KELLOGG GETS BID
TO TREATY SIGNING
Will Go to Paris if Other Ma.
tons Ministers Are
Present.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Kellogg has received the
French invitation to visit Paris August
~ or 28 for the signing Of the anti
war treaty resulting from Franco
American negotiations. He will attend
II the other signatory powers also are
to be represented in Paris by their for
eign ministers.
Mr.. Kellogg does not plan or expect
to take advantage Of his projected Eu-
ropean trip to enter into informal con-
versations with the various foreign
ministers in Paris on matters relating
to this country. He has no other busi-
ness in making the trip than to sign
the anti-war treaty and Is not expected
to depart from that program to share
In anything more than the casual con-
versations on international subjects
incidental to the assembling in one city
Of the foreign ministers Of 50 many
important countries.
A date for the Secretary's sailing
from New York Is still to be set. He

kellogg, but has already decided to re-
turn Immediately by the first steamer
available after the treaty has been
signed.
There seems little doubt that the
ceremony Of signature will be given
special significance by the presence In
Paris Of all Of the foreign ministers who
are not compelled by other circum-
stances to remain at home.
It was said specifically at the State
Department today that MIR. Kellogg
would not discuss debt matters while
in Paris. Press reports from European
capitals have indicated that some for
eign ministers, particularly Stresemann
Of Germany, might seek to elaborate the
treaty-signing ceremony into genera
informal discussion of such matters al
reparations, the German desire for with.
drawal Of French and British forces
from the Rhineland and similar ques.
tions of European interest. Mr.. Kellogg
however, does not intend to have any
share In any such discussions and viii
confine himself strictly to the business
Of signing the new peace treaty.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule Riv-
er, Wis, July 27.-President Coolidge's
enthusiasm over fishing and his re-
Gently acquired skill to hook fish from
the water at will have resulted In his
violating the game laws Of Wisconsin,
at least to the extent Of catching 26
fish in one day, which exceeded the
law by one fish.
It was last Wednesday, when the
President fished furiously from early
morning until 6 o'clock in the eve
ming, with only brief recess for lunch
con, that he is said to have become
entangled with the game laws, which
place Is fish as the maximum number
for any one angler to take from the
waters on one day.
Could Split Count.
1t Is not thought likely that the
President will be called upon to fur
nish any sort of an alibi, In spite Of
the fact that the report about his vio-
lation is being well spread about this
section. If the worse came to the worse
he could fall back on the plea of ignor-
ance. If that did not go so well he
could charge up half Of his catch of
26 to John Laroque, his Indian guide,

NORFO[K|SSHAKEN
BY HUGE EXPLOSION
Four Thousand Pounds Of
Powder Go Up in Naval
Depot Blast.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. . gg@.
NORFOLK, Va, July 27.-A terrific
explosion shot flames hundreds Of feet
into the air and turned the skies into
bowl Of yellow light. when 400
pounds Of smokeless powder ignited in
an ammunition magazine at st. Julien's
depot at Portsmouth shortly after mid
night. No one was injured and very
little damage was done.
The explosion vented its fury on the
fiimsy roof of the magazine and the
night air. Rumbiings were heard in
Norfolk more than i've miles away.
Within few seconds after the blast.
every magazine Of the forty at the depot
was flooded by q special emergency
system and the depot fire department
was playing streams Of water on the
ruins Of the exploded magazine.
All telephones at the naval depot were
put out Of commission by the conclusion
and frantic signals from the Norfolk
Navy Yard went unanswered. An alarm
was turned In and Portsmouth, Cradock
and Navy Yard fire departments sped
toward the ammunition dump. A COM
pany Of Marines was ordered out from
the navy yard and rushed to the depot
in truck, while Portsmouth police also
joined in the relief forces.
The heat of the burning powder was
intense Flames Spurted 200 or more
feet into the air and officers quarters
more than 600 feet away were said to
have started smoking. Mrs. D. G. Culp,
a gunner's wife, rushed from her home
after the explosion and an arm thrown
up to protect her face from the glare
was scorched.
Bricks and broken concrete from the
walls Of the magazine were hurled a
short distance outward, practically the
entire force Of the blast going into the
roof. A Marine walking q post few
score feet from the magazine was un-
injured
Spontaneous combustion was the only
explanation that ordnance officers could
advance as a probable cause Of the ex-
ploSion. There was no warning until
the roof was hurled skyward by the rush
Of escaping gases.

$50 INSANE FLEE
ASASYLUM BURNS
Countryside Near Nashville
Secured for Escaped
Patients.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 27.-Fire
that destroyed the Administration
Building of the Central State Hospital
for the Insane, near here, early today
sent the l,272 occupants scurrying
scantily clad from other buildings Of
the institution which were threatened.
Guards, who first drove the inmates
from the dormitories to prevent their
being burned to death, soon were DASH
ing through the nearby woods and
fields In q frantic effort to round up
the more dangerous patients and. quiet
those terror stricken by the flames.
Messengers were sent by police 70 warn
residents for miles around.
Guards Search Grounds. sesT
Torches In the hands Of guards blazed
as they sought out the inmates known
to be dangerous and tried TO form Q
Gordon around the grounds. Most OF
the patients stood quietly at a distance
upper floors Of the building, which was
practically q total loss, but others,
screaming In terror, fed down the road
and into nearby fields. Some attempted
to leap into automobiles as the glare
OF the blaze attracted spectators. A
drizzling rain soaked them and caused
men and women to Shiver as they stood
in their nightclothes.
In all, some $50 patients escaped for
q time from the control OF the guards,
but within few hours a check showed
that all except Is had been rounded up.
Those still at large included two homi-
cidal ,maniacs, Jesse Mcpherson OF
Nashville and Samuel Kemper Of VIII

the confusion that prevailed, but 1t was

back to 1859, were believed to have been
DESTROYED. It was feared that this
would make impossible Identification OF
some patients. Nurses and guards, who
were housed in the building, lost all
their personal belongings. Loss was
estimated at approximately $250,000.
The cause of the FIRE, which apparently
started on the roof, remained to be de-
termined.
No One Injured.
DR.. w. H. Farmer. superintendent OF
the hospital, one Of the last to escape
the burning building, said the hospital
would continue to run, but that no new
patients could be admitted for several
months. He believed it would not be
necessary to transfer many Of those now
housed there to other institutions.
The State Of Tennessee maintains It's
own insurance fund on its institutions,
but this Is believed to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. There was ur-
certainty among State officials today as
to whether the destroyed building could
be replaced without awaiting action Of
the State Legislature next year.
None of the patients or guards was
injured during the fire, DR.. Farmer said.
