BLAST HURTS SEVEN
ON BURNING YACHT
Firemen Have Hard Work
Fighting Blaze on Craft in
Harlem River.

Five firemen, policeman and a pri-
yate watchman were burned and
bruised early this morning in an eXplo-
sion which occurred while they were
fighting a fire on board the 100 foot
yacht Kanised, owned by Arthur Mich
olson and moored in Harlem River off
the plant of the New York Launch,
Yacht and Engine Company at 10th
street, of which Mr.. Nicholson is presi-
dent. The firemen were hurt badly
enough to be treated by DR.. Goldstein
of Fordham Hospital and were sent
back to their quarters.
The flames spread from the Kanised
to the 100 footer Virginia. also owned
by Mr.. Nicholson. and both ships were
badly damaged amidships The seventy
FIVE foot yacht Flyer. another of Mr..
Nicholson's boats, was moored just north
OF the Virginia, but the fircmcn towed
her out of the danger zone. The police
said that so far as they have been able
to learn the explosion happened in
sixty gallon gasoline tank stored in the
Kanised. or in quantity of crude oil
said to have been on board the yacht.
Inc lire was ulSCONtTeu ny Ddlitl
Sheehan. watchman for the company,
who notified Patrolman John Murdock
OF the Highbrdge station. The loca
ton of the plant forced the foreman
to run lines of hose more than six
blocks TO reach the fire. and because
OF this second alarm was turned in.
Lieut. Thomas Golden and Fireman An
drew McManus. of Engine Company 43,
and Lieut.. John Donahy and Fireman
John j. Mulhal of Engine Company AZ.
went on board the Kanised and were
working on the hose lines on deck, as
sisted by Sheehan and Murdock. when
the explosion occurred.
The force of the blast which was
heard throughout the Morris Heights
section OF the Bronx, was so great that
the seven men were hurled to the deck.
Lieut.. Golden was knocked unconscious.
and was slipping over the rail when he
was dragged back by Fireman Theodore
Matthews, who with other fremen OF
Truck 33 had rushed on board The
other injured men were carried with
Lieut.. Golden into the offices OF the
company, where DIR. Goldstein attended
to them.
Almost fifty yachts and launches
valued at several hundred thousand dol
lars. were moored in the Harlem River
in the vicinity Of the damaged boats.
il was feared for a time that the flames
might spread to them. but the Flyer
was the only one that the firemen had
to move This boat was towed further
into the river and taken back after the
fire had been got under control.

Remaining Eleven Desert.

The same question was put to Alwon
Knowles, IL West Ninety-ffth street,
and Mr.. Knowles replied that his senti-
ments were similar to those Of Fol. He
was eliminated. and then Siegel ad-
dressed the ten remaining in the box:
"Do you share the prejudices Of the
previous speakers?
Eve do" came the reply like trained
chorus, and as the ten spoke they
reached for their hats and got to their
feet
The ten that walked out We're Ernest

that had preceded them in the walkout,
are what lawyers sometimes describe as
men "of an unusual degree of intelli-
gence-better than average" and all are
citizens Of standing and good repute.
Henry Miellxe. one of these strikers
for principle. said in speaking for the
group last night:
I'VE were all of a mind as to our
hostility to the way in which the Vol
stead act is enforced We believe that
the law is much too rigid and severe
and that it s. distinct violation of the
liberties OF American citizens. SO far
as / am concerned-and the rest agreed
with me-I might possibly convict a
man accused of dist'lling liquor in
tenement house and for commercial
profit. but | would never vote to con-
vict man who made little for his
own use or who carried flask In his
pocket or his automobile. Talesmen in
other cases that / talked to yesterday
seemed to feel this way about IL. and 1t
seems that the law should be amended
as soon as possible"

Sentiment against the Volstead act
inspired a jury box full of substantial
citizens to walk out yesterday in the
Federal District Court, where Judge
Julian Mack is sitting. They refused
to serve in a case involving a saloon
keeper charged with selling a pint of
whisky.
1t was probably the most eXtraor-
binary silent protest against obnoxious
enforcement of particular law that
was ever experienced in the Federal
courts in this city. Hours later the
corridors Of the old building and even
the Judges chambers were still buzz
ing with the talk about it.
For many months it has been diff
ficult to obtain juries for the hearing
of certain kinds of cases arising under
the Volstead act. but the wholesale
walkout was the first instance of citi-
zens. abandoning en- masse a recognized
civic duty rather than serve against
their private sentiments as regards
personal liberty.
Giant First to Protest.
Edward Dimm. a saloonkeeper OF loe
Lewis street, was to have been tried pc

sold a flask of liquor to Peter Reager,
prohibition enforcement officer. While
Judge Mack was temporarily occupied

Dimm, and Maxwell S, Mattuck, Assist

box was filled after the usual Federal
procedure, subject to the usual elimina-
tions. and then Attorney Siegel began on

HINDS SURGESLOTS
 OF FALL FLOWING
Entomologist Says Flowing Under Cotton Stalks Will
 Kill Boil WeeViIS

Auburn. October T.-(Special.)-A final appeal to the cotton growers of Alabama to control boil weevll damage in 1928 by blowing under all cotton stalks immediately after the last picking Is being made by pr. w. E. Hinds. entomologist for the exten- sion service. in a communication to county agents and other agricultural workers.
 In this communication Dr. Hinds emphasizes the fact that if farmers would thoroughly turn under all cot ton stalks immediately following the last picking. or at least three weeks before frost, the boil weevil problem of 1928 would be largely solved.
 Explaining the effects of this work. Dr. Hinds said flew weevils can live more than two weeks in the fall without food, and the turning under of stalks at this particular time cuts off almost completely the late de- veloping fall brood of weevils. which ordinarily live through the winter

Gordon wanted 1t for Columbiana, but when they had counted up their loose change they found that neither had the amount needed to swing the deal.
