TWO At TREASURY
HURT BY EXPLOSION
Chemical Reaction Believed
to Have Caused Blast
in Laboratory.

An explosion on the fourth floor
of the Treasury Department in the
laboratory of the Internal Revenue
Bureau today thought TO have come
from some chemical reaction, injured
two colored attendants shortly before
noon today.
Moses j. Dukes of 2205 E street and
William T. Slaughter of 1905 r street
were cut by flying glass and burned
by the flash from the explosion.
The accident hapyened when Dukes
was dumping some chemicals into an
old metallic ash can. As the material,
which he was throwing into the can,
came into contact with some previous
ly discarded chemicals in the can,
there was sudden flare and flash.
The force of the explosion threw
broken glass into Dukes body and
face, and went to the high ceiling.
Slaughter. who was standing near
by, was cut about the left arm and
his clothes were burned curiously in
many round holes.
Cause Is Not Determined.
Both men were taken to the Treas
ury relief room, from which Dukes
was rushed to Emergency Hospital.

w. V Linder, chief chemist of the

SHANGHAI. March 5.-Thirteen
hundred husky American Marines
this morning gave Shanghai the thrill
of its life when they marched four
abreast down historic Marking road
to the tune of the regimental march,
Valencia. The Marines landed at the
foot of Marking road at 10 o'clock,
formed along the bund, and then
headed by Col. G. S. Hill. Marine
band and bugle corps and small de-
tachment of mounted Sikhs, marched
through the principal business streets
of the international settlement.
The entire foreign population, as
well as hordes of Chinese lined the
streets of the six-mile march. When
the columns reached the race course
grounds, Col. Hill took the salute and
the troops swung back down Nanking

march.

DEMOCRATS TURN
DOWN LIQUOR ISSUE
Conference of Senators De.
cideS Prohibition-To
Drop Problem.

Prohibition is not to be made a
party issue. the Democratic conference
of the Senate decided today.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
chairman of the conference and party
leader in the Senate. said after the
meeting that the conference had recog-
nized that differences exist among the
Democrats in various States respect
ing prohibition.
"These differences respecting pro-
hibition," said Senator Robinson. ARE
not to be regarded as partisan in ma
ture. In the very nature of the ques-
ton. it cannot be made a party is
sue"
The Democrats of the Senate are in
tent, 1t was made clear, on eliminating
the wet and dry issue as party issue.
If they have their way, the party
throughout the country will follow
their lead in this matter. Prohibition
has threatened to disrupt the party
in the next national campaign.
Most Members Present.
The Democratic conference was at
tended today by nearly all of the AZ
Democratic members of the next
Senate.
Senator Robinson Was reelected
chairman of the conference, which
carries with it the leadership of the
party in the Senate. Senator Walsh
of Montana was reelected as vice
chairman and Senator Gerry of Rhode
Island, whip. One of the new Sena-
tors, Black of Alabama, was elected
secretary Of the conference in place
Senator Il no nf
tarily stepped aside.
Senator Pittman of Nevada was
selected as the Democratic candidate
as president protempore of the Senate.
Col. Edwin A. Halsey of Virginia was
the selection Of the conference as the
secretary of the Senate. and Charles
S. Hartman of Great Falls, Mont, for
sergeant alarms.
The Democrats will put these candi-
dates forward for the senatorial offices
at the opening session of the new Con
Sress probably next December. Be
cause of the Democratic gains in the
elections last year the Democrats at
that time will have AZ members of the
Senate to 48 for the Republicans, and
FarmerLabor Senator.
Two Contests Looms.
Two of the Republican Senator's
elect, Ware of Pennsylvania, and Smith
of Illinois, are faced with contests
for their seats. If they are not seat
ed when they present themselves, the
Senate will meet with 46 Republicans,
Al Democrats and l Farmer-Labor.
The Farmer-I4abor Senator, Ship
stead of Minnesota, votes with the Re
publicans. Under such circumstances
there would be a tie. and Vice Presi-
dent Dawes would cast the deciding
vote in favor of the Republicans.
There was no discussion at the con-
ference today as to what the attitude
of the Democrats would be toward
the seating OF Ware and Smith at the
next session. 1t Is believed. however,
that they will almost solidly oppose
the immediate swearing in of Ware
and Smith.

make plans for having her placed In
commission to come to Washington
to take the station of the Allen. which
will be relieved and placed out OF
commission. Vessels out OF commits
sion always deteriorate rapidly and
it is believed that all OF the vessels
will need some repairing, ana the de-
partment's letter contemplateS these
necessary repairs in order to put the
vessel in the best of condition for

cruises with the local Reservists
aboard.

Gently assigned here as instructor of
the Reserve Battalion and as com.
mander of the Allen, has expressed
himself to officers as favorable to such
change, but, like some of the Re.
servists, they regret to see the Allen
go because of the fine condition in
which they have gotten her. When
the change is made it is probable that
detachment of Reserve officers and
men will be called to active duty for
the purpose of taking the Allen to
Philadelphia and returning to Wash
ington with the newly assigned ship.
All OF the destroyers named in the
departments letter are of the same
design. having been built at Newport
News during the war, so that it does
not make much difference as to which
one is selected. the only difference
being in the names.
The assignment of the new vessel
will make the cruises of 1928 consider
ably more comfortable for both officers
and men than those of the past year,
and for this rea son alone the enlisted
personnel particularly will welcome
the change.
The Navy Department has informed
the local Reserve Battalion that it
