 ARKANSAS IS BLOWN UP
Negro Who Says He Heard Two White Men Plotting Is Held at
 Marked Tree.

Memphis, Tenn.-The new steel and concrete bridge over the St. Francis River near Marked Tree, Ark, was dynamited shortly after midnight. ac- eording to information received by the Frisco system railroad officials here.
 According to the report, a negro is held for investigation in connection with the dynamiting by the authorities at Marked Tree. His story to the officers was to the effect that he over heard two white men talking about blowing up the bridge.
 They said they had an automobile in waiting near the bridge in which to make their escape The negro says he followed the two men, and before reaching the bridge heard the ex- plosion. He saw the two men driving toward Lepanto a few moments later. Efforts to intercept the men at Lepanto have failed, Marked Tree officers re- porting that the wires have been cut between the two towns.

1 KILLED, 60 HURT
 IN THEATER FIRE
STUDENTS OF YALE UNIVERSITY AMONG THOSE WHO ARE
 CAUGHT IN PANIC.
DOCTORS RUSHED TO SCENE
New Haven, Conn, Playhouse Crowded When the Flames Break Out More Bodies Believed to
 Be in the Ruins.

New Haven, C0nn.-Fire, believed to have been caused by the burning in- cense on the stage, destroyed the Rial to Theater, q moying-picture house, opposite the Hotel Taft, in College street, and on the edge of the old Yale University campus, here. Four per sons are known to have been killed and at least 50 injured, many of them seriously.
 The suddenness with which the fire started and spread at first led to the belief that 50 or 100 had been killed. In the first search of the ruins by firemen, which was made as soon as they could enter, only two bodies were found, and Timothy Hanlon, who had been at the theater, died of heart dis ease immediately after being received at St. Raphael's Hospital, and an- other person died of injuries after es- caping from the burning building.
 Fire Marshal Perkins was of the opinion that other bodies might be found in the ruins and it was believed by other officials that the addition to the death list might be considerable. Search with lanterns by the firemen and police, however, failed to disclose any further victims.
 For nearly two hours flames from the burning theater rose higher than the nine-story Hotel Taft, Illuminating the entire city and bringing Yale Uni versity students by the hundreds and townspeople by the thousands to try to help in the work of rescue and to watch the spectacle.
 Practically every physician in the city was called upon and the injured were sent to the three leading hospi- tals. Nearly 50 of the injured were taken to the General Hospital and F or 15 each to Grace Hospital and St. Raphael's. The General Hospital alone sent 25 physicians and 50 nurses.
 Many persons who fought their way out of the theater with slight burns or bruises made their way home without hospital attendance. A number of Yale students were on the injured AA9e3 CuL tAlC 1LtlJOAll9 O1 luOSG= ltiJuI6u and, so far as known, all of those killed, were townspeople.
 A panic beagn with what was ap- parently the flame of burning scenery and the cry of Fire" and it was re- markable that the dead and injured list was not greater.
 As it was, few who were in the thea ter could have escaped without bruises, as those trying to escape the flames which shot over the seats in the Orches- tra became damned in the exists and many were trampled under foot.
 Two of the patients at St. RaphaePs Hospital bore evidences of severe struggle. James Tierney had his skull fractured. Bernard Rorgab had a frac- tuned leg.
 Others at the hospitals had injuries which came from trampling and not burns, and many had their clothing nearly torn off in the crush.

BRITISH VIEW OF "oPEN DOOR" GESTURES CHINESE
 DELEGATES.
THEY ARE GREATLY PUZZLED
If Secret Diplomacy "Franaes" China Again 1t Would Mean Another Versailles Treaty, Says One
 of Representatives.

Washington.-The Far r-Eastern nego- tiations, complicated by disagreement over the meaning of the four general principles already adopted, will. again become the live issue of the armament conference when it resumed work after Thanksgiving holiday.
 How acute the divergence of view over application of the four principles might become was problematical, but the Chinese, in particular. seemed to regard it as fundamental obstacle to complete agreement regarding the status of China,
 The Chinese delegation is so serious ly disturbed that they declare they would not dare go home should such an interpretation become the approved policy of the Washington conference.
 There is no indication that they con- template such an outcome. but as they await a more complete development of all facts in the case, they are mani festly greatly puzzled.
 One official of the delegation said that China was ready to refuse to sit in the conference any longer if the British view in question really turned out to be the attitude of the powers. But he accompanied the declaration with an expression of confidence that the British suggestion for consortium and the pooling of operation of the rail- way concessions did not represent the policy of the United States nor that of other delegations generally toward China.
 One Chinese official said his deiega. tion would officially have to ignore the publication of the British view. as if was not put forward within the confer ence room.
 But" he said. Eff the British pro. pasal was made public as a move on the diplomatic chess board and other maneuvers were being made outside the conference, then not only would the purpose of the United States in calling the conference be set at naught but the proprieties violated as we'll"
 It would mean, he declared. that China would not he getting even as fair an opportunity as at Paris, and that the Chinese delegation might just as well withdraw.
 The news reaching China concerning the query in the American press ''What is China ?" he continued. was al- ready stirring the Chinese at home

EDDIE ADAMS, GUNMAN
 AND BANDIT, IS SLAIN

Wichita, Kan.-Eddie Adams, re- garded by authorities as the Soutfl- vests most desperate gunman and bandit since Henry Starr, Oklahoma outlaw was killed in Arkansas a year ago, was shot and killed in pistol fight with three detectives here. Two detectives were wounded, one possibly fatally.
 The fight followed search of an hour for two men, who, the police were in- formed, were connected with shoot ing affrays here and near Winfield, Kan, in which Robert Fitzpatrick, motorcycle patrolman. was shot and killed instantly, and George Oldham, Cowley county farmer, was shot and probably fatally wounded, and Ray Casner, another Wichita motorcycle patrolman, was wounded in the hip.
 Adams is reported to have been signing for rented motorcycle when Charles Hoffman, Ed Bowman and D. c. Stuckey, the detectives hunting him, ent red the garage. Hoffman, after informing Adams he was wanted. rusaed at him and attempted to cap ture him alive. Adams, while locked in Ioffman's arms, released his gun and shot Hoffman in the abdomen. He then fired two shots at Bowman, both striking him in the left side. Bowman then fired point blank at Adams, the bullet entering his head above the right eye. Almost at the same moment Stue6ey fred at Adams, killing him outl gflt.
