county.
Fred w. DeVoe, named as chairman
of this committee. Besides DeVoe, the
committee consists of two members
from Hudson county, two from Essex.
and one from Hunterdon, who also
represents the other Democratic
counties, Sussex and Warren, as far as
representation on this committee is
concerned.
Andrew ]. Wight, of this city, was
dppO'hteu q Hlenlpel VI tile coHiHllttee
to confer on legislation, being one of
the representatives of the Democratic
party on this body to serve throughout
the session.
The conference endorsed James Nc
Ateer. of Hudson county, as the DEM
ocratic choice for speaker and every
effort will be made to elect him.
Hugh C. Barrett. of Essex county was
chosen Democratic floor leader for the
session.
Speeches were made by Robert
Hudspeth. of Jersey City. Democratic
national committeeman, Sheriff Elmer
Geran. Senator Henry Ackerman. both
of Monmouth county.
