ATTEMPT TO DESTROY
 PLANT IN STANFORD

Stamford, Conn, July An attempt was made during last night to destroy by fire the extensive plant of the II. & H. foundry, makers of piano metal plates for concerns all over the country. Fuses. gasoline and gunpowder were used in preparing for the spread of the flames, but the only sections burned were the buildings used in part as a stock room, the sanding room and the japanning and vanishing rooms. The fire loss was about S25,000, partly covered by insur- ance.
 The inquiry into the cause of the blaze showed that in the machine shop fuse had been laid under a window and into the shop, where five gallon can of gaso- line stood. An employe going into the shop saw the fuse sputtering and put out the spark. The firemen later found that in the flask room a number of fiasks had been saturated with gasoline and a 20- foot fuse stretched in the sand. At the flask end was a two-pound package of gunpowder. The fire did not reach into this room.
 The fire was discovered by an outsider who gave the alarm, the watchman be ing unaware of conditions. The fire de partment worked five hours to put ou the fire. Its nature was such that tn, police and fremen went over the plant which covers considerable area, to maK. certain that no more fuses had been laid Benjamin Harris, president Q .he com pany, said there had been sligh- friction
 with employees over a prospective wag, and time schedule reduction owing t slack business, but he said he was no
 willing to believe that any employe woul' | have planned to destroy the plant, whicl | has been doing a large business.

HARDING SPONSOR AT
 RowBoAr LAUNCHING

Raritan, \. J., July 4.--Acting as sponsor here today of a rowbcat made by year old boy, President A1rdins de- livered Fourth of July oration of a single sentence in tribute to the in- genuity and aspirations of American boy hood.
 The diminutive craft which inspired the presidents toast was the "Raritan," nine feet over all. conceived and built by Joseph $. Frelinghuysen, Jr., son of the senior senator from New Jersey, at whose home MT. and Mrs. Harding are guests The bank of an artificial lake. forming a hazard across a golf course of the Raritan Valley Country club, was the scene of the launching and will be the home port of the 'Raritan" as she sails a tramp course in search of misdirected golf balls.
 Had she been the largest ocean liner, the vessel could scarcely have taken the water with a greater show of cerem6ny. Specially constructed ways whose upper end restee on a soap box guided her down the bank. The American flag was in place above her stern and as she was | loosed to begin her adventurous career the president of the United States broke | a beribboned bottle of mineral water across her bows and said:
 AS a tribute 10 American boyhood who build castles in the air, who build boats, and whose achievements in the | future will build this country. christer this boat. the handiwork of Joe Freling. huysen, the 'Raritan'."
 Entering thoroughly into the spirit which prompted Joe and his young friends to plan the ceremony, Mir. Hard ' ing spoke his tribute solemnly and ap plauded as the boat splashed into thu water with her builder and master sittinl proudly amdships.
 i Then the president, attired almost hlll boy himself, in white golf costume turned to the group of boys that ha' gathered on the bank and swapped opin
 ions with them about the fire points 0 the "Raritan."
 Manifestly, the president enjoyed tn
 launching more than any other event ol his Fourth of July program, though pre-
 viously he had been presented with a sil
 yer cup by the country club and late
 was the central figure at a luncheon an
 public reception at the Frelinghuyse
 house. More than a hundred promine nen New Jerseyites were guests at tn
 luncheon, and during the reception th
 people of Raritan and nearby town
 trooped in to pay their respects in nun bers that recalled the front porch" day at Marion
