EXPLOSION WRECKS
 BIG U. s. DIRICIBLE
HEAT BELIEVED TO BE CAUSE OF LOSlON-SHAKES
 CANT ONM ENT.

Baltimore. = The big navy dirigi- ble C-S, commanded by Lieut.. L. T. Learned, with a crew of six men and two passengers, bound from Cape May, N. J., to Washington, exploded with terrific force just after landing at Camp Holabird, near this city, to adjust rudder trouble. The explosion shook the cantonment and the east ern section of the, city like an earth quake. The great balloon instantly became mass of flames.
 Shooting flames and bits of blazing fragments scattered over the crowd of nearly 200 persons, men, women and children, who had gathered on the camp field to see the monster fiier and many of whom were blown partly across the field. Seventy-ffv persons, mostly women and children, were burned or otherwise injured. None of the officers or crew of the C-8 was hurt, though several sus- tained severe shocks. They were at work on the disabled rudder when the explosion occurred The com mander said the explosion is believed to have been caused by rapid expan- sion due to heat. The bag contained more gas than was required after de- scending from colder altitude temp erature. Lieutenant Learned was in the office of the camp adJutant noti- flying the naval authorities at Wash ington by telephone of his rudGer trouble when the shock of the ex- plosion nearly took him off his feer. The home of MT. and Mrs Samuel Plank, half mile from the scene, looked like a cyclone had struck it.. Mrs. Plank, who was on the second floor, was severely injured

LEGISLATURE WILL
 MEET ON JULY 28
BRoUGH CALLS SESSION TO RAT- iFY SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
 TO FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
TO CONSIDER NOTHING ELSE
Governor Rrough Says Session Limie- ed Unless solons Decide By Two Thirds Majority To ProIona
 the Meeting.
Iitfle Rock

Little Rock
 A special session of the Arkansas legislature will be held July 2S to 1atify the woman suffrage amend mont to the federal constitution. Gov ernor Brongh issued a proclamation calling the solons to meet at that time.
 No other subjects will be consider ed by the legislators, unless they de- eide upon other legislation, and then not until two-thirds of the members vote for the proposition. It is prob able. however, that the session will continue more than one day.
 Governor Trough had been urged fo incorporate several other matters in the cali for a special session, but refused because of the financial con dition. A large majority of the sena- tors and representatives have written to the governor saying they favor special session to ratify the suffrage amendment, but that they believe it would be unwise to include other mat aers in the call.
 Among the matter suggested ID the governor that should be brought 10 the attention of the legislators at the special session are remedial road Legislation, state highway system, repeal of the anti-cigarette law and soil survey.
 The governor said that there IS need for additional legislation, bus that he had promised the tax payers to keep the state on a cash basis, and that if a session longer than one day should be held. the expenses would run the state in debt. The expenses for one-day session of the legisla- lure can be met with the balance left from the last regular session. 1t is said.
