The explosion occurred in the north
section of the yard where several
hundred men are employed in the

these worked in underground tunnels
where fires that boil the crude pc

tanned. Some of the dead were
trapped in these tunels by rivers of
liquid fire let loose upon them by the
blast.
1t is said the three missing men
were caught in these tunnels and no
hope is entertained for them, if such
is the case.
Physicians reported that several
of the injured were probably fatally
burned. Close to a score were so
badly hurt that they had to remain

Ldtm-AmericG Is GiUen
Close Attention by Harding

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE "world
policy Of President Harding, summa-
rized in few words, probably would be,
Increased American prestige in Latin
America and decreased American entan-
clement in the affairs Of Europe"
Those who know the new President best
confidently believes that this expresses
generally the principles by which Amer
ica's course in world affairs will be
charted for the next four years at least
Those who have talked with President
Harding in the week he has been Presi-
dent have been struck with the great
importance which he attaches to matters
affecting South and Central America.
As evidence of the new admtnistra tion's
determination to strengthen our relations
with the republics Of the Western Hem
isphere it was pointed ont that soon after
his election Harding made a trip to the
Mexican border and to Panama to OBJ
serve at first hand the conditions there,
and also, and more important, that the
first two moves in world affairs by the
new chief executive were directed, not at
chaotic Europe, but at Latin American
countries.
The new Administration took prompt
action to stop hostilities between Panama
and Costa Rica and the President sent
a special message to the Senate request

day as the principal guests Of honor at
the Automobile Show thev will be but
tonholed by a more persistent lobby than
ever dogged the steps Of a member Of
the Legislature
It will be a lobby working for the
erection Of a new building, near the
present structure to provide space for
the growth OF the semi-annual motor
exposition. Indianapolis automobile deal
ers easily could fill a building twice the
size Of the Manufacturers building with
exhibits, although the present structure
Is the largest exposition hall in the
State
The Exchange Club will attend the
show in a body tonight.
Officers Of the indianapolis Automobile
Trade Association believe the interest
and attendance at the present show war
rant them in saying that the Manufac-
turers' building ought to be devoted ex-
clusively to passenger cars and that a
building should be erected to house the
truck and accessory exhibits.
Unusual features Of the show continued
to give everybody who attended a lot
of fun as well as instruction in return
for the small price Of admission and the
time spent The kiddie and a great many
of the grown-ups were fascinated by the
miniature Of the 1903 REQ, which rams
under Its own power, and the Marmon
midgets
About 800 members Of the Rotary Club
attended the show In a body last night
and practically took charge Of the ex-

classes OF patients who Will get pre-
scriptions for beer:

who need tonic.
That was the verdict of several Chi
cago doctors today who were interviewed
on the possibility Of getting beer pre-
scriptlon under the new ruling of the
Government, allowing sale OF beer for
medicinal purposes.
The doctors were uncertain about the
Federal ruling. They also were uncertain
as to just what the medicinal qualities
Of beer might be, but they were all busy
looking it up and promised to be ready
with full information in a few days
Hundreds of barrels of real beer are
being made by Chicago brewers daily
and they are "rarin' to go as soon as
they get the word that beer can be sold
for medicinal or any other purposes.
The real beer is made in the process Of
making near beer"
''It would be easier to supply real
beer to customers than near-beer," said
Thomas Kelley, president of the Kelley
Brewing Company.

Riley said that as an Irishman he
could not vote to permit the use Of

which long has been a prolific breeder Of
suspicion and distrust of the United

President Harding has conlded to some
of those with whom he has conferred at

ARGUMENTS ON
FEE GRAB BILL
Wavering on Benedict Meas
ure, Governor Calls in
Local Men.

Representative citizens of Marion
County and a personal representative
of Richard Smith OF the Indianapolis
News were invited by Governor War
rem T. McCray to meet at 2 o'clock
this afternoon for a hearing on the
Benedict Marion County salary bill
Members of the Marion County dele
cation in the House, including John
L. Benedict, author of the bill; James
Kingsbury, Paul L. Haworth and
others, were busy about the state
house all day in an effort to have the
bill signed.
The bill would abolish the fee system
in all the county offices except that Of
Treasurer Lemcke, and place all other
offices on n straight salary basis. While
1t was designed apparently to reduce the
salaries Of all the officers. in reality the
bill increases the salary Of the Marion
County treasurer, while it reduces all
other salaries.
Although the Governor has not declared
that he will veto the measure, he is IN
decided what action he will take until
be has heard from a number Of citizens
@f the county, including Richard Smiths
representative, regarding the effect the
bill would have II operative. He says It
is purely a local matter and will not
affect any other part Of the State, ard
for that reason he desires to give the
local people a chance to be heard.
SEES NO REASON FOR
DISCRIMINATION.
The Governor stated this morning that
he understood the bill viii increase some
Of the salaries and decrease others. If
this is true, he says. he does not favor
the measure, because he sees no reason
why one officers salary should be In
creased and others lowered. He declared
that If the bill is in effect a salary in
crease bill it viii not receive his sane
ton, for he does not consider II a wise
move at this time to add any burdens
on the people Of Marion County or any
other part of the State.
Mr. Benedict claims that corrupt poll
ticians" Of Marion County, who desire
to keep alive the "slush'' fund In the
county, are working night and day IN an
effort to have the bill vetoed by the Gov
ernor. 'Le claims that the same lobby
