NEW WOOD ALCOHOL MAY REDUCE COST
 OF RUNNING AUTOS!
Substitute for Gasoline is Described at Chemists
 Meeting

St. Louis. Mo-, April 13-Discov- cry of a new alcohol, made from wood and usable as grain alcohol, and in mixture for a gasoline substitute, was described today at the conven- tion of the American Chemical So- ciety in session here.
 Professor Ralph II. Mckee of Co., lumbia University. New York, ex- plained the new liquid and expressed the belief it would reduce the cost of operating automobiles.
 The alcohol, he explained is obtain ed from the sugar in waste from the manufacture of pulp and, mixed with kerosene and bcnZol, forms substi- ute for gasoline.
 This mixture, he amplified, does not form carbon in the cylinders and af- lords more mileage to gallon than gasoline. Prof. Mckee said it had been used successfully in Norway and Sweden and that he believed it could be manufactured in this country
 About ten million pounds of ~pulp waste accumulates in a day, Profes- sor Mckee asserted, and approximate ly one-fourth of this is the sugar from which the alcohol is derived The alcohol is almost identical with grain alcohol. he said.
 Dr. Charles A. Herty of New York editor of chemical publication, in an address, attacked the plan of the war department to establish school in the South where West Point stu dents would be trained, for a year be- fore being graduated. Under this plan, according to the speaker, stu dents would be transferred to the pro- posed Southern institution after hav- ing had only fourteen months of chemical school but would be expect ed to conduct the government chem- cal research.

WOMEN'S VOTE CAST
 MERELY AS COURTESY
Nearly 7O,0G0 Majority, for Cover nor on the Face of Partially
 Completed Returns--Demo-
 crats' Names Written In

Chicago, April Ex-Governor F. o. LoWden carried his home state to- day in the republican presidential preference primary, with Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood second and Sen ator Hiram Johnson third, his name being written in by the voters.
 Returns from 4,256 precincts out of 5,6a0 in Illinois gave Lowden 2O3,- 559; Wood 136.42S and Johnson ST. OPS. These returns were from go counties out of 102.
 General Wood carried Chicago and Cook county, but Governor Low den's vote outside Chicago gave him a lead which progressed steadily.
 Only the names of Wood and Low den appeared on the ballot. Sena- tor Johnson's strength was in Chi cago where most of his vote appear ed.
 There was not contest in the dem ocratic primary, but the names of more than half a dozen democrats were written in the ballots in scat tering returns. Hoover's name ap- peared in some republica nballots.
 Women cast courtesy vote in many countries and in some places election clerks failed to separate men and women ballots. The women's vote, however, was so comparatively light as not to affect the result and it was divided in much the same ra- tiO as thn p,a1n vote

Says Occupation
 of Rul1r Cities
 Will End Shortly

Berlin, April 13-"Military ac- ton in the Ruhr basin is about to come to an end," said Chancellor Mueller in the course of declara tion before the national assembly to- day. "All troops not indispensa ble will be withdrawn. Negotiations are going on with the allies for a three months extension of the con- vcntion of August. 1919. The occu- patton of the main cities will end shortly.
 Premier Mueller spoke strongly against the action of the French in the Rhine region, saying "Senega- lese are ouartered in Frankfort and are guarding Goethe's house. "Then reviewing the events in the Ruhr re- gicn, he said that in the confusion following the Kapp uprising the Ruhr workers were unable to recog- nize whether they were faced by loy- al or disloyal troops.
 "This atmosphere of distrust," he added, "was exploited by communist wire pullers. and instead of an inn pressive workers movement there gradually came into existence "red" army.
 "In protecting a population of five million from robbery and worse." he declared, i've were not guilty of any hostile act against the signatory powers. We did not disturb the peace of the world, but showed a loftier and more rational loyalty to the treaty.
 "We raise against France the ac- cusation that she has broken the Versailles treaty and discredited the league of nations before it has come into operation"
 Referring to the British premlers disapproval of Frances action, Herr Mueller declared that it would be childish to imagine that the ter imitation of the entente was fore shadowed by it.

BASEBALL SEASON IN MAJORS, SOUTHERN
 WILL. START TO-DAY
Little Rock Meets Memphis at
 Capital City This After

Chicago. April l3.- Major league seven national and American league circuits today, weather permitting in the initial game of what is expected to be one of the best pennant con tests in the history of professional organizations.
 Forecasts indicate fair and colder weather with high winds for ma iority of the baseball parks. but that will hardly check the enthusi- asm of baseball fans judging from reports of advance reservation sales of all the cities Involved.
 According to the schedules of the two leagues there will be opening games in two eastern and two west ern cities of each circuit today and the visiting teams will, in turn, open the season at their own ball parks April p.
 In the National league, Pittsburgh will play at St. Louis, Chicago, at Cincinnati, Philadelphia at Brook lyn, and Boston at New York. The American league program calls for New York at Philadelphia, Washing ton at Boston, St. Louis at Cleveland and Detroit at Chicago.
 In every case special arrangements have been made to celebrate the be- ginning of another baseball season in which parades of players, flag raising, band concerts and the throwing out of the first ball by prominent state or city officials will form a prominent part.
 Southern Also Starts.
 Analysis of the strength of various teams on the eve of the pennant races appears to indicate that there will be such changes in the stand ing of the clubs at the close of the first month of the races as compar- ed with that of a year ago. While it will be fully month before any accurate line can be obtained upon the real strength of the teams, it would appear from the form display ed in spring practice that they can be grouped generally at this time as follows:
 National league: The Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia clubs ap- pear to be stronger than last sea son, while New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis are about equal in playing strength to the form shown early in 1919. Boston and Cincinnati are not judged to be as strong as was the case last spring, according to close followers of baseball.
 American league: Philadelphia, Washington, New York and Cleveland are all expected to play more i'm pressive game this season than was shown respectively last year St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit are class ed as equal to their power of 12 months ago, while Boston falls below the form of 1919.
 The Southern league also will lift the lid with games at Chattanooga, Birmingham, Mobile and Little Rock. Memphis will oppose Little Rock at Knvanaugh Field, the game to begin n'n

The buildings destroyed are store rooms. paint shops and repair houses and are located about 1eO yards east of the roundhouse. A large quantity of oil stored between these build- ings and the dispatcher's office was being threatened at this hour.
 The Cotton Belts fire fighting force, using it's own equipment aug mented by city equipment and aided by city firemen were fighting the flames at ? o'clock. Chief Breiner and Chief of Police, King, were di- recting operations. Officials of the shops arrived shortly after the flames broke out but were unable to learn the cause. It was impossible at that hour to ascertain in what manner the fire started.
