 About 150 persons, including
 workmen and spectators, were on
 the scaffOld and many of them
 were thrown into the Delaware
 river when the structure went
 down.
 A strong wind was blowing at the
 time and the tide was running very
 high.
 The Hartman and Bristol police.
 assisted by divers, are dragging the
 river for bodies of the victims, the Z
 majority of whom, 1t is believed,
 were workers at the merchant
 plant.
 The police say the tide may carry
 the bodies for some distance down
 the river, and that 1t may be sev-
 era1 days before it Is possible to determine the number of dead.
 At late hour tonight only three bodies had been recovered. Twenty two injured persons were taken to the Hartman hospital.
 An instant after the scaffolding fell the keypiece of the Waukau, at which the workmen had been saving, parted and the big hull slid down the ways, the suction, it is feared. drawing some of the victims down to the bottom of the river.
 Thousands had assembled to see the launching and witnesses of the acci- dent say the scaffolding seemed to turn over, throwing the, people into 25 feet of water.
 Divers from Bhistol and the Harri- man police and firemen are grappling in the swift waters of the Delaware for the victims, but it is feared that the actual death toll may never be known. Some of the victims, practically all of whom were men. managed to grasp the scaffolding and were pulled to safety. A sailor in the crowd of spec tators jumped overheard and pulled two drowning men ashore.
 The bodies recovered tonight were those of shipyard employees who live in Bristol
 General Superintendent w. T. Wilson of the Merchants Shipbuilding corpora tion tonight issued this statement: "The many worknlen were not supposed to be on the wooden patrol walk which collapsed. The walk is used only for the guards on duty and the workmen when they walk from one of the ways to tho other. The walk was overcrowded.
 Four dead and g alive have been talk en out up to this time and the divers and men in boats are continuing tho work of searching for bodies"

DETAILS GIVEN

The main body of the letter recited all the details of the proposed lease and the portion qGotnd still expressed the at titude of the owners of the property ! desire to call attention to an error in the statement made by the Mexican Assist ant Secretary of Fomento, Gen. Amado Aguirre as reported in the Associated Press dispatches dated March g, to the effect that the California-Mexico Lana and Cattle company's titles came through a concession from the former Mexican government. Neither the California Mexi- can Land and Cattle company nor it's graators ever asked for or received any concessions for any portions Of the lands now held by our company from the gov ernment of Mexico.
 "The lands our company owns and con- trols were acquired by direct purchase for cash at the full price asked, from inc Mexican government and no conces- siens of any kind were ever asked for or received in connection with the purchase of our landed property. After our conn pany took an option on the land and before purchase was finally consummated a most exhaustive research of the records of titles, as shown by the public records. was made by trained title searchers and the condition of our title, after this in- vestigation. was shown to be as aboy" stated, to-wit. what we believed to Do the most perfect title in Mexico.
 'The reference by the Mexican official to special concessions made in connec- tion with the sale of these lands, must refer to lands adjoining ours which were secured by an American syndicate headed by J. r. Morgan about the time that our lands were purchased from the Mexi- can government. Their titles were secured through concessions which provides for special colonization efforts on the part Of the purchasing syndicate.
 Pastor Rolx, secretary of the Mexican fomento, visited lower California year ago and representative of our company offered to convey to Mexican colonists at any reasonable price which could be mutually agreed upon. such acreage as might be required for Mexican coloniza- ton and so far as we know a very sat isfactorv understanding exists between ourselves and the Mexican governments department of fomento.

CHANDELIERS STATEMENT

50 far as the alleged pending sale of California-Mexico Land and Cattle com pany's property in lower California to q Japanese syndicate is concerned, the owners of the land are still adhering to the declaration made by them to the Secretary of State in February, 19lf in connection with the proposed lease of a comparatively small section of the company's holdings to Japanese tenants. The following is an extract from letter written by me, as president of the com pany, and concurred in by the stockhold- CTS of that company, dated February 2S. 1917, to the department of state at Wash ington:
 While my company is anxious to se- cure these reliable tenants, amply if naneed, to help develop our property in Mexico, we are first of all American citizens and do not wish to make any move which could in any way prejudice question which always appears to be a subject for agitation between the two countries. We will not, under the cir cumstances, consider making any lease of this kind to the Japanese, where colo nization is probable, until we are first authoratatively informed that such ar engagement will be agreeable to the gov ernment of our own country. We believe that most of the Japanese labor Tor thls enterprise will come from the Pacific coast states and thus relieve to some extent the pressure of this class of peo- pie now in the United States, and will be an advantage rather than a disadvantage.

BEANS FOR FATTENlNG HOGS
Several Experiment Stations Have

Satisfactory Results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
As supplement to cornmeal for
growing and fattening pigs the Wis
consin station found that ground soy
beans proved about 10 per cent su-
perior to wheat middllngs, figuring the
cost of the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared rations of two
parts of cornmeal and one part Of
soy-bean meal with cornmeal and
wheat middlings In equal proportions
and with five parts of cornmeal and
one part of tankage for pork produc-
ton. The soy-bean ration produced
the largest daily gains, and this with
the smallest quantity Of feed con-
sumed for each pound az gain. The
Kansas station has tested the value
Of soy-bean meal in combination with
cornmeal and with kafir meal In com
parlson with the two latter feeds
alone In feeding hogs. The feeds were
mixed In the proportion OF four-fifths
corn or katir and one-fifth soy beans.
Larger gains, varying from 10 to 81
per cent, were made In every case on
the mixed rations than on corn or
kair alone. The Missouri station In
a comparative 4 eding trial OF soy
bean meal with linseed meal and tank
age showed that the three feeds were
equally effective in promoting the
growth of young hogs.
