OMAHA IS CUT OFF
FROM OUTSIDE WORLD

Omaha, Neb., April g. (AP) -
(By radio to Kansas City)--A heavy
snow, which bore down telephone
and telegraph wires and blocked
street traffic, isolated Omaha from
the outside world this morning.
With wires broken over q wide
area, the Associated Press resorted
to radio, debating this dispatch from
WOW, the Woodmen of the World
station in Omaha, to WDAF, the
Kansas City Star.
This vicinity was the center Of
storm that extended eastward into
Iowa. Temperatures were q degree
or two below freezing.
In Omaha street cars were delayed
by snow on the tracks and scores of
automobiles were stranded in deep
drifts.
Council Bluffs and Omaha street
cars were completely blocked for a
time when wires went down near the
Missouri river bridges. Workers
walked across the river to work.
Many telephone and telegraph
poles were brought down by the
weight Of the heavy, clinging snow.
However, the grounding Of circuits
by the snow piled on cross arms was
causing more trouble than breakage.
Trains were delayed not so much

probable that the contract award

Alternative bids have been asked,
however, which the board hopes
will permit it to 60 ahead with .
structure which, when completed,
will cost not more than $500, 900.
Could Be Left Unfinished
That part Of the structure to be
financed by the appropriation al
ready made will probably be left
unfinished and the next legislative
session asked If it wants to ap-
propriate more money to complete
the job. Decision to proceed with q
larger building than can be finished

COOLIDGE WILL
VETO FARM BILL,
CLARK CLAIMS
New Yorker Says Passage Of
Bill Means No Agriculture
al Legislation

Warrington, April 6.-(AP)-The
statement that "it seems certain to
me-" that President Coolidge again
will veto the McNary.Haugen bill
because of its equalization fee pro-
vision was made today by Represen-
tative Clarke of New York, Re-
publican member of the house agri-
culture committee, in minority re-
port opposing enactment Of the re-
vised farm measure.
Clarke, one of the six members
voting against reporting the bill
from committee, said that its pas
sage with the obnoxious equaliza-
ton fee in it, at this late hour Of
this session, means no agriculture
legislation" while "every student of
our agricultural problem knows some
Of the producers need help now."
Reviewing the objections set forth
by the president in his veto message
on last years bill, the New York
member said that If the equalization
fee was unconstitutional at that time
it still was unconstitutional, and that
"it therefore follows, as the day the
night that the president will veto
the present Haugen bill containing
the equalization fee; therefore, agri-
culture gets no helpful legislation"
Notwithstanding the experience
Of the Brazilian government with it's
valorization scheme" he continued,
land Great Britain's recent expert
ence in seeking to control the law
Of supply and demand regarding
rubber, that proved SO disastrous to
that industry; the Haugen bill seeks
to hamper, hinder, humiliate, humble
and hamstring the law Of supply and
demand that every economic author
ity. az well as the demonstrated les
sons Of history, shows eventually
rules regarding an. commodity COM
petin~ in worldwide markets.
ut Is difficult, in view Of the
strong language Of the presidents
veto message, to believe that farm
legislation was really wanted; il 50,
the Objectionable equalization fee
could have been eliminated"

Four Explosions Occur Soon
After Blaze Is Discovered
in Refinery
FIRE FIGHTERS INJURED
Telephone Service Disrupted
and Lights Are Out For
Long Periods

Havana, April 6.-(AP)-The
great fire in the Standard Oil
company's refinery at Regla,
across the harbor from Havana,
was still raging this morning.
A change in the wind however
relieved fears that the flames
would spread to the gasoline
tanks, where 100000 gallons
are stored. BY morning the
casualty list had mounted to 80
injured, including IL United
States sailors. Only one was
seriously injured. A Red Cross
station was set up by the U. s.
s. Wyoming.
All ships anchored in the VI
cinity of Regla were ordered to
move out closer to the mouth Of
the bay, rs further explosions
wcrc feared.
Several explosions occurred
last night at the refinery, and
the task of holding the fire
reasonably in check was IN al.
most unsurm0untable one. The
damage is estimated 1t least
$2,OO0,0O0.
The first belief of the COM
pany officials was that the fire
was due to faulty electrical wir.
ing, but the police were Of the
opinion that it was the work Of
an incendiary.
Havana, April 6.-R)-Fire ragged
today in the Standard Oil company's
$15, 100000 refinery at Regla
across the harbor from Havana.
Four explosions occurred within
an hour after the fire was discov-
cred at 10 o'clock last night and
frequent blasts Cured after mid.
night, although pone were of suffi-
cient force to cause added damage.
Inhabitants were driven out o1
the suburb as the flames spread
over wide area surrounding. the
homes Of the oil company officials.
The officials held little hope that
much would be saved in the storage
area of the refinery, although q
large force Of fire fighters was on
hand.
Two hundred men from the Unit
ed States battleship Wyoming were
sent to Rcgla to aid in fighting the
blaze. Twelve of these were later
brought into the temporary Red
Cross station established there, suf-
fering from minor burns and ex-
haustion. Tho entire Havana fire
also went to the refin-
cry.

BLOOMINGTON, Cal, March O.
Sore feet and tired muscles affected
contestants in c. G. Pyle's 3,400-mi
tranS-COntinental race today. With
only two laps, and those easy ones
completed, many of the 200 run
ners and walkers in the "Bunion

endurance contest.
One of the hardest stretches in
the whole grind faced the contest
ants today.
Willie Kohlemanien, durable
Finn, showed little effects of the
strain of setting the pace for the
field in the first two laps. He led
the first heat and Monday trotted
into Bloomington from Puente in
4:12:37. The distance was thirty
seven miles.
Ed Gardner, Seattle marathoner
made the distance in 4:43:15 for
second honors. His feet were bis
tered, however and he showed the
strains of the grind.
