FERTILIZER PLANT NEAR HERE RAZED BY DYNAMITE Twenty-five Hundred Dollar Loss Sustained by Connersville Man in Beeson's Station Blast. TRAIL OF TWO FOUND MILTON. Ind.. May 6. A fertilizer reduction plant, located at Beeson's tation, south of here, and owned by Morris , Cohen bf Connersville, was completely wrecked by dynamiters about 1 o'clock Tuesday moping. The loss to Cohen is about 32,500. ' The dynamiting is thought to be the outcome of a neighborhood revolt against the location of the fertilizer factory at Beeson's station. The bodies of animals were put through processes to fit them for fertilizer, and many protests had been made in the neighborhood against the operation. Which produced an obnoxious odor. Although the dynamiting occurred about 1 o'clock It was not discovered until daylight, as persons living in the neighborhood not knowing what the explosion was, did not get up to investigate. . Wayhe Sheriff to Scene. Sheriff Clem Carr of Wayne county, Sheriff James Steele of Fayette, and Prosecutor Qath Freeman, of Wayne county, spent Tuesday investigating the explosion. They found footprints Indicating that at least two men were Involved in the affair, charge of dynamite was indicated, as the frame building housing the factory was blown to bits, and pieces were scattered for many feet from the scene of the explosion. Cohen, who makes his living by handling Junk and the sale of fertiliser made at the plant, is hit heavily by the loss of the building, It was said at Connersville. An attempt to wreck the plant was made last Thursday and the building Rras slightly damaged. It had only been in operation again two days beor, 'flit explosion last sight, z According to Sheriff Carr, persons Irvine in the neighborhood were- not responsible tor the explosion. It was-probably caused by perrons who had a personal grudge against Cohen, the sheriff said. No clue was found of value, although the fuse was picked Dp by the sheriff. 150 Killed Daring Fighting At Munich (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Monday, May 5 One hundred and fifty persons were killed or executed during the fighting at Munich according to an account of the fall of that city printed in the Lokal Anzeiger.

A plan for converting the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Canada into a great wool, milk and meat producing area was presented to the Canadian senate and house of commons today by Vilbjaleur Stef anson, Norwegian explorer of the Canadian Arctic, Mr. Stefanson's ideas were recently placed before Arthur Meighan, miniBter of the interior, whose department administers the natural resources of

the nortn and it was tnougnt aavis-1 over. The plan of the parade commltable to have the explorer address par-1 tee is not to have men march by coun-

liament His project involves introducIng large herds of reindeer and aomesticatlng and developing great herds of Musk ox. Both animals would furnish milk and supplies and the musk ox would also afford a wool supply. The Canadian north, Mr. Steianson said, could be utilized to help solve the present and future food shortage and development of his project would expedite opening of mineral and other resources of the north. He estimated there were from one million to two million square miles of land available for grazing in a climate too severe for cattle but where reindeer and musk ox could exist the year round. .

' The presence of armed peasants was i noticeable in the streets and eight j hundred Austrians who fought with I the German government troops to re - gain the city, were heartily cheered The citizens were busy during the day tearing down placards vilifying the Prussians.

The Bavarian war ministry will be transferred from Bamberg to Munich and a resolution dissolving the Bava rian army will be adopted by the cablnet because of the poor work done Dy the Bavarian troops during the trou bles In this city.
