FREAKISH BLAST IN
STORE BEING PROBED

SUPERIOR.-A blast which shook
houses nearby and broke the windows
of the Evans grocery store, in the
heart of the city, during blaze in
the store, is being probed by Fire
Chief Ole Norman.
The explosion tore two-foot wide
strip of plaster from the ceiling OF
the lower floor of the store for more
than 100 feet to the front entrance.
The freak nature of the explosion,
the path of which resembles that OF
a heavy projectile, lends an air OF
mystery to the blaze.

BalfOur Goes
to Assistance
Of Lloyd George
Prime Minister Glowingly
Praised by Political Enemy
Crisis Temporarily
Passed.

London, March 7.-"He is one Of
the greatest figures OF the worlds
history-what is the use OF abusing
him." said Sir Arthur J. Balfour, al
luding TO the prime minister. David
Lloyd George, in speech at the
Carlton club today. This speech,
which was expected TO give some
clarity to the situation, threw no
new light on the crisis. however, and
Sir Arthur, like his unionist col
legues, Austin Chamberlain and Sir
Laming Worthington Evans, lar
from reproaching Sir George Young
er, who was the real provoker OF the
crisis, did not even mention his name.
Balfour made powerful plea for
continuance of the coalition system
as opposed to return TO the two
party system, which he declared was
only a fair weather system, unsuited
to the present abnormal times when
the nation was still laboring under
the aftermath OF war. Never, he
said, was there time when the CO.
operation of the unionists and liberals
was more desirable than now, and
declaring that he had spent many
years politically fighting Mr.. Lloyd
George and therefore ought to know
something about him.
Exceeds Friends Tribute.
Balfour paid a more glowing
tribute to the premier than had ever
been heard from the prime ministers
enthusiastic admirers. The whole
Importance of the speech lies in the
influence it is calculated it will have
on the rank and file OF the conser-
vative party as coming from the
oldest and most respected leader OF
that party. The extent OF this in
fluence cannot Immediately be cal-
@Iniated.
No announcement was made in the
speech of the premier's future plans
and in this way the speech was dis
appointing.
Crisis Has Subsided.
While the crisis has subsidized, the
problem has not been solved. The
prime minister has acceeded to strong
representations and will remain to
see through the governments Irish
and Genoa policies He is retiring
to the seclusion OF his home in Wales
for a period variously mentioned as
fortnight to six weeks, leaving ac-
tive charge of the situation to Mr..
Chamberlain and other cabinet minis
ters. His condition tonight was so
improved that he was able to get out
of bed. He hopes to preside over
the cabinet council at noon tomor-
row, and will start Thursday morn
ing for Criccieth.
The general view is that the crisis
will not recur until autumn, when
parliament will be dissolved. But
the activities OF the dissentient union
lists have by no means, rs seen by
their determined attacks on the free
bill on the parliament yesterday. Six
teen of their leaders today issued a
stirring manifesto to their followers
in sound conservative policy. includ
ing efficiency of the second cham
Der, so gravely impaired of late
years." which is a claim of restora-
