 WEST VA. DYNAMITERS
Labor Trouble Blamed for Explosion at Fairmont
 Mine

Fairmont, ". Va, May r.-state search carly today continued their search for persons who late last night dynamitad the transformers Of the Consolidated Coal Co.,, serving the companys Highland mine. A high tension power line that serves other mining properties is believed by police 10 have been the object of tho dynamiters but 1t was not dam aged.
 State troopers were aided in their search by bloodhounds and county officers. Mine operators said sev- eral properties would have been forced to close had the power line been damaged.
 Fairmont, 10 miles distant, felt the force of the blast, and the ex- piosion was heard for miles around.
 Reports on the general situation in this district, where a strike was called April 1, showed little change last night. J, l.. Studdard, interna- tioual representative of the United Mine Workers, said there were no developments, while the operators declared the production of non- union coal yesterday waa the great est since the strike began. They re-
 ported loadings of 992 cars al 140 non-union miners and 121 cars at five union operations.
 No statement of car loadings was , given out at union headquarters. Studdarl declared that members Of the union know their rights un- der the law and that they were keeping within their rights. IL was intimatcd that "penceable picketing" would be continued and in this con- ncction state police said that yester- day approximately 25o men, women and children picketcd the Dakota mine of the Bcthlehem Mines Corp. Other plckoting was reported throughout the region.
 Governor Gore, who arrived here yesterday from Charleston, con- tinued conferences today at his headquarters 10 obtain information concerning the mining situation. He said he expected 10 remain in the
 district for several days. The visit is inc second the governor has made m the northern West Virginia coal
 fields since A strike was called by the union.

delegates from France, Italy and China expressed themselves in favor of it.
 Mir. Burton said the objections he had heard to the plan were that prohibition of the export of poison- ous gases might give an industrial advantage 10 some countries He said the object of the conferene should be to establish basis of equality between countries that can manufacture gases and those that cannot, because. he said, some Of these gases are needed for industrial purposes,
 Russia's absence from the league Of nations again came into discus- sion today. The original draft Of the convention for the control Of traffic in arms provided that it should re- come effective when ratified by l2 powers, including Russia, the United States, France. Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and Japan.
 The convention proposed by Great Britain eliminates Russia from the required signatory nations. and the question was raised today that since Russia refuses 10 participate in the conference she will not ratify the convention and therefore that the original draft should be changed in that respect, Upon the contrary fl was suggested that if Russia Is not included in the agreement other na- tions may refuse to sign it.

AMERICA CONDEMNS USE OF
 POISON GAS AS WAR ARMS,
 DELEGATE TO GENEVA SAYS
Theodore E. Burton Sub mits Resolution PrOhibi- ting Export of Materials for Making It.
By The Assor!ated Press.

By The Associated Prcss
 Geneva, May 7.-Condemnation ot the use Of poison gas and prohibition Of It's eXportation for war purposes Is proposed in a new article of the draft convention offered by Repre- sentative Theodore F. Burton of Ohio, heading the American delega- ton at today's session of the inter- national conference for control Of the traffic in arms.
 MT. Burton said he expressed the desire of the American government and people that some such provision regarding poison gas be adopted. He said the subject had been brought 10 the attention of President Cool ldge. and that the president would approve a prohibition of the expor- tation Of poison gas for var pur- purposes.
 He recalled that nine Of the pow CTS that signed the Washington treaty agreed 10 fry 10 induce other powers 10 agrco 70 measures for bidding the use or ssphyxiating gases in warfare, but he admitted that there are obstacles 10 prohibit ing the export of such gases,
 The article proposed by Mir, Bur ton avows that the Use in var of poisonous gases and liquids has been justly condemned by public opinion, and that the prohibition of such has been incorporated in treaties which have been signed by most Of the civilized powers
 "Thei high contracting parties therefore agree absolutely to pro- hiblt the export from their territory of any such asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases and all analogous liquids intended for Use in conncc- tion with the operations of war" the article says.
 MT, Burton also submitted an al- formative text a.s follows:
 TO the end of lcssening inc horrors Of war and making less in. tense the suferings of humanity in- cident thereto, the high contractinq parties agree to control the traffic in poisonous gases by prohibiting ! the exportation Of all asphyxiatIng toxic or deleterious gases and al analogous liquids, materials anr | devices manufactured and intended for use in warfare, under adnqua,, penalties applicable in all place where such high contracting par ties exercise Jurisdiction or control.' : Before the Burton proposal va, referred to a committee of experts

 Shoes in Wall Space
GOODS VALUED AT $3,O00
Former Merchant Taken to New
 Haven By Deputy ', S. Marshal
 Marsh For Hearing Before Com
 missioner Corbett-Ends Mystery.
Especial 10 the Rerald,l


 Bristol, March 7.--Antonio Puleo. formerly proprietor Of the Peerless Shoe Co.,, q concern that went bank rupt on North Main street a few weeks ago was taken to New Haven today by Deputy Marshal A. P. Marsh of New Britain for a hearing before United States Commissioner Frederick J. Corbett on a charge Of concealment of assets to defraud creditors.
 Pulco was arrested yesterday by Detective sergeant Daniel McGilli- cuddy, after a search Of the former shoe store had revealed a cunningly contrived partition, which hid shoes valued at about s3,000. The parti- ton ran down from a beam, about two feet from an adjoining beam, which also supported a partition, l thereby giving a closet space Of practically two feet in width. This novel place of concealment had been passed by in numerous searches by creditors and their attorneys in the last few weeks In attempts to dis- cover where the stock of goods had suddenly disappeared to when Puleo went bankrupt as his store was scantily supplied when his petition was filed.
 Charges of concealment Of assets arose some months ago when action was brought against Pulco by the International shoo Co.,. alleging that he had concealed assets Of the bankrupt Loretta Shoe store of Hartford. The charges were no, substantiated and apparently the matter dropped but tho local police kept busy and the result showed that some of their suspicious were well founded.
 A civil action is pending in the court against the present proprietor Of the Peerless Shoe Co.,. which had { changed management. by the Inter national Shoe Co.,, Francis MortelNt Of this city being the defendant Judge Joseph VI. Donovan Is repre- senting the International Shoe Co in the action.
