EXPLOSION ON U.S.S. CAMDENS
MOTOR LAUNCH BURNS SEVERAL
and ONE Man IS REPORTED lost
Accident Took Place on Small
Boat Moored Alongside Sub
marine RS i'm the HarbOr
MEN QUICKLY RESCUED
Parties from Various Destroy
ers Arrived at Scene i'm Few
Minutes After Explosion

One man is reported missing, at least
one man was seriously burned and
several others suffered minor burns
when a motor-sailing launch of the
U. s. S. Camden blew up and burned
in the harbor last night. No official
reports We're available last night but IL
is understood naval court of inquiry
will convene this morning to make an
investigation of the accident:
The explosion. which took place
about o'clock, was audible to the
entire lower section of the city and the
flames lighted up the scene for several
hundred yards. Residents along the
bayshore sent hurrned calls TO The
Journal to inquire the cause of the ex-
plosion. The naval station was noti-
fled from The Journal office.
The motor sailer was alongside the
submarine Re- and had several men
aboard. 1t had been performing duty
during the day but was not the run
ming boat for the night. Immediately
after the explosion, sailors from the
Rs attempted 10 rescue the occupants
of the motor sailer and extinguish the
fire or shove the burning boat clear
of the other craft which were moored
alongside. In doing this, several mem
bers of the rescue party were more or
less seriously burned. Occupants of
the motor sailer either were thrown
into the water by the explosion or
leaped overheard.
Fire and rescue parties were sent to
the scene of the accident from the de-
stroyers and other naval ships in the
harbor. In carrying out rescue work
various members of the salvage parties
were burned and it was unofficially
reported last night that one man was
missing.
About fifteen men We're picked Up
by boat FROM the T.. s. S. Barney
and set on board the tender Bushnell.
Some of these men are reported TO
have been seriously burned. Other res
cue boats picked up several men and
placed them aboard their respective
ships.
Official investigation today may dis
close the whereabouts of the man re-
ported missing last night, ii being pos
sible that he was one of those burned
and set aboard a ship not his own.
Immediately after the explosion
searchlights We're manned on all ships
and their beams aided materially the
work of the rescue parties. For several
hours the scene of the explosion was
illuminated by the playing search
lights.
Within an hour after the explosion
the routine of the ships was normal
except for the Camden and the rescue
parties. Liberty boats were making
their regular trips and men-o' wars
men were coming ashore foHSthe night.

ENJOIN Use OF
TRADE REPORTS
Hardwood Manufacturers Are
Forbidden to Exchange Stock
and Sales Statements

Memphis, Tenn, Mar 16.-Judge
John E. Mccall in federal district court
here today granted the application of
the government for a preliminary in
junction to enjoin f. r. Gadd, statis-
teal manager of the "open competi-
tion" plan a statistical auxiliary of the
American Hardwood Manufacturers
Association and the more than 300
members of the plan, from further ex-
ample and distribution of stock and
sales statements and certain other
trade reports which the government
charged tended to restrain trade, elimi-
nate competition and maintain prices
in the hardwood lumber industry.
The injunction issued today will re-
main in force pending final hearing of
the government complaint against the
"open competition PLAN filed in fed
erar district court here February IA
last by w. ID. Kyser, United States
district attorney at the direction of At
torney General Palmer. The govern
ment in it's bill of complaint, charged
that the distribution of certain of the
trade statements and reports through
the central office of the so-called plan
here constituted conspiracy in re-
straint of trade in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
An alleged slogan of the plan-"Co
operation and not competition is the
life of trade'-was cited in the gov
ernment bin and the allegation made
that recommendations have been dis
tributed among thes members to make
oral arguments at group meetings held
at central points in hardwood lumber
territory. =.
In its answer the defense denied in
detail the governments allegations as
serted that no attempt was made to
maintain prices or that there was any
understanding, oral or otherwise to
bring about that result. The plan was
vigorously defended as wholly within
the law and the contention set up that
the fact that information gained
through reports and other statistical
matter enabled the individual lumber
men to increase or lower prices, did
not constitute a violation of the law.
Judge C. l.. Boyle, former attorney
general of Kansas, appeared chief
counsel for the defense at the hearing
here last week. Judge C. L. Ames,
Assistant Attorney General Palmer and
Henry c. Mitchell, a special assistant
attorney general, presented the case
for the government.

