Reformatory Plans in Doubt
With G, 0, P.'S Divided
on Appropriation,

The possibility of completing the
new State reformatory at Pendleton
under the present plans appeared I'M
certain today. with Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature lined up sol
idly for cancellation Of the construc-
ton contracts and Republican mem
bers apparently divided.
The Democratic program, outlined
at a caucus of forty-One House mem
bers and sixteen Senators Thursday
night, calls for the cancellation of
the present cOst-plus contracts and
the completion of the reformatory by
a committee using convict labor. This
committee would be allowed to spend
not to exceed $3.50 600, as compared
with Governor AIcCray's request for
$4,000, 900 to complete the institution
under the present contracts.
It was proposed that the committee
bs composed of Governor McCray,
Jesse E. Eschbach, chief examiner Of
the board of accounts. and William
J. Fogarty, warden of the State
prison.
Items in the appropriation bill were
explained by Senator Walter S. Cham
bers and Representative John W.
Hitch, Democratic members Of the
budget advisory committe-
The proposed gasoline tax was dis
cussed, but no caucus action taken.
Only three members favored the tax
and they insisted there must be cor
responding decrease in other taxes.
The caucus voted in favor Of an
amendment to the appropriation bill
providing that the money collected by
the fish and game division of the con-
servation department shall remain in
the fund Of that division.
Action on other cuts in appropri-
st;ous also was taken.

Grafton, ILL.,, Feb. GAN inyesti-
cation was under way today into the
cause Of six eIplosionsn in which
three men are believed TO have been
killed at the plant Of the Illinois Pow
der Manufacturing Company near
here yesterday afternoon. More than
n dozen workers were injured, none
seriously, and damage estimated at
$4,000 was caused by the blasts.
Three of the 125 persons employed
at the plant are missing, and the be-
lief was expressed that they were
blown to pieces by the explosions,
which occurred within intervals of a
few minutes, and were felt for many
miles. Searchers have not found any
bodies, and several survivors were re-
luctant 10 believe that their three fei-
low workers persisted. Those unac-
counted for were wording in the build
ings destroyed.
Women Flee to Hills.
Fire followed the detonations and
threatened TO explode large amounts
of nitroglycerin, but was put under
control after several hours fighting
by the company's fire department. A
remarkable feature of the explosion
was the burning to the ground Of sew
eral buildings containing large stores
of dynamite and nitroglycerin without
the powder exploding.
Women and children OF Grafton
fled TO surrounding hills, fearing more
serious explosions, and great conster-
nation was caused. Hundreds Of per
sons from surrounding towns came to
view the smouldering debris, which
presented a spectacular sight with
numerous trees on the hills blazing
after the explosions threw burning
embers amongst them.
