BN United Press

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, June 18.-The
Supreme Court, when it adjourned
few days ago for the summer, left
behind it the smallest docket of I'M
finished business in recent history.
Only 283 cases remain undecided,
and very fow of these have been
pending long.
Last year at the close of business
400 cases we're on the docket and
each year before that the number
had been greater. Chief Justice
Taft has ben endeavoring to speed
up theh work of the court ever
since he took Office, and he is largely
credited with the present achieve
ment.
Only a few cases of great ma
tional Importance remain undecided.
Of these the most prominent is the
Mammoth Oil case, outgrowth of
Teapot Dome investigation. 1t is
similar in most respects to the Elk
Hills case which the court decided
last winter, ordering the Doheny
leases Cancelled because of fraud and
corruption.

Death LIST 27
IN GAS BLAST;
MORE MISSING
Rescuers Show Heroism
Hunting for Bodies

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 16.-With 38
workers listed today as missing"
possibility arose that the total death
toll from the Equitable Gas Company
tank explosion here Monday, may ex-
coed fifty. Already 27 are known
dead, others are expected to succumb
to their injuries and of the missing,
many are believed lying dead be-
meath tons of debris.
The cellar of the Pittsburgh Clay
Pot Company, now a mass of tangled
wreckage, may yield many of the
missing men. The plant employed
1T who were lat work when the
nearby tank of the Equitable Gas
Company let go it's terrific blast.
Several days will be required to pen
citrate to the bottom of the cellar.
Nearly a hundred of the 500 in
jured were still confined to hospitals
today. A definite check has not been
made. The bodies of the last two
victims were found in the flooded
basement of the Clay Pot Company.
1t had previously been estimated that
ten or more had been drowned there
like rats. The two bodies We're found
at the foot of the steps leading from
the cellar. Apparently the men had
been unable to escape the onrush of
water, for their bodies were not
mangled. The coroner said they died
from drowning.
The remaining structure Of the ex-
ploded tank was scheduled to be
RACED today. Other tanks damaged
by the explosion will not be repaired
until the investigation into the cause
of the blast is completed. There is
some speculation whether they will
be rebuilt.
Edwin Smith, an employee in the
Joseph Horn Warehouse, injured by
the explosion, died in a hospital dur
ing the night, increasing the death
list to 81.
Additional bodies are expected to
be found in the tangled mass of

pearance at the trial. The judge also
ordered Blackmer's property to be
seized to the extent of 100000 and
held to satisfy any judgment that
may be rendered against Blackmer
in the present proceedings.
Testimony of the western oil man
is sought because he is said to be in
position to tell of the $250,000 that
passed to Fall thru the Continental
Trading Company, Ltd. of Canada
after the former secretary of the
interior leased the Teapot Dome
Naval Reserve to Harry f. Sinclair.
With the labors of the grand jury
investigating the jury-fixing activi-
ties of William ]. Burns, in the Fall
Sinclair trial practically at an end,
rumors were fitting around here to-
day that prominens persons not
hitherto named in connection with
the case would be involved in indict-
ments for contempt of court in con-
nection with the derailed trial.
In this conflict between rival cap
italist groups, one with government
backing, Burns, the labor-hating
master of stoolpigeons suffered one
of the worst setbacks in his career,
when William McMullin, one of his
most trusted sleuths, turned out to
be a government operative while he
was investigating jurors for Burns.

signed faxed affidavits at the orders
of Burns operatives may bring his
former. master to trial for perjury
charges.

Thrills for Morons.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - The
third of the copyrighted articles based
upon forgeries against Mexico and
Nicaragua, appeared today in the
Washington Herald, the local Hearst
sheet. Written by one John Page, it
bears all the familiar trappings of a
cheap detective story Of the mick
Carter" or "Old Sleuth" variety.
One of the documents branded by
Mexican authorities as forgeries pur-
ports to be an order from Gales di-
recting that 100000 pesos ($50,0O0)
be placed at the disposal of the Mex
lean ambassador in Guatemala, 'for
expenses for newspaper propaganda
in favor of Mexico" the sum to be
charged to "secret expenditures of the
department Of foreign relations of
the Mexican government.
Even those who at first suspected
these Hearst stories were based upon
stolen documents are now convinced
that they are forgeries, in view of the
latest series of alleged secrets" of
the Mexican government. 1t is point
ed out that the clumsy and romantic
designation: "secret expenditures of
the department of foreign relations"
is not the language of diplomacy, but
only the product of the imagination
of those interested in trying to estab-
fish spurious case.
In order to convince those who read
and believe the Hearst publications
there is note of Historical explana-
tion," stating that the word Citizen
applied to the representatives of the
Mexican government "is radical
nomenclature, first used during the
French revolution, and corresponds to
the Communist 'comrade'".
"Conspiracies Everywhere"
Even the establishment in Guate-
mala OF a Mexican embassy is viewed
by the Hearst Journalists" as con-
spiracy to lower the alleged prestige
of a nonentity who as American min
lister, carried out Wall Streets impe-
rlalist designs in that country and
thereby discredit the United States
government. The money issued for
propaganda" is said to have been
used by the Mexican ambassador, AL
tonzo Cravioto, for articles in the
Guatemalan papers, to make him a
formidable rival of Arthur H. Cess
Ter, the American minister and dean
OF the diplomats there"
The Mexican government is charged
with the Crime" of raising its Guate-
malan legation to the status of an
embassy SO that the Mexican repre-
sentative could achieve social and
diplomatic precedence over the Amer
lean minister, Mr.. Gessler."
Plots and conspiracas ere every
where evoked by the fertile imagina-
tons of the Hearst scavengers, forg-
ers, bribers and paltry propagandists
Tor the lmperialist ravaging of Mex
leo, Nicaragua and all Latin America
War on Weaker Country"
A note of unconscious humor is
struck by the Hearst writer who
charges that Mexico's alleged financ-
ing OF the liberal movement in Mica
ragua was for the purpose of max
ing war on weaker country"
This observation is the laughing
stock of Washington today. Even the
open and avowed imperiaHsts cannot
conceal their mirth at the audacity OF
the thing in view of the bulldozing OF
the weaker nations of Latin America
by the iron fist of the American in.
vaders.
The publication Of the third install.
ment confirms the conviction that the
whole campaign is based upon crude
forgery.
