FIVE FEARED DEAD
IN OIL PLANT BLAST
One Is Killed Outright, With
Four Believed Trapped
in Flaming Ruins.

~ the Associated Press.
FRESNO, Calf, January 30.-An
explosion today wrecked the new
s5oo.o0o absorption plant of the Petro-
leum Securities Co. in KettIeman Hills
oil field. south Of here, killing one man
and apparently trapping four others in
the flaming ruins. At least two other
men were injured.
An explosion in q tank within the
works started the fire. The flames
spread as burning oil from the tank
splattered through the plant.
Second Blast Blocks Rescuers.
Rescuers started into the ruins after
the first blast, but the explosion of
second tank drove them back, prevent
ing them from recovering the body of
Charles L. Phillips, foreman of the plant
crew, VINO was killed outright.
Fire fighters said bodies of the four
missing men apparently were in the
ruins. Intense heat prevented nre
fighters from operating. Three other
tanks in the plant were abandoned to
the flames because it was impossible to
approach
Field workers asserted that friction
caused the explosion. The new plant
vs. completed only recently.
Development 4 few days ago of new
gusher raised a new question in plans
for curbing the output Of the big oil
field. and Secretary OF the Interior Ray
Lyman Wilbur made q trip from Wash
ington to look after Government inter-
ests affected by its operation.
Gravel Spark Is Blamed.
workmen said gas and oil from the
well had been coming with terrific
pressure through the pipes to the plant
and that even the pipe lines became
hot. 1t was believed that gravel thrown
up by the well had struck sparks against
the side Of pipe, thus causing the
explosion.
The well is about a quarter of mile
from the plant. Field workers believed
the well was in no danger of igniting.
Supply pipes from the gusher were shut
on Immediately after the explosion.

Arrive at Isolated Village by Airplane
After Delay by Snow.
BY the Associated Press.
QUEBEC, January SO.-A drama of
personal courage and devotion to q fell
low worker, enacted beneath ice-chilled
waters of the Riviere aux Outardes in
the dead of night, held public atten-
ton today.
Scoring the added risk of contend
ing with strong and treacherous cur
rents under darkness, two divers
descended into a cofferdam at the VII
iage of Point Outardes last night. hon.
ing to be in time to bring Peter Trans.
another diver, to the surface in time
to save his life. He has been i'm
prisoned under 20 feet of water since
Monday morning at 1890.
The rescue divers, Quesnel Morency
and Lewis Begin, arrived at the isolat-
ed village last night in an airplane
after being delayed in their flight from
here by heavy snowStorn. The
coHerdam was constructed at the plant
OF the Ontario Paper Co., in the pro-
cess of building power dam. They
Immediately descended into the Golfer
dam.
Chances that Trans has survived more
than three days submersion in the cold
water without food or drink and under
pressure Of the a. which has been
constantly pumped into his diving he'll
met are considered remote.
Diver Fails to Respond.
Aryo silyala, q laborer, who, without
previous diving experience, donned a
spare suit and made several descents to
where Trans is imprisoned, said that he
had obtained no response when he
seized the trapped divers hand and
shook it. Persons acquainted with
Trans pinned their hope Of lis rescue
alive on his strong physique and
stamina
silyala said that the strong current
had freed Trans from the spike on
which his diving suit caught, but had
structure of the cOfferdam, from where
he could not be extricated without tear
ing out part OF the structure.
He said his inexperience in under
water work. and fear Of parting the air.
line upon which any chance for Trans
rescue hangs, prevented him from try
ing to drag the imprisoned diver clear.
Engineers yesterday began construct
ing crib about the spot where Trans
is caught to relieve the pressure Of the
current.
The progress of the rescue work has
been cabled frequently to Denmark,
Trans native country, where he has q
wife and two sons. He went to Riviere
Aux Outardes two weeks ago to do the
underwater work on the Golfer dam.
Friends Attempt Failed.
Eric Hating, an intimate friend of
Trans and who came to Canada with
him in 1928, donned q diving suit and
without any previous experience made
three attempts to aid him, but could do
nothing.
Morency and Begin, divers Of long
experience, were sent by their en-
ployers, the Davie Shipbuilding Co. OF
Lauzon, Monday. They were obliged to
land at Rimouski and again at NenticOte
ON their flight to Point Outardes.
Point Outardes is village 200 miles

BORAH DEMANDS
ACTION BY DORIAN
Holds Herbert Should Be Ex-
Onerated or Removed as
Dry Administrator.

