FATAL BLASTS
Two Are Killed by Explosions
Which Wreck House of
Fancy Stock Raiser :.
(By Associated Press)

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Jan. 6.--Two
persons are dead and two others are
injured, one probably fatally, as a re-
suit of a mysterious explosion which
destroyed the home of J. w. Shelter
nationally known fancy stock raiser
at Auburn, Indiana, 20 miles north OF
Fort Wayne, at 6 o'clock this. evening
The dead:
Ebber Shelter, "a, and Ellen Shelter,
II, son and daughter of Mr.. Shelter.
Mrs. Shelter is believed to be in a
dying condition, suffering from in
ternal injuries. The extent of Mr.
Shelters injuries have not yet been
determined.
The explosion occurred while the
family was grouped about the table
after supper. The blast shattered win
dows for several blocks and was heard
several miles away.
Mr.. Shelter, on being questioned by
authorities declared he had no known
enemies and secuted the idea that a
bomb had been planted under the
house. An investigation of the ex-
plosion by the local gas company is
said to have shown that their mains
were intact and could not have caused
the blast. Local authorities are at a
loss to account for the cause OF the
explosion.

hour run on a Lexington bank, to-
gether with the starting of a grand
jury investigation of rumors that
caused the run and news that Gov.
Edwin p. Morrow had under consid-
Grafton a series of conferences to bring
about the settlement of the tobacco
situation were the chief developments
in the central Kentucky tobacco dis
trict today.
County mass meetings of growers,
who forced closing of most tobacco
markets in the state early this week
when they refused to accept prices Of
fered by buyers, this afternoon select
ed delegates to a general mass meet
ing to be held here tomorrow morning.
The meeting is to decide whether or
not tobacco shall be planted in 1921
marketing the 1920 crop at satisfac-
tory price
The Bank of Commerce of Lexing-
ton was the object of the run today,
which for several hours threatened to
gain dangerous proportions. Rumors
that the bank had loaned so much
money on tobacco that it could not
pay depositors were alleged to have
been responsible.
The rumors reached the ears of the
bank officials last night, it was said,
and Cashier Stilse asked that a clear
ing house committee examine the
books. This committee issued a state
ment today that the bank was thor
oughly solvent. Mr.. Stilse supple
mented this with a statement that all
of the banks paper was fully stcured.
Those statements, together with
heavy deposits by business men and
transfers of large sums of cash from
other institutions to the threatened
bank apparently had the effect of qui-
citing the nerves of the frightened de-
positors before closing time when
Withdrawals slackened considerably
One bank ordered its correspondent
in Cincinnati to forward 100000 in
cash to the Bank of Commerce at
once, it was stated.
The Bank of Commerce, in its fin-
ancial statement of Dec. 81, 1920,
showed resources Of s3,397 ,450.97 and
deposits of $2,496,695.16 Notes and
bills discounted totalled $2,s51, ,4S6.49.
Investigation of the run by the grand
jury was ordered late today.

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION READY
TO MAKE LOANS TO EXPORTERS in

Will Carry Out Provisions of Act
in Spirit in Which it Was
Revived. :.
METHOD is EXPLAINED
Producers Cannot Borrow and
Exporters Must Show Good
Security for Loan. ..-.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON Jan. 6.-The war
finance corporation is open for business.
Secretary Houston said today, adding
that the corporation would carry out the
law creating II in the spirit in which
the statute was drawn as a result of
"he action of congress in overriding the
presidents veto of the resolution to re-
viye the corporations activities. The
treasury secretary said the means to
advances to exporters would not be
determined until it was known what
needs the corporation would be called
ucpn to meet. Funds for making the
loans must beborrowed by the corpora
tion or the treasury, he said, but until
IL is known how much money will be
required IL would be poor policy to pay
interest on the loan fund. The corpora
tiGn therefore will wait until applica-
tious for advances under the terms of
the law are made, he said.
Secretary Houston said the fact that
tho corporation cannot make advances di-
rectly to producers but must extend its
loans to exporters or institutions financ-
ing exports should be not lost sight OF.
Applicants are required by law. he
explained. to satisfy the corporation that
they cannot obtain the desired loan
elsewhere on reasonable terms, must pro-
dLce adquate security and the export
proposition must meet with the approval
of tlfe~ corporation. From this, II would
appear, he said that an exporter must
have his contract before a loan from the
corporation can be obtained
Addition of another member to the
corporation's board of directors may be
made, the secretary said. before appli-
cations can have the fullest attention.

political and economic independence to
the fetters of an international treaty
materially limiting naval ornaments.
