POWDER MAGAZINES BURN
Du Pont Storage, House Loss Ex-
ceeds 100000.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlspaCcn 10 Inc SUR.
PENIS GROVE, N. J., August o.
Fire destroyed 100000 pounds OF
powder in the magazines of the E- !.
du Pont De Nemours Company at
Carney's Point near here, today.
Three buildings and FIVE empty
freight cars were burned, but not
one of the employees at the plant
suffered so much as a burn.
Most of the workmen had quit for
the day, but several were still linger-
ing at the plant when the first of the
magazines f1ared up. Save for that
flare, there was no explosion, but
the powder made a fierce blaze that
threatened five magazines used for
the storage of gun cotton, the near
est of them only 200 yards away.
Strenuous efforts by firemen and EN-
ployes kept the flames from spread
ing farther.
The Carney's Point plant is used
chiefly for storage purposes. 1t is
directly across the river from Will
mington, Del, where the company has
it's main plants. Officials would give
no estimate of the loss except that
at present prices, 80 cents pound,
the powder destroyed was worth
100000 by itself.

FALL0N NOW is FACING
BROKERAGE INDICTMENT
One Other Charge Likely to Be
Quashed as Result of
Acquittal.
By the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, August because of
his acquittal late Friday night of the
charge of bribing juror, William ].
Fallon probably will escape trial on
an Indictment accusing him of con-
spiracy to obstruct justice. His
prosecutor, Assistant Federal At
torney William ]. Millard, said that
as both indictments were based on
the same evidence Fallon's acquittal
madei probable that he would not
be tried on the other indictment.
There remains, however, another
Federal Indictment against Fallon,
the disposal of which the Federal
authorities have not yet decided. This
alleges that Fallon, his partner,
Eugene F. MCGEE; Edward M. Full
Ter and w. Frank McGee conspired
to defeat the ends of justice of the
United States and concealed from
the trustee in bankruptcy certain
assets of the defunct brokerage firm
of E. M. Fuller G. Co. This indictment
was based on confessions of the
bankrupt brokers.

E. J. Hcnning, Assistant Secretary
of Labor and now acting head OF the
Labor Department in the absence of
Secretary Davis, who recently re-
turned from a trip to Europe to at
tend an international conference on
immigration problems, says Euro
peans have our next President all
selected and give little heed to the
fact that President Coolidge is a
strong candidate to succeed himself.
Germany has it that La Toilette
backed by the farmer-labor vote and
gathering under his banner many
adherents of both parties, will be the
next President of the United States.
London holds to the view that John
w. Davis, by virtue of the fact that
he accepted the Democratic nomlna-
ton, will be the popular choice tor
President
Forget Coolidge Strength
Few Europeans take into consid-
Grafton the strength of Calvin Cool

kuehleman as declaring that Ger

is quoted as saying, by the belief
that President Wilson represented
the general feeling in the United
States on the issues to be settled at
Versailles. Either that or Germany,
clutching at a straw as she saw her
military castles crumbling in defeat
late in 1918, hoped the strength of
President Wilson would carry

she cannot look forward with any
degree of assurance that order will

Germany is likened to a child with
no aim of it's own by MIR. Hennlng.
Germany does not know it's own aim
and does not know which way to go.
he declares He said he told one of
the high German officials of this OBJ
servation and the official replied
How can we know what we are to
do? Every one of our proposals is
torn to pieces, either by your coun-
try, Great Britain or France. We

the Dawes plan, and by it the repara-

success of Premier Herriot's impor-
tant mission in Paris. where he met
the French cabinet tonight in a hur-

Logan Praises Result.
James A. Logan, jr., sat as unofH-
cial American representative with the
reparation commission this afternoon,
and after the signing he described
the protocol as a businesslike ar
rangement between the reparation
commission and the German govern
ment. Its completion without diff
culties, he said, was due largely to
the skilled handling of the situation
by NJ Barthou, president of the COM
mission.
Despite the shifting of conference
interest to Paris, the experts con-
tinued their labors in Downing street
With the German experts they COM
pleted their study of the report on
restoration of fiscal and economic
unity in Germany and tomorrow will
draft the covering letter with which
the report will be handed to the Big
Fourteen"
Third Phase Unsettled.
The experts stnl are confronted
with the task of getting the Germans
to agree to the third phase of the al
lied program for operating the Dawes
plan. The Germans have baked on
that part Of the French scheme which
permits allied priority in the pur-
chase of coal coke, dyes and other
product within Germany, and the
Berlin representatives evidently are
riot compromises on the military
evacuation of the Ruhr.
The experts will meet at 6 o'clock
