Rr Assnn.n-rr rress

Columbus, Ohio, December 21.-Two women were dead and 34 persons more or less seriously injured were in hos pitaIs here tonight, the result of an explosion of natural gas which partially wrecked Wright's women's furnishing store in the downtown section late today.
 Several of the injured, crushed by falling walls and floors of the three-story struc. ture, were said by physicians to be probably fatally in- jured.
 The dead: Mrs. Barbars Carl of Columbus and an un. identified woman.
 Mrs. CarPs husband, Alton Carl, is in Newark, N. ].
 The explosion, which oc- cured shortly before 5 p. m., while the store was crowded with Christmas shoppers, was said by firemen to have been caused by a leak in a gas main under the sidewalk, which al- lowed the fumes to enter the basement of the store, where they were ignited by a fur mace.
 The force of the blast broke windows a block distant and tore up a portion of the street and sidewalk, demolishing several automobiles parked nearby.

POMERENE PLEASED WITH CONDITIONS
 EXISTING IN HAITI
Investigating Committee Has Returned from Island. Hearings to Be Con-
 tinued Here
By Associated press

Washington, December 21.-Sat- isfaction with conditions now pre- vailing in Haiti and the Dominican Republic was expressed today by Senator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio, a member of the special Senate com- mittee which visited the republics to investigate conditions and which has now returned after spending two weeks there. He would not comment, however, on recommenda- tions which the committee will en- body in it's report. Further hear ings are to be held here when it is expected natives of the two coun- tries will testify. The committee will also confer with Secretary Hughes in a few days, but the sen ator did not indicate what subjects would be discussed.
 The committee was received hos pitably by the natives generally, Senator Pomerene said, although the presence of agitators was shown in processions were incendiary ban ners were carried, Most of the op- position, he added. appeared to he based on the misapprehensfon that American occupation was for the purpose of destroying the independ- enee of the two republics.
 Senator Pomerene inspected much of the island by airplane and de- scribed as "marvelous'' the work which has been done under American direction in road building. Introduc- ton of modern machinery and meth ods in general, he predicted, will mean a wonderful development for the country, which is rich in natur- al resources but in many ways yet primitive.

 Secretary Weeks, Secretary Denby and Senator Ricci. the Italian ambas- sador, who participated in the cere- monies, waited for three hours in the chilling winds which blew from the northwest for the ship to arrive. They were to have taken a flight in her ofl an hour or two over the city and to Baltimore with other invited guests. but the wind was rising steadily. with gale proportions threatening, and Major General Patrick chief of the army air service, ordered the Roma back to her hangar at Langley field as soon as she could be refuelled.
 The great Dolphin-like craft of the air arrived at Boiling field at noon and left at 2:S0, scurrying home with the wind behind he in two hours and 40 minutes.

 Gradually her bulk toomed up. and she swung toward the west, heading directly for the field. Approaching quite low she seemed to barely miss the trees and hangars as she pushed against the wind and finally reaching the center of the field put her nose down and slowly settled.

 WATSON HEARING
Committee Adiourns Investi- gation of Charges of H. legal Hangings Until
 After Christmas
By Associated Press

Washington, December 21.-Be- cause of the absence of half dozen witnesses summoned to appear to- day, the Senate committee inves- tigating charges made by Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, that American soldiers had been hanged in France without trial, was forced to adjourn until after the Christ mas holidays.
 A new batch of witnesses-nine in all-was ordered to appear January for examination in view of their statements made heretofore in let ters to Senator Watson and others that they had first-hand knowledge of illegal executions.
 Except in one instance there was no explanation as to why today's witnesses failed to appear. One was ready to start. but there was some delay in delivery of his railroad ticket and he will come later. With the expectation that the missing witnesses might turn up in the after noon. a second session was held, but the roll was called and none an swered, Senator Watson, himself did not attend the afternoon session.
 Chairman Branuensee announced that in order to make the investiga- tion as sweeping as possible, war department officials would be called to check up each alleged case of brutality or murder. It was again made clear that some of the hang ings witnessed by former service men included the execution of Il soldiers put to death after trial by court martial.
 Corporal Killed Private
 The only former soldier appearing today-Marion J. Wallis, of Athens, Ga.,-did not serve overseas, his tes- timony relating entirely to the al- legged killing of private by cororal at Camp Wheeler, Ga, in 1918. War department records to determine whether the corporal des- ignated by Wallis only as Corporal Crawford" had been tried were de- handed.
 There was an intimation that the committee would proceed to compel the attendance of George P. Hub bard, who recently declared in statement here that he saw the bod ies of three soldiers which had been disinterred, and that there was rope around the neck of each, show ing the men had been hanged. When notified that he was wanted as witness, and asked to come along at once Hubbard sent three-word telegram from New York saying: will not accept
