BLAME GAS FOR BLAST
Fire Chief Says Careless Closing
McCrory Store Heater Responsible.


The explosion in the McCrory's
variety store basement, E. Wash
ington ST., Sept. g., probably was
due to an accumulation Of gas due
to carlessneSs in turning on a gas
heater, Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell
declared today.
Voshell said he had information
that the engineer had gone to the
basement Saturday night to turn off
two heaters. 1t is believed that one
of the heaters had been turned off
previously by another employee and
the engineer turned on one heater
instead of shutting off the gas.
Voshell said the gas might have
been ignited by an electric sewer

BALTIMORE. Sept. 18.-More
than $50 prisoners at the Maryland
penitentiary refused to work today
following a night of rioting in which
800 are said to joined.
The strike and uproar were staged
as a demonstration against the re-
fusal of State Welfare Director
Janney to order a public hearing
on charges of cruelty by officials
and guards at the prison. I
At intervals throughout the night
the prisoners, all locked III their

Those who remained in the cells
will go without food, Brady said,

whether the men will be allowed
to state their grievances publicly.
Brady said it is possible the men
in the cells have food supplies suffl-
cient to last several days. Water
is provided each in his cell. 1t is
regarded as probable the men have
had a strike in mind for several

Our experience of the past year
gives US every reason to anticipate
that American business will attain
a heavier volume of production and
a new level of efficiency in 1928 and
that the people Of the country will
share in a common prosperity.
Prospects for a substantial re-
duction in federal taxes are exceed
ingly bright and the government is
continuing q wise policy Of economy.
Many large business organizations
are expanding their business and
there should be employment in the
coming year for all who want work.
The Firestone Tire e. Rubber
Company is increasing its facilities
not only in production. but also in
distribution and service to motor
lists. This includes the building of
a large factory in Los Angeles for
