was ready at all times to run bluff"
of being an officer of the law in case
he was caught in a house. In the bull
pen this morning he carried an air of
sullen bravado and boosted that he
would be back on the street again in
few days" This assertion was made
to Frost.
When confronted with the ring
which he pawned, Smith declared he
bought it from another fellow" He
gave q date in regard to the purchase,
however. that was a Sweek before the
ring was stolen from Miss Keller.
Both Ransom and Frost believe he

TO TRAIN STUDENT
Washburn College Asked for
Military Instructors.
President To Appoint Ten Men
for Training.

DR.. P. P. Womer. president OF
Washburn college, has received a tele-
gram from H. P. Mccain, adjutani
general, Washington, D. c., asking
him to appoint nine students and one
faculty man for attendance at the
training camp at Fort Sheridan, Ill
The school which these men will at
tend provides sixty-day training, and
those receiving it will be authorized
to give instruction in military training
units to be esta bliShed in colleges haV
ing 100 or more male students.
The men will not be commissioned,

ton, at the governments expense.
with a wage of $50 month, and mile
age at 3 II cents to and from camp.
The purpose of the establishment
of military units in the colleges is tc
fit the young men for service and TO
make them into a student army avail

need, tho it is not the purpose of the
government to call them before they

President Womer will announce the
appointments soon. He is now in

|48 ARE NOW DEAD SERVICE CROSSES
Sixty Injured in I. n. T. ExplO-
sion at Syracuse.
Ten or Fifteen of the Injured
Expected To Die.

Syracuse. n. r.. July s.-Forty-
eight dead are at the county morgue;
some are believed still in the ruins;
more than sixty are injured. OF whom
ten or fifteen are so seriously hurt
that their recovery is regarded as
doubtful, and the property loss is
estimated at $4,000 as the result of
the fire and explosion in the T. N. T.
plants at Split Rock last night.
Firemen and scores of workers
were close to the scene when the
blast came. Tie bodies of one group
of fire fighters were hurled high in
the air.
According to one workman taken to
a local hospital, who was employed in
the pulverizing plant, me fire started
in a puiverizer. There the T. n. T.
which is soluble in water, Is washed
in watts. heated to a temperature of
1873 degrees and then poured into watts
close by. kept at the same tempera-
ture for a short time when the crystal
liking process takes place rapidly
The heavy crystals then are fed
thru the puiverizing machine, which
reduces them to a powder much the
same consistency as confectioners' su
gar. Until this process has been COM
pleted, the danger is very slight, the
workman stated, and the men in that
building were not worried about the
fire.
Spark From Gear Box.
The extHme heat of the blaze which
he said wds caused by a spark from
an overheated gear box. must have
reduced the partially completed T. N.
7. to an explosive condition.
Shook Entire City.
The explosion occurred at $50
o'clock and shook the entire city. At
least fifteen buildings of the great
munitions establishments were wiped
out. A fire preceded the explosion by
forty-five minutes or more. When
the fire broke out hundreds of the
workmen left but others remained to
fight the flames and many of these
fell victims of the blast.
A general exodus followed the ex-
plosion. Besides the fleeing workmen,
many families moved away from the
scene. Some pushed wheelbarrows
containing their children and a few
household goods. In the nearer zone
women were in mysteries, fleeing along
the roads.
Six Patrolmen Among Dead.
While last night it was thought the.
number of dead was confined to half
a dozen, daylight brought realization
of the full horror of the disaster. In
the ruins were counted scores of
bodies. Six of the bodies were identi-
fled by their revolvers and keys as
those of patrolmen.
Police from the city were rushed to
Split Rock and automobiles were
pressed into service as ambulances In
a short time the injured began to ar
rive at the hospitals here.
No Evidence of Incendiarism.
While there were rumors of incen-
diarism and also that the fire was
started by German spies. it was stated
today that there are no facts to con-
firm this theory. altho an einvestiga-
ton will be made. -l,~ es~7 .z--z-n-.
Figures furnished today by Semet-
Solvay officials gave the number of
dead - sixty-five. Forty-nine bodies,
they stated, have been recovered.
