Following Explosion of a
Tank Car of Acids at
Stamford, Conn.
DAMAGE 100000
DONE IN FIRE
Men We're Working at the
Car and Were Probably
Burned Up

Stamford Conn, Feb. 24.---Two men
are missing and 100000 fire loss
was sustained az the result of the ex-
plosion OF a tank car OF acids at the
plant of Richards and Company, max
ers of artificial feathers, here to-day.
The two men, Joseph Hogan and
Joseph Taxter, were working at the
tank car and are believed to have been
blown to pieces and burned in the fire
which followed.
The tank car was on track between
warehouses of the Richards plant. Two
of the warehouses were entirely
burned and third was gutted. In the
two buildings lost were stored 100000
pounds Of cotton and 200 drums Of al
collol. IN another building close fy
10000 gallons of alcohol but the fre
did not reach this.
The explosion is thought to have
been produced By water coming into
contact with nitric or sulphuric acid,
which the two employees were hand
ling.
Fire following the explosion pre-
vented search for the mems bodies.
Hogan and Taxter were transferring
the acids from the tank ear to metal
drums, each of which had capacity
Of fifty gallons. The initial explosion
blew the tank car to pieces, and for
this reason ii was believed the men
were destroyed. TIE acids from the
tank ear fell as a spray of flame on the
ware house roofs and within five
minutes the fire area embraced thethree
sheds. Shortly after there were minor
explosions as the drums Of alcohol
burst and the contents took fire.

DOUBT FIELDS STORY
Los Angeles Police Are Laying Less
Stress on II.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. "a Growing
disbelief in the story of the murder
OF William Desmond Taylor, related
in Detroit by Harry NJ. Fieids, in GUS
tody there, was expressed to-day by
Los Angeles officials.
They pointed out two changes Fields
made in his. original story. One was
the reduction of a 81 900 bill to a 800
bill in connection with his statement
that he was paid 5000 for having
driven a Chinese, white woman and
white man to the Taylor apart
ments.
The other was his changing Of the
location where he said the pistol with
which Taylor was shot would be
found. The officers said they found
it at neither place he named.
A bank teller was found here, how
ever, who told of man entering a
bank with a 81 900 bin and acting aus
piciouslS about the time Taylor was
slain.
In addition Thomas Green deputy
United States district attorney here.
was quoted as having stated a man
he believed was Taylor had sought his
aid a year ago in stamping out the
drug traffic.
This latter was pointed 10 as pos
sible partial proof of Fields state
ment that the film director was killed
because of his alleged interference
with the drug traffic.
The officers learned also. that
Chinese named Wong Lee the name
Fields said was borne by the Chinese
in the alleged murder party-had left
Los Angeles Chinatown three DAYS ago
when il was first intimated Fields
might have important information
the case.

TREATY VOTE
BY COMMITTEE
HELD SATURDAY
Senator Brandegee Pre-
sented New Reservation
To-day After Having
Conference at the White
House, But Did Not Him.

Washington, D. c., Feb. PA modi
fed blanket reservation to the fou
power treaty, said to be satisfactor,
both to President Harding and to {
majority Of the members Of the Senate
foreign relations committee. was de
bated by the committee to-day and al
agreement reached to vote on tht
treaty itself and all proposed reserya
tions at to-morrow's session.
The new reservation was laid be-
fore the committee by Senator Brande-
gee, Republican, Connecticut, after q
conference with President Harding
The Connecticut senator was said not
to have reported it as embodying the
presidents views, but the understand
ing Of committee members was that
it would be acceptable to the White
House.
The text of the reservation follows:
"The United States understands that
under the statement in the preamble or
under the terms of this treaty there is
no commitment to armed force, no al
lance, no obligation 10 join in any
defense"
Although apparently acceptable to
most Of the Republican and Democrat
je reservationists on the committee,
the reservation, according to to-day's
decision, will not receive unanimous
committee approval. Senator Johnson,
Republican, California, was said to
have shown opposition during the
meeting and it was generally expected
that Senator Borah, Republican, Ida
no, who was absent, would take a
similar position.
The compromise reservation is more
direct and shorter than the original
Brandegee blanket proposal to which
a majority of the committee members
previously had indicated their sup-
port Under the original reservation
the United States would have set
forth in detail that it was to assume
no moral or legal obligation under the
treaty or any adjustments resulting
from 1t without the consent of Con-
gress.
Committee acceptance Of the com
promise, if formally agreed to to-mor
row, is expected TO shorten the reser- |
yation fight which was developing in |
the Senate. although il appears certain |
that various other proposed reserya-
tions will be brought forward both in |
committee and on the Senate floor and |
will lead to considerable debate. Sena-
tor johnson already has one pending /
in the committee which would attempt |
TO define the word rights" as used in
the treaty.
Final favorable action on the reser-
vation and the treaty in the committee
l. not expected TO result in an imme-
date report to the Senate. the leaders
Indicating that they viii hold all the
remaining arms conference treaties in
committee until report ON all of
them is ready. II is the hope of tie
leaders to have such report com
pleted by the end OF the next week
by which time il is expected that Ser
ate debate will be concluded ON the