traitor in his state has . clean bill of
health.
Congressional vets are busy planning
an intensive assault upon the citadel
OF prohibition to be launched in open
hearings before the House judiciary
committee on measures proposing that
the eighteenth amendment be repealed.
The anti-prohibitionists are frankly
grained at the prospect of q thorough
investigation of conditions under the
dry laws. They are preparing to take
full advantage Of this opportunity for
which they have clamored for many
months.
A spectacular battle. reminiscent of
the inquiry conducted a few years ago
by Senate committee under Reed of
Missouri, Is expected to result, as the
drys, too, are making their preparations
and intend to present q vigorous de-
tense.
Favor SABBATH Resolution.
Wet strategy is expected to resolve
into a concentration Of effort upon the
one or two measures thought more like
ly to be approved by the committee.
Representative Linthicum of Maryland,
Democrat, chairman Of the unonhcial
House wet organization, is inclined TO
favor q resolution by Representative
SABBATH, Democrat, Illinois, as the one
that should be vigorously pushed.
This measure proposes an amendment
to the eighteenth amendment, under
which Congress would be empowered TO
govern the manufacture, transportation
and sale Of liquors under Government
permits and In packages.
Another proposal highly favored by
the vets is that of Representative Mary
T. Norton, Democrat, New Jersey, for
national referendum on the question of
repeating the eighteenth amendment.
The hearings are to begin on Febru-
airy IL. The full judiciary committee
will look into proposals for the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment. Measures
modifying the existing law will be con-
sidered by a subcommittee under the
leadership Of Representative Dyer, Re-
publican, Missouri, himself q wet and
the author of measure to permit bev-
erages with an alcoholic content of ass
per cent.
Should some one or another of these
measures be brought eventually to the
floor of the House, the sponsors of pro-
hibition are confident OF their voting
strength. The highest estimate Of the
number of ballots commanded by the
wet bloc is little more than 100, or APP
proximately one-fourth Of the House
membership. The drys scoff at this fig.
ure and estimate 1t, rather, at about so.
HEARINGS WILL AIR ILLS.

scientific definitions of matter were
closer to the religious view today than
ever. He advocated omission of the
word "obey" from the marriage cere-
mony, saying it may have typiied the
marriage vows Of one period, but was
obsolete in this age.
Born at Kemptville, Ontario, Sep
TENDER 8, 1854, Bishop Anderson gained
his education at Trinity College School,
Port Hope, and at the University of
Trinity College ct Toronto. He COM
pleted his divinity course in 1887 and
at Ottawa. The next year he was
ordained . priest and given charge of
the mission at Beachburg, which was
turned over to him. It was while there
that the call to Chicago came.
A marked growth in the congregation
1Ollowed his assumption of the rector
ship Of Grace Church. The little Oak
Park edifice soon was outgrown.
A man OF commanding personality,
the Rev. Mr.. Anderson had made q
considerable impression in his COM
munity, and at q special convention in
Chicago in 1900 was chosen on the FIRST
ballot as bishop coadjutor of the do
cese. Five years later, when Bishop
McLaren died, he took charge of the
diocese. In 1925 the clergy and laIty
of Chicago celebrated the twenty-firs.
anniversary Of his conservation.

Murray, presiding bishop, died in st.
James Church at Atlantic City on
october 3. 1929, during . convention, q
special convention of the House of
Bishops was called to meet in Washing

he received 20 of the o. votes. two
more than the necessary majority The
election occurred in Bethlehem Chapel
Of the Washington Cathedral on No.

Bishop Murray's term was to have

Bishop Anderson said at that time
he had no intention Of resigning as
Bishop Of Chicago, but would continue
tn I'LL both ofices. The ONCE OF pre-
siding bishop carries with it the presi-
dency Of the National Council, execu-
tive and administrative body of the
church. Ofnces of the church head
quarters are in New York City.

Years ago 1t was recognized that the
balance established by nature had been
upset by Overgrazing; that rivers were
running wild IN the lowlands because
OF destruction OF vegetation In the high

Members OF Congress from the dis

sought. session after session, for legisla-

however, to catch the attention OF Con-

This process is at once the most
fundamental and the hardest to COM
prehend in the whole range of cellular
phenomena.
There is a certain set of chrome
Sones, or gene carriers, in every living
cell, and this set can divide into two
complete sets,s whereupon the cell body
divides also, giving two complete cells
and thus producing growth.
This growth is controlled by the

HEART ADJUSTING
PROCESS SHOWN
Meets Emergencies Better
Than Had Been Supposed,
Says Doctor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, November i0.-Tha
reputation Of the human heart for be-
ing alert to meet emergencies is in
creased by discoveries of Or. C. j. Wig
gers. professor of physiology at West
ern Reserve University's Medical School.
Contrary to current belief, the heart.
if injured so valve becomes leaky.
compensates Immediately for the leak,
Prof. Wiggers has found. on the very
next beat its pumping has more force.
Current belief isfthat the heart re-
quires years to develop compensation
for a lesion, by charging.
Advises Against Worry.
After watching the hearts behavior
for years, Prof. Wisgers believes per-
son suffering from high hood pressure
should not worry too much about it.
THE heart is analogous to a pump
ing station supplying garden hose"
he said. IF the opening at the nozzle
of the hose Is diminished, the pressure
may be increased at the pumping sta
ton TO keep up the flow of water
In case OF high blood pressure, the
blood vessels the heart supplies have be-
come reduced In size and the heart
automatically increases its pressure in
an effort to keep up normal flow Of
blood"
Prof Virgins referred TO present re-
search the world over to find a drug
or tissue extract that would success
fully lower blood pressure.
Narcotic Action Opposed.
A lowered pressure, however, he said,
diminishes the supply of blood to the
heart, causing it to weaken and in some
instances fail.
Hence he said, 1T is fully as dam
gerous to diminish the pressure of the
blood as to permit pressure to remain
high.
A picture of the way the heart COM
pensates Is obtained by Prof Wiggers
through use of an apparatus rare In this
country.
1t consists, roughly, of manometer
which can be inserted into the blood
stream of an anesthetized animal and
tube which may cause injury to
heart valve.
Attached to the nnanometer is q mir
ror that refscts the motion of the heart
beat onto moving Photographic film.