LITTLE ROADS
DUE FOR DROP
Southern Congressman Fear
Larger Railroads Will Cut
Use of Little Lines
MANY DO NOT PA
Railroad Bill Gives Lines Ninety
Days Before Commission
Control Takes Effect
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

Washington, Mar. t6.-Members of
Congress from the Southern states fear
that because of the passage of the
railroad bill the big railroad companies
in that section will discontinue the
operation of a large number of short
lines, now conducted a branches of the
big roads, because they are not making
money.
This step will be taken by the larger
railroads. the Southern Congressman
believe, to offset the authority given
the government in the recently passed
railroad bill to take all railroad earn
ngs over 512 per cent. and turn them
lover to the poorer roads. They may
also take the step at this time, it is
pointed out, because under the railroad
bill the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is barred for 80 days from re-
Straining them.
There are a large number of small
railroads in the South which do not in
dividually make money, now operated
as branches of the big railroads, that
could be entirely shut down now at the
will of the large roads,
Two short lines have already been
shut down in Georgia-the line from
Roswell to Chamblee, and that from
Lawrence to Suwanee. Other shut
downs are expected in Georgia, Flor
ida, North and South Carolina and Vir-
ginia.
1.-The big railroads, I believe, are go
ing to drop all the little fellows that
do make money in an effort to make it
unnecessary to take any considerable
earnings from the large roads and give
them to the short lines" said Con-
gresham Thomas Bell of Georgia to-
day. THE provision in the railroad
bill giving them ninety days before the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
control over them in this respect was
a fine joker for the railroads. 1t
gives them time to drop the short lines
and divest themselves of all interest in
them before the Commission can ex-
tend restraining hand.

short line from Lawrence to S,1wanee

LISBON QUIET
DURING STRIKE
Telegraph and Postal Service
Employees Cut Off From Out
side Communication

Lisbon, March 13.-(Delayed)-Peace
reigns in this city, nor has the quiet
that prevails been disturbed for a
long time. Reports relative to a serious
state of affairs here which have been
last fortnight had their origin in
rumors which could not be contra
dicted because of the strike of postal
and telegraphic service employees,
which cut off communication with
other coutries.
Strikes are common throughout
Portugal and effect large numbers of
workmen, including government en-
ployes, electricians, metal workers and
men employed in the building trades,
but the movement has hitherto been
confined to a silent protest against the
enormous rise in the cost of living.
Workers have found it impossible to
exist on wages they have been rs-
ceiving. Inquiry in quarters thoroughly
informed as to conditions ana repre-
senting diverse view points, has
brought a general response that the
working people of Portugal are not
infected with bolshevist tendencies,
that they do not desire a revolution,
and claim only so much as will permit
them to live reasonably well.
Financial conditions, however, mill
tate against any radical betterment
in the situation at present. The con-
stant decline in exchange rates re-
suits in prices of commodities mount
ing higher every day. Levying of
higher taxes has increased discon-
tent. but the taxes are made necessary
by augmented national expenditures
and have not caused violent outbreaks
Of any kind.
AS the Associated Press correspon-
dent on his way to Lisbon traversed
city he saw peasants working in the
fields with their accustomed serenity
unaffected by any rumors which might
be reaching them. Streets are well
lighted here, theatres and stores are
open, and street cars and taxicabs are
running. Although railroad traffic is
somewhat restricted, trains are run
ming on all lines. Much inconvenience
has been caused by the stoppage of
telephone, telegraph and mail SER
vice and no papers from abroad are
reaching Lisbon. but the citizens gen.
orally are not greatly affected by these
conditions. Reports from Oporto and
other parts of the country indicate
that, apart from numerous strikes,
everything is quiet.
