The secretary as serted, that with possible exception of wheat, the reports on which were not yet complete, he was positive that record crops on all other cereals, yege- tables, fruits and other foodstuffs woud be abundant and substantiated his contention by submitting exeerps from the different crop reports. He said, so far as he could judge, from the present reports in the possession of his department he felt quite sure that there would also be big wheat production. MT. Houston deplored the

BROOKLYN Feb, 26-Six women workers paid with their lives for the alleged negligence of their employers when the building at 1719 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, collapsed this morn ing.
 The overlooking of the top floor, where tons of beans were being sorted for the United States government by employees of the De Culda merchan- tile company, is said to have caused the collapse. {,
 Five of the women who were at work on the second floor sorting beans were hurled down the center of the building with the force and sudden ness of an avalanche. They were in-

If these men were compell- ed to live in such rat holes and under such degrading conditions, as shown by the evidence produced before the Senate, he thought it was an unspeak- able outrage, which the Senate should put an end to, by passing this bill and providing decent living accommodations for the workers.
 He said if the government would get real valuation for it's money that the conditions, under which the ship yard and all other workers were at

 The report recommends that the Bill pass. Senator Vardman of Miss issippi, said that it was a disgrace the way the real estate men, who made such great pretentions to be patriotic, fTere allowed to swindle the poor. These munition workers should now

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.-Cap- tain Isaac Williams, 92 years old, who marched with United States troops from Vera Cruz to Mexico City in the Mexican war and who later served in the Civil War, was run down and instantly killed here today, by a switch engine on the Reading railroad. Williams had been employed by the city, as watchman for a period of 40 years. Part of this time he has been working at the city pumping plant but for

 The sixth woman, Mrs Josephine Johanns an employee of the Johanns Steamship Provision Company, was at work on the ground floor when the avalanche of iron piping, beans, floor ing and masses of raw and dried beans lentlessly to her death.
 After four fire squads and squad of police had worked for hours, they managed to extricate the bodies of five women.
 The sixth, the body of Mrs Johanns, is resting in grave of a charred hill of beans, gas piping, office furniture and heavy machinery.

it seems to cement the people closer

 were rather outspolpen in their refer

 now openly praising them, for having gone to such extremes in their efforts
 to bring 1.-the IGerman hnd Russian
 People together as brothers and not as beasts. That these same people, were now doing everything in their power to strengthen the government, where before they had only the most bitter criticism to offer. MT. Francis says that no matter how out of sympathy one may be with the Russian Radicals one cannot help but admire their sim pie and implicit trust in their leaders. The State Department has replied to Mir. Francis by advising him that the Government will pay all ex- penses incurred by citizens who may care at this time to leave Russia, but who may not have money enough to do so. The Department also requests that it be informed at once of any ser ious change in the situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26-In answer to the State Departments inquiry as to the danger of the American Ambassa.- dor and his staff and the American citizens in Petrograd, MT. Francis an- swers that in his opinion there is no real danger from the immediate Ger man advance. The American Ambass- ador says that all preparations have been made by himself and staff, for the departure from Petrograd of all Americans, but that so far none of the Americans now in the city seem to think there is any danger from a German invasion of the city. The Bolshevik government, states Francis, has notified him that they had no doubt that they would be quite able to successfully defend the city but as- sured MT.
