Bath Workman
Victim Explosion
Gas Plant Sunday

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Bath. Jan. 11-John Lowry of Bath,
an employee of the Central Maine
Power Co., was the victim Of Pc
culiar accident and explosion Sunday
afternoon, which burned him severe
~ about the face and neck.
A leak was reported in the gas
machine at the gas works, and
Lowry was dispatched to investigate
the same. Turning on the blowers
and extinguishing the machine, the
worker waited several moments for
it to cool and then mounted the lad
der, opened the door of the machine
and thrust his head inside to seek
the leak. For a moment or two all
was well and then suddenly with
out any warning an explosion shook
the machine and Lowry was hurled
backwards to the ground, where he
luckily alighted on his feet, prevent
ing further injury.
Suffering from the burns inflicted
by the explosion, the man was
rushed to a physicians office where
lures had been badly burned, includ-
ing his eyes, although the lower half
of his face was the more severely
scared. There is little danger of
the burns proving fatal. The COM
pany is at loss to explain the explo
sion.

Senate Fight Over
CoOlidge's Choice
l. C.. G.. Member Ends

washington, Jan. 11.-(AP)-
Senate opposition to one of the two
interstate commerce commission
nominations submitted last week by
President Coolidge virtually collapsed
today after the interstate commerce
commission voted unanimously for a
favorable report on the appointment
of Richard V. Taylor of Alabama.
The nomination of Thomas Wood
lock of New York, who was given a
recess appointment last summer af-
ter the senate failed to act at the
last session, still is pending, how
ever. He appeared before the COM
mission Saturday and will be heard
again Wednesday.
Before acting on the Taylor nomf-
nation the commission without dis
sent but with only eight members
present approved the principle of the
Smith bill for regional appointments
to the interstate commerce commits
sion in the future. A sub commit
tee was authorized to work out de-
tails of the proposed legislation.
The committee vote on the Taylor
appointment was taken after the
nominee had been heard in open
executive session for 80 minutes. AL
though owing to 66 years and
slight infirmity in his hearing, Mr..
Taylor impressed the committee with
his knowledge of railroad affairs and
of problems confronting shippers OF
the south, particularly in the Gulf
coast sections.

Washington, Jan. 11.-(AP)-Debate
on whether Gerald P. Nye is to be
seated as a senator from North Dako-
ia by appointment of the governor,
goth out of the hands of Senate lead
ers today and developed into free
for-all argument.
Both the Republican and Democratic
leaders sought to mark an end to the
discussion and have vote by $50 P.
NJ. tomorrow. but their proposals for
an unanimous consent agreement fail
ed.
Debate then was resumed, with Sena-
tor Frazier. Republican, North Dako-
ia, who has led the fight for the seat
ing of Nye, taking up the discussion.
He expressed the view that if Mr.. Nye
a Progressive" there would be little
question about his right to seat.
He pleaded with the Senate to use
common sense and not legal technical
tiles to arrive at conclusions, arguing
that any doubt should be decided in
favor of North Dakota SO that the
state would not be deprived of repre-
sentation at this session of the Senate
equal to that of other states.
OF six speeches made today only one
was against the seating of Mr.. Nye.
That was by Senator Bruce. Democrat,
Maryland, who argued that Nye was
not entitled to his seat under the North
Dakota statutes or the federal consti-
Cution.

Warns of Loss Best
British Lives by War

London, Jan. 11.-(AP)-Grave
warning of the danger arising from the
loss of many of the best British lives
in war was uttered by Premier STAN
ley Baldwin in his presidential address
at the meeting of the Classical Assoc
citation. After dwelling on the history
of Greece and Rome. the premier said
the time came in the history Of the
Roman Empire when there were not
enough Romans to carry on the work
of Rome. There were fears among
those in responsible government today
that war, by the destruction of the best
lives in such great numbers, had left
Britain without enough of her breed
to carry on the work of the British
Empire.
"Our task is hard enough, but II
will be accomplished" Mr.. Baldwin
said. Yet who in Europe does not
know that one more war in the west
and the civilization of ages will fall
with as great shock as that of
Rome"

Just before Sacco and VanZetti

were not radicals and too dangerous
men to be allowed at large in the

The prosecution, he said. repeatedly

When the jury panel was exhausted,
he declared that Deputy sheriffs
