KANSAS CITY. Mo. March l.
The list of dead in two explosions
which occurred here was placed at

additional bodies had been COM
pleted.
Five bodies have been removed
from the charred debris Of a car

woman burned 70 death.
Bodies of all the victims were

A bill has been introduced in the
chamber of deputies sponsored by a
sroup of members providing that
the legion of honor awarded for

GERMAN SAYS u. S.
is GENOA GUIDE

' BERLIN. March 7.-America's at
titude will determine whether the
economic conference at Genoa will
be a stepping stone to world peace,
Dr. Walter Rathenau, minister of
finance. declared before the main
committee of the Reichstag today.
Because America was the decid-
ing factor in the war and the peace
which followed, she should bear re-
sponsibility for the welfare of the
nations whose fate was involved.
Rathenau said. The speaker was
not given to excessive, optimism
over the Genoa meeting, It might
form the basis for discussion or
European economic problems, but
real peace is still a great distance
away, he believed.

IL was discussed in the Indian

DR.BALLOU CLOSES
ASSEMBLY ROOMS
FOR STUDENT use
school Superintendent
Sees Danger to Pupils
AS Well as Public.

School auditoriums were ordered
closed to assembly use by students
by superintendent of Schools Ballou
yesterday in face of the District
Commissioners suggestion that the
auditoriums be closed for theatrical
purposes. but allowed open for
students.
DIR. Ballou said he failed to see
why the auditoriums should be safe
for students If not safe for miscel-
laneous audiences attending the
atrical performances in the schools.
Engineer Commissioner Keller, in
recent letter to the Board of Edu-
cation, pointed out that systematic
fire drills of students reduced the
hazards of their attendance in the
assembly halls. believed not fully
protected from fire hazards, to an
almost negligible degree
Halls Declared Safe.
In a communication to the school
hoard yesterday, the Commissioners
declared they believed the school
assembly halls safe for use of citi-
zens' associations and civic groups
for mere assembling places
DIR. Ballou said yesterday he
would keep the assembly halls
closed until the board learned from
the Commissioners exactly what
changes were necessary to make the
auditoriums safe.
The auditoriums were closed last
Friday by the Commissioners fol-
lowing a report from Fire Chief
Watson that the Central High
School auditorium was not equipped
with fireproof materials called for
in theater buildings. 1t is under
stood that most of the twenty-seven
auditoriums are not in A dangerous
condition. The Johnson-P Powell and
Thomson halls were opened last
might to meetings. The Commits
sioners expect to complete a survey
of the auditoriums in the near fu-
ture at which time a list of altera-
tions in the various assembly halls
will be sent to the Board Of Edr-
cation.
Letter OF Commissioners.
The letter to the school hoard au-
thorizing the use of the auditoriums
for civic gatherings explains the
situation, as follows:
I'VE wish to say that the use Of
the assembly halls of the public
schools as meeting places for the
members of citizens associations
and other civic groups of like cha--
acter is, in our opinion. unobjec-
tionable when the use is limited to
periodical meetings for transaction
of the business In which such asso-
Citations are principally interested.
and when It is not extended to the
giving of entertainment to large
audiences"
Architects' Plans Returned.
Rigid inspection rules ordered in
force in the building inspectors

aster has resulted in the returning
of several architects plans for fur

sioner Keller reported yesterday.
The return of the plans for sew
era1 large buildings for further
work on the part of the architects
by the building inspectors ONCE is
rather unusual. Col. Keller admit
ted. He said. however, that the ac-
tion cast no heavy rejection on

You state in your letter that the

Why?
That is answered in my article but
evidently the point missed you The
wool grower is satisfied for he does not
ship his wool from Shoshone to Bos-
ton but ships it to Portland and recon-
signs it to Boston and he saves 81
cents a hundred by so doing.
He thinks the railroad foolish haul
ing his wool 1900 extra miles to give
him 81 cents but that is not his bust
ness nor care as long as he saves the
27 cents In other words he has a
rate on his wool in proportion to Port
