New Law Protects Automobile
Owners.

Jefferson City, Mo, June 6.-Gov
Gardner has approved bill to add
to the protection of automobile own
ers from thieves. The law provides
that when the owner of a licensed
automobile sells it he and the pur-
chaser must go before some official
with seal and make the transfer.
and both vendor and vendee must
sign the same and when the transfer
is acknowledged it will become bill
Of sale.
Every owner of an automobile
must procure license from the Sec
rotary of state in his or her name.
The possession of an automobile by
someone other than the original
owner without the transfer men,
toned is made prima-facie evidence
that the vehicle was stolen. There
is no way that a thief can obtain the
necessary transfer, and without this
authority his assertion of ownership
would subject him to arrest.
The law is now in full operation
and the secretary of state will at
once send copies to all the owners Of
automobiles, to the end that they
may be fully informed as to what is
expected of them if they sell or trade
their automobiles.

100 Killed in Mine Accident.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, June 5.-More
than 100 men were believed TO have
been killed today in an explosion in
the Baltimore tunnel of the Della
ware & Hudson Coal Company, near
Wilkes Barre.
Reports from the mine, were that
approximately 90 bodies had been re-
moved from the tunnel.
Mine officials said they believe 80
other bodies were still underground.
Every morgue in the city has been
pressed into service, and thousands
of frantic women and children are
rushing from one undertaking shop
to another in an effort to learn
whether their loved ones are among
the killed.
Today's accident is the worst in
the history of the anthracite coal
region. Prior to this the Avondale,
in which IoS men lost their lives, was
the worst.
The explosion was caused by an
electric wire which fell into carload
Of black powder.
There were I6 cars, carrying about
200 men, entering the tunnel when
the explosion occurred. Most Of the
men died as the result OF inhaling the
flames, but as many were blown to
atoms and others we're drowned in
a trench of water that ran along the
side OF the tracks.

MISSOURI SEEKS BATTLE
FLAGS s
Adjutant General Clark Win Ask for
Colors of Fifteen Units.

Jefferson City, June 5.-Adjutant
General Clark received notice today
from the War Department that all
colors carried by National Guard and
National Army units in France shall
be delivered to the state from which
a majority of the members came
when the organization was mustered
into the service. Under this ruling
he will ask for the colors of the
138th, 13oth and 14oth Infantry Regi-
ments, 128th and, I29th Field Artil-
lery, 10th Engineers, 10th Ammu-
milton Train, 128th, 12oth and l3oth
Machine Gun Battalions of the 35th
Division; 117th Signal Corps Bat
talon of the 42d (Rainbow) Div,s-
ion, the 354th and 356th Infantry
and 342d, Field Artillery OF the Soth
Division, and the 18th Engineers.
A careful count of the number OF
Missourians in a number of other
National Army units is being made
and it is thought that the state will
be entitled to the colors of at least
three more units. These flags are
to be placed in the Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall in the new
capitol building set aside by an act
of the last legislature. Ansappropria
ton of $4,000 was made for casing
the flags, providing cases for war
relics and otherwise fitting up the
east wing of the capitol for the pur-
poses for which the memorial hall
was dedicated.

Senate.

Washington, June 4.-Suffrage, af-
ter the more than half-century fight
OF women to get the ballot, won its
greatest victory today when the Sen

resolution submitting the suffrage
amendment to the various states for
ratification. The women's next bat
tie is with the state legislatures, af-
firmative action from thirty-six being
necessary before the amendment be-
comes effective.
AS the congressional battle ended
at nearly o'clock this afternoon,
with President Pro TEN Cummins
announcing that the resolution had
carried, there was a moment of in
tense quiet in the Senate. Then the
lid popped off all the Senate rules
against applause and demonstrations.
Their was just bit OF handclapping
at first, for the traditions of the
Senate had most of the women
cowed. But the ripple of applause
grew in volume until women and
men were standing in all the gal
leries applauding for all they were
worth.

tomobiles armed with high powered
guns, would raid the prison, using
dynamite if necessary to release the

plan is of recent origin is shown BY
