7 g Hours

| Boston, Dec 23.- Traffic was para
lyzed for two hours and thousands of
commuters and Christmas shoppers
were trapped in underground trains
this morning when main power cable
in the Cambridge subway grounded and
exploded, cutting off the current.
Confusion broke loose in the vicini
ty Of the explosion between Chauncey
street and the South station, when vol
umes Of thick smoke poured through
the tube and penetrated to adjoining
subway systems. In one train which
was approaching the scene Of the blow
out, near panic was ayerted By the
resourcefulness of the motorman, who
permitted his train TO coast down
through the pail Of smoke bringing
the gasping passengers out into clearer
air beyond.
In addition to the thousand on
stranded trains from Cambridge TO
East Boston, other thousands waited
i'll the subway platforms or above
ground trying to crowd into the tube
stations out, Of the cold.
The Cambridge subway runs from
Harvard square, Cambridge, through
the business section of Boston to the
south district beyond. Its western ter
minal is feeder from Belmont, Cam
bridge, Arlington. Watertown. Brigh
ton and adjacent suburbs At the east
ern end Dorchester, Neponsct, .Roxbury,
Milton and South Boston are served
Its connection on another level with
the Washington street tunnel at Sum
mer, Winter and Washington streets,
in the business section, 100 yards
from the scene Of the explosion, is the
center Of the city's subway system.
The East Boston tunnel terminal at
Scollay square is half mile north.
The smoke was swept through most
OF these underground systems and the
effects of the accident were felt to
some extent in all.
Subway officials said there were no
and that the damage wax
slight.

bers Agreeing Not to Make Speeches
in the Meantime.

!. London, Dec. 23 (By the Associated
1press) THE Dali Eireann's adjourn
ment of further debate ON the Irish
peace treaty until Jan. 3, although
coming as surprise here, was con-
sidered as favorable for ratification.
BY agreement between the contending
factions, the Dali members win deliver
no speeches touching on the treaty
during the period of adjournment, nor
participate in public meetings at which
the treaty is discussed, but it is be-
lieved the Irish people viii get togeth-
er and agitate for ratification.
Agricultural and business associa-
tions and civic bodies in Ireland are
planning meetings TO pass resolutions
favoring the treaty and, although il is
recognized that there will be some dec
larations against acceptance, it is be-
lieved the majority will support the
stand Of Arthur Griffith, Michael Col
lins and other treaty advocates. The
adjournment period viii thus, it Is
said. be equivalent TO popular ref
yerendnm.
The English newspaper correspond
ents in Dublin emphasized the impor-
tance of the speech of Richard Null
cahy, chief of staff of the Irish repub-
lican army, in the Dali yesterday, in
which he advocated acceptance Of the
treaty. They thought that his support,
with that Of such fighting men as Mi
ehael Collins and J. j. McKeown, as
sured the adhesion of the republican
army throughout the country.
Some of the correspondents also
dwelt upon what they consider Ea-

indicated by the vote for Adjournment.

ment that when he assumed the repub-
lican presidency, he did not regard his
