Six Killed

Huge Chicago Warehouse is

OF Two Victims Found

Grain Loss $l,0O0,000

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 20.--Six men are
known to have perished in the Sat.
urday night explosion OF the Armour
Grain company's big northwestern
elevators. The bodies OF two vic
tins have been found and Identified.
Four more are believed to have been
buried under the tons OF debris,
which may take weeks to clear
away.
The known dead are two watch
men, Paul Bala and Henry Ostern,an.
Bala's body was blown from All sup
per section OF the giant structure tar
into the railroad yards TO the south,
where it was picked up, hcadless and
with only tatters OF clothing and one
shoe remaining on it. OsterTan's
body was taken from among mass
of steel and wreckage in what had
been the lower section of the struc-
ture at o'clock this morning.
Alter searching all day in the
ruins, officials OF the grain COM
rany. OH advise of fireman, stated
that it would be impossible to go on
with the search until most of the
wreckagc has been cleared away.
This will require powerful wrecking
and hosting machinery and the use
of acetylene torches, for the dcmol-
ished sections are mass OF bent and
twisted steel. ..I
The four men unaccounted for and
believed to lie in the ruins are Louis
Reich. 80; Arthur Boumanh, 80; NJ.
J. Wiltz. %; and Amill Marzell, 4S.
The grain loss was placed at bor-
dering on $l,000,000 by officials of
the company There were about $4,
100000 worth of grain in the eleva-
tors. Z. A. James. secretary of the
company, said this consisted of s.
100000 bushels of oats, 100000
bushels of corn and about 200, 1000
bushels of wheat.
Two theories We're advanced in
connection with what may have
caused the explosion. These came
from John X. Thompson, who was
superintendent of construction dur
ing the building Of the elevator. One
Of his theories was that the explo-
sion was spontaneous combustion.
The other was that the highly-ex-
plosiye mixture of humid air and
grain dust was ignited by spark,
possibly from a watehman's cigaret.

morning" said Mr.. Thompson, "and
| learned that the plant was shut
down at noon on Saturday. This IS
significant, inasmuch as it estab-
fishes that there was no machinery
running Sparks from machinery
have been known to cause these dust
explosions.
There were two distinct explo-
sions. The first was small one,
evidently in the driers. This mere
ly acted as an igniter OF the main
explosion, which passed like a wave
OF fire through the entire structure"

1t Would Save Millions

Washington, March z0.-Io-ordin-
alton OF the facilities and service o.,
the railroads under strict government
supervision is proposed by the Ma,
tional Association of Owners OF
Railway Securities, as way out OF
the transportation crisis. The plan
will be submitted tomorrow to Chair
man Cummins OF the senate Inter
state Commerce commission. ).
Davies Warheld, president of the as
sociation, announced today that rep
rcsentativcs Of his organization
would appear later before the COM
mittce. =..r.
Mr.. Warheld says that the plan
will save millions OF dollars an
nually, increase facilities and service
and lower fares and rates. He adds
that American transportation has
outgrown its present system and
warns that the railways must recog-
nize that only drastic measures will
save them from being swallowed up
in the decentralization that govern
ment operation and after-war adjust
ment has brought"
"C-nless intensive economical
methods in administration are adopt
Cd" he continues, there is no al
tentative but government operation,
followed by government ownership,
although the country has given cvi-
dence of being opposed to it."
National Service Urged.
The proposed plan is supplemental
to provisions of the transportation
act permitting regional consolidation
of physical properties by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
The proposed coordination would
be brought about through a national
railway service. to be organized by
an act of congress, and which also
would be an agency to purchase
equipment to be furnished the rail-
WAYS without profit.
The Interstate Commerce COM
mission would select five of its men,
bers who would constitute the serv-
ice division. This division would
have supervision and regulator pow
ers to be exercised through the board
of the national railway service.
The board would be composed of
40 members, subdivided into two
divisions, finance and-aduinistrative.
and railway officers. OF 20 members
each.
Four Group Boards.
Subordinate to the board would be
four group railway boards. one in
each of the four rate territories
eastern. southern, western and motm-
tain Pacific. Each board would have
seven members. FIVE to be selected
by the railways and two from the
shippers. ...
The 20 railway officials serving on
these four boards would serve as
the railway officials division OF the
national board.
Cooperating with : the group
boards would be 10 committees. each
selected from the railways OF each
group. These committees would
cover large range of investigation
and report, including the normal
equipment requirements of each rail-
way; additional equipment to be
leased from the national railway
service; Standardization Of equip
