DUST EXPLOSIONS
 RESULT IN DEATHS
Two Are Killed and Four Hurt When Grain Elevator Crum-
 bIeS Into Wreck
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 20.-Two persons are known to be dead and four others are missing as a result of the grain dust explosion which rocked South Chicag last night and wrecked one of the world s largest grain elevators. One body was removed from the debris few hours after the blast~and the second was found today.
 Officials of the Armour Grain com. psny, which opefated the elevator, said it might be several days before it could be definitely determined how many met death in the disaster as their records containing list of men employed at the plant had been destroyed by the fire which followed the explosion.
 Besides the two bodies recovered only four men remained unaccounted for to night and it was believed that these may have been buried beneath the thou sands of tons of grain released by the blast. All of the victims were employed at the elevator.
 John c. Mcdonnell, chief of the fire prevention bureau, said that his inves- tigation had convinced him that the ex- plosion was due to spontaneous combus- ton which ignited inflammable mill dust. He discredited reports that 1t might have been due to labor troubles.
 Engineers who inspected the elevator, which is located at the southern city limits, said that the damage to the struc ture would approximate s1,500000. The value of the grain destroyed was esti- mated at $1, ,000000 ss

STATE GUARDS ARE
 IN NEED OF COIN

Washington, March D.-(opecldl.J-t ho adjutant generals of the natn.nat guard organization of the several states have represented to the Senate and House of Representatives that unless in the extra ordinary session appropriations, for the benefit of the militia is increased ma terially, the organization must go out Of existence.
 Adjutant General Moore of South Caro- lima. speaking in person to influential members today, declared that for its up- keep the national guard required Sis,- 0o0,O00 or in round numbers. $lWV'oV' for each state of the Union. The ap- propriation was for only $25.000,0o0
 Officers from other states have made identical representation, and entered tne contention that unless the government proves itself to be less niggardiy. the militia must go out of existence.
 The government, incidentally, does not enthuse over the national guard because of the inability of any one of the states to recruit up to the authorized strength It is argued that there are not tnou- sand men in the guard of Aiaoama' Georgia, Florida. South carotina or V'r- ginia, and that that state of affairs ar gues little interest.
 Adjutant General Moore explains tnis apparent lack of interest by contenoihs that if the money for the equipment ana maintenance of the guard was availaoie' it's numbers would instantly increase
 The war department is singuiariy happy in commenting on the magnificent service of the guard during the World war
