GREss-sAYs COUNTRY is

Chicago, Jan zi--MeiVliie =
Stone, formerly general manager
OF. the Associated Press, in an ad-
dress tonight criticised parts of the
constitution Of: the: United States
as leaving this country without a
leader and condemned the congress
as lacking men Of high csliber.
Mr. Stone was guest of honor at
a banquet given by the Commercial
club. He prefaced his talk on
Some of Our Problems" with the
statement that this was the first
time he had ever felt free in an
address to say exactly what he
thought. -
During the years I was general
manager of the Associated Press /
could not express myself on paft-
san matters, for fear some one
would hink i was representing the
attitude of the Associated Press
which necessarily has to remain
1,on-partisan and impartial in all
Matters" said Mr. Stone. 'tNow that
/ no longer head that organization
I can say what I please"
. -.
Declaring that Germany, through
the war, chad left us world in
which it was almost impossible to
live, because Of the many problems
which were resulting in chaos"
Mr. Stone suggested changes in the
constitution as remedies, saying it
was unworkable because it provid-
ed three equally coordinated
branches Of government-the judi
cial, the executive and the legisla-
tive. The judicial dominated, he
said. >:
Mr.; Stone said the relation of the
president to congress had never
been settled and consequently Eve
face many complications" II,
II think every Student Of our
system must agree that our nation
al congress is not properly compos--
ed nor its authority properly de-
fined,o he said. 'NThe 18th amend
ment providing fog, popular cleo
ton ,of senator's certainly has not
improved the; personnel of that
body. It is almost as difficult to
name the conspicuous members OF
the senate .asgstoe repeat the words
of the national anthem, .sj. s.
"There is ssoasehing wrong with
the house. Its members all seem to
have district minds. There is no
leadership in either house; instead
there is something wellnigh akin to
chaos. <,
"out Of the confusion imposed
by a chaotic congress, party rule
has nearly disappeared at Wash
ingtou and a system of bloc con-
troll is developing" 2t.;

 Policemen investigating the incl dent were told that the poison had been distributed around the buildings of the home several days ago by a rate exterminating concern of Brooklyn. and was swept up yesterday and pit in an ash barrel.
 The children, searching the recepta- cle for buried treasure, came upon the poison and ate 1t. During the afternoon they became violently ill. Dr. Mcdonald Peggs. of Tottenville. was called.

LIGHTNING FIRES
 BIG OIL WAREHOUSE
Spectacular Blaze Sweeps Gulf Pro- duction Company Tank Farm
 at Humble.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 13.---More thar one million barrels of oil was doomed early last night, and indications were that a similar amount probably would be consumed, in a spectacular fire sweeping the Gulf Production con- pany tank farm at Humble. Light ming caused the blaze.
 Three enormous underground res |ervoirs, said to have capacity of 100000 barrels each, caught fire, and the boiling oil spread rapidly toward three other nearby pits. The whole farm consists of 20 tanks, all of which may be lost.
 The blaze could be seen for miles.
 The farm is situated on a prairie and fears are entertained that oil will spread beyond immediate prop erty The site Is three miles from Humble, however, and will not men, ace the town.
 While the oil belongs technically to the Gulf Production company the earthen storage belongs to the Gulf Pipe Line company, subsidiary.
 Workers were handicapped in fight ing the blaze both because of the heat and the condition of the field. Rains have almost flooded the section and fire fighting apparatus could not be moved in quickly. Efforts were being made to keep the blaze back by the use of steam. fte

Neither one would discuss the accident of its causes, but. according 10 witnesses the plane, after looping bit, had been speeding up the river when the motor failed. and. devoid of motive power the craft had fallen into a tailspin at an altitude too low for recovery,
 River craft swarmed about the hull of the plane. All the police boats in the arbor were rushed to the spot. Thetngboat Chancellor. belonging to the Merritt Chapman Wrecking Con- pany. and commanded by Captain Co., briel Anderson, salvaged all that was left from the wrGck-the fuselage and engine, Valiant attempts to lasso the wings proved useless, as they snapped from the body and sank. The skeleton was hauled aboard the Chancellor and taken up the North River.
 The value of the plane, which was said to be operated by Bridgeman as a pleasure craft, was placed by the police at s25,0oo MT. Bridgeman kept 1t in hangar at Fort Hamilton. On the Jersey side of the river his auto was awaiting his return from the trip down the bay. Instead the car was hurried to the Broad street Hos pital and brought him back to his apartment.

Thousands See Plane Wrecked

New York, Nov. 13.--Thousands of persons who had flocked to Battery Park to pass their Sunday afternoon were idly watching the cavortings of a hydroplane flying a few hundred feet out over the bay at an altitude of about 250 feet yesterday afternoon when they were mortified to see it go into tailspin and, striking the water nose foremost, disappear momentarily from sight. Two persons were seen to be aboard frantically struggling to loose their safety belts.
 While the crowd ran to the sea wall to use all available telescopes and glasses, motor boats and craft of all description sped toward the crippled plane. Coxswain Thomas Robinson of the United States revenue cutter Man hattan, was out in a small sailboat with two other seamen and arrived there first by cutting the sails of the boat and using oars. Soon afterward came the Saegatta, an eighty-foot mo- tor boat belonging to the Todd Ship building company. Robinson succeed ed in rescuing the fliers and put them aboard the Saegatta in a stunned and bruised condition. They gave their names as Arthur Randall, pilot, twen- ty six years old of s21 West End Ave nue and Theodore Bridgman, forty six of the Apthorp Apartments 2211 Broadway.
