WR ECKED BY BLAST; FIRE BREAKS FORTH
Fathers Are Showered by Burning Elm b CTS
 Houses Set Aflame
FLAMING CELLULOID
 IS SHOT INTO AIR
Investigation Indicates In- cendarism-Clues Are
 Found in Ruins
NORTH ARLINGTON, N.

NORTH ARLINGTON, N. J., June 10.-Eight persons are dead, five are missing and 75 injured as the result of terrific explosions which tore a cellulOid plant asunder, fired seven houses and shot sheets of flames on a scream ing thrOng of bathers.
 The blasts sent scores of injured to the hospitals, some in a critical condition.
 Bremen began a renewed search today of the ruins for more bodies in the burned houses or in the Passaic Riv- CT where bathers fled to es- cape the flames.
 The heat brought scores of bathers to the small bathing beach near the plant of the Atlantic Pyroxylin w a S t e Company, dealers in rap celluloid.
 AS darkness descended, men, women and children fingered on the beach to escape the heat, or splashed in the cooling waters of the river.
 Suddenly, witness, John Jack son said. there was a roar and flames shot 200 feet into the air.
 Burning debris and flaming cel- luloid fell in showers.
 New sheets of fire shot upward and shrieks of people in houses nearby were achoed by screams of bathers as the flames struck them and their bathing suits were aflame or scorched. Many plunged towards the river as the second explosion shattered the night and the bursting of gas tank splat- tered fire anew.

THE LYTToN COMMISSION

The central Chinese government, dis
satisfied with the prospective separation
of the rich province of Manchuria from
the rest of the Chinese nation, protested
to the League of Nations early in 1892 and
that body, agreeably to both China and
Japan, created commission headed by
Lord Lytton of England, and including
representatives of France, Italy, Germany
and the United States, charged with the
duty of making study of conditions IN
Manchuria and recommending solution
of the problem of an equitable and peace
full agreement. The commission spent ten
months in its consideration of the various
angles and finally brought in a report in
which it recommended that China a1d
Japan be invited to discuss the matter
with an advisory commission of the league,
with the idea of having China authorize a
Manchurian government, complete treaties
with Japan and enlisting the aid of the
league in the rebuilding of China. To this
report the Japanese representatives took
exception, declaring that the report solved
none of the present difficulties, that its
adoption meant only delay and inaction
and that meanwhile citizens of the Jap
anese nation would be deprived of the pro-
lection of their interests.

CANDY AND BOOKS

Excepting textbooks for school chill
dren, the average American buys less than
one book year, while spending $40 for
candy during the same period, according
to recent writer.
This statement is somewhat surpris-
ing, as is the further fact that among the
leading nations the United States stands
sixth in the number of new books published
annually. This refers to separate titles,
and not to the total number printed.
Another strange fact in this connec-
ton is that Russia leads in the number of
new titles produced, in recent year is
suing 36,680, followed in order by Ger
many with 81 900, Japan with 19,967,
Great Britain with 1880, France with
Ii, 992, and the United States with TO-
153.

SENATOR'S EXPENSES


Considerable comment has been
caused by the publication in the New
York Times of some items in the expense
account of the United States senate for
the last fiscal year, including $44,147 for
stationery, $4,000 for restaurant meals,
$4,000 for barber bills and $6,350 for
mineral waters.
Minor items include 500 aspirin tab
lets, three pounds of bicarbonate of soda,
five gallons of witch hazel and small
amounts of bromo-seltzer, soda mint tab
lets and medicated alcohol.
While the amount involved in all these
senatorial perquisites is not sufficient to
become matter of national concern, it
looks as if bills for purely personal ex-
penses might we'll be paid by the senator's
themselves. The example of such petty
sponging is not inspiring.
Referring to the 500 aspirin tablets
consumed by the solons, the Times thinks
that these "do not represent the total
amount of headache which the senate has
cost the country

INITIATION UNNECESSARY

There is much talk today of initiation
of the currency. There is some doubt of
the need of initiation today.
Back in 1929, initiation of the cur
reney might have been the means OF STAY
ing off the collapse of the stock market.
There was not sufficient supply of
currency to carry along the vast amount
of credit that has been built up.
But with the shrinkage in stock values
from $50, 600, 100000 to less than $685.
000, 100000 and the increase in the cur
rency supply of approximately $1,000
900 900, it is probable that our currency
supply is sufficient for our needs.
There is very little likelihood of the
stock and security values again mounting
to total anywhere near the 1929 peak.

 1T made it point to turn south from the Columbia at the Dalles in order to get the fine views of the major peaks of the Cascades from the desert side on my way to Crater Lake National Park. The farther south, the more reasonable bus fares, and I rode one from The Dalles through Bend and on down to Fort Klamath, where I caught ride with University of California professor and family, right up to the lake that evening.
 One great joy in travelling, for me, is in meeting congenial minds along the way. Sometimes they are the great, or near-great. Again, they are of very humble station, but al together I find the human family very interesting. Tn Yellowstone Park while hik- ing I got two most unexpected pick ups, one by a New York City school teacher and his wife, another by an American physician and family rom one of the larger cities of interior China on vacation after many years of absence from the United States.

Chester Mulligan, former dredge superintendent of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields of Nome, returned North recently bound for Fairbanks from which place he will go to Nome by plane. He is in full charge of the affairs of the Alaska Sunset Mining Company and will supervise the construction of the companys new dredge to get it ready for operation early in the 1884 mining season on Seward Pen insula.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1933-10-20

According to latest advices, the Hammon Consolidated Goldfields of Nome, took up in August last, the option held on a considerable tract of mining ground, formerly con- trolled by E. E. Powell of New York. Mr. Powell mined in Nome during the early days of that camp. This ground was optioned to the company early this year and has been thoroughly prospected by drill- ing to ascertain the values contained. The fluctuating price of gold with it's upward tendency was, it is said, a prime factor in the taking up of the option.
 On the last sailing for Nome of the steamer Victoria, about October IS, 759 tons of mining equipment and supplies were shipped north.
